Super Battleship Reborn

With the development of science and technology to the present level, Xiao Yu has the confidence and confidence to make such a promise. Anyway, in Xiao Yu's view, everything is just a waste of computing power. Manufacturing some entertainment facilities, making some delicacies, or multiplying a few things that they think are beauties through biotechnology, the computing power consumed is much smaller than the computing power consumed by their own painstaking research on technology .

This is a sure-fire deal.

The treatment enjoyed by the Lucca civilization is somewhat different from that of these captive civilizations. After getting along for a long time, the ability and loyalty of the scientists of the Lucca civilization have been verified. The treatment Xiao Yu gave them, in addition to the material life treatment that is equal to or even surpassed by other civilizations, there is another thing that other civilizations are extremely The most precious thing to look forward to and not dare to hope for-dignity.

No matter how much Xiao Yu did for those captive alien scientists and how well he treated them, in Xiao Yu's eyes, they are always just a piece of cargo. When they are in danger or their value is not equal , They will be abandoned by Xiao Yu without hesitation. The Lucca civilization creatures will not. If it was not Lucca scientists who were trapped in the sky blue market, but scientists from other civilizations, whether Xiao Yu would rescue them or not is another question.

During the period of entering the curvature voyage, Xiao Yu held an extremely grand reward ceremony for Lucca II, and gave it the most honorable status in the Lucca civilization. Looking at the slightly envious and jealous eyes of Luca No. 3 and Luca No. 4, Xiao Yu felt very proud: It is precisely because you are envious and jealous of Luca No. 2 that you have the motivation to work harder for me.

In stark contrast, those captured Merian civilization creatures. Xiao Yu has lost the patience to recruit them, because Xiao Yu found that no matter what method he used, it would not work against them. The means of differentiation don't work, the means of differential treatment don't work, and the bloody punishment doesn't work either.

I don't know how the creatures in their civilization have such a strong loyalty. Xiao Yu thought angrily, and simply frozen them all to save worry and save some resources. Xiao Yu plans to sell them all after thawing and reviving them after encountering the trading market.

Time slipped away in such a vigorous and energetic state.

Gradually, twenty years passed, and the fleet of Merian Civilization never came after them. On this point, when Xiao Yu relaxed a little, he was also a little puzzled.

Could it be that the superluminal detection instrument based on tachyon technology has some kind of limitation, or is it that I ran too fast and they didn't have time to catch me? That's why they didn't chase me? Well... anyway, they didn't catch me Always good. I have escaped a distance of 250 light years, which is far enough, right here, there is a star, and a planet orbiting it, which is suitable for the development of technology A good place. Xiao Yu thought, and retreated from the curvature navigation.

It's so beautiful to see the starry sky again. Xiao Yu, who withdrew from the curvature navigation and received the visible light signal again, couldn't help sighing when he saw the beautiful starry sky.

The pitch-black universe is like a huge black cloth filled with heaven and earth. On this black cloth, the stars are like beautiful gems dotted on it. There is a certain pattern in the density distribution of gemstones. The farther you go to the opposite direction of Xiao Yu's sailing direction, the sparser it becomes, and the further you go, the denser it becomes.

Here, the Milky Way can be clearly seen, and its shape is somewhat different from that seen from Earth. On a clear summer night, the Milky Way seen above the earth is in the shape of a long strip, but at Xiao Yu's location, the shape of the Milky Way seen shows a circular trend.

It changed from a ribbon to an extremely flat oval.

Moreover, from Xiao Yu's position, several cantilevers of the Milky Way can be clearly distinguished, such as the Perseus Arm and the Swan Arm. Even the Orion arm where the sun is located is impressively in sight.

This shows that after more than 10,000 years after leaving the earth, Xiao Yu, who was running around, has left the scope of the Orion arm. Xiao Yu found out his current position by comparing the records of the heroes and the measurement of some benchmark neutron stars.

I'm... about a little outside the middle of the centaur's arm, almost five thousand light-years away from the current sun. Hey, when I have time, I'd better go back to my hometown and take a look. Xiao Yu sighed, I don't know if any other creatures have entered the solar system during this period of time, and I don't know if the base I left on Titan is still there. Those wood spirits, Venus, Mars, I don't know what's going on now.

