Chapter 32 Neutron Lifeforms

The short life span of neutron life forms is incomprehensible to humans, and the length of their life is the time it takes to go to work and fish.

Even the life of a mayfly is a long life in comparison.

In this way, or is there a consciousness that can think?

Once Blue Star defined life as: an open system that has the function of energy metabolism, can respond to stimuli and reproduce.

However, with the acquisition of more cosmic observations, the definition of life has changed, and there are too many intelligent races that do not need energy metabolism and reproduction, and there are such examples, human beings can only reduce the definition of life to [can respond to stimuli].

The neutron life forms that can already give back information in front of us already have the characteristics of life.

It's just that the experts at Base Zero are still looking at the miracle of cosmic life science in front of them in disbelief.

Planetary life forms are at least traceable, and consciousness is mounted on a magnetic field to form a thinking circuit, at least there is a bit of a taste of mechanical life.

But neutron lifeforms are magical.

The first is the carrier of life, the neutron, which has a very small mass, slightly more mass than a proton, with a spin of 1/2.

Second, free neutrons are unstable particles that can decay into protons through weak action, emitting an electron and an antineutrino with an average lifetime of 896 seconds. The existence time is extremely short, and for ordinary life forms, it may be possible to change the carrier of all tissues in a single metabolic time.

The neutrons then follow the Fermi-Dirac distribution and Pauli incompatibility principle. In the past, the neutron was listed as a member of the elementary particle, but now under the Standard Model theory, it is composed of two lower quarks and one upper quark, so it is a composite particle.

Even if they exist in a concentrated state in neutron stars, rapid decay is still a curse of life that they cannot break. They should decay rapidly in ignorance, disappearing into the universe without even realizing the chance of death, as if they had never been born.

These neutron life forms have no history in real time, and they may not even remember what happened three days ago, but they do have condensed their consciousness and can still take initial control of this pulse line to release the broadcast station that carries the information.

They are not life forms based on the magnetic fields of neutron stars, and they do not have such abilities and the universal language of the universe by their own comprehension.

Neutron life forms were initially ignorant, with pulsars with a diameter of 10 kilometers as their home star, and the cosmic environment was the coldest and coldest place of death for them, and their particularity allowed them to survive only on extreme celestial bodies such as neutron stars.

And because their form is small enough, these neutron stars are already a huge territory for them.

This kind of time has lasted for a long time, and it is impossible to trace how many generations these neutron life forms have changed from ignorance to clear self-awareness.

But the moment they completed their self-awareness, they mastered the technology at the atomic level, where neutron life forms were born in the microscopic environment, and the atomic level is like a fish in water for them.

However, on pulsars, the extreme environment in the environment makes the technology at the atomic level seem to have no effect, and neutron life forms can only live on it ordinarily.

Perhaps an unstable reaction from a pulsar could cause these neutron life forms to disappear from the universe.

But they were lucky enough to meet a passing civilization, and from this passing civilization, they learned about the universe, technology, the starry sky, and the matter that will continue to freeze in the universe.

After looking at the world, we know our own insignificance and the narrowness we are in.

These neutron lifeforms have obtained some planetary-level civilization technology from passing civilizations, and they have begun to try to transform pulsars, but only planetary-level technology products are destined to have no effect in extreme environments.

They can only start from themselves, first by creating a device that can observe the universe through the powerful gravitational distortion of space-time.

It took more than 700,000 generations of neutron lifeforms for them to finally see this cold universe.

Even if the temperature of the accompanying nebula remained at more than 10,000 degrees, it was still deadly cold for them.

In fact, this universe is not friendly to them.

If it was a billion years before the Big Bang, the overall temperature of the universe at that time would have been their comfortable environment.

The neutron life forms that have been born in the wrong era do not have the idea of giving up on themselves, because complaining about it for one more minute will create extinction harm to the continuation of the entire race.

Only by being optimistic and persistent have they survived to the moment they have mastered science and technology.

Although the technology they mastered did not make their situation much better, at least the entire group had a goal to strive for.

They're going to make ice on pulsars.

