Chapter 269: Difference in Flow Velocity
"Sum of energy in remaining life......"
On a summer night, the star is essentially a cluster of plasma, which is dominated by hydrogen and helium; Therefore, it can also be said that it is a mass of fusion fuel that is burning "slowly" and continuously.
Under normal circumstances, this mass of fuel can be burned for billions of years, and the energy is gradually released in the process of light elements fusing into heavy elements; And now, if, as Xiu Ji said, all the energy contained in it is triggered in one go, then just imagining it, you know that it will be a very terrifying magnitude.
But questions arise:
"You're going to detonate this star?" After a pause, she added:
"I mean...... This ship can detonate a star and collect the energy of the explosion and transmit it to my head? I haven't detonated a star though......"
"No, you've detonated, and often ......"
"Huh?"
"Nothing, just kidding, you continue." Xiu Ji smiled and motioned for Summer Night to continue.
"Ahem...... I've never seen a star explode, but I can imagine that the power must be terrifying, and this ship is really that strong? ”
"No, and even if it were so strong, it would be difficult to collect the energy in the explosion, and most of the energy would be wasted."
"So ......?"
"So the actual approach is: speed up the time flow rate of the star and the small area where the spacecraft is located, so that the star can complete its remaining life in a very short time, although the spacecraft still collects the energy on the planet's surface like an ordinary Dyson sphere, but due to the time flow rate difference between the inside and outside the area, the energy density input into the head per unit time will be greatly increased, and the increase is proportional to the flow rate difference of time."
“……”
Xia Ye was stunned for a while before she finally understood the meaning of Xiu Ji's words: "That...... What is the difference in the flow velocity of time? ”
"This can be an unimaginably large number – depending on how quickly you want to use up that energy." Xiu Ji smiled, "As for the current situation of Lord Summer Night, I said that I can't restrain your sister for too long, so let's try to finish it in less than half an hour." ”
"And what is the remaining lifespan of this star?"
"It's an older star, and I estimate it has less than 2 billion years left to live."
2 billion years, compressed to half an hour, then the difference in the flow rate of time must reach ......
Summer Night made a quick estimate in her mind and quickly got the answer:
"40 trillion times?!"
"Well, almost." Xiu Ji nodded lightly.
"Such a big difference in flow rate...... How, exactly? Summernight asked in surprise, "And doesn't it take energy to warp time itself?" ”
"To be honest, I don't know." Xiu Ji smiled and spread her hands, "This is their top technology, after I ate them, although I gained all their knowledge, but knowing it does not mean that I can understand it, probably because I am too stupid, I still haven't figured out the principle."
"But the energy needed to warp time comes from surprisingly simple sources – it comes from the energy that Dyson spheres collect from the surface of stars, and a large part of it is used to warp time. In other words, the amount of energy that can actually be delivered into your head is not as much as you think, but because the multiplier gain from the difference in time flow is even more impressive, the amount of energy output per unit of time is more than enough to activate your head. ”
"Okay......"
Although there are still many questions about Summer Night, as Xiu Ji said, the city lord may be killed in front of her again at any time, and she can't waste time asking questions, she must activate the big head as soon as possible.
If her guess is correct, this head is the key to turning the situation around.
"So we're going to start now?"
"Xiu Ji can do it at any time~" Xiu Ji smiled, "However, it is necessary for Lord Summer Night to let that big head rise up here, and the energy that will be derived from the stars later is too great, and if there is a slight spillover, it may destroy your city." ”
"But...... Now I can't control it at all. ”
"Loosen the connection that binds it, and it will float up on its own...... Should. ”
Summer Night cast her mind downward, trying to loosen the translucent silk thread that connected the big head, as Shuhime said, it was really like a balloon, slowly drifting towards the rift, the closer it got to the rift, the larger it became, and when it passed through the rift, it actually got stuck there, until Shuhime stretched the width of the rift slightly outward, and it finally staggered into space.
At this time, it was already more than 20 meters in diameter, but it continued to grow, and by the time they came to the two of them, it was already more than 200 meters in diameter, and Summer Night watched in shock as the asteroid-like head passed by him, flying in the direction of the star.
"Is this position okay now?"
"Summernight-sama can let it fly for a while."
So she didn't hurry to tighten the silk thread according to what Xiu Ji said, and Xia Ye stared at her head for a while, and finally found a pattern: "Could it be that it is getting bigger and bigger because it is getting closer and closer to the star?" ”
"It can be understood that way." Xiu Ji replied.
"But why is it attracted to stars?"
"Summer Nights can be simply understood as gravitational force."
“……”
Xia Ye felt that Xiu Ji was not telling the truth, but she didn't continue to ask, in the distance, her head was already so big that it was difficult to estimate, and the diameter might have reached 5 kilometers, or even 10 kilometers?
Under the effect of "gravity", the head approached the star at an increasing speed, and when it flew to the position of the previous spacecraft, Xiu Ji finally spoke:
"It's almost the distance, let it stop."
Summer Night immediately tightened the silk thread, and although her head was as big as a planet at this time, she didn't feel any drag, and her head didn't have any inertia, and it stopped almost immediately, as easily as if she were tugging at a balloon that was about to fly away.
"Why can I hold it so easily?"
"Because the connection between Lord Summer Night and his head is very strong~" Xiu Ji smiled and said an answer that was close to nonsense.
It seems that this is also a matter that cannot be revealed, Summer Night thought to himself.
"Now you can start~"
Xiu Ji snapped her fingers, and on the Dyson sphere that wrapped the star, dots of emerald green fluorescence appeared one after another, and these points of light dragged out long tails and moved quickly along the black grid, like a train running at high speed in the tracks. A moment later, Summer Night was surprised to find that the tongue of fire on the surface of the star was shaking faster.
And it was getting faster and faster, and soon, she could no longer see the details of the surface of the star, and occasionally the sun rose, only to disappear in an instant in a blurry afterimage, and the whole scene seemed like a fast-forward movie picture.
"It's starting to accelerate." "But it will take a while for the flow rate to reach the target value." ”
The summer night didn't take long, and soon she noticed that the color of the star began to change, and the surface that had been bright yellow a moment ago had now turned orange, and it was getting closer and closer to red.
"It's changing color!"
"Of course, stars become redder and redder as their lifespans increase, and now thousands of years of lifespan pass away on it every second that passes."
Xiu Ji paused for a moment, and finally said: "The flow rate difference has reached the target value, and it can be activated, Lord Summer Night~"
As soon as the words fell, a blazing pillar of light burst out from the tail of the ship, shooting towards the planet-like head, hitting the center of its forehead accurately.
