Wandering Meteor-Chapter 167 - 166: Unified Force Stone?

The terror of the Earth Core Civilization was something Lu Chen only knew a bit about from the science teams of the Pirate Civilization.

However, this was not Lu Chen’s main concern, so he did not investigate thoroughly. He knew only that a war had ultimately erupted between the Pirate Civilization and the Earth Core Civilization.

The war between two Level 3 Civilizations was naturally extremely fierce and protracted. In short, after a long struggle, the Pirate Civilization was eventually defeated.

Consequently, the Pirate Civilization initiated the Planet Flying Device project. In the last moments, they put forth all of their civilization’s strength to create a gigantic Planet Flying Device, 100,000 kilometers in size, and the surviving pirates escaped aboard this device, leaving the Small Magellanic Cloud, and reluctantly abandoned their Mother Star and all their colonies.

Defeated, the Pirate Civilization set out on an unknown and solitary journey of escape with just one Planet Flying Device.

After entering the era of cosmic escape, the Pirate Civilization, reflecting on their painful defeat, drew on their experiences to amend their final constitution.

The final constitution stipulated: First, in wandering the Universe, survival is the foremost goal; second, all technological resources are to be primarily obtained through plundering; third, any civilization that poses a threat must be resolutely eliminated!

Of course, the contents of the final constitution definitely were not limited to just these points.

These three points are merely the core ideas of the final constitution; there are many more detailed provisions.

In order for everyone to understand this ideology, the Pirate Civilization even made the ideas of the final constitution the core of their education, compiling a massive number of electronic books, films, histories, etc., and from an early age began toeducate every pirate in these harsh ideologies, making them staunchly believe in and implement the core ideas of the final constitution.

The influence of the final constitution’s ideology was precisely why the Pirate Civilization began to refer to themselves as such.

To Constant Star Lu Chen, this moniker might seem rather unflattering, but for the Pirate Civilization, it was a neutral term, simply a way to adhere to their own principles.

The Pirate Civilization hoped to use this name as a constant reminder and motivation to never forget their tragic history!

In the subsequent prolonged escape, the Pirate Civilization managed to recuperate and gradually the population and technology returned to their peak.

To accommodate the surging population, the Pirate Civilization decided to upgrade and remodel the Planet Flying Device, which after hundreds of modifications, eventually reached an enormous diameter of 500,000 kilometers.

This diameter even surpassed that of the original diameter of their Mother Star.

As their civilization’s strength returned to its peak, the Pirate Civilization began to dispatch a large number of Cosmic Battleships.

These Cosmic Battleships had three tasks: one, to plunder resources; two, to investigate intelligence within Cosmic Space; three, to order a portion of the battleships to covertly return to the Small Magellanic Cloud, to spy on the situation of the Earth Core Civilization and the Small Magellanic Cloud.

The above accounts for the rough historical process of the Pirate Civilization.

After Constant Star Lu Chen came to understand this, he also realized that the Planet Flying Device was the Pirate Civilization’s main base and their principal force.

Although there were still some Cosmic Battleships of the Pirate Civilization wandering outside, with their main base destroyed, those scattered Cosmic Battleships of the Pirate Civilization were not to be feared.

If we meet, Constant Star Lu Chen wouldn’t mind taking care of them casually.

Now, Lu Chen remembers the features of the pirates clearly.

The pirates have a stature of nearly three meters; their lower halves are as thick as large millstones, with four legs; the upper half is about one meter high and equally robust, with four arms; their heads are about 1.5 times the size of an Earth person’s, also with a pair of eyes, a nose, and a mouth, but no eyebrows, with hair only in the middle like a broom and none on the sides.

"Who would have thought the Pirate Civilization had such a history, to think that even with their strength, they would suffer persecution!" Green Star said with emotion upon learning about the history of the Pirate Civilization.

Constant Star Lu Chen said: "The principle of survival of the fittest is an eternal truth that can never be changed. Even among higher civilizations, this rule won’t change; at most, it’s just a seemingly gentler method of enforcing it, but the underlying principle remains the same."

Wandering suddenly had an epiphany: "Indeed, not just between biological civilizations but even among Celestial Civilizations, and even between non-Intention celestial bodies, the consumption of smaller masses by larger ones is common in the Universe. For example, the collision and merging of Galaxy Nebula and Andromeda Nebula that we observed before are also a process of survival of the fittest."

"That’s why I always emphasize the need to increase strength. Only with sufficient power can we deal with any situation in the future with ease!" Lu Chen continued.

Wandering asked: "Big Brother, isn’t your Constant Star Mass over two thousand by now?"

Lu Chen replied: "My Constant Star Mass is not much to speak of; there are many stars in the Universe with much greater mass!"

Before Wandering could speak, Lu Chen added: "However, increasing my Constant Star Mass is quite straightforward and crude, but for biological civilizations to upgrade their Civilization Level is more difficult. Moreover, as we advance, the importance of technology grows increasingly significant, as we saw in our process of eliminating the Entropy Beast. Without the support of biological civilization technology, we wouldn’t have stood a chance."

Wandering said: "That’s true. A life community is supposed to help and progress with each other. Now that we have eliminated the Pirate Civilization, we can seize their technology and allow Earth Civilization and Light Synthesis Civilization to quickly become Level 3 Civilizations, which will be of even greater help to us."

"The technology of the Pirate Civilization is only a minor aspect; the important thing is what the Entropy Beast left behind. If we could unlock the secrets of the Grand Unified Force or the designs of the Entropy Beast, the gains would undoubtedly be even greater," Lu Chen said.

Wandering curiously asked: "Big Brother, you seem very interested in what the Entropy Beast left behind?"

"You may not have seen it, but I did. When the Gravity Black Hole captured a large number of rotating light points, I accidentally saw part of the structure at the core of the Entropy Beast, which seemed to contain a substance similar to the Gravity Stone," Lu Chen said to Wandering with no intent of concealing it.

Wandering exclaimed: "Could it be that the Gravity Stone is related to the Grand Unified Force?"

"It’s very likely related. If we had considered this earlier, perhaps we would have thought of it," Lu Chen said.

"Indeed, anything that enhances gravity must involve the Four Basic Forces. Moreover, if it’s just one of the Four Basic Forces, it’s impossible to alter the rules of force. For example, using gravity alone can’t change the rules of gravity; you must use a force that is higher-grade than gravity."

"And the higher-grade force than gravity is the Grand Unified Force, so this could be the Unified Force Stone rather than the Gravity Stone!"

Lu Chen said: "The Grand Unified Force is a force derived from combining the Four Basic Forces. While the functioning rules of the Grand Unified Force are not yet clear, it is not an invention by anyone; legend has it that it has existed since the Big Bang and is even inextricably linked to the explosion itself and the formation of the Universe."

"According to mathematical models and speculation, the disintegration of the original Grand Unified Force led to the singularity of the Big Bang. Afterwards, during the Big Bang, the Grand Unified Force broke down into secondary forces like the Electroweak Force and Strong Gravity, which further decomposed and eventually formed the Four Basic Forces we know as the constituents of everything in the Universe."

"Big Brother, why would the stable Grand Unified Force collapse?" Wandering asked curiously.
