Wandering Meteor-Chapter 203 - 202: Star Realm Tunnel

Upon detecting the invasion of alien creatures, Earth Civilization and Light Synthesis Civilization immediately issued emergency orders to their respective civilizations.

They warned the citizens of Earth and Green Star to be extremely cautious during this period, as there are suspected alien creatures that have intruded into the territories of Earth and Green Star.

According to the size and structure of the small spacecraft used by the alien creatures and some residual traces of life inside, biologists from both civilizations speculated that the alien creatures might be small in size, elongated in shape, possibly about the size of Earth’s earthworms, but with higher intelligence and extremely dangerous.

Of course, this intelligence is currently just speculation and has not been definitively confirmed.

Scientists need to continue in-depth research, and any new progress will be announced globally.

However, if anyone encounters similar creatures or some novel organisms during work or daily life, please remain vigilant and notify the local police immediately.

In addition to the above intelligence, while analyzing the small spacecraft of the Alien Civilization, based on the technological level of the equipment on the spacecraft, it was speculated that this Alien Civilization is merely a second-level civilization.

Although the scientists are puzzled by this, it at least explains why this Alien Civilization only sent a fleet of Cosmic Battleships, and those fleets seemed barely combat-effective, presumably limited by the upper limit of their technological level.

In order to further analyze the intelligence of the Alien Civilization and the Star Realm Ball Guardian Alliance, scientists began to dismantle the operating system from the small spacecraft, attempting to extract the stored information for deep study.

During this period of meticulous micro-level activities.

On the macro-level, Constant Star Lu Chen, Wandering, Green Star, and others have already finished their discussions.

Since their current location has been exposed, it is not suitable to continue construction, or else there would be incessant harassments from enemy forces; thus, Lu Chen decided to leave this place and search for a suitable entry point anew.

This also meant that the previous efforts of the Wandering Alliance were wasted, and Wandering, Green Star, and Earth needed to return to the Wandering Star System.

By the time Wandering, Green Star, and Earth returned to their original orbital tracks from the battlefield, a month had passed on the micro-level.

The scientists responsible for studying the operating systems of the small spacecraft finally made a breakthrough, deciphered the Alien Civilization’s operating system, and extracted a lot of useful information.

Scientists, by extracting the positioning records during the system startup, analyzed the coordinates of the previous positions guarded by the Parasitic Civilization, and from the contact message records of the operating system, they learned the member information of the Star Realm Ball Guardian Alliance.

Only then did the Wandering Alliance realize that the leader of the Star Realm Ball Guardian Alliance was the Earth Core Civilization with whom they had previous conflicts, which explained why Earth Core Civilization had not sent its main fleet to the Ring Nebula, as they were guarding the Star Realm Ball.

After all, the geographic location of the Star Realm Ball is very special, and the role of the Guardian is extremely important, coveted by many civilizations in secrecy.

Having secured this position after a brutal struggle, Earth Core Civilization evidently understands the peril involved and would naturally not easily reveal any vulnerabilities that other civilizations could exploit.

Upon learning the identity of the Earth Core Civilization, Constant Star Lu Chen realized that this might be an unavoidable conflict.

Moreover, according to the contact records in the system, the Earth Core Civilization has already dispatched its main fleet to this location while having the Parasitic Civilization stall for time, which proved how wise Constant Star Lu Chen’s decision to strike first was; if Lu Chen had indeed communicated with the Parasitic Civilization, it would have been a trap.

Now, knowing that the grand forces of the Earth Core Civilization are on their way, the top priority for the Wandering Alliance is to leave this place.

Initially, the Wandering Alliance had planned to discuss which direction would be better for retreat, but after cracking the spacecraft’s operating system, they obtained a lot of intelligence.

Besides what has been mentioned, the Wandering Alliance also learned that after the Earth Core Civilization became the Star Realm Ball Guardian, they formed their own alliance and built a Star Realm Tunnel that connects to the outside world with a diameter of one light-year. The main force of the Earth Core Alliance is stationed near the Star Realm Tunnel.

