No one in the blue star has confirmed the existence of a black hole with his own eyes at this distance.

At present, the clearest image of the black hole was released more than half a year ago by an organization composed of universities or astronomical observatories such as EHT (EventHorizonTelescope).

The entire project is called the Event Horizon Telescope. Since its inception three years ago, eight radio telescopes have been used to continuously shoot for five nights, producing 4PB of data. After more than two years of follow-up work, a black hole photo is released. come out.

A small, blurry, ring-like image of a black hole.

The black hole M87 captured in that photo is located in the Virgo galaxy, about 500 million light-years away from the Celestial Star①.

Therefore, what the blue star has captured is just a silhouette of more than 5000 million years ago.

At this moment, Xia Jiong doesn't know how many light-years the black hole above his head is away from him, but he can distinguish the bright accretion disk around the black hole and the ejection from the center of the black hole with the naked eye. Radiant jets.

Its center is pitch black, and the light twists around it, being pulled into countless long silk threads, so that it becomes some kind of viscous liquid visually.

It is not completely round, and one side will be slightly flattened. Xia Jiong can't remember the reason for this flattening, but the whole scene is indeed very similar to the special effect black hole he saw in "Interstellar" many years ago.

But the real black hole shocked him even more than the special effects image that he could no longer remember the details of.

Such a big, such a big celestial body!It just covered a tenth of his field of vision, hanging over his head!

If he can take a picture at this time, the physics community of Azure Planet will go crazy!

Xia Jiong couldn't help but stood still, and after an unknown amount of time, he finally came back to think about a question——

Why is there a black hole here? ! !

In other words, how could the "false day" that almost made the brother's Sanity point go to zero on the spot be a black hole? !

Xia Jiong rubbed his face and moved his skin, which was frozen in shock, before he could speak without stuttering and express his doubts to the Holy Spirit.

"Holy One, I can probably understand the concept of some virtual suns. But, this black hole, ah no, virtual sun, this virtual sun, it is just a celestial body with a very large mass. Because of its large mass, its gravitational force is also very large. , it should be said that the gravitational force is very strong, but in essence, as long as it is not sucked into it, it can't do anything, right?"

Xia Jiong asked questions based on his shallow knowledge of physics.

The Lingdao sage kept looking up, his head held high and he didn't move.

His appearance is not as beautiful as those gods and men in myths and legends. He can even be said to be ordinary. Xia Jiong felt strange at first, but now he took another look, and suddenly found that he could not remember the Taoist saint he saw when he entered the pagoda. appearance.

His eyebrows and eyes seemed to be changing all the time, and even the various divine birds that shuttled through his hair were also changing.

The shell breaks and cries, sheds its feathers, mates, gives birth to new eggs, dies, and when it dies, it turns into a beautiful feather and falls.

There was also his palace dress, which seemed to have quietly changed when Xia Jiong watched the black hole above his head stagnate.

The dignified Holy Spirit of the Spirit Dao should not be a lover of magical girl culture like Political Commissar Di...

Well, how does it feel that the Holy Spiritual Daoist he saw at this moment is just a phantom?

"We are different from the [-] heavenly beings who were born later. The so-called 'human form' was only defined after the appearance of those three people who happened to come from your foreign land." Seemingly aware of Xia Jiong's doubts, Lingdao Although the holy venerable still maintained the posture of looking up at the sun, he still opened his mouth to explain, "And our existence is longer than the thirty thousand gods and people, so..."

"So, you don't have the appearance of a human being. The person talking to me now is just a shadow made into this shape for better communication." Xia Jiong nodded and said, "Understood, gods are not creatures that humans can understand."

"Although you are young, you have good vision."

Holy Spiritual Dao praised.

"Well, I can only say that playing so many games is not for nothing, and reading novels, animations and comics is not for nothing."

Xia Jiong spread his hands.

Saint Lingdao didn't ask Xia Jiong to explain what is animation and what is manga.According to Zhenjun Wenfeng, although the fairy world and the lower world have been cut off from news for more than half a year, the immortal world still has a way to observe the lower world, and even know that only two of the nine saints are still alive yesterday. Has been exposed to the world.

So, it is very likely that since September [-] last year, the immortals in the fairy world have a live entertainment program called "People from Outside the Territory in the Thirty Thousand Heavens" for dinner?

Emmmm…

Knowing that Xia Jiong has a habit of talking like a fool when he is nervous, it is also a matter of course.

Saint Lingdao said: "You asked just now, as long as you are careful not to be sucked by the false sun, the false sun is not dangerous. Why do other saints fill the void with their bodies?"

Xia Jiong nodded, and the Holy Master of the Spirit Dao said, "You are asking such a question, because you have not yet reached the path to the Supreme."

The road to the Supreme is the realm of becoming a fairy queen, and the realm of ascending to the top.

For Xia Jiong, becoming an immortal is really far away, but under the guidance of his senior brother, he has understood the difference between these realms.

After becoming a fairy, after shedding the human skin, if you want to ascend, you have to convert your spiritual power into fairy power.

The process of transforming spiritual power into immortal power is the way to the Supreme.

Immortal power is far stronger than spiritual power, and it is for this reason that the excellent spirit beads that contain a trace of immortal energy are so precious.

The saying of the Holy Spirit of the Spiritual Dao means that he has not reached the realm, so he does not feel the danger of Xu Ri.

"In your eyes, what color is the empty sun?"

