Chapter 493 (1/2)
”Boom, boom!”
Dozens of groups of high-power thrusters installed at the root of the longevity are fully powered, pushing its huge body to accelerate continuously, leaving a long dark blue comet tail behind.
Several high-power traction beams are directed straight at the neighboring star, exerting a huge traction force for the long-lived. As the distance approaches, the star's gravity begins to become powerful, like an invisible rope pulling the giant body of the immortal closer to itself
Although the channel selected by Nie Yun for the elderly is breathtaking, the acceleration effect is also directly proportional to the risk. With the propeller comparable to the star engine, the acceleration of the elderly will not be much slower than that of the Haizu flagship.
As a matter of fact, the longevity and the mariner's flagship have gradually separated from each other in the middle of the way. The channels of the two keep abreast of each other, except for the slightly different angle of entry into the star.
After all, the Haizu flagship did not need to accept the extreme test, and Nie Yun had no interest in testing the fire resistance performance of the Haizu spacecraft
At the moment, the image of the elder has changed greatly. On the tree crown in front of us, like a dead tree in spring, a large number of green leaves from budding to finally stopping growing took only five or six hours.
At this time, the huge green canopy has been fully formed, like a huge hat on the top of the head, shielding the blazing light of the stars ahead.
Each of these newly grown green leaves is the size of a washbasin, and if you look at them with microscopic instruments, you will find that they are undergoing amazing photosynthesis.
Moreover, the micro relaxation pores on the surface of these leaves are still actively absorbing the free cosmic dust in space.
The vast expanse of outer space is not a complete vacuum, which is filled with a variety of cosmic dust with great differences in composition and density. In professional terms, it is interstellar matter.
The composition of interstellar matter is very complex. A lot of them are neutral hydrogen atoms, or hydrogen molecules.
In terms of density, there is an average of one atom in a cubic centimeter. If an ordinary coke can is placed in space, there are about 330 atoms inside.
Hydrogen is not only the main fuel for nuclear fusion, but also an important raw material for photosynthesis to produce ”water”. It is an indispensable element in the biological fortress of the elder system.
And the huge umbrella cover of hundreds of kilometers square is like a big broom, sweeping all the interstellar dust and particles along the way, turning them into their own nutrients and absorbing them thoroughly!
Although the material density is poor, it is still a great supplement to the material circulation in the elderly, which can greatly extend the ”endurance time” of the elderly.
……
Although the body of the elderly is in deep water, it is a different world in the body, full of vitality!
The old cells are eliminated and decomposed, and are gradually replaced by more powerful new cells. With the large consumption of water for life, the tissue functions of the elderly become more and more perfect, and they begin to adapt to the harsh environment of the universe.
The metabolic waste produced by nearly 2 million Kara people, together with various industrial wastes produced by the internal mechanized ordnance factory, is recycled again through the strong digestive system of the elderly, and becomes the nutrient and raw material of photosynthesis for the elderly.
The oxygen produced by photosynthesis can not only meet the consumption of the elderly themselves, but also be used to maintain the internal ecosystem.
Attached to the living space of Kara civilization in the body of the elderly, the oxygen concentration is rising rapidly. Like the spring return to the earth, the green color is growing rapidly. In the eyes of all Kara people, even the crops in the food base are growing a little higher.
Then Nie Yun was surprised to find that if this continued to develop, maybe even the ecological maintenance system could be closed, and the ecological space could be self-sufficient by relying on the biological cycle of the elders themselves!
Stars are the source of life. With the continuous approach of the elderly, the huge amount of light energy is rapidly transformed into various energy storage materials, which circulates in the body in the form of chemical energy, providing energy for the daily activities of the elderly.
With abundant energy supply, the longevity gradually gets rid of the dependence on internal mechanical energy, and starts to stride forward to the real and complete evolution of cosmic life
As expected, the more severe the environment is, the stronger the effect of life is!
Get stronger! Still getting stronger!
If we have to use words to describe the feelings of the elderly at the moment, it is Indulge in the pleasure of evolution, can not extricate themselves!
But the happy evolutionary time is short
Neighbor star, a red dwarf star in the main sequence stage, has a mass of only 18 times that of the sun and a volume of only 17 times that of the sun. Its hydrogen combustion is slow and stable, and its life span can reach tens of billion years.
If you compare it to a pile of slow burning charcoal, then the sun is a burning torch.
Because of the stable combustion and low radiation intensity, the habitable zone of the neighboring galaxy is only 7 million kilometers away from the stars.
Cara is located in the habitable zone, and is only about 6.5 million kilometers away from its neighbor, while the distance between the earth and the sun is 150 million kilometers, about 20 times different.
