Wandering Meteor-Chapter 37 Cosmic Storm

"Do any of you have a plan for this?"

"Catching that Demon Star is not an easy task; it is a Celestial Civilization!"

"It’s precisely because it’s difficult that we need to do it; it’s a challenge to us, and if we succeed, we will make history!"

"That Demon Star has stolen our Diamond Planet, causing us heavy losses; we must capture it to recover our losses!"

"However, we have absolutely no experience in capturing Celestial Civilizations, nor do we know what methods to use!"

"Is this the answer your government has for us, Eternal Day Group? We fund you with so much money each year; have we made you too comfortable that you can’t even handle this minor task?"

"Is this really considered a minor task?"

"Humph, stop making excuses. If you can’t come up with a solution, our group will stop our financial support and turn to support those who are capable."

"Enough, stop quarreling. We should be working together at this time. As you are well aware, our Eternal Day Group controls eighty percent of the economic lifeline of Yin Yang Star. Should anything happen to our group, the entire Yin Yang Star would be implicated, and the economy could collapse overnight. That’s not something you want to see, right?"

"If this is something we must do, then I suggest we ask for help from Feather Robe Star; he is also a Celestial Civilization, he might have a way."

"No, he is currently cooperating with us on the interstellar immigration program; we can’t disturb him, and he can’t just make a move rashly, else all our early infrastructure efforts would be in vain. The loss would be too great. Besides, if we alarm him, we might lose the opportunity to handle the Demon Star ourselves."

"..."

As the discussion became more intense, everyone eventually left in discontent.

hours later, the senior officials of the Yin Yang Star Government and Eternal Day Group reconvened for discussions.

Unfortunately, the talks once again ended without any results.

Thus, the discussion on how to capture the Demon Star continued for half a year.

During this time, the highest-ranking individuals of the Yin Yang Civilization received two significant pieces of news.

Firstly, while searching for the Demon Star, astronomers of Yin Yang Star discovered a Cosmic Storm between the Diamond Star System and the Giant Dragon Star System in the void region. During the observation of this Cosmic Storm, they fortuitously saw the Demon Star and a Metal Planet entering the range of the Cosmic Storm. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

This gave the Eternal Day Group a glimmer of hope, believing it was divine intervention.

If the Demon Star perished in the Cosmic Storm, it would reduce a threat for them and save a lot of effort!

The second piece of news was that a transport vessel had brought back many resources from Tree Demon Star. Besides some native ores of Tree Demon Star, the young seedlings of the Cannibal Tree attracted the most attention. They were very eager to understand the properties of this extraterrestrial Cannibal Tree, so they immediately formed a research team to study the Cannibal Tree.

......

Cosmic Storms and Black Holes are known as the two great killers of the Universe.

Everyone is familiar with Black Holes, so I will not elaborate on them here. From the name itself, a Cosmic Storm sounds somewhat similar to the storms on planets.

However, Planet Storms can only move within a planet and are killers of biological life; whereas, Cosmic Storms move within the universe and can devour planets, even Constant Stars, making them killers of celestial bodies.

Therefore, the two differ greatly in size; even the smallest Cosmic Storm has the size of a planet.

Furthermore, the formation causes of the two are also somewhat different. Planet Storms, as is well-known, are formed by the convergence of gas flows, but Cosmic Storms form from the collapse of dying Constant Stars, and because Gravity acts as the core of the storm’s eye, Cosmic Storms are usually vortex-shaped, similar to an enlarged version of a tornado.

The cosmic storm was packed with various electrons, particles, and gaseous atoms, elusive and unpredictable.

This is also why the Yin Yang Civilization considered it a divine aid.

After all, when they had tried everything to eliminate Demon Star without success, a sudden elusive cosmic storm appeared, as if God had fulfilled their wishes.

At this moment.

Lu Chen and Wandering had arrived at the edge of the cosmic storm.

This area was originally a vacuum zone between two Constant Star Systems, about 0.5 astronomical units, but it was now filled with the cosmic storm.

The massive cosmic storm transformed everything in its path, many smaller asteroids and celestial bodies were directly absorbed, becoming part of the storm.

Lu Chen and Wandering also felt the terrifying pull of the cosmic storm!

Thus, Lu Chen had Wandering land on the planet, firstly to protect Wandering, and secondly, the combined mass of both would be greater, further reducing the impact of the cosmic storm.

However, to be honest, although the cosmic storm is very dangerous, it is also really magnificent and beautiful!

A cosmic storm does not have just one color like a tornado, it is usually multicolored, and the colors depend on the gas content in it.

If there is a large amount of hydrogen, the color is green.

If there is a large amount of oxygen, the color is blue.

If there is a large amount of sulfur gas, the color is red.

...

The cosmic storm before them was primarily composed of blue and green colors, with only a few streaks of red.

Additionally, there were some dark spots, which were probably the interstellar material absorbed earlier, but they were insignificant compared to the hydrogen and oxygen.

From a distance, the cosmic storm looked more like an ocean, especially the intersection area of the gas storm and magnetic field storm, where the colors were varied and vivid, resembling the tumultuous sea.

Lu Chen ventured into the cosmic storm because he wanted to absorb the gases inside.

Since he last absorbed fragments from Diamond Planet, the mass of the planet had surged, but the atmosphere had become much thinner, and the oxygen content in the atmosphere had always been too low. Now encountering so much oxygen, he certainly wouldn’t want to miss it.

After entering the cosmic storm.

A huge amount of gas storm swept over the planet’s surface at high speeds, the massive force even forcibly changed the flight trajectory of planet Lu Chen, causing the planet to slowly orbit around the eye of the storm.

Seeing this, Lu Chen immediately had Wandering fire up its engines to forcefully correct the flight trajectory.

By this time, Wandering had already landed on the planet’s surface, transformed into a huge rectangular block, one side tightly against the planet’s surface, and the other side extended several huge nuclear fusion engines.

Upon receiving Lu Chen’s command, it immediately started all engines, shooting up fiery red flames, the powerful thrust provided immense acceleration for the whole planet, and corrected the flight trajectory, preventing the planet from being affected by the cosmic storm.

Besides, to prevent the high-speed winds from stripping away the planet’s own atmosphere, Lu Chen also retracted gravity, limiting his own gravitational pull to within the atmospheric layer. With his current range of gravity, if confined to the 10,000 meters of the atmospheric layer, the uniform strength of gravity should be raised to about 1500.

This means that the cosmic storm would need to exceed a speed of 1500 KM/S to strip away the planet’s atmosphere.

Obviously, this is impossible, so Lu Chen entering the cosmic storm was not a suicidal move. With thorough preparation, he could confidently absorb the gases and interstellar material passing by.
