Description
Kardhasev Type 1 Civilization Scale
Technological level of a civilization that can harness all the energy that falls on a planet from its parent star (for Earth–Sun system, this value is close to 1.74x1017 watts), which is more than five orders of magnitude higher than the amount presently attained on earth, with energy consumption at ≈4×1019 erg/sec (4 × 1012 watts).The astronomer Guillermo A. Lemarchand stated this as a level near contemporary terrestrial civilization with an energy capability equivalent to the solar insolation on Earth, between 1016 and 1017watts.
Nikolai Kardhasev - Civilization Scale
Though is already predicted by theoretical physicist Michio Kaku that earth would somehow reach this scale in 100 to 200 years, but I interpreted these level with complete mining of energy from the host planet, including the planet inner core. This scale of advancement I doubt will ever come to thousand year scale. Instead that will take a few ten thousand of years of works, so that where the years at the title come. But whatever, I'm no man scientist , my prediction maybe wrong horribly . The main composition was initially modelled in Sketchup and rendered in VRay Next to give me better guide for the piece, my model can downloaded here sta.sh/01bhk9zf42k2.
