Chapter 156: Chapter 155: The Horn of Counterattack [Extra Release for Subscriptions]
When the Pirate Civilization saw that Lu Chen from the Constant Star had mastered Space Acceleration technology in such a short period of time, they were extremely shocked!
Despite having the support of scientific teams from eight different civilizations providing analysis and calculations, identifying many issues, and avoiding many detours, mastering it so quickly still seemed too exaggerated, didn’t it?
However, this also illustrates a point.
The leader of the Wandering Star System, Lu Chen from Constant Star, is an existence that cannot be underestimated.
The Pirate Civilization couldn’t help but elevate their regard and wariness towards Lu Chen from Constant Star by another level.
Actually, thinking carefully about Lu Chen’s situation, all this wasn’t exaggerated. After all, he had a lot of experience with using Gravity Waves, and had always paid attention to spatial distortion and space technology, having accumulated a solid scientific foundation. Now, as soon as there was a breakthrough in the technology principle, it was not strange that he could master it quickly.
However, the Space Acceleration used by Lu Chen was different from that of the Pirate Civilization.
The Pirate Civilization used the principle of Space Tension technology for acceleration, which slightly stretches the space where the Planet Flying Device is located. Without damaging objects in space, they utilize the space’s tension to move the entire Planet Flying Device.
In this situation, what really moves is not the Planet Flying Device itself, but rather the piece of space where the Planet Flying Device is located.
And because of this, the Planet Flying Device can break through the limits of propulsion acceleration to achieve light-speed flight.
Lu Chen didn’t use Space Tension, after all, the volume of the Wandering Star System was too large. Using this technology would involve a very large scale of space, and would be very difficult. Therefore, Lu Chen used Space Curvature Acceleration.
This method required distorting the space three times ahead of the Wandering Star System’s mass points (typically the Central Constant Star) with Gravity Waves, causing a tilt in the space ahead, allowing the tilt generated by the space to pull the entire Wandering Star System forward.
The slip ratio refers to the angle of space tilt relative to the sliding speed of mass matter.
After mastering the method of Space Acceleration, Lu Chen also gained a comprehensive understanding of Space Acceleration and the Curvature Engine, and even understood the principles at that time observed by the Gravity Waves from a Black Hole that propelled Constant Star acceleration - it was because the space waves behind gently pushed the Constant Star forward.
However, this method is extremely dangerous.
If the space waves are too large, it can easily result in something similar to a Space Shock, so generally no civilization would use this dangerous method.
Of course, this also shows that there are actually many methods of Space Acceleration, perhaps not fewer than methods of power acceleration. As long as science and technology reach a certain standard, any method can be freely used, but their principles essentially remain the same, all using variations of space or curvature, which is a test of creativity for each civilization.
......
Right now.
All four civilizations remaining in the Entropy Coalition temporarily entered the Wandering Star System, and under Lu Chen’s acceleration, the Wandering Star System escaped at light speed.
Behind, the Entropy Beast, after digesting that civilization, chased after the Wandering Star System again.
However, the redness in the eyes of the Entropy Beast had turned even more crimson, due to the remaining civilizations merging into the Wandering Star System continuously increasing the entropy reduction value, thus making the system of the Entropy Beast deem it more dangerous and a must-eliminate target.
Consequently, the Entropy Beast once again swung its giant tail, using the strong gravity on its tail to tear space apart and travel through a wormhole.
Every time the Entropy Beast traveled through a wormhole and disappeared from sight, the entire civilizations within the Entropy Coalition panicked immensely, fearing they would be the next target to be devoured.
However, relief is on the horizon as the Entropy Reduction Alliance has merged with the Wandering Star System. Additionally, when the Entropy Beast previously used wormholes for travel, the scientifically astute Pirate Civilization noticed some peculiar phenomena. After calculations and validations, they confirmed that these were indeed traces of wormholes.
