Chapter 681: The King of Stars and Breakthrough

This is the Spider Nebula, one of the most extreme star clusters. The indescribably powerful sun, which was worshipped as a god by ancient humans and gave light and warmth to all living beings on the earth, would only be a small glass ball of inconspicuous light and warmth if placed here.

Stars over a hundred times the mass of the Sun are everywhere here, and huge blue supergiants are everywhere. One of the most extreme stars has a mass of more than 260 times that of the Sun. It is the most massive star in the entire Spider Nebula. It has been observed by humans since the time of human beings on Earth, and it has been given a designation, R136A1. It is the most massive star that has been identified in the entire visible universe that humans can see. Even now, Xiao Yu, who has a long distance of more than 100,000 light years, has not found a star larger than this star.

Excessive visible light radiation caused all of Xiao Yu's optical observation instruments to fail. Xiao Yu could only observe this place through the rest of the detection methods. Through a composite image, Xiao Yu looked at the big guy R136A1, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's really too powerful, it's really beautiful......"

R136a1 is the undisputed king of the stars. And it is impossible for such a huge star to be formed by the collapse of a conventional nebula. In the theory of stellar evolution, the mechanism by which nebulae converge to eventually form stars can only form stars with a maximum mass of 120 solar masses. Because stars have very strong stellar winds in the early stages of formation, and stellar winds will blow away the dust around them, preventing them from converging on them. R136a1 was formed by the collision and fusion of many different stars.

Xiao Yu has simulated the process of the fusion of two stars in the model. In the virtual animation, two stars are orbiting each other, and the gravitational pull of each other causes both stars to deform and become elliptical. As the distance continues to get closer. Eventually, the less massive star is pulled out of a material band by the more massive star, and the material of the smaller star begins to pass through this material band and is continuously transported to the larger star. This process progressed so rapidly that in a very short astronomical time, the small star disappeared and was swallowed up by the big star entirely. The size of the big star is like a balloon that has been blown up, and at the same time, the color has changed to a certain extent.

Xiao Yu believes. R136a1 is most likely the result of the fusion of five or more large stars. According to the criterion that the greater the mass of the star, the shorter the age, Xiao Yu knew that the lifespan of R136A1 could not exceed 10 million years. In a very short astronomical time, R136A1 will end its life with the most powerful explosion. It is estimated that even though the solar system is nearly 200,000 light-years away, it appears from the solar system. R136a1 will still be close to the brightness of the Moon.

Because this is the most magnificent way of star death, the photo-induced metamorphosis into a supernova. After the explosion of a supernova in this form. The stellar core will leave nothing behind. There are no white dwarfs, no neutron stars, no black holes. All the mass that makes it up will be completely dissipated into space.

After quietly observing the scene in the spider nebula and collecting a certain amount of information, Xiao Yu began his work. Scientists from the Academy of Materials Science told Xiao Yu that the microscopic particle polymerization materials necessary for the construction of stellar-class warships. It is likely to be formed during the process of star aggregation, and R136A1 is ejecting a huge amount of material at all times, so collect the material ejected by R136A1. That's where it comes in.

Xiao Yu released a large number of collection equipment and began to collect materials in this world of light, the ocean of light. These collection instruments resemble a large net, which is thin, but has a large surface area. This kind of structure is not a problem in normal times, but in this sea of light, there are some problems.

Because here, the radiation pressure of the light is so strong that it forms a force similar to the wind. If the corresponding pushing equipment is not installed on top of these collection devices, the light pressure alone is enough to blow them away.

It took Xiao Yu a month to collect about 100 tons of material ejected from R136A1. Xiao Yu put these substances in the Academy of Materials Sciences, and together with the scientists of the Academy of Materials Sciences, they were analyzed.

A month has passed again, and looking at the ten grams of strange substances that have been separated from this hundred tons of matter, Xiao Yu's heart is full of joy.

These ten grams of matter are not ordinary things, they do not belong to any element and do not have any elemental structure. They don't have a nucleus made up of protons and neutrons, and electrons don't orbit around the nucleus, they're just pure microscopic particle aggregates. It is this strange structure that gives them unimaginable material properties, and even hydrogen atomic polymerization materials cannot compete with it. Only this material is qualified to construct the most powerful stellar warship.