While looking in the direction of the sun, Xiao Yu's thoughts were stirring, and he traveled towards the target star in a conventional way of sailing.

Here, is a relatively dense region of stars. The distance between the nearest two stars generally does not exceed five light-years, and the density of this distance is not much different from the area where the sun is located.

Similarly, the distance from this place to the center of the galaxy is about the same as the distance from the sun to the center of the galaxy, about 23,000 light-years away.

Xiao Yu's target star is a red dwarf star, its mass is only 180 times the mass of Jupiter, which is less than one-fifth of that of the sun.

This quality means an extremely long lifespan. In the universe, there are many phenomena that seem to go against common sense. For example, the smaller the mass of a star, the longer its lifespan, and the opposite is true for a black hole. The larger its mass, the longer its lifespan. Ordinary matter always has larger volume and greater mass, but this is not the case for neutron stars and white dwarfs. Neutron stars and white dwarfs are smaller in size and greater in mass.

The planet of this red dwarf is not so much a planet as a companion star. The companion star, a brown dwarf, reaches twenty times the mass of Jupiter. Because the mass is too small, it cannot maintain luminosity through hydrogen fusion and cannot become a main sequence star. However, deuterium fusion can occur inside them, so there is still a certain amount of energy radiating from its interior. These energies are emitted mainly in the form of infrared rays.

It does not emit visible light, so this type of brown dwarf is extremely difficult to observe in the universe. Generally, they can only be seen through the gravitational wiggle method and astronomical telescopes in the infrared band.

This pair of stars revolves around an invisible point in the universe. This point is their mass point.

Two stars revolving around form a binary star system, and if the difference in mass is not too large, then they form a two-body problem. Unlike the three-body or many-body problem, the two-body problem already has a definite solution. Xiao Yu saw that this pair of binary stars was following a predictable and stable orbit revolving with each other.

In this star system, beyond Xiao Yu's expectation, there is still a rocky planet. The rocky planet, about the mass of Mercury, is orbiting the brown dwarf.

Brown dwarfs are called failed stars. They are a kind of star between gas giant planets and low-mass stars, so the status of this planet is very embarrassing. One of the definitions of a planet is that a planet must orbit a star, but whether a brown dwarf can be called a star is really a matter worth exploring.

For the time being, it doesn't matter whether a brown dwarf can be called a star or not, and it doesn't matter whether this star with the mass of Mercury is a planet or a satellite. In short, they can bring me enough supplies. Xiao Yu thought, putting the somewhat tangled Questions popped out of my head.

In addition to this Mercury-sized star, there are many asteroids in this binary star system, and the number is expected to reach 10 million. There are also many comets composed of volatile gases, as well as dwarf planets, tiny rocks, etc., which together form this energetic star system.

Xiao Yu's huge fleet braved the hail of bullets and marched towards the rocky planet. Xiao Yu will be stationed here. With the help of the rich material resources here, he will comprehensively and detailedly sort out his current technology system. At the same time, he will speed up the research and development process of new technology. After he has new results, he will upgrade his spaceship again. class.

While advancing, Xiao Yu also manipulated the telescope equipped on the spacecraft to detect the surrounding stars.

Well, the types of stars around this binary star system are still quite rich. There is actually a red giant star there... and it has a full fifteen times the mass of the sun. This means that a supernova explosion will occur in the near future. There It's a yellow dwarf, and there's a red dwarf...

Xiao Yu recorded the data while observing.

Huh? There's something wrong with this star. After the lens barrel of the telescope turned to another direction and aimed at a seemingly ordinary star, Xiao Yu quickly discovered something wrong.

This star, only half.

In Xiao Yu's line of sight, only half of the star is shining, and the other half is completely dark, not only in the visible light band, but also in the infrared and ultraviolet bands. Even Xiao Yu wasn't even sure if there was anything there.

What's going on? Is there such a thing in the universe? Xiao Yu was shocked by this star. If such a thing can really exist in the universe, then more than 90% of Xiao Yu's scientific theories will be overturned.

That star is undoubtedly a star, and it can be easily distinguished by spectrometry, photometric analysis, etc. of the luminous half. But only half of it glows. This makes it look like a half-circle moon, which is very weird.
