The gravitational balance point shattered the star island, and the celestial sphere pattern curled with white smoke.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hundreds of millions of years have passed, and celestial-level creatures are gradually eating away at stellar life......

It looks amazing on the outside, but after seeing through the life pattern of the Locked Star Sac, Xinglan does not see it as a threat again, but completely appreciates it as a simple cosmic wonder.

The reason is simple, even if the Locking Capsule does have the ability to destroy stars, the process is simply too long. Based on the rate at which it uses a huge surface area to absorb light energy and convert it into mass, it is clear that this process has been going on for hundreds of millions of years, and the growth rate of the first small area can be seen from the ratio of energy to matter.

Even if Xinglan only had one star as the main body, it would be easy to destroy it in the early stages when the Locking Capsule had just begun to grow, and even if the Locking Capsule had already surrounded the entire star, it would not be difficult to destroy it...... Its area is amazing, but the energy obtained from the star is limited after all, so the corresponding volume in the early stage will not be too large, so the conclusion is that even if the lock capsule grows to the extent that it is about to completely wrap the star, its thickness will not increase much, and the thickness growth will probably be carried out after the star is completely enveloped, so for this kind of existence that can be destroyed by direct contact with plasma flames, only a signal can control the whole star to riot very slightly, It is natural to continue to shoot out flames and burn the shell.

Of course, natural stars do not have consciousness of their own, and even eruptions at the peak of their activity cannot completely remove the external locking sacs as consciously controlled by intelligent beings, and these broken holes will be quickly filled by the self-proliferation of organisms.

As for the lock star capsule, will it take conscious countermeasures? Xinglan was convinced that this was impossible. In fact, compared to ordinary animals, Xinglan thinks that the sac is more like a sponge or a creature like coral, cutting off any small piece can survive and grow, there is no clear organ division of the whole body, and you can even classify it as a plant with a more extreme photosynthesis method!

Therefore, Xinglan will not be afraid of the creature of the Lock Star Capsule at all, and she is mainly concerned about several questions: How did the Lock Star Capsule appear here? Is it pure natural drifting or is it driven by some external force? How did the red giant star next to it be destroyed? This method of dying after shattering and condensing into a cone-shaped hydrogen cloud is obviously not the effect of the Locking Capsule, not to mention that Xinglan has every reason to believe that the creature of the Locking Capsule will definitely prefer blue stars to red giants that are large but not as bright as the former.

There is also the most fundamental question, and it is also the one that makes Xinglan feel a sense of crisis: what are those mysterious purple disks suspended above the locking star sac and wrapped in a translucent curtain?

It's never possible to come up with the right answer just by meditating here, which means that close encounters with those mysterious objects will happen sooner or later, but Xinglan still thinks it's better to gather more information before then, after all, it's always good to know all the information here.

She didn't even send the signalbolts to scan those strange purple discs at close range, and although she was confident in the signaln's concealment ability, Xinglan's cautious attitude made Xinglan give up the rhythm of reckless probing. Nothing in this world is invincible, even if it seems to be extremely hidden, and can spread in large numbers across galaxies, as was fully confirmed when dark energy invaded the network of signalsubs to mutate them synchronously.

After not getting any more useful information from the blue star for a while, Xinglan was naturally ready to explore the remnants of the red giant star on the other side of the binary star system, but before that, she was going to use an optical detector to observe the magnetic ring.

Yes, the magnetic ring, but to be honest, Xinglan is not optimistic about the possibility that the magnetic ring island still exists, not to mention that the extinguishing of the red giant star has long since disappeared the magnetic field hedging situation between the two stars, and the fact that the magnetic ring island was once above the gravitational equilibrium between the two stars is almost a death sentence: the red giant shattered and the nuclear reaction was extinguished, and the residual hydrogen gas cloud was stretched into a sharp cone by the gravitational pull of the blue star. In this environment, the gravitational field here must have undergone a seismic change, and the probability that the magnetic ring island will not be torn apart is simply the same as the probability that an advanced civilization will forcibly demolish the earth in order to build an interstellar hyperspace highway...... Ahem, it's far away.

There is no clear positioning reference frame in the vast starry sky, and even Xinglan can't determine where the coordinates of the magnetic ring island are back then, because even the binary star system itself is moving rapidly in the universe, but she still barely calculates the position of the Lagrange point in this state, and then controls the signal to turn the perspective over.

……

There is a large, magnificent and incomparably complex pattern, and its shape distribution may seem irregular, but when you zoom it in on a part, you will be surprised to find that this part looks exactly like the whole, and the more amazing thing is yet to come, this part can be subdivided and you can find the same pattern again, and so on endlessly.

