Let CCC be the circle in the complex plane with centre z0=12(1+3i){z}_{0}=\frac{1}{2}(1+3i)z0​=21​(1+3i) and radius r=1r=1r=1. Let z1=1+i{z}_{1}=1+iz1​=1+i and the complex number z2{z}_{2}z2​ be outside circle CCC such that ∣z1−z0∣∣z2−z0∣=1|{z}_{1}-{z}_{0}||{z}_{2}-{z}_{0}|=1∣z1​−z0​∣∣z2​−z0​∣=1. If z0,z1{z}_{0},{z}_{1}z0​,z1​ and z2{z}_{2}z2​ are collinear, then the smaller value of ∣z2∣2{|{z}_{2}|}^{2}∣z2​∣2 is equal to
