Black technology: starting with space jump machine

At this moment, the brightness of this star suddenly increased by hundreds of times. Not only in the visible light band, but also in other bands, its various radiations increased by hundreds of times.

Hundreds of years later, if the civilizations in the surrounding star fields are lucky enough to observe the situation here, they will also lament the disasters of this star. It has just lost a lot of mass, so that it has entered the red giant stage ahead of time, and now high-frequency flashes are beginning to appear.

The sudden flash is an extremely shocking change for a star that should have been stable. This is often just a prelude to a stellar catastrophe.

As a result of the collision between the Silver Star and the mysterious weapon, the dark core cracked and burst into amazing flashes, causing a chain reaction for this unfortunate star.

Through highly filtered optical instruments, Lu Yu saw on the holographic projection that a disaster scene like a landslide occurred on the surface of the star.

As if an earthquake caused the sea to churn, countless flaming mountains tens of thousands of kilometers high suddenly emerged on the surface of this star. The material on the top of the mountain has even reached the escape velocity of this star. They were thrown out of the star and scattered into the star system.

After the initial few seconds, the radiation intensity increased further, rapidly climbing to tens of thousands of times the normal radiation of the star, and it continued to rise.

From the place where the Silver Star penetrated, the material of the star was scattered more violently, and a larger amount of stellar material was scattered into the universe. From the observation of optical instruments, it seemed that two hot flame trees appeared with this star as the midpoint.

The byproduct of such a scene is that the radiation from this star is unprecedentedly strong to the extreme. Under such strong radiation, if the Blue Star is in this star system, all the electronic equipment on the planet will probably be scrapped in an instant.

But under the protection of the armor of the Silver Star, Lu Yu in the living area can still safely see the scene after the collision.

But in fact, even if the Silver Star was hit by a Level 9 civilization, it was not unscathed.

At the moment of the huge kinetic energy collision, the outermost armor of the Silver Star - the strong interaction material was actually damaged.

Even the black technology armor that was boasted for a while was actually made of material. The terrible collision caused the absolute structure of this layer of armor to vibrate.

The situation that occurred in the one-dimensional world in the past reappeared again. The material that could not be restrained by the strong force peeled off little by little, and then the second layer of the fuzzy armor of the Silver Star was exposed.

But that's all.

Within a millionth of a second after the first layer of armor was broken, it quickly became intact as if it had been refreshed in a flashback.

This rapid repair is a very short time that Lu Yu's current observation instruments can hardly capture, not to mention in the distance environment of a violent collision?

So because of this rapid repair, Lu Yu found it difficult to discover that the first layer of armor of the Silver Star was not as strong as imagined after it rose to the collision with the advanced civilization.

But.....this is not important.

Because the Silver Star has four layers of armor, the first layer of armor alone cannot affect Lu Yu in the living area.

But the mysterious weapon in front of him did not have such an enviable armor layer, and such a primitive and direct collision caused it to be damaged instantly.

However, it could not do anything to the Silver Star, so the mysterious weapon exploded, dragging the unlucky star with it.

In the chaotic plasma, a triangular spaceship rushed out like a wild horse, and it could not even control its own kinetic energy. It took nearly 0.5 astronomical distances to brake and approach the quietly suspended Silver Star.

"This star has expanded again, and it has irreversibly entered the red giant stage."

"But the remains of this level nine civilization have also disappeared, just like the evaporated materials before."

While sending information to the approaching triangular spaceship, Lu Yu was also transmitting the data recording the changes of the star back to Blue Star.

The stage that the sun is facing may be a reference for Blue Star.

"Our civilization seems to have fallen into a trap here?"

"Why? If a level nine civilization with such technology wanted to destroy us, who were only level seven civilizations at the time, it would be easy, but they used such an awkward way to deal with us?"

"This is obviously... contrary to common sense."

It turns out that this is not a special custom in your star field!

I thought the alien civilizations here always like to do this kind of fancy style.

The question of the triangular spacecraft is also Lu Yu's question. They carefully explored the star and found that the wreckage had indeed disappeared, so they could only return to the original place.

"I found the wreckage of fleets from 131 civilizations in the inner space. Their civilization levels are different, ranging from stellar civilizations to galactic civilizations."

"But all the information has been deleted, and there is no information worth referring to."

"So what is this wreckage, did the wreckage research institute find anything in it before... Now all the clues are gone."

The triangular spaceship continued with regret: "Originally, all this has nothing to do with the Horn Clan civilization, but we let you get involved."

"We think we may be able to find a way to bypass the system for the star map you want, but space technology... there is really no way."

These members of the Ring Clan civilization seemed to want to thank Lu Yu for saving his life and made a decision that violated the rules of civilization.

For Lu Yu, the star map was also one of the things he needed most at the moment, so he would naturally not refuse the benefits brought to his door.

A door to space appeared again.

The triangular spacecraft has consumed a large amount of its own energy reserves in the internal space, and it will definitely not use those poor frozen stars at this time.

Right in front of you... there is an obvious source of energy!

This poor star had to be deprived of a large amount of mass by the triangular spacecraft again and again, and finally all the plague gods were completely sent away.

But this star system will no longer have the opportunity to give birth to civilization. The high-temperature solar material that begins to pervade the star system will take many years to cool down, and by then the star may have reached the end of its stellar evolution ahead of schedule.

"As a civilization develops, members sometimes have completely opposite directions of development."

"Some people may think that editing genetic engineering is the future, and some people think that integration with machinery is the general direction of technological development."

"No matter which one has its own foundation and its own group of supporters, there will be a civilizational split before each other."

"Such a process will inevitably lead to a period of weakness of the civilization, but it will also maintain the purity of the civilization. In such a divided civilization, the part that occupied the majority of the members of the civilization will still continue to have the name of the civilization, and the divided civilization will be sub-civilization.”

