This is the Tarantula Nebula, one of the gathering places of the most extreme stars. The sun, which was worshiped as a god by ancient humans and gave light and warmth to all living things on the earth, is so powerful that it is beyond words. If placed here, it would only
It will be an inconspicuous little glass ball.
Here, stars with a mass of more than 100 times that of the sun can be seen everywhere, and huge blue supergiants are everywhere. The most extreme star among them has a mass of more than 260 times that of the sun. It is the largest star in the entire Tarantula Nebula.
, the most massive star in the universe. As early as when humans on earth still existed, humans had already observed it and given it a number, R136A1. It is the most massive star in the entire visible universe that humans can see.
The most massive star. Even now, Xiao Yu, who has a long distance spanning hundreds of thousands of light-years, has not found a star larger than this star.
Too strong visible light radiation caused all of Xiao Yu's optical observation instruments to fail. Xiao Yu could only observe this place through other detection methods. Through a composite image, Xiao Yu looked at the big guy r136a1 and couldn't help but start thinking in his heart.
She sighed: "It's really too powerful, it's really so beautiful..."
R136a1 is the undoubted king of stars. It is impossible for such a huge star to be finally formed through conventional nebula collapse. In the theory of stellar evolution, the mechanism of nebulae converging and eventually forming stars can only form one at most.
A star with a mass of one hundred and twenty times that of the sun. Because a star will have a very strong stellar wind in the early stages of its formation, and the stellar wind will blow away the dust surrounding itself and prevent them from continuing to converge on itself. R136a1 is formed through many different stars
It was formed after collision and fusion.
Xiao Yu has simulated the fusion process of two stars in the model. In the virtual animation, the two stars are orbiting each other. The mutual gravity causes both stars to deform and become ellipses.
.As the distance continues to get closer, eventually, the smaller star is pulled out of a material belt by the larger star. The material of the small star begins to pass through this material belt, and is continuously transported to the big star.
Above. This process progressed very quickly. In a very short astronomical time, the small star disappeared and was swallowed whole by the big star. The size of the big star expanded like an inflated balloon.
A circle, and at the same time, the color also changed to a certain extent.
Xiao Yu believes that r136a1 is likely to be the product of the fusion of five or more huge stars. According to the principle that the greater the mass of a star, the shorter its age, Xiao Yu knows that the lifespan of r136a1 cannot exceed 10 million years. In a very long time
Within a short astronomical scale, r136a1 will end its life with the most powerful explosion. It is estimated that even if the solar system is nearly 200,000 light-years away from it, from the perspective of the solar system, r136a1 is still
It will have a brightness close to that of the moon.
Because this is the most heroic way of death of a star, a photodisintegration supernova. After this form of supernova explosion, nothing will be left in the core of the star, no white dwarf, no neutron star, no black hole. All the mass that makes up it will be
Completely thrown into space.
After quietly observing the scene in the Tarantula Nebula and collecting a certain amount of information, Xiao Yu started his work. Scientists from the Academy of Materials Science told Xiao Yu that the microscopic particle polymerization materials necessary to construct star-class battleships are very rare.
It may be formed in the process of star aggregation, and r136a1 is ejecting huge amounts of material all the time. Therefore, it is very necessary to collect the material ejected by r136a1.
Xiao Yu released a large number of collection equipment and began to collect matter in this world of light and ocean of light. These collection instruments are similar to a large net, very thin, but with a large surface area. This structure, in normal times,
There is no problem, but in this ocean of light, there are some problems.
Because here, the radiation pressure of light is so strong that it forms a force similar to that of wind. If corresponding pushing equipment were not installed on these collection devices, the light pressure alone would be enough to push these collection devices away.
The device blew away.
Xiao Yu spent a month collecting about one hundred tons of material ejected by r136a1. Xiao Yu put these materials into the Academy of Materials Science and analyzed the materials together with scientists from the Academy of Materials Science.
A month passed again. Looking at the ten grams of strange substances separated from the one hundred tons of substances, Xiao Yu's heart was filled with joy.
These ten grams of matter are not ordinary things. They do not belong to any element or have any elemental structure. They do not have an atomic nucleus composed of protons and neutrons, and electrons do not revolve around the atomic nucleus. They are just pure aggregates of microscopic particles.
