5 科技：Dyson sphere (4)

And this can happen quickly, if a square kilometer of solar collectors takes a month to build, we could be done in a decade. If only our infrastructure on the planet’s surface can keep up with the quickly growing budget of energy. Even collecting one percent of the Sun’s energy is an unbelievable change in our species energy budget.

We could create the infrastructure to being basically unlimited amounts of energy around the solar system for all sorts of projects. Colonies on other worlds, terraforming planets, constructing more mega structures, or even raveling to other stars, it could be the start of an interstellar civilization. Based on physics alone, this is not just possible, but easy.

It’s such a simple process and such a necessary step for any species to expand beyond their home planet that many astronomers think there are provably Dyson Sphere already out there in the Milky Way. We haven’t spotted any yet, bu t they could be there. It’s far forms certain that humanity will ever get to this point our attention is too often focus on short-term political gains and conflicts that will not matter in the long run.

But if we survive the challenges, we’ve set ourselves, we could potentially become the first species in the universe to create a structure with the scope of a star. If we do it, the only limitation left, will be our own imagination.
