Chapter 932: Red Dwarf

Red dwarfs are a classification of celestial bodies in the universe that belong to the M-type main-sequence star and are low-mass stars.

Lang Xiaonian thought that the huge reddish-brown celestial object he saw in front of him was a red dwarf.

However, this is very unreasonable.

"How can there be a red dwarf here? A red dwarf star is a type of star that can become a star, and even a small mass star requires a great deal of mass to do so. "There were questions in the ranks.

This doubt is legitimate.

In the universe, the types of celestial bodies are all determined by mass.

If the mass does not meet the criteria for being a star, it can only be a planet.

Jupiter in the solar system is the most appropriate example.

In fact, some of Jupiter's characteristics, very much like a star, are also composed of hydrogen, and they also emit radiation outward.

However, Jupiter is not a star and will not evolve like a star because it does not have enough mass.

To become a star, there is a minimum standard of quality.

This mass is 75 times the mass of Jupiter.

Yes, Jupiter, although it has some characteristics that resemble a star, has to be 75 times more massive to become a star.

Moreover, this is only the minimum standard.

This minimum standard mass is actually only 0.08 solar masses.

Red dwarfs are the ones with the lowest mass and the highest surface temperature among the stars.

Therefore, when Lang Xiaonian felt that the sphere he saw in front of him was a red dwarf, most people felt that this idea was unreasonable.

"Probably not, there is not so much mass on this planet that can form a star, even the smallest red dwarf."

Lang Xiaonian quickly swiped on the tablet, flipped out the Herrot diagram, and then pointed to the red dwarf star symbol in the upper corner of the Herrot diagram, and said, "It really looks like a red dwarf, really, I feel that this is a miniature red dwarf." ”

Another member of the military scientific research class, who also knows more about astronomy, stretched out his hand and pointed to the data on it: "Then you can also look at this quality." At least 75 times the mass of Jupiter to make it the smallest red dwarf. The mass of the planet is less than one-tenth of that of Jupiter, and even if the mass of the entire planet is absorbed, it is impossible to form a red dwarf. ”

Lang Xiaonian shook his head again and explained with some excitement: "Gravity, the key is gravity. Remember, why does it take enough mass to form a star?

"And why can't low-mass stars evolve into neutron stars, or even black holes?

"The reason is not the mass itself, but the gravitational pull produced by the mass.

"The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational force, and if the gravitational force exceeds the critical value, the reminder will collapse.

Therefore, what really determines the properties of celestial bodies is not the mass itself, but the gravitational force generated by the mass.

"Let's think about it, if there is an ability to increase gravity, is it possible to make celestial objects evolve into red dwarfs with less mass."

When the people listened to his explanation, they suddenly realized that he was right.

in the universe.

Stars can only form when they reach 0.08 solar masses, and objects that do not reach this mass can only be planets, or smaller stars.

However, in essence, mass is not a factor that directly affects the evolution of celestial bodies, but an indirect factor.

The immediate factor is gravity.

The people in the team who wanted to understand this began to breathe heavily, and they felt that a crisis was coming.

Because, in Ralph Cook's information on the Governing Council, the Dominating Council does have four basic forces, including gravity.

However, at the beginning, this piece of information was subconsciously ignored by everyone.

Because among the human awakened, there have also been "gravitational waves" type abilities.

There is a White Eagle super soldier who once had this "gravitational wave" ability, but later lost Fang Yuan's fist and died in the Namba Rift Cave.

Humans also have a certain degree of research on gravitational waves.

So, an inherent impression of gravitational waves has been formed.

Gravitational waves are the weakest of the four fundamental forces, and their wavelengths are so long that they are almost indestructive.

Therefore, when most people see the materials that dominate the parliament, they focus on the "strong nuclear force" and the "weak nuclear force", and subconsciously ignore the gravitational force.

However, now that I saw the reddish-brown star in front of me, I had a bad feeling in my heart.

At that moment, there was another loud bang in the miniature red dwarf.

Rumble!

The inner layer of the star is once again exploring, the mass is getting bigger and bigger, and the gravitational pull formed is getting stronger and stronger, and it is still devouring the surrounding matter.

Immediately after, the sound of steel being broken came from beside him.

One of the team's underground chariots is gravitationally attracted and rolls and is sucked in by the red dwarf.

The people on the chariot suddenly exclaimed.

A fiery red armor figure suddenly flew out, preventing the chariot from being sucked in by the red dwarf.

Fang Yuan hurriedly went up to help, dragging the people in the car out and sending them back to the ground.

Then, the god of war, the red dragon, let go of the chariot.

The chariot tumbled and fell into the red dwarf, where it slowly fused at a temperature of 2,000 degrees on the surface of the red dwarf, and finally merged with the red dwarf.

As the red dwarf continued to devour the surrounding material, the cavern completely collapsed, and the entire reddish-brown star appeared on the ground.

All human countries saw this strange star at the same time, which immediately aroused the attention of scientists from all mankind.

By all accounts, the star looks like a red dwarf, but it's just a small size.

The Eastern Naval Academy of Sciences immediately convened an emergency scientific meeting.

Soon, geologist Zhou Wensheng submitted a piece of information.

The data shows that since sixty years ago, the gravitational center of the planet is not the center of the planet.

This is possible in planets, as long as the center of gravity is not particularly exaggerated.

However, the shift of the gravitational center of the planet is not small in terms of data.

The Academy of Military Sciences immediately conveyed an order, asking the front-line troops to calculate the mass and density of the red dwarf star of the Star Beast Civilization.

However, it is very difficult to do so.

Because when humans calculate the mass of a star, they calculate it according to the gravitational pull of the star on the surrounding stars.

In other words, to calculate the volume of a star, it is necessary to ensure that the gravitational strength is constant.

However, the gravitational pull emitted by the red dwarf created by the Star Beast civilization will change.

Therefore, it is not possible to measure the gravitational force of the red dwarf of the Star Beast civilization through gravity.

In the end, only according to Zhou Wensheng's information, it can be roughly calculated that the mass of the Star Beast Civilization Red Dwarf exceeds the mass that the volume should have, and the density is very high, more than 20 times that of iron.

One item at a time is calculated.

When human scientists see these data, their faces are full of confusion and surprise.

Because this red dwarf star made by the Star Beast Civilization is too peculiar.

"No, this miniature red dwarf star didn't just appear now, this red dwarf star has always existed, it has existed since sixty years ago, and it has been hidden in the main nest of the star beast civilization, which is the reason for the shift of the planet's gravitational center." In the end, scientists from the Academy of Military Sciences gave a preliminary analysis result.
