CHAPTER 422: CHAPTER 421: THE SEVEN MILLION MARK

When Green Star and other planets returned to the Wandering Star System.

Constant Star Lu Chen had only just begun to absorb the extremely bright Constant Star.

This shows that Green Star and their team acted too swiftly, resolving the Ye Star Alliance in a very short amount of time. Of course, this was also due to the gap in technological levels between the two sides.

After all, the gap between each level of civilization is like a chasm.

Lu Chen was not surprised by this outcome; he had anticipated such speed before the pursuit troops were dispatched. His only concern was whether an Advanced Civilization would really appear?

Thus, he kept his Black Hole Avatar vigilant, ready to support the Wandering Alliance at a moment’s notice. Fortunately, until the capture of the Constant Star Ye Star and their return to the Wandering Star System, no Advanced Civilization appeared, leading to debates within the Wandering Alliance about whether this was just an experiment.

However, such disagreements were not significant since the Ye Star Alliance had already been annihilated; they were merely rumors among the populace.

Lu Chen did not dwell on such trivial matters. At this moment, he was absorbing the extremely bright Constant Star, and upon seeing the Light Synthesis Civilization return with the Intention-less Constant Star Ye Star, he directed them to deploy the Constant Star Ye Star. He planned to absorb both the Constant Star and the extremely bright star together.

It was not unprecedented to absorb two stars together; it could save a lot of time.

Once the Light Synthesis Civilization completed the deployment, three large Constant Stars appeared simultaneously at the center of the vast Wandering Star System. Each of these stars had a mass exceeding one million Constant Star Masses, with Lu Chen alone having as much as 3.6 million Constant Star Masses.

These three massive stars seemed to form a massive triple star system. The two smaller stars were orbiting Lu Chen at high speed. With each orbit, a large amount of high-temperature Hydrogen was stripped onto Lu Chen, creating an image from a universal perspective akin to two twisted orange dragons connecting the three stars.

Over time, as Lu Chen rapidly plundered their masses, the Hydrogen content of the two stars decreased. Their Nuclear Fusion Rate also declined, and their Nuclear Fusion Zones rapidly shrunk, accompanied by a sharp decline in their luminosity. Initially, each of these stars was about one-third the size of Lu Chen with very high brightness. People on Earth could clearly see the orbits of the three stars anytime with the naked eye. However, as the mass of the two stars dramatically decreased, their luminosity and size also reduced, turning them into what seemed like two dim companion stars alongside the increasingly bright Lu Chen, sometimes visible and sometimes not.

When the mass of these two stars reduced to a point where they could no longer support nuclear fusion reactions, Lu Chen used Gravity to fiercely absorb the last bit of their mass into his Constant Star Body, completing the plundering and absorption process.

Now, Lu Chen’s mass had officially exceeded seven million, growing to 7.05 million Constant Star Masses!

Initially, when at 3.6 million Constant Star Masses, Lu Chen had a diameter of 150 million kilometers, equivalent to one astronomical unit. Now, having grown to 7.05 million Constant Star Masses, his diameter also expanded to 1.6 astronomical units.

Looking at this behemoth Constant Star spanning 1.6 astronomical units, one would hardly believe that this star had evolved from a tiny asteroid-sized rock to such an extraordinary extent!

At this moment, Lu Chen’s luminosity had approximately doubled from before, indicating that the core’s nuclear fusion reaction zone had also expanded by about the same amount. As the Nuclear Fusion Rate increased, Lu Chen’s core temperature also rose from the initial 30 billion degrees to the current 35 billion degrees. The temperature of the corona layer saw no significant change, maintaining around 120 million degrees.

Additionally, Lu Chen’s Hydrogen ratio had also slightly increased to around 95%.

As for the crucial Gravity, under no technological enhancement, Lu Chen could now substantially increase it to 35 million, improving by two-fifths from before.

However, ever since acquiring the Black Hole Avatar, the importance of Gravity to Lu Chen had significantly diminished, so the specific increase strength was not that crucial anymore.

Just after Lu Chen completed the absorption, a significant joyous event occurred within the Wandering Alliance.

That was the successful completion of the fifth phase of the New Star Program that the Wandering Alliance had initiated earlier. Both the twenty Neutron Battle Stars and the one hundred Information Battle Stars were fully manufactured. Furthermore, the internal systems of the Neutron Battle Stars had also been completed, still utilizing the highly proficient Life Conversion Technology of the Wandering Alliance.

Simultaneously, the interstellar immigration plan officially commenced, with a large number of people relocating to these newly-built Information Battle Stars through Space Wormholes, easing the population pressure on other Battle Stars. As the proficiency in Space Wormhole Technology improved, the Wandering Alliance began incorporating it in daily life.

After all the immigrants had completely relocated, the Wandering Alliance held a grand celebration party inside.

Countless spacecraft, flying saucers, and space stations all joined in this revelry, presenting a universe-scale luxurious light show for all the people across the planets.

To conserve resources and protect the environment, traditional fireworks were no longer used. During significant festivals, only super light shows were used. Not only did they save energy and protect the environment, but they were also highly adaptable and more suitable for the universe setting, far superior to fireworks. As for fireworks, the people of the Wandering Alliance often encountered them in wars and were already accustomed to them.

Despite the festive and celebratory atmosphere within the Wandering Alliance, the exterior of the star system remained dark and cold.

Since the Wandering Star System officially resumed its voyage, the billions of satellites around it reactivated at the same time, rendering the massive Wandering Star System invisible from the outside again.

After the celebrations, Dark Gold Lu Xing suddenly asked a question to Demon Star: "Recently, I remembered something. Now that you even have a Black Hole Avatar, why maintain the Constant Star form? It might be easier to convert completely into a Black Hole. With the technological level of biological civilizations today, they can already live independently from the Constant Star, without needing you to provide light and heat."

"I am curious about this as well!" Green Star added.
