Black Technology: Start with the Space Jumper

Chapter 180 Sub-civilization

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

Hundreds of years later, if the civilizations in the surrounding star field are lucky enough to observe the situation here, they will also lament the disaster of this star.Just lost so much mass that it started entering the red giant phase early, and now it's starting to have high-frequency flashes again.
Sudden flashes of light are already an astonishing change for a star that should have been stable, and this is often just a prelude to stellar catastrophe.

As a result of the collision between the Silver Star and the mysterious weapon, the cracks in the pitch-black core burst out with amazing flashes, and a chain reaction took place with this hapless star.

Through the observation of highly filtered optical instruments, Lu Yu saw on the holographic projection that a catastrophic scene like a mountain avalanche and ground crack occurred on the surface of the star.

As if an earthquake caused the sea to churn, on the surface of this star, countless flaming peaks with a height of tens of thousands of kilometers suddenly rose up. The stars were thrown away into the star system.

After the initial few seconds, the radiation intensity further increased, quickly rising to tens of thousands of times the usual radiation of the star, and it is still rising.

From the place where the Silver Star penetrates, the star's matter is shed more violently, and a larger amount of star matter is thrown into the universe. From the observation of optical instruments, it seems that this star is the midpoint. Two fiery trees of flame appeared.

The by-product of such a scene is that the radiation from this star is unprecedentedly intense to the extreme. Under such strong radiation, if the blue star is in this star system, all electronic instruments on the planet may be scrapped in an instant .

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

But in fact, even the Silver Star was far from unscathed in the face of the impact of the creations of the ninth-level civilization.

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-tech armor that came out of the moment was made of material after all, and the terrible collision caused the absolute structure of this layer of armor to shake.

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 a little bit, and then the second layer of the silver star's vague armor was exposed.

But that's all.

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

This quick recovery is an extremely short time that Lu Yu's current observation equipment can hardly capture, let alone in the distance environment of violent collisions?

So because such a quick repair made it difficult for Lu Yu to find out, the first layer of armor on the Silver Star was not as strong as imagined after it was raised to collide with a higher civilization.

But.....it doesn't matter.

Because the Silver Star has four layers of armor, the first layer of armor can't affect Lu Yu in the living area.

But the mysterious weapon in front of him doesn't have such an enviable armor layer, and the most primitive and direct collision makes it instantly damaged.

However, it couldn't do anything to the Silver Star, so the mysterious weapon exploded, dragging the unlucky star along with it.

In the turbulent plasma, a triangular spaceship rushed out like a wild horse, it couldn't even control its own kinetic energy, and it took nearly 0.5 astronomical distances to stop the car and levitate towards Jingjing. The Silver Star approached.

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

"But the wreckage of this ninth-level civilization has also disappeared, just like the evaporated substances before."

While sending a message to the approaching delta spacecraft, Lu Yu was also transmitting the data recording the changes of the stars back to Blue Star.

The stage that the sun is going to face may be a good reference for Blue Star.

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

"Just why? If a ninth-level civilization with such technology wanted to destroy us who only had a seventh-level civilization, it would be easy, but they used this awkward way to solve us?"

"This is obviously... counterintuitive."

It turns out that this is not a special custom of your star field!
I thought your extraterrestrial civilizations always like to do this kind of gaudy style.

The question of the triangular spaceship is also Lu Yu's question. They carefully inspected the star, and after finding out that the wreckage has indeed disappeared, they can only return to the original place.

"In the inner space, I have found the fleet wreckage of 131 civilizations. They have different levels of civilization, ranging from star-level civilizations to river system-level civilizations."

"It's just that the information has been eliminated, and there is no information worth referring to left."

"So what's going on with this wreck, and whether the Wreck Research Institute found anything in it... Now all the clues are broken."

The triangular spaceship continued to say regretfully: "All of this had nothing to do with the Horn civilization, because we let you get involved."

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

These Huan civilization members 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 is also one of the most needed things at present, and naturally he will not refuse the benefits of such a delivery.

A space door appeared again.

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

In front of you... there is an obvious energy source!
This poor star, again and again, was taken away by the triangular spaceship with a large amount of mass, and finally all the gods of plague were completely sent away.

But this star system will no longer have the chance to give birth to civilization. It will take many years for the high-temperature solar material permeating the star system to cool down. At that time, the star may have reached the end of stellar evolution ahead of schedule.

"When a civilization is developing, members sometimes have diametrically opposed development directions."

"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, it has its own group of supporters, and there will be a civilization split before each other."

"Such a process will inevitably lead to the weakness of civilization for a period of time, but it also maintains the purity of civilization. Such a civilization divided into two, the part that occupied most of the members of the civilization still continues the name of the civilization, and the civilization that splits out is sub-civilization."

