Wandering Meteor-Chapter 10 Companion Binary Stars?
Chapter 10 - 10 Companion Binary Stars?
Buzz!
Wandering was suddenly captured by a gravitational force while flying, its body trembled involuntarily as it was pulled towards the source of the gravity.
It immediately activated its engines in resistance, but to no avail. Instead, as the distance decreased, the gravitational binding became stronger, and its falling speed increased even more rapidly.
In just a moment, it was pulled within a hundred thousand meters of Small Constant Star, a wave of intense heat and high temperatures hit it. Even though it had a metallic body, it was somewhat unbearable, with a tendency to melt.
The temperature of a constant star is no joke; truly being sucked in would result in vaporization due to the high temperatures!
In this critical moment, Wandering ingeniously transformed its several hundred meters long body into metallic quicksand.
Since Universal Gravitation operates according to mass, when the mass of a celestial body is reduced, the gravitational interaction also weakens and can be negligible if sufficiently small. This allowed Wandering to escape the gravitational binding of the Small Constant Star by passing through its outer layer in a state of quicksand, avoiding being sucked into the Small Constant Star.
Numerous grains of metallic quicksand swiftly moved across the surface of the Small Constant Star, forming a golden sand curtain that enveloped the star before the grains of sand regrouped into a sphere behind it.
Boom!
The instant its body reformed, Wandering immediately activated its engines and sped away from the Small Constant Star.
The Small Constant Star watched the scene, rather surprised.
It hadn't expected the metal ball to not only transform but also split apart.
However, the Consciousness Particles within the metal ball were not strong enough to control gravity; escaping its gravitational field was impossible!
Immediately, the Small Constant Star calmly pursued and regained control of its gravity to lock onto Wandering.
As the gravity of the star rapidly intensified, Wandering's speed was insufficient to escape, and it was again pulled backward toward the Small Constant Star, even though its engines were at full throttle, the escape velocity was still not enough.
"Wow, that Small Constant Star looks really peculiar!"
Meanwhile, having just absorbed a meteorite, Lu Chen noticed the Small Constant Star in the distance.
The Small Constant Star, with a diameter of about fifty thousand meters, emitted a faint blue light, seemingly the same spectrum as the Cat's Eye Nebula.
However, Lu Chen felt something very strange.
Given the mass of that Small Constant Star, it should not meet the minimum requirements for a star, and conditions inside it shouldn't allow for nuclear fusion to occur—how could it possibly shine?
Moreover, the most peculiar feature of this Small Constant Star is that it possesses two glowing nuclei, appearing like two groups of hydrogen undergoing nuclear fusion. This seems to be the so-called binary system, formed when two stars are born too close but reached some peculiar balance, resulting in a binary star. It is because it has two glowing centers that concentric circles of light form around the Small Constant Star!
The vastness of the Universe truly knows no bounds!
Lu Chen, deeply moved, meanwhile used gravity to lock onto Wandering and pulled it toward himself.
"Big brother, thank you!" With the help of Lu Chen's gravity, Wandering successfully escaped the gravitational binding of the Small Constant Star and breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Chen curiously asked, "What happened?"
"I don't know, this Small Constant Star came after me as soon as it arrived, it knows I have Consciousness Particles, and it seems to want to seize my Consciousness Particles!" Wandering explained.
Lu Chen couldn't help but be somewhat angry, daring to attack Wandering right in front of him? As if he didn't exist?
"A small asteroid possessing Consciousness Particles is truly peculiar!"
The binary Small Constant Star floated in the universe, sizing Lu Chen up, and sent a consciousness message: "However, you are just a mere small asteroid, I advise you not to meddle in others' affairs!"
"Are you a new-born Constant Star born from the Cat's Eye Nebula?" Lu Chen didn't respond but instead asked, his consciousness slightly icy.
To avoid mutual gravitational interference, both Lu Chen and the Small Constant Star had retracted their gravity, standing off from thousands of miles apart!
In the chilly vacuum, the Small Constant Star emitted warmth and said, "Since you know I am a Constant Star born from the Cat's Eye Nebula, then you should understand the gap between us. Submissively offer up that metallic meteorite, and I might consider keeping you as a satellite."
"What if I refuse?" Lu Chen asked coldly.
The Small Constant Star replied indifferently, "Then you are courting death on your own. I will melt you and that metallic meteorite together, absorbing your Consciousness Particles completely!"
"It looks to me like you are just a newly created Constant Star. If you can't get enough Hydrogen Element afterward, you might not even maintain a Constant Star Body, and devolve into a gas giant. I'd like to see what capabilities you really have."
At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly recalled the Dark Forest Law.
The universe is a dark forest, not only filled with armed hunters, but the hunters also kill each other, embodying the survival of the fittest!
Thus, Lu Chen decided to strike first; he directly controlled a volcano to spew out a massive amount of lava. The lava quickly cooled in space and transformed into a kilometer-long giant spear, shooting rapidly towards the Binary Small Constant Star.
"All you've said only highlights your ignorance. The marvels of the universe far exceed your imagination. The nebula where I reside is one of the most complex nebula groups. Those ancient Constant Stars had already considered this and exploded into nebula, creating me. I am unlike any ordinary Constant Star; I'm a unique existence. Let me show you!"
The Binary Small Constant Star arrogantly said.
Immediately, it began to spin, and the two light globes inside emitted two types of opposite particles. These opposite particles collided fiercely in mid-air!
Boom!

A terrifying explosion occurred from the collision, and a blazing beam of light shot out, like a Cosmic Light Saber, directly slicing the kilometer-long giant spear into bits, with the residual force hitting Lu Chen, creating a kilometer-wide crater on him!
"What kind of attack is this?"
Seeing his attack come to naught and even receiving a kilometer-wide crater on his body, Lu Chen became extremely solemn.
Had it not been for his constant efforts in strengthening his body, he might have been shattered by the strike!
The Binary Small Constant Star said, "This is Annihilation Technology, a technique that only civilizations of level two or higher can master. You cannot resist, surrender!"
"Annihilation of matter and antimatter?" Lu Chen also knew about annihilation.
Annihilation is a process where matter and antimatter collide, mutually annihilate, and produce new particles.
Its mass-energy conversion rate reaches a hundred percent, whereas the mass-energy conversion rate of well-known nuclear fusion is just 0.7%!
Considering that nuclear fusion, with just 0.7%, can produce the power of the Sun, one can imagine how much more terrifying a hundred percent conversion through annihilation would be!
This was Lu Chen's first time witnessing this legendary technology.
After all, with Earth's technology, not even Controlled Nuclear Fusion had been mastered, let alone Annihilation Technology!
From the previous situation, Lu Chen guessed it must have been the annihilation of Positive Electrons and Negative Electrons, producing a large number of photons.
