The sight of a drop of water being continuously roasted dry in front of the fire appeared in Ye Fei's mind.

"It wasn't until Betelgeuse turned into a supernova that a large amount of stellar matter and shock waves ejected carried away the remaining gaseous matter and some solid matter, and the temperature of the supernova explosion was absolutely beyond imagination, and a few months was enough to vaporize the last remaining gaseous matter, leaving only a broken solid core." Professor Xie continued to refine his reasoning, "I don't know exactly where the mercury came from, but I can guess that there are two ways: first, the mercury compounds that were originally stored in the interior of the giant planet are heated and separated from the elemental mercury; Second, the mercury synthesized during the supernova explosion is attracted by the remnants of the giant planet's core...... What exactly is going on will have to be carefully studied to be determined. ”

Although Ye Fei understood what Professor Xie meant, he was also almost stunned by Professor Xie's theories, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to go to Mercury Star to have a look?" ”

"If you can."

"Well, not yet." Ye Fei politely refused.

Just kidding, it's a mercury star with a Milky Way flowing on the surface, and the density of mercury is also the highest among heavy metals, so it can make mercury flow on the surface of the planet instead of seeping into the ground, how does the texture of the planet itself need to be said? That kind of extreme star is not a place for people to stay at all, if you really send the old man to mercury, the ghost will know what will happen to that unlucky star core.

Ye Fei would rather throw away the two capital ships than let Old Man Xie go to the mercury star to play an interstellar adventure.

Professor Xie did not give up and advised: "When can I be." Sue me right away. ”

"Don't worry, I'll be the first to inform you." Ye Fei agreed.

Although he got the answer he wanted, Professor Xie didn't feel confident at all.

That's right, Ye Fei just promised happily.

Based on the experience of developing the Orion Neutron Star, the development of an extreme star such as Mercury will not use manpower, but will directly dispatch a special robot, which will complete the entire process from collection, separation to transportation.

Since no one has landed on Mercury Star, then he can stop Old Man Xie's expedition plan on the grounds that Mercury Star is not suitable for landing-he is so old, so he should stop a little. Don't cause trouble to everyone.

The conversation between the two came to an end. But the number of people from all over the galaxy is still flocking to Xinyuan, and in addition to determining the location of the galaxy's material, each warship is conducting a comprehensive spectral analysis in the hope of finding the superheavy elements.

The effort pays off. A battleship soon discovered the beam crystal. That is, the figure of green super-heavy element crystals. This discovery greatly encouraged all the officers and soldiers, and only a few minutes later, the first spectral line of the teleportation crystal was harvested.

The news is out. The entire fleet was boiling, and the ships worked overtime to confirm the location and content of the teleportation crystal, but what Ye Fei got next was continuous bad news.

Although there are a lot of superheavy elements produced by Betelgeuse, they are not concentrated in a certain region like neutron galaxies, but are widely distributed in the form of small celestial bodies in the dust layer that seems to be a halo, and most of them are mixed with other materials, and the total reserves must be quite large, but it is not easy to mine or collect.

If this galaxy hidden in the depths of the nebula had been left undisturbed, perhaps countless large and small stars containing superheavy elements would have formed in countless years.

Ye Fei immediately decided to put construction robots on several planetary wrecks to build a robot production line, but as soon as the first batch of robots were sent to the planetary wreckage, all of them stopped operating due to a sudden radiation storm for unknown reasons.

Although these robots have been modified to be radiation-resistant, it is clear that Cheng dù is not enough.

And radiation bursts don't happen just once, they happen at any time.

Professor Xie believes that Betelgeuse is a radiation burst that releases the residual energy of a supernova explosion, or it is possible that something is captured by the pulsar's gravity and falls to the surface of the pulsar - the escape speed of a neutron star can reach one-third to one-half of the speed of light, and the energy of a 70-kilogram person falling on the surface of a neutron star is equivalent to a core explosion equivalent of 200 million tons, which is enough to produce a radiation storm that affects the whole galaxy.

It seems to be empty within the invisible boundary, but in fact there is no shortage of small celestial bodies, and any piece of heavy metal the size of a football falling into a neutron star is an invisible radiation storm. ，

Ye Feicai was not in the mood to care about how the radiation storm was formed, he only cared about how to solve the problem that the construction robot could not leave the ship.

In the end, Captain Ye Da adopted the most direct method: order each ship to deploy the engineering cabin, carry out further DIY improvements to the robots, and strengthen the radiation resistance.

Human-sized construction robots are limited in size, and no matter how modified they are, the electronic components inside them will have a hard time blocking strong radiation, unless they are covered with a heavy lead shell like a battleship. But in that case, the slender construction robot will become a stout fat man, and both hands and feet are mainly spherical, and the appearance is not like a lifting project, but like a cute pet robot.

Ye Fei, who had tried his best, finally issued an order to expand the size of the robot, and all the parts were rebuilt except for the robot's control system.

With a fleet of less than 200 people, it is impossible to complete such a high-end work, fortunately, the modification of the robot is also within the scope of the construction robot's business, and the ship's onboard computer stores a large number of design drawings, directly to a simple modification of a mecha more than six meters high, and the large construction robot is freshly baked.

However, the design problem was only the first trouble Ye Fei encountered, although the construction of large construction robots could be completed by ordinary construction robots, but the engineering cabins inside each ship did not have so much space at all, and could not accommodate the manufacture of new robots.

Replace it with an ordinary galaxy, and you can directly take the method of manufacturing parts inside the ship and assembling them outside the ship, but the environmental radiation intensity here does not allow this!

Ye Fei urgently needed a low-radiation place for construction work, but where would he find such a place for a while? You can't dismantle the battleship, can you...... As soon as this thought came to mind, Ye Fei felt as if he had grasped something, thought about it carefully, and suddenly came to mind.

He first ordered two battleships to stop near the orbit of the first wreckage, and then concentrated several battleships near the flagship Xinyuan, and ordered all the construction robots on board to prepare for dispatch. (To be continued......)
