Chapter 352: The Collapsed Superstar

Strange star field, no one knows where this is. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The star map stored in the mothership's super brain has completely lost all its significance as a reference here. Loneliness, emptiness, darkness, and coldness have become the eternal tones of the universe, and only a bright star not far ahead can make people feel slightly warmer.

It is a huge blue giant, hundreds of thousands of times the size of the Sun and millions of times brighter than the Sun, almost reaching the limit of what a star can exist. Blue giants are young stars in the universe with the largest volume, the strongest brightness, and the hottest heat...... It reaches the limit of what a star can reach in almost every way.

However, the blue giant star is very unstable, and the large size and too violent fusion reaction make the blue giant star bear the danger of falling apart every moment. Compared to yellow dwarfs like the Sun, which have a lifespan of tens of billions of years, blue giants rarely have a lifespan of more than 20 million years, and 20 million years is not much different from two minutes on a scale like the universe.

Most blue giants explode and disintegrate after a certain amount of internal nuclear reactions, and soon after, new, more stable stars grow up in the remnants of the blue giants, becoming yellow dwarfs with longer lives and more stable burning, like the Sun, or a giant cluster or nebula.

If nothing else, the blue giant star in front of him will also follow the old path of his predecessors, but because of an accident, the fate of the blue giant star has changed dramatically.

I don't know when it started, maybe two days ago, or just a moment. The violently burning blue giant star suddenly contracted and beat like a heart.

"Knock knock! Knock knock! Knock knock! "The contraction and diastolic frequency of the blue giant star is getting faster and faster, and the amplitude is getting larger and larger, and even in the later stage, the whole blue giant star has been completely deformed, and even the basic spherical shape can not be maintained, and it has become an ellipsoid or even a cone and other shapes. But even so, the entire blue giant star did not disintegrate and collapse, and was still beating with a strong thump.

The blue giant's violent reaction disturbed the surrounding space, and the fluctuations in the space were like throwing a pebble onto the surface of a calm lake. At the beginning, the fluctuations of the entire space were still very weak, but with the superposition of power, this fluctuation became more and more powerful, and even a fifth-level civilization that had just come into contact with space technology thousands of light years away could easily detect it.

The frequency of "dong ......" was suddenly broken, and at this moment, the blue giant star first beat violently, and then contracted sharply. In a short time, perhaps less than an hour, the blue giant, which has a diameter of more than a billion kilometers, began to collapse rapidly. From hundreds of millions of kilometers to hundreds of thousands of kilometers of stars like the sun, and then continue to shrink, and the rate of shrinkage is getting faster and faster.

As it shrinks, its brightness does not immediately decrease, but becomes brighter, as if a new superstar explosion has occurred. However, this process lasted for a very short time, and after only a short burst, the blue giant star decreased in brightness, and finally went out directly, and even the basic nuclear reaction disappeared, turning into a hot brown dwarf.

But this is not the end, the blue giant that has become a brown dwarf continues to collapse, becoming smaller and smaller in size, until it finally disappears completely. This is a celestial body operation that is enough to collapse the worldview of all celestial physicists of all civilizations below level seven, and no civilization has ever observed such a strange astronomical phenomenon.

One circumstance that can also produce a similar astronomical image is the sudden appearance of a massive black hole in the core of a blue giant star. Only a black hole's enormous devouring power can swallow a star clean. But that still doesn't explain why the blue giant star disappeared.

Because if it is a black hole, then the origin of the black hole cannot be explained. Because there are no gravity anomalies around the blue giant, there is no so-called black hole horizon. And its devouring speed is also a huge problem. Even with the engulfing power of a black hole, it would take a long time to completely engulf a blue giant star, and this time would even take tens of thousands of years.

However, it took less than two days for the huge blue giant star in front of me to disappear completely. In less than two days, the blue giant star, which could have burned steadily for tens of millions of years or more, and even if it collapsed, it could still form new star systems and even star clusters in its wreckage, disappeared without a trace. Nothing was left behind where the blue giant had disappeared, an empty space, indistinguishable from the void between galaxies.

No, if you look closely, you'll see that there's something left of the place where the blue giant star disappeared. It was a pale yellow ball, the size of a baby's fist, with a dim glow. If you don't look closely, these rays of light will even be simply ignored. The orb flickered continuously, and the light gradually dimmed until it disappeared completely. The yellow sphere has also completely turned into an ordinary stone that is indistinguishable from ordinary meteorites.

The white mist slowly appears near the sphere, which is relatively diffuse at first, and as time increases, the white mist becomes denser and denser, and eventually even has a tendency to change to a liquid state. The fog is eerie and does not spread indefinitely. Of course, because there is no wind in space, even the spread speed does not increase much.

The white fog covered a diameter of 300,000 kilometers before stopping, then gradually dissipating and slowly disappearing. After the white mist completely disappeared, a large fleet emerged from the white mist. The most conspicuous in the fleet are eighty slender ships with a length of up to 10,000 kilometers.

The front end of the ship is in the shape of an elongated bullet, and behind it is a smooth and flat hull, like a slender iron rod. At the stern of the ship is a huge array of energy propulsion engines, each of which has reached a diameter of hundreds of meters, and the diameter of the entire propulsion engine array has reached a terrifying area of two hundred and fifty kilometers.

"Knock knock knock ......" The circle of spouts slowly lit up with blue light, and the energy tail flame became more and more hot, and finally even dragged out a bright tail flame of thousands of kilometers behind the spaceship, which looked like a huge match burning in the dark universe.

The speed of the fleet became faster and faster as the engines were turned on, and after completing the change of direction, the huge fleet began to move towards its destination, gradually disappearing...... (To be continued.) )