Such ice is not the kind of ice that water condenses into ice, because there can be no such thing as water molecules on pulsars, because even the nuclei of atoms are directly destroyed by gravity here.

The [ice cube] that neutron life forms want to make refers to the freezing of matter with neutrons as the main composition on pulsars.

In terms of the technology established by neutron lifeforms, freezing allows them to continue their lives and break the spell of rapid decay.

This is not without the difference from the ancient emperors of mankind who sought immortality.

This is no different from other intelligent beings in the universe who desire to continue their lives.

The only thing that makes people jaw-dropping is that ........ create such an [ice cube] on a pulsar!

This is not as simple as freezing them to absolute zero quickly, in the extreme environment on the pulsar, even the technological creations of stellar civilizations cannot hold up, and they want to create absolute zero in an instant, in an environment of high temperature, high pressure and high gravity.

It would be easier and more practical to use space technology from the start.

Then the question arises.

I want to make Ice Cubes!

Then you go master space technology!

I have mastered the [Ice Cube] technology, so that the clan has the opportunity to develop space technology!

If you want to master the [Ice Cube] technique, you must first master the space technology!

An unsolvable cycle is the civilization knot faced by the neutron lifeforms, and the passing civilizations do not know whether the civilization level is not enough or they are reluctant, and the neutron lifeforms have not been able to obtain space technology from his civilization enlightenment mentor after all.

Limits, limits can't be broken.

development, and it can't be developed.

After passing by civilizations and giving some help, they left here, and after that, the technology of the neutron lifeform race stagnated.

Or at the speed at which they iterate, it's nice to be able to sustain the technology.

Such dead knots abound in the records of the Alliance of Conscious Life Forms, and there is never a shortage of suffering civilizations in the great universe.

However, suffering is suffering, suffering will not create a glorious civilization, and if it does not survive, it will be destroyed.

I don't know which generation of neutron lifeforms finally decided to abandon the full tech tree, and began to adjust the home planet to the maximum ability of the race with some of the technologies they mastered.

Turn pulsars into eye-catching cosmic broadcasts and ask for help from well-meaning civilizations throughout the universe!

Beg.

There is no dignity.

This concept has no meaning in the cognition of neutron life forms, they just want to live longer, and live a little longer, preferably to the same time as the frozen [ice cube].

..........

This is the story of neutron life.

Lu Yu was very moved after hearing this, and then he planned to return to the star field of the folded space.

Ten refused.

Roughly so.

From the brief communication, it was learned that the Silver Star was probably the first civilization to come here to communicate with them after they made the announcement.

Come to think of it, except for a guy like Lu Yu who has mastered the black technology of space jumping, he will be bored to come here to take a look at the situation.

Other civilizations consume a huge amount of energy all the time in interstellar voyages, and if they fail to accomplish the purpose of the voyage, it is not as simple as losing their personal honor, I am afraid that the entire process of civilization will be blocked.

What's more........ on an extreme celestial body like a pulsar, no matter how curious a life is, it has to consider whether to go to a strange life form hundreds or thousands of light-years away while preserving its own life.

Moreover, this is not something that ordinary planetary-level or stellar-level civilizations can help, space technology ..... a ladder to a river-level civilization.

At the beginning, the Consciousness Life Alliance also wanted to join the members and honestly be workers for a long time before they were willing to give space technology.

Press the broadcast of this neutron life organism...... It is clear that they want to take it for nothing, just like the passing civilization at the beginning, they gave them a whole set of planetary technology for nothing.

White x!

I can get space technology for nothing, and of course it is fragrant, and it is incense to the extreme.

How could such a sweet dream not be fragrant?

But it can only exist in dreams, and no civilization will cede to other civilizations the space technology that it has worked so hard to accumulate for no reason.

None of the civilizations that created the folding space were kind enough to be such a big injustice!

Therefore, the begging behavior of neutron life forms was doomed to bankruptcy from the start.

Lu Yu is not a demon either, although he always uses the name of the Horn Clan to [do good deeds and accumulate virtue] in the big universe, but he is an amiable Blue Star person after all.