"The hypothesis that this material will be formed during the stellar fusion reaction has been confirmed, so next, we will make detailed observations of R136A1 to determine the mechanism of this material......" Xiao Yu said, approaching R136A1 again, and releasing a large number of observation instruments. These instruments are all made of crocodile flesh and blood, and they can be used to get very close to the star R136A1 for the most intuitive observations. Xiao Yu has made tens of millions of such observation instruments.

A large amount of observation data began to be transmitted back to Xiao Yu's mind, and Xiao Yu was carefully observing the king of this star from all aspects. But to Xiao Yu's expectations, the first breakthrough was not the manufacturing technology of microscopic particle polymerization materials, but the research on the non-destructive manipulation of the corpse of the MSI civilization by the ghost clan.

That was five years after Xiao Yu began his research on R136A1. The data on R136A1 is open within the Shenzhou civilization, and any scientist can freely consult these materials. In this case, the scientific research team led by Xu Junpo can naturally also see these materials.

"I think we've found a way to let the Ghost Clan manipulate the corpse of the MSI civilization without damage." Xu Junpo reported to Xiao Yu, "In the process of observing R136A1, in the extreme physical environment, we found a special energy, and through the irradiation of this specific energy, we found that imperfect life can also have some characteristics of perfect life in a short time. We conducted research on this basis, and eventually discovered that this special energy also has the ability to restore the damaged life force of the ghost race. Yes, although it is not known what the specific principle of this mechanism is, it does have such capabilities. ”

In fact, Xiao Yu had known about these research results for a long time, but for some reason, Xiao Yu hid some of what he knew. Because Xiao Yu doesn't want these scientists to think that he knows everything, and he doesn't want scientists to know that he knows anything about them.

When he first got this result, Xiao Yu had some inexplicable worries in his heart. Because Xiao Yu found that if this kind of energy can really erase the difference between imperfect life and perfect life, then theoretically speaking, the dead Vicky can also have the same ability as himself, which means that the Sweeper civilization has also created something similar to its own form of existence. This point is very unfavorable to Xiao Yu.

But Xiao Yu soon discovered that he didn't have to worry about it. Because there are certain limits to this energy. For imperfect lifeforms, this energy can only bring short-term gains, and has no effect over time. For the ghost clan or themselves, there is no limit to the use of this energy, but it can be used many times. It's just that this energy can only restore the damaged vitality of the ghost clan to its original state, but it can't increase its upper limit of vitality.

"For the Ghost Clan, the vitality is combat power, and if this energy can increase the upper limit of the Ghost Clan's vitality limit, then it is too rebellious. Well, it is enough to allow the ghost to manipulate the corpse of the MSI civilization without damage. Xiao Yu thought excitedly, "Xu Junpo is really a genius, he has outstanding scientific thinking and scientific intuition. To be sure, without him, no other scientist, including me, would have been able to discover this miraculous energy from the radiant energy of this star. ”

"Great, I've got the relevant research materials. On behalf of the entire Shenzhou civilization, I would like to thank you for your outstanding contributions to the civilization. Xiao Yu said, "I will take over the follow-up research, let me solve the research on how this special energy is created and how it is generated, you can take a break after being tired for so long." Hmm, by the way, I've recently developed a few new tourist attractions according to your aesthetics, the spaceship is ready, do you want to check it out? ”

Xu Junpo rubbed his thinking organs a little tiredly and said, "It's okay to relax." But let me rest for a few days. ”

"Okay, within our Shenzhou civilization, you can do whatever you want, and I can meet any requirements you have." Xiao Yu said.

From this moment on, Xu Junpo's status in Xiao Yu's mind has surpassed Luca's No. 2, No. 3 and other outstanding scientists, and has been promoted to the first place.

"Ghost, from now on, you can freely manipulate the corpse of the MSI civilization without worrying about the damage to your vitality...... Our Shenzhou civilization finally completely owns the corpse of the MSI civilization, a big killer ......" (to be continued......)
