Wandering Meteor-Chapter 102: Berthing into Orbit

Wandering Year One.

Constant Star Lu Chen, Wandering, Earth Civilization officially formed the longest-thriving life community in the universe.

Green Star did not join them, not because Lu Chen disagreed, but because Green Star itself was unwilling, so Lu Chen did not force Green Star.

After all, it was thanks to the information from Green Star that they were able to find Earth so smoothly. Perhaps Green Star has other ideas in mind, so they respect Green Star’s choice.

However, although Green Star has not formed a life community with Lu Chen and the others, at the proposal of Wandering, it decided to take advantage of Lu Chen’s favorable winds for the time being, and first escape from the Galaxy Nebula.

Of course, it is too early to talk about escaping the Galaxy Nebula.

Because the life community has just been formed, there are still many preparations to be completed.

There are, of course, many tasks in terms of details, such as stockpiling food and collecting spoils of war, etc.

But these are not important. The most important task at the moment is to dock Earth into the Constant Star Lu Chen’s orbital path, forming a single Constant Star System.

Considering that Earth has Earth Civilization, after consultation between Lu Chen and Wandering, it was decided that Earth would take over Wandering’s original first orbital path, while Wandering would move to the Third Orbital Path. Green Star, having tree life on its planet, would be located in the Second Orbital Path.

Wandering had no complaints about this decision; he would listen to anything Lu Chen said.

Moreover, he understood that life on Earth and on Green Star needs light and heat, and as a Metal Planet, it was impossible for biological life to be born. Furthermore, with his ability to change and split, he could serve as the first line of defense for the life community, so being in the outermost orbit was, of course, the best approach.

As for the distance of the orbital paths, Lu Chen had long established standards.

The first path is 1 astronomical unit, the second path is 1.5 astronomical units, and the third path is 2 astronomical units.

That is to say, the Constant Star System built by Constant Star Lu Chen has theoretically initially taken shape, temporarily spanning a diameter of 2 astronomical units.

Lu Chen did not, like other Constant Stars, use his own gravity to bind a Heliosphere around the outer layer, because he did not feel it necessary for the time being.

After all, during the process of escaping the Galaxy Nebula, carrying more matter would result in slower speed.

Once Earth’s orbital path was determined, the scientific team of Earth Civilization began to calculate the length of Earth’s orbit, as they needed to ensure that one revolution equaled 365 days, or one year. But this information was needed to calculate the speed of Earth’s orbit.

In addition to this, Earth Civilization also planned to restart Earth’s rotation system.

When all the data was calculated, three months had passed, and Earth Civilization immediately began to discuss the details of docking into the orbital path with Lu Chen.

After discussion, it was decided that Lu Chen would first use Constant Star Gravity to lock onto Earth, while Earth Civilization would increase thrust with the Planet Engine to break free from the gravitational constraint of the Central Constant Star of the Sea Spirit Star System, because Earth had previously started revolving around the central star of the Sea Spirit Star System under the intervention of Sea Spirit Civilization.

After that, under the gravitational influence of Constant Star Lu Chen, Earth would begin to orbit around Lu Chen.

But at this time, Earth’s orbit was not within the first path, so Earth Civilization would still need to use the Planet Engine to fly Earth into the orbit through the third and second paths. During this process, they also had to calculate the orbital speeds of Green Star and Wandering to avoid a collision while Earth was passing through the orbital paths.

The plan seemed straightforward, but it took three years to complete.

Of course, this period of time is lengthy for Earth Civilization, but for Constant Star Lu Chen, it was merely a moment.

Over these three years, Earth achieved orbit around Constant Star Lu Chen, with the orbital velocity precisely adjusted by the Planet Engine to an exact value, making one orbit exactly 365 days.

Moreover, Earth Civilization also managed to restore Earth’s rotation through engines located at the equator.

It could be said that, at this point, there was no significant difference between Earth in its present location and its position within the Solar System, except for the replacement of the central Constant Star.

In these three years, aside from controlling gravity to assist Earth’s orbit, Constant Star Lu Chen had nothing else to do, so he thought instead of being idle, he might as well use Gravity Stones to plunder the Hydrogen Element from Wu Yizi Constant Star at the center of the Sea Spirit Star System.

The mass of this Constant Star within the Sea Spirit Star System was more than nine hundred times; since Lu Chen had only 145 Constant Star Masses, he could not directly plunder it barbarically, but had to rely on the assistance of Gravity Stones. With the current range and strength of Lu Chen’s gravity, coupled with the enhanced limit from Gravity Stones, he should be able to plunder the Hydrogen on the surface of the Sea Spirit Star while remaining stationary.

Therefore, while Lu Chen controlled gravity to help Earth dock into its orbital path, he also used Gravity Stones to forcefully plunder the Hydrogen Element of Sea Spirit Constant Star, making progress on both fronts without delay.

Eventually, when Earth successfully docked into its orbital path, Constant Star Lu Chen’s mass had grown to 505 Constant Star Masses, roughly plundering about one-third of Sea Spirit’s Hydrogen gas mass.

This also proved how terrifying a Constant Star’s mass could be, taking three years to plunder only a third.

Under these circumstances, every person on Earth could now directly witness a miraculous scene with the naked eye.

That was the appearance of a colossal Hydrogen passage between Constant Star Lu Chen and Sea Spirit Constant Star, with an orange-red hue, resembling an interstellar tunnel between the two stars, utterly enchanting and dreamlike!

Such a rare and remarkable spectacle, only seen once in thousands of years, naturally had an extraordinary impact.

Countless photography enthusiasts within the Earth Civilization managed to capture incredibly dazzling and impressive photos directly using mobile phones, as if everyone became masters of photographic art!

Apart from the visible changes, Earth Civilization could also distinctly feel that as Constant Star Lu Chen’s mass increased, to counteract the greater gravitational collapse, the Nuclear Fusion Rate in the core area gradually increased as well, resulting in the light emitted by Constant Star Lu Chen becoming more intense. Along with the light from Sea Spirit Constant Star, the average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere rose temporarily from an initial 18 degrees to 38 degrees.

This environment made Earth seem to instantly enter a severe summer, where survival without air conditioning was practically impossible.

It’s necessary to explain that, while Lu Chen was plundering the Hydrogen Element from Sea Spirit Constant Star, in order not to delay Earth’s progress into its orbital path, he flipped the Constant Star over, turning the previously horizontal orbital path vertical. This way, as Lu Chen pillaged Hydrogen from the Sea Spirit Constant Star using the polar position, it did not affect the orbital paths of Wandering, Earth, and Green Star.

Now, Lu Chen’s Constant Star mass was 505 units.

His diameter increased to three million kilometers, with a core temperature in the Nuclear Fusion Zone of sixteen million degrees, and the temperature of the surface corona layer at one million seven hundred thousand degrees.

With the growth of Constant Star mass, Lu Chen’s gravitational range also increased to about 5 light-years!

Due to time constraints, Lu Chen did not choose to completely plunder the remaining mass of the Sea Spirit Constant Star. Now they must race against time to flee the Galaxy Nebula.

Lu Chen restored his Constant Star body to a horizontal position, then controlled his own powerful gravity interacting with that of a celestial body ahead, propelling himself forward and taking Earth, Wandering, and Green Star quickly away from the Sea Spirit Star System, re-entering the vast and cold cosmic space.

Once again embarking on a journey of wandering.

Only this time, they were not fighting alone.
