Chapter Seventy-Three: Approaching the Twin Stars
With the space detection system, the Dragon Civilization can "see" the scenery outside while navigating in curvature.
With the cooperation of space detection system and quantum communication, the Dragon Civilizations can collect information from the Seven-Eyed Civilization and the Three-Eyed Civilization at all times.
Those Picomy moons sent back information about the two civilizations at all times, but most of them were information about other proto-star systems, and there was not much information about the parent planet and the fourth-level civilization.
About five years later, all the Picomy satellites lost contact at the same time.
They didn't even have time to transmit the strike message back.
However, their destruction completely proves the fact that there is a fourth-level civilization.
But it is extremely difficult to assess the strength of the other party. Now, the Longteng civilization is at a disadvantage due to the lack of information.
When the Fog Cloud Civilization will catch up, and what kind of weapons it has, is only a mystery. However, for the Longteng civilization, there is no need to put the work center here, after all, in the curvature navigation, the Longteng civilization can't do anything except scout the other party.
Of course, the Fog Cloud Civilization is only a fourth-level civilization, and it is impossible for them to have a faster-than-light strike method, that is to say, even if the other party pursues, it will inevitably reduce the fleet to below the speed of light before they can launch an attack on the Dragon Civilization.
Although the Longteng civilization is still at a disadvantage, there is something to be done here, and the Central Committee seized this point and came up with many strategies when formulating strategies and tactics......
Twelve years passed in a flash, and the fleet was soon freed from the curvature of the voyage, and the colorful scene came into view.
Ahead is a calm lake, and a star is silently radiating light and heat, like a white butterfly, dancing in the darkness, its milky white light is very holy, like the dawn of heaven.
However, the white butterfly is not at peace inside, it is more like a menopausal person, very irritable, and may pour out its anger on any warship at any time.
It is a white giant star, and its life has entered the countdown phase. Because it originally had five times the mass of the Sun, it was bluer in the main-sequence stage, so the expansion and cooling (shell hydrogen fusion) process took a long time, the temperature was higher, and the light appeared white.
Of course, its expansion and cooling process will continue. For an intermediate-mass star like it, the hydrogen in its core has been used up, the rate of thermonuclear reaction has decreased sharply, gravity has gradually defeated the energy produced by fusion, and has the upper hand, its core begins to collapse under the action of gravity, and the core temperature also rises further, and then starts helium fusion, every three helium nuclei fuse into a carbon nucleus, and the carbon nucleus captures the other helium nuclei to form an oxygen nucleus, producing huge energy to resist the collapse of gravity.
But unlike slow hydrogen fusion, these reactions detonate so violently that the star is forced to constantly adjust its structure, so that the unused hydrogen from the outside also begins to burn, and it rapidly expands to a billion times its original volume.
At this stage, the outer layer is far enough away from the hot core that the temperature of the star's outer layer will be lowered, and the white will gradually turn yellow, and then turn into a yellow giant.
Of course, a medium-mass star like this, at the end of its evolution, has a core mass that does not exceed the Chandrasekhar limit (1.44 solar mass), so it will still form a white dwarf.
At this stage, the white butterfly was very violent, it swept across the entire star system with a terrifying stellar wind and stellar material eruption, sweeping away a huge amount of material, and only two billion kilometers away from it did it hide a dark gas planet, silently revolving around this guy.
The little doll carefully devoured the faint white light, fearing that it would be affected by the white giant's might, and pumped the pitiful mass of its body into the starry sky.
However, what is surprising is that there is a small ant next to this bright white butterfly, and the two "lives" are connected by a white bond, and the distance between the two sides is only 50 million kilometers.
The ant is a white dwarf star with 1.3 solar masses, smaller in diameter than Earth, but with its astonishing density, it forms a semi-dense near-binary star with the white giant.
Due to the rapid expansion of the white giant, the Loch lobe fills itself, and a large amount of material exceeds the range of the Loch lobe, escaping the gravitational pull of the star, and forming a material transport stream from the L1 point (Lagrange point), transporting countless tons of material to the white dwarf star in a steady stream.
These materials are not directly attached to the white dwarf, they are like ramen, gradually tapering and lengthening, around the white dwarf, forming a sucking disk, after several rotations, finally falling on the white dwarf.
They will be compressed by the terrifying force of gravity, casting a high-density hydrogen wall on the surface of the white dwarf, and constantly heating up.
However, the white dwarf's mass is very close to the Chandrasekhar limit, and with the material replenishment of the white giant, it is highly likely to exceed 1.44 solar masses, triggering an internal carbon explosion and becoming a type Ia supernova.
At that point, the supernova will sweep across a nearby area of hundreds of light-years, dealing a huge blow to life in the region.
Fortunately, the Dragon Teng civilization does not have to worry about the threat of Type Ia supernova explosion, the explosion requires a huge amount of matter, and the time for material precipitation is 100,000 years, and by the time it explodes, the Dragon Teng civilization has long run away.
However, in the face of a semi-dense near-binary star system, the Dragon Teng civilization cannot be taken lightly. When the temperature reaches the temperature of thermonuclear fusion, thermonuclear fusion will begin rapidly, and the white dwarf will throw out some material, which will cause a nova explosion.
The energy generated by the Nova explosion is definitely less than 1/10,000th of the Ia Supernova Explosion, but even so, its power cannot be underestimated, and at such a distance, it is easy to wipe out the fleet of the Dragon Civilization.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain constant monitoring of the semi-dense near binary star, so that the fleet can sail in curvature to avoid the destructive power of the nova explosion.
The fleet sailed rapidly in the starry sky, and the dazzling white light kept flickering, like a lighthouse, guiding the fleet forward.
Let's name the white giant Near-A, the white dwarf Near-B, and the gaseous planet, Near-A.
The fleet ended up stationed on a nearby moon, a gaseous planet 1.6 times the mass of Jupiter, with twenty-four moons, one of which was about the same mass as Earth, and was suitable as a temporary base for the Dragon Civilization.
This satellite also received the name of Mijin A1, and as for the other satellites, they will become the raw materials of the military industry of the Longteng civilization, transforming into countless warships, and they can't even leave their names.