I was deeply saddened by the plight of the neutron life form race, and then after satisfying my curiosity, I was ready to take the lovely Seven ready to run.

Do you think my horned people are some kind of space madonna?

That's right, Lu Yu's plan to use the name of the Horn Clan this time has already set the tone, although I don't know if these neutron lifeforms will remember that the Silver Star has come a few hours later.

Perhaps seeing that the Silver Star did not reply for a long time, the neutron lifeforms that had been unconsciously iterating twice hurriedly sent a new signal: "Aren't you ........ able to create [ice cubes] on our home planet?" ”

"Nope."

It's a cold and realistic answer.

Lu Yu really didn't have the technology to create the so-called [ice cubes] of neutron lifeforms on pulsars, and in Lu Yu's cognition, to be able to do this kind of engineering, at least to reach the river level civilization.

A cubic centimeter of matter on a neutron star has a mass of more than 100 million tons, or even 1 billion tons.

If there is no intuitive concept, the simple analogy - at room temperature and pressure, the density of water is 1 gram per cubic centimeter, and the density of a neutron star is 100 trillion times the density of water.

The average radius of the Earth is 6,371 kilometers, and if the Earth is pressed into a neutron star, then the radius of the Earth will become 22 meters.

Due to the extreme density, where a large amount of mass is concentrated in a very limited space, the gravitational field on the surface of neutron stars is extremely strong. The escape velocity of the surface is as high as 100,000~150,000 kilometers per second, and if a rocket is launched from the surface of a neutron star, the speed must be greater than 1/3~1/2 of the speed of light. However, any object that falls onto the surface of a neutron star will be shredded. Such a strong gravitational pull is that light passing near the neutron star moves along a parabolic trajectory.

The only time Lu Yu heard of it was when he received the A-level task [Freezing Supernova] released by the black technology system for the first time under such extreme conditions.

If you use a system, it's not impossible.

But Lu Yu is still saving points to repair the Silver Star, how can he waste it for the neutron lifeforms?

"Does that give us a direction, a possibility?"

"Maybe we got it from the Enlightenment, but ...... In order to make a sound, we iterated too much and forgot a lot, so I can only ask you. ”

The begging behavior of these neutron lifeforms did not arouse any disgust from Lu Yu.

When civilization is facing extinction, no dignity is meaningless.

After thinking about it, Lu Yu asked No. 7 to send the Great Unification Theory to these neutron lifeforms.

It is the foundation of a stellar civilization, and it is highly likely to be the first key to unlock space technology.

[+80% for the theory of unification, get 300 points reward.] 】

[Anti-physics basics +70%, get 200 points.] 】

【……… Earn 150 points reward. 】

At the moment when the seventh completed the transmission, Lu Yu immediately saw the pop-up prompt of the black technology system in front of him.

???

What's going on?

Has human technology suddenly exploded?

Or did the super beings have an epiphany en masse?

The sudden crazy bonus points made Lu Yuren stunned, although the points were added to the back more and more less, as if they were decreasing, but they couldn't stand the speed of this increase in points.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yu inexplicably gained nearly 800 points.

Soon, Lu Yu understood.

This accident only happened after Seven transferred technology to these neutron lifeforms.

"Yes! These neutron organisms do not even have organs, structures, and even some of the foundations of life that they should have, and they cannot be measured by the learning speed of normal life forms. ”

"But this kind of speed is too terrifying, and after transmitting the Great Unification Theory to them, these neutron life forms will almost deduce most of the technology trees of stellar civilizations on their own."

"Maybe it's because of this kind of learning speed and such a thinking circuit that these neutron-based lives can be born?"

While Lu Yu was still amazed, the neutron lifeform: "We seem to understand more things, thank you for the unknown civilization!" It's a pity you're leaving ........."

"No thanks, I'm Lu Yu, a human being!"

Lu Yu seriously interrupted the neutron lifeform and said, "For the sake of all the civilizations in the universe that have suffered hardship, I am willing to give my own modest strength!" ”

"I'm not leaving! Stay and help you make Ice Cubes! ”
