Chapter 617 Carbon Fusion
"...The other party is so persistent in expanding the wormhole. Could it be that there is something huge that needs to pass through? And that thing can be finalized?"
Alsace's previous speculation suddenly reappeared in Girard's mind, causing his expression to change several times.
At the same time, Nie Yun was also looking at this strange celestial body emitting white light with a look of surprise, and information about white dwarfs appeared in his mind.
Such celestial bodies are actually not uncommon in the universe.
A low-to-medium-mass star expands to become a red giant after passing through the main-sequence stage of its life, like... the sun!
Billions of years from now, the sun will cross the main sequence star and expand into a huge red giant star that will swallow Mercury, Venus, and even the earth.
The blazing high temperature will turn the earth into a lava land, an extinct area for life, and at this time we have two choices, one is to immigrate to alien planets, and the other is to wander the earth...
The core of the sun in the red giant state will continue to shrink, while the shell will continue to burn, and then throw off the outer material in a series of heat pulses, forming a gorgeous nebula in the periphery.
And the last burning remnant of it...is the white dwarf we see!
Usually composed of carbon and oxygen, white dwarfs are surprisingly dense because of the rapid gravitational collapse that crushes atoms during the formation of white dwarfs, forming degenerate matter consisting of nuclei and electrons.
Even the "pocket-sized" white dwarf star with a diameter of only 180 kilometers in front of us has a much larger mass than ordinary celestial bodies.
Only about 3% of all stars are white dwarfs, and they are quite far away from the solar system, so this is the first time that Nie Yun has witnessed this kind of celestial body up close.
"This thing... what does the other party want?"
Like everyone else, Nie Yun thought of this question immediately.
Anyone with an online IQ knows that the Locke Consortium has spent a lot of effort and painstakingly expanding the wormhole, and it will never just send a "flare" at the most critical moment of this battle.
So the key to the question now is what is the use of this big light bulb?
"Is this also a battle star? A degenerate battle star?" Nie Yun guessed, but soon he shook his head and laughed.
Although the ultra-high density brings ultra-high defense power, and ordinary attack methods can't even scratch its skin, it also means ultra-high gravity.
Not to mention living things, even high-strength alloy steel will only turn into a pile of discus on top, not to mention the high temperature of more than 8000 degrees is enough to melt most materials.
"Since you can't carry weapons, is it possible to use a collision? But this speed is too touching... Wait! Could it be..."
Nie Yunruo's face changed when he realized something.
"Immediately order the Fallen Angel to move at full speed and hide behind the Fearless Battle Star! Also... inform Isael and Renault..."
……
When Nie Yun took action immediately, the entire battlefield was also in a commotion because of the "intruders".
The Gemini side is nervous, worried that this white dwarf is the opponent's super weapon, and will send them a "Genesis" in the next moment, while the Ryan side is inexplicable.
Didn't it say that this thing will join the battlefield?
So... what the hell is this?
Just when the battlefield fell into brief chaos, the order from the old chief of the Ryan clan finally broke the situation.
"Evacuate immediately, no matter what the cost, return to the wormhole as quickly as possible!"
This order was very inexplicable, and all the soldiers heard a hint of urgency from the order.
So... the Gemini fighters who were exchanging fire with the enemy watched in astonishment when the opponent who was charging desperately just now suddenly turned the nozzle and retreated towards the wormhole like a tide.
They didn't even leave any broken troops behind, it looked like a sudden rout!
Many people didn't understand the situation, didn't receive new instructions, and even chased after them, ready to beat the dog in the water.
"Not good! Tell all the fleets to stop chasing and retreat immediately!" Gilad shouted with sweat on his forehead.
If it was said that when this thing first appeared, he only had a vague guess, but now, the opponent's abnormal withdrawal undoubtedly greatly increased the possibility of that guess!
Although he is not an astrophysicist, as a senior fleet commander, he has absolutely no lack of knowledge about various celestial bodies in the universe.
