Everyone's playing Red Giant? I, Black Hole, devour everything!

Lin Tian remained silent for two seconds.

In those two seconds, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

Thirty years.

Abundant resources.

The hard work of countless people.

All of this is now on his shoulders.

It would be a lie to say it's not heavy.

But from another perspective, these legacies also mean that he doesn't have to start from scratch.

Thirty years of accumulation, even if he failed to navigate the black hole route, must have yielded a wealth of valuable data and resources—things of immeasurable value to him now.

"What are they specifically?" Lin Tian asked.

Chen Wang stopped teasing him and opened an encrypted file directly.

"Here are the coordinates of three undisclosed super dark matter halos," Chen Wang said, pointing to the marked points on the star map. "They are located on the edge of the seventh star sector, at the junction of the eleventh and seventeenth star sectors, and in the core region of the twenty-first star sector, respectively."

Lin Tian's gaze was immediately drawn to it.

Dark matter halo.

Of course he knew what it was.

The biggest factor that enabled him to evolve a black hole during his novice stage was that miniature dark matter halo.

For those who follow the path of gravity, dark matter is the best food.

The three points marked on this star map, according to the data, have densities that are 280 times, 320 times, and 500 times that of a standard star region, respectively.

Five hundred times!

Lin Tian couldn't help but gasp inwardly.

The tiny dark matter halo he previously discovered had a density about ten times that of a standard star sector.

Even so, it would have been enough to propel him directly from 0.8 times the mass of the sun to the threshold of a black hole.

The three coordinates now in front of him have densities ranging from 280 times to 500 times that of the lowest density—if they were all devoured, how high would the mass of the primordial black hole rise?

Chen Wang noticed the change in the young man's eyes and knew that he had realized the value of these coordinates.

"Not only that." Chen Wang opened a new file. "These are cutting-edge research manuscripts on spacetime curvature left behind by the institute's predecessors."

Lin Tian turned his gaze to the light screen.

The manuscript contains highly technical information, involving a large number of gravitational field equations and spacetime geometric analysis.

Even with Lin Tian's vast knowledge, it would take him some time to fully digest it.

But he only glanced at the first few pages and already recognized the value of the manuscript.

It provides a complete methodology for describing the dynamic equilibrium relationship between spacetime curvature and gravitational coefficient.

Specifically, it refers to the parameter ratios under which a black hole can obtain the maximum rotational kinetic energy and the strongest relativistic jet.

Isn't this the direction of his next evolution?

The Schwarzschild black hole is just a starting point.

For a primordial black hole to evolve into a Kerr black hole, it must gain angular momentum through high-speed rotation, forming relativistic jets at its poles powerful enough to tear apart the stars.

And these things happen to be the core content of this manuscript.

"You can see the value of this manuscript without me having to tell you," Chen Wang said. "Although the predecessors at the research institute were unable to personally explore the black hole route, their theoretical accumulation has paved the way for most of the path for those who came after them."

"You only need to adjust the parameters according to the manuscript to avoid countless detours."

A complex mix of emotions welled up in Lin Tian's heart.

Without any successful precedents to refer to, they relied solely on theoretical deduction and countless failed experiments to force their way to this point on an unknown path.

This dedication itself deserves respect.

On the other hand, he also felt a sense of security he had never felt before.

Although he pioneered the black hole route, if he were to explore it from scratch on his own, it would probably take him several years to even get close to the Kerr black hole.

Now, the institute's legacy has directly shortened this process.

"There's one last thing." Chen Wang took a deep breath and turned the screen to the last page.

A line of numbers popped up on the screen.

twelve.

Below is detailed information for each item—number, specifications, sealing date, and usage permissions.

"These are twelve sealed-off 100 billion-year acceleration cards. This is the Great Xia Kingdom's most treasured strategic reserve, which has never been used in the past thirty years, not even in the most critical times."

The air in the office froze again.

Zhang Changming opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

A 100 billion-year acceleration card.