It can also be said that this place is the main base of the Earth Core Alliance.

Based on this intelligence, an audacious idea quickly emerged in Constant Star Lu Chen’s mind.

Since the main fleet of the Earth Core Civilization is rushing to this location, it means that the defensive strength at the Star Realm Tunnel must have weakened. If they could avoid the main forces of the Earth Core Civilization and launch a surprise assault on the Star Realm Tunnel, they wouldn’t need to waste energy opening up a rift; they could directly enter the Cosmic Star Region through the Star Realm Tunnel.

It can be said that under fortuitous circumstances, the Wandering Alliance unintentionally facilitated a strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain.

Truly, man’s calculations are inferior to those of heaven. freewebnøvel.com

However, since this opportunity has presented itself, Constant Star Lu Chen naturally would not let go of this perfect chance.

He immediately had the scientific team within the Wandering Base mark the coordinates of the Star Realm Tunnel and plan out a feasible route.

While planning the route, the Wandering Alliance needed to consider one more thing.

That is the marching route of the Earth Core Civilization’s forces. However, due to the lack of intelligence in this area, the Wandering Alliance could only assume that the forces of Earth Core Civilization set out from the Star Realm Tunnel. Thus, to save time, the Earth Core Civilization would surely choose a direct route. Consequently, in plotting their course, the Wandering Alliance specifically avoided that direct route to prevent both forces from clashing.

Once everything was ready, Constant Star Lu Chen immediately used Space Acceleration, travelling at triple the speed of light along an alternate route toward the Star Realm Tunnel.

During the journey, Wandering curiously said: "Big Brother, you mentioned that the Earth Core Civilization is an ancient third-level civilization, but why is the Parasitic Civilization allied with them only a second-level civilization?"

"That situation, although rare nowadays, is not impossible," said Lu Chen. "They probably haven’t formed a life community and can’t truly trust each other, or perhaps the Parasitic Civilization is still under assessment by the Earth Core Civilization. It’s understandable that two unfamiliar civilizations need time to understand and evaluate each other."

Green Star suddenly said: "Actually, I think another explanation might be more reasonable..."

"What explanation?" asked Wandering.

Green Star said: "Do you remember the incident where the Earth Core Civilization’s Planet Battleship captured the Ant Queen? And they also planned to outsmart us. According to some intelligence obtained from the Pirate Civilization, there’s no doubt that the Earth Core Civilization is a ruthless civilization. They only trust themselves and must be very suspicious."

Green Star continued: "Therefore, I think, in order not to have any powerful civilization within the alliance that could threaten them and to ensure their power remains unthreatened, they definitely wouldn’t allow a civilization within the alliance that could match their strength. Hence, they specifically chose lower-level civilizations, probably just to use these civilizations to guard the massive Star Realm Ball, in reality, looking for free guards. Thus, the Earth Core Civilization definitely won’t help these guards advance their civilization level. Additionally, the fact that both the Parasitic Civilization and the Ant Queen possess strong reproductive capabilities also reveals some intentions of the Earth Core Civilization."

Wandering, puzzled, said: "But, by choosing some lower-level civilizations, even if there are a lot of them, their defensive combat power isn’t strong!"

Green Star said: "With the Earth Core Civilization’s main forces present, the strength of the others isn’t actually critical. The Earth Core Civilization can support them at any time. It mainly serves as a deterrent, as possessing the title of Star Realm Ball Guardian, coupled with the backing of the Earth Core Civilization, other civilizations wouldn’t dare make rash moves!"

......

The journey to the Star Realm Tunnel spans tens of thousands of light-years, and even at triple the speed of light, it would take several thousand years.

With nothing else to do along the way, Lu Chen, Wandering, and Green Star started chatting and discussing some matters.

However, just as they chatted for a moment, internal turmoil occurred within both Earth Civilization and Light Synthesis Civilization.
