Chapter 414 - Ten Light-Years Away (3)

"The greater the mass of a star, the faster it burns, and the shorter its lifespan."

Inside the Type-R Spacecraft, Chen Yu gave a brief explanation to his audience while he waited for the blue supergiant to explode. "When the hydrogen fusion reaction of a star stops, the core of the star begins to collapse. Meanwhile, the core's collapse will result in an increase in internal pressure, core temperature, and expansion speed of the outer shell. At some point, the star might expand to several times or more than ten times its original size.

"If a star is sufficiently large, its core temperature after the collapse might even exceed 100 million degrees, which would subsequently ignite the helium element and start the process of helium fusion.
