Two rays leave a point BB at an angle of 30∘30^\circ. Point C0C_0 lies on the first ray with BC0=1BC_0 = 1. From C0C_0 drop a perpendicular to the second ray, meeting it at D1D_1; from D1D_1 drop a perpendicular back to the first ray, meeting it at C1C_1; from C1C_1 drop a perpendicular to the second ray, and so on forever. Find the total length of the zigzag C0D1+D1C1+C1D2+⋯C_0D_1 + D_1C_1 + C_1D_2 + \cdots.
