Wandering Meteor-Chapter 165 - 164: Utilization of Curvature

Vast universe, dark space.

In the cosmic space far from Xianhe Nebula, the Wandering Star System with a diameter of four astronomical units was relentlessly pursuing the Planet Flying Device from the Pirate Civilization.

The two sides staged a cosmic chase of epic proportions.

However, as both the Planet Flying Device of the Pirate Civilization and the Wandering Star System had a flying speed of 1.5 times the speed of light, the distance between them did not shorten and remained at around six astronomical units.

In order to quickly catch up with the Pirate Civilization, annihilate them, and reclaim the black sphere, Constant Star Lu Chen started to gather ideas from the science team within the Wandering Base, to come up with a method to eliminate the Pirate Civilization as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be bad news if the Pirate Civilization discovered any relics of fourth or fifth level civilization technologies from the black sphere.

Many of the civilizations that the science teams in the Wandering Base belonged to had been destroyed by the Pirate Civilization.

Now, in the matter of hunting down the Pirate Civilization, these science teams spared no effort, and even redoubled their endeavors, beginning to contemplate day and night various methods capable of annihilating the Pirate Civilization.

After the relentless efforts of multiple science teams, they finally came up with a method to catch up with the Pirate Civilization.

After understanding the plan, Constant Star Lu Chen also felt that it was feasible.

Because both the Pirate Civilization and the Wandering Star System were currently moving at the same speed of 1.5 times the speed of light.

If they wanted to catch up with and eliminate the Pirate Civilization, they would have to somehow reduce the flying speed of the Pirate Civilization while maintaining their own speed.

Of course, it’s generally impossible to reduce someone’s speed without any physical contact between the two.

However, in the world of science, nothing is impossible.

The science teams envisioned that they could use space distortion to reduce the escape speed of the Pirate Civilization.

Because the Pirate Civilization was using Space Tension acceleration technology, while the Wandering Star System was using Space Curvature Acceleration technology, and since both were now traveling at 1.5 times the speed of light, they could be considered as two objects in relative rest.

If the space between the two objects were distorted, it would cause both objects to simultaneously glide toward the distorted location.

To give a simple example, if two marbles were placed on a flat piece of paper and then one presses the midpoint between the two marbles to create a slope on the paper, both marbles would glide down the concave slope.

That’s the basic principle.

This method is also perfectly suited to the current situation.

Since Constant Star Lu Chen was already using Space Curvature Acceleration, which requires distorting the space ahead, all he needs to change is the location of the distortion. That’s not a difficult task for Lu Chen; he merely needed the science team to calculate the midpoint between the two.

Soon, the science team had calculated the midpoint between the Wandering Star System and the Pirate Civilization.

After learning the distance and location, Constant Star Lu Chen began to attempt to twist the space in the middle position using high-intensity Gravity Waves.

However, because the midpoint was further away than the distance previously distorted, considering that gravity is inversely proportional to distance, Lu Chen needed to emit stronger Gravity Waves to achieve the space distortion in the middle. Fortunately, this was not a difficult task for Lu Chen and was easily accomplished.

Once the space in the middle position between the Wandering Star System and the Pirate Civilization was twisted, the speed of the Wandering Star System didn’t change much, still moving forward at 1.5 times the speed of light, but the Planet Flying Device of the Pirate Civilization, affected by the distortion behind it, saw its speed reduced to around the speed of light.

Because the Pirate Civilization was using Space Tension acceleration technology, which involves slightly stretching the space it occupies to move forward using spatial tension, but the horizontal level of the space does not change.

Therefore, when distortion appeared in space behind, the Planet Flying Device of the Pirate Civilization inevitably glided backward, although due to its own speed of 1.5 times the speed of light, it overcame this slide rate and continued moving forward at the cost of losing 0.5 times the speed of light.

That’s why the science team proposed this method.

The science team developed a specific plan and optimized solutions based on the intelligence from both sides; it can be said that in any battle, intelligence is one of the most crucial factors.

At the same time.

The Pirate Civilization also noticed their speed had slowed down at the earliest opportunity.

After a series of checks, the Pirate Civilization found that the Wandering Star System had distorted the space behind them, impacting the flight speed of the Planet Flying Device. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

At this time, it was unlikely for the Pirate Civilization to improve their Space Technology or change it in a short time, so the Pirate Civilization could only fire a three-thousand-kilometer neutrino beam and a Space Shock backward, hoping to disrupt the pursuit of the Wandering Star System.

Whizz!

Faced with the oncoming neutrino superbeam and Space Shock, Constant Star Lu Chen was not surprised.

Having understood each other’s methods clearly during the process of annihilating the Entropy Beast, the possibilities of developing revolutionary weapons in a short time were not great.

Lu Chen had already guessed that the Pirate Civilization would use these two types of attacks. Although the methods of the Pirate Civilization were much weaker than his own, Lu Chen did not take it lightly and directly emitted two Gravity Waves.

One was a Gravity Black Hole, the other was an ordinary intensity Gravity Wave.

The Gravity Black Hole shot forward, suddenly exploded in mid-air, forming a several-thousand-kilometer Gravity Black Hole. Under the binding force of the Gravity Black Hole, even actual light could not escape, and naturally, the neutrinos that were only infinitely close to the speed of light could not escape either. The three-thousand-kilometer neutrino beam was entirely captured by the Gravity Black Hole.

The Space Shock was easily neutralized under the influence of the other Gravity Wave.

And so, while neutralizing the attacks from the Pirate Civilization, the Wandering Star System quickly closed the distance between them.

As the distance gradually narrowed, the sliding rate of space distortion increasingly restricted the Pirate Civilization. The speed of their Planet Flying Device also slowly dropped below the speed of light.

Ultimately, as the difference in speed between the two sides grew larger, the mere distance of six astronomical units was covered in just over an hour.

"Go to hell!"

At this moment, the distance between the two sides was less than 0.1 astronomical units,

Constant Star Lu Chen did not hesitate and directly fired a high energy level neutrino superbeam to completely annihilate the Pirate Civilization in one fell swoop.

As for the black sphere on the Planet Flying Device, Lu Chen was not worried.

After all, that was material left over from the Entropy Beast’s explosion. The material that even the explosion of the Entropy Beast could not destroy would not be possible to be destroyed by the neutrino superbeam, so Lu Chen struck with full force without any hesitation.

Boom!

At this moment, a ten-thousand-kilometer-thick blue torrent burst forth, like a surging torrent erupting from the dark crevices of the universe, carrying the fury of all the members of the Wandering Star System, shooting towards the Pirate Civilization’s Planet Flying Device with an earth-shattering force.
