A helium flash is a sudden start of nuclear fusion in the core of an intermediate-mass star, or on the surface of a white dwarf.

It is a naturally occurring explosion of degenerate matter.

What is Degenerate Substance?

It is that during the contraction of the star's core, the core temperature becomes higher and higher, until the outer shell expands outward, and the red giant phase begins, when the star continues to shrink due to gravity, becomes smaller and smaller, and finally becomes a degenerate substance.

The volume of this degenerate matter would be so small, but the mass would be so great that a naturally occurring explosion would be terrifying, releasing the equivalent of the entire galaxy in just a few minutes.

There is no doubt that this is a huge crisis, both for Technopolis and for ordinary people.

This helium flash directly reduced the energy of the protective shield in the Science and Technology City by 25 percent, far exceeding the attack on the crustacean spaceship just now.

It is estimated that if you come two or three more times, the science and technology city will be gone.

"Judge the danger, calculate the next helium flash time, and at the same time, start the curvature engine again to recharge!" Gu Dong said immediately.

"Okay! Charging begins!" Sixteen seemed to be speechless, and finally jumped to a good place, but there was a helium flash, she just thought that this galaxy was quite good.

Now the curvature engine has only one last jump left, and if this jump is not successful, then the danger is great.

And helium flashes ......

It's too dangerous for them to stay here at all.

Just a helium flash reduced the energy of the protective shield by 25 percent, and if it appeared again, then the science and technology city would probably not have to jump, and it would not be able to bear the risk of jumping at all.

The satellites that have just been emitted have all been detonated by the helium flash and cannot be used again, so they can only send satellites again.

At present, there are not many satellites in the science and technology city, and the remaining number is only about 100, and it is estimated that more than a dozen need to be distributed.

As satellites are distributed, a large amount of data has also been collected by Sixteen, and now Sixteen needs to judge whether the Science and Technology City is in danger?

What is the approximate time of danger?

If the time is longer, then Technopolis can stop in this galaxy for a while, and wait until enough energy has been collected before jumping.

After all, there are so many planets in this galaxy, and the resources seem to be very abundant, and Technopolis is now seriously lacking in necessary materials.

Gu Dong also thought about bringing some materials from the earth to the Science and Technology City, but with dozens of kilograms of things he went back and forth every time, it was just a drop in the bucket for the huge Science and Technology City, and it was useless at all, so it was better to look for it in the universe by himself.

Soon, Sixteen's judgment came out!

"The red giant is in the final stages and will collapse soon, with the next helium flash expected to last thirteen minutes. It's aging rapidly!"

This analysis instantly made Gu Dong speechless, unable to cry or laugh.

"Get ready to jump!" he said.

"Okay, the energy charge is complete, ready for the last jump, countdown 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, go!"

The Science and Technology City once again escaped into the wormhole, jumping faster than the speed of light, and above the Science and Technology City, there was a vast white field, and countless colored light points quickly floated by.

This jump took a long time, and it took more than twenty minutes to stop, and when the jump was over, only a thin layer of protective shield was left above the science and technology city.

"Fifteen percent of the shield energy remains. Enter a dangerous state!"

"Jump successfully, judge the galaxy ......"

"Unknown Galaxy ......"

"Didi, warning, a large number of battleship wreckage was found......"

In front of Gu Dong, a picture immediately appeared, and a lot of steel creations appeared in the picture, these steel creations looked like some kind of interstellar warships, but these battleships were all destroyed, and now only countless wrecks were left floating in the universe.

Not far away, a light blue planet and an orange star appeared.

"What kind of place is this?" Gu Dong was stunned.

"Temperature judgment: minus 195 degrees. Low temperature deep space, hazard detection ......"

Sixteen was still reporting some data, but she quickly came to the conclusion: "No danger found!"

Although she didn't find the danger, Gu Dong herself had already found the danger.

Because of the ultra-low temperature, the entire science and technology city seems to have been frozen and has become extremely cold.

Fortunately, the water in the Technopolis has evaporated a lot before, not a lot, so it has not frozen.

"What kind of place is this?" Gu Dong asked again.

"Unknown!" Sixteen said, then turned his head to Gu Dong: "The wreckage area is about half of the solar system. I guess there was some kind of war, we need to stop here, and Technopolis is no longer able to make another jump!"

Did they jump into an interstellar battlefield?

In this interstellar battlefield, there are still many unknown wreckage?

Is there a living creature nearby?

Gu Dong didn't know, but he definitely had to explore it first.

"Activate the stellar detection system to determine the threat ......"

After the last time, Sixteen seemed to be a little worried about this star, and immediately sent out a lot of satellites, and it didn't take long for the data to be transmitted back.

"The state of the star is stable!" Then she turned back to Gu Dong and smiled: "This position is too cold, we need to get closer, Gu Dong, earthling, we need to collect resources, a lot of resources, I hope there are resources we need on this planet!"

"Good!"

Gu Dong was very curious about this area, after all, the many debris outside showed that this place might be very remarkable.

Although almost all of those armors have been destroyed, judging from the specific outline, the manufacturing process is very high-end.

At present, the science and technology city needs a lot of resources.

For example, iron ore, copper ore, silver ore, etc., as well as some rare metals, rare elements, the weight of these resource demand is not a few, such as iron ore and copper ore, science and technology city needs at least one or two thousand tons.

Under Sixteen's control, Technopolis slowly flew towards the stars, but the more it flew, the more debris appeared, densely packed.

Thankfully, the wreckage was all fragments.

After flying for a while, there was even a planet in front of it, a planet that had been clearly destroyed, and the planet had been split into three pieces, covered with traces of bombing.

Upon seeing the dead planet, Sixteen immediately stopped and took a quick look.

"This is a star-destroying war!" Sixteen said with a frown, his face solemn: "This planet is probably the main star of this star, but unfortunately it has been destroyed by people!"

Gu Dong saw that around this planet, there were many small meteorites, which were estimated to have exploded after being bombed.

He immediately gasped.

"Detect if there are any living creatures!" he thought for a moment and said immediately.

"Okay! Detection begins!" Sixteen continued to drive through Technopolis before sending satellites out to detect threats around him.
