Wandering Meteor-Chapter 246 - 245 Neutron Red Line

The words of Constant Star Lu Chen acted like a signal, prompting the Wandering Alliance to counterattack at this moment.

Suddenly, the Green Star Battle Star and Earth Number One Battle Star dispelled their invisibility and flew toward the Constant Star Haoxing at faster-than-light speed, with a ferocious momentum as if they were determined to perish together.

Constant Star Haoxing, being a medium-mass star with a mass of 28,000 Constant Star Masses, did not believe that a mere Planet-level Celestial Civilization and a single Battle Star could harm it. However, since the opponent did not appear to be so impulsive, Haoxing still ordered two Battle Stars from the Square Clan Civilization to reveal themselves and intercept.

Upon receiving the orders, the two Battle Stars of the Square Clan Civilization also dispelled their invisibility effects.

The Square Clan Civilization, as a third-level civilization, had more advanced research on space technology than the Wandering Alliance and naturally also mastered Invisibility Technology. Previously, when the Wandering Alliance’s Battle Stars were invisible, the Square Clan Civilization, after a meeting and discussion, also decided to use Invisibility Technology to wage an invisible warfare.

During the battle, energy attacks fired out of thin air were from these invisible Battle Stars.

Both parties were doing the same thing: detecting the position of the opponent and then firing lethal attacks. Since the naked eye couldn’t see the launch source, those energy attacks looked like cosmic light sabers firing wildly in the universe!

Now, the two Square Clan Battle Stars that had dispelled their invisibility effects blocked the path of the Green Star Battle Star and Earth Number One Battle Star and launched interception attacks.

They were two electromagnetic guns with a length of five thousand kilometers.

Witnessing this scene, the Green Star Battle Star and Earth Number One Battle Star did not flinch but continued their valiant advance as if they had some tactical arrangement.

Whizz! Whizz!

Upon closing within one astronomical unit, the Green Star Battle Star and Earth Number One Battle Star suddenly made their move, activating their weapon systems and launching a searing red energy attack the size of an arm.

At first, the two Battle Stars of the Square Clan Civilization didn’t take it seriously and even burst into laughter. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Because the Green Star Battle Star and Earth Number One Battle Star had launched something only the size of an arm, while their own energy attacks spanned five thousand kilometers. Compared to theirs, the enemy’s attack was no more than a water stream—it couldn’t even qualify as a water pipe. How could it possibly stop their attack?

However, the very next moment, the smiles on the faces of the square-shaped people on those two Battle Stars turned pale and immediately turned to horror!

They were shocked to see their two five-thousand-kilometer-long energy attacks suddenly collapse and explode, turning into brilliant fireworks in the dark universe. And from the center of the dazzling fireworks, a searing red beam of light, the size of an arm, burst out, accurately striking the two Battle Stars of the Square Clan Civilization. Amidst the horrified expressions of the square-shaped people aboard, a thunderous "boom!" sounded twice, and the two Battle Stars immediately turned into two balls of fire!

The Battle Stars and all the square-shaped people within them perished together.

Seeing this, Constant Star Haoxing finally understood the words of Constant Star Lu Chen; indeed, the opponent had some tricks up their sleeve.

In fact, it was not precisely holding back, as this was a new technology recently developed by the scientists at the Wandering Base.

Limited by the size of the Battle Star and the upper energy level capacity of the equipment, each Battle Star’s weapons system also had its limits. While the scientists were trying to find ways to increase the power of the weapons, they considered that if increasing the energy level wasn’t feasible to enhance weapon power, could other technologies be applied within the existing energy level to improve the weapon’s strength?

So, the scientists followed the example of high-density neutron stars and Black Holes, continuously compressing energy to the current technological limit, before firing the ultimately compressed high-density energy. If the energy level remained the same, the energy density would increase by tens to hundreds of times, and naturally, the impact force and destructive power of the energy attack would be significantly amplified.

