Wandering Meteor-Chapter 25: The Natural Magnet Mountain

Windmill Star System, slowly revolving.

The five fan blades composed of Constant Star Systems are tightly adjacent to each other, with a distance not exceeding one astronomical unit.

Lu Chen and Wandering accelerated their flight, and after passing through a band of interstellar dust, entered a Constant Star System within the Windmill Star System.

This Constant Star System was not very large, slightly smaller in diameter than the Solar System, and although the Central Constant Star was almost the same mass as the Sun, it had only captured six planets.

The orbit of these six planets was highly elliptical due to the effect of Gravity from other parts of the Windmill Star System, with a significant distance between the perihelion and aphelion!

Such planetary orbits looked strikingly like a leaf.

Inside this Constant Star System, just like the Solar System, were scattered numerous interstellar meteorites, interstellar dust, interstellar gases, and so on, no different in this regard.

After entering this Constant Star System, Wandering appeared very excited: "Big Brother, can you sense if there's a Celestial Civilization in this star system?"

"With the current strength of my Consciousness Particles, I can't sense across the vast Windmill Star System, at most I can only sense this Constant Star System..."

Lu Chen said, "The celestial bodies within this Constant Star System have no Consciousness Particles."

Wandering then asked, "What about biological civilizations?"

"I can't sense that. Sensing Consciousness Particles is different from normal particles. Since I also possess Consciousness Particles, unless the other party has special methods, they usually can't hide from me."

Lu Chen said, "But sensing normal particles is a bit different, it's more like using the mind's eye to see. The sight of the mind's eye is also related to Consciousness Particles. Given the current strength of my Consciousness Particles, my mind's eye doesn't have that long a reach. We'll only know when we get closer."

"Okay then, since there's no Celestial Civilization in this Constant Star System, can we be a little more arrogant?"

Hearing Wandering's joking words, Lu Chen laughed and played along: "Sure, sure, we are a Celestial Civilization, we can afford to be a little arrogant!"

During the long and boring wanderings, they had long learned to tease and joke with each other, the self-entertaining spirit adding much joy to their journey through the Wandering Universe and reducing loneliness.

They bantered as they flew deeper into the Constant Star System.

When they arrived at the central region of the Constant Star System, Wandering suddenly encountered something strange!

"Odd, after flying to this position, it's like there's some suction pulling at me!" Wandering's massive Metal Ball trembled fiercely, startling it.

Lu Chen asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

"Not sure, it's just like I've been captured by some Gravity!" Wandering activated its engines to accelerate, finding it could counteract the force.

Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh: "Are you silly? Just retract your Gravity."

"Big Brother, do you really think I'm silly? My Gravity is always contracted inside me, but for some reason, I was still pulled by this force, though it doesn't seem very strong," said Wandering unamused.

Lu Chen became serious and said, "Then this force is definitely not Gravity, can you discern the direction of this force?"

"It should be the planet ahead."

The planet Wandering was referring to was the one in the Second Orbital Path of this Constant Star System.

Perhaps Wandering's Consciousness Particles couldn't see it, but Lu Chen could barely make it out, the planet was a lush green one!

Lu Chen was very clear on what green meant.

He immediately called Wandering, and they flew full speed towards this green planet.

With their current speed, it didn't take long to approach the planet.

However, Lu Chen, due to his enormous size, could only anchor at a distance.

Wandering, on the other hand, flew directly above the planet's atmosphere.

Approaching it, they discovered that the planet indeed harbored life, a sweep of greenery at first glance.

The surface was covered with vast expanses of green forest and several wide swaths of blue ocean.

A closer look would reveal many towering peaks that rose from the ground, with trees growing even on the summits.

A spring-like vibrancy everywhere!

After observing for a moment, Lu Chen found something very strange; the trees on this planet all looked the same, as if there was only one species!

But Lu Chen didn't think much of it and had Wandering promptly seek the source of that power; although it hadn't been found yet, Lu Chen had a faint idea of what that force might be!

Wandering, controlling the metal spacecraft, charged straight into the planet's atmosphere.

When it reached a thousand meters above the forest, it began to slow down, eventually hovering a hundred meters above the treetops.

He started to carefully sense the source of the power and, after determining the direction, relaxed his body and flew in the direction of that force.

"Ao!"

While flying over the forest, Wandering suddenly heard a scream.

It sounded like the cry of an animal; could it be hunted by an advanced life form on this planet?

With this curious thought, Wandering descended and plunged into the forest, where he then witnessed a scene that was completely different from what he had imagined.

It was indeed a four-legged animal that was being hunted.

However, the hunter wasn't the advanced life form Wandering had in mind, but a tree!

It turned out to be a Cannibal Tree, and what was more terrifying, this type of tree was ubiquitous on this planet, with a reproductive capacity beyond imagination!

Swoosh swoosh!

Just as Wandering thought of this, several thick vines suddenly ensnared him, their points harshly brandished, aiming to pierce into his body.

It seems these Cannibal Trees had mistaken Wandering for food as well, which was quite foolish.

Wandering gave a cold chuckle, offering no resistance, allowing the Tree Needles to stab down, "clang" went the sound as they snapped.

Only at this point did the Cannibal Tree finally understand the metal ball in front of it wasn't food, so it retracted its vines.

Next, Wandering no longer paid attention to the Cannibal Trees on the planet and focused solely on finding the source of the power, following its direction for some time, until he eventually found the source of the force.

Before him, the source of the power was located in the Extreme North of the planet, a towering ice mountain reaching into the clouds. Wandering crashed into the ice mountain, causing the surface ice to fall away and finally revealing the true face of the mountain.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a natural magnet mountain!

Because Wandering itself was a pure metal sphere, it naturally was attracted by the magnetic mountain.

However, the magnetic force of this mountain was terrifying; it could attract Wandering from the ends of heaven!

At this moment, Lu Chen let out a knowing laugh.

He had already guessed that this force might be magnetic, considering Wandering was pointing to a planet, and Wandering itself was a metallic body. Piecing these clues together, it wasn't difficult to deduce.

Moreover, his earlier speculation was also correct; magnetic force was indeed different from gravity—magnetic force belonged to electromagnetic force, one of the Four Basic Forces of the Universe, the other three being Strong Nuclear Force, Weak Nuclear Force, and Universal Gravitation; among them, electromagnetic force is the most widely used and most common basic force in the universe.

"Wandering, you're in luck; this is a magnetic mountain, you should start absorbing it!" Lu Chen was thrilled for Wandering!

Wandering naturally shared the joy, excitedly knocking off all the ice on the surface of Magnetic Mountain, then began to absorb the mountain bit by bit.

Meanwhile.

A massive battleship also arrived near Tree Demon Star; upon detecting a powerful planetary magnetic field with their equipment, they prepared to land on Tree Demon Star.
