Chapter 332: Ocean of Light
Inside the Orion Nebula, a fleet suddenly appeared in the void.
"Oh my God! This...... It's an ocean of light! Luo Yu exclaimed exaggeratedly.
The entire fleet was bathed in stellar light, no, it should be a sea of countless stellar lights.
The fleet consisted of 501 warships and 2 large transports, of which the flagship was significantly larger than the others.
"Luo Yu, you are the commander of the 776 fleet, why do you always make a fuss? It's close to the center of the nebula, and there are so many stars shining around it, isn't it a sea of light? Du Yaoqiu frowned and said.
"Hehe, it's not just the two of us, you're just too serious." Luo Yu smiled.
"If you're always so immature, I'm afraid that the next time you want to upgrade the fleet commander, you won't be able to pass the first level of the review of the brain." Du Yaoqiu sighed.
"How did you get connected to this again? I was a little excited last time, and I gave an unconventional answer to the question raised by Zhi Brain, and who knew that I would deduct points. This level of intelligent brain review is too dogmatic. Luo Yu said with some embarrassment.
Originally, the 776 detachment of the two of them had achieved good feats in the war against the Cele civilization and had the opportunity to upgrade the fleet commander, but in the wisdom of the brain, due to Luo Yu's personality, he failed to pass.
Because the two declared to retain their partnership and upgrade at the same time, they dragged Du Yaoqiu to fail to be promoted.
Therefore, Luo Yu was very guilty in the face of Du Yaoqiu.
Du Yaoqiu said calmly: "Luo Yu, the fleet commander has to command more than 10,000 warships, although the Imperial Brain Unmanned Battleship is relatively extensive.
However, now that clone captains have been popularized in warships, and fleet-class teams have been staffed, it means that fleet commanders and staff officers have more and more lives on their shoulders.
If you are not steady enough and act only on impulse, then you will definitely not be promoted to fleet commander.
I think you can do something with a little control, so why do you have to challenge the rules? ”
"Well, I'll listen to you. Can't even joke about it, though? I would feel too depressed. Luo Yu saw that Du Yaoqiu was cautious, so he replied.
"Of course, jokes can be made, but you have to be aware of the occasion. In short, when you kid speak, a little bit of your brain, there will be no problem. Du Yaoqiu didn't want to say too much, after all, Luo Yu was not a child, and he was just a friend.
"Your Excellency Commander, Researcher Deng Cong of the Temporary Expert Group has something to look for you, and he is already outside the door of the command room." The brain suddenly made a prompt sound.
Luo Yu stood up and said, "Open the door and invite him in." ”
The door of the command room opened automatically, and a man with a beautiful face walked in, Luo Yu stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, Expert Deng!" What are you looking for us? ”
Deng Cong shook hands with Luo Yu and said, "The fleet has now reached the vicinity of the center of the nebula, and the situation here is really similar to what we observed.
Therefore, we are going to start the corresponding experiments immediately, and I want you to do a good job of cooperating. ”
Luo Yu nodded and said: "No problem, the task of our 776 Squadron is to cooperate with you, so if you have any requirements, just say it, and we promise to complete it." ”
Deng Cong looked at Luo Yu playfully and said, "What requirements can you all complete?" ”
"Expert Deng, we don't dare to play this package ticket, we will do our best to complete it within the scope of our ability." Du Yaoqiu hurriedly took over the conversation.
Deng Cong was not embarrassed by the two, so he described the experimental requirements and the things that needed to be done by the fleet.
Luo Yu and Du Yaoqiu did not dare to slack off, this time the 776 Squadron came to serve Deng Cong's temporary expert group.
This is an important experiment by the Imperial Academy of Materials Sciences, and if all goes well, it could mean the birth of a completely new material.
Although the fleet had been prepared for a long time, at the moment when it had just passed through the space gate and came here, there were still a lot of optical observation equipment destroyed.
This is because there are more stars here, and the visible light radiation is too intense, causing the optical observation equipment to fail.
At this time, other observation methods have been carried out, and in the flagship command room, various observation methods synthesize the images and project them in front of several people.
Deng Cong pointed to several huge points of light in the image and said: "These are the largest stars in the nebula, and their brightness is close to or even greater than Eddington's luminosity, because they are not naturally evolving stars.
Eddington luminosity is the maximum luminosity that can be achieved by accretive objects. If the light emitted by the object is too strong, exceeding the limit of a substance, the light radiation will take away the electrons that make up the molecules of the substance, leaving a positive charge, and if it continues, the matter will carry a large number of positive charges, forming a strong electric field from the center to the outside, and the electric field will be strengthened to a certain extent, and the positive charge will also fly away from the object under the action of the electric field. In this way, the matter decomposes under intense light radiation.
Before 2010, when the Earth era, scientists observed the largest star with a mass of 150 suns, and this record has not been broken, so it is believed that stars will not form more than this weight during star evolution.
Because if the star wants to evolve more naturally heavier, it will collapse rapidly under its gravitational pull, and the gravitational energy will be converted into heat energy, causing the temperature inside the star to rise sharply to more than 1 billion degrees Celsius, which will trigger a violent nuclear reaction, release huge energy, and directly disintegrate the star itself.
