A neutron star was also known as a Boven Star!
It could be said to be the second most massive object in terms of gravity among all celestial bodies in the universe. The only thing more terrifying than a neutron star was a black hole!
The matter that made up a neutron star was incredibly dense, reaching a terrifying mass of hundreds of millions of tons per square centimeter!
Its abnormal gravity compressed electrons into atomic nuclei, where they combined with protons to form neutrons!
All those neutrons aggregated together, relying on degeneracy pressure to counteract their own gravity. Once they reached a state of equilibrium, a neutron star was formed!
Mai Liushi's true form was a neutron pulsar. Not every neutron star qualified to be called a pulsar!
Its rapid rotation sent intense electromagnetic radiation bursting from its poles, capable of traveling extremely far. That was why pulsars were also known as lighthouses of the cosmos!
Some neutron stars were so massive that even the degeneracy pressure of their neutrons couldn't counteract their immense gravity. Once that pressure was overcome—
The neutrons would be compressed again, forming a substance denser than neutrons: Quark Fluid, also known as Quark Soup!
Generally speaking, a neutron pulsar with a diameter of just ten or twenty kilometers was already at its limit!
If it were any more massive, even the degeneracy pressure of Quark Fluid couldn't stand up to its abnormal gravity!
With no further way to resist being compressed, the neutron star would evolve into a black hole!
That was right! A neutron star could become a black hole!
Yet Mai Liushi was a neutron pulsar whose diameter had reached an incredible thirty kilometers!
Aside from a thin outer layer, its interior was entirely made of incredibly dense Quark Fluid!
