Chapter 504 Higher Sailing Speed

Faced with this white dwarf, several scientists were full of ideas and were joking with each other: "So, antimatter is already a very powerful weapon. As long as there is enough antimatter, destroying a neutron star is no problem."

"What about black holes? Can black holes be destroyed by antimatter?"

"I don't know. If quarks can form in black holes, theoretically black holes can also be destroyed by antimatter... If quarks are crushed into smaller things, then it won't work."

...

In the end, Hei saw that the topic was seriously deviated, and finally couldn't help but announced the final answer on his own, "Our final destination this time - the Hicks Trading Market two thousand light years away, is located on a white dwarf with a mass of 0.14 times that of the sun."

"There are all kinds of birds in the forest. It is completely different from ordinary white dwarfs. It is mainly composed of oxygen and neon, and even mixed with sodium and magnesium..."

How is such a small white dwarf formed?

After hearing his description, someone soon thought of something and shouted: "Supernova explosion?!"

Hei raised his eyebrows proudly. The answer was indeed like this.

In some binary star systems, when a white dwarf continuously absorbs the matter of a giant companion star and its mass reaches the Chandrasekhar limit, the core will reach the ignition temperature of carbon fusion, triggering a thermal runaway reaction.

Thus, a supernova caused by a white dwarf is produced, which will release a large amount of energy and explode instantly.

Such a supernova is called type Ia, and after the event, it will not form a neutron star, but nothing.

However, there are exceptions to everything. There is also a small-scale explosion of type LAX. It may be that the core of the white dwarf has not been completely burned out during the explosion during the process of accretion of matter. As a result, a precious core remains after the explosion.

This small-mass white dwarf core is much rarer than the metal core of the terrestrial planet, which is GB131 that people have discovered on Nix.

It was obtained by the Hicks civilization and transformed into a trading market. At the same time, it is also a very powerful war fortress.

All kinds of mysteries make people sigh at the magical magnificence of the universe.

Supernovas are life killers, and it is unknown how many low-level civilizations they have destroyed; but they are also the origin of life. Only supernovas can mass-produce substances with larger atomic weights. Without these heavy elements, there will be no life.

Such discussions finally came to an end as the white dwarf gradually returned to calm.

Yu Yifeng walked in front of the crowd and said with a straight face: "Ladies and Gentlemen, now I announce a resolution. According to the results of the robot detection, this earth-like planet under our feet has no trace of life and is just an ordinary planet. We will be here for a while to prepare for the next ultra-long-distance voyage."

"... Manned spacecraft and scientific research spacecraft are not allowed to enter the area within 1 astronomical unit of the white dwarf. All large-scale experiments on white dwarfs need approval."

These words caused a sigh.

But if he did not add the last sentence, it is estimated that there will really be scientists who will not hesitate to try to push meteorites to attack white dwarfs, or use antimatter to attack them in order to obtain more experimental data.

This is really too dangerous. Although white dwarfs are mild-tempered, they are not something that new humans can mess around with at will.

Yu Yifeng is busy now and has no time to worry about these crazy scientists. As long as they don't commit suicide, he won't bother them.

"Huh", seeing that everything is going on step by step, Yu Yifeng breathed a sigh of relief.

Various small spaceships shuttled out from other flagships and flew "rapidly" to the Home.

It's time to hand over the shift.

The last batch of soldiers on duty have been in their spaceships for five years. It's time to return to the Noah Society and take a vacation.

When the Minister of Security Xu Yunjin solemnly announced the "disbandment", these soldiers cheered quietly, and couldn't wait to find their relatives and friends and return to their families.

Yu Yifeng had a smile on his face and was infected by their mood. It is always a warm thing to be with your relatives. Superhumans are not steel or machines, and it is normal to have a break.

Then there are decisions and discussions on scientific development.

From the Trisolarian to this white dwarf, the Noah Society has not been idle for a whole year of sailing. Scientists are busy testing the "dark matter deflection shield" and cracking various information codes.

At the same time, the government leaders have discussed more decisions about the future and will implement them one by one.

It is a habit of the new government to be prepared.

First of all, it is gene dynamics and the attached "super life plan". Some biologists have proposed that the genes of existing species can be artificially improved to create a group of super creatures with stronger vitality and better adaptability to the universe.

They are quite envious. The toad can jump so fast and be so strong. It is a bit unbelievable!

This involves L4's gene dynamics. According to the current level of science and technology, it is still in a preliminary exploration stage.

Some bold scientists believe that gene dynamics alone is still not enough, and super life needs artificial experimental transformation later. In addition to the nervous system, according to current biotechnology, everything in the body can be transformed, for example, bones can be metallized, the digestive system can be replaced by high-energy batteries, and some more powerful chipsets can be added for assistance, etc.

There are even some bold people who want to transform a group of more powerful superhuman soldiers.

But after rigorous argumentation, the plan to directly transform new humans was rejected.

Superhumans are known for their wisdom. No matter how they are transformed, they can never be as good as toads, let alone species like Quinton. However, other cats and dogs can be experimented with first to accumulate experience data.

At the same time, there is a second plan... "Subordinate Civilization Cultivation Plan".

This plan was formally proposed by Yu Yifeng.

The population of new humans is still too small, and the work on experience accumulation is seriously insufficient. Therefore, people are discussing whether they can find a friendly and loyal subordinate race.

"First, they can't be too stupid... at least they should be similar to the previous earthlings."

"Second, they must be loyal. There is no need to completely brainwash them, as long as a strong enough interest relationship is established..."

"Third, they must be motivated. If they don't even have the motivation to move forward like the Yufu civilization, we should not spend too much effort to transform them..."

The conditions are not too many, but they are relatively strict, and people have not encountered particularly suitable cultivation objects yet. The native lizards I met before were a little bit stupid, but their loyalty should be OK.

The few low-level civilizations I met later were really not that good.

However, this part of the content can still be prepared in advance, so that when it is used, there is no necessary response procedure. After all, cultivating a subordinate race is not a simple matter, and it takes at least hundreds of years.

In addition to these two plans, there is a more important third one... Theoretical analysis of the dark matter bias shield!

After a long period of argumentation, scientists have discovered that this dark matter bias shield contains super-high curvature navigation technology. This curvature navigation has deviated from the simple space distortion and expansion, and there is an inexplicable folding phenomenon. People still don’t know how this phenomenon is produced, which may involve higher extra dimensions.

Through these eight obelisks, it can actually reach... a curvature navigation of one hundred times the speed of light!

It can even be higher!

The escape invincible is indeed worthy of its name!

This speed is really too fast, so fast that it far exceeds people’s expectations! Even if it cannot be completely cracked at the current level, Yu Yifeng is still quite tempted.

Yes, he was indeed tempted. In comparison, the current speed of 5 times the speed of light was as slow as a snail.