But in 2010, scientists discovered the presence of a star in the Large Magellanic Cloud, which may be larger than 300 solar masses, the giant R136a1!
The star R136a1 apparently did not evolve naturally, but was the result of the merger of multiple stars. The Orion Nebula, although not as good as the Large Magellanic Cloud, which gave birth to R136a1, is also the birthplace of stars.
In fact, the brightest stars are the result of the merger of multiple stars, so although they are not as impressive as R136a1, they are not small.
Our experiment is going to be divided into two steps, the first step is to collect the corresponding substance, and if the first step collects the substance proves our hypothesis, then the second step is to make observations. ”
Although Luo Yu understood what Deng Cong said about astronomy, he didn't know what the experiments to be done by the Academy of Materials Science had anything to do with these astronomical knowledge.
Then he asked, "What does our experiment have to do with the stars you mentioned?" ”
Deng Cong smiled, pointed to the largest bright star and said: "The predecessor of this star may be two stars, they orbit each other, because they are located in a relatively dense cluster of stars, it is easy to be affected by the surrounding stars, resulting in the orbits of the two stars surrounding each other becoming more and more flattened, becoming an elongated elliptical orbit, so the distance between the two stars is farther and closer, and finally the two stars collide together when they are closest and merge into a huge star."
In the process of this stellar fusion, certain substances will be born in this special environment, and this is the new material we are looking for. ”
Only then did Luo Yu understand that emotion is to obtain the inspiration for the synthesis of matter from cosmic phenomena, and then find a way to simulate the synthesis process and study the production process, so as to realize the production of new substances.
However, this is not easy, just like scientists watch the sun take place in nuclear fusion every day, but human beings have not been able to truly achieve controlled nuclear fusion reactions for many years.
Immediately, together with Du Yaoqiu, he mobilized the warships in the detachment to form a formation and began to release the collection equipment that Deng Cong had prepared.
These devices have their own power, like a small net, so many devices slowly put together, it forms a huge net, all the devices are controlled by the brain, so as to ensure coordination, accurately ensure that there is almost no gap between the small net.
Propulsion, they will slowly approach a safe distance from the largest bright star, collecting the material thrown by the bright star.
The whole process is not as smooth as expected, because the stellar activity is violent, and the stellar winds that blow from time to time will blow the giant net up.
Moreover, in the nebula, all kinds of X-rays, ultraviolet rays, etc. are extremely strong, if it were not for the protection of the powerful shield of the battleship, I am afraid that the humans inside the battleship would have died long ago.
After two months of collection, the first stage was completed, and in one of the transport ships, there was a series of analytical equipment there.
After two months of collection, more than 1,000 tons of stellar material were obtained, and the expert group led by Deng Cong mobilized the equipment in the transport ship to conduct a comprehensive analysis of more than 1,000 tons of material.
One day after another month, Deng Cong came to the command room of the flagship again and said excitedly to Luo Yu and Du Yaoqiu: "We have succeeded!" Our assumption is correct, and the process of star fusion can indeed give birth to super nanopolymers.
This super nanopolymer is not any element, does not have a nucleus of protons and neutrons, and no electrons revolve around the nucleus.
It purely refers to the direct polymerization at the particle level below the nanoscale, and this magical structure gives such a material incredible material properties.
Even far beyond the hydrogen element degenerate polymer material, with this material, we in the Anemo Empire will be able to build the most powerful warship. ”
"Really? Great, so are we going to take the next step? Luo Yu asked.
"Of course, we immediately put all the observation equipment on the second transport ship to be able to observe how this material is produced in the star.
The environment here is too harsh, and although the fleet has a shield, it can't stay for a long time. Deng Cong said anxiously.
If the research he led this time really realizes the kind of super nano polymer, he may become a big scientist in one fell swoop with this research result.
The fleet soon put out all the observation equipment carried on the second transport, which was already a special observation equipment made of the best materials in the Aeolian Empire.
They will be released at a close distance to the brightest star and will observe and record all aspects of the massive star's activity, which will be used as data for the production of this super nanopolymer.
With these observations, back in the laboratory, the replication process can be completed through research, so as to study the real material production process, and finally reach the point where it can be mass-produced.
Of course, this is certainly not a short process, and Deng Cong did not think about it overnight, at least his guess is correct, so as long as he moves forward on the right path, he can reach the end sooner or later.
Two months later, the fleet completed the collection of observational data and set sail for home.
In the void, the small fleet, which had been active here for five months, suddenly disappeared. When it reappeared, it was already in the S79 system.
"Hey, is the Empire's fleet all dispatched? The galaxy is so empty! Luo Yu looked at the projection of the observation equipment, and after the fleet passed through the space gate, the busy scene when it set off was gone.
"776th Squadron, please dock for a while to rest, the Imperial Main Fleet has left for the S188 system. Once you're done recuperating, head to the S188 system. ”
The prompt of the Brain suddenly sounded, and it was obviously the instructions of the General Staff conveyed by the mobile spaceport of the S79 galaxy.
Unexpectedly, five months after going out, the main fleet of the empire had already embarked on an interstellar voyage. ()
