CHAPTER 388: CHAPTER 387: HYDROGEN GOLD BOMB

Boom!

The dark and cold starry sky was filled with firelight.

Accompanied by the burst of fire and light, the great war between the Wandering Alliance and the Dense Civilization officially began.

The command of the war on the side of the Dense Civilization was handled by Neutron Star Gao Mi, who did not allow the Dense Battle Stars to fight individually. Instead, he ordered twenty Dense Battle Stars to form a square array and then launched the first wave of long-distance attacks on the Wandering Alliance. Although every person and every planet in the Dense Civilization has a very high density, they also recognize the importance of collective strength, and they do not have the heroism culture of the Electromagnetic Civilization.

Twenty Dense Battle Stars simultaneously activated their weapon systems and each fired a fist-sized golden pellet.

The Wandering Alliance initially thought that the Dense Civilization was using some sort of solid metallic weapons, and were somewhat surprised while they activated the Four Base Space Wall on the outskirts of the star system.

According to the calculations of the Wandering Alliance, the Four Base Space Wall could withstand energy weapons of a certain energy level; not to mention the outdated thermal weapons, which probably couldn’t even scratch the surface of the Four Base Space Wall.

However, the development that followed was contrary to what the Wandering Alliance expected. Under the attack of the golden pellets from the Dense Civilization, their Four Base Space Wall shattered upon impact, just like a high-speed steel ball striking a piece of glass, instantly shattered!

Moreover, what shocked the Wandering Alliance even more was that, after breaking through the Four Base Space Wall, the twenty golden pellets fiercely hit the Solar Sphere Material on the outskirts of the Wandering Star System, causing violent explosions at twenty locations. The disturbances spread over several astronomical units, and as the explosions continuously expanded, the twenty explosive clusters slowly merged together to form a super-explosion area spanning over ten astronomical units, which was terrifyingly formidable!

Constant Star Lu Chen, seeing this, immediately accelerated the rotation speed of the Heliosphere, causing a large amount of meteor material to traverse the super-explosion area, dispersing the lingering smoke over more than ten astronomical units.

After the explosive disturbances were settled, Constant Star Lu Chen also breathed a sigh of relief, thankful for the presence of the Heliosphere around the periphery of the Wandering Star System, which could withstand attacks; otherwise, if it hit the Planet Battle Star, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

At the same time, Constant Star Lu Chen was very curious about what weapon the Dense Civilization had used?

Just then, Constant Star Lu Chen received a message from the scientists inside the Wandering Base. It turned out that the scientists, using detection equipment, detected a large release of Hydrogen Element in the explosion area, and considering the appearance and color of the golden pellets earlier, they speculated that the weapon might not be the metallic solid weapon seen on the surface, but a special weapon similar to Metallic Hydrogen.

In fact, the scientists’ speculation was not wrong.

The weapon used by the Dense Civilization this time was actually the Hydrogen Gold Bomb!

The Hydrogen Gold Bomb, simply put, is created by technologically compressing Hydrogen Element into Metallic Hydrogen, then making dense metallic hydrogen into weapons. Thus, when the dense Hydrogen Gold Bomb hits the enemy, the dense Hydrogen Element will explode out, creating a terrifying energy impact.

However, generally, as Hydrogen is a gaseous element, it is not possible for it to become metallic, because Hydrogen only becomes liquid at -252 degrees and solid at -259 degrees. Originally, scientists thought this was the limit for Hydrogen, however, through continuous research, they found that under a pressure environment of 445Gpa, the state of solid Hydrogen would again change, finally becoming Metallic Hydrogen, completing a jump transition of the material ground state.

In this state, the hydrogen molecular bonds will break, and the electrons in fixed orbits between molecules will be squeezed into communal electrons, making these electrons move freely from fixed motion, similar to the free electrons outside metal atoms, thus giving Metallic Hydrogen its conductive properties.

Simply put, freeing electrons from the binding of the atomic nucleus and transforming original covalent bonds into metallic bonds are key to the metallization of Hydrogen.

From these points, it can be seen that the conditions for Hydrogen to metallize are very stringent and almost non-existent in nature, except inside gas giant planets like Jupiter, where Metallic Hydrogen exists. Although with advanced technology, Metallic Hydrogen can be synthesized through technical means, the technology required to make fragile, high-density Metallic Hydrogen into a weapon is extremely high.

It’s likely that in the entire universe apart from the Dense Civilization, no other civilization would develop such weapons.

This is mainly because the Dense Civilization naturally has a very high density, which is their natural advantage; hence many of their researches are conducted under high-density conditions, thus their application of density technology is very advanced, far surpassing the Wandering Alliance, and this is key to their ability to make Metallic Hydrogen into special weapons.

"I’ve always said, don’t get cocky. In front of our Dense Civilization, you all are nothing!"

After achieving some success with the first wave of attack, Neutron Star Gao Mi sent a taunting message, "If you had left immediately, there could have been a way out for you, but now you just obediently wait to be annihilated by our Dense Civilization!"

"The war has just begun, do you think you’re guaranteed victory?"

Constant Star Lu Chen, not caring to say much, simply retorted briefly and then spoke through actions.

Under the orders of Lu Chen, the Battle Stars of the Wandering Alliance, including Eternal Life and Science and Martial Battle Stars, launched a counterattack.

To regain the momentum just lost, they directly used ultimate weapons such as Quark Decoherence and Cosmic Bomb right from the start.

Among the fifty battle stars, twenty-five used Quark Decoherence and twenty-five used Cosmic Bombs; these two types of weapons had completely different modes of attack, effects, and paths, so this mixed attack strategy was difficult to defend against using just a single defensive measure.

The Dense Civilization suffered this disadvantage; they had little intelligence on the Wandering Alliance and initially only used high-density walls to block the shockwaves of Cosmic Bombs but overlooked Quark Decoherence, resulting in two Dense Battle Stars being hit by Quark Decoherence, instantly turning into a sea of quarks.

Moreover, this counterattack wave from the Wandering Alliance completely disrupted the square array of the Dense Civilization.

Faced with this excellent opportunity, Constant Star Lu Chen immediately ordered all battle stars of the Wandering Alliance to engage in battle, aiming to disperse the combat power of the Dense Civilization and annihilate them one by one.

This decision came after Constant Star Lu Chen carefully analyzed the current intelligence on both sides’ combat strength; he found that the number of battle stars on his side far exceeded that of the Dense Civilization. If the Wandering Alliance wanted to win this war, they had to use their advantage, hence why Lu Chen seized the moment when the Dense Civilization’s array was disrupted to have all battle stars actively strike.

With this command, this war was pushed towards an even more intense peak!