The Holy Spirit asked.

"Pure black."

Xia Jiong replied, this is a black hole from which no light can escape.

"It seems so to ordinary people, but as long as you can grasp the immortal power, you will be able to realize it," said the Holy Spirit of the Spirit Dao lightly, "The empty sun is extremely dark, and the center is a ball, but it is dazzling and bright."

"Hey?"

Xia Jiong blinked, frantically retrieving his pitiful knowledge of physics in the consciousness space.

How could the center of a black hole be a mass of white?Isn't this a black hole but a wormhole, the kind that can be used to travel back and forth between two different places in the universe?So it's opposite a white hole connected to it?

But the white hole is only a theoretical existence, so far there is only a model, and it has never been observed... No, no, wait, wait, his mind is going to be confused, he is just an art student!

Maybe he shouldn't be here today, but his father, Professor Xia Xingxia, should be here.

Xia Jiong's mind was muddled, and he continued to listen to the Holy Spirit of the Spiritual Dao:

"The immortal energy that allows immortals to sacrifice themselves is emitted by that group of bright white light. They pass through the barriers set up by the immortal world to block the power of the sun, and then they are reduced to spiritual energy, which is then shot on the celestial membrane to form spiritual veins. .”

Xia Jiong gave an evaluation in a daze:

"Sounds like a bit of science?"

He collected himself, synthesized what he could understand, and said:

"And, isn't it a bad thing?"

The Holy Spirit sighed.

"Or so."

He finally lowered his eyes and said:

"There's just one problem, and that's over the years, it's been trying to expand."

expansion……

Xia Jiong still finds it difficult to understand.

The Holy Spirit continued:

"Even we don't know the consequences of its expansion. The only thing that can be fully confirmed is that the darkness of the void is opposite to it, and it appears against it. It is precisely because of this that if one day its expansion becomes unstoppable, Then, in order to destroy it, the Darkness of the Void will directly destroy this world before it expands."

Xia Jiong asked: "Is this a catastrophe?"

Venerable Lingdao nodded: "This is the catastrophe."

Xia Jiong asked again: "Then, what is the son of Ying Jie?"

The Holy Spirit said: "If you only talk about the baby, then it is just an innocent person selected by the catastrophe. If you say that the son of the catastrophe will turn into a passage... the darkness of the void does not always exist. The passage of the Son of Calamity is the embryonic form of the darkness of the void."

He glanced at Xia Jiong.

"Even I can't save the heavens that have fallen into the darkness of the void. The darkness of the void is the catastrophe itself. Once it appears, it is inevitable."

Could it be possible that senior brother will become the Darkness of the Void in the future, as if floating in the universe, the body of the old evil god...

Hiss, it's still a little bit emotional.

Compared with the notebooks he had read, Xia Jiong got a little dirty in his heart.

But this reverie was only for a moment, and the young master asked him the last question.

"Just now, Holy One, you said that the saints are not the same species as the [-] celestial beings. Well, even if the [-] celestial beings become immortals through cultivation and can even be called true kings, they are still different from you?"

Venerable Lingdao said: "If you only answer this question, it will be different, but what you want to ask should be the origin of the [-] heavenly beings, and what is the connection with people from outside the territory like you."

Xia Jiong: "Yes! The Holy One knows my heart very well! It's in my stomach...cough!"

The young sect leader, who was talking nonsense carelessly, slapped himself and shut up.

Fortunately, the Holy Spirit didn't care about his little offense.

He fell into memory and said: "Using the time outside your domain, it should be more than 100 years ago. Suddenly, we realized our existence."

Xia Jiong: "?"

What is the operation of suddenly realizing one's own existence?

"We don't have the past, and we don't have any relevant memories. We live in this fairy world from the beginning of our consciousness, with the sun above our heads, and we are born with different types of powerful power.

"In order to master this powerful power, when we were groping, four of the thirteen people in this fairy world collapsed for some reason. After we mastered the power, we finally have the ability to project the realization to other places in this void, and then , among the many magic weapons, found more things that should be our compatriots."

thing……

Xia Jiong twitched the corner of his mouth.

"They were unconscious, and just like the four compatriots who died before, they were constantly collapsing. In other words, everything in the mortal world was constantly collapsing," said Lingdao Shengzun. "At that time, although we did not have the past Memories, but naturally know that if they continue to collapse, our species will be completely extinct.

"In order to save our compatriots, we tried many methods, but we didn't get a good result. Until people from outside the territory like you brought soil, plants, animals, air, water, books and Word……"

As the Holy Master of Lingdao said, a picture appeared in front of Xia Jiong.

It was a spherical membrane with a diameter of no more than ten meters, like the crystal balls sold by Azure Star to children, with trees and houses inside.

The scene inside the crystal ball is like this——

A Chinese-style carriage fell to the ground. Two ancient women sitting in the carriage fell out of the carriage and died. A male coachman was stabbed in the chest and fell not far away.

The horses pulling the carriage were struggling to stand up in panic, and the dust kicked up by their hooves could even be clearly seen through the crystal ball.

But whether it was it or the other three dead people, they were all frozen in the crystal ball, motionless.

"Perhaps it is because you came from outside the territory, so you will not be affected and will not collapse. The medical saint tried to extract your blood and combine with our compatriots who have not died..."

The Holy Spirit said:

"A baby who is not of our species, but not of people outside your territory, was born

"This is the thirty thousand heavenly beings now."
