Uplifting Journey

Devastated by various explosions on the rugged Martian land, Cheng Bin clasped his hands in front of his chest, and a strange crystal about one cubic centimeter in size floated between his facing palms.

The highly focused mind energy transmits the huge amount of nuclear energy released from the collapse of the atomic nucleus, transforming it into super-powerful force to act on the crystal in Cheng Bin's hand.

The terrifying power that can tear apart mountains can barely maintain the basic shape of this carbon crystal.

This is a crystal formed by compressing a large number of atomic nuclei after destroying the electron shell of the atom under strong pressure. The atmosphere formed by free electrons fills every gap between the atomic nuclei in this crystal.

According to the Pauli exclusion principle, an atomic orbital can only accommodate two electrons with opposite spin directions, and the electrons that are forced close will repel each other due to wave interference, and the force generated by this repulsion is electron degeneracy pressure. Or it is called electronic air pressure vividly.

In this crystal, all the low-energy electron orbitals outside the nucleus have been occupied, and the electron pressure will resist the strong pressure from the outside world, preventing the matter from being further compressed.

The crystallization in this state is one of the remains that may be formed when the life of a star is exhausted and collapses—the main constituent material of a white dwarf.

About one cubic centimeter of white dwarf matter has a mass in tons.

On the surface of this crystal, due to the ultra-high density, the high temperature of nearly one million degrees Celsius and the intense radiation are restrained by the distortion of the vacuum and the strong magnetic field.

Under Cheng Bin's careful control, the crystal in his hand slowly began to change its shape. After being stretched, it was pulled away to the two sides, forming a thin film, and then gathered again, changing various complex three-dimensional geometric shapes.

Cheng Bin is testing the physical properties of white dwarf matter in various situations, trying to adapt and fully control this dangerous thing with his thoughts.

But as the crystals moved faster and faster in Cheng Bin's hands, his control effect became more and more unstable.

With an uncontrollable glaring light overflowing between his fingers, Cheng Bin sighed secretly, and flew back while throwing the substance in his hand.

Accompanied by the fleeting plasma fire, the white dwarf matter expanding at a speed of thousands of kilometers per second caused a terrorist explosion comparable to a nuclear explosion, and the strong shock wave once again blasted a huge crater on the nearby Martian land.

"Well, it failed again." Cheng Bin stopped after avoiding the core area a little. As expected, it is still a bit difficult for super matter, this is because the high-dimensional interference energy can penetrate deep into the white dwarf matter and directly transform its various energies."

"How did I do it in the world of Outland II? Is there really great terror and great potential between life and death?"

Cheng Bin recalled the short-lived white dwarf armor he made by self-mutilation with a proton cannon last time, and shook his head: "But the progress is slowly advancing, as long as it takes a little more time to maintain a small amount of white dwarf matter on the body. Stable existence should be no problem."

While Cheng Bin was thinking and waiting for the radiation interference caused by the material explosion of the nearby white dwarf to subside, a high-speed aircraft the size of a car flew over from a distance with the sound of a gas explosion.

Cheng Bin, who sensed the aircraft through the panorama, glanced over there—it was a one-time courier sent by Bai, because the place where he was doing experiments was too much electromagnetic interference caused by various explosions, and when he was in a hurry, Bai This is the only way to contact him.

"Well, although the detection and communication technologies haven't been upgraded yet, every time I return, I can solidify a little thought energy in Bai Na as a communication medium. Anyway, I need to backup Bai's core program at all times."

After muttering for a while, Cheng Bin flew up and met the messenger who was gradually losing stability in the electromagnetic interference.

"I don't know why Bai is in a hurry to find me this time"

In the silent void of the universe, an aircraft that looks like a locomotive and a large coffin, with black and white intermittently distributed, slowly moves with a long blue and white trail.

The interior space of the seemingly huge aircraft is quite narrow. In the narrow space like a cuboid, two yellow people wearing spacesuits, a man and a woman, are sitting on the two front seats.

"It's the fourth week." The woman with short hair glanced at the instrument beside her, turned her head to the man on the other chair and said, "Zhang Ping, we should be entering the horizon soon."

"Yeah..." Zhang Ping, a man who seemed to be asleep, opened his eyes, raised his hand and fiddled with the keyboards and switches around him, "It's still far away, the spaceship only takes up one pixel in an ordinary telescope, and besides being So what if you see it. Are you still worried, Liu Jing?"

"Ah, although I have written a suicide note, I still hope to return home safely." Liu Jing, a woman with short hair, glanced at the most important area of ​​the densely packed dashboard in front of her eyes. But the material used by the ion engine to accelerate backwards is nearly half consumed."

"After all, this is the first test ship," Zhang Ping sighed. "I miscalculated when filling the moon with helium-3. These are important data."

"Should we turn off the engine? The rest of the distance can be covered by inertia," Liu Jing shrugged slightly, "It's just that it will take us a long time to get close to the destination."

"No, this is the first time this spacecraft has made such a long-distance flight. The longer it is dragged, the greater the potential risk." Zhang Ping subconsciously looked up at a sealed box on the top of the cockpit, shook his head, and said, "Theoretically, We can get supplies over there."

"You also said it was theoretical. That person lost his voice for so long, and it became ah again." Liu Jing looked at his companion helplessly, then opened a lock and started typing on the side keyboard.

A large screen in front of the two lit up, and a reddish planet—Mars appeared in the center of the screen.

Liu Jing controlled the stretching and zooming in of the screen. Among the planetary images covering the screen, one could see the planet facing the screen. From the slowly rotating equator to the northern pole, a large area showed a strange color.

I don't know what is causing the electromagnetic wave interference. No matter how high-precision the telescope is, it is impossible to see the specific details of that area, but the mosaic-like scene that is different from other Martian areas is itself an anomaly.

Looking at the abnormal area, Liu Jing rubbed his eyebrows with one finger and said: "We still can't see clearly at this distance, but I heard that the observatory has photographed a lot of amazing things near Mars. You are the team leader. Have you seen those documents?"

"Ah, I have seen it." Zhang Ping stared at the screen for a moment, and his tone suddenly became strange, "...you will be able to see it soon."

In the corner of the bright planet on the screen, there are several black spots flying towards this side in a precise formation.
