CHAPTER 515: CHAPTER 514 WANDERING NEBULA

The experience, caution, and courage of the Wandering Alliance won them this war.

Once it was confirmed that the Krypton Gold Civilization’s Battle Stars had all fled to unknown coordinates, the Wandering Alliance breathed a sigh of relief. People on every planet couldn’t help but cheer thunderously, celebrating the victory of the war.

Even certain planets, like those of Earth Civilization, had already begun planning victory celebration activities.

And another part of the Battle Stars, after a period of post-battle clean-up, finally came up with the casualty statistics of this war.

Black Hole Lu Chen also quickly received this report. According to the report, the Wandering Alliance had a total of thirty Source Material Battle Stars killed or damaged—ten of which were lost, with the remaining twenty Battle Stars only suffering varying degrees of damage; as for the Krypton Gold Civilization, the Wandering Alliance destroyed a total of a thousand Battle Stars. As for wounded numbers, since the Krypton Gold Civilization had fully retreated, it was impossible to get specific data.

Overall, the outcome of the war was pleasing, and the losses were within acceptable limits.

The only pity was that they didn’t completely annihilate the Krypton Gold Civilization, but there was no helping it—that is the strength of a fifth-level civilization.

Judging from the number of casualties the Wandering Alliance suffered, losing only ten Battle Stars after such a long and intense war is unimaginable by past standards.

That only happens in wars where an Advanced Civilization crushes a lesser one.

In a balanced situation, even with the enemy having a slight advantage, the casualty numbers of the Wandering Alliance are usually very high.

However, this is good news for the Wandering Alliance, but also for the Krypton Gold Civilization. Being able to retreat with only a thousand Battle Stars lost, while facing a disparity of up to three times in combat power, also reflects the strong combat capabilities of a fifth-level civilization.

After the war, the Wandering Alliance entered a brief period of celebration.

First, to celebrate the victory of the war, and second, to make up for the joy of Lu Chen’s evolution into a Black Hole—due to the sudden outbreak of war previously, the Wandering Alliance simply did not have time to do these things.

During the celebration activities, Lu Chen’s eight thousand Constant Star Avatars danced and leaped to their heart’s content within the bounds of the Protostellar Nebula, offering the people of the Wandering Alliance a truly unique celestial dance. In addition, the Wandering Alliance arranged tens of millions of unmanned combat drones and Molecular Satellites to perform a flying show and a light show within the Protostellar Nebula. There were also various sketches, stage plays, dramas, dances, songs and more planned by Earth Civilization, which greatly enriched the observability of the celebration activities.

The celebration lasted for a whole day.

When the celebration was over, people got back to their urgent work the next day with joy in their hearts.

Because to survive and wander in the Universe, one must always be aware of danger—otherwise, one might not even know how they died. And besides, the Wandering Alliance’s grandest plan, the Nebula Project, was not yet complete. Talking about rest at this time was still premature; the Wandering Alliance needed to make more effort to build their beautiful home.

Speaking of the Nebula Project.

It’s nothing other than upgrading the wandering star system that survived the Supernova Explosion into the Wandering Nebula.

And in the construction of the Wandering Nebula, the Constant Star Avatar is an extremely critical factor, even decisive in whether the nebula project can succeed or not.

After all, to build up a miniature star system within a nebula and create a complex nebula structure, stars are certainly indispensable.

Fortunately, the luck of the Wandering Alliance is good; this time, a total of eight thousand stars was born, laying a solid foundation for the construction of the Wandering Nebula.

Under the control of Lu Chen, these eight thousand stars flew to various coordinate positions of the Protostellar Nebula. These coordinates are calculated precisely by the scientists of the Wandering Alliance; they are the crux of the gravitational network within the Wandering Nebula and can also be considered some very important hubs. Black Hole Lu Chen needs to form gravitational bonds with the Constant Star Avatars at these hubs to stabilize the operation of the Wandering Nebula. Therefore, these hubs must have Constant Star Avatars stationed, and the Civilization Planets of the Wandering Alliance can revolve around these stars to form their independent mini star systems.

These independent mini star systems will then revolve around the central Black Hole Lu Chen to form the Wandering Nebula.

However, in the construction of the Wandering Nebula, although the Constant Star Avatars do not have a fixed position order, the Civilization Planets of the Wandering Alliance do. The Wandering Alliance arranges the orbits of various Civilization Planets according to the order in which they joined, from the inside out, namely Earth Civilization, Light Synthesis Civilization, Eternal Life Civilization, Mushroom Civilization, Metal Civilization, Bose Civilization, Fermi Civilization—these seven major civilizations are the mother civilizations of all in the Wandering Alliance and thus are located within the innermost range of the Wandering Nebula. As for the other Source Material Battle Stars, they are arranged according to their Battle Star numbers.

Nevertheless, although the planets are arranged in a sequence, it does not affect the equal status of each civilization within the Wandering Alliance.

The order of arrangement is a representation of the joining time, only to avoid some disputes but is absolutely not a reflection of power hierarchy.

Take Wandering, for example; it actually follows Black Hole Lu Chen from the earliest times, but it is not located in the innermost layer. This is mainly because of the special existence of Wandering; its planet has no life, and many times it needs to be dispatched to fight enemies, so it does not have a fixed position and can fly freely within the Wandering Nebula.

Similarly, Entropy Dragon operates in the same way; both Wandering and Entropy Dragon often need to respond to sudden crises.

Therefore, only about three thousand Civilization Planets actually form mini star systems, while there are eight thousand Constant Star Avatars of Lu Chen, with the extra five thousand prepared for the future.

As there are many more Constant Star Avatars than needed, Black Hole Lu Chen, imitating the structure of the Galaxy Nebula’s center, also built a structure similar to a galactic halo or corona. Firstly, this can conceal the information about the central Black Hole Lu Chen; secondly, it can prevent too much interstellar material from being absorbed by Black Hole Lu Chen and turning into a Quasar.

Because when matter is absorbed by a star, it’s still matter.

But if absorbed by a black hole, it’s no longer matter and cannot be restored to a material state; this is a process of permanent reduction of Cosmic Material.

It does not follow the principle of energy conservation.

Astronomers of the Wandering Alliance have noticed this point. After discussion, the Wandering Alliance decided to minimize the loss of interstellar material before finding the next scientific breakthrough, in order to cope with the increasingly imminent Cosmic Crisis.

Furthermore, now that Black Hole Lu Chen has become a black hole celestial body, although continuously absorbing matter can expand the mass and size of the black hole, it does not cause any qualitative change. Instead, it reduces the total amount of matter available for biological civilizations, so in the long run, it is best for Black Hole Lu Chen to maintain the status quo.

After a buzzing period of construction.

The embryonic form of the Wandering Nebula quickly took shape, and the Wandering Star System has finally upgraded to the Wandering Nebula!

This signifies that the Wandering Alliance has entered a brand-new stage, boosting its overall strength and ascending to the ranks of the universe’s most top-notch civilizations.