"I can't say how to split the sub-civilizations. In the civilization evolution we observed, some sub-civilizations adhere to the correct development direction. They may be promoted to the civilization level earlier than the main civilization. Some sub-civilizations realize that their own development Mistakes, and returning to the main civilization are not uncommon.”

"But after most of the sub-civilizations split out, they established a new civilization by relying on the technology they took away when they left. This is the normal state of civilization evolution in the big universe."

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

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

A sub-civilization split off from the main civilization?

That's interesting.

Starting from a star-level civilization, such civilization fission behavior has become a very common behavior.

Because of the advancement of learning methods and personal portable computers, the technology and weapons mastered by civilization members and civilization teams are very similar. If a civil war breaks out because of the route problem, the entire civilization may be destroyed.

But the big universe is so vast, stars and matter are not scarce resources for a star-level civilization.

Then they don't want to see each other, but if a big fight will make both sides unhappy, then we should just develop separately.

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

Lu Yu can't comment on how this fission civilization is, but there are indeed civilizations that have cast off all kinds of restraints because of this, and have been promoted to advanced civilizations in the technological explosion.

Listening to the explanation of the triangular spaceship now, the Huan civilization seems to be one of the beneficiaries of this mechanism?

But now that the trouble had reached the point of splitting, and time has proved that the Huan clan on the side of the delta spaceship is on the right path.

Then why does the delta spacecraft still obsess over this sub-civilization?Can you still grasp the other party's whereabouts even now?
However, Lu Yu is not interested in this kind of civilization ethics story. He is now thinking about the wreckage of the nine-level civilization that disappeared, and at the same time, he wants to get the star map quickly.

The wonderful space traps and mysterious weapons are really confusing with the clues we have now, but the ninth-level civilization that arranged these must be planning something.

Now that he has accepted the mission, he has to find a way to earn points for repairing the Silver Star!

As the passage through the gate of space came to an end, Lu Yu temporarily handed over this headache to the external brains of Base Zero.

When passing through the space channel, Lu Yu could already observe the situation of the destination.

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

white dwarf.

For Lu Yu, who has experienced extreme environments such as black holes, neutron stars, and supernova explosions, it is not even a big deal.

In fact, the gravity on the white dwarf is extremely strong. Roughly speaking, a standard white dwarf is about tens of millions of times that of the earth.In such an environment, no structure known to man exists that can be preserved intact.Even, the matter that constitutes the white dwarf can no longer be viewed from the perspective of ordinary matter.

An atom is made up of a nucleus and electrons, and there is a large gap between the nucleus and the electrons.If an atom is compared to a theater, the nucleus is only the size of a basketball.Electrons move freely in this gap.

But in the white dwarf matter, the distance between electrons and atoms is greatly compressed.Under such pressure, the electrons really become a "cloud", and the nucleus is soaked in the electron cloud.

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

Extreme stars such as white dwarfs and neutron stars have certain rules that go against common sense. For example, the mass and volume of white dwarfs and neutron stars are inversely proportional, that is, the larger their volume, the smaller their mass.The smaller the volume, the greater their mass.

Lu Yu doesn't pay attention to it, but it doesn't mean that the white dwarf itself is not scary.

The white dwarf itself is a relatively common extreme star in the large universe.

If a stellar spacecraft is close to the white dwarf for a certain distance, under the action of the tidal gravitational force caused by the uneven gravitational force, 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, a star-level civilization will not easily set foot.

For this level of civilization, the place where the stars are shining is where their energy and material supplies are.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 couldn't help being surprised for a moment by the scene several astronomical units away.

There are densely packed spaceships going back and forth in this space, several astronomical distances are still within the gravitational range of white dwarfs, there shouldn't be so many spaceships here.

But the spherical, triangular, and diamond-shaped huge spaceships are coming and going, and the center is the white dwarf!

"That's Base No. 23932."

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

On the [-]th, Lu Yu sent the observed image, the white dwarf star seemed to be wrapped in a translucent cube, a huge spaceship disappeared into the big universe after passing through the translucent cube, and there was another A spaceship slowly flew out from the other side of the cube, and then left here.

"It turned out to be a creation of the Spiral Clan?"

"No wonder it looks so familiar at first glance."

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

While Lu Yu was making complaints, the delta spaceship following the Silver Star and flying out of the space gate sent a message.

"Welcome to the White Dwarf Exchange."

"The civilization that masters this exchange was once a sub-civilization that our Huan tribe split off from!"

"We can get the star map from them as a way of thanking the Horn civilization."
