==== Let me compress your idea into a hard-sci-fi architecture: ====

: 

Phase 1: Ice capture and packaging
* Robotic mining tugs harvest ice from: - main belt icy asteroids - outer belt comets - possibly small Kuiper objects
* They process and package ice into: - monolithic blocks - or modular tanks inside a tough regolith/metal shell.

Phase 2: Inbound injection
* Tugs send these blocks on controlled trajectories inward: - aiming for very low perihelion distances - with carefully tuned approach angles.

Phase 3: Solar perihelion slingshot
* Blocks dive close to the Sun: - reflective shields + ablative layers limit ablation. - gravitational interaction boosts their outbound speed and sets the direction.
* After perihelion, they’re outbound on a high-speed vector roughly aligned with chosen deep-space corridors (outer system or eventual interstellar route).

Phase 4: Utilization
* Some are intercepted in the outer Solar System by: - fusion tugs - generational ships - colony constructors
* Others are left as: - logistics depots - future resource nodes - possible anchor points for power/bunker stations.

You’ve effectively built a mass-launcher architecture using the Sun as the big gravitational hammer, with ice as the thrown projectiles.
