The Neutron Star Fragment.
It was a term that was unfamiliar to all human beings. But anyone with a bit of scientific knowledge knew what a neutron star was and knew the horror of a neutron star!
Even if it were small as a big fist, as long as it crashed into this fixed star system, it would be destroyed.
It was the killer star second only to black holes!
At this moment, everyone, including Chase, turned pale.
When they were on the Hope, astronomers focused on the principle of the existence of neutron star fragments and how to deal with them.
At least hundreds of such scientists studied it, but the research results were scarce. After all, the neutron star itself was what humans had never seen before. It was just theoretical speculation.
The so-called neutron star was a stellar body with a far greater mass than that of the sun.
After the hydrogen and other light element compounds inside it were polymerized entirely, there would be heavy elements such as carbon and metals. And the mass of these abundant element compounds was too huge.
That was far more than the total amount of the matter on the earth.
It collapsed under the action of its gravity, and the atom completely collapsed to the size of the nucleus. Tens of thousands of tons could even calculate each sesame-sized substance.
Such a degree of collapse had not yet reached the impossible situation of the black hole where it even collapsed and shrank itself. And the stellar remained at this time were called neutron stars.
A neutron star was such a star with incredibly dense.
Except for the matter inside the black hole, the case with the enormous mass per unit volume would be the neutron star.
Moreover, its hardness was merely unimaginable. Even diamonds could not compare with it at all.
It was this kind of substance with the most significant density and the considerable hardness known in the entire universe. And there were even small-volume fragments for it. How could it be possible!
Even though scientists had calculated the size and gravity of the matter through various means, they had confirmed that this matter could only be the neutron star. They still felt unbelievable.
Let alone whether there were scientific and technological means to break the neutron star.
There was a common scientific sense that the neutron star was caused by the internal compression and collapse of atoms with its colossal mass.
An atom was completely compressed into a nucleus without any gap. Thus, its density would be extremely high.
If a neutron star were broken and took out a small fragment, this piece of neutron star material fragment would immediately expand.
Because there were interaction forces inside atoms, including gravitational forces and repulsive forces, the repulsive force occupied a significant amount when the particles were close.
It just liked magnets of the same pole. The closer they get, the higher the repulsive force between each other would be.
If you wanted to compress the two together, a substantial external force would need.
Once the neutron star fragment left the unimaginable mass gravitation of the neutron star, it would instantly expand, and would never restore its original neutron star form.
In other words, the existence of neutron star fragments directly challenged two common-sense concepts of human science. First, how did neutron star cut it? By nuclear explosion? Or by laser? That was impossible!
The second was how the neutron star fragments preserve the neutron star’s material form and do not restore its original size? By glue? Alien brand glue?
These were all the current doubts and incomprehension about the existence of neutron star fragments in the scientific community. Similarly, with the current higher human technology, things like the impaction of neutron star fragments were unsolvable!
Yes! There was no solution!
There was no way for humans to prevent neutron star fragments from crashing into the fixed star!
When Chase heard the report from Dasin and other science team leaders, his face suddenly paled.
What did this mean?
It meant that they had just owned the planet.
The dwarf had just been conquered. And they had only mastered the whole planet.
Then within three years, they must leave here again.
And they had to enter their lonely cosmic voyage again.
At this moment, everyone felt despaired.
After a daze, Dasin suddenly roared: “Damn it! How could this be possible! Fuck! Why are we humans so unlucky!”
Everyone also looked sad and angry.
Human beings had gone through single voyages for more than ten years and experienced several desperate battles.
Finally, they settled down, but they still needed to escape to the universe like a dog again!
So ridiculous!
Chase was lost in thought.
This thing was too weird.
When he was on the earth ten years ago, he wondered if something was in the dark, guiding, and persecuting humanity’s behaviors.
It prevented humans from staying and developing on the earth.
It’s like a monster upgrade. You stayed on the map all the time, and the experience you could learn was pitiful.
And this point had indeed been confirmed.
After being forced to leave the earth, humans first experienced the Mars crisis. They then received resource replenishment on Seignior, and human science and technology could develop significantly.
Then it was on the edge of the solar system. The people of Chase owned the blue alien technology occasionally. That made human technology enter the fourth industrial revolutions, and entered the secondary cosmic civilization.
Although it had been invincible on Planet B, the development of human technology stopped again.
Many technologies had encountered bottlenecks, and there were little breakthroughs.
And now, they got the grievous news that neutron star fragments would destroy the galaxy.
Was this just a coincidence?
Chase gently rubbed his temples.
It was a fucking coincidence!
Dasin and the others suppressed their grief and anger, and they sat down on the sofa and sighed. Simultaneously, some of them even picked up liqueur and poured it into the mouth like drinking water.
Chase was also overwhelmed with grief and anger, but he was much more sensible than Dasin and the others. He immediately said, “Don’t let this matter out. It would be better that only a few people know about that. We must observe whether it is true in these three years. We should also use these three years to collect supplies, energy, materials, etc.”
Everyone nodded, they believed Chase’s words, and they really couldn’t let too many people know it.
Otherwise, there would be riots.
“You guys continue to observe it. Dasin and I will go to the meeting room.”
Chase stood up as he spoke, and then notified Reba to tell the senior leaders to have a meeting.
An emergency meeting!
