Black technology: starting with space jump machine

"Supernova?"

Lu Yu, who had been confined to the narrow cockpit for more than half a month, had been madly improving his astronomical knowledge these days. In his opinion, the most likely subject to be promoted by his interstellar jump was astronomy.

According to the current level of human technology, the understanding of the universe is still at a very elementary and primitive level. At present, all the celestial bodies outside the solar system are through observation and speculation, or models simulated by calculation.

If some typical celestial bodies, such as black holes, galactic centers, or super celestial bodies such as neutron stars and supernovas can be observed at close range, then this data will have an immeasurable role in promoting the astronomy of the blue planet.

The outer armor set by the Silver Star can completely withstand the extreme environment around super celestial bodies. Observing in the cockpit is more like looking down on the phenomenon from a high dimension, without worrying about being instantly evaporated by high-energy rays.

Lu Yu looked at the blue stars outside. After drifting in the universe for more than half a month, his already cold mood was a little excited.

Supernovas are at the intersection of many different branches of astronomical research.

As the final destination of many kinds of stellar life, it is an important part of testing the current stellar evolution theory.

Its phenomena observed at the moment of explosion and after the explosion involve various physical mechanisms, such as neutrino and gravitational wave emission, burning propagation and explosive nuclear synthesis, radioactive decay and the effect of shock waves on circumstellar matter, etc.

The remnants after the explosion, such as neutron stars or black holes, and expanding gas clouds play a role in heating the interstellar medium.

At the same time, supernova explosions play an important role in the production of heavy elements in the universe. Nuclear fusion in the red giant stage of stars produces various medium-mass elements heavier than carbon but lighter than iron. And elements heavier than iron are almost all synthesized in supernova explosions. They are thrown into interstellar space at a very high speed. The gold on the blue star is basically born from nuclear fusion during a supernova explosion.

In addition, supernovas are the main spokespersons for the chemical evolution of galaxies. In the early evolution of galaxies, supernovas played an important feedback role. The loss of galactic matter and star formation may be closely related to supernovas.

Therefore, observing supernovas has always been an important observation topic for major astronomical telescopes on the Blue Planet.

And Lu Yu can now come to a supernova that has reached a critical state. This may be the miracle he has been pursuing!

"How long will its critical state last? If we can observe the moment of the supernova explosion and the formation of a black hole, it will be a milestone for the astronomy of the Blue Planet, right?"

Lu Yu asked the professor in the video anxiously, and the professor on the other side nodded vigorously, then seemed to remember something, opened his mouth and couldn't say anything.

Lu Yu keenly captured this expression, and then realized the fatal point, and his enthusiasm cooled down instantly.

This is a star.

Even if it is a dying star, the moment it is about to end may be the length of a lifetime for humans.

Time is so cruel, especially for Lu Yu who is about to run out of food.

In silence, Lu Yu showed a surprised expression again.

Because a translucent holographic panel appeared in front of him, with reminder text displayed on it.

[The supernova in front of us has reached the critical point. In 46 hours, this star will come to an end]

[Trigger the system task mechanism. ]

[During the task, the points reward will be doubled]

[Please select the task]

When Lu Yu was almost at the end of his rope, this black technology embodiment system that had been awakened for more than half a month responded for the first time.

There are still 46 hours? ! Instead of more than a thousand years?

So, I can still save it!

Lu Yu quickly clicked the [Task] icon on the screen, and soon four tasks appeared on it for him to choose.

Task 1: Flash of Supernova

In the cognition of low-level civilizations, supernova explosions seem to be the most peculiar celestial body in the universe. It may be a small-scale reproduction of the origin of the universe, or it may be the source of all life elements.

Observe it and get an important puzzle piece in astronomy!

D-level reward, calculate the completion degree and settle points by obtaining astronomical results.

Task 2: New material library, come quickly!

Superheavy elements are rare in planets, and mining of neutron stars and white dwarfs is extremely difficult. In the eyes of intermediate civilizations, the explosion of supernovas is undoubtedly the best time to obtain a large number of rare elements.

Get busy and enrich your material reserves!

C-level reward, calculate the completion degree and settle points based on the superheavy elements collected.

Task 3: Nascent black hole

A nascent black hole is too naive for low-level civilizations, but just right for high-level civilizations.

Capture it and transform it!

B-level reward, settle points based on the completion degree of black hole transformation.

Task 4: Just a toy

A critical supernova is a shiny marble, a good toy.

Freeze it permanently and add it to your collection!

A-level reward, settle points based on completion degree.

After browsing the four tasks, Lu Yu directly chose Task 1 without thinking.

The other three tasks, you can understand by looking at the simple task introduction. Is that a task he can complete now?

No ability!

After decisively taking Task 1, the system's personal panel immediately changed.

Host: Lu Yu

Points: 0

Mission: [Supernova Flash: 0%]

Currently owned high-tech product: [Silver Star]

In the task column, Lu Yu can check the content. In addition to the task introduction he saw before, there is the task progress.

[Supernova Flash]

[Progress: 0%]

[Achievements: None]

[Settlement]

Here, Lu Yu also got an unexpected gain. If he chooses [Settlement], even if the task progress is only 0, he can still settle in advance. The consequence is that he can no longer expect to get points, right?

Lu Yu understands that this task may be his only chance to survive. How can he settle with zero progress?

The development and improvement of scientific theories and hypotheses are inseparable from observation phenomena, and this blue star is the best astronomical observation material.

At this time, he was very fortunate to have established a certain foundation of mutual trust with the country early. Relying on his own strength alone, even if he recorded the moment of the supernova explosion worth thousands of gold, it would be difficult to get it to pay attention, let alone promote the development of astronomy in a short period of time.

When Lu Yu shared the intelligence and tasks with the country again, he soon got an unexpected reply.

"We will hold the grandest global astronomy live broadcast for you!"

"At that time, we will invite famous astronomers from all over the world to witness the moment of supernova explosion!"

"Although science without borders has become a joke now, it should indeed belong to the moment of human civilization!"

"This is for you and for civilization. We choose to open and share this moment."

Such a reply far exceeded Lu Yu's expectations, and he quickly figured out the meaning behind it.

If the records of the moment of supernova explosion only stay inside, it is unknown how long it will take for the theories or conjectures it promotes to be recognized and accepted by the human astronomical community. Lu Yu no longer has so much time to wait.

So it is better for everyone to witness this moment together. As long as they can admit that the moment of supernova explosion shot by Lu Yu at close range is real, astronomy will undoubtedly open a new chapter!
