Wandering Meteor-Chapter 24: Strengthen Skills
Chapter 24 - 24: Strengthen Skills
The vast Universe, boundless.
Lu Chen once again found himself numb, not knowing when or where he was, during his long wanderings.
During this lengthy journey, he had been absorbing interstellar material, and unknowingly, his size had exceeded one million meters, and his mass reached two Planet masses!
Now, his crust and mantle have become thicker, the temperature of Earth's Core has risen to over five thousand degrees, the atmosphere is dense and tumultuous, forming massive clouds at a height of 100 kilometers above the planet surface!
Since becoming a planet, Lu Chen's biological complex kicked in, wondering if life could originate on his planet.
For this, he conducted serious research only to find that in his atmosphere, hydrogen accounted for ninety percent, helium eight percent, and oxygen pitifully less than two percent, along with some trace gases!
Such an atmosphere could not possibly give rise to life, at least not life similar to humans.
Moreover, since he had been wandering in the Universe without a constant supply of starlight and warmth, and the temperature of the Earth's Core was insufficient to maintain the surface temperature, his surface temperature dropped to -136 degrees and the cloud top temperature dropped to -234 degrees, making this environment even less likely to foster life.
Thus, he seriously considered whether he should dock next to a Constant Star System?
However, thinking that the whereabouts of Earth were still unknown, and he hadn't even left the Milky Way, with the vast Universe still awaiting his exploration, he felt he still had a long way to go and dismissed the idea.
To put it bluntly: How could he settle down when he hadn't wandered enough?

Besides these erratic thoughts, Lu Chen also considerably enhanced his strength during this time.
The last time he used annihilation, it exploded uncontrollably, nearly injuring himself, after which he began tirelessly practicing.
After countless practices, he finally mastered the process of using Gravity at the planetary poles, combined with the electromagnetic field, to create electrons and positrons, accelerating their intense collision and controlling the annihilation.
Apart from the annihilation skill, Lu Chen also strengthened his lava skills.
He discovered that if he placed Consciousness Particles in the lava beforehand, even if the lava sprayed from the volcano, he could still control it.
This enabled the lava to have long-range tracking capabilities like a missile, and even if the pursuit failed, it could return, so it wouldn't be wasted.
In this regard, the Molten Lava Missile Lu Chen developed was even more advanced than a missile.
And this ingenious idea, he got inspired by the Wandering.
The Wandering had his Consciousness Particles but was not bound by the Consciousness Field; it could go wherever it wanted, and so could his manufactured lava; he could even use this to create clones.
After strengthening all his attack skills, Lu Chen had more capital to navigate the Universe, but he didn't relax just yet.
He started to fully explore the secrets of Consciousness Particles.
Because he knew that Consciousness Particles were crucial to Celestial Civilization, although the cause of Consciousness Particles was still unclear, the more it was so, the more he wanted to explore, as Consciousness Particles might relate to the mysteries of the Universe.
And his Consciousness Particles, after growing during this time, had increased by at least tens of thousands of times, appearing as countless as the sands of the Ganges at a glance.
With the increase in Consciousness Particles, the benefits were obvious; he could now control Planet Gravity more deftly, his sensory range expanded further, and he learned anything much faster.
This is because he possesses a large amount of Consciousness Particles, which can store a large amount of information, and is also the reason he was able to quickly master the annihilation skill.
Besides these standard attributes, Lu Chen is most concerned about the issue of the Consciousness Field.
After numerous trials, he confirmed that his current Consciousness Field should extend about ten thousand meters outside of the planetary body, as this is the maximum distance that Consciousness Particles can travel away from the planetary body.
Although learning the skill of the Molten Lava Clone made the constraints of the Consciousness Field less important, at least for now it seems not important, some principles that need to be understood should still be clear.
This will definitely be useful in the future.
This is also Lu Chen's habit of dealing with things.
Thinking about this, Lu Chen suddenly thought that the Wandering was still unable to convert Cosmic Rays into Consciousness Particles, so he shared some of his Consciousness Particles with the Wandering.
As time progressed, the Wandering also became larger in size, and if there were not enough Consciousness Particles, it might not be able to freely control its metal body and gravity.
The Wandering was of course very happy to receive Lu Chen's Consciousness Particles, but also very sad, "Big brother, why can't I produce my own Consciousness Particles?"
Speaking of this, Lu Chen was also extremely puzzled.
He speculated from the process of generating his own Consciousness Particles that the planetary magnetic field is key to converting Consciousness Particles.
However, the Wandering now has grown to a diameter of one thousand meters, and has its own metal magnetic field, although this field is not strong, it should be sufficient to convert some of the weaker Cosmic Rays, but why can the Wandering still not produce its own Consciousness Particles?
After much thought, Lu Chen could only conclude that the Wandering does not have its own Consciousness Particles.
As for the specific reasons and solutions, Lu Chen currently does not have the knowledge, he'll have to wait until later.
...
At the edge of Orion's arm in the Milky Way, there exists a peculiar star system.
This star system is not like most star systems which are flattened; it is a vertical star system, shaped like a windmill, consisting of five Constant Star Systems forming five fan blades, all revolving around a black hole at the center of the Windmill Star System.
Therefore, from a distance, it looks like a spinning cosmic windmill.
When Lu Chen and the Wandering saw the Windmill Star System in the distant universe, they were quite surprised!
They did not expect that after their long wandering, they finally moved from the rear end of Orion's arm in the Solar System to the tail of Orion.
Although on the map of the Milky Way, it's just a small distance, in the actual universe, it spans thousands of light-years; Lu Chen and the Wandering have spent an eternity to get here, truly not an easy feat!
Lu Chen sighed deeply, then began to observe the Windmill Star System, according to their current direction of flight, they would enter and pass through the Windmill Star System, so it's necessary for him to understand the Windmill Star System now.
The Windmill Star System consists of five Constant Star Systems, with a diameter of about ten light-years; the five stars in the system are all Main-sequence Stars with yellow spectra, which suggests that the mass of these stars is not very large.
Moreover, the spin rate of the Windmill Star System is not high, Lu Chen speculated that it could be because the black hole in the center of the Windmill Star System does not have enough mass, the gravity it produces can barely bind the five Constant Star Systems, but cannot initiate high-speed rotation.
Of course, these are just Lu Chen's speculations, for reference only, and he takes no responsibility for any adverse consequences.
