Helium flash generally occurs in the core of low-mass stars between 0.8 and 2.0 solar masses. It occurs in the red giant stage and is a very short-lived runaway thermonuclear fusion.

To put it simply, nuclear fusion reactions are constantly going on inside the star due to the presence of external pressure and gravity.

However, while the nuclear fusion reaction is proceeding, a huge amount of heat will also be generated. The thermal pressure caused by this heat will prevent gravitational collapse, and ultimately allow the star to operate stably in a state that can be called "equilibrium": hydrogen It fuses into helium, helium fuses into lithium, lithium continues to fuse into beryllium, and evolves according to the rules of the periodic table of elements, and finally stops with iron.

The interior of these low-mass stars is somewhat different. After the hydrogen inside them is exhausted, the internal conditions may not be enough for helium fusion to occur, and the nuclear reaction will undergo a short "vacuum period", causing the thermal pressure to decrease sharply.

The pressure decreases sharply, and the internal elements cannot resist the gravitational force, and will eventually gather together in a strange degenerate state. When it accumulates to a certain extent, violent helium fusion will begin, causing the star's temperature to rise dramatically, possibly even More than 100 million times the normal temperature of the star, until the thermal pressure climbs to a value again, and the gravity and thermal pressure inside the star form a balance.

Blue giant stars are stars with too much mass, and theoretically there will be no helium flash, but human interference will be different.

Feeling the nuclear fusion reaction going on violently inside the star, Harry felt something strange - now he felt like he was peeping into nature.

"Harry? Are you ready? I have to say my hands are shaking a little, we're going to shorten the life of a star."

Dr. Otto's voice came from my ears. The theoretical support for this project was improved by the scientific research team led by Dr. Otto.

The scientific research team has performed millions of calculations and verifications day and night, and now it is time to verify their control software.

"I feel good." More than good, the secrets of the atom were revealed to Harry.

Overnight, he seemed to have no seniors in nuclear physics. Harry felt that if he continued with this project, he could see more.

"Then, the next step is to limit the reaction of helium elements and let them enter the degenerate state and cause retention."

A large amount of data and calculation processes flashed through Harry's mind, and at this moment, he was rapidly accepting the calculation data from Oyce.

These helium elements would not be retained under the huge gravitational pull of the blue giant, but would continue to complete fusion, but now, the situation has changed.

The next moment, all the helium elements in the star stopped reacting, and a thick barrier seemed to appear between it and the lithium element, making the fusion reaction difficult to proceed.

"Unbelievable..." Dr. Otto observed the data coming from inside. This scene that violated the laws of physics made him extremely excited!

"Okay... there are some deviations in the heat, adjust the mass of hydrogen that needs to be burned - new data has been generated, pay attention to control!"

Although he knew that the efficiency of shouting outside was far lower than that of Ois's direct nerve conduction, Otto couldn't help but want to shout twice.

The brightness of the star dropped by nearly 13% in [-] seconds. This phenomenon shocked everyone!

All it takes is one thought for the laws of physics to break?

"Sir, new data has been uploaded. It is recommended to resume the helium fusion reaction in 13 seconds. The countdown has begun. 12...11...10..."

"...1!"

The time shortened little by little, and the mass of the retained helium immediately reached the expected range. Harry immediately controlled the fusion law to return to normal!

Enough helium is directly fused into carbon element, and terrifying energy explodes!

"Helium flash occurs, the carbon element production rate is in line with the predicted model, and the heat rises!"

The dim star exploded violently the next moment, and its brightness climbed to 100 times its normal brightness in one second!And it continues to climb!

The entire command center was hit by the heat flow, and the invisible shield bounced away the erupting magnetic fluid - if this shield was not maintained by infinite gems, it would probably collapse in an instant!

The terrifying storm soon stopped, and silence fell in the command room until Oyce's calculations were completed.

"The response returned to normal. The brightness peak, internal thermal pressure and gravity values ​​were in line with expectations. The deviation from the model was less than one ten millionth. The experiment was successful. Congratulations to everyone."

"Great!"

"Success! We controlled the lifespan of a star!"

The dwarves roared and hugged each other, and this great scientific experiment was recorded and shared with all Osborn employees for research.

Stars, they are the stars that people see when they look into the night sky.

Nuclear fusion has been likened to "the technology that holds the stars in your hands," but now, the Osborne Group has truly held the "stars" in its hands.

After disconnecting, Harry stretched a little and stood up from his seat.

"This is really... too great." Dr. Otto stared blankly at the blue giant star that had returned to a new equilibrium point.

The color of the entire star has undergone some changes. These 13 seconds have at least fast-forwarded the life process of this giant star by thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

"Doctor, there are still many miracles waiting to be reproduced - if you want, you can control these facilities yourself." Harry patted his shoulder and said.

"Me? Can I do it too? I don't have any superpowers..." Dr. Otto also knew about the existence of psychic powers, but he didn't think he had such potential.

"That's not necessarily the case. A special plant will be planted on the Jupiter farm, which can very well stimulate the psychic potential of ordinary people."

When Otto heard the news, he calmed down and said with great emotion: "To be honest - you have brought me too many surprises. I never expected such a thing."

Harry shrugged: "Doctor, you didn't expect it, but the future is right in front of you."

The Great Psionic Awakening is the next important step in the company's journey, and right now it's just a small demonstration of the power of psychic energy.

The blue giant's accelerated evolution plan needs to be carried out hundreds or thousands of times. After reaching a certain stage, a neutron star material decompressor will be installed on the surface of the star to collect neutron material from it.

The whole process would take months or even a whole year, and there was no way Harry could work here.

This footage will be broken down into technical teaching materials and distributed to new Inhumans joining the Engineering Department, the first psykers of the Osborn Group.

However, at present, it seems that their psychic powers are uneven. If they want to be truly put into large-scale use, their potential must be divided for easy deployment.

"Sir, congratulations. This project has made a good start and the remaining tasks have been assigned."

"Great, let's see what's going on on the other side."

The reconstruction of New Nidawi is to lay the foundation for psychic technology, and at the same time another work of the same nature needs to be carried out.

That's robbing...no, it should be acquiring the Terrigen Crystal.
