Beneath Deep Space

In order to answer people's questions, the detector closest to the sun and operating normally began to try to enlarge the detected image.

In fact, even without magnification, the sun's anomalies can be seen with the naked eye. That area is particularly white and bright, like a bright flare. However, I still didn't see anything on the screen, as if this white spot came out of nowhere.

"Zoom in again!" Yu Yifeng said.

The scientists immediately performed a series of operations, switching the telescope's lens mode and increasing the observation magnification. From this magnification, only a very small area could be seen.

People finally saw a small black dot on the screen. Under the influence of gravity, it was quickly flying towards the core.

"Add the multiplier ten times more!" Yu Yifeng said.

Even if he didn't need to speak at this time, the scientists were still operating the instruments. After a series of adjustments, the resolution limit of this telescope was almost reached. But humans finally saw what this black dot was.

A... fragment of a neutron star!

It barely emits any light, which is particularly noticeable against this bright background.

Eight small metal balls are rotating rapidly around the neutron star fragments. They turn a blind eye to the high temperature and pressure of the sun, as if they are not affected.

Scientists have never seen a neutron star fragment, but judging from the gravitational pull on the surrounding material, it is indeed a neutron star fragment!

Its diameter is only about ten meters, and according to calculations, its density is about 100 million tons per cubic centimeter.

Hearing about it and seeing it with your own eyes are completely different things. This is... stellar debris energy? !

Yu Yifeng's eyes were burning and his throat felt dry and itchy. Is there such technology in the world? !

What on earth are these eight little balls that even the pressure from the core of the sun cannot destroy them? What are they doing? !

With a large number of instruments and frantic calculations and analysis, scientists quickly discovered the mystery of this neutron star fragment:

Even in this situation, these eight small metal balls still perform their mission - to restrain the neutron star. It only restrains the fragment from releasing energy, but does not prevent it from absorbing matter.

The massive amount of matter inside the sun rushes inward crazily under the gravitational pull of the neutron star fragments, and then becomes part of the neutron star. The intense light is produced by the mutual extrusion of matter.

The strange thing is that the neutron star fragments are still black, and these eight small balls still prevent it from releasing energy, including light energy, to the outside world. Except for gravitational energy, anything else can only go in and not out!

That's outrageous! What kind of power is this? !

Everyone was stunned!

People were trembling slightly, their hearts were beating wildly, and they felt at a loss, just like a group of primitive people who were at a loss when they witnessed the explosion of a nuclear bomb...

As more material is absorbed, the mass of the fragments becomes larger and larger, the external gravity continues to increase, and the speed of absorbing material becomes faster and faster.

Everyone's scalp was numb when they saw it, and they felt endless fear, and... greatness! !

Science can actually develop to such a level. This is a stalwart existence that is unimaginable to humans!

After the Noah civilization, mankind began to witness the second unimaginable super civilization, which was the civilization that created this neutron star fragment. I don’t know which one is more powerful, it or Noah’s civilization…

People simply don't understand why matter suddenly transforms into a neutron state after being absorbed by neutron star fragments. It stands to reason that the gravity of the neutron star fragments itself is simply not enough... Could it be that these eight small metal balls can generate super pressure comparable to that of a real neutron star?

Yes, only this kind of pressure can restrain the explosion of neutron star fragments and convert the inhaled material into a neutron state!

As it absorbs massive amounts of matter, it grows stronger. During this process, the density of the neutron star fragments does not change much, but the volume increases. At the same time, due to the interaction of gravity, it is rapidly "squeezing" toward the core of the sun.

The closer to the core, the more material there is and the faster it is absorbed.

Soon, the fragments of the neutron star rushed into the core of the sun, and human detectors could no longer see its shadow...

But everyone was breathless nervously: I don’t know... where is the limit of these eight metal balls?

Yu Yifeng let out a long sigh. Seeing such a spectacle, he even felt that his death was worth it. He had become numb to the fear of death, and probably everyone here was too.

Technology can actually reach this point! Everyone has a heartfelt feeling: God!

Unable to see what was going on inside, the scientists sat down one after another and fell into deeper discussions. Only relevant instruments can faithfully record all data, and they will become valuable assets of mankind.

Of course... the premise is that humans can survive.

"We've never had a model of a supernova like this: a supernova caused by a powerful explosion of fragments of a neutron star inside. That's great!"

