Chapter 268: Miracle Life, Consciousness in the Stars
This is a very large red giant star, with a diameter of more than 20 million kilometers alone, and you must know that the diameter of the sun in reality is between 1.3 million and 1.4 million kilometers, which means that this wandering star is more than 10 times the diameter of the sun.
At a distance of about a few thousand astronomical units from the red giant, there is a huge galaxy that seems to be gravitationally captured by the galactic gravitational pull, or rather attracted to each other, and the two are slowly approaching.
"It's kind of interesting!"
It can be said to be an extremely rare scene, Fang Ning became interested, and the spacecraft turned around and flew in the direction of the red giant star.
As he got closer, he noticed that there were many comets and meteorites orbiting the red giant around the wandering star system, including an asteroid about two or three thousand kilometers in diameter, thus forming a small star system.
As the wandering red giant slowly approached the star system, the gravitational fields of the two stars began to interfere with each other, and the Oort cloud disk at the edge of the huge star system in the distance began to deform.
It's like an elastic mask that has been bitten by someone and gently sucked on the edges.
This is a very valuable research phenomenon, and Fang Ning found that if he observes the picture of this wandering star devouring this galaxy, he can get considerable contribution points and permissions.
It's just that he didn't have that long.
Although the speed of wandering stars in the universe is very fast, more than ten kilometers per second, the distance between the two sides is too far, and it will take thousands of years to make a complete observation, how can he have so much time to wait.
Smacking his lips a little regretfully, Fang Ning asked the returnee to get closer, ready to take some photos nearby and leave.
However, when the Returnee approached the red giant, about an astronomical unit away, he suddenly sensed a strange signal coming from the red giant.
The signal was weak, one came out every once in a long time, and he didn't pay attention at first until he got close to the red giant star around him to take a picture.
This made Fang Ning interested, and immediately assigned his subordinates to study the source and direction of this signal, and at the same time asked the returners to prepare to enter the interior of the star for a field trip.
As a god-level civilization research ship, the Returner can enter even the extreme environment of a black hole, not to mention the star, which sinks into the rolling flames after a slight pause on the surface of the wave-like star.
Red giants are generally the stage when the star burns until old age, and at this time the heat emitted by the star is much less than before, after lasting millions or even hundreds of millions of years, the internal energy of the star is not enough to resist its own gravity, and the star will shrink sharply, forming various dwarf stars or neutron stars according to the mass of the star, and if the mass is large enough, it will collapse into a black hole.
At this stage, the heat emitted by the star is insufficient, but the interior is extremely unstable, and the returner sinks into the interior of the star, and can clearly feel the undercurrent inside, and from time to time there is a turbulent energy undercurrent surging in, and the internal fusion of the star is also very intense.
The spacecraft continues to collect observed data, gradually descending.
100,000 kilometers, 200,000 kilometers, 500,000 kilometers, and even millions of kilometers deep.
Normally, this is the core of an ordinary star, for example, the diameter of the sun is more than 1.3 million kilometers, but for this red giant star with a diameter of more than 20 million kilometers, it is only the outer layer.
At this point, the signals are a little clearer than before, but they still seem far apart.
The ship continued down, a million kilometers, two million kilometers.
At this point, the temperature inside the star has reached the point of super terrifying, but the returner is still not affected in any way, and a layer of force field on its surface can directly cut off its terrifying high temperature, for the returnee, the high temperature of the star is not as high as the damage caused by the impact of a meteorite.
Until the spacecraft sank to the interior of the star for about six or seven million kilometers, it could not go down, and a layer of invisible force field was cut off, and the returner could not continue to go down, and the invisible signal came from it.
"That's interesting."
This force field is obviously not naturally formed, and it is interesting to see an unnatural force field inside a star.
The force field was composed of pure energy, and its strength was very, very high, even the Returner couldn't get through it for a while, but it couldn't defeat Fang Ning.
