Wandering Meteor-Chapter 236 - 235: New Star Earth

Entering the Star Zone.

The Wandering Alliance discovered a field of relics near the Star Realm Tunnel.

These were materials and debris left behind or discarded when the Earth Core Mother Star moved away.

Based on this information and the fact that the Parasitic Civilization had ambushed them, the Wandering Alliance deduced that the Earth Core Civilization certainly still had residual forces.

However, the Wandering Alliance did not know where the remnants of the Earth Core Civilization had gone, making it difficult to pursue them. For now, they could only proceed with their original plans, taking one step at a time.

Next, the Wandering Alliance used their detection equipment to scan the surrounding space within ten light-years. After detecting no abnormalities, they continued on their pre-planned route towards the Cosmic Center.

With the formal entry into the Star Zone, it marked the complete conclusion of the Star Realm Ball campaign.

Constant Star Lu Chen, while leading the Wandering Star System on its journey, took the opportunity to pay attention to several of the Wandering Alliance’s project developments.

Especially the New Star Project, a critical project related to societal stability and military strength growth within the Wandering Alliance, was of great concern to Lu Chen.

Previously, Wandering had suggested that planets could be directly manufactured using the elemental matter within the Wandering Star System and then transformed into Battle Stars.

This proposal was indeed better than simply searching for pre-existing planets in the Universe.

Not only could the mass of the planet be controlled, but it was also possible to incorporate one’s own designs during the creation process.

Therefore, Constant Star Lu Chen highly approved of this proposal and instructed the scientific team within the Wandering Base to conduct relevant research and design.

After many years of research, the technical difficulties of creating planets had been overcome. The scientists first created a constant Gravity Field, which was then thrown into the elemental belt.

As the Gravity Field was activated, it began to attract surrounding matter.

As a substantial amount of matter gradually formed into a sphere under the constraints of the Gravity Field, reaching a mass of two Planet Masses, the equipment related to the Gravity Field would break down. Fortunately, by that point, the newly formed Planet Gravity took over, continuing to attract surrounding matter until the manufactured planet grew to ten Planet Masses. Only then did the Earth Civilization and the Light Synthesis Civilization use isolation equipment to extract the manufactured planet for the next step of Battle Star transformation.

Here it should be noted that, due to technical and resource factors.

The Wandering Alliance did not blindly execute the New Star Project but subdivided it into more detailed phased stages based on actual conditions.

The first phase goal of the New Star Project was:

To create ten Planet Battle Stars modeled after Earth, each with a Planet Mass of ten, and to transform the surface weapon systems based on the current model of Earth Battle Stars.

As a result, the Wandering Alliance named the first ten Planet Battle Stars constructed in the first phase of the New Star Project as Earth, with numbers ranging from Earth One to Earth Ten.

If the first phase of the plan is successful, the ten Battle Stars are expected to accommodate a population of 60 billion, immensely alleviating the population congestion on Green Star and Earth, while also providing over 300 million promotion opportunities and increasing the military strength of the Wandering Alliance. This is truly killing several birds with one stone.

This is also one of the reasons why the Wandering Alliance’s first-phase plan only produced ten Planet Battle Stars.

Even though they technically and resourcefully could make more, the population of the Wandering Alliance might not keep up.

Ever since the implementation of a Communist Society, societal management and planning for population growth had been in effect, whether it was Earth People, Light Synthesis People, or robots. If the population were increased rashly due to the New Star Project, it would be forcing the issue, leading to a portion of the population who might not become the elites as planned, ultimately affecting the overall unity and military strength of the Battle Star. Therefore, Constant Star Lu Chen believes that everything should be done in moderation and progressed gradually.

Moreover, the creation of Planet Battle Stars is not as simple as imagined.

First, just to use the Gravity Field to condense a planet until it grows to a mass of ten Planet Masses requires at least three hundred years, which is already under the intervention of the Earth Civilization and the Light Synthesis Civilization to accelerate planetary evolution. If left to evolve naturally, it would take at least ten thousand years.

Next, a newborn planet that has grown to a mass of ten Planet Masses still needs to undergo environmental shaping, including the atmosphere, geological structure, ecological cycle, urban facilities, and more, each of which is a project of the century. If it were in the previous Earth Civilization, any one of these tasks would have been considered a pipe dream.

Even now, with the support of Tier 3 civilization technology, it still requires about three hundred years.

Only after the first two preparation stages are completed, will interstellar migration begin, along with the Battle Star transformation. The interstellar migration combined with Battle Star transformation will require at least another two hundred years.

Altogether, the creation of a Planet Battle Star takes at least eight hundred years.

This is much longer than the time Sun Wukong was trapped under the Five Fingers Mountain. If The Buddha took five hundred years to successfully transform a Sun Wukong, then the time it takes to create a Planet Battle Star is roughly equivalent to 1.6 Sun Wukongs.

Fortunately, the first phase of the New Star Project had started quite some time ago. When the Wandering Alliance entered the Star Zone, those ten planets had already taken shape within the elemental belt and were extracted by the Earth Civilization and Light Synthesis Civilization, then controlled by Constant Star Lu Chen’s gravity to be arranged in orbit on the outer layer.

Later, after hundreds of years, Earth One to Ten finally completed the Battle Star transformations. On the outside, they hardly looked any different from Earth.

However, with the increased number of planets in the Wandering Star System to 13, the number of orbital tracks reached twelve, and the radius of the star system extended to 10.5 astronomical units.

The order of the orbital tracks was Earth—Green Star—Wandering—Earth One...

As for the distance of each planet’s orbital track (measured from Constant Star Lu Chen), Earth is at 3 astronomical units, Green Star at 3.5 astronomical units, Wandering at 5 astronomical units, Earth One at 6 astronomical units, and so on, with Earth Ten at 10.5 astronomical units.

From a cosmic perspective, the evenly regulated orbital speed and the nearly equal spacing of orbital tracks of the Wandering Star System look very much like a precisely operating Star Disk.

However, the distances of these orbital tracks are not fixed; they change correspondingly with the increase in mass and size of Constant Star Lu Chen.

Besides the factor of population, Lu Chen’s Gravity Strength is also one of the factors constraining the New Star Project.

If hundreds of Planet Battle Stars were manufactured all at once, with Lu Chen’s current Constant Star Mass, it would hardly be able to ensure a firm constraint over the outermost orbiting planets, which could lead to the disintegration of the Wandering Star System. The surplus Battle Stars could not form a star system and would have to traverse the Universe collectively in a loose formation.

In that case, there would be no need.

"Report, a Supernova about to erupt has been detected ahead!"

After hundreds of years of travel in the Star Zone, the scientific team within the Wandering Base suddenly detected the situation.
