CHAPTER 288: CHAPTER 287 KUNPENG SPACE STATION

The Earth Civilization delegation’s representative, Lu Xing, was introducing the interstellar collider to the Eternal Life Civilization and Mushroom Civilization.

Lu Xing’s spouse, through a wireless connection, accessed the global satellite above the Wandering Star System and projected the images captured of the entire Wandering Star System on the bottom of the visiting ship at a certain scale, allowing everyone viewing the interstellar collider to clearly see the entire panoramic view of the Wandering Star System at that moment.

In the panoramic view, the most central point of the Wandering Star System was the bright and dazzling Constant Star Lu Chen; surrounding it were the orderly revolving Planet Battle Stars, and on the outermost layer was the vast and rich yet chaotic Asteroid Belt, which should be called the Heliosphere now.

The Heliosphere beyond our Solar System is similar, but more extensive here.

If one observed carefully, one could also see the magnificent interstellar collider located right above Earth’s orbital track.

However, the magnificent and vast interstellar collider in the panoramic view merely appeared like a thin circle of wire, resembling a crown of stars worn atop Earth’s orbital track.

"Wow, this is just too exaggerated, you have built the Wandering Star System so beautifully!"

"That ring must be the interstellar collider we are visiting, it looks so small in the video."

"By the way, where is the visiting ship we are on? Why don’t I see it?"

Hearing this query, Mrs. Lu marked the current position of the visiting ship through text.

Then everyone realized that the moving speck of dust next to the interstellar collider was actually the visiting ship, previously it was too small for them to notice.

Thus, amidst the ongoing exclamations and astonishments from everyone, the visit to the interstellar collider reached its end. After inspecting the working warehouse of the interstellar collider, Mrs. Lu controlled the visiting ship to fly towards the second visiting site.

The second site was the largest Kunpeng Space Station within the Wandering Star System.

As the visiting ship approached the Kunpeng Space Station, everyone onboard could see a huge space fortress shining brilliantly in the sunlight.

A Mushroom Star person, utterly astonished, couldn’t help but swallow hard and said, "You call this a space station?"

"Then you really are modest, this thing should be called a space city, it’s practically indistinguishable from a city, oh my heavens, you really are construction maniacs!" an Eternal Life person echoed.

Lu Xing, with a smile on his face, said, "Kunpeng Space Station is our largest space research base that we have built. Initially, it was mainly to prevent the Black Entropy Ball from continuously absorbing geothermal energy. Later, with the continuously increasing scientific demands, we modified Kunpeng Space Station into a space research base that can accommodate up to five hundred thousand scientists. Today, the main mission of Kunpeng Space Station is to collect Dark Matter from the universe and unravel the mysteries of Dark Matter. Since Dark Matter is not evenly distributed, we needed to add mobility engines and Space Wormhole devices to Kunpeng Space Station to move around and collect within the Wandering Star System."

Listening to Lu Xing’s detailed introduction, everyone was once again amazed by the construction capabilities of the Wandering Alliance!

When the visiting ship docked at Lu Kunpeng Space Station, Lu Xing led everyone off the ship, and continued to introduce, "Kunpeng Space Station simulates about 0.8 of Earth’s gravity, mainly to accommodate the gravity habits of Earth People and Light Synthesis People. We’ve calculated this gravity level to also suit you."

These basic informations were already well known during the affiliation review phase.

Lu Xing pointed to the Kunpeng Space Station and added, "Another secret for you, the weight of Kunpeng Space Station is lighter than one of your Mushroom Civilization’s space ships, weighing only 500,000 tons."

"How could that be, given your capacity is larger than our regular space ships which weigh over 1 million tons? Logically, Kunpeng Space Station should be heavier than our space ships, how could it only weigh half?" a Mushroom Star person couldn’t believe it.

Lu Xing explained, "This is mainly thanks to the scientists who have developed a new kind of metal—Void Gold. Void Gold is composed of a small part of Metal Elements and ninety-five percent air, hence its extremely light weight. In the same volume, Void Gold is even lighter than an egg; even if placed on a dandelion, the dandelion would not be crushed. Also, due to its ultra-low density 3D structure, Void Gold is very tough, able to withstand energy weapon strikes below three thousand kilometers, making it an ideal space metal material."

"Void Gold uses a structure similar to human bones on Earth, where the surface of the bone is very hard, but the interior is a hollow honeycomb-like structure. Void Gold has further upgraded this foundation, adopting a 3D porous open honeycomb aggregate structure. The 3D pores are extremely small and dense, just one ten-thousandth the diameter of a hair. Void Gold is composed of these tiny hollow pillar pores interconnected within, with ninety-five percent of its structure being air. Thanks to this densely packed internal structure, Void Gold has a strong load-bearing capacity, even if the volume is compressed by fifty percent, it can still return to its original shape. Moreover, the 3D porous aggregate structure also has a strong energy absorption property, making it very difficult to break."

"Besides being awesome, I don’t know what else to say!"

"If it can reduce a lot of weight, it would make space exploration and power acceleration much easier!"

"..."

After Lu Xing finished his presentation, three delegations of scientists enthusiastically exchanged ideas, discussing many topics that were incomprehensible to others, and the visit to the Kunpeng Space Station ended in a high-quality and enjoyable atmosphere.

After that, Mrs. Lu controlled.RelativeLayout

(attribute configurations) Children should never inherit this layout. Visiting ship flew to the third site, located on the edge of the Heliosphere.

The third site was a star-making factory built inside the Heliosphere of the Wandering Star System, mainly used for constructing the Planet Battle Stars required for new star projects, an engineering task of massive scale. Due to the need for a large amount of material resources during actual construction, it was specially built inside the Heliosphere. Originally, the star-making factory was built in the material belt, but as the material belt merged into the Heliosphere, the star-making factory was also moved there. Space engineering is convenient here, without a foundation, it can be controlled and moved anytime and anywhere.

From a cosmic perspective, the star-making factory is an immensely huge space production and manufacturing base!

At that moment, one hundred space transporters carrying a long tunnel of fifty thousand kilometers in length flew out from a certain space manufacturing warehouse.

A Mushroom Star person asked in shock, "My goodness, what is that? You can’t even see the end at a glance!"

Lu Xing said, "This is the Particle Acceleration Tunnel needed on the Planet Battle Star, mainly used to accelerate various particles, a fundamental facility for Energy Weapons. Currently, the star-making factory is constructing the Science and Martial Battle Star designed for the second phase of the new star plan under Wandering Alliance, I’ll take you for a visit!"