He stretched out his finger and pointed down at the dot in front of him, and the next second he felt the entire star shake violently, and then a wave of angry will poured out from under the star's internal power like a tidal wave, hitting him hard.
"Buzz!"
From the outside, it seemed that the entire red giant star suddenly shook violently, and the rolling ion waves on the surface set off fierce waves like a tsunami, and one after another flames exploded into the void tens of millions of kilometers away.
The Returner rushed out of the star with an undercurrent, stopping in the void tens of millions of kilometers away from the star, Fang Ning in the bridge looked at a vague face formed by the endless waves slowly surging on the huge red giant star below, and couldn't help but spit out:
"I'll go, and this kind of lifeform?"
He didn't expect that there was a star hidden in this red giant star that gave birth to life, or rather, a star that gave birth to self-consciousness and lived.
He knew that the world was so big that there were no surprises, but it was the first time he had seen such a strange place.
Even if there is no such record in the universe in the palm of the hand, the origin of the previous generation of the universe in the palm has not seen this kind of life form.
However, after thinking about it, this life form is quite similar to the Origin Cultivation Clan, but the Origin Tribesmen are nurture, and this is the consciousness of the stellar innate cultivation, and the two have something in common.
Rubbing his chin with his hand and looking at the angry face on the surface of the red giant star below, Fang Ning rubbed his chin and thought about it, what should I do with this stellar consciousness body?
It would be a pity to turn a blind eye to such a rare lifeform, and at this moment, several thoughts had already arisen in his mind.
Killing is the worst way, and the best way is to take advantage of it.
As for how to use it......
He remembered that the Origin people were also bred from the stars, and they were very similar to this stellar lifeform, could they communicate?
If he wants to do it, he uploaded the information that the Returnee had just collected into the matrix, and in an instant all the Origin Clansmen knew the news, and soon Fang Ning received a response from thousands of Clansmen who were interested, and one of them was in the subspace very close to this, and was rushing over.
Two days later, the hundreds of millions of kilometers of the huge red giant star's void suddenly rippled, and the void quickly arched, like a person standing up with a layer of elastic membrane, forming a humanoid silhouette up to a million kilometers.
The drastic change immediately attracted the attention of the lifeforms inside the red giant, and huge faces appeared on the surface of the red giant star, looking into the void.
When the huge humanoid silhouette was drilled out of the subspace, the transparent humanoid silhouette quickly turned red, and it spewed out infinite flames and turned into a burning man that reached the sky and the earth.
At the moment when the Origin Clan appeared, Fang Ning clearly sensed the violent fluctuations in the spirit of the life form within the Red Giant, and a spirit that was relatively much softer was connected to the Origin Clansmen, as the holder of the Origin Ultimate Matrix, Fang Ning's will was synchronized with this Origin Clansman at this moment, and he also received the spiritual fluctuations of the Red Giant.
"Are you one of my kind?"
This spiritual fluctuation is definitely incomprehensible to ordinary lifeforms, but a super-god-level civilization individual like them, even if they hear it for the first time, they can understand any language in the world, not to mention that this is still direct spiritual contact.
Apparently, the Originators who emerged from the stars were considered by this organism to be beings born from the stars like themselves.
Strictly speaking, this is indeed the case, after all, they are all born from stars, and the birth of every Origin Clan consumes one star, only one is born and the other is nurture.
The life form in this red giant star does not know how long it has been born, this time is estimated to be hundreds of millions of years, and he has never seen the same kind in such a long time, and now when he sees a similar kind, the excitement is not increased, and the relationship between him and this Shi clan has grown rapidly at this moment.
This Origin Clan, codenamed 58, is also very curious about this stellar lifeform, after all, there is very little in this universe that a super-god-level civilization has not seen, and it is rare to see one, so it has to be coaxed carefully.
From their conversations, Fang Ning learned that the consciousness of this star was born more than two billion years ago, when it was the main sequence star of a binary star system, and formed a common binary star with another star.
But one day, two powerful civilizations fought a terrible battle in this galaxy, and one of them used a superweapon to extract all the energy of the other star and defeat the opponent.
