Chapter 268: The Death of the Star

After listening to Luca No. 2's analysis, Xiao Yu was speechless for a long time.

"According to you, what it will do when it is actually facing death has nothing to do with what it intended in the first place? This...... I've also dabbled in psychology, but I didn't know that there was such a thing in psychology. ”

"Yes, based on our group's survey of more than 100 ethnicities belonging to you, this conclusion is correct and mostly universal." Luca II said, "If you take out the rest of the minutiae and simply calculate the chance that it will kill you or not, and do nothing, your hope of survival is about thirty percent." Of course, the arrival of your companion Ghost Clan, and your previous shielding methods, have lowered this chance a bit, and now it has dropped to about twenty-five percent. ”

Although I don't know whether what Luca II said is true or not, Xiao Yu still tends to believe it. Because Luca No. 2's analysis seemed to be very reasonable, Xiao Yu felt that although he didn't understand what it was talking about, he felt very powerful.

A subject like psychology cannot be represented in terms of explicit data, unlike physics or mathematics, which can be expressed by formulas and there are some connections between the formulas. For this reason, Xiao Yu has not been deeply involved in psychology and other aspects.

At this moment, Xiao Yu once again felt the correctness of his establishment of the Academy of Psychology and Social Sciences.

"This odds are still a little too low." Xiao Yu shook his head, "I hope that through my own efforts, the 25% chance will be increased a little more." Even if I only improve a little, it means that my efforts have paid off. This feeling of putting your fate completely in someone else's hands and letting someone else manipulate it. I don't like it very much. ”

"But sometimes, if you don't do anything, you will reap the most haode results. I don't think that your success rate in destroying this star's jihua will be higher than this jihua. My advice is, ignore your companion Ghost Clan and don't take any action. Wait quietly, leave life and death to the true God to decide. ”

"No, teacher, I don't agree with you." At this time. Jason stood up and expressed his opinion. "I can't help but be impressed by your rich experience and experience in your psychological analysis of the aging ghost clan before his death, but I don't think that simply waiting is the best way to go. We...... Perhaps a two-way approach could be adopted. Destroying the star Jihua may expose us, but the Jihua itself will increase our survival rate. If you think about it comprehensively. If the Murlian civilization really has the technology to destroy a star, then. Our hope for survival. It will be raised to about 40 percent. It's worth a try. ”

In the face of his own teacher and the undoubted authority of the psychosocial scientists, Jason did not flinch, but bravely expressed his opinion.

Luca II was not angry at the student's rebuttal. It looked at its students appreciatively and said, "Maybe you're right." No matter what. In the end, how to do it is left to the master to choose, and we just provide a reference for the master. ”

Xiao Yu pondered silently, weighing the pros and cons among these options.

"Go back to the Heavens first. After going back. I'm going to do another shroud strength test on top of Heaven, and in this test, you're going to pass on this brand new dictionary to Lukka III and Lukka IV, as well as to a few of the rest of the most brilliant scientists in the scientific Jishu family. I need their wisdom. This is the biggest difficulty we have encountered, and this difficulty must be achieved by our concerted efforts, and with the wisdom of everyone, we can overcome it. ”

"Haode, master, then we will take our leave." The four psychosocial scientists, led by Luca II, stood up, said goodbye to Xiao Yu, and then came to the hatch. There, Xiao Yu had already prepared the transport spaceship for them.

After the four scientists left, Xiao Yu sighed a little tiredly.

"The current situation is really chaotic. There are dangers everywhere, there are crises everywhere, and in this chaos, I must make the most accurate choice in order to have the chance to fight for that glimmer of life. In fact, even if there is no Luca II's psychological analysis, the hidden jihua must be executed, and what is determined at present is to destroy the star jihua, whether it should be executed or not. ”

"This requires an assessment. I need to know what the odds of the Murlian civilization having stellar destruction technology are, and if it's worth the risk. If, after I ventured into contact attempts, I found out that they didn't have this technology, it would not only be a wasted effort, but would also reduce my chances of survival by a few points. ”

"Although I already have a rough assessment in mind, ...... Let's be cautious and listen to Lucca's three and four. Xiao Yu thought.

