As shown in the figure, draw a circle $\mathrm { O } _ { 1 }$ centered at the origin with radius 3, and let the four points where circle $\mathrm { O } _ { 1 }$ meets the coordinate axes be $\mathrm { A } _ { 1 } ( 0,3 )$, $\mathrm { B } _ { 1 } ( - 3,0 ) , \mathrm { C } _ { 1 } ( 0 , - 3 ) , \mathrm { D } _ { 1 } ( 3,0 )$ respectively. Two circles passing through both points $\mathrm { B } _ { 1 } , \mathrm { D } _ { 1 }$ and centered at points $\mathrm { A } _ { 1 } , \mathrm { C } _ { 1 }$ respectively meet the $y$-axis inside circle $\mathrm { O } _ { 1 }$ at points $\mathrm { C } _ { 2 } , \mathrm {~A} _ { 2 }$ respectively.
Let $S _ { 1 }$ be the area of the region enclosed by arc $\mathrm { B } _ { 1 } \mathrm {~A} _ { 1 } \mathrm { D } _ { 1 }$ and arc $\mathrm { B } _ { 1 } \mathrm {~A} _ { 2 } \mathrm { D } _ { 1 }$, and let $T _ { 1 }$ be the area of the region enclosed by arc $\mathrm { B } _ { 1 } \mathrm { C } _ { 1 } \mathrm { D } _ { 1 }$ and arc $\mathrm { B } _ { 1 } \mathrm { C } _ { 2 } \mathrm { D } _ { 1 }$.
Draw circle $\mathrm { O } _ { 2 }$ with segment $\mathrm { A } _ { 2 } \mathrm { C } _ { 2 }$ as diameter, and let the two points where circle $\mathrm { O } _ { 2 }$ meets the $x$-axis be $\mathrm { B } _ { 2 } , \mathrm { D } _ { 2 }$ respectively. Two circles passing through both points $\mathrm { B } _ { 2 } , \mathrm { D } _ { 2 }$ and centered at points $\mathrm { A } _ { 2 } , \mathrm { C } _ { 2 }$ respectively meet the $y$-axis inside circle $\mathrm { O } _ { 2 }$ at points $\mathrm { C } _ { 3 } , \mathrm {~A} _ { 3 }$ respectively.
Let $S _ { 2 }$ be the area of the region enclosed by arc $\mathrm { B } _ { 2 } \mathrm {~A} _ { 2 } \mathrm { D } _ { 2 }$ and arc $\mathrm { B } _ { 2 } \mathrm {~A} _ { 3 } \mathrm { D } _ { 2 }$, and let $T _ { 2 }$ be the area of the region enclosed by arc $\mathrm { B } _ { 2 } \mathrm { C } _ { 2 } \mathrm { D } _ { 2 }$ and arc $\mathrm { B } _ { 2 } \mathrm { C } _ { 3 } \mathrm { D } _ { 2 }$.
Continuing this process, let $S _ { n }$ be the area of the region enclosed by arc $\mathrm { B } _ { n } \mathrm {~A} _ { n } \mathrm { D } _ { n }$ and arc $\mathrm { B } _ { n } \mathrm {~A} _ { n + 1 } \mathrm { D } _ { n }$ obtained in the $n$-th step, and let $T _ { n }$ be the area of the region enclosed by arc $\mathrm { B } _ { n } \mathrm { C } _ { n } \mathrm { D } _ { n }$ and arc $\mathrm { B } _ { n } \mathrm { C } _ { n + 1 } \mathrm { D } _ { n }$. What is the value of $\sum _ { n = 1 } ^ { \infty } \left( S _ { n } + T _ { n } \right)$? [4 points]
