Chapter 106 Alliance expedition? Arriving at the M42 Nebula

"StarCraft Breaks Through American Comics"

"What's wrong with me?" The arrogant Star-Lord still didn't understand the situation.

"That's enough, let me cool off!" Out of sight, out of mind, Yondu didn't want to talk to this funny boy.

"They were still here yesterday...where will they go?" Using people's money to eliminate disasters, since he accepted the commission from the Shi'ar Empire, Yondu had to get things done.

Although in the end they may not get any news, because the Alliance battle group has already set off to leave.

After entering the jump point, it can still be tracked, otherwise the Sovereigns' remote-controlled spacecraft would not have been chasing Rocket and the others for so long.

But there is one thing to say, these golden-skinned Sovereigns really do hold grudges.

"So, boss, are we going to these places next?" The guys who had been scolded by Yondu also adjusted. They sorted out their thoughts and guessed where the Tyranid fleet might go.

But unfortunately, none of them guessed it correctly.

They thought the human fleet relied on jump points to maneuver, but they were wrong.

Xia Yan didn't quite trust the star map provided by the Nova Empire. He had never let anyone, either humans or protoss, try the jumping points marked on it.

And the facts also told him that the Nova Empire had reservations on some details.

They are now on their way to the Great Carina Nebula.

Xia Yan is familiar with this place. The Protoss' forward base is here.

At the same time, the protoss advanced to the base.

During this time, Zeratul was worried that it was becoming increasingly difficult for the Dark Templar to find Thanos's movements.

He now understood what a great and long-term exploration the protoss ancestors of the Golden Age had carried out in the galaxy.

Thanos is also more cunning and difficult to deal with than he imagined.

Thanos is no arrogant Eamon, he is great at learning and learning from his mistakes.

After several losses, this purple sweet potato spirit learned to be smart.

While he was pretending to eliminate the Dark Templar harassing him, he quickly moved all the bases he thought had been exposed, and used his familiarity with jump points in the galaxy to quickly get rid of the Dark Templar's pursuit.

The Dark Templar warriors driving pirate ships generally do not dare to risk following them.

So during this period, they achieved little in their actions against Thanos.

However, at least they have figured out the surrounding area during this time, and detailed star maps of the Carina Nebula and its nearby star areas have also been drawn by the Dark Templar warriors who love exploration.

Interestingly, there is also other life in the Carina Nebula.

Although the radiation here is intense, the space environment is unstable, and there are several time bombs that may explode at any time, the carbon-based life still proves their tenacity.

It's not a higher life form, just a few prokaryotes similar to cyanobacteria.

Although they were unable to put as much pressure on Thanos as before, the protoss' scientific research on stars has achieved great results.

A brave team of protoss accompanied Zeratul on the Void Seeker and ventured close to Eta Carinae, located in the center of the Great Carina Nebula, and successfully and safely obtained a number of data.

Of course, this approach is only relative. The Void Seeker is actually still half a light-year away from the Eta Carinae binary star system.

Get any closer and the intense radiation will blind the protoss detectors.

Eta Carinae has a relatively young and hot companion star. It is not that it is not hot enough with an average temperature of more than 5080, but that its young companion star is hotter. This companion star has a mass between times the mass of the sun and may be a Volcano. Fraye star.

The strong stellar winds they emit collide with each other, which will stimulate more radiation in high-energy bands such as X-rays and ultraviolet.

In fact, Zeratul wanted to get closer at first, but he found that Eta Carinae began to expand...

Well, it won't explode so quickly. Uninterrupted expansion and contraction is normal.

High-luminosity blue variable stars like it are too massive, so their nuclear reactions will be very violent.

Once the reaction begins, the nearly out-of-control thermonuclear reaction under high temperature and pressure will rapidly produce a large amount of heat. This heat is enough to overcome the planet's gravity, causing it to overexpand.

The consequence of excessive expansion is insufficient pressure, one of the conditions for thermonuclear reactions, and the reaction will stop. Then the heat will decrease, the temperature will drop, and the two necessary conditions are gone.

Then it will shrink under the action of gravity, the internal pressure will rise, the temperature will rise, and the cycle starts again, and so on.

Until a huge iron core is formed, at this point, its life has almost entered a countdown.

Eta Carinae, which begins to expand, will blow out strong stellar winds, and these high-speed plasmas will cause damage to the shields of the Protoss spacecraft.

Even the Void Seeker using the Xel'Naga shield cannot ignore this effect.

Twenty days later, outside the Great Carina Nebula.

Countless dazzling flashes of light suddenly appeared in the boundless space of the universe.

A huge fleet with primary metallic colors suddenly appeared in this gorgeous and colorful bright emission nebula.

The target location chosen by Xia Yan for the jump was near a young O-type star in order to find planets to replenish fuel.

The star has a mass of about 20 times the mass of the sun and has multiple planets orbiting it.

Before leading the alliance battle group to start this expedition, he took the time to check the data transmitted back by the protoss.

The planetary system of this O-type star is basically composed of huge Jupiter-like planets. There are three hot Jupiters orbiting it, and there are more Jupiter-like planets outside.

Most of them are heavier than Jupiter, and the Jupiter-like planet farthest from the main star even has a mass close to that of a brown dwarf. Of course, it cannot ignite deuteron fusion like a brown dwarf.

Like the three previous hot Jupiters, they are excellent targets for extracting directly usable thermonuclear fuel.

"Chief, do we need to build a base here?" Jefferson found a solid rocky satellite similar to Mercury on a gas giant planet with a mass close to Jupiter in the outer reaches of the galaxy.

This moon has a magnetic field just like Mercury, but its iron core is not as large, so the magnetic field is not as strong as Mercury.

Although there are no earth-like planets in this galaxy, there are many rocky satellites like this satellite that can accommodate them.

"No, it's too far here, supply is inconvenient, and it's not safe enough. Whether it's the time bombs in the center of the nebula or the alien spacecraft of hostile forces that often pass nearby, they are all threats to us." If you don't want to be discovered, you can, but you'll have to face the radiation.

The galaxy where the protoss is hiding is almost completely covered by the scorching lbv. The voyage to nebula 42 does not take as long as before, between the Carina Nebula NGC and the Orion Nebula.

From the time they set sail from the Great Carina Nebula, it only took them a few days to reach their destination.

"Chief, we have detected typical artificial radio communication signals. There must be advanced intelligent life with sufficiently advanced technology here!" The monitor, who usually remained silent, sounded very excited.

In the blz universe, except for the ued native earth humans who came into contact with some other intelligent life forms during their colonial expansion, the Tyranid humans have never discovered any civilization except bugs and protoss.

"Be careful! I don't want you to mistake a rotating pulsar as an artificial signal! This kind of mistake only made in the twentieth century is not something you should make." At that time, these pulsars that emitted signals very regularly It was really regarded by astronomers as a signal from aliens.
