Chapter 817: Devouring Stars and Devouring Earth

A stable single-star system with a yellow dwarf with a mass equivalent to three times the mass of the Sun, and a gas giant with a mass thirty times the mass of Jupiter.

The strong gravitational pull of stars and planets entangles with each other, creating a very stable celestial structure that cannot be easily captured by stars from other star systems.

Today, however, the tranquility in the stellar system has been shattered, and outsiders have entered the stellar system from elsewhere.

A huge amount of light emanated, and the scale of this source of light was almost close to the size of a small red dwarf, and at first glance, it seemed as if a small white dwarf had suddenly appeared in the star system.

The light pressure even overwhelmed the solar wind of the yellow dwarf, causing it to diverge, and the gas giant even had tens of thousands of tons of gaseous material floating into the universe.

The light was fleeting, revealing a massive structure, flattened, with the circular faces of the two disks on the same horizontal plane, connected by two long gravitational rings.

The long gravitational ring ensures that the two disks do not collide with each other due to gravity.

Overlooking two circular faces and a pair of connected long gravitational rings, the overall outline of such a massive structure resembles the elliptical shape of a playground track.

This is the Star-Swallowing Megastructure that the Gatherers have built, and is now being tested through Star-Swallowing Experiments.

A powerful wave of electromagnetic radar is released from the star-swallowing megastructure, scanning the environment within the star system.

The star-swallowing megastructure then latches onto the gas giant as its target, a planet 30 times the mass of Jupiter.

The Star-Swallowing Megastructure suddenly began to displace, increasing to a very high speed in a very short period of time, and it could almost be said that only a few minutes had passed, and the extremely massive Star-Swallowing Megastructure was in the vicinity of the gas giant that was the target.

The Star-Swallowing Giant does not have inertial braking, and the traditional mechanics seem to be dead at this moment, the Star-Swallowing Giant is still moving at a very high speed one second, but the next second it is abruptly still near the gas giant.

The Star-Swallowing Giant aligns its middle part, the gap between the two long gravitational rings, at the gas giant, and then begins to move closer to the gas giant.

The gas overflowed, and the mass of the Star-Swallowing Megastructure itself tore at the giant itself, causing some of the gas above to fly into the universe.

Through laser ranging, the star-swallowing giant accurately places the gas giant in the middle, and in the process of descending, the part connected with the long gravitational ring is used as the flipping axis, and the two huge planet-like circles are slowly flipping, and finally the circle is facing the direction of the gas giant.

"Laser proofreading, testing to see if it remains parallel."

From the contours of the giant circles, a beam of calibration lasers is released, and laser ranging is used to determine whether the two huge circles of the Star-Swallowing Giant remain flat and parallel.

"Test over, confirm parallel, wait for the next step instructions."

"Start faster-than-light, go to your destination, coordinates ......"

All the gravitational rings of the entire Star-Swallowing Giant are producing negative matter, and the negative matter produced by the gravitational rings in front will pass through the pipes that rely on the long gravitational rings and transfer them to the disks behind.

The negative matter made by the two long gravitational rings will also be transferred to the large disk behind it through the pipes attached to it.

The large disk in the rear will also produce negative matter, and the three parties work together to produce negative matter, so that the huge disk can complete the accumulation of negative matter in a short time and achieve superluminal speed.

The Star-Swallowing Megastructure, along with the gas giant that exists in the middle of the two long gravitational rings, begins to move together in a way that does not conform to classical mechanics as the negative mass of the large disk behind it accumulates, and very much to the speed of light.

The data from the experiment was quickly sent to the cluster leader.

"Not ideal?" The leader of the cluster asked rhetorically, "Isn't there no need to think about momentum?" ”

"It's true that accelerating a planet to superluminal speed doesn't need to be about momentum, but the problem is that planets are moving objects in the first place, and you need to change the state of motion of the planet, or change the state of motion of the star-swallowing megastructure itself, and the two need to remain relatively stationary, otherwise there is a danger of collision." ”

Hearing the explanation of his kindred, the leader of the cluster understood what was going on, and he pondered and muttered to himself.

“…… Whether it is changing the speed of the Star-Swallowing Megastructure itself, or changing the speed of the planet itself, these are too energy-intensive, and the mass of both is very large. ”

"In the past, there was a plan for the Bulletin, and it was more reliable to change the state of motion of the planet." There are gatherers who come up with ideas.

However, it was quickly refuted by other gatherers.

"That's the will to use a tricky method, the planet is already revolving around the star at high speed, at that time, to deal with the empire's planetary propulsion, a large part of it is just to deflect the direction of the planet, and to further increase the speed of the planet on the original speed, normally speaking, although for us now, there is no technical difficulty in changing the state of motion of a planet, but there is no way to achieve it quickly in a short period of time, the greater the mass of the star, the longer it will take to change the state of motion, which is not consistent with our original idea of building a star-swallowing giant."

"In this way, the star-swallowing giant structure is a bit too chicken."

The purpose of the construction of the Star Swallowing Megastructure is to allow the cluster to collect more material resources, and if they can't get much resources and stick to them instead, the gatherers can't accept it.

"It can't be said that it is chicken, there are still some places that can still come in handy, or we can further try to enlarge the volume of the Star Swallowing Giant."

The leader of the cluster offers his thoughts on the Star-Swallowing Megastructure.

Its thoughts surprised the gatherers for a moment, and then reacted.

"A step closer to zooming in? That is, the faster-than-light transfer of resources from planets to stars? ”

The leader of the cluster replied firmly, "Yes, the amount of stellar celestial resources is very large, and there is no way to compare planets with them, and it is impossible for giant creatures to mine all the resources in a short period of time, and it is very suitable as a target for faster-than-light transportation, and it can be collected for a long time with one-time transportation." ”

"And stars and planets are not the same, the speed of the planets fluctuates too much, but the speed of the stars is in a stable range, as long as we find a suitable velocity value, we can invest less resources to change the state of motion of the stars."

"As for the current star-swallowing giant structure that transports planets, it can be used to transport those planets that have given birth to extraterrestrial civilizations, like the last Dali civilization home planet, and it wastes a lot of time to let it exceed the speed of light."

The statement of the leader of the cluster was agreed by the collectors, if the star-swallowing megastructure was used as a stellar resource collection, it would undoubtedly be profitable, and it would be a big profit, and the size of the star was by no means comparable to that of the planets.

"What's next?" A collector asked.

The leader of the cluster replied, "The construction of the stellar giant requires a long time of resource reserves, as well as a stable environment, not to mention the stable environment for the time being, in terms of resource reserves, we do not have the material resources to support the group, and with the existing resource gathering capacity of the cluster, I am afraid it will take a long time." ”

"So let's think about how to carry out the tasks entrusted to us by will."

Hearing the Cluster Leader mention the Will's Mission, the Gatherers immediately understood what they were saying.

"Understood."
