Supernova explosions can only occur in stars with a mass more than eight times that of the sun. The lifespan of a star is inversely proportional to its mass, that is, the greater the mass, the shorter its lifespan. Stars with a mass more than eight times that of the sun generally have a lifespan of only a few thousand
Ten thousand years. Some super-massive stars, such as stars with a mass dozens of times that of the sun, may have a lifespan of only a few million years.
Because the greater their mass, the more they need a core to increase more energy to resist their own gravity. In this case, their nuclear fusion reaction is much more violent than that of ordinary stars, with hundreds of millions of tons of energy produced every second.
The above matter was converted into energy. Under such a violent and rapid material conversion, no matter how large their mass was, they would not be able to sustain it for too long.
A lifespan of several million years is just a blink of an eye on a cosmic scale. At the end of their lives, they will die heroically in a supernova explosion, presenting a brilliant cosmic fireworks to the entire universe.
This is the most magnificent event in the universe. The death of a star will bring conditions for the birth of life. Although this kind of star exists for a short time, it is an indispensable part of the evolution of the universe. It can be said that,
Without supernovae, without these massive stars, there would be no life in the universe, at least, there would be no human beings.
Because all elements heavier than iron in the periodic table were produced in heroic events such as supernova explosions or neutron star collisions.
In the age of the earth, all the heavy elements such as gold rings, silver bracelets, copper wires used in cables, etc. that humans wear on their fingers come from the remains of supernovae. Because stars can only fuse iron and below.
Elements. At the moment of the supernova explosion, all the elements on the periodic table were produced and thrown into the universe.
The supernova explosion gives these materials powerful kinetic energy, and they will spread into the universe and form magnificent nebulae. At some point, if the conditions are met, they will come together again. If their aggregate mass is large enough, they will
A second- or third-generation star will be formed. If the mass is not large enough, they will form rocky planets or gaseous planets. If there is a rocky planet right next to a young and healthy star, they will get the right temperature.
In the future, with the support of the rich elements that make up this planet, life may slowly develop on it...
This is how humans were born. All the elements that make up the human body and all the elements that we come into contact with daily, except for the most basic element such as hydrogen, all the remaining elements are derived from stars. Elements such as iron and below are derived from stellar fusion.
Elements above iron originate from the corpses of stars after their supernova explosions.
Not only humans, but all intelligent life forms in the universe are all children of stars. Children of stars in the true sense. Because it is stars that give us everything.
This is the entire process of a supernova explosion. It is currently known that the star to which the aging ghost family is attached is only about the same mass as the sun, and it is not qualified for a supernova explosion. Moreover, even if it is qualified, when will it happen?
How can the supernova explosion be controlled by Xiao Yu?
But Xiao Yu already has the prototype of a stellar weapon in his mind. That is, a weapon that destroys a star by causing it to explode like the Guardian civilization did.
But one thing is that Xiao Yu’s understanding of stellar weapons is still very shallow. It can even be said that he has no clue. Stellar weapons only exist in Xiao Yu’s conjecture. What Xiao Yu needs to do now is to know whether the Molian civilization
Have stellar weapons to make guesses.
After a period of deep thought, Luca 3 said: "Currently, the stellar weapons within our theoretical system can only destroy stars by triggering a supernova explosion. Supernova explosions are caused by the sudden loss of energy support inside the star, resulting in
It is caused by the outer material falling inward and impacting. Stellar weapons are also based on the same principle. There is a special kind of tachyon that does not react with low-density objects, but will be hindered by high-density objects, thus converting high-density objects
The object is annihilated. This kind of tachyon is very consistent with the concept of stellar weapons."
"Yes." Xiao Yu nodded and said: "The core density of a star with the mass of the sun will reach about 150 times that of water. This density is enough for this kind of tachyons to react with it.
After this kind of tachyon is emitted, it will penetrate the thin outer layer of the star and travel into the interior of the star. After encountering the high-density matter in the core of the star, it will be annihilated with them. We can use this method
The method is to hollow out the core area of a star, causing it to lose its core energy support, causing it to fall inward under the action of external pressure and its own gravity, thereby creating a process similar to a supernova explosion. In fact, I estimate that
The four stars of Tianyuan that were destroyed by the Guardian civilization had supernova explosions due to this mechanism."