It is this weird structure that gives them unimaginable material properties. Even hydrogen atom polymerization materials cannot compare with it. Only this kind of material is qualified to construct the most powerful star-class battleship.
"This material will be generated during the stellar fusion reaction. This speculation has been confirmed. Next, we will conduct detailed observations of r136a1 to determine the mechanism that produces this material..." Xiao Yu said, and once again turned to
R136a1 approaches and releases a large number of observation instruments. These observation instruments are all made of the flesh and blood of crocodile animals. They can reach places very close to the star R136a1 to conduct the most intuitive observations of it. This kind of observation instrument, Xiao
Yu produced tens of millions of them in total.
A large amount of observation data began to be transmitted back to Xiao Yu's mind, and Xiao Yu was carefully observing this king among stars from all aspects. But it was beyond Xiao Yu's expectation that the first breakthrough was not the aggregation of microscopic particles.
The material manufacturing technology is about the ghost tribe's non-destructive control of the corpse of the MSI civilization.
That was the fifth year after Xiao Yu started researching r136a1. The data about r136a1 is public within the Shenzhou civilization, and any scientist can freely query this information. In this case, led by Xu Junpo
Naturally, the scientific research team he leads can also see these materials.
"I think we have found a way for the ghost tribe to control the corpse of MSI civilization without any damage." Xu Junpo reported to Xiao Yu, "During the process of observing r136a1, in the extreme physical environment, we discovered
A kind of special energy. Through the irradiation of this special energy, we found that imperfect life can also have certain characteristics of perfect life for a short time. We started research based on this and finally found that this special energy also has the characteristics of perfect life.
The ability to restore the damaged vitality of the ghost clan. Yes, although I don’t know the specific principle of this mechanism, it does have such an ability."
In fact, Xiao Yu has known about these research results for a long time, but for some reasons, Xiao Yu hid some of the things he knew. Because Xiao Yu did not want these scientists to think that he knew everything, and he did not want the scientists to think that he knew everything.
You know, you know everything about them.
When he first got this result, Xiao Yu had some inexplicable worries in his heart. Because Xiao Yu discovered that if this energy can really smooth out the difference between imperfect life and perfect life, then theoretically speaking, it has
The dead Vicky can also have the same abilities as himself, which means that the sweeper civilization has also created something similar to his own form of existence. This is very disadvantageous for Xiao Yu.
But Xiao Yu soon discovered that he didn't actually need to worry, because this energy had certain limitations. For imperfect lives, this energy could only bring short-term gains, and would have no effect over time. And for imperfect lives, it would have no effect after a long time.
For the ghost tribe, or speaking for themselves, there is no limit to the use of this energy, but it can be used multiple times. However, this energy can only restore the ghost tribe's damaged vitality to its original state, but cannot improve its vitality.
The upper limit of vitality.
"For the ghost tribe, vitality is combat power. If this kind of energy can increase the upper limit of the ghost tribe's vitality, then it is too unnatural. Well, it can allow the ghost to control the corpse of the MSI civilization without any damage. This is already
Enough." Xiao Yu thought excitedly, "Xu Junpo is indeed a genius. He has outstanding scientific thinking and scientific intuition. It is certain that without him, any other scientists, including me, would not be able to do it.
It is impossible to discover this magical energy from the radiant energy of this star."
"Very good, I have obtained the relevant research information. On behalf of the entire Shenzhou civilization, I would like to thank you for your outstanding contributions to civilization." Xiao Yu said, "I will take over the follow-up research on how to create this special energy.
Let me handle the research that has been generated. You have worked hard for such a long time, so you can take a rest. Well, by the way, I have recently developed several new tourist attractions according to your aesthetics. The spaceship is ready. Do you want it?
Want to take a look?"
Xu Junpo rubbed his thinking organ tiredly and said, "It's good to relax for a while. But let me rest for a few days first."
"Okay, within our Shenzhou civilization, you can do whatever you want, and I can satisfy any request you have." Xiao Yu said.
From this moment on, Xu Junpo's status in Xiao Yu's mind has surpassed outstanding scientists such as Luca No. 2 and No. 3, and has been promoted to the first place.
"Ghost, from now on, you can freely manipulate the corpse of MSI civilization, and you no longer have to worry about the problem of damage to vitality... Our Shenzhou civilization finally fully possesses the corpse of MSI civilization, a big killer..."