Later, the victorious civilization left, but the energy of one of the stars in this binary star system was drained, and the mass was greatly reduced, causing a gravitational imbalance.
The end result is that after thousands of years of two stars circling back and forth with each other's attraction, the weakened star finally can't resist the massive mass of the main sequence star and gradually approaches, and the gravitational imbalance during a close orbital contact, and the low-mass star crashes into the massive star.
The end result is that the massive star absorbs all the mass of the smaller star, and this consciousness is born when two stars devour each other.
This is an extremely rare accident, because it is not unusual in the universe for stars to devour stars, and theoretically black holes are also variants of stars, and the universe is so large, there are many such cases, but why don't other stars devour stars and become self-conscious?
No one knew the specific reason, and even if Fang Ning obtained all the knowledge of the entire Origin Civilization, he would not be able to explain this phenomenon.
This phenomenon has never been found in the hundreds of millions of years of civilization of the previous generation of origin civilizations.
After the birth of self-consciousness, after hundreds of millions of years, this consciousness gradually grew, and finally completely controlled this star, and then, controlled the gravitational contraction of the star, broke through the shackles of the star system, left the original star system and entered the vast void, becoming a wandering star, which has been more than two billion years away.
In the past two billion years, the red giant star has undergone several years of aging, and in order to survive, it has repeatedly searched for other star systems, broken into the galaxy system, and captured the star in the center of the galaxy to devour.
Just like a vampire, when they grow old, they devour the energy of other stars to survive.
During this time, he wandered in the void, constantly searching for possible information of the same kind, but never found it, and any star he came across was just a star, none of which was self-conscious, not even a trace.
After more than two billion years, when He thought there was no other kind in this universe, the Origin people came.
At this moment, He was very excited.
Although he is powerful, he has too little knowledge, and although he has lived for two billion years, he basically roams in the void, and he has not seen a few lives, let alone any high-tech.
In addition to the essence of the soul, the Origin people are almost exactly the same as the stellar lifeforms, and in the eyes of this stellar lifeform, they are the same kind that have survived for an unknown number of billions of years, have evolved perfectly, and have been freed from the shackles of the stars.
For this, Fang Ning had two thoughts.
One is to fool Him into the palm of his hand and become the guardian of the universe.
Another idea is to send a static streamer and transform it into a full-fledged Originist.
Of course, the premise of these two ideas is to be able to fool him to a limp, and now through the connection between the matrices, this simple stellar lifeform has already regarded this Origin people as its own kind, and the probability of fooling is quite high.
Fang Ning didn't have any personal inclinations, whether he was flickering into a guardian or transforming into a clansman.
Until then, the same people must continue to fool.... cough, it's a relationship, and by the way, occasionally penetrate the bottom, so that he can be mentally prepared at that time, and it won't be too sudden.
It is estimated that it will take a long time to communicate, but he is not in a hurry, let this clansman accompany him first, and when he is ready, he can transform at any time.
Fang Ning didn't stay here long before continuing on the road, anyway, the clansmen were here, and he needed to come down through the coordinates of the same clan at any time.
"The wonder of the universe is truly breathtaking!"
He really couldn't help but admire, a star gives birth to will, it's amazing.
When the time comes, fooling this lonely little guy will be a big help for him.
A natural stellar lifeform like this has a higher potential than any Originor, because its origin is a star that can grow stronger by devouring other stars, and there is theoretically no upper limit.
That is, given enough time, He could devour an entire river system.
Imagine how terrifying it would be if He could devour an entire galaxy and gather the masses of the entire galaxy into one.
At that point, even a top-level Leviathan like the Aether Dragon is not his opponent, and it is estimated that he can hardly shake the ninth-level super-god-level civilization on his own.
"Tsk!"
As soon as he thought of this, Fang Ning was inexplicably moved, so that he was in a good mood all the way next, grabbing his hands and grabbing them with nowhere to go, and he missed Li Wan and his girlfriend a little.