For any observer of the universe, the meaning of these four words is self-evident.

A single 100-million-year acceleration card is enough to allow a star to traverse an evolutionary process of 100 million years in a short period of time.

The billion-year acceleration card is even more expensive but unavailable.

As for the trillion-year acceleration card, there are only a handful of countries on the entire planet that can produce such a thing.

Most importantly, a 100 billion-year acceleration card is not the same as a thousand billion-year acceleration cards or a hundred billion-year acceleration cards.

Each cosmic observer has a limited number of acceleration cards available for a short period of time, making it virtually impossible to use multiple acceleration cards consecutively within a short period.

In other words, if you want to accelerate a star by a billion years, the time required to use ten billion-year acceleration cards might be dozens of times longer than using a single billion-year acceleration card!

Therefore, the longer the accelerator card is valid, the more valuable it becomes.

Moreover, the increase in value is not linear, but exponential!

One 100 billion-year acceleration card is worth more than one hundred 10 billion-year acceleration cards!

The Great Xia Kingdom could only accumulate twelve such acceleration cards in thirty years.

Now, all these resources are open to Lin Tian.

"In addition, the observation chamber has also provided you with five 10 billion-year acceleration cards, which can be used at any time without any restrictions... Are these things enough?" Chen Wang looked at him, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible expectation.

Lin Tian's answer was straightforward.

"enough."

One word, but it carries weight.

Chen Wang finally smiled.

"That's good. I'll have the items delivered to your home. The installation of the S-class observation module will take a few hours, and it should be completed by this evening."

"Lin Tian, ​​keep up the good work. The future of the Great Xia Kingdom depends on you."

Then, Chen Wang patted Lin Tian on the shoulder and turned to leave the office.

The moment the door closed, Zhang Changming finally couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"Lin Tian... I've seen countless graduates in my life, but I've never been as excited as I am today."

Zhao Yan didn't speak, but his eyes held a complex emotion as he looked at Lin Tian.

He was Lin Tian's homeroom teacher, having taught him for three years, and believed he knew this student well enough.

But now he realizes that he only knows the tip of the iceberg.

"Principal, Teacher Zhao, I'm going back now." Lin Tian didn't say much, just said goodbye and left the office.

Zhang Changming watched his departing figure and suddenly sighed.

"Teacher Zhao, how far do you think this child will go in the future?"

Zhao Yan was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Principal, I can't answer that question. But there's one thing I'm sure of—from today onwards, the landscape of the Seventh Star District is about to change."

……

When Lin Tian got home, it was already dark.

He froze the moment he pushed open the door.

In the very center of the living room, where his old observation cabin used to be, now stands a brand new piece of equipment.

It was twice the size of the original, with a streamlined silver-white metal casing and a faint halo around its surface. It looked less like a machine and more like a work of art.

Next to the observation chamber, there was a small metal box.

Lin Tian walked over and opened the box, inside which were five speed-up cards neatly stacked.

The logo on the front of the card is clearly visible—billions of years.

Five 10 billion annual acceleration cards.

This was the first resource the Black Hole Research Institute gave him.

One top-tier resource is equivalent to tens of thousands of 100 million-year acceleration cards.

These five cards alone, if left out in the open, would probably be enough to make those powerful families fight tooth and nail for them.

He put the card back in the box and turned to walk towards the S-class observation chamber.

Lin Tian lay down inside the cabin.

The hatch slowly closed.

In an instant, his vision completely changed, and he returned to the boundless starry sky.

The primordial black hole floated silently in the cold cosmic space.

In the vast expanse of space, hundreds of millions of kilometers in diameter, there is a thin layer of interstellar dust.

A black hole with 10,400 times the mass of the Sun might not seem significant on a cosmic scale, but in the Seventh Sector, it is a monster that would terrify countless people.

Now, he wants to make the monster grow even bigger.

He took out a 10 billion-year acceleration card.

"use."