Xiao Yu's vast fleet was still calm as usual. In the planetary base, the Central Academy of Sciences, thousands of scientists are still busy conducting scientific research, and the various bases scattered around the planet are still roaring all the time, constantly producing a large amount of resources. Everything is still thriving, but Xiao Yu knows that above this thriving scene, a dark cloud is quietly shrouding over.

Xiao Yu is trying his best to disguise that everything is normal. All kinds of daily research work is still carried out as usual, but Xiao Yu found that under such circumstances, it is impossible for him to calm down and carry out data analysis and scientific research and development work. In desperation, Xiao Yu could only sigh and give up the idea of continuing to work.

In the face of Heaven's shroud strength test, under this full-band interference, the interception from the aging ghost clan will be cut off, and Lukka II will take this opportunity to pass on the new dictionary to several of the most prominent scientific Jishu scientists, including Lukka III and IV.

Xiao Yu was waiting for Luca 3 to take the initiative to contact him.

Xiao Yu didn't wait too long. Three hours after the Heaven's shield strength test ended, Xiao Yu received a communication request from Lukka III.

"Master, I have some updates to you on the progress of MaterialScience." Luca III said.

The message was unremarkable, but after Xiao Yu used a new dictionary to decipher it, its meaning became completely different.

"Master, I already know the current situation."

"Do you have a new dictionary?" Xiao Yu thought silently, and also used the deciphering method of the new dictionary to send a message: "Summoning Luca Four, and the other three scientists to the conference room." I have some questions that I would like to discuss with you. ”

"Haode, please wait." Luca III replied.

Five minutes later, among all the racial scientists representing Xiao Yu, the five most outstanding scientists of the scientific Jishu department arrived. All five of these people have mastered the new dictionary.

"It's likely that our communication is being monitored, so I'm asking that all of our communication in this room be done in a new dictionary way. I need you to help me make an assessment of the current level of technology of the Murlian civilization, what is the probability that they will have the technology to destroy a star? ”

Several scientists from the science department glanced at each other, and Luca III was the first to speak: "Master, I don't understand a little, what kind of destruction method do you mean by the technology of destroying stars?" ”

"I want a star that is not massive enough to have a supernova explosion, and a technology that dies in the form of a supernova explosion." Xiao Yu replied, "It's like the Heavenly Yuan Four that was destroyed by the Guardian Civilization. ”

"Is that so......" The scientists thought as they looked down.

"To make a star with a mass not massive enough for a supernova explosion to die as a supernova explosion...... This involves the question of the supernova explosion mechanism. Luca IV groaned slowly, trying to think.

A supernova explosion is an extremely violent way of stellar death. Stars that can explode as supernova will leave at least one neutron star after they die. A star of mass such as the Sun is not eligible for a supernova explosion.

As we all know, stars use nuclear fusion as a source of energy, and under the condition of high temperature and high pressure, the core of the star will undergo nuclear fusion, and the elements that make up the star will fuse from hydrogen to helium, and then from helium to carbon, and then oxygen and neon, according to the order of the elements from light to heavy, all the way to the fusion of iron.

In this fusion process, heavier elements require higher pressures and temperatures to produce fusion. This causes the interior of the star to split into layers like an onion, and the further you go to the core of the star, the heavier the elements involved in the fusion.

This is the end of the process after the fusion of iron at the very core of the massive star. Because the fusion of iron does not release energy, but absorbs it. And so something catastrophic happened. Because the core loses the support of energy, the outer structure of the star will fall rapidly to the inner layer. This process is extremely rapid, and in fact, the rate at which these stellar material falls inward can reach extremely close to the speed of light.

The sudden collapse causes an extremely strong release of energy, and in the process, the entire star explodes. It was blown to pieces, and only the core of a neutron star or black hole that was squeezed into a neutron star could exist, and all the rest of the matter would be turned into pieces and blown into the void of space.

The life of a star is over. (To be continued......)
