Chapter 321: Black Dwarf

For the Starry Sky Cowboy, which is capable of reaching 60 light-years per regular jump, 38 light-years is not too far. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf he wasn't afraid of wasting time, Zhou Bocai even planned to take everyone to sail over at the highest curvature.

Only two hours after the course was determined, the Starry Sky Cowboy opened the jump window and entered hyperspace, and by the time everyone returned to normal space again, it had already arrived at the target galaxy.

The "Toot Toot ......" sirens sounded briefly, and the entire crew of the Starry Sky Cowboy was fully prepared for the upcoming battle. There is no reason why an area that was a focal point of contention two hundred years ago should not continue to be garrisoned by the fleet. Regardless of which side wins the war, the victorious side will certainly garrison the system to consolidate its victory.

The Starry Sky Cowboy is a completely unfamiliar existence to both sides of the war, and there is no reason for others to be kind to the Starry Sky Cowboy, and it is more likely that regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, shoot a brick first and then speak. And it is obvious that neither Zhou Bocai nor the other members of the cowboy squad are the masters who can't fight back and scold back.

"The fire control group is ready, the assault group is ready, the defense department is ready, the logistics department is ready, the damage control team is ready......" information was collected from all over the Starry Sky Cowboy, and at the same time, the Starry Sky Cowboy was also armed into a fire-breathing hedgehog, ready to tear the enemy to pieces at any time.

"What's going on?" The scene in front of them was really beyond the expectations of the cowboy squad. The expected overwhelming enemy was not encountered, and perhaps should have been, but now it is the wreckage of ruins scattered throughout the star system. Fragments, countless fragments of battleships connected into pieces of meteorite iron scattered around the Starry Sky Cowboy.

What's even stranger is that the entire galaxy is completely dark, as if there are no stars in the galaxy.

"A galaxy without stars?" While at the helm, Zhang Jianwu asked in surprise.

"It's not that there are no stars, it's that the stars of this star system don't shine," Zhou Bocai pouted and said.

"A star that doesn't shine is still called a star?"

"It's a black dwarf. Although this kind of star is not common, it is still real, and I didn't expect us to encounter it today. This is really a big baby, I didn't expect this guy Gu Ruian to really have a set" Ding Weijian was excited.

"Black dwarfs are celestial bodies formed by the cooling of white dwarfs, the internal heavy element fusion reactions are all gone, the atoms begin to collapse, and the density of the stars is very huge, ranging from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of millions of tons per cubic centimeter. With no energy supply, the star has gradually cooled down, forming dense black dwarfs.

At the center of this galaxy is a black dwarf. This thing is definitely a treasure, although it can't be used with our technology, but when it comes out, isn't there a mission on the official website of the fleet, and there is a reward for discovering dense stars. Black dwarfs are definitely a dense star.

This discovery is all up to Gurion, and when the leader is paid, we have to reward her well" The Cowboy Squad discovered the Black Dwarf because of Gurion, which made Zhou Bocai feel that Gurion was definitely a baby, in order to prevent Gurian from being poached by the rival Bull Squad, he had to win over people's hearts next.

"It's rare to find a black dwarf, should we send a few probes to find out? Anyway, there is nothing to do now, and the next thing is to salvage the remains of the battlefield and recycle some scrap metal and hoard it. During this period, we can completely sort out the information of the black dwarf, which is a rare opportunity.

Besides, this is the first time the fleet has encountered a black dwarf since it set sail. We've found a lot of white dwarfs along the way, and black dwarfs are still unique. I think that the astronomers of the Academy of Fleet Sciences are still very interested in the information of black dwarfs, and maybe they can make a lot of profits," Zhou Bo, who has made a lot of money, began to prepare for open source.

Seeing that everyone did not object, Zhou Bocai immediately gave Qin Na an order to explore the black dwarf. It didn't take long for more than a dozen unmanned probes to be launched from the ejection channel and in a very short time they flew over a distance of 1.6 billion kilometers via small warp engines to the vicinity of the black dwarf.

"The temperature is 217 degrees Celsius, the diameter is preliminarily calculated to be about 1,500 kilometers, the density of black dwarfs is too large, it has caused space warping, it is impossible to estimate for the time being, the rotation speed is not very fast, and it can even be said to be very slow. Under normal circumstances, a white dwarf will gradually evolve into a neutron star with an acceleration of rotation, and it is not known why this black dwarf has stopped evolving. But this has nothing to do with us, let's start collecting data on black dwarfs" Just a cursory look at the information collected, Zhou Bocai no longer had the slightest interest in it, and instead turned his attention to resource recycling.

Outside the Starry Sky Cowboy, two 15-kilometer-long small industrial ships and more than 300 200-meter-long small tugboats are desperately busy, towing the wreckage of the warship and other metal resources to the industrial ship, which are processed and then converted into various metal elements and stored for wartime production of parts and components for unmanned fighters.

These metals seem to be completely at the smelting level of a fourth-level civilization, and they have not even carried out the basic energy field fine-tuning process, and the materials are frighteningly poor. The simple versions of the unmanned fighters produced on the Starry Sky Cowboy are made of much more robust and stable metal than the alloys that act as the outer armor of the battleship.

However, now is not the time for picky eaters, and the wreckage of warships in the entire star system occupies a full distance of more than a billion kilometers, almost reaching the distance from Earth to Jupiter. And these debris are not distributed in a flat manner, the whole is a large area, denser than the asteroid belt.

As long as all these metal resources can be collected, in the next year, the Star Cowboy will no longer lack low-grade metal supplements. Too much metal to put down? It doesn't matter, it's all made into external armor and hung on the surface of the Starry Sky Cowboy.

In space, there is no problem of load at all, and theoretically warships can be built as infinitely large as building blocks, as long as they can shield the gravitational pull of the planet. The original Karen Freeport was able to fit tens of thousands of kilometers of cargo ships, and the trouble that the cowboy team is experiencing now is not worth mentioning at all.

There is no way to take it away, so it can only be temporarily discarded here, and when I turn around, I will sell the galaxy here to a private salvage company, which is another good harvest. Recycling scrap metal is easier than mining in an asteroid belt.

"The No. 13 probe has lost contact" Just as everyone was silently estimating the benefits of this time, Qin Na's voice sounded beside Zhou Bocai. A probe is a more flexible detection tool than a detector. Of course, this is compared with the products of the Star Cowboy War Factory, in fact, both the probe and the probe are all imitated by the Star Cowboy War Factory itself, and the function of the genuine product is much more powerful.

The Star Cowboy is also capable of producing high-performance detectors, but because most of the detectors are one-time consumables, it is completely unnecessary to spend a lot of precious metal resources to manufacture high-performance detectors in batches, so the Cowboy Squad requires everything to be simple. If you really need to use it, there is no shortage of high-end equipment stored inside the Star Cowboy.

The probe was released the next moment the Starry Sky Cowboy arrived in the star system, and has now arrived in the Oort Nebula region of the planet, where it is on alert cruise. The loss of contact with the No. 13 probe is not a small problem.

Although the probe is also an inferior product, but its fifth-level scientific and technological content is there, and the disaster of the meteorite rain level is simply helpless, even the electromagnetic cannon of the fourth-level civilization can be perfectly defended, and the sudden disappearance of the No. 13 probe is obviously a problem.

"Plane No. 7 that went to investigate is also missing," another piece of bad news came over.

"Send a group of Hawkeye II over and let all the operators come back and start preparing for battle! ......" (To be continued.) )
