Wandering Meteor-Chapter 250 - 249: Detonating the Neutron Star

The neutron star orbiting at the outer periphery of the Wandering Star System was captured from the Pegasus Supernova Remnant.

As for the three neutron stars previously captured in the Ring Nebula by the Wandering Star System, all were invested in the Star Zone during the passage through the Star Realm Tunnel; one neutron star was destroyed by the Earth Core Alliance, and two neutron stars in the Star Zone absorbed a large amount of matter to become black holes.

Subsequently, the two black holes merged into a larger black hole.

The current situation remains unknown.

This time, Constant Star Lu Chen still intends to utilize the neutron star, but not to turn it into a black hole; instead, he plans to detonate it.

The mass of this neutron star is over ten thousand Constant Star Masses, left over from the Pegasus Star Supernova Explosion, which had over fifty thousand Constant Star Masses—larger than any of the three previously captured neutron stars. If it truly detonated, the energy generated by the explosion would be unimaginable and incalculable.

However, to fully detonate a neutron star of such massive size, the required "ignition" is extremely terrifying. Otherwise, the explosive force would not be able to counteract the gravitational collapse of the neutron star, let alone detonate it.

This is why Constant Star Lu Chen requested that all the Battle Stars of the Wandering Alliance use the Singularity Bomb together.

Because, according to scientists’ calculations, with the current weapon power of their Singularity Bombs, at least nine Singularity Bombs are needed to detonate the neutron star.

And while a single Singularity Bomb can easily destroy a planet, and if it strikes the center, even a star could be destroyed, nine Singularity Bombs are needed to detonate a neutron star, which indeed proves that neutron stars are rightfully the celestial bodies closest to black holes, with extremely high gravitational density!

At the same time, one can imagine.

The explosion of a neutron star with over ten thousand Constant Star Masses would definitely cause terrifying destruction to the surrounding material environment.

And the Wandering Alliance, being the closest to the neutron star, would undoubtedly face the greatest impact. Constant Star Lu Chen is well aware of this, as are the scientists within the Wandering Base. They all understand that such an action by the Wandering Alliance is almost equivalent to suicide, but they have no choice—they must stake everything, even if it means fighting to their deaths!

At this moment.

All the Battle Stars of the Wandering Alliance seemed to wear a layer of fearless armor, each with resolute and unrepentant courage, launching Singularity Bombs towards the neutron star at the edge of the star system. Earth Battle Star No. 1 to No. 8, along with Green Star Battle Star, a total of ten Singularity Bombs, like ten brave warriors, fearlessly flew towards the neutron star, the most feared celestial body in the universe.

Boom!

Ten Singularity Bombs struck the neutron star in succession within a few seconds and penetrated rapidly to the neutron star’s core, completely detonating it!

At 10^-6 seconds of the detonation, the surface of the neutron star was rapidly torn apart, bursting out with intense light, unbearable to look at directly, and illuminated thousands of light-years around, far more astonishing than the birth of a star or a Supernova Explosion!

When the time reached 10^-2 seconds, the explosive force from the core completely shattered the neutron star’s hundreds of kilometers and rapidly expanded the range of the explosion’s light to half an astronomical unit. Batches of neutrons ejected at nearly the speed of light in all directions, forming waves of neutron radiation that posed extreme danger!

And at the center of the explosion, the tremendous energy twisted the space into a vortex.

And during the detonation process, space was continuously accompanied by severe shock waves, causing all detection devices to temporarily lose functionality.

Including the Superluminal Detector based on space shock-sensing technology, as well as traditional electromagnetic wave detectors, for at the time of the neutron star’s explosion, a large number of electromagnetic storms spread outwards in turbulent directions, completely interfering with the devices’ detection, and if the protection of the devices was inadequate, the electronic components would be instantly damaged.

Ultimately, the neutron star explosion’s shockwave and expanding light engulfed ten astronomical units, resembling an expanding Red Giant Star, completely submerging the nearby Wandering Alliance and engulfing all the artillery fired by the Square Clan Civilization.

