267 Detonating a Dying Star
"Yes."
Attrium answered, and then led Odin and the others out of the palace to a dock where several spaceships were docked.
The spaceship is not large, probably only able to accommodate a dozen people, and the shape is very simple, in a word, it is an iron lump.
"This is a spaceship?" The horse-faced Thor obviously felt that this simple shape was not reliable, and couldn't help but question.
Atrei turned to look at him, "Nidawi's stellar mining ship is the most sturdy spacecraft in the universe. If you don't believe me, you can try to sabotage it, and if you manage to sabotage our mining ship, I invite you to drink mead. โ
"Forget it." The horse-faced Thor shook his head.
The crowd then boarded the mining boat.
The interior of the mining ship is as rudimentary as the outside, devoid of anything cosmetic, all of stiff steel, and the seats are even a little sloppy.
"Let's go." Atri said, and the mining ship departed from the steel docks of Nidawi and sailed into the starry sky.
The Dwarven mining boats, despite their crudely shaped, were quite powerful and very fast, far surpassing the Kree escape boats that Rowe had captured in the first place.
After two space jumps, the mining ship carried the people to a distant starry sky.
"That's the mine we're going to mine." Atri stretched out his hand.
Following the direction he was pointing, looking through the porthole, he saw a huge red nebula levitating in the space in front of the ship.
The nebula envelops a fiery sphere that emits a dazzling glow.
"A dying star." Atrii added.
The horse-faced Thor was very surprised: "To the star mining? โ
Odin laughed, "Mjรถlnir's material, Uru, is from a dying star. โ
Horse-faced Thor: "But how do we go to the stars to mine, can this ship resist the power of the stars?" โ
"A dying star like this is in a very unstable state and could collapse on its own at any time. We just need to give it a chance and it will be detonated, ejecting a large amount of material, including the Ulu ore we need. โ
"How do you detonate it?"
Atri looked at Odin: "His Majesty Odin is here, so we don't have to worry about it." โ
"Leave it to me." Odin smiled, and then left the mining ship, and walked into the starry sky, standing alone in the nebula.
He flipped over and pulled out a golden spear, which was the instrument of Asgard's kingship, the Spear of Eternity.
Odin gripped the Eternal Spear, and with a snap of his hand, the body of the spear erupted in a colorful light.
Immediately after, a pillar of light that resembled a rainbow bridge shot out from the Eternal Spear - in fact, this pillar of light was the Rainbow Bridge. The Eternal Spear, as the instrument of Asgard's royal power, has the ability to invoke the Rainbow Bridge.
Ignoring the distance, the beams of light of the Rainbow Bridge came in an instant, passing through the vast nebula and bombarding the fiery core of the dying star.
The power of Asgard was released, and the inner body of the star, which was already in an extremely unstable state at the end of evolution, suddenly entered the process of collapse and began to disintegrate, bursting out with endless light and heat.
Of course, Luo Wei and the others, who were on the edge of the nebula, could not perceive the detonation of the star's inner core, after all, the light there had not yet been transmitted here.
After a while, Odin retrieved the Eternal Spear and returned to the mining ship: "Let's go back." โ
There are large and small stars, but no matter how small the stars are, they are also extremely large for human beings. Therefore, the explosion of a star can be as short as a few hours and as long as the sun and moon.
And in the process of exploding, the vicinity of the star will become extremely dangerous, and naturally it will not be able to wait in place.
Attri nodded, reversed course, and returned to Nidawi via the space jump.
It was only after a few days that the group returned to the vicinity of the star.
At this point, the star is no longer "dying", but dead, leaving only a vast wreckage, where all kinds of materials are suspended and colorful nebulae are intertwined with each other.
The mining ship traveled and wandered through the nebula, and then a mechanical arm stretched out from the hull of the ship, grabbed a gray object that looked like gold but not gold, stone and stone, and brought it into the cabin.
"This is Ulu ore?"
In the cabin, Luo Wei, the horse-faced Thor, and the Heroic Spirit Warriors were mostly surprised when they saw Ulu ore for the first time.
"That's right." Ai Cui nodded, "However, they are both Ulu ores, but they are very different from each other, and the quality of the Ulu metal extracted is also very different...... Ulu ore of insufficient quality has no value for smelting and forging. โ
"What is the quality of this ore?"
"Let me see." Atri said, taking out a dagger, scraping some powder from the ore, placing it in the palm of his hand and in front of his eyes, and observing it carefully.
After a moment, he shook his head: "It's not good, the quality of this ore can only smelt secondary Ulu at most...... Ulu ore from the same star is of much the same quality, and it looks like we're going to have to find another dying star. โ
Odin said, "In order to build Mjรถrnir, it took four dying stars to detonate the high-quality Uru ore. Hopefully this time there will be less trouble. โ
Luo Wei couldn't help but sweat when he heard this, and said in his heart No wonder Ulu weapons are so rare, all of them are artifacts.
Finding Ulu ore alone is a difficult job. There is more than one dying star that detonates, and if there is no help from the gods, ordinary people don't even think about this kind of thing.
After examining a few more ores and confirming that the Ulu ore was of poor quality and of poor use, Atri drove away on the mining ship and headed for the next dying star.
In fact, even low-quality Ulu is still a fairly powerful metal, but no one wants to use it because of the high cost and low cost cost of smelting and forging it.
The mining ship came to the vicinity of a dying star again, and like last time, Odin left the cabin, ready to mobilize the power of the Rainbow Bridge to induce the star to enter the death process early.
"Stop!"
At this moment, an angry shout suddenly reached Odin's ears.
Odin frowned and saw a silver rainbow flying into the starry sky in front of him, and a bright figure immediately appeared.
The figure was not flesh and blood, but was composed of a silvery and translucent mass, like crystal or stardust, and looked gorgeous.
"Who are you?" Odin asked.
The silvery translucent figure said, "I am the messenger of the Devourer of Planets, Stardust. โ
"Devourer of Planets!" Odin's expression changed slightly.
Stardust said slowly, "The Devourer of Planets is part of the laws of nature, Odin, and you, as the God-King of Asgard, must know this. โ
Then he stretched out his hand and pointed: "There is a planet there that is about to become food for the planet devourers, so you can't destroy this star, otherwise you will interfere with the course of the universe." โ
"Anyone who tries to interfere with the course of the universe will inevitably be punished by the universe."