This is the mysterious phenomenon of self-symmetry that fractal studies, and when this picture actually appears on a macroscopic scale, it will be a spectacular and beautiful phenomenon that can shock people's hearts.

Xinglan believed this, because she really saw this kind of scene in reality: every detail in a gorgeous and intricate pattern was infinitely magnified, like two mirrors facing each other, reflecting the infinite world in the finite.

Although it was clear that a large part of the rock had broken apart, the magnetic ring island was still at the delicate point of gravity that had been re-established, except that all of its previous brilliant bands of light and magnetic field effects had subsided, and were encased in layers of a huge spherical three-dimensional pattern. Stylistically speaking, this pattern is like the pattern on those purple discs, but it exists in the cosmic vacuum in an unsupported environment, stable and gorgeous, and the three dimensions are connected end to end to form a huge sphere that rotates slowly, like a grand stereoscopic projection movie projecting in the starry sky.

I don't know if it's good news or bad news, but compared to the completely unjurious composition, Xinglan can at least clearly observe the source of this spherical pattern, because above it is extremely conspicuously suspended a purple disk, a super huge purple disk.

That's right, it's almost identical in shape to those purple disks on the surface of blue stars, except that it's even more massive in diameter, reaching hundreds of kilometers! The same magnificence pattern as the small discs carved a mysterious pattern on its surface, which was no longer satisfied with even the smooth surface of the material, but extended into the empty space at the edges, forming the massive dynamic three-dimensional spherical pattern below.

It's like a stickman on a paper standing up abruptly, and the ghost on the TV stretching out his pale palm to the real world...... The two-dimensional world and the three-dimensional world seem to be quietly connected here, completely inconsistent with common sense, but there is no sense of disobedience.

In addition, there was not a single trace of propellers or weapons on the surface of the huge purple disk, and its smooth surface was completely integrated, and there were no blemishes to be found.

"It's really bad, this situation reminds me of that troublesome spherical space city......" Xinglan felt more and more entangled, the situation here completely exceeded her expectations, "but in terms of appearance, the technological strength of this civilization is not estimated to be low, or even far higher than the civilizations encountered before, will that kind of locking star sac have anything to do with them?" ”

Although the signal has not been able to find the smallest size of the fractal pattern, when the image is magnified hundreds of times again, Xinglan suddenly found something strange: "This is ...... What is it? ”

Faint white flocculents gradually appeared in the picture, which were some strange objects that were like silk threads that were scattered almost irregularly in the starry sky, but Xinglan knew very well that what could be seen on this scale was at least a huge aggregate with a length of hundreds of meters, and these silk flocs could not see the shape of the roots, more like the white mist that gathered together by chance in the air, so chaotically distributed.

Completely devoid of its former appearance, the magnetic ring floats silently in a spherical fractal pattern, and in between, there are a large number of these strange white silk flocculent objects. They do not wrap around the magnetic ring island like a cocoon, but extend out of the gaps in the magnetic ring like leaking gas, until they hit the three-dimensional pattern that seals off the space.

Once again, reality proved with great clarity that it was definitely more than an illusory projection, and the astronomical telescope composed of signal pros revealed in detail that the filamentous white objects were firmly bound in this small space by this three-dimensional pattern, and even along this concave surface, they were driven upward by an invisible force to the huge purple disk, which was like the lid of this closed container, sealing all the passages at the top.

"Although in terms of motion form, that kind of matter should not have a fixed structure, but something similar to gas, this level of intelligence still does not analyze what that kind of thing is." Xinglan had to admit that the information that could be analyzed by this simple long-distance observation was quite limited, and because of the strange three-dimensional pattern, she couldn't even be sure if the light coming out of the inside had been distorted.

The most terrifying enemy is not the enemy you know you can't stop, but the unknown that you can't see through.

The emergence of an unknown ultra-high-tech civilization has caused Xinglan to try to use various artificial ideas to judge the changes in this binary star system. For example, the lock star capsule, could it be that this mysterious technological civilization deliberately stocked on the stars? It also fits perfectly in terms of timing, but then the question becomes even stranger, why would they do it? Was the sac an artificially created creature or a natural creature brought from a distant land?

And this behavior seems to be completely meaningless, this living Dyson sphere does not output any energy, almost all of the light energy it absorbs is converted into mass, not to mention that in the same long period of time, the efficiency of extracting energy or obtaining matter with the help of mass production technology equipment far exceeds that of the lock capsule. As for destroying stars? Then the difference in efficiency between the two sides is even more obvious!

Xinglan didn't believe that this civilization with obvious mastery of ultra-high technology would waste resources and time in order to obtain biomaterials that were useless other than heat resistance, strong toughness, and mass-energy conversion capabilities, so what were they for......