So he knew that white dwarfs would naturally not be the final stage in the evolution of stars...
And in the series of subsequent "evolution" branches of the white dwarf, there is one that directly points to the ultimate meaning of "art"...
And if that's the case...
Gilad didn't even dare to imagine, but ordered the fleet to retreat at full speed like crazy.
It's just... the evacuation of thousands of warships can't be done in a short while.
Even before all the Ryan warriors retreated to the wormhole, and more than half of them were stranded on the battlefield, the white dwarf, which was as gentle as a quiet light bulb just now, suddenly became agitated!
Its light began to flicker, and the surrounding magnetic field suddenly became disordered.
"Your Excellency... Your Excellency! A sudden violent energy fluctuation has been detected inside the white dwarf star. Our scientists said that it is probably... carbon fusion!"
This news made the faces of all the officers in the command room change suddenly.
The carbon core of the white dwarf star does not undergo nuclear fusion in its natural state. In fact, the white dwarf star is an old star that has "extinguished its fire".
But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, stars... have never been synonymous with "gentleness".
If a degenerate star suddenly rekindles the fire of nuclear fusion...
This phenomenon has a cool name in astronomy... a supernova explosion!
"boom!"
When the glaring light exploded in front of everyone's eyes, Girard had already lost the ability to think. He could only look desperately at the light that represented death quickly drowning his huge fleet...
Of course, the speed of fleet evacuation cannot compare with the speed of light.
When the violent electromagnetic radiation irradiated the force field shield, although it didn't destroy it immediately, it continued to consume the remaining energy of the shield.
"Boom boom boom!" Mechas and fighter planes swelled and exploded under the energy of this intensity.
And the battleship with a stronger shield is still alive!
The result of cutting flesh with blunt knives is nothing more than increasing the despair of everyone inside the battleship...
"Boom!" Five minutes later, as the shield energy of a small battleship bottomed out, it disappeared into the universe, followed by explosions one after another!
The large battleships with thicker shields are still struggling to support them. With this kind of energy irradiation intensity, as long as the stored energy crystals are sufficient, they are undoubtedly very likely to survive this wave of the most violent energy explosion.
But half an hour later, a deadlier attack arrives, destroying their last hope!
Those are the star fragments produced after countless explosions. A large amount of iron and nickel elements were thrown out with the explosion, like a sharp sword, hitting the shield at nearly one-tenth of the speed of light!
The shield shatters, then the armor rips...
An even more tragic explosion occurred, and the fleet composed of thousands of warships was almost completely lost under the impact of this round!
The wreckage of warships is floating everywhere in the universe, and then melted into various shapes under the high temperature...
And the most eye-catching thing in the fleet is undoubtedly the huge "Fearless Battle Star"!
This fearless battle star, which consumed countless resources from Gemini and was equipped with a large number of super weapons, even failed to unleash its full strength, was dealt a devastating blow!
The side facing the impact is already like a purgatory on earth. All kinds of flames and explosions completely flooded the entire hemisphere, and crimson magma flowed everywhere.
Today's fearless battle star is like a half-hot soldering iron!
However, with a diameter of more than 3000 kilometers, the dreadful Battlestar, which has a miserable image, has become the only "shield" in this star field that can resist such an explosion!
Including the headquarters with an independent shield system, built deep underground on the back of the battle star, and some large warships that quickly hid in the shadow on the back of the fearless battle star, becoming the only survivors of this disaster By……
"Gu~" Nie Yun swallowed.
This is definitely the most splendid "firework" he has ever seen in his life!
Compared with an "art" of this scale, the "Pluto" project tossing around in my backyard is really a bit petty...
He finally understands why the Locke Consortium is clearly superior in strength, but it wants a group of vassal races to keep fighting a war of attrition with Gemini.
They are waiting!Wait for most of the power of civilization to gather here, and then use this method to destroy this huge fleet... in one fell swoop!