"We cannot say what is wrong with the split sub-civilizations. In the evolution of civilizations we observe, some sub-civilizations adhere to the correct direction of development. They may advance to the level of civilization before the main civilization. Some sub-civilizations realize that their own development It is not uncommon for people to make mistakes and return to the main civilization.”

"But after most sub-civilizations split off, they established a new civilization with the technology they took with them when they left. This is the normal evolution of civilizations in the universe."

"The destination of the Space Gate is the civilization that once split from the Ring Clan. They left before the Ring Clan was promoted to the seventh-level civilization. Although they missed the opportunity to master space technology, they also have their own opportunities."

While passing through the space gate, the triangular spaceship explained to Lu Yu how to get the star map for them.

A sub-civilization separated from the main civilization?

This is interesting.

Starting from stellar civilization, such civilization fission behavior has become a very common behavior.

Due to the advancement of learning methods and personal portable computers, civilization members and civilization teams have extremely similar technologies and weapons. If a civil war breaks out due to route issues, the entire civilization may be destroyed.

But the universe is so vast, and stars and matter are not scarce resources for a stellar civilization.

Neither of them likes to see each other, but if a big fight will make both parties unhappy, then we might as well develop in separate directions.

Space and time allow each other to know who is truly on the right path to the development of civilization.

Lu Yu couldn't comment on this method of fissioning civilization, but there are indeed civilizations that have shed all the burdens of constraints and have been promoted to advanced civilizations in the explosion of science and technology.

Now listening to Triangle Spaceship's explanation, it seems that the Ring Clan civilization is also one of the beneficiaries of this mechanism?

But since the quarrel had already reached the point of splitting, and time has proven that the ring clan on the triangular spacecraft is on the right path.

So why does the triangular spacecraft still miss this civilization? Can you even grasp the other party's whereabouts now?

However, Lu Yu was not interested in this kind of story about civilization and ethics. He was thinking about the remains of the vanished ninth-level civilization and wanted to get the star map quickly.

That wonderful space trap and mysterious weapon are really puzzling with the clues we have now, but the ninth-level civilization that arranged them is definitely planning something.

Now that I have accepted the mission, I have to find a way to get points from it to repair the Silver Star!

As the journey through the space gate came to an end, Lu Yu temporarily handed over this troublesome problem to the external brains at Base Zero.

When passing through the space passage, Lu Yu could actually observe the situation at the destination.

In that brand-new star field, the most noticeable thing is the white dwarf star that can observe some conditions.

white dwarf.

For Lu Yu, who had already experienced extreme environments such as black holes, neutron stars, and supernova explosions, it was nothing.

In fact, the gravity on a white dwarf star is extremely strong. According to rough calculation, a standard white dwarf star is about tens of millions of times that of the Earth. There are no well-preserved structures known to man in such an environment. Even the materials that make up white dwarfs can no longer be looked at from the perspective of ordinary matter.

Atoms are composed of nuclei and electrons, and there is a large gap between the nuclei and electrons. If an atom is compared to a theater, the nucleus is only the size of a basketball. The electrons move freely in this gap.

But in the white dwarf star material, the distance between electrons and atoms is greatly compressed. Under such pressure, electrons truly become "clouds", and atomic nuclei are immersed in the electron cloud.

If the mass of a white dwarf exceeds 1.5 times that of the sun, the electron degeneracy pressure will no longer be able to resist its own gravity. The white dwarf will collapse into a neutron star after the explosion of a Type Ia supernova, relying on the neutron degeneracy pressure to continue to support its own structure.

Extreme stars such as white dwarfs and neutron stars have some counterintuitive laws. For example, the mass of white dwarfs and neutron stars is inversely proportional to their volume, that is, the larger their volume, the smaller their mass. The smaller the volume, the greater their mass.

Lu Yu does not pay attention to it, but it does not mean that white dwarfs themselves are not terrible.

White dwarfs themselves are a common extreme star in the universe.

If a star-level spacecraft approaches a white dwarf at a certain distance, under the tidal gravity caused by the imbalance of gravity, the spacecraft will first be pulled into a long strip and hit the white dwarf in the form of a spiral. In this process, any molecular structure will be destroyed, and the matter will be reduced to the most basic state, that is, a single atom.

For such an environment, star-level civilizations will not easily set foot.

For this level of civilization, the place where the stars twinkle is where they get their energy and material supplies. Except for special missions, no one will come to this environment to carry out activities.

But as the Silver Star flew out of the space channel, Lu Yu was surprised by the scene several astronomical units away for a moment.

Densely packed spaceships traveled back and forth in this space. Several astronomical distances were still within the gravitational range of the white dwarf. There shouldn't be so many spaceships here.

But the huge spherical, triangular, and diamond-shaped spaceships in front of us came and went, and the center was the white dwarf!

"That's Base No. 23932."

"The instrument can't feel any gravitational effect. I'm afraid it's blocked by the base."

No. 7 sent Lu Yu the observed image. The white dwarf seemed to be wrapped in a translucent cube. A huge spaceship passed through the translucent cube and disappeared in the universe, and another spaceship slowly flew out from the other side of the cube and left here.

"Is it a creation of the Spiral Clan?"

"No wonder it looks familiar at first glance."

"But why does it look so much like a dock wrapped in a white dwarf?"

As Lu Yu was complaining, the triangular spaceship that flew out of the space gate after the Silver Star sent a message.

"Welcome to the White Dwarf Exchange."

"The civilization that controls this exchange was once a sub-civilization that split from our Ring Clan!"

"We can get the star map from them to thank the Horn Clan civilization."
