Wandering Meteor-Chapter 153 - 152 Risk Rating

Despite the slim hopes for the third and fourth plans,

the resolution from the Eight-Party Talks decided to divide all scientists into four groups, each responsible for the research and details of one plan.

Since scientists also have their own specialties, forcibly moving some scientists to unfamiliar fields would undeniably be inefficient, so they ultimately decided to group scientists based on their areas of expertise.

The final four groups were: Constant Star Neutrinos, Artificial Black Holes, Space Shock Waves, and Space Particle Weapons.

Meanwhile, during the concurrent Eight-Party Talks, Lu Chen of Constant Star and the Pirate Civilization used Gravitational Wave Attacks and Space Shocks to contain the speed of the Entropy Beast, according to the predetermined plan.

Originally, they intended to use this method to widen the distance between them, in order to buy more time for the Eight-Party Talks.

However, they never expected that the Entropy Beast seemed capable of evolution. After previous battles, the Entropy Beast’s system had collected weapon data from the entropy reduction targets and analyzed it. Therefore, when facing the same type of attack again, the Entropy Beast’s response was completely different.

At that moment, the immensely huge Entropy Beast raised its massive tail. Then, the tip of its tail emitted a strong gravity, a combined force of the Strong Nuclear Force and Gravity (similar to the Electroweak Force, which combines the Weak Nuclear Force and electromagnetic force), which instantly enhanced the originally weakest force - gravity - to a very high intensity, directly piercing the space in front of the Entropy Beast and forming a huge space tunnel.

This was the so-called wormhole.

When the Entropy Beast entered the wormhole, it suddenly disappeared from the sight and sensors of all civilizations, and the massive space tunnel slowly closed.

"Be careful, everyone, the situation has changed, the Entropy Beast can use wormhole technology and might arrive at any time!"

As a third-level civilization, the Pirate Civilization instantly recognized what had just happened and immediately informed all civilizations within the entropy reduction alliance.

Although the Pirate Civilization is a third-level civilization and has mastered Space Energy and Space Technology, there are still variations within the same level, depending on the extent of a civilization’s research into space, resulting in different levels of technological prowess. Wormhole technology represents the peak level of a third-level civilization’s mastery of Space Technology, which the current Pirate Civilization is far from achieving, now only capable of utilizing Space Acceleration (a type of Curvature Engine).

When the warning from the Pirate Civilization was received, all civilizations instantly felt like they were on high alert.

The entropy reduction alliance also used all detection devices to monitor the surrounding space fluctuations, trying to detect the movements of the Entropy Beast.

Unfortunately, since none of the civilizations within the entropy reduction alliance had ever seen wormhole technology, nor had any related experience, when the Entropy Beast suddenly emerged from a wormhole and swallowed one of the civilizations, the alliance’s detection devices only managed to issue a delayed alert.

But by then, it was already too late.

The Entropy Beast suddenly emerged from a wormhole and directly descended above a civilization, swallowing it while its massive tail whipped out from the wormhole and brutally struck a nearby other civilization.

This civilization was a life community, composed of a biological civilization and a Planet-level Celestial Civilization. However, under the massive lash of the Entropy Beast’s tail, the entire planet was split in two, flying into Cosmic Space, and the Celestial Civilization along with its biological civilization perished together.

"This is bad, the situation is far worse than we imagined, the Entropy Beast seems to really be capable of evolving!"

While the Entropy Beast was dealing with the two civilizations, the remaining civilizations took the first opportunity to flee far away, and at the same time, Constant Star Lu Chen and the Pirate Civilization again used Gravitational Waves and Space Shocks to restrain the Entropy Beast. However, although the distance between them was stretched again, they couldn’t feel happy at all.

After all, they also knew that the Entropy Beast was capable of using wormhole technology.

Moreover, what surprised Constant Star Lu Chen the most was that the Entropy Beast had the ability to evolve, its system would make the optimal decision based on different situations.

Take the Entropy Beast’s attitude towards them in two different instances; the first time, the Entropy Beast would only devour entropy reduction targets and would not actively destroy.

However, upon detecting that all the entropy reduction targets had formed an alliance, the decision of the Entropy Beast also changed. The Entropy Beast did not underestimate these lower civilizations and directly exerted its full strength (using the wormhole technology) and used methods of both devouring and destroying, simply to eliminate the entropy reduction targets as quickly as possible to avoid prolonged troubles.

In fact, Lu Chen was right, the Entropy Beast had a risk rating.

When the risk is not high, the Entropy Beast would judge that devouring is beneficial for its growth, but if the risk increases, the Entropy Beast would prioritize the destruction of the entropy reduction targets.

It can be said that it was the alliance for entropy reduction, as well as the emergence of Gravitational Waves, Space Shock Waves, and neutrino beams that changed the risk rating of the Entropy Beast. The alliance for entropy reduction, seeming like a method of self-rescue, in fact plunged themselves into an even more dangerous situation, something all civilizations didn’t foresee.

However, at this point, it was too late to say this, as the alliance for entropy reduction could not be disbanded on the spot.

Even if disbanded on the spot, it may not change the risk rating of the Entropy Beast, so the remaining six civilizations of the alliance for entropy reduction could only tread the path to the end.

Fortunately, at this time, they also received some good news.

That is, the four groups divided from the Eight-Party Talks within the Wandering Base had made some progress in research.

However, not all plans were progressing, only the first and second plans were moving forward, and Lu Chen only learned of the specific situation after they were briefed.

The first plan is the Constant Star Neutrino project. The responsible scientific team calculated that if several hundred superpower satellites were launched around Constant Star Lu Chen to construct a super large astromagnetic field, Constant Star Lu Chen could control neutrinos to create weapons with the help of this super magnetic field.

The second plan involved an Artificial Black Hole. Based on data provided by the Earth’s scientific team, the Gravity Strength of Constant Star Lu Chen can be increased to ninety thousand. If it reaches over a hundred thousand, coupled with the enhancement limit of Gravity Stones, then a Gravitational Wave with a Gravity Strength of over three hundred thousand, which is a Black Hole Level, can be used—even capable of capturing light—and should pose a significant threat to the Entropy Beast.

As for the exposure of the Gravity Stones, Lu Chen himself did not wish for it, but the Pirate Civilization deduced it and widely publicized it. Furthermore, as the main focus currently was on killing the Entropy Beast, Lu Chen had no other choice but to acknowledge the existence of the Gravity Stones, though cautiously, he didn’t bring out the Gravity Stones but only provided some data.

Now, all conditions are permissible; only a certain implementation time is needed.

The first plan required launching superpower satellites, fortunately, the alliance for entropy reduction had already found similar magnetic field equipment from various civilizations for transformation into a super magnetic field, loaded onto satellites, significantly reducing the time needed for the plan;

While the second plan had no shortcuts, only allowing for an increase in Constant Star Lu Chen’s Constant Star Mass to raise the upper limit of Constant Star Gravity. Fortunately, at this time, they observed some good news—on their escape route, there happened to be a star, so the entire alliance for entropy reduction directly flew toward that star.

However, just as the alliance for entropy reduction was flying towards that star with hope.

The Entropy Beast behind them used wormhole technology again and directly appeared below the Wandering Star System, its gaping maw swallowing at the entire Wandering Star System, a terrifying scene!