This time, when the Entropy Beast used the wormhole again, it was indeed predicted in advance by the Pirate Civilization.
To prevent a surprise attack from the Entropy Beast, the Pirate Civilization immediately used Space Shocks to disturb the stability of the wormhole nodes, forcing the Entropy Beast to expend more energy to open the wormholes, thereby slowing its pace.
At the same time, they accelerated or fine-tuned the escape direction of Lu Chen from the Constant Star, thereby avoiding the threat of the Entropy Beast.
Thus, the Entropy Reduction Alliance exerted all their strength in flight, while the Entropy Beast relentlessly pursued them in a prolonged chase.
However, due to the advanced technological and systemic capabilities of the Entropy Beast, it was continually able to adjust its strategies in real-time, improving its response abilities and tactics, and gradually catching up to the Wandering Star System.
Upon catching up, the Entropy Beast opened its immense maw, aiming to devour the Metal Planet Wandering on the outskirts of the Wandering Star System.
This time, the Entropy Beast updated its strategy; it no longer attempted to swallow the entire Wandering Star System in one gulp, realizing the task was too challenging. Besides the act of devouring, the tail of the Entropy Beast, powered by Space Technology, swung at the speed of light towards the Wandering Star System, a truly fearsome sight!
Fortunately, during this time, the Entropy Reduction Alliance had made some gains.
Firstly, their planned Constant Star Neutrino project was completed, and one hundred twenty Superpower Satellites surrounding Lu Chen formed a massive celestial magnetic field.
This celestial magnetic field, densely packed with charged particles, was designed to prevent the penetration probability of neutrinos. By controlling the distribution of these magnetic fields in the shape of an accelerator, and with Lu Chen continuously supplying a neutrino spray, they turned the large number of neutrinos emitted by the star into a weapon.
Scientists named it the "Neutrino Superbeam".
This beam had an energy level so immense that it was far stronger than anything the Pirate Civilization had used before, so it was called the Neutrino Superbeam.
Secondly, a Constant Star previously observed by the scientists had also been captured by the Wandering Star System. This was a regular Constant Star of Wu Yizi, with a mass of 1100 Constant Star Masses, and its hydrogen composition was ninety-five percent, indicating it was a nascent star, not older than one billion years.
To counter the threat of the Entropy Beast, Lu Chen had to work on both fronts.
On one side, they accelerated the rate of nuclear fusion to produce more neutrinos, forming a Neutrino Superbeam aimed at the head of the Entropy Beast; on the other, they pulled the nascent star, with 1100 Constant Star Masses, into the Roche limit and began rapidly tearing apart and absorbing the nascent star.
Boom!
A resplendent blue Neutrino Superbeam shot out at the speed of light, its majesty immense, instantly piercing through the entire Metal Planet Wandering, and slamming into the Entropy Beast on the other side.
The giant head of the Entropy Beast was penetrated by the Neutrino Superbeam, causing an explosion at its core, emitting an enormous energy equivalent to 0.1 of a Supernova Explosion, instantly scattering the head of the Entropy Beast.
However, just as the Entropy Reduction Alliance used the Neutrino Superbeam to scatter the head of the Entropy Beast, its giant tail struck at light speed and shattered one of the civilizations within the Wandering Star System, reducing the members of the Entropy Reduction Alliance to four civilizations.
Of course, the surviving civilizations were more happy than sad, perhaps not sad at all.
After all, they were only allies, not kin, understanding that sacrifices were inevitable. Most importantly, they saw hope in defeating the Entropy Beast.
Previously, no matter what methods they used, they could not harm the Entropy Beast in the slightest; now, after so much effort, they finally managed to scatter the head of the Entropy Beast using the Neutrino Superbeam.
This seemed to be a symbol, fully sounding the clarion call for a counterattack.
This made every civilization, especially the scientific teams from the All Direction Talks, see their research come to fruition, becoming tremendously excited and impassioned!
