Chapter 635: The Death Star Begins
Outside an uninhabited planetary system, a battleship suddenly appeared, it was the Covenant battleship that had previously separated from the fleet.
"This is it!" On the bridge of the battleship, Kratos spoke, looking at the huge fireball in the distant planetary system.
The planetary system they reached was a red giant galaxy.
"It's a great place to hide things." Chris on the side nodded, among all the galaxies, unless they have very special resources, the red giant galaxy is the least developed value...... It's not that there is no development value, but the development cost is too high.
Because red giants are the most unstable stage in the evolution of stars, they are extremely inflated in size, and helium flashes occur from time to time, causing terrifying stellar storms, which are very dangerous. Just like if the Sun becomes a red giant, its volume can expand to the position of Saturn's asteroid belt, and Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars will all be swallowed, and the original habitable zone will naturally no longer exist.
Therefore, it is basically impossible for life to exist in this kind of planetary system, and even if there was, it can only be destroyed or migrated.
However, this kind of planetary system is indeed a good place to hide things, because basically no one will be bored to run to such a dangerous place, even a top civilization like Xia will not be willing to waste time on this kind of planetary system, and the benefits and costs are completely disproportionate.
Of course, there is also a premise for this, and that is that the hidden things can not be swallowed by the red giant, or destroyed by helium flashes.
"That's right, it was a coincidence that we were able to find this thing back then, and we were also carried away by the ancient ruins, and it was too difficult to try to restore it in this environment." Kratos laughed at himself.
Chris nodded, did not speak, this is not difficult to explain the decline of the Eternals, according to the comprehensive information, although the technology of the Eternals back then was not too developed, but it would not be worse than Zitari, under normal circumstances, there will rarely be a shortage of resources, but if a lot of resources are used to develop an ancient ruins located in the extremely harsh environment of the red giant galaxy, it is indeed not enough.
In fact, don't talk about the Eternals, even ordinary first-class civilizations will be very difficult, and if Chris only has the technological level of the interstellar human race, if he wants to develop the Death Star, I am afraid he will have to pay a lot of price.
Fortunately, Chris does not only have the technology of the interstellar people, the existence of astral technology has completely saved Chris from similar worries...... For a civilization that can make stars, red giants or something are not a problem at all.
"Commander, we've found the target! However, the target is only 0.5 AU away from the surface of the red giant, and under normal circumstances, our ships can withstand its high temperatures, but in the event of a helium flash, the ship's energy shield and armor will not be able to withstand it. At this time, Diana on the side reported: "According to the detection, the red giant star has intense internal activity, and a helium flash is about to usher in 24 hours." ”
"Wow, that's bad luck, you see...... I've done what I promised you, but you can't blame me for my bad luck, you can't go back. Kratos couldn't help grinning when he heard the sound, although he and Chris had reached an agreement, but it was impossible to say in his heart that there was no resentment, so he was happy to see that Chris was deflated, and the ancient ruins were not so easy to take.
But will Chris get his wish? Nature is impossible.
"Hehe, don't worry, of course I can't regret it, but the goods still have to be inspected, after all, no one can guarantee that so much time has passed, whether that thing has been destroyed too much by the helium flash, and it's not that the helium flash has not yet arrived." Chris chuckled.
"What? Are you really going to go in? Aren't you afraid of helium flashes? Kratos asked, surprised.
It is true that ordinary planetary lifeforms can survive in the universe after their strength reaches level 10, and after level 11, the surface temperature of ordinary stars can basically withstand it, while although red giants are in the explosion period of stars, but because of their excessive expansion, their surface temperatures will be lower than ordinary stars, so under normal circumstances, red giants will not pose much threat to strong people like them. And as long as you do a good job of protection, a spaceship with a slightly stronger level of technology can also stay at close range for a short time, which is why tens of thousands of years ago, the Eternal people who were not very high-tech were able to contact the "Death Star".
But if a helium flash occurs, it's different, how powerful is a helium flash? Take the sun as an example, if the sun has a helium flash, then the earth 1 AU away will be directly scraped away with the atmosphere of at least a few tens of meters of earth, directly turning the earth into a dead planet.
Under this kind of power, within a distance of 0.5AU, even the technology of the interstellar world has to be at least a spaceship of the level of the Star Spirit Mothership to be able to withstand it, and the regular first-class battle cruiser that Chris and the others are riding on now is absolutely impossible to survive.
However, this also illustrates the value of this Death Star from the side...... According to Kratos, the Death Star belongs to a civilization that was at least millions of years old, and the fact that it has been able to exist for so long without being destroyed shows how strong it is.
"Did you forget something?" Chris glanced at Kratos like a fool, and then saw six gems of different colors appear on his right hand.
Kratos was speechless when he saw this, okay, you have Infinity Stones you are awesome.
Indeed, under normal circumstances, helium flashes are indeed dangerous, and even without helium flashes, it is extremely difficult to take away a giant object with a diameter of more than 150 kilometers, but you can't say these things to a person who has collected Infinity Stones, and what about red giants? Don't talk about red giants, even if it's a supergiant, it's a snap of your fingers.
"Keep going." Chris ordered, and then under his order, a streamer flashed on the surface of the battleship, and it disappeared in place in an instant.
When the battleship reappeared ten minutes later, it had already arrived in the outer orbit of the planet closest to the red giant in the planetary system.
And the true face of the goal of their trip also appeared in their field of vision...... A metal sphere that looks quite dilapidated on the outside, but is basically intact as a whole, slowly orbits the planet in front of it in the form of a geostationary satellite.
"On the surface it looks okay, it's a lot better than I expected, and it seems that your luck is good, it hasn't been ruined." Chris raised an eyebrow and said to Kratos on the side, and before Kratos could answer, he snapped his fingers, and between their ship and the Death Star, a huge spatial portal appeared.
"Come on, baby, come home with me!" Chris gritted his teeth, the light of his right hand became more and more intense, and the huge death star was pulled by his gem energy, and slowly moved towards the space gate...... Thanos, who doesn't have all the gems, can trigger real moons, so how can Chris, who has all the gems, not be able to do it?
Then, in Kratos' amazement, this behemoth, which had cost them countless efforts of the Eternal Race, just entered the space gate and disappeared into this dangerous galaxy.
"Commander, a violent reaction has been detected within the red giant, and a helium flash is coming." After the Death Star fully entered the space gate, Diana happened to report the news of the upcoming helium flash.
"Good, it's here, Flash!" Under Chris's order, the battleship also activated, and entered the space gate with the Death Star, and after the battleship completely entered the space gate, the entire space gate also dissipated.
A few minutes later, a cosmic storm caused by a helium flash swept by, scraping off a thick layer of skin from the planet around which the Death Star had originally orbited.
And in the originally empty void zone on the periphery of the Asgard continent, a metal sphere slowly floated, and countless Tanji flew out of the golden palace and flew towards this metal star.
