Chapter 270 Flow velocity difference

"The total energy in the remaining lifespan..."

It suddenly dawned on me during the summer night that a star is essentially a ball of plasma that is gathered together, and it is mainly composed of hydrogen and helium. Therefore, it can also be said that it is a ball of nuclear fusion fuel that is "slowly" and continuously burning.

Under normal circumstances, this ball of fuel can burn for billions of years, and gradually release energy during the process of fusion of light elements into heavy elements; but now, if according to Xiu Ji, all the energy contained in it can be used up in one breath Trigger - Just imagine it, and you know that it will be a very terrifying magnitude.

But questions also arise:

"Are you planning to detonate this star?" She paused and then added:

"I mean... this spacecraft can detonate a star and at the same time collect the energy of the explosion and transmit it to my head? Although I have never detonated a star..."

"No, you have exploded, often..."

"what?"

"Nothing, just kidding, go on." Xiu Ji smiled and motioned for Xia Ye to continue.

"Ahem... Although I have never seen a star explode, I can imagine that the power must be very terrifying. Is this ship really that strong?"

"No, and even if it were that strong, collecting the energy from the explosion would be difficult and most of the energy would be wasted."

"so……?"

"So the actual approach is to speed up the time flow in the small area where the star and the spacecraft are located, so that the star can complete its remaining life in a very short time, although the spacecraft still collects energy from the planet's surface like an ordinary Dyson sphere. , but due to the difference in time flow rates inside and outside the area, the energy density input into your head per unit time will be greatly increased, and the multiple of the increase is proportional to the difference in time flow rates."

"..."

Xia Ye was stunned for a while before finally understanding the meaning of Xiu Ji's words: "Then... what is the difference in the flow rate of time?"

"This can be an unimaginably large value - it depends on how short a time you want to use up the energy." Xiu Ji said with a smile, "As for Sir Xia Ye's current situation, I said, I don't It takes too long to restrain your sister, so we try to finish it within half an hour."

"What is the remaining life of this star?"

"This is an old star. I estimate that it has less than 20 billion years left."

Two billion years, compressed to half an hour, then the flow rate difference of time must reach...

Xia Ye made a quick estimate in her mind and quickly got the answer:

"40 trillion times?!"

"Yeah, almost." Xiu Ji nodded lightly.

"How on earth is such a huge flow velocity difference achieved?" Xia Ye asked in surprise, "Moreover, doesn't warping time itself consume energy?"

"To be honest, I don't know either." Xiu Ji smiled and spread her hands, "This is their most advanced technology. After eating them, although I gained all their knowledge, knowing it does not mean that I can understand it. Probably I'm so stupid that I still don't understand the principle.

"But the source of the energy required to distort time is surprisingly simple - it comes from the energy collected by the Dyson sphere from the surface of the star, and a large part of it will be used to distort time. In other words, what can really be transported into you The energy in the brain is not as much as imagined, but because the multiple gain brought about by the difference in time flow rate is more considerable, the energy output per unit time is completely enough to activate your brain."

"All right……"

Although Xia Ye still has many questions, as Xiu Ji said, the city lord may come to her again at any time. She cannot waste time asking questions and must activate that big head as soon as possible.

If her guess is correct, this head is the key to reversing the current situation.

"Then let's start now?"

"Xiu Ji can do it at any time~" Xiu Ji said with a smile, "However, we need Sir Xia Ye to let the big head rise here now. The energy derived from the star later will be too great. If there is a slight overflow, it will It may destroy your city." "But...I can't control it at all now."

"Relax the connection that binds it, and it will float up on its own... it should."

Xia Ye cast her mind downwards, trying to loosen the translucent silk thread connecting the big head. As Xiu Ji said, it was really like a balloon, slowly floating towards the crack. The closer it got to the crack, the smaller its size became. It got bigger and bigger, and when it passed through the crack, it got stuck there. Until Xiuji stretched the width of the crack slightly outward, it finally flew into space unsteadily.

At this time, its diameter had exceeded 20 meters, but it continued to grow. When it came to the two of them, its diameter had exceeded 200 meters. Xia Ye looked at this asteroid-like head with a shocked expression. It passed by him and flew in the direction of the star.

"Is this position okay now?"

"Sir Xia Ye, you can let it fly for a while."

So she followed Xiu Ji's words and didn't hurry to tighten the thread. Xia Ye stared at her head for a while and finally discovered the pattern: "Is it because it is getting closer to the star, so it is getting closer and closer?" Bigger?”

"That's understandable." Xiu Ji replied.

"But why is it attracted to stars?"

"Sir Xia Ye can simply understand it as universal gravity."

"..."

Xia Ye felt that Xiu Ji was not telling the truth, but she did not continue to ask. In the distance, her head had reached an incalculable size. The diameter might have reached 5 kilometers or even 10 kilometers?

Under the influence of "gravity", the head moved towards the star at an increasingly faster speed. When it flew to the location of the previous spaceship, Xiu Ji finally spoke:

"This distance is almost there, let it stop."

Xia Ye immediately tightened the thread. Although her head was as big as a planet at this time, she didn't feel any dragging feeling, and her head didn't have any inertia. She stopped almost immediately, as easily as if she was holding it in her hand. Balloon about to fly away.

"Why can I pull it so easily?"

"Because the connection between Sir Xia Ye and her own head is very powerful~" Xiuji smiled and said an answer that was almost nonsense.

It seems that this is something that cannot be disclosed, Xia Ye thought to himself.

"We can start now~"

Xiu Ji snapped her fingers, and dots of emerald green fluorescence appeared one after another on the Dyson sphere surrounding the star. These light spots dragged out long tails and moved quickly along the black grid, just like a column of stars running at high speed in orbit. train. After a while, Xia Ye was surprised to find that the tongues of fire on the star's surface were shaking faster.

And it was getting faster and faster. Soon, she could no longer see the details of the star's surface clearly. Occasionally, a prominence would rise, but it would disappear instantly in a blurry afterimage. The whole scene was like a fast-forwarded movie. picture.

"It's starting to accelerate," Xiu Ji said, "but it will take a while for the flow rate to reach the target value."

Xia Ye didn't wait too long, and soon she discovered that the color of the star began to change. The surface that was bright yellow a moment ago had now turned orange, and it was getting closer and closer to red.

"It's changing color!"

"Of course, stars become redder and redder as their lifetimes increase. Now every second, thousands of years of life are passing away on it."

Xiu Ji paused for a moment, and finally said: "The flow rate difference has reached the target value, and activation can begin, Sir Xia Ye~"

As soon as he finished speaking, a blazing beam of light burst out from the tail of the spacecraft, shooting towards the planet-like head, accurately hitting the center of its forehead.
