Chapter 732 Refining the Sun
Seeing his confusion, Jemin casually brought up a larger star map on the screen and circled it with his fingertip.
"I plan to integrate some planets from the original Tentacle Tree plane into the Purgatory Sulfur plane, but not all of them; a large number of planets will remain."
"It just so happens that I'm going to create new stars next. Once these stars are placed in orbits at appropriate distances from the stars, many planets suitable for your survival will be formed."
"So this is just to inform you in advance, so that when the track is adjusted, your people won't be shaken and unable to adapt."
""
Lu Li nodded subconsciously.
Relocating a tribesman is a major undertaking, but in the eyes of this shaman, it's as simple as moving house.
However, he had already witnessed the wizard's power and technological prowess, and had no doubt that the wizard could do such a thing.
His crystalline eyes scanned the star map several times, finally settling on a crucial question: "Your Excellency, since we are creating new star systems, what about the existing ones?"
"The existing stars are naturally used as raw materials for creating new stars." Jemin seemed surprised that he would ask such a question, but he still explained it briefly.
"To put it simply, new stars are created by the aggregation of a large number of old stars."
The tentacles of the hearth fluttered for a moment.
He repeatedly confirmed the meaning of the sentence using his centuries of knowledge before cautiously speaking, "Your Excellency, but this would greatly increase the mass of the new star. If we rely on external forces to maintain it in a stellar state to prevent it from collapsing due to excessive mass or prematurely entering the final stage of evolution due to gravitational imbalance—it would probably cost a considerable amount, wouldn't it? May I ask why we would do this?"
"You've misunderstood. The mass of the new star will not increase."
Jemin shook his head, about to continue explaining, when a series of steady footsteps sounded beside him.
A black giant priest strode to his side, his chest slightly open, and reported in a low, vibrating voice: "Master, the refining array has been installed."
Jemin looked up at the sky.
The ring around that star was just one small gap away from completely closing.
As the black giant priest reported, the final section of the ring was being carefully inserted into its designated position by several level-six black giants.
The gap has disappeared.
A complete, dark gold ring completely encircled the entire star.
"It's too complicated to explain."
Jemin withdrew his gaze and looked back at the furnace fence, his fingers swiftly tracing patterns on the light screen.
"Let me show you directly what I want to do."
His fingertip rested on a newly activated rune in the center of the light screen and pressed it gently.
At the same time, the entire ring around the star lit up.
Dark golden light flowed along the surface of the ring, then extended upwards and downwards, with layers of magic arrays projected from within the ring.
The edges of the magic circle interlocked, like a giant flower made of runes, slowly blooming on the surface of the star.
In a few breaths, the entire star was enveloped in a semi-transparent dark golden light membrane.
Then, with Jemin continuing to manipulate it, the refining process began.
Under the operation of the magic circle, the size of the star began to shrink.
The entire star was refined layer by layer by the magic array, starting from the outer atmosphere. The moment each layer of star matter was scanned, it was transformed into a more special energy form.
The excess energy that is "eliminated" is absorbed by the magic array and fed back into the next stage of the refining process.
With the extremely high efficiency of the refining array, the diameter of the star visibly shrank, quickly shrinking from millions of kilometers to tens of thousands of kilometers.
But the brightness of the sky did not decrease at all; on the contrary, it became even brighter.
Despite losing a significant amount of mass and energy, the energy released is actually increasing.
It was as if something had actually been extracted from the plasma that makes up the sun!
Lu Li stared in disbelief as the star above him rapidly shrank within the magic array.
The scene before him was unlike any other advanced technology he had ever seen.
It no longer falls within the scope of any "technology" he understands; in fact, it could be said to have completely overturned his worldview!
This truly is something of a higher energy state extracted from the sun, which theoretically contains nothing else.
Moreover, all physical laws are precisely controlled in an orderly manner during this process.
His knowledge base was so vast that he couldn't even figure out where to begin understanding it.
Just as he was so shocked that he forgot to curl his tentacles, the surface of the planet beneath his feet suddenly trembled violently.
Luli subconsciously turned her gaze away from the sky and nervously looked around.
On the planet's surface, circles of pre-arranged, stable magic arrays had appeared, seemingly out of nowhere.
Those magic arrays are automatically adjusting the planetary orbital parameters to compensate for the drastic changes in the gravitational field caused by the sudden decrease in the star's mass.
The ground tremors were quickly suppressed, and the planet stabilized in its new orbit as if nothing had happened.
Meanwhile, Jemin had already finished refining.
After confirming the last few parameters on the light screen, he turned it off and turned around.
The once enormous star overhead is now reduced to a tiny point of light, almost invisible to the naked eye.
But the sky was even brighter than before.
"That's it." Jemin's tone remained casual.
"With your eyesight, you probably can't see it anymore. It has now been refined to the size of a regular planet. In this form, its mass has been reduced considerably, and its volume has been compressed to one hundred millionth of its original size, making it perfect as raw material for a new star."
"To create new stars, each one requires a significant amount of old stars as raw materials. Therefore, you don't need to worry about the new stars being too massive."
The fire fence was quiet for a few seconds.
His crystalline eyes swept quickly between Jemin and the almost invisible point of light above his head, then he pressed the canopy down to its lowest point, his tentacles neatly flattened on the ground, performing a more solemn and slower bow of submission than usual.
"Understood. I will immediately return to inform my people of the relevant information. Thank you very much for explaining this to me."
After he finished speaking, he did not ask any further technical details.
His experience taught him that some knowledge is an honor to possess, but to question it is to overstep one's bounds.
In his view, the fact that Jemin was willing to explain to him was already a great act of tolerance—you know, even when he was the governor of the planet, he often disdained to explain the purpose of his orders to his subordinates.
Jemin nodded, turned around, and reopened the light screen.
On the star map, the coordinates of more than 50 billion stars are being marked one by one.