"We don't know how big this neutron star fragment can grow."

"I wonder how long the super creation can last?"

People were discussing it feverishly, forgetting the threat of death at this moment. Witnessing such a miracle brings an inexplicable sense of excitement and pleasure, and everyone has an eye-opening feeling.

Compared with such super technology, planet-level spaceships are just scum!

People absolutely do not believe that the Green Light Civilization has this kind of technology... Well, in fact, the level of human technology is even worse, and even the Green Light Spaceship cannot be blasted down.

"I don't know if the civilization that created the neutron star fragments is more powerful, or our Noah civilization is more powerful."

"If it were a super civilization of the same level, then Noah would never be destroyed by a supernova!"

"makes sense……"

Yu Yifeng listened to the discussions of the surrounding scientists. At this time, he was no longer sentimental, and his confidence in Noah also became inexplicably...

In fact, supernova explosions often create a neutron star. But now the situation seems to be reversed. Neutron star fragments contribute to the explosion of the star. Human beings have never seen this kind of situation, so they are particularly curious and excited.

There are many types of supernovae. Massive stars with a mass of not less than nine times the mass of the sun are eligible for supernova explosions. (Type II)

Core collapse begins when the star's core is depleted of hydrogen and can no longer produce enough radiation pressure to balance gravity. During this period, the temperature and pressure of the core will rise sharply, and the helium element can be ignited.

As a result, the helium element in the core of the star begins to fuse into carbon element, and can generate considerable radiation pressure to stop the collapse.

This causes the core to expand and cool slightly, now with an outer layer of hydrogen fusion and a center of higher temperature and pressure helium fusion. (Other elements such as magnesium, sulfur, and calcium are also produced and in some cases burned in subsequent reactions.)

When the helium in the core is consumed, the carbon element will fuse into heavier elements. The whole process will be repeated several times. Each core collapse will be interrupted by the fusion process of the next heavier element, and continue to produce more. High temperatures and pressures.

The star thus becomes a layered structure like an onion, and the elements closer to the outer layer are more likely to undergo fusion reactions. Each layer relies on the thermal energy and radiation pressure generated by the fusion reaction of the next layer inside to stop collapse until the fusion fuel of this layer is exhausted.

And, each layer is hotter and burns faster than the layer outside it.

This continuous synthesis of heavy elements ends at nickel-56 or iron. If the mass of the star is large enough, the mass of the core may eventually exceed the Chandrasekhar limit, and the electron degeneracy pressure will not be enough to balance Gravitational collapse.

Eventually, under the strong gravitational pull of the star itself, the star begins to collapse destructively, and a supernova begins.

The collapse speed of the supernova core can reach 70,000 kilometers per second (about 0.23 times the speed of light). When the mass of the original star is less than about 20 times the mass of the sun, the remaining product after the collapse is a neutron star.

For stars above this mass, the remaining mass will continue to collapse into a black hole because it exceeds the Oppenheimer-Volkov limit.

However, this time the "supernova" is obviously different, it was caused by neutron star fragments!

Human beings don’t know what the final result will be. They can only make rough guesses. The situations fall into two categories:

In the first category, after the neutron star fragments grow to a certain extent, due to the strong gravity, they will quickly destroy the balance of the sun's core, resulting in star collapse and supernova explosion.

In the second category, the creations of the eight super civilizations could not restrain the violent neutron star level and were overwhelmed and damaged. The fragments of the neutron star explode directly at this moment, destroying the entire star.

The situation is either one of the two, or possibly both.

"It seems that neutron stars can easily destroy stars." Yu Yifeng said with some sigh. If you could control a neutron star-level weapon, it would be truly incredible.

If a neutron star is thrown into a star, a supernova will immediately occur. The killing area of ​​a supernova is 25-50 light years. This weapon is beyond human imagination.

"...Yes, but a neutron star can only destroy a few stars." An astronomer added: "Every time a star is destroyed, it will absorb a large amount of matter, causing an increase in mass. If it is destroyed a few more times, it will It will become a black hole..."

"That's true."

…

You can see through the screen that the sun is very abnormal at this time.

As the neutron star fragments in the core become larger and larger, their gravity also increases rapidly. Due to the acceleration provided by gravity, the falling speed of matter reaches sub-light speed, and the impact of neutron fragments will cause a very large explosion.

