Chapter 2260: White Dwarf
Low- and medium-mass stars pass through the main sequence phase of their lifetime, after the end of the hydrogen fusion reaction. Helium fusion will take place in the core, a trihelium fusion process that burns helium into carbon and oxygen, and expands into a red giant.
At this time, inside the red giant, a white dwarf star has been born.
When the star's instability reaches its limit, the red giant will explode, throwing all the material outside the core away from the star itself, and the matter will spread outward to become a nebula, and the remaining inner core is the white dwarf that we can see.
This is the white dwarf, the white dwarf in the sea of clouds.
White dwarfs are very dense, taking "Earth" as an example, a white dwarf comparable to "Earth" has a surface gravity of about 180,000 times that of the Earth's surface.
In front of the sea of clouds, the white dwarf star was about half the size of the Earth, and he could also feel the strong gravitational pull of the white dwarf.
It is precisely for this reason, coupled with the material results of the mental force's scan of the planet, that the sea of clouds has determined that it is a white dwarf.
However, what puzzled him was that the white dwarf was not a sphere.
Of course, its shape is infinitely close to a sphere, but it is not an absolute sphere.
Its shape resembles a plasticine sphere that has been pinched by hand, and the surface has a large number of irregular depressions.
Also, around this white dwarf, the sea of clouds does not see any nebulae.
After a star evolves into a red giant, the outer layers disperse into space to create a planetary nebula.
But in the vicinity of this white dwarf, the sea of clouds not only did not see any nebula-like matter, but even did not feel the material radiation ejected by the red giant.
Of course, it is also possible that the material scattered by the star was captured by the terrifying gravitational pull of the white dwarf, and it was eventually swallowed by it.
But the problem arises, if that were the case, the white dwarf must have been around for a long time, and then it would definitely not be in the shape it is now.
Also, as far as the sea of clouds is concerned, if the white dwarf is formed normally, then he has been in this field for some time and has not captured any of the explosions when the stars die.
The propagation of the speed of light also takes time.
However, what made Yunhai finally determine that this white dwarf star was abnormal, and it was a special kind of energy radiation.
On all the "Death Stars", including the cosmic space full of insect corpses, and the "Zerg" destroyed hive stars, similar energy radiation has been found in the sea of clouds.
This kind of energy radiation, Yun Hai did not find in the insects he encountered.
Apparently, this energy radiation is related to the unknown creatures attacking the "Zerg".
This was also the main reason why Yun Hai was sure that the other party was a different civilization, but at this moment, he realized that the unknown creature he had been wary of again and again still underestimated it.
On the surface of the white dwarf, this particular energy radiation is evenly covered and more intense than ever before.
In Yunhai's opinion, unless there is absolute physical contact, there will be no such strong energy radiation.
And he was almost certain that the unknown creature was not touching the white dwarf.
This white dwarf star is made by it.
In Yunhai's mind, a picture appeared.
Here, there was originally a star, or it was still in the main sequence stage.
All the time, it is emitting endless light and heat.
Suddenly, one day, an unknown creature descended.
The war with the "Zerg" has consumed too much of its energy, and it urgently needs to replenish more energy.
There is no doubt that it has its eye on this star.
It doesn't make much difference whether you swallow the star in one gulp, or if you completely cover it with a special body.
In short, it absorbs all main-sequence stars in a very short period of time.
In the process, there is not a single stellar material wasted.
Eventually, after it left, a massive planet turned into an irregular, high-density, high-quality white dwarf.
Intuitively, his inference was correct, but Yunhai couldn't imagine what kind of creature could do this.
There must be more strange life in the universe, and the sea of clouds has long determined this.
From aliens to bugs, from "alien species" to "silicon-based life", the universe is full of miracles of life.
But the sea of clouds could not imagine that there were such huge creatures in the universe that could devour or cover stars.
"Maybe I'm wrong, devouring a star or covering a star, it doesn't have to be as big as a star."
"It must have special abilities, it must be like this."
"Otherwise, such a life form will hit it with a wound that is even larger than my alien body, and it will probably be like I lost a piece of bone armor to it, nothing at all."
"Also, it's no wonder that no unknown creature has been found on the battlefield for a long time, it is probably the same as the Void Beast, just a terrifying starry sky beast that exists alone, not a group civilization."
"Zerg, obviously can't do any harm to it."
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Yun Hai hesitated for a moment, but slowly flew towards the white dwarf.
The energy radiation previously discovered was so small that he couldn't feel it if it weren't for the fact that his mental power had just become stronger.
Therefore, in that case, Yunhai could not be sure whether this energy radiation would affect or even harm itself.
Now it is different, because of the intimate contact, the energy radiation on the surface of the white dwarf is unusually strong.
As for the gravitational pull of the white dwarf, Yunhai is not worried.
Not to mention the gravitational pull of white dwarfs, during this period of search, the sea of clouds once approached the more terrifying celestial bodies in the universe - "neutron stars" and "black holes".
Although the density and mass of white dwarfs far exceed those of ordinary planets, there is a big gap between "neutron stars" and "black holes", and Yunhai is naturally not worried about this.
Slowing down, when Yunhai felt a force pulling him and began to accelerate towards the white dwarf, he immediately flew slowly towards the opposite flight.
He didn't use much energy, and this flying in the opposite direction only canceled out the gravitational pull from the white dwarf, making him rush towards the white dwarf much slower.
A chill invaded his body as the sea of clouds approached the white dwarf.
This chill not only made Yun Hai's body slightly stiff, but even made his consciousness a little sluggish.
Yun Hai's heart froze slightly, and he finally understood why the corpses of different races found on the "Death Star", including the insect corpses of the "Zerg", were in a stiff state.
Eventually, when he landed on the surface of the white dwarf, his stiff body and sluggish consciousness clearly told Yunhai that this kind of energy radiation, or unknown creature, would definitely be the most troublesome cosmic creature he had ever encountered.
