Chapter 120 Magnetar

   Magnetar! A very special kind of neutron star.

  It has a super-strong magnetic field and continuously releases strong electromagnetic radiation. The main emitted radiation is X-rays and gamma rays. Compared with other ordinary celestial bodies, the lifespan of a magnetar is quite short, even only tens of thousands of years.

  However, a magnetar with a relatively strong magnetic field may emit a magnetic field of hundreds of billions of tesla, which can be called a naturally formed rotating magnet in the universe, and its danger is no less than that of a black hole.

  The Earth’s magnetic field has an average strength of 0.6 Gauss, while the magnetic field strength of a magnetar can reach quadrillion Gauss. The strong magnetic field can tear matter known to humans into the most basic neutrons.

  In 2004, humans observed a magnetar explosion from 50,000 light-years away, and its power forced the ionosphere of the blue star's atmosphere to change. If this eruption occurred within ten light-years from the blue star, the blue star's ozone would be electrolyzed in an instant, and the blue star's ecological circle would suffer a devastating blow in an instant.

   Lu Yu looked at this petite celestial body in front of him. The blue stars were spinning at a high speed, and within several light-years around was a forbidden zone for life!

   This kind of special super celestial body has a very short life span. The Silver Star has been targeting for nearly a year and immediately encountered one, and directly discovered the existence of a suspected observation station from it.

  It seems that my [luck] is as good as ever!

  In the living area, Lu Yu moved his somewhat stiff body, looking up at the blue celestial body.

  In such a terrible and extreme environment, is it possible to break through the blockade set by the restarters?

   After continuously zooming in and processing the image, Lu Yu saw an unnatural black spot almost close to the surface of the blue celestial body.

   However, it is almost impossible to observe more clearly!

  Different from black holes that swallow photons by gravity, magnetars have terrible characteristics that even photons are bound by the magnetic field on its surface.

   Now it can be found that there are other substances on the surface of the magnetar, thanks to the fact that most of the observation instruments are built-in equipment in the No. 7 base.

  Lu Yu asked: "Can you confirm that this is an observation post? Or can you confirm whose observation post it is?"

  They have now left the planetary school for millions of light years. This is a location that is not recorded in the star map given by the Qingzu. No one can guarantee that this thing is the creation of the Conscious Life Form Alliance.

  No. 7 replied while massaging Lu Yu's shoulder: "The interference is so strong that even neutrinos can't penetrate the magnetic field at all."

   "If we rely on the armor of the Silver Star to approach, we may be able to observe it more clearly, but the other party will also directly detect us."

  Lu Yu suddenly grabbed Number Seven's little hand, shook his head and said, "Do we have any choice? Let's go to that suspicious black spot!"

   It has been nearly half a year since I learned about the erasure rules.

   Half a year is just a short moment for celestial bodies, but it is already a time scale that can change the course of a lifetime for individual human beings.

  The creator of No. 7 base may transcend this universe at any time, and then No. 7 will be erased accordingly.

  She has even secretly written a new set of smart programs on Lu Yu's genetic resonance bracelet, for fear that one day she will be suddenly erased, leaving Lu Yu alone with no one to take care of her.

   How could Lu Yu not know what happened in the Silver Star?

  The more this happened on the 7th, Lu Yu knew that he couldn't wait any longer.

  No matter how terrible the magnetar environment is, can it still break the armor of the Silver Star? Could it be more terrifying than drifting alone in the dark universe?

  I used to be able to bear being alone, that's because I haven't experienced the days of having number seven!

  Like Lu Yu is now able to jump in high-frequency space, often immersed in virtual reality, isn't it because he can entrust the driving to No. 7?

   And without the perfect control of intelligent life, Lu Yu doesn't know if he can perfectly control the three-line cross-space communication!

   Regardless of whether it is psychological or practical, Lu Yu cannot accept the loss of No. 7.

The perfect drop-shaped spaceship began to cut into the magnetic field. When it was a thousand kilometers away from the magnetar, the magnetic field strength here could already smash the material structure from the molecular level. If an unlucky human came to this position, he would disintegrate in an instant into atoms, and the atomic structure becomes deformed.

  When one hundred kilometers away from the magnetar, the atomic structure will also begin to disintegrate, protons and electrons have been repelled and ejected because of their charge, leaving only neutrons that start to liquefy under high pressure.

  However, these extreme environments cannot help the Silver Star at all.

ten kilometers.

  Nine kilometers.

  …

  Finally, under Lu Yu's command, the Silver Star even stopped 500 meters away from the suspected observation station.

   It was a sphere with a radius of 50 meters, quietly suspended on the surface of the magnetar, and did not respond to the silver star that was already so close.

   "Based on this material alone, it is already very close to the strength of the first layer of armor on the Silver Star, but it doesn't seem to retain any external observation windows?"

No. 7 fed back the observation information after approaching, and at the same time analyzed: "If it does not have observation instruments, it means that there must be an auxiliary base outside the magnetar. Because the movement of the Silver Star is different from any spaceship, it is still Too late..."

   Before Number Seven could finish speaking, the surface of the magnetar, which should have been extremely hard, actually rippled like liquid, as if something had emerged from the magnetar.

   After a short wait, the object that had somehow escaped the terrifying gravitational pull of the magnetar's interior was finally lifted.

   That's a Rubik's Cube!

  In this familiar crystal Rubik's Cube, there seems to be a ray of the deepest black, which is the target substance that it has obtained from the magnetar for tens of thousands of years.

  Lu Yu couldn't help but blurted out and asked, "What base is this?"

   That's right! The Alliance of Conscious Life Forms actually uses super-civilized creations to load the tiniest matter in the universe!

   This also solved one of Lu Yu's doubts. After all, the matter that can exist below the Planck length must be very small, so small that Lu Yu doesn't know what matter can be used as its container!

  The atomic structure is already quite tight for macroscopic objects, but in the microscopic world, the gaps in the atomic structure are quite loose, otherwise neutrino detection would not be able to penetrate matter smoothly.

  Then what can the mysterious substances that are millions of times smaller than these particles be used as their storage devices?

  It is necessary to know that all matter in the currently known universe is composed of up and down quarks and electrons. Mysterious particles are smaller than them, which means that they can easily penetrate their structure.

   And the scene in front of me seems to tell everyone the answer!

  Using super-civilized creations as devices, extract trace to extreme mysterious particles from extreme celestial bodies like magnetars!

   But what Lu Yu is more concerned about now is whether this thing is an observation station of the Alliance of Conscious Life Forms?

  It is only tens of thousands of light-years away from the Planetary Academy, which is not too far away for an alliance that has mastered wormhole technology.

  Looking at the Rubik's Cube, entering the spherical observation station as if entering a liquid, Lu Yu suddenly flashed Miya's face.

  This Blue Tuanzi, who claims to be an intelligent robot, has been staying by her side for various reasons after the bionics entered the Planetary Academy. If there is no accident... Maybe I can get the answer from her?
