NOVPUBChapter 1047 -1042: You Got Something Wrong (4)_1 Chapter 1047 -1042: You Got Something Wrong (4)_1 Lucy Watson frowned.
As a commander, such news was obviously not good, because it meant that she had even more to consider.
“So, if we think from the enemy’s perspective, destroying a star would obliterate an entire star field, but it would also disrupt their plans.
In terms of cost-effectiveness, if they wanted to destroy the entire Heritage System, they would pay a much higher price.
You cannot reap without sowing; this doesn’t make sense,” said Lucy, rubbing her forehead.
No one else spoke.
After a while, Lucy suddenly looked up at the Cloud Spirits’ scientist and asked, “If this star were destroyed, could it destroy the entire Heritage System?”
“Impossible,” the scientist replied without hesitation, shaking his head.
...
“Although the explosion of a star is very powerful in the universe, there’s a huge gap between that and destroying a large star system.
Moreover, in the central part of the Heritage System, it is almost routine for a star to be destroyed every so often, and so far, the entire Heritage System has encountered no issues.
There’s a supermassive black hole in the center of the Heritage System.
Its massive gravitational pull is what keeps all the stars in the system in constant motion.”
Lucy nodded, but quickly spoke again, “I’m not suggesting that it would destroy the entire star system.
What I mean is, is it possible that when a star explodes, it could release a kind of energy capable of destroying all life in the entire star system?”
“Well, although theoretically that’s also unlikely, nothing is absolute.
There are a few scenarios where the energy released by a star’s explosion could indeed obliterate all life within an entire star system.
The planets themselves might not be affected, but the living beings residing on these planets definitely would not be able to survive,” the scientist immediately agreed.
“For example, what happened on your planet once, the most common scenario is the massive gamma-ray burst generated after a star has exhausted its fuel, which wipes out all life within a certain range.
The intense radiation would instantly damage all DNA, causing some planets to lose their atmospheres in an instant, and naturally, life could not continue to survive,” he explained.
“Such explosions occur frequently within the entire Heritage System, though usually on a smaller scale.
But once the scale reaches a certain extent, wiping out the entire Heritage System isn’t out of the question,” the scientist added.
“I understand now,” acknowledged Lucy with a nod before sincerely thanking the scientist.
“What do you understand?” Finn Lewis couldn’t help asking.
“I think we’ve overlooked something, that is, what Sekata Brown said just now.
I’ve always been operating under the misconception that the enemy fears death just like we do.
But now, the Sektar Clan Chief reminded me that it’s not the enemy who fears death, instead, we must guard against such an eventuality,” Lucy spoke decisively.
However, seeing that everyone else seemed confused, probably not having understood, Finn Lewis seemed to grasp what Lucy was getting at.
Linking it to what Alex had said just now, it meant that, according to Lucy’s reasoning, destroying this star would only affect this specific star field, which, in turn, wouldn’t have much impact on the Heritage System as a whole.
