Chapter 1117: The Fugitive Star
Controlling Proxima Centauri, along with 33% of the stars in this star system, has been able to allow Tang Feng to freely mobilize the dark energy within the envelope of this star system. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, this kind of control is still far from Tang Feng's requirements, in order to completely control this triple star system, the two stars of Centaur Alpha Star A and Star B must also be controlled, so that they can completely win this triple star system.
With Proxima Centauri's attempt, this made it easy for Tang Feng to control the next process. The control of star B cost Tang Feng 276 star core splits and 25 days, after all, star B is a star not much smaller than the sun, and the consumption of star core control is not much less than when he controlled the sun.
As for controlling the main star in this triple star system, that is, star A, Tang Feng consumed 372 star core splits and a full 36 days.
As the main star of the South Gate II star system, Centaur Alpha A has a mass 10% larger than that of the Sun. When you are a star in color, you will naturally consume more nucleus splits and time than when you control the Sun.
Through the control of the triple star system of the South Gate Two star system, Tang Feng also roughly figured out the consumption of the star core when it controlled the star.
If the consumption of controlling the Sun is taken as the benchmark, this number is defined as 100, then the consumption of a red dwarf star with a relatively small size and mass such as Proxima Centauri is only about 20-25. If the mass and volume of the star to be controlled are about the same size as the Sun, then the cost will be about 100. As for giants and even supergiants larger than the Sun, I'm sorry, this Tang Feng hasn't tried to control it yet, and it's still unclear how much it consumes to control these supermassive stars.
Anyway, it must be indispensable, and even whether this star core can truly conquer a supergiant star with a large enough mass, Tang Feng's heart has no bottom. After all, Old Man Andro once tried to conquer a supergiant star located in the core region of the galaxy, but as a result, all the star core splits that could be split were used, and he couldn't complete the control of this supergiant star, and he was made a disgrace.
Tang Feng never wants to draw conclusions about things that he has not experienced, that is irresponsible for himself.
However, thanks to the magical ability of the star core, when Tang Feng took control of the South Gate Two star system, counting the time it took to come here from the earth, it only took two and a half months. Compared to the time it takes to control the solar system, the control of South Gate II is undoubtedly easier.
After returning to Earth from South Gate 2, Tang Feng rested for about two months, dealt with the things he had accumulated at hand, and lived a good life with his family for a while, and then drove the Nautilus straight to space.
The target chosen by Tang this time is the Barnard star galaxy, which is the second closest to the solar system.
Barnard is a red dwarf star located just 5.96 light-years from the Solar System, making it the fourth closest star to the Sun in the whole day, after the three stars in the South Gate II galaxy.
Don't look at this star so close to Earth, but this star was discovered even a year later than Proxima Centauri. It was discovered in 1916 by the American astronomer Edward Edward. Barnard discovered. In honor of this great astronomer, the star was called Barnard's Star.
Barnard, like Proxima Centauri, is a typical red dwarf, small in size and size, only about one-sixth the diameter and volume of the Sun, not much larger than Proxima Centauri, and a red dwarf that barely exceeds the critical mass of the star needed to produce hydrogen fusion reactions.
Like Proxima Centauri, such red dwarfs, although very close to Earth, cannot be seen directly with the naked eye on Earth, and can only be found in the sky with the help of telescopes.
View of Barnard from Earth, the red dwarf is located near β Ophiuchus, northwest of 66 Ophiuchus.
This star, the fourth closest star to the solar system, is a very magical star. This "little guy" has two very significant characteristics, the first is to run fast, and the second is still to run fast!
Barnard Star has an extremely loud nickname - "The Fugitive Star". The reason why it has such a resounding nickname is because Barnard is currently the fastest star of all stars in the range of human observation.
One of the important reasons why stars are called stars is that they are almost "constant". Even though every star is moving at a breakneck speed, it's because stars are usually hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of light-years away. Even if the star moves, the relative position changes so little that it is difficult to detect, and it is usually not noticeable that it is moving during a person's lifetime.
However, if the star is closer, it is relatively easy to see the change in its position, which astronomers call "the star moving on its own".
This self-motion refers to the tangential velocity of the star perpendicular to the direction of our line of sight. That is, self-movement is tangential to the person's line of sight.
Stars also have a type of motion called radial velocity, which refers to the movement of the star in the direction of the human line of sight, which is in a straight line with the direction of the human line of sight.
Normally, the self-motion of a star is only about 1 arc second a year at most, and Barnard's self-motion is as high as 10.31 arc seconds, which is nearly twice as fast as the self-motion of the famous Ursa Major flying star. Another famous star in the day, Arcturus Major in the constellation Ursa Major, is also a star with a large self-esteem, but the self-speed of Arcturus is only 2 arc seconds per year.
As a result, Barnard's star, which runs so fast, is affectionately known as the "Fugitive Star" by Earth's astronomers.
And this star does live up to the title of "Fugitive Star". In fact, Barnard's self-velocity is already up to 90 km/s, which is almost 40% of the speed of the Sun's revolution around the galactic center. Don't forget, the Earth is also being carried by the Sun around the Silver Heart at a speed of about 245 kilometers per second, and at this speed, Barnard still has a speed of up to 90 kilometers per second with the Earth, which is already very impressive.
Moreover, this fugitive star not only has a very large speed on its own, but its gaze speed is also very terrifying. Barnard is actually approaching the solar system at a speed of 108 km/s. From Earth, Barnard's star is approaching the solar system with its little brothers at this terrifying speed.
At this rate, in nearly 8,000 years, in 11,800 AD, Barnard will be 3.85 light-years away from the Sun, replacing Proxima Centauri as the closest star to the Sun! (To be continued.) )
