Chapter 110: The ...... of the Billion-Year Locking Star Capsule
The dark tide surges the constant purple disk, and the mass energy transforms and the void multiplies.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The young blue star is enveloped in an eerie darkness, like a broken blue crescent moon hanging in the sky, making people feel indescribably dead and desolate, and the giant corpse left behind by the red giant: the large cone-shaped hydrogen cloud gives a terrifying feeling.
What kind of force can destroy this binary star system to such an extent in the past few hundred million years?
"The dormant mode of the latent signal cell seems to be executed a little too thoroughly......" Xinglan smiled bitterly, looking at the remnants of the red giant star that seemed to be pulled into a cone by the gravitational pull of the blue star, "Even a whole star didn't react because it went out unexpectedly, and I didn't find it until now......"
In the face of such a strange situation, Xinglan didn't dare to let 5.5 get close to the star, it was too risky, and she cared more about the blue star that was becoming chaotic under the oppression than the red giant star, what was that black substance? It can wrap around an entire star and gradually cause it to spiral out of control......
After confirming that Xiao Mystery Xin was not in a big deal but was in a coma for a short time, the signal cells surrounding the spaceship quickly converged with the signals gushing out of the star, replenished enough energy to converge near the spacecraft, and then connected in a specific order to form an invisible giant telescope...... Or rather, in fact, a photon capture net.
Like a real lens, the signal particles rotate and deform into denser and denser multi-layered capture areas, increasing the resolution and pouring a large amount of information into the mental network, transforming it into clearer and clearer image information.
The mysterious object that seemed to be as dark as the background of the universe from a distance was not so completely black, and after the continuous enlargement of the picture, a dark earth that appeared in front of Xinglan's eyes was like the solidification of volcanic magma.
Yes, the earth. The surface of the dark shell that envelops most of this huge blue star is not completely smooth, and although the uneven places seem inconspicuous, when you actually stand on it, you can see a vast expanse of mountains and mountains...... Much larger than the surface of any planet.
It's a turbulent land, and every impact from the stellar force at the bottom causes it to bulge in large chunks, but this massive object is not rocky and stubborn, but full of resilience. As soon as the impact below recedes, it bounces back again, like a loose band, with the result of a violent undulation far greater than that of a magnitude 10 earthquake.
"It's not a mechanical ......," Xinglan concluded with certainty, "There are no regular surfaces, and those undulating patterns don't show any logical laws, but I've really never seen anything like this......"
The shaky black earth moves rapidly in the frame, and it is strange that even after such a great stretch, the materials show no signs of crumbling and cracking, but are still tightly connected, seemingly completely contrary to fluid dynamics, leaving no gaps like the surface of a liquid.
Until a strange color flashes through the picture......
"What was that?" Xing Lan was startled, and hurriedly manipulated the signal to turn the perspective in the direction just now, "That color...... Could it be this thing? What is it? ”
A purple disc appeared so abruptly in the signal son's field of vision, that the pattern as if it were the most delicate work of art was tightly wound around its smooth and immaculate surface, decorated like a museum exhibit of Chinese beauty.
"Civilization creation, this can't be a natural ......" Xinglan bit her lip and carefully looked at the strange flying creature that appeared above the black shell of the star, "completely incomprehensible form......"
A strange and translucent curtain shrouds the surface of the disc with no propulsion device visible, and it is impossible to guess any possible composition of it from its appearance alone. The purple disk, which was about three or four hundred meters in diameter, was silently suspended at a steady height, silently staring at the undulating black strange substance below, like a silent bystander.
Xinglan didn't dare to stare at the place too much, and after recording the coordinates, she began to continue to turn the camera to look at the other positions on the black shell, and soon, the second, the third...... As the screen nears the edge of the shell, dozens of identical-looking strange flying machines are spotted, all floating silently above the stars like silent bystanders.
The temperature on the surface of this young blue star is quite high, but for some reason this heat is completely blocked by the black shell, and the temperature of the outer surface of the shell can be analyzed from the spectrum, which is basically constant at about 100 degrees...... That's a rather outlandish number.
If the temperature is as high as 1,000 degrees, then it is certain that the shell does not completely block the heat from the star, but it is only extremely heat-resistant. If the temperature drops to more than -100 degrees Celsius, then it is likely that the structure of the crust is similar to that of rock, and the thickness of the shell almost completely blocks the heat from the star.
But its temperature is more than 100 degrees, a strange temperature that is ultra-low relative to a stellar flame and super-high relative to the cosmic vacuum.
