CHAPTER 406: CHAPTER 405 NEUTRON BATTLE STAR

"Ha ha, you guys are too much, is this the Universe version of a quiz show?" Dark Gold Lu Xing immediately couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

Green Star, at such an old age, still possessed a childlike curiosity and earnestly said: "I am genuinely curious; after all, black holes are different from other celestial bodies and are among the most mysterious in the Universe!"

Constant Star Lu Chen said: "Before, I also thought there could be many possibilities, but once I actually gained control, I realized there wasn’t anything special. It’s just like controlling other celestial bodies, the only difference being that the gravity strength is a bit stronger. Strictly speaking, the essence of black holes is the same as other celestial bodies."

"Perhaps it’s because you have always been part of the Celestial Civilization; when I first transformed from human to celestial body, the difference was significant, whether it was in observing the world, thinking, or acting," Lu Xing shared his experience.

Green Star said: "Then you should be able to observe the entire situation of the black hole now, right? What is at the center of the black hole?"

Constant Star Lu Chen said: "From my observations, the Black Hole Ball is within the black hole’s atmosphere layer; diving further deep into it enters the liquid zone of the black hole material, where the black hole material is noticeably denser and appears like a black mysterious fluid. Further deep leads to the solid state zone of the black hole material, where the pressure is immensely great, turning even the black hole material solid. At the very center of the Black Hole Ball is a metallic state of black hole material. The surface of the black hole material’s metallic state is golden, the core is bright white, where the space and material are hard to distinguish, and the core temperature is extremely high, exceeding the natural maximum temperature, very close to the temperature at the moment of the Big Bang."

The description by Constant Star Lu Chen opened a new world for everyone, and it was also the Wandering Alliance’s first real observation of the interior of a black hole.

To further unlock the mysteries of black holes and whether they connect with white holes, more than just observation was required; more research and experiments were needed.

Previously, the Wandering Alliance didn’t have the conditions for experimental research, as they still had to find materials that could withstand the black hole’s gravity, and Constant Star Lu Chen had also been cooperating with relevant scientific teams in experiments. But now, with Constant Star Lu Chen unexpectedly gaining control of a black hole and possessing a Black Hole Avatar, this problem was solved.

First, Constant Star Lu Chen could cooperate by controlling the gravity strength, allowing the Wandering Alliance’s equipment to briefly enter the black hole’s event horizon for exploration; secondly, the equipment that entered could extract some black hole material from the surface of the Black Hole Ball for research, thus quickly analyzing the composition of the black hole, establishing a complete black hole theory, and determining what material and what principle can withstand such tremendous gravitational pull of the black hole?

Of course, even if there were ways to enter the black hole for observation, persistent and lengthy research was still an indispensable process. Therefore, there shouldn’t be any significant progress in black hole research in the short run. Moreover, at present, Lu Chen’s black hole avatar’s mass isn’t considered large in the universe, and black holes of different masses could also vary, so studying black holes is not as simple as imagined. It still needs to proceed step by step along with the growth of the black hole avatar; haste doesn’t help.

Meanwhile.

In addition to researching black holes, the Wandering Alliance didn’t slow down other research projects.

To strengthen the survival capability of the Wandering Alliance in the cosmic crisis, the Wandering Alliance proposed two plans: one hidden and one strong.

[One Hidden] refers to, after obtaining the core invisibility technology from the Ghost Civilization, fully assimilating it into their own and utilizing it on the Wandering Alliance to make them invisible in the universe, thus avoiding many unnecessary conflicts. Although the Wandering Alliance had scientists propose this idea before, due to the limitations of invisibility technology at that time and insufficient energy, it had been shelved. Now, with the acquisition of Ghost Civilization’s invisibility technology, this plan has been unsealed!

[One Strong] refers to the completion of the White Dwarf Battle Star which is the fourth phase of the new star plan of the Wandering Alliance, currently performing well in actual combat, so the Wandering Alliance believes it’s time to launch the next phase of the new star plan. After careful deliberation by the scientists, they believe that the current technological situation (mainly the successful experience in the black hole reincarnation scheme) is suitable, hence, the theme for the fifth phase of the new star plan was set as [Neutron Battle Star]!

But, the content of the fifth phase of the new star plan is not just the Neutron Battle Star.

Since the previous two phases of the new star plan were producing Dark Gold Lu Xing and White Dwarf, which were not directly habitable battle stars, during this period, the population of Wandering Alliance exploded again. To resolve the population crisis, the Wandering Alliance added the planning and construction of ordinary Planet Battle Stars to the fifth phase of the new star plan.

The fifth phase of new star plan is expected to produce a total of one hundred and twenty battle stars, among which twenty are Neutron Battle Stars, each with a mass of 1,000 Constant Star Masses. This mainly takes into account that Lu Chen already has a black hole avatar and previously captured a Neutron Star Chao Ci, so the demand for neutron battle stars is not very high; producing twenty is just to enrich the tactical arrangement and strike capability of the Wandering Alliance;

The remaining one hundred are all ordinary Planet Battle Stars, with a mass of over two thousand planet masses, approximately twice that of Jupiter. The scientists plan to equip these battle stars with the most advanced weaponry, including Unified Energy Beam, Quark Decoherence, Cosmic Bomb, Flow Base Disassembly, along with the newest ultimate weapon developed by the Wandering Alliance — Information Shock. Because of the massive use of this new weapon, these batch of battle stars were also designated as [Information Battle Stars], representing the Wandering Alliance’s most advanced level of combat capabilities, also becoming the ace combat team in the new era of the Wandering Alliance!

Of course, from another perspective, the current total population of the Wandering Alliance is around eight hundred billion, spread across fifty Science and Martial Battle Stars, Eternal Life Battle Stars, and the three main and auxiliary commanding stars of Earth, Green Star, and Mushroom Star, with an average of about fifteen billion people per battle star.

The Wandering Alliance plans for ten billion people per battle star, and the newly designed Information Battle Stars with a larger mass and size, can easily accommodate around thirty billion people each, so with the current population of the Wandering Alliance, it’s naturally impossible to fully occupy all the battle stars. There are still so many being manufactured, one for enhancing combat power, and two for making long-term plans. With these one hundred Information Battle Stars, according to the current population growth plan of the Wandering Alliance, there should be no need to consider the problem of population space for at least the next few mega-years.

Additionally, it’s worth noting.

As the Wandering Alliance’s technical craftsmanship progresses again, the production capacity of the star-making factory has also significantly increased, and the fifth phase of the new star plan is expected to be completely produced in just two thousand years.
