Chapter 791: Chapter 668: Solar Core and Solar Wind
Scorching, viscous, burning hot…
The mont Lynn entered the stellar convection zone, he felt an imnse pressure as if he were walking at the center of a nuclear explosion. If he hadn’t already ascended to godhood, he might have been torn apart by this wild energy.
However, this also made his breakthrough speed of the stellar exterior much slower. It took him an entire week to penetrate the convection and radiation layers to see his target—the core of the Sun!
This is the region where the star carries out nuclear fusion. Its temperature reaches up to eighteen million degrees, and what is more terrifying is that the internal pressure is three hundred billion tis Earth’s atmospheric pressure. A huge amount of hydrogen atoms gather and compress here, fusing into helium and releasing light and heat that becos the source of warmth for the entire star system.
What Lynn intended to do was to make this star a part of himself!
With a surge of thought, Lynn’s divine domain had already quietly unfolded, pervading the entire core of the Sun with magic power.
As the core zone of a star, its volu is roughly one-fifteenth of the whole, but even so, it is already very large. With a diater exceeding 300,000 kiloters, it would take decades to slowly assimilate.
Even though Lynn was prepared, when he truly began to transform his divine domain, he was still shocked by the Sun’s violent and majestic power. If a planet is like a calm pond, then a star is a raging river!
The material inside is not fusing at extrely high pressure; it’s turning into energy in an eruptive state, very unstable. To pervade it, one must first withstand the violent energy shocks.
Lynn had experienced a similar sensation when rging with the core of a planet, except that it was thousands of tis more terrifying than that!
The conflict taking place inside the stellar body quickly triggered more intense stellar activity. Solar flares were even more frequent, and solar winds, tens of tis more powerful than before, surged in every direction of the star system at a speed of 5000 kiloters per second.
The nearest planet’s surface began to heat up rapidly, with the side facing the Sun even starting to show signs of land lting.
The Eternal Star, located at the second position in the star’s orbit, suffered a fierce assault as well. Fortunately, besides its atmosphere, there were protective spells laid by Lynn outside the planet that were originally to prevent surveillance from geotric civilizations, and now they conveniently blocked the invasion of the solar wind.
The moon, which happened to be on the far side of the Eternal Star, thus avoided a calamity.
An apocalyptic crisis was thus averted before it ever truly threatened.
Yet there were still so who noticed the abnormalities in the skies.
“The Sun seems brighter than before!” Wizard Vire, looking up at the shining Sun above, murmured to himself.
Hearing his words, several of his students also looked up, and imdiately tears stread down their faces.
Just as Virel had said, the Sun indeed seed brighter than before. It was not a re illusion. Before, looking at the Sun would only feel slightly blinding, but now a single glance was dazzling to the point of almost searing one’s eyes blind.
“Could it be that the end of days is upon us?” a newly initiated Wizard said, his voice laced with anxiety.
Despite the church having crumbled many years ago, the spread of doomsday theories had been remarkably widespread, now birthing countless versions, with the explosion of the Sun being one of them.
Wizards from the Special Nature Conservation Society were particularly keen on promoting such theories, even believing that wizards’ unrestrained alterations to the world could lead to great disasters, asserting that returning to nature and the original ecology was the most correct decision!
In this regard, Wizard Virel, of course, scoffed at such ideas. “Have you been stuffing your books to the dogs? We should be entering a period of peak stellar activity…”
Virel lectured on, explaining to the other party what solar spots, faculae, spectral lines, and flares were…
The wizard pursed his lips; he could find the stuff Virel was talking about on the Magic Web as well, which did not match at all. According to predictions by the Wizards of Astronomy within the institute, the next peak period of stellar activity was supposed to be five years later.
The wizards present all turned their gazes to their Dean Johnny, hoping to settle the argunt conclusively.
“This is indeed abnormal!” Johnny too had noticed the anomaly in the Sun, but before the doomsday proponents could celebrate, he spoke again. “I suspect it’s probably sothing new that the Chairpersons are up to.”
Compared to these excellent graduates who had just completed their studies, Johnny, as a mber of the council, naturally knew a bit more.
The students also thought of this possibility. Although they were not privy to the Council’s plans for transforming the star system, nor aware that the entire system had already entered the Sea of Quanta, the Magic Daily frequently reported on space domain transformation, especially regarding the Moon.
Transportation between the Eternal Star and Moon was now very convenient, and as long as one could endure the monotonous life, settling on the Moon was no problem at all.
It wasn’t impossible for those Council Chairs, powerful beyond description, to take action against the Sun.
Virel and others, able to access information anyti through the Magic Web, were well aware of how imnsely huge a star was, yet those gigantic numbers were after all just symbols on paper, and there still wasn’t an accurate concept of the power of a star.
“By the way, Dean Johnny, since you completed your breakthrough last month, you’re now a Chairperson, right?” Virel asked curiously.
“Not even close…” Johnny said with a smile and a shake of his head.
A month ago, she indeed completed the legendary promotion ceremony, smoothly becoming the sixty-ninth legendary Wizard of the Council, but in recent years, the threshold to beco a Chairperson had been raised higher and higher, with not even wizards of the eighth circle guaranteed the title, let alone a newly advanced legend like her.
Hearing this, Virel and the others were sowhat disappointed. If Dean Johnny truly beca a Chairperson of the Council, a true leader of the Wizard Council, their future careers would be much easier.
Johnny shot the students a glance, clearly seeing through their thoughts—daydreaming about taking shortcuts just wouldn’t do…
“Alright, let’s put aside the matter of the Sun for now; even if it truly does explode, it’s not sothing for you to worry about. Focus more on how to perform at the academic symposium later, and don’t disgrace the institute,” Johnny reminded them.
Virel and the others imdiately snapped back to attention, feeling sowhat nervous; they had heard that this symposium was going to be a grand affair, with many well-known and esteed individuals attending.
Johnny looked toward the soaring spire, her face showing a hint of nostalgia. She rembered many years ago, back when she was an apprentice, how soone had led them to shine at an academic symposium. Now, as ti had passed, the responsibility of leading the team fell to her.