Previously, those two blazing energy pillars compressed energy from a size of five thousand kilometers down to the size of an arm, endowing them with unparalleled impact force and turning them into what is known in energy attacks as "neutron stars." As a result, scientists have named this weapon technology the "Neutron Red Line," after the high density and blazing red color of neutron stars.

It’s important to note that Neutron Red Line has nothing to do with actual neutron stars.

After taking out two Battle Stars of the Square Clan Civilization that were in the way, Green Star Battle Star and Earth’s Number One Battle Star immediately followed the plan and launched two Singularity Bombs towards the Constant Star Haoxing.

Constant Star Haoxing sensed the terrifying energy contained within the two Singularity Bombs and, of course, dared not intercept them directly. As it retreated, it fired two beams of Crown Hole Radiation, destroying the Singularity Bombs. The two bombs exploded in space, bursting forth with dazzling, bright light, like the birth of two constant stars!

Seeing the power of the Singularity Bombs, even Constant Star Haoxing couldn’t help but feel a chill.

If those two Singularity Bombs had really hit him, he would have been either dead or severely injured; the consequences would have been unimaginable.

However, now that he was aware of this intelligence, as long as he was cautious and on guard, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Just when Constant Star Haoxing thought he was safe, he was completely unaware that Lu Chen’s strategy was just beginning, and he had truly stepped into the trap.

Suddenly, half an astronomical unit behind Constant Star Haoxing, a seemingly calm region of space began to ripple, and soon after, a Black Entropy Ball shot towards Constant Star Haoxing like a bullet.

At the same time, detecting the anomaly, the Battle Stars of the Square Clan Civilization, eager to protect their leader, launched an attack towards that region of space, blasting away the camouflage and revealing the Earth Battle Star inside.

It turns out, the Black Entropy Ball launched by the Earth Battle Star was Lu Chen’s real trump card. Lu Chen planned to use the heat absorption and durability of the Black Entropy Ball to catch Haoxing off-guard. Since scientists had studied the Black Entropy Ball for a long time without discovering any particularly useful technology or truth, this was the perfect opportunity to see what unexpected changes would occur if a Black Entropy Ball absorbed the heat of a constant star.

But there was a difficulty in the plan.

That was how to shoot the Black Entropy Ball at Constant Star Haoxing?

Direct shooting was certainly not feasible because the distance was too far, the speed not fast enough, and it would inevitably attract the attention of the Square Clan Civilization. If the Square Clan captured the Black Entropy Ball, it would mean losing the wife and the soldiers.

Therefore, the Black Entropy Ball must be launched from a sufficiently close distance to increase the hit rate and chances of success.

However, getting close to Constant Star Haoxing was not easy. Although Earth Battle Star possessed Invisibility Technology, moving too fast would still create detectable ripples, which the Square Clan’s devices could pick up, potentially ruining the plan.

Therefore, the best method was to let Haoxing approach Earth Battle Star on his own while Earth Battle Star remained still, making it possible to avoid detection by the Square Clan’s devices.

But to make Haoxing approach Earth Battle Star on his own was fundamentally impossible, unless he took action himself.

For this reason, Lu Chen’s Gravity Black Hole and the Singularity Bombs of Green Star Battle Star and Earth Number One Battle Star were strategic feints to lure and force Haoxing closer to Earth Battle Star.

And these strategic feints were calculated with precision, fired at exact angles and coordinates, to ensure that Constant Star Haoxing moved closer to Earth Battle Star in the way they intended.

At the same time, in order to avoid revealing the position prematurely, Earth Battle Star had temporarily shut down all major equipment except for the Invisibility Technology devices, with the intention of reducing Earth’s energy fluctuations to the minimum.

As for why Lu Chen went to such great lengths to deal with Constant Star Haoxing, it’s because Haoxing was the leader of the Square Clan Civilization and its strongest combatant. As long as Constant Star Haoxing was taken out, the Square Clan Civilization would be in disarray without their leader, and the remaining thousand Planet Battle Stars would naturally dismantle themselves without an attack.
