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

Lin Tian's brow twitched slightly.

anyone?

A name popped into his mind almost instantly.

Zhao Rutie.

The Zhao family just suffered such a huge loss at his hands, there's absolutely no way they'll let it go so easily.

However, if the Zhao family seeks revenge, they will inevitably have to pay a heavy price.

Especially after witnessing the power of the primordial black hole.

Therefore, Zhao Rutie needs outside help.

And the Amaterasu Shrine in Japan is undoubtedly the most suitable choice.

However, all of this was just his speculation.

Ryosuke Yamamoto obviously wouldn't reveal the name of his partner, and Lin Tian didn't bother to ask further.

"Finished? Then get out."

Ryosuke Yamamoto finally stopped smiling.

His voice turned completely cold.

"Lin Sang, you'll regret this."

"Soon, you will see whether neutron stars or black holes... are the true kings of the compact star route."

As soon as he finished speaking, the neutron star suddenly emitted an extremely bright pulse signal.

The next second, Yamamoto Ryosuke's star disappeared from Lin Tian's gravitational field.

……

"Neutron star...the king?"

Lin Tian silently pondered these words in his heart, and then couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

To be honest, he didn't take Yamamoto Ryosuke's threat seriously at all.

Neutron stars are simply the product of star collapse.

Although it possesses an extremely strong magnetic field, its gravitational field is far stronger than that of ordinary stars, and its surface gravity is even hundreds of billions of times that of Earth.

But all of this pales in comparison to a black hole.

Because the upper limit of the mass of a neutron star is the Oppenheimer limit.

Approximately three times the mass of the sun.

Beyond this limit, the neutron star's own gravity will overwhelm the neutron decompression, causing it to continue collapsing until it forms a black hole.

In other words, neutron stars are merely "semi-finished products" formed during the collapse of stars when their mass is insufficient to form a black hole.

Japan spent ten years developing the neutron star route to its fullest potential.

But so what?

Lin Tian's primordial black hole has now reached a mass of 62,000 times that of the sun.

The two are not even in the same league.

However, Yamamoto Ryosuke's appearance reminded him of something.

The Seventh Sector is no longer safe.

The Zhao family, the Tianzhao Society—these forces emerged one after another, each eyeing his black hole.

His very existence has begun to challenge the existing power structure.

The red giant and blue giant line has been developed for over a century, and countless people have relied on this line for their livelihood.

Now he has suddenly appeared and used a completely new black hole route to trample all the vested interests under his feet.

Who would be willing to accept that?

"Looks like I need to improve my strength as soon as possible."

Lin Tian stopped thinking about those messy things and instead pulled up the encrypted file that Chen Wang had given him before.

The coordinates of the three dark matter halos are clearly marked on the star map.

The first one is the "barren zone" on the edge of the seventh sector, which has a density 280 times that of a standard sector.

The second location is at the intersection of the 10th and 17th star sectors, where the density is 320 times greater.

The third is the core area of ​​the 21st star sector, with a density 500 times greater.

Lin Tian's gaze swept back and forth across the three coordinates before finally settling on the first coordinate.

The desolate area on the edge of the Seventh Star Sector.

"That's it."

He made a decision.

"Two hundred and eighty times... If it were to devour everything, the mass of the Primordial Black Hole should be able to exceed one million."

Without further delay, Lin Tian moved the Primordial Black Hole toward the desolate area.

During the flight, the gravitational field of the primordial black hole was not idle.

Interstellar dust, thin gas, and scattered nebulous matter along its path—everything that stood in its way was mercilessly pulled away by the gravitational field.

Although the amount of these substances is not large, the black hole's swallowing efficiency is too high.

Current mass: 62100 solar masses

Current mass: 62150 solar masses

Current mass: 62230 solar masses

……

It took about half a day to fly.

The starry sky ahead grew increasingly sparse and desolate.

To the average observer, this area is no different from a dead zone.

But Lin Tian's feelings were completely different.

He could sense that the spacetime curvature in this area was slightly concave inward.

This is clearly evidence for the existence of dark matter.

"This is it."

Lin Tian carefully scanned the spacetime structure around him.

Gravitational wave signals were emitted one after another, creating invisible ripples in the dark matter halo.

The information fed back by these ripples made Lin Tian's expression turn to disbelief.

Big.

too big.

The size of this dark matter halo far exceeded his expectations.

"Two hundred and eighty times" refers only to density.

Its scope, however, is exaggeratedly large.

Starting from the center of the dark matter halo, it extends outward for nearly fifty light-years!

One hundred light-years in diameter!

What does this mean? It would take light a hundred years to travel from one end to the other!

But what shocked Lin Tian even more was the total mass of this dark matter halo.

He made a rough estimate in his mind.

If a sphere with a diameter of one light-year were filled with nebular material of standard star sector density, it would be approximately equivalent to one thousand solar masses.

But this is the standard star region density, which is extremely low.

And what about here?

Its density is 280 times that of a standard star sector.

The range is 100 light-years in diameter.

Based on a rough estimate using the formula for the volume of a sphere—

It has at least several million times the mass of the sun.

If we were to devour all of this dark matter...

The mass of the primordial black hole will directly exceed one million.

It could even reach two or three million times the mass of the sun!

"call……"

Lin Tian let out a long breath deep in his consciousness.

Even with his composure, he couldn't help but feel a little excited at this moment.

A black hole with a mass a million times that of the Sun is definitely a supermassive black hole.

In the context of astronomy from a previous era, a black hole of this mass would be sufficient to form the core of a small galaxy.

"From this perspective, let alone supermassive black holes, I might even have a chance to evolve directly into a quasar!"

"And this is only the first coordinate..."

There are two more.

One is 320 times, and the other is 500 times.

If all three dark matter halos were completely devoured, what would the mass of the primordial black hole be?

It's worth noting that he went from an initial star with 0.8 times the mass of the Sun to a supermassive black hole that could potentially exceed ten million times the mass of the Sun—less than a month passed in between.

Such a rate of growth is unimaginable for any other being.

This is the truly terrifying aspect of the black hole's trajectory.

However, Lin Tian did not rush to start devouring.

He first checked the surroundings.

Let's see if this area is really as desolate as it appears.

Are there other observers hiding here?

Or are there any potential threats?

This was a habit he developed in his previous life at an astronomical observatory—to thoroughly understand the data before taking any action.

The feedback from the gravitational waves came back one after another.

open.

open.

It was still empty.

Within a radius of one hundred light-years, apart from the gravitational perturbations of dark matter itself, there is no trace of any other observer.

"very good."

Lin Tian nodded in satisfaction.

He was preparing to activate the gravitational field to begin engulfing when suddenly, an extremely faint signal flashed past the edge of his perception.

That was a gravitational wave signal.

Lin Tian frowned again.

"How could there be gravitational wave signals here?"

This desolate area is so barren that even observers don't bother to come here, let alone anyone set up any equipment.

unless……

Unless this signal source existed a very, very long time ago.

Lin Tian's expression turned serious.

He temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​devouring dark matter and instead directed the primordial black hole to fly into the depths of the dark matter halo, following the direction from which the gravitational wave signal came.
