Chapter Seventy-Four: Exploring the White Dwarf

After being settled, the Longteng civilization put down the research of science and technology such as people's livelihood, and concentrated all its scientific research forces to conduct reconnaissance of the dense binary star system, in a vain attempt to break through the barrier of the Great Unification Theory.

At the same time, the Longteng civilization mobilized 90% of its industrial productivity, and quickly built a large number of military facilities and a large number of new warships to deal with the possible attack of the fourth-level civilization.

However, the other side seems to have lost the position of the Dragon Teng civilization, and in the first year, the space detection system did not detect the large-scale troop movement of the other side, not even a single soldier.

Liu Wei didn't think that the fog cloud civilization would be so backward, the other party was a mature fourth-level civilization, as long as he observed carefully, he would definitely be able to discover the abnormal movement of the development galaxy and send troops to annihilate it.

Most of the development galaxies are empty shell warships, and they can't be the opponents of the fog cloud civilization at all.

And the Fog Cloud Civilization can also chase the Dragon Teng Civilization along the vine, and in the end there will only be a one-sided war of annihilation.

However, the other party still did not move, and the fog cloud civilization was just like its name, like a phantom hidden in the fog, which was unpredictable.

Could it be that the other party wants to wait for the Dragon Teng Civilization to become a fourth-level civilization before making a move?

However, in this year, the Longteng civilization has made a breakthrough in the field of the Great Unification Theory, which is the most tangible thing at the moment.

The work of detecting white giants and white dwarfs at close range was soon launched, and a large number of patrol boats and reconnaissance satellites flew directly to the two satellites. The white dwarf, which emits a faint but holy light, is more favored than the raging white giant.

After being reviewed by the Central Committee, a patrol boat decisively launched a plan to land on the white dwarf, in a vain attempt to use its picomi material to force the terrifying gravitational pull.

The patrol boat departed from Dense A1 in a vain attempt to land on the side of the white dwarf with its back to the white giant.

In such a chaotic star system, patrol boats dare to use only conventional sailing, and do not dare to turn on the curvature engine. But even so, it traveled at a quarter of the speed of light and approached the white dwarf in only seven hours and twenty minutes.

At this time, the patrol boat was only 20 million kilometers away from the white dwarf, and at this distance, the white dwarf was wrapped in a layer of white air currents tens of thousands of diameters, revealing its true face.

It is inherently difficult to obtain an optical image of a white dwarf, which has a very low luminosity, it is very faint, like a black stone hidden in the dark universe, and it is difficult for people to detect.

Moreover, many white dwarfs have companion stars, and their faint light is completely drowned out by the bright light of the companion star.

In general, white dwarfs can be observed through spectroscopy and gravitational wave detection systems to lock in their data. Of course, it is impossible to obtain the true face of a white dwarf by these means, unless it is possible to collect the surface pattern of the white dwarf by relying on ultra-precision optical telescopes.

But the white dwarf was wrapped in air currents, and it was impossible to show its details, and the patrol boat naturally had nothing to do with the white dwarf, so it could only follow the plan and plunge headlong into the dazzling white light.

About a million kilometers away from the white dwarf, the patrol boat released a large number of reconnaissance satellites to monitor the white dwarf in real time, while it itself resolutely flew towards the Earth-sized celestial body.

The further you fly in, the greater the gravitational pull, but the speed of the patrol boat does not decrease due to the increase in gravitational pull. According to theoretical calculations, the surface material and particle flow protective layer of the patrol boat are not enough to resist the terrifying gravitational pull of the white dwarf, and it is possible that the patrol boat will be twisted by the terrible tidal force soon after penetrating the limit of the white dwarf Loch, until it is stretched into a long strip, spinning and falling into the white dwarf, where it is assimilated into countless hydrogen.

However, the patrol boat relies on its high-speed performance to achieve a "hard landing" on the surface of the white dwarf!

After rushing into the critical point of 500,000 kilometers, the fate of the patrol boat's collision was irreversible, and the protective layer of particles on its surface had begun to shake violently, releasing a terrifying light, which, together with the white air currents around it, completely engulfed it.

At this point, the patrol boat could not change the fate of the collision in any way, it was already deep in the gravitational trap of the white dwarf, rolling inexorably down the "smooth" space.

In such an environment of huge fluctuations in space, it is impossible to turn on the curvature engine of the patrol boat. Unless you have an extremely large amount of energy, it is impossible to distort space and spread out the curvature of navigation.

At the beginning, the curvature navigation experiment could be carried out in the center of the noodle star, because the gravitational trap of the noodle star is relatively "shallow" and the fluctuations in space are not large, so even in the center of the earth, the curvature navigation can be carried out.

Celestial bodies above the stellar level have "deep" gravitational traps, and the energy required to exit them is extremely high, and the fluctuations in space are also extremely high, so it is extremely difficult to navigate with curvature.

With the current technology of the Longteng civilization, it is not enough to develop the curvature of such an extreme celestial body, but some people have taken the opportunity to put forward the idea of spatial transmission of wormholes, and relevant research institutes have discussed it, but it has not achieved any results.

The patrol boat continued to move forward, countless tons of white air rushing through the protective layer of the particle stream, scattering and destroying it, leaving only the bare picomi material to withstand the double blow of gravity and material washing.

However, the energy consumption inside the patrol boat has risen like a rocket, one of its dark energy engines has been overwhelmed, and the other dark energy engine can only work overtime, but it cannot stabilize the energy consumption of the patrol boat at all.

The distance of 500,000 kilometers can be traversed in seven seconds for a patrol boat, but at this time it is as far away as the moon, and the gravitational wave detection system can see the huge body of the white dwarf, but at this time it is as far away as the moon in the sky.

Time seems to have frozen, and the patrol boat can only fly on its own, regardless of the sword mountain and the sea of fire. A dark energy engine has stalled, and some of Picomi's shell has been damaged, but its detection system is still intact, like a pair of shining eyes, frantically collecting and transmitting information about the white dwarf.

Soon, it was the last second of flight, and the white air currents had changed, and they spun rapidly on the surface of the white dwarf, condensing into a high-density, high-heat hydrogen mass, millions of degrees of heat almost ignited them, and burst into a nova light with its instability.

But after all, they were still a breath away, and the hydrogen gas mass inside was further compressed by the terrifying gravity on the surface of the white dwarf, and honestly attached to the surface of the white dwarf, and the other hydrogen gas masses followed suit, quickly compressed, and its terrifying heat was gradually swallowed by the dim white dwarf.

The conditions for a nova explosion are not ripe, and the white dwarf can only gradually assimilate the hydrogen on the surface to improve its own mass. The amount of carbon on its body can't wait, waiting to cross the tipping point of Chandrasekhar, when its electron degeneracy can no longer resist the terrifying gravity, further collapse is inevitable, and it will eventually burst into the power of an Ia supernova.

It will be the king of sweeping hundreds of light-years around it in the future, and now it is also a powerhouse that shocks the star system, but I didn't expect an uninvited guest to be able to carry its gravity and crash into it.

The patrol boat was already scarred, the last spare dark energy engine had been scrapped, the Pimi robot was replenished at a rate far from being consumed, and the Pimi material on the surface had been torn apart, but it still stubbornly crossed the last 80,000 kilometers and crashed into the white dwarf!
