At this time, the expeditionary fleet was still 19.9 light-years away from the star Cygnus P.

According to the plan, the expeditionary force will send a dedicated scientific expedition fleet at this distance into the domination of the blue supergiant Cygnus P. The main body of the expeditionary force fleet will continue to maintain its course, passing by the star system in the distance.

"Leader, you're all set!"

The deputy military commander, Hallelujah, gave a military salute to Hara.

"Ready to go!" Yuan Haochen nodded and replied.

"Yes!"

Soon after, a fleet of command ships and six research and research spacecraft left the main body of the expeditionary force and flew straight towards Cygnus P in an arrow-like formation.

In this scientific research action, Yuan Haochen originally named Tesla to go with him, but he didn't want to this day, Tesla is still dormant and has not woken up. Therefore, Yuan Haochen had no choice but to give up and chose Wang Yao, a Chinese scientist who was the deputy commander of science, and Hallelujah, the deputy commander of the military, to go with him.

......

The research fleet is expected to enter the Cygnus P star system in two years' time, and before that, the research fleet will be closely watching the blue supergiant's every move, even if it is called a permanent nova by astronomers because of its relatively stable nature. However, once the research fleet notices that something is wrong, it will throw off its arms as soon as possible and flee quickly.

At a distance of 20 light-years, the research fleet was unable to observe in detail the internal structure of the Cygnus P star system.

First, it is difficult to find non-luminous planets dozens of light-years away, and secondly, the "light pollution" emitted by the extremely bright star Cygnus P will also obscure the reality of the galaxy's interior to a certain extent.

However, one thing that the research team can confirm is that there must be no cosmic life in the star system, even if there is a planet with an excellent ecological environment in the star system. Because the actual age of the blue supergiant Cygnus P is less than 10 million years, and its radiation energy is too large, it will occasionally stage energy jets.

It is conceivable that 10 million years is a long time, but it is only a snap of a finger for the birth of life systems, and coupled with the vicious stellar storms that may occur at any time, even if primitive life is born, it is very likely to be strangled in the cradle.

The research fleet has gradually approached the constellation Cygnus, and the blue star is becoming more and more prominent in the sky.

The Expeditionary Force's scientific team finally had a chance to observe her up close.

In cosmological theory, stars usually form in a mass of uniformly dense, thin interstellar gas.

In the process of star formation, first of all, the interstellar matter in the center of the air mass absorbs and aggregates with each other under the action of gravity, and the density begins to increase, and the attraction to the surrounding matter increases, attracting more surrounding matter to the center, and further increasing the density of the center, increasing the pressure, and increasing the temperature. When the pressure and temperature reach a certain level, the central part gradually begins to glow and heat, and a new star is considered to be born.

All stars are gaseous planets, specifically, stars are actually made up of non-solid, liquid, gaseous plasma states. This is true even for high-luminosis blue variables like Cygnid P.

It can be said that almost everything about a star depends on the mass of its initial birth, including the essential characteristics of the star, such as luminosity and size, as well as its evolution, longevity, and even its ultimate fate.

And the super-large mass of the star Cygnus P is destined for her to have a vigorous short-lived career!!

......

When the research fleet was 5.2 light-years away from the constellation Cygnus, the scientific team finally observed the first large celestial object.

In the command ship, scientific commander Wang Yao immediately reported the observation results to Yuan Haochen.

"Report leader, we have discovered a massive celestial body in the constellation Cygnus."

"Is a massive celestial body a planet?" Yuan Haochen asked.

"I can't confirm it yet!" Wang Yao replied, "If it is a planet, its mass is really larger, and in the telescope system, her brightness is very high. ”

"Well, there should be two possibilities, first, the surface of the object is smooth, with extremely high light reflectivity, maybe it is a hockey ball."

Yuan continued to speculate: "Second, this is a small white dwarf, but the light she emits is already very weak. ”

"Indeed, as you say, other scientists have deduced so!" Wang Yao agreed.

"Keep observing!" Yuan Haochen patted Wang Yao's shoulder and ordered.

......

When the distance between the scientific research fleet and the blue supergiant Cygnus P became shorter and shorter, Yuan Haochen and others found that their inferences were slightly wrong.

The massive celestial body observed before turned out to be a diamond planet!

It is a very old, very low temperature (just over 2500 degrees) and very dim white dwarf. The planet's carbon has crystallized to form a "super diamond ball" three times the size of Earth.

According to the research team's calculations, the diamond planet is a high-density inner core debris left behind after the collapse and death of a star with a mass similar to the sun, and its material composition is mainly carbon and oxygen, and it took billions of years before gradually cooling and slowly dimming.

"A huge diamond, no wonder the reflection is so high!"

"According to the energy analysis, she herself is still radiating energy outward, which contains a small amount of visible light."

The scientists on the research team have figured out the situation, but they are not particularly excited.

"Times are different!"

Yuan Haochen chuckled in his heart. If this is in the age of the earth, how many people will occasionally stay awake at night and try in every possible way to develop this diamond planet. Of course, if humans get a diamond the size of a planet, the diamond will instantly become as cheap as glass.

Those bigwigs who collect diamonds and jewelers who sell diamonds will definitely cry and faint in the toilet!

However, in the eyes of humans in Gaia's time, diamonds were not precious jewels at all. The perception of diamonds has changed dramatically over the centuries.

[Diamonds are eternal, one will last forever!] This advertising slogan has long been a joke.

As we all know, natural diamonds are formed in the deep interior of the planet in the high temperature and high pressure environment, its essence is an allotrope of carbon, in layman's terms, it is essentially the same as black carbon, are composed of carbon elements.

With the development of science and technology, after mankind entered the era of interstellar development, diamonds are no longer a rare thing. In the process of interstellar resource development, a large number of diamonds were mined and transported back in the universe, and the once king of the jewelry world gradually fell off the altar.

Just imagine, things that can be easily made even in a laboratory will naturally abound in this vast universe.

Scientists have long demonstrated that even the diamond, which is three times the size of the Earth, is quite numerous in the universe......
