Wandering Meteor-Chapter 239 - 238: Huge Harvest

Five Planet Battle Stars of the Square Clan Civilization were suddenly detected fleeing.

The Metal Planet Wandering personally took Earth One to Four, the four Planet Battle Stars, in pursuit to annihilate them.

Now, Lu Chen, a Constant Star, is absorbing the giant hydrogen nebula, and within the Wandering Alliance, the Wandering possesses the strongest combat power, naturally assuming the responsibility.

The reason for Wandering’s change of heart, deciding to wipe out the military force of the Square Clan Civilization, lay in discovering their involvement with the Earth Core Alliance.

Though the specific relationship between the two is unclear, some events suggest a possibility of cooperation; thus, the Square Clan Civilization is also a potential enemy of the Wandering Alliance. Coupled with the Entropy Reduction Law, Wandering decided to strike first, a decision that received the approval of other members within the Wandering Alliance.

The Metal Planet Wandering, leading the four Battle Stars, transformed into five streams of light, pursuing the Square Clan Civilization.

As for the search operation at the Supernova Remnant site, it was left to Green Star and Earth Civilization to manage, as the site still harbored some unknown dangers. Additionally, following the recent conflicts, Green Star and Earth Civilization decided to conduct a combat exercise at the Supernova Remnant site, to enhance the combat experience of the Earth Battle Star forces.

On another front.

The Wandering, leading the four Battle Stars, had caught up to the Square Clan Civilization’s Sharp Sword squadron.

To end the battle swiftly and prevent chasing too far, which would lead to an overextended battle line, Wandering ordered the four Earth Battle Stars to harass the Sharp Sword squadron with Space Shocks while it divided its planetary body of 1300 Constant Star Masses into ten portions, each transforming into a Planet Giant Sword, chasing the Square Clan Civilization’s five Planet Battle Stars from multiple directions. freewebnσvel.cѳm

With the space shock harassment from Earth, the Battle Stars of the Sharp Sword squadron’s speed diminished, gradually allowing Wandering’s numerous avatars to catch up. Despite splitting into ten parts, each avatar of Wandering still had a mass of over a hundred Constant Star Masses, while the Battle Stars of the Sharp Sword squadron measured merely fifteen Constant Star Masses; in front of Wandering’s avatars, they were as negligible as a basketball.

Therefore, facing the siege of Wandering’s avatars, the five Battle Stars of the Sharp Sword squadron plunged into crisis.

Each strike from Wandering, embodying the Planet Giant Swords, was as dominating as a forty-meter long blade chopping at a balloon, leaving the Sharp Sword squadron in a state of trepidation and panic!

Ultimately, after some resistance and struggle, the five Battle Stars of the Sharp Sword squadron were successively eliminated by Wandering and the Earth Battle Stars.

Returning to the Pegasus Supernova Remnant site with bountiful results, Wandering and the Earth Battle Stars found no changes there; Lu Chen continued to absorb the giant hydrogen nebula, while other Battle Stars searched for valuable materials within the Supernova Remnant.

Within the dim confines of the Supernova Remnant, a vast Constant Star emanated a dazzling brilliance.

Moreover, as Lu Chen gradually absorbed the mass of hydrogen from the giant hydrogen nebula, subtle changes were taking place—its size began to grow slowly, the rate of core nuclear fusion unknowingly increased, and the intensity of emitted light heightened. These were all transformations brought about by the increased Constant Star Mass.

As for that giant hydrogen nebula, its massive and irregular shape changed after its mass was gradually absorbed by Lu Chen.

From an immense nebula spanning four or five astronomical units at the beginning, it slowly contracted to less than one astronomical unit. When all the scattered hydrogen was absorbed by Lu Chen, this giant hydrogen nebula lost eighty percent of its mass, exposing the constant star embryo at its core.

It was a deep green gaseous sphere, with a mass over a thousand constant star masses, but its density was not very high, slightly lower than that of water. Due to intense friction, the temperature of the sphere had already reached several million degrees, yet even this temperature was insufficient to ignite hydrogen and form a stable nuclear fusion cycle. Thus, this constant star embryo emitted only a very faint glow, even dimmer than the light from a white dwarf star. Moreover, as the dispersed hydrogen on the surface was plundered, the external pressure disappeared abruptly, causing the temperature of the constant star embryo to begin to drop, and the inward compression to halt abruptly.

This meant that the constant star embryo lost the environment and opportunity to evolve into a constant star.

Under normal circumstances, this constant star embryo would have required a suitable environment and the external pressure’s prolonged compression to further increase the core sphere’s density and mass, until the core temperature successfully ignited hydrogen into a stable nuclear fusion reaction. Only then could it truly complete its evolution into a constant star.

It’s just a pity that with the relentless plundering by constant star Lu Chen, all of it turned into an illusory dream.

Following that, Lu Chen absorbed the constant star embryo, which had over a thousand constant star masses, completely and efficiently – an entity devoid of sentiment.

And after fully absorbing more than five thousand constant star masses of the giant hydrogen nebula, the mass of constant star Lu Chen reached 22,815 constant star masses, and its diameter expanded to fifteen million kilometers. While this was only a million kilometers more than before, Lu Chen’s star density had achieved a significant increase.

Moreover, with the dramatic increase in star mass to support even greater gravitational collapse, the nuclear fusion rate in the core area rose again, bringing the core temperature up to eighty million degrees, while the temperature of the corona layer reached 9.8 million degrees. Such terrifying high temperatures would disintegrate even the most heat-resistant metal in less than a thousandth of a second.

Of course, the strength and range of gravity were also enhanced.

However, the range of the gravity field no longer mattered. With Lu Chen’s current constant star mass, there would be a faint gravitational effect even between very distant celestial bodies, making it pointless to mention any further.

Without using the Unified Force Stone, the gravity strength could be increased up to 350,000, a magnitude that could easily capture photons and even allow Lu Chen to create a special gravity field around the constant star body.

After understanding his own situation, Lu Chen inquired with satisfaction about the other gains of the Wandering Alliance.

Earth Civilization reported to constant star Lu Chen that they had found a large amount of rare metal ore in the Pegasus Supernova Remnant, and they had also collected a tremendous amount of common Metal Elements.

To this, Lu Chen wasn’t surprised. After all, many elements in the universe originate from stars, because at the beginning of the Big Bang, only some lighter elements were formed, corresponding to the first five or six positions in the periodic table. The rest of the elements, most of which came from the evolution of hydrogen into stars, were continuously fused within the stars from hydrogen into other heavy elements, and eventually, through supernova explosions or similar explosions from white dwarf stars, a wealth of rich elements was ejected, ultimately forming this incredibly rich material universe.

Once everything was clear, constant star Lu Chen led all the members to the center of the Supernova Remnant.

There lay the star core, a remnant of the Supernova Explosion – a considerable "fortune" that constant star Lu Chen would certainly not miss.

In the end, Lu Chen captured the neutron star from the leftover star core of the Supernova Explosion and set up a separate Neutron Star Defense Line according to the previous method. Then, leading the Wandering Star System, they left and continued their journey toward the Cosmic Center.
