It has been two years since Chen Tang entered the world of Kyushu. Even when he was on the secular earth, he was very interested in astronomy. In his early days, he also studied various celestial bodies in the starry sky for a period of time through some popular science books.

I dare not call myself an astronomer, but at least I can be considered a fan of this field, and I am by no means a novice in astronomy...

But even so, he was still shocked when he suddenly saw this star appearing in the distance in the starry sky ahead, and was stunned on the spot.

Because this is clearly a red giant star.

A red giant is actually a star. To be precise, it is a star that has entered a period of decline.

The surface temperature of stars entering this stage is relatively low, only a few thousand degrees, but their volume can expand to dozens or even hundreds of times that before this stage.

Ordinary stars are already extremely huge. When they expand to this extent, you can imagine how terrifying their size will be.

Because stars at this stage look red in color and are very large, they are called red giants.

When a star passes through its long young adulthood, that is, the main sequence star stage, and enters old age, it will first become a red giant.

A red giant star is a short unstable stage that a star goes through in its later stages of combustion. Depending on the mass of the star, it lasts only a few million years.

This is very short compared to the stable period of stars that lasts for billions or even tens of billions of years.

Therefore, red giant stars are extremely rare in the vast starry sky... This is why Chen Tang was so shocked at this moment.

After a brief moment of sluggishness, he came back to his senses with a shock. His face was still shocked, but his eyes showed unprecedented vigilance.

Red giant stars are extremely dangerous because they are not stable and are still evolving...

The reason why stars burn fiercely and emit light and heat is caused by the huge thermonuclear fusion that always exists inside them.

Nuclear fusion mainly occurs in its core, and the radiation pressure is balanced by the gravitational pull of its own contraction.

However, the burning of hydrogen inside the star is very fast, and a helium core is formed in the center and continues to grow.

As time goes by, there is less and less hydrogen around the helium core, and the energy generated by the central core is no longer enough to maintain its radiation, so the balance is broken and gravity prevails. Stars with helium cores and hydrogen shells are under the influence of gravity

will shrink and collapse.

This process of core shrinkage and outer shell expansion is the process by which a star transforms into a red giant. It only lasts for hundreds of thousands of years out of a star's life of billions of years.

The final evolution result of the red giant star is either the complete collapse of the star towards the center of the star core and the formation of a white dwarf star.

Or, it mutates during the gravitational contraction of the star, becoming a neutron star in the variable star category, or even a neutron pulsar, or even completely collapses into a black hole...

The red giant star in front of us is evolving towards one of these two endings. It may take tens of thousands of years to reach the final step, but it may also be in the next moment.

You can imagine how dangerous it is when a huge red giant star collapses due to gravitational contraction, and the extremely vast starry sky will be affected.

If you happened to be in this starry sky again, who would dare to take it lightly?

Chen Tang asked himself, if he encountered such an extremely unstable red giant star in the starry sky, which could completely collapse at any time, he would definitely stay away as soon as possible...

But at this moment, he realized that there were actually quite a lot of people who were desperate for their lives.

Because just around the red giant star in the far distance in the starry sky ahead, he clearly saw huge starry sky operation platforms. Not only were there various equipment on them, but some figures were also vaguely visible.

These working platforms are huge in scale. The smallest one is tens of thousands of meters in diameter and is divided into many layers. They cannot be built overnight.

These guys actually built such a large-scale operating platform around an extremely unstable red giant star, and were willing to take such huge risks. The only reason could only be that the benefits were so huge that they were willing to take risks, even without regard for their lives.

Moreover, judging from the various instruments and equipment on these giant operating platforms, many of which cannot even be named or functioned, it is obvious that the builders of the platform are collecting some kind of energy here.

And this energy must be related to this red giant star. Otherwise, why would the platform be built in such a dangerous place?

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Chen Tang's curiosity suddenly became more intense. After taking a deep breath to calm his mind slightly, he swayed and continued to move forward.

He decided to investigate first to see what kind of energy or matter these giant platforms were collecting around a red giant, taking huge risks.

After getting the result, go to a remote area, take out the small castle on the other side, and peel off the second layer of energy from the two light balls.

And through data analysis, they determined the specific coordinates of what Wen Jiyue and the Taboo Layer entrusted themselves to find when entering this interlayer of the plane...

Of course, it is definitely not an easy task to sneak into these giant working platforms and find out what is going on.

Although the starry sky experts who actually control the operations on the platform have the existence of the eleventh stage or even the tenth stage, the ancestors of the thirteenth stage and even the fourteenth stage can be seen on almost every platform.

level exists.

Even if there are no strong figures of this level currently seen on some platforms, it does not mean that there are not some in the inner cabin of the working platform...

In the construction of giant platforms in this place where giants gather, without ancestor-level combat power, I am afraid that they would have been expelled or even annexed by the old monsters on other operating platforms.

Chen Tang knew this very well, so he did not dare to take it lightly...

While he was still very far away, Chen Tang had already mobilized his spiritual power to cover his whole body, hiding his body shape and aura.

Even so, he did not enter a certain platform immediately. Instead, he kept his body and aura completely concealed, and walked around the outer starry sky of the red giant, moving more than twenty giant operating platforms.

Observed again.

These more than twenty giant operating platforms obviously belong to different forces. Some platforms have logos on them, which can determine their background and origin.

Some platforms don't have it, and it's unknown what force it belongs to.

Among them, Chen Tang did not recognize most of the logos on more than a dozen platforms with spray-painted logos. He had never seen them in the Kyushu Realm, which made him extremely suspicious that they came from the main universe.

Among the few logos Chen Tang recognized, one belonged to the Tianji clan and the other belonged to the Jinlin clan. They all came from the main universe, which basically corroborated his guess...