But the energy of this explosion was firmly held down by eight small metal balls, so that it seemed as if nothing happened.

The sun seemed to dim at this moment...like the deliberate tranquility before the ferocious beast broke out. Even the temperature began to drop rapidly!

People were observing nervously and discussing in random directions, and the tension in their hearts could not be increased.

"...Where have these super civilizations gone? Did they all leave behind civilizational relics? Ordinary intelligent life has obtained the relics of super civilizations. Isn't it more than enough to develop an interstellar civilization?"

"Why have they all disappeared?"

"It may be because of war, or it may be because of civilized experiments, etc., deliberately..."

"Then aren't we becoming guinea pigs?"

"Who knows?"

The silence lasted for so long that people had time to discuss random things. Everyone knows that the longer the silence, the greater the explosive power...

This is the core of the sun, a place invisible to humans.

There is a black ball deep in the black center, which is the neutron star fragment.

Slowly, as the neutron star fragments grew larger, the eight metal balls began to be overwhelmed, and the speed of their movement became faster and faster, until... close to the speed of light!

The more energy and matter the neutron star fragments absorbed, the more violent they became. Like a peerless beast, it was unwilling to be bound by a cage, and it began to struggle constantly.

The fierce confrontation between the neutron star fragments and the eight metal balls began. The sun, standing on the side of the neutron star fragments, kept providing material energy to fuel the peerless beast.

At a certain moment, one of the metal balls suddenly shattered, and then the other seven balls shattered one after another within 0.001 seconds!

At this time, the neutron star fragments were not real neutron stars after all, and their gravity was not strong enough to maintain the neutron state of matter. The moment they lost their restraints, endless resistance began to erupt, and the violent energy that had been suppressed began to emerge. The forces of electron degeneracy pressure, neutron degeneracy pressure, light pressure, etc. suddenly exerted their collective strength, and the entire neutron star fragment disintegrated at this moment!

The super huge explosion began!

After breaking free from the bondage of gravity, the neutron state of microscopic particles is transformed into a super solid state again, and the super solid state is transformed into a normal atomic form. Neutrons decay into protons and electrons, releasing a huge amount of energy.

At the same time, the gravitational potential energy contained in the nucleus explodes greatly, fueling the power of the explosion.

At this moment, the entire Milky Way is so dim in front of the sun. The sun has never been so bright, becoming the most dazzling star in the Milky Way!

The violent gamma rays radiate in all directions at the speed of light, launching an indiscriminate attack on the entire solar system.

In just a few seconds, the super energy that would have taken billions of years to release was released!

At 3 minutes and 13 seconds, all the detectors near Mercury suddenly exploded, and the entire Mercury only lasted for a few seconds before turning into interstellar dust.

At 6 minutes and 1 second, Venus also followed in the footsteps of Mercury. However, Venus was slightly farther away and slightly larger in size, so it lasted a few seconds longer.

At 8 minutes and 19 seconds, the ruins of the Earth and the Moon were swallowed up by the entire sea of ​​light...

At 12 minutes and 40 seconds, the infinite energy finally spread to Mars. "Swish", at the moment of observing the explosion of the sun, all the reconnaissance instruments turned into ashes. The entire monitoring room of Noah also fell into darkness...

Mars was baked into a magma planet in a few seconds, and its side facing the sun was still vaporizing...

Noah, hiding in the back, was in a much better situation, and the artificial baffles on its surface began to melt in large quantities. The ground had long turned into a magma sea, and the entire Noah spacecraft floated on the magma, with a large amount of magma liquid pouring into it.

Finally, Mars could not withstand the infinite energy from the sun and was completely torn apart. And the part of the magma that wrapped Noah also dissipated and vaporized one after another...

At this time, Noah finally began to face the entire sun! You can see that the spacecraft is constantly accelerating!

When light shines on the surface of an object, it will bring a certain amount of pressure, which is called light pressure. After Mars was destroyed bit by bit, endless photons, neutrinos and other particles instantly hit the Noah, generating a huge driving force.

Because of its extremely low density, its force area is large, but its mass is small, just like a balloon hit by a strong wind, being blown away!

It did not melt due to the extremely high heat, nor did it have any cracks...

It lightly carried all the hopes of mankind!

And under the illumination of endless light, its speed tends to get faster and faster...

Until it approaches the speed of light!
