Chapter 1703: Chapter 669: The Death of the Sun

Wu Yong’s words immediately caused a huge commotion on site.

For today’s humans, the Source Star System and the Source Sun’s status are not as prominent as before. Humans do not lack just one planetary system to live in, but Source Sun holds special commemorative significance as the origin of ancient human civilization, especially for the Mechanical Empire.

Moreover, these heavy transport ships represent years of savings painstakingly amassed by countless people in the Far Border Star Domain, having the possibility of falling into a star and creating a big explosion truly shatters everyone’s beliefs.

They know that losing this batch of transport ships will bring at least a millennium-long period of energy shortage throughout the Far Border Star Domain.

This is foreseeable.

Originally, since the three main front-line star domains had not been swept into full-scale war, people here lived quite well over the years, relying on many military industrial orders from the Empire Core to achieve huge development.

Now, thanks to Ren Zhong’s scheme, although not as tragic as being trapped in a fallen region, the good days enjoyed for dozens of generations are certainly over, and might even fall below the poverty line.

In the past, as an industrial hub, the Far Border Star Domain might have received financial aid from the Empire Core.

But now the Empire Core is struggling to protect itself, facing difficult circumstances, and is retracting comprehensively, clearly unable to support marginal areas.

The crowd feels anger and helplessness; they don’t understand why someone as wise as Ren Zhong would make such a laughable mistake, but they have no power to resist.

They don’t know that all of this is part of Ren Zhong’s calculations.

Finally, the transport ships in the bowl-shaped formation almost simultaneously shut off their medium engines.

It wasn’t the overload crash judged by the engineer named Wu Yong, but a more proactive shutdown.

At this point, the hydrogen isotope particles initially ejected from the medium reverse-thrust engines were almost all captured by the Source Sun. However, these isotopes are not evenly distributed; instead, they are densely concentrated near the equatorial region of the Source Sun, forming a high-energy belt.

The cause of this phenomenon is simple: gravity is mutual.

Not only is there a gravitational effect between the Source Sun and the transport ships, but there is also a gravitational effect between the transport ships themselves.

To prevent the transport ships from clustering passively due to gravitational effects and possibly colliding during flight, most transport ships have a slight angle deviation in the ejection from the reverse-thrust medium engines to provide angular momentum, facilitating the maintenance of relative distance.

The ejection ports of all transport ships focus into a petal shape, aimed precisely at the equatorial belt area on the Source Sun’s surface.

Subsequently, due to the Source Sun’s own rotation, these foreign hydrogen isotopes, which were not entirely burned and treated as reverse-thrust medium, form a band on the Source Sun’s surface.

In this band, external hydrogen isotopes continually accumulate, increasingly concentrated, beginning to permeate downward, gradually disrupting the material balance on the Source Sun and altering the conditions for stellar fusion reactions.

Now, the surface of the Source Sun is beginning to erupt with massive solar flares on a large scale.

These massive flares densely populate areas near the high-energy belt region, making the Source Sun appear to have a shining "golden belt" around its waist. The interior of the Source Sun is also becoming increasingly unstable.

Then, when all the medium engines on the transport ships completely shut down simultaneously, a scene of despair unfolds for the viewers in the Starry Sky Red Peak Armor.

The speed of the heavy transport ships, losing power, gradually slows down due to the gravitational pull from the Source Sun behind them.

Meanwhile, the acceleration of the Source Sun accelerates as it draws closer to the bowl-shaped formation fleet, whose total mass ahead is approximately half its own, resulting in increasingly greater speed.

Finally, the bowl-shaped formation fleet comes to an absolute standstill in space, and the Source Sun itself crashes forward at considerable speed.

Hundreds of thousands of heavy transport ships, loaded with vast quantities of energy materials, simultaneously "fall" towards the Source Sun, smashing down like raindrops.

The people in the crew compartment of the Starry Sky Red Peak Armor witness this, and though they know this happened hours ago, they still unhesitatingly regret and beat their chests, lamenting their past choices.

Some even risk offending the Red Blade Marquis, swearing loudly in the crew compartment.

Among these people, some brought ships belonging to their respective forces, and now their ships are gone, only losing their social status.

But some are owners of the transport ships themselves, with their entire fortune invested in them.
