Harsh Environment
Based on data transmitted back by the detector, some astronomers believe that this Neutron Star was a magnetar in its early stages, but its magnetic field weakened considerably over a long period of time, though it is still much stronger than that of an ordinary Neutron Star.
Therefore, the environment of this Binary Star System can be described as extremely harsh.
Magnetars are a type of Neutron Star, but they have a much stronger magnetic field than ordinary Neutron Star.
Those objects that can be called magnetars are undoubtedly the type of celestial body with the strongest magnetic fields in the universe. They generally possess an extremely strong magnetic field of 10⁹ to 10¹¹ Tesla, where Tesla is the unit of magnetic field strength. In general, Neutron Star can be directly called a magnetar if its magnetic field strength reaches 10¹⁰ Tesla.
This magnetic field is about one trillion times stronger than the magnetic field around Earth, which is only about 30 to 60 Tesla.
How strong is the magnetic field of this Neutron Star? It is about 3 x 10^7 Tesla, or 30 million Tesla.
To put it simply, the sheer magnitude of the magnetic field is enough to give you a better sense of its power. With such a strong magnetic field, even non-magnetic objects would be instantly magnetized when they get close to Neutron Star. For example, if a human or any other living being were to come within a few thousand kilometers of this Neutron Star, they wouldn't even need the Neutron Star's Gravity tidal forces to tear them apart. The human body would be instantly magnetized by the incredibly strong magnetic field, and the body's water, being diamagnetic, would immediately cause the cells to rupture and be torn to shreds—in short, reduced to ashes.
Yes, the cause of death was not Gravity tearing, but magnetization.
Given the magnetic field strength of this Neutron Star, current human warships cannot even approach within an Astronomical Unit. Human scientists have calculated that if a human warship gets close enough, its Magnetic Shielding Material will be instantly magnetized by the Neutron Star's extremely strong magnetic field, thus magnetizing the entire warship.
The consequence of this is that the entire crew, all equipment, and all devices will be magnetized the moment the magnetic shielding material collapses. At that moment, living organisms will be completely torn apart by their own antimagnetic water molecules and proteins. If a warship were to bomb you, you would be turned into a pile of scrap metal in a burst of sparks and lightning.
Some astronomers believe that this super-strong magnetic field Neutron Star is not currently in a phase of weakening magnetic field, but rather in a phase of evolving into a true magnetar.
Some scientists believe that this Neutron Star had the same dipole magnetic field when it was born, and after a long evolution, it will eventually become a magnetar with a different dipole magnetic field.
This evolutionary process is mainly reflected in the jumps between different rotation periods. During these jumps, some physical quantities change from finite values to infinite values, including mass, volume, density, temperature, period, frequency, and speed. Of course, becoming infinite does not mean that these physical quantities become infinitely large or infinitely small, but rather that they increase from one value to another by a unit increment.
If such Neutron Star does not regain its pre-jump magnetic field strength after the jump, it can remain at the enhanced magnetic field strength, and such an evolution often takes millions of years.
Therefore, some scientists believe that this Neutron Star is in the process of evolving into a magnetar, rather than transforming from a magnetar into a normal Neutron Star.
Of course, regardless of the situation, it all points to one thing: the environment here is extremely, extremely, extremely harsh.
It can be said that when Human Civilization and the Nair Civilization entered the range of this Binary Star System, it was as if they had sailed from a calm sea into a raging, turbulent ocean.
In such an environment, if the Magnetic Shielding Material of a warship or spaceship malfunctions, the warship or spaceship will be destroyed directly in the strong magnetic field environment without any other attack, resulting in the loss of the ship and crew.
Of course, from the perspective of the human eye or visible light, this starry sky and this Binary Star System still appear as a calm expanse of stars.
Without X-ray Vision, people wouldn't even be able to see the Neutron Star in the Binary Star System; they would only see a Red Dwarf Star moving in a mysterious way around a non-existent center of mass in the Void.
But if someone possessed the ability to see through X-ray Vision, Magnetic Field Vision, and Magnetic Field Lines, they would see a galaxy more dangerous than hell. In their eyes, it would be an eternally raging sea, a place fraught with peril, a sea filled with endless swallowing vortexes and towering waves.
In short, this is the domain of the second strongest force in the universe, the Electromagnetic Force! It is a surging ocean of Electromagnetic Force! And the thing that creates this environment is that Neutron Star, which is invisible to the naked eye and has a diameter of only 13 kilometers.
Even more frightening, scientists have discovered that this Neutron Star is also a violent Neutron Star, radiating energy outwards while also experiencing geomagnetic storms from time to time.
The term "geostorm" generally refers to drastic changes in the Earth's magnetic field caused by solar flares. It is a disturbance in the Earth's magnetosphere caused by the interaction between Solar Wind shock waves or magnetic clouds and the Earth's magnetic field.
This kind of thing happens frequently in Earth Era. When the sun's surface activity is high, especially during the period of maximum sunspot activity, the number of Solar Flare on the sun's surface increases. These Solar Flare emit X-rays, ultraviolet rays, visible light, and high-energy protons and electron beams.
This typically manifests as the "autumn" phenomenon, radio outages, disruption of satellite communications, power grid tripping incidents, and malfunctions of highly sensitive instruments, among other things.
This is the effect of geomagnetic storms Earth Era. When the source of a geomagnetic storm becomes Neutron Star, all the harm will be amplified countless times.
Take, for example, the first probes sent by humans to explore this Binary Star System. No fewer than ten probe teams have perished under the short geomagnetic storms of this Neutron Star.
It's like when you're probing, the image suddenly disappears and the signal can never be transmitted back. Then, a team of detectors that were lucky enough to be far away and still survived goes over to "check" and finds out that the entire batch of detectors has been scrapped.
At that moment, the other surviving detectors also detected a Soft Gamma Ray and X-ray energy fluctuation that lasted for about 0.1 to 1 second.
It was this brief burst of energy, lasting only one second, that caused humanity to lose a batch of advance probes unexpectedly.
Human Civilization and the Nair Civilization, which have reached the level of Level 2 Civilization and possess the ability to traverse the stars, still have to walk on thin ice and proceed with extreme caution in such an environment.
Humans would never want to enter such an environment if it weren't for the need to defeat Artificial Intelligence Consciousness, because it would be far too dangerous.
