"This isn't a place where normal flesh-and-blood creatures can survive. I've been wondering what kind of species could have evolved in such an environment." Xu Zhi stared at the television screen, sipping tea with utter calm.
Such a little life was quite comfortable.
After all, what was a White Dwarf Star? Planets naturally had lifespans. When a star reached the end of its life, most ordinary-mass planets would collapse into cold silence, becoming high-density White Dwarf Stars.
Those were ordinary-mass planets.
As for supermassive planets, they were likely to undergo a Supernova Explosion before collapsing into Neutron Stars.
At that point, a Neutron Star had already reached the limit of material density. If it collapsed further, it might become a black hole with theoretically infinite density, devouring everything.
That was how celestial bodies formed.
They were natural laws of the universe shaped by density, heat, gravity, and various other factors.
Although White Dwarf Stars were not as dense as Neutron Stars, they were still terrifying.
A Neutron Star's surface temperature could reach ten million degrees. While a White Dwarf Star's surface temperature was far lower, it still averaged ten thousand degrees.
"A White Dwarf Star with a constant temperature of ten thousand degrees cannot sustain carbon-based lifeforms, which account for more than 98% of life in the universe. Even silicon-based lifeforms, the second-largest lifeform race at less than 0.7%, cannot survive there."
"Then what about iron-based lifeforms, Teacher?"
"You mean the existence I just mentioned? In its infancy, it most likely couldn't survive either. Ten thousand degrees is still too hot—it would melt. According to clues from our investigations, iron-based lifeforms likely formed from iron-rich meteorites in the universe. In their juvenile stage, they prefer drifting through cold, silent vacuums."
"Like Geodude?"
"What does that mean?"
"Nothing. That image just