Seeing this scene, Constant Star Haoxing and Constant Star Hanxing were quite surprised. They clearly hadn’t expected the Wandering Alliance to detonate a neutron star, which was undoubtedly akin to suicide. Hence, they quietly waited nearby, waiting for the explosion to subside.

After more than ten minutes, the explosion subsided.

The condition at the site of the explosion could also be observed and detected.

However, the Square Clan Civilization had not anticipated that the explosion site would only have three damaged Planet Battle Stars.

As for Metal Planet Wandering, Green Star Battle Star, Earth Battle Star, Constant Star Lu Chen, and other key members, they were nowhere to be seen.

Just then, as the spatial tremors from the explosion dissipated, the Square Clan Civilization’s detection devices suddenly detected many anomalies.

They discovered significant space shock waves a few astronomical units away in space, a characteristic formed by the movement of massive objects, yet there seemed to be nothing in that area.

Despite this, the Square Clan Civilization was still confident that those traces were definitely from the Battle Stars of the Wandering Alliance moving at high speed after turning invisible, exactly matching the situation from a previous major battle involving invisibility, and they could also observe the Metal Planet Wandering rapidly fleeing in another direction.

After collating this intelligence, the Square Clan Civilization encountered a peculiar situation.

According to their detection devices, the space shock waves caused by invisible movement totaled seven, and adding the three Battle Stars damaged in the explosion, there was a total of ten; Metal Planet Wandering could not turn invisible and was also directly observable, then what about the last, the leader of the Wandering Alliance, Constant Star Lu Chen?

Whether from space shock waves or direct observation, Constant Star Lu Chen could not be found; could it be that Constant Star Lu Chen had vanished into thin air? Or did the Wandering Alliance also possess Space Wormhole Technology?

Of course, the Square Clan Civilization could not imagine that Constant Star Lu Chen was currently inside a Celestial Body Capture Device.

Speaking of which, the Wandering Alliance’s decision to detonate the neutron star was an extremely desperate maneuver, and they had also paid a hefty price to escape the encirclement.

At that time, upon the neutron star’s detonation, all their Battle Stars activated a Star System Level Space Barrier; unfortunately, under waves of impacts, the Space Barrier ultimately shattered. Three Battle Stars bore the brunt, massive amounts of hardware were damaged, and although all personnel had already sought underground refuge, the damage to a considerable amount of hardware left these three Battle Stars unable to escape, having no choice but to remain at the explosion site.

However, seizing the short time bought by the Star System Level Space Barrier.

The Wandering controlled the growth of two metal arms from Metal Planet, deftly operating the Celestial Body Capture Device, releasing Huang Xing towards the direction where Constant Star Lu Chen was located.

As Huang Xing was released, it directly collided with Constant Star Lu Chen waiting outside; the two giant stars began devouring and merging with each other. Seeing this, the Wandering once again operated the Celestial Body Capture Device, cutting and compressing the space where Huang Xing and Lu Chen were located, successfully capturing both stars inside the Celestial Body Capture Device.

Due to the cover of space tremors and electromagnetic storms on the periphery, the Square Clan Civilization had no idea what was happening inside.

Later, as the disturbance from the neutron star explosion gradually expanded, nearby Square Clan Battle Stars, to avoid damage, were forced to retreat, causing a breach in this section of the defense line, from which the Wandering Alliance managed to escape.

However, the eight Battle Stars of the Wandering Alliance fled in completely different directions, partly to confuse the Square Clan Civilization so they could not easily determine which Battle Star had the Celestial Body Capture Device above, and partly to buy more time, ensuring Constant Star Lu Chen completely devoured Huang Xing.

...

Thousands of light-years away,

In a certain part of space, a terrifying Level 4 Civilization was shuttling through a wormhole.

But suddenly, their constructed wormhole structure became chaotic, affected by the space tremors produced by the neutron star explosion.
