Wandering Meteor-Chapter 39 Great Harvest

Inside the Cosmic Storm.

Lu Chen tirelessly absorbed the liquid hydrogen and oxygen, feeling an immense sense of growth within.

This sensation was previously only felt when he first began to absorb interstellar material; afterward, he became numb to it. Now, with the shift to absorbing hydrogen and oxygen, it surprisingly evoked this long-lost pleasure!

Indeed, gases like hydrogen and oxygen are indeed much more delightful than interstellar meteorites!

Now, as Lu Chen saw the rapid increase in the planet’s water volume and the swift rise in atmospheric density, he couldn’t help but feel a proud sense of accomplishment!

Haha, I now have a lot of water!

What Lu Chen meant was actual water, not any metaphorical sense!

As more and more liquid hydrogen and oxygen flowed into the planet, water began to form on the surface.

Gradually, the entire planet’s surface was submerged by oceans, with only high mountains visible.

The Wandering was also submerged underwater, but luckily, after entering the core area without wind interference, he had shut down the engines; otherwise, they must have been disrupted by now.

At the same time, the massive influx of hydrogen and oxygen caused air current fluctuations, resulting in a terrible Planet Storm, the biggest storm on the planet since Lu Chen became one.

With a diameter of over thirty thousand meters, and moving at a speed of up to 1500 KM/H!

At this moment, Lu Chen couldn’t help but think of the Great Red Spot on Jupiter, a storm on Jupiter said to be bigger in diameter than Earth!

If one were to look at his planet’s atmosphere from space at this moment, there would probably be a fast-moving colorful cloud mass!

While Lu Chen was absorbing a massive amount of liquid hydrogen and oxygen in the core area, he was not stationary, still moving at a speed exceeding the Cosmic Fourth Speed.

Because the gravitational pull at the center of the Cosmic Storm is not weak, he must move faster than the Cosmic Fourth Speed to break free. Right now, Lu Chen’s flying speed is about 210 KM/S, not as fast as before. That is because the Cosmic Storm’s core area has a lot of liquid hydrogen and oxygen as a medium, which is definitely not as fast as flying in a vacuum.

Even the speed of light is different in a vacuum and a medium.

The commonly mentioned speed of light, 300,000 KM/S, refers only to the velocity in a vacuum.

Lu Chen maintained such high speeds, tearing through the storm’s fringe, entering the middle magnetic explosion zone, and later the core liquid zone, passing through the core, then entering the opposite magnetic explosion zone, finally bursting out from the other fringe.

The entire process took a little over six months.

And just this half-year of growth almost matched half of Lu Chen’s previous efforts.

Now, his diameter has explosively increased to four million meters, an increase of one and a half million meters from six months ago; his mass has increased to ten planet masses, three more than six months ago; his gravitational range broke through ten million meters, four million meters more than six months ago; Earth’s Core temperature rose to nearly nine thousand degrees, a thousand more than half a year ago; the atmospheric layer’s height increased to one thousand kilometers, about ten times more than six months ago!

Although the mantle and crust have only thickened a little, the massive influx of hydrogen and oxygen has enriched the geological elements.

Moreover, now that he has oceans, it’s like having a buffer layer; any meteorite collisions in the future will first go through the ocean’s buffer, by the time they reach the seabed, they would have lost much of their force, also reducing the pressure on the land.

Just to mention, the ocean covers ninety-three percent of the planet’s surface, with an average depth of about three thousand meters.

From this, it’s clear that this adventure was very worthwhile, with significant improvements in all aspects!

"If only I could encounter a few more cosmic storms!"

Feeling his strength progress rapidly, Lu Chen couldn’t help but feel emotional.

It’s a pity that Cosmic Storms are rare, Constant Stars are often encountered, and the gases on Constant Stars are even more abundant than in Cosmic Storms, but the atmospheric temperature on Constant Stars reaches up to two million degrees. He cannot get close without dissipating; he doesn’t dare mess with the idea of a Constant Star.

At this moment, Lu Chen thought of the Wandering and said:

"Wandering, you’re out of the Cosmic Storm zone now, come on out!"

With the surge of the sea surface, a metal ball over 30,000 meters in diameter slowly rose.

At the spot where Wandering had been, there was left a huge pit over 30,000 meters long and more than a thousand meters deep. This pit was formed when the Planet Crust could not withstand the trillions of tons of thrust as Wandering’s engines accelerated the planet, causing it to collapse inward by more than a thousand meters.

One can imagine, many years later, if life emerges on this planet, they might be utterly baffled by the origin of this 30,000 meter deep pit at the bottom of the sea.

Could it be the footprint left by an Alien Civilization?

"Big brother, you’ve gained a lot this time, even gaining a new ocean!" Wandering said with envy.

Lu Chen laughed heartily, "This time I owe it all to your help. If you ever run out of the hydrogen required for nuclear fusion, feel free to come and take it from my atmosphere!"

While Lu Chen and Wandering were communicating, the ocean’s surface quickly formed a layer of ice over thirty meters thick.

It turns out that after moving away from the Cosmic Storm, the sea temperature began to cool, and the Earth’s Core temperature could not maintain the sea’s usual temperature, leading to the formation of this thick ice layer.

Such a thick layer of ice would even allow vehicles to drive over it without any issues.

...

Yin Yang Star.

Numerous astronomers struggled tirelessly for half a year and finally located the Demon Star again.

However, the observation results left the whole Yin Yang Civilization somewhat disappointed, angry, and mostly incredulous!

What cosmic joke is this?

Even a notorious Cosmic Storm cannot kill the Demon Star?

Instead, the Demon Star managed to plunder a large amount of Liquid Hydrogen and Oxygen?

Cosmic Storm, where’s your pride?

The basic dignity of being a universe killer, where is it?

And this Demon Star not dying, could it be a devil?

Subsequently, the Yin Yang Star People immediately convened a meeting, but the entire room fell into silence.

These Yin Yang Star People didn’t know what to say anymore. They had said everything they could over the past year, pinning their last hopes on the Cosmic Storm, but that too had failed.

They were truly out of options!

Boom!

Just then, a sudden loud noise accompanied by violent shaking of the meeting room startled everyone.

As these people fled the meeting room in disarray, they finally realized that the cause was an interstellar meteorite that had fallen not far from the meeting room.

Luckily, the meteorite did not fall too fast; otherwise, they would not have survived!

But the Yin Yang Star had a complete air defense system, how could a meteorite just fall like that? And to such a crucial location?

Thinking of this, everyone seemed to understand and turned their gaze towards the meteorite, their expressions turning extremely ugly one after another.

This meteorite, about two meters in size, was still emitting heat after hitting the ground, showing its high temperature, and suddenly, the meteorite moved, shooting out like a bullet, smashing several high-ranking officials of the Yin Yang Civilization into a pulp.

In the end, only the chairman of the Eternal Day Group was left shivering on the spot.