"This is indeed a feasible solution for manufacturing stellar weapons." Luca 4 said, "But the problem we face is not just one. There are many obstacles waiting in the process of building this stellar weapon.
We have not only technical obstacles, but also scientific obstacles... Judging from our current speed of scientific and technological development, it is impossible for us to create such a weapon without more than eight hundred years."
"Yes." Luca 3 took over Luca 4's words and said: "One of the biggest obstacles is that when facing a behemoth like a star, how big of a hole does it need to be dug out of the core of the star?
Can it cause it to explode? I estimate that a negative matter cannon of at least several trillion tons is needed to achieve the goal. But... it is just an ordinary negative matter cannon. The power we can currently achieve is only 8,000 tons.
It’s only level. The gap between eight thousand tons and several trillion tons is really too huge. What’s more, the negative matter tachyons required for stellar weapons are different from ordinary negative matter tachyons.
The manufacturing process is much more difficult.”
"I know this very clearly." Xiao Yu said, "It is impossible for us to create a stellar weapon with practical significance in a short period of time. That's why I ask you to make an assessment and evaluate whether the Molian civilization has this kind of technology."
possibility. Well, in fact, I know very clearly that it is absolutely impossible for the Merian civilization to have such a weapon. I just want you to evaluate whether the Merian civilization has a specific method of manufacturing such a weapon in theory.
.”
"If they do, that would be great. They have theories and we have huge operational capabilities. We may not be able to produce this kind of weapon in fifty years."
"This is my whole idea. Now, you can evaluate it."
Xiao Yu said.
Luca 3, Luca 4, and the other three scientists fell into silence.
"Before making an assessment, I first need to make sure that even if the Merian civilization really has the method to make this weapon, how can we get them to hand over this technology to us? We are currently in a hostile relationship."
A scientist first raised objections.
"This problem will be solved by Luca II and I, as well as the scientists from the Department of Psychology and Social Science led by Luca II. As scientists from the Department of Science and Technology, you don't need to consider this issue." Xiao Yu said very simply.
"Okay... First of all, as a civilization with a deeper understanding of negative matter than us, the Merian civilization will definitely have similar ideas. Their manufacturing obstacles are the same as ours, which all lie in the development of specific technological details and material technology.
In terms of progress, we have a provincial-level spaceship of the Merian Civilization. By analyzing this provincial-level spacecraft, perhaps we can find some clues and make a clear assessment of the specific technological strength of the Merian Civilization."
"I have prepared all the materials. Take a look." Xiao Yu gestured and displayed the information about the provincial spacecraft captured from the Merian Civilization.
The conference room fell into silence. Each of these scientists took out the personal computers they carried with them and began to perform intense calculations and calculations.
"In terms of military technology, the Molian civilization is at least five hundred years more advanced than us... At this level, their material technology will probably develop to..."
"Energy technology will probably develop to..."
In the midst of intense calculations, each data evaluation conclusion was drawn.
Each of these data is more advanced than Xiao Yu's current data, but the extent of the excess is not too outrageous. From this aspect, we can also see the difficulty of technological development after reaching a relatively advanced stage of civilization.
In terms of military industry, Mo Lian's civilization is at least five hundred years more advanced than Xiao Yu, but in five hundred years of development, it has only made so little progress.
After about half an hour, Luca Three stood up.
"Based on comprehensive calculations, the probability that the Merian civilization has a preliminary manufacturing theory for stellar weapons is about 60%."
This result refreshed Xiao Yu's spirits. In fact, Xiao Yu's own evaluation conclusion was similar to this number.
"Sixty percent? This data is already high enough for us to take risks. Then... while executing the covert plan, let's launch the stellar weapons plan. Send a communication to the Merlian civilization
Instrument, get in touch with them, and then, whether we use deception or inducement, in short, let them cooperate with us. In the remaining fifty years, we will develop negative matter cannons with actual combat capabilities.
Build it!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
