The people are collapsing, and the identities of the Star Scourge are exposed! - Chapter 104
【”Once upon a time, we relied on the gift of stars, drawing on their tiny light to survive.”】
【”Now we will tame the stars, herd the sun, and use all its light for our own benefit.”】
At the moment when the Emperor of the Scourge Empire finished speaking, various scenes appeared around him.
Primitive gatherers domesticated the first crops and established an agricultural civilization using bones as hoes.
Then the roar of machinery tamed the roaring steam, and the roar of internal combustion engines tamed the unruly flames. The lightning that once belonged to the gods was dragged to the ground and conquered by humans.
The nuclear energy that destroyed everything was restrained by the magnetic field and turned into the sun that fell on the earth.
The history of civilization is the history of domesticating nature.
From naturally grown plants to the energy released between atoms, humans have domesticated forces that the ancient gatherers could not imagine, and eventually headed for the stars.
Today, the Emperor of the Scourge Empire announced to his people:
Humans will truly tame the stars, herd the sun, and let the brilliance of the stars be used entirely by the empire.
All living beings in the universe were shocked by these bold words, and for a moment they couldn’t help but widen their eyes.
“Taming the stars, what a bold statement! But how exactly do they want to do it?”
“Could it be that 743 wants to build a Dyson sphere? ?”
“Build a star-class megastructure? ?”
All kinds of speculations came to the minds of all beings in the universe.
Beloberg, the hazy orange sun hung high in the sky, giving its brilliance to the cold planet.
The Sun Festival is the brightest day of the year in Yalilo-VI, but it still cannot drive away the cold wave covering the entire planet, and cannot bring any warmth to this world.
Looking at the sun in the sky and the scene in the light curtain,
Topa murmured to himself with a surprised tone:
“Is the Scourge Empire going to build a Dyson Sphere?”
Building a Dyson Sphere is not impossible.
If a company is willing to bear the losses and spend a lot of effort, it can be done. However, the return is far less than the cost. The technology required for research, the materials that need to be transported from different galaxies, and the high temperature environment that needs to be overcome are all very difficult to achieve….
The energy returned by a Dyson sphere far exceeds that of a civilization.
If a civilization is willing to build a Dyson sphere without burden, it means that……Their civilization had already reached the level where the Dyson Sphere could be used as a toy.
Topal’s heart could not help but jump.
The Empire, which had just unified mankind and entered its golden age, had such a technological level that far exceeded that of the company.
How terrifying would the technology of the Scourge Empire be today?
Just as Bronya was thinking, the scene on the screen changed.
【”Fully mastering the energy in stars has always been the dream of civilization”】
【”From crude combustion to a poor imitation of stellar fusion, now we are making this dream come true”】
【”On the sun of this star system sits our scaffolding, where we will build our Dyson sphere, enveloping and monopolizing the star’s energy.”】
In the light curtain, a hot star was burning alone in the void, releasing powerful light and heat, illuminating the entire galaxy.
The most unique thing was that the light released by this star was not the common orange-red, but a dazzling blue-white. Half-blue and half-purple tongues of fire kept splashing out of it, licking the cold void.
Its volume was about six or seven times larger than the common sun, but the light and heat it released far exceeded that of the ordinary sun.
Some people in the world who knew about astronomy couldn’t help but stare with wide eyes.
“It’s actually an O-type star?!”
In the Black Tower Space Station, Station Master Estelle was shocked when she saw the blazing blue-white star circling on the light curtain.
“”Miss, what is an O-type star?” Alan asked curiously.
He knew that his daughter was very knowledgeable in astronomy. (To read the novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!) She even almost had a big fight with her family because of her study of astronomy.
“O-type stars are remnants of the dawn of the universe. They are rare in number today, but their dazzling brightness makes them stand out in the night sky.”
“Their mass is only about six or seven times that of a typical G-type star, but their mass is 150 times that of the average sun.”
“In terms of brightness, even the dimmest O-type star is 25,000 times brighter than the sun.”
“The brightest one can be five million times brighter than the sun.”
Esther looked at the beautiful blue-white stars displayed on the light curtain and couldn’t help but be attracted by their splendor:
“They are the hottest, brightest, and most massive stars in the universe.”
“It is the most brilliant gem among the stars, but it is also the most violent and barbaric god of fire.”
Estelle said with amazement in her tone:
“Being able to build a Dyson sphere on a normal G-type star is already an extremely large project.”
“And the Scourge Empire actually wants to tame an O-type star that has existed since the dawn of the universe and is the most violent of all stars.”
Not only Esda, but all living beings in the universe widened their eyes when they realized that the light screen showed a rare O-type star.
When the discrete nebulae converge and shrink under the action of gravity, the matter in them is constantly compressed to produce high-intensity fusion, and an O-type star will be born.
Therefore, it burns so hot that most O-type stars will soon burn out, expand, change color, and eventually become dying red supergiants.
Therefore, there are very few O-type stars left in the universe, and they are all extremely hot and violent fireballs. []
Each one is a tongue of fire that was randomly sprayed out by the fire giant left over from the beginning of the universe. It is enough to tear the planet apart.
The Dyson sphere envisioned by all beings in the universe is nothing more than taming a G-type star like the sun of most civilizations.
Taming an O-type star that is a million times hotter and brighter than a G-type star is simply an unimaginable miracle, but the Scourge Empire wants to put shackles on this star, put it in a cage, and completely control every bit of energy it releases.
Looking at the scene in the light curtain, Topa was stunned in place.
She was willing to tame a G-type star at most for the Scourge Empire.
This was something that the company could do with great effort, but she didn’t expect that the Scourge Empire would actually tame an O-type star that was a million times brighter than a G-type star.
“This, this is too bold!”
With a million times the blazing light, the difficulty of construction is far greater than taming a G-type star.
If taming a G-type star is like trying to put shackles on a tiger, then taming an O-type star is like trying to put a top-secret prince in a cage. There is a world of difference between the two.
Topa is very sure that even if the company does not care about the consequences and tries its best, it is impossible to tame an O-type star.
“What on earth does the Scourge Empire want to do?”
Topa couldn’t help but widen his eyes and looked at the scene on the screen.