"It feels as if the outside temperature here is deliberately constant in this state...... "Xinglan muttered suspiciously, after seeing those strange purple discs, she had completely ruled out the possibility of natural causes of the star to produce such changes, and began to think about these questions from the perspective of a civilized race, "Although it doesn't feel like a machine at all, but what if...... A more interesting question arises simply if this shell is able to absorb the enormous amount of energy emitted by the stars below to keep the upper surface and even the whole in a stable temperature range......"
Absorbing thousands of degrees of heat, but only maintaining an environment of about 100 degrees Celsius, such a huge contrast, what about the excess energy? Where does that excess absorbed energy go?
When the picture really shifted to the edge of the black shells, and the bright blue flames of the stars came into view, Xinglan had to give up the long-distance observation...... The brilliance of the stars was too bright for her to distinguish the details of the edges, and the natural light, which was completely disordered, could not be filtered out by fixed polarization.
The remaining signalns in the star are moving again, absorbing enough energy to break away from the scorching sea of fire and begin to move upwards, finally touching the mysterious shell distributed on the surface of the star after about tens of thousands of kilometers.
The all-round three-dimensional perspective shows the most realistic picture in front of Xinglan.
"This shell is actually ......"
The huge black shell that is large enough to cover the star is only a dozen kilometers thick from the edge, which is almost negligible in relation to its area. However, at this cross-section, the signal observed an extremely terrifying scene.
Wriggling, twisting, spreading!
The black unidentified object does not have the solid texture of a rock, but is constantly writhing like a gelatinous shape, spreading towards uncovered areas at a speed visible to the naked eye. When watching these black waves surging and constantly impacting and engulfing everything, Xinglan couldn't help but feel that this was indeed a terrifying picture like hell.
"It's spreading! And it's a constant proliferation! ”
If you zoom in to the whole star, this scene is like a still photograph, only a giant blue moon with a broken and broken blue moon can be seen, but once you look closely, you will know how terrifying these black things are, they are like marching ants on the earth, like the black sea lapping at them.
But it's far more terrifying than that.
The black shell does not directly touch the surface of the star, and through the perspective of the signal pron, Xinglan can see that even this highly heat-resistant substance cannot directly withstand the heat of the star. Whenever a large wave from a star hits the lower surface of the shell, some of the material is vaporized and evaporated, but the rest of the material quickly squirms and expands rapidly, repopulating these mutilated areas.
In the darkness of space, there is nothing to devour except scattered particles, but those black shells can be created out of nothing, expanding their territory in the empty vacuum, gradually obscuring the remnants of the star.
"No, it can't be out of nowhere, there must be a reasonable explanation, ah yes, it's better to say ......" Xinglan suddenly realized something, and couldn't help but shout out in shock, "Those excess energy absorbed from the planet!" It's a mass-energy conversion! It's constantly converting energy into matter and growing itself in it! ”
The disparity between matter and energy is staggering, making the average person's first reaction to this mass conversion energy example, such as nuclear reaction and antimatter collision, and in comparison, it seems too cost-effective to use energy to solidify matter. But how much energy does a star produce?
Even if the nuclear reaction converts only a tiny part of the mass of matter, the sheer size of the star determines that millions of tons of mass are converted into energy every second, and even if only a small part is actually captured, the conversion ratio is extremely low, and in the end it can still produce a terrible mass increase!
"What's more, I don't believe that the conversion rate of this guy's reaction will be so low......" In a trance, Xinglan seemed to understand something, muttering to herself, "It turned out to be only a small part, and then it has been absorbing the energy of the star to expand itself, and as the area grows, the absorbed energy also increases, and as a result, the area increases faster and faster, so that this amazing scale that obscures most of the stars is produced?" ”
"The upper surface temperature is always around 100 degrees...... I should have thought of it a long time ago, body temperature, this is a constant body temperature! Xinglan controlled the direction of the ship slowly turned around at Five-Five, and her tone was full of solemnity, "There is no regular appearance, because you are indeed not a machine, but an incomparably large ...... Creature! ”
"It can withstand ultra-high temperatures and huge tearing forces, can absorb light energy to grow itself, and eventually completely engulf the star and become a living Dyson sphere, even if the process takes hundreds of millions of years, it is a terrifying creature." Unconsciously clenching her fists, Xing Lan watched a large string of coordinate data slide in front of her, "Although I don't know what the purpose of those obviously technological creations is, and I don't know your specific origin, but sure enough, let's choose a name first, after all, it's the second space creature I've ever seen, and it's such a powerful creature." ”
"I'll call you...... Lock the star capsule. ”
