Wandering Meteor-Chapter 254 - 253: The Science Martial Movement

The Lithium Eagle Squadron suddenly received a message from headquarters.

The message stated that a huge change was occurring within the Star Realm Ball, and it was urgent. They were instructed to rush to the specific location of the Star Realm Ball and not to waste time on trivial matters. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

After receiving the order from headquarters, the Lithium Eagle Squadron immediately held back their retort and inquired, "You live near the Star Realm Ball, do you know where exactly the emergency is happening?"

Although the Metal Civilization could detect that something abnormal was happening in the Venus Realm, due to the vastness of the Star Realm Ball, they couldn’t pinpoint the precise coordinates. Moreover, they didn’t fully understand the current situation of the Star Realm Ball either. To execute the headquarters’ orders, they decided to seek information from nearby civilizations.

The Square Clan Civilization said, "The Earth Core Alliance who are the guardians of the Star Realm Ball would know best, but they were annihilated by the Wandering Alliance. Now, the Wandering Alliance should have the clearest idea."

The Lithium Eagle Squadron immediately asked Wandering, "Do you know?"

Wandering hesitated because he didn’t know whether he should answer or not.

At this moment, Lu Chen from the Constant Star within the Celestial Body Capture Device informed him to cooperate with the Metal Civilization, as this might be a perfect opportunity for the Wandering Alliance to escape the current crisis.

So, Wandering said, "I know."

The Lithium Eagle Squadron originally wanted to take the Metal Planet Wandering with them, and taking advantage of the situation, they said, "Good, come with us."

Wandering, following Lu Chen’s instructions, responded, "But many of our Battle Stars have fallen into the hands of Square Clan Civilization, and we hope you can ensure their safe return."

Without hesitation, the Lithium Eagle Squadron imperiously commanded, "Square Clan Civilization, release them now!"

Hearing the order, the Square Clan Civilization was immediately torn. On one hand, they were reluctant to give up the Celestial Body Capture Device; on the other, they dared not defy the Lithium Eagle Squadron. Ultimately, they could only look towards their only leader, Hengxing, for direction.

Hengxing was silent for a moment, then with no choice said, "Let my soldiers return, release them."

As the Square Clan Civilization withdrew their invading forces, the conflict between the two civilization alliances came to a temporary halt.

Upon learning that all the Wandering Alliance’s Battle Stars had safely returned, both Lu Chen and Wandering were greatly relieved. Although some Battle Stars sustained severe equipment damage, as long as there were no casualties, that was all that mattered, especially since each Battle Star had a complete industrial chain—one that could quickly repair the damage given their productivity.

However, Lu Chen did not let down his guard.

He was well aware that the real crisis was not completely averted—they had just moved from the wolf’s den into the tiger’s mouth.

The mighty Level 4 Civilization, the Metal Civilization, was not a benevolent force. If they found no value in them, they could be eliminated at any time.

Therefore, he must find a way to escape from the clutches of the Lithium Eagle Squadron. However, this would require the right opportunity, so for now, he could only quietly wait for such a moment to arrive.

At this time, the Lithium Eagle Squadron curiously asked, "By the way, why did you attack the Wandering Alliance? And what is this Guardian of the Star Realm Ball you mentioned earlier?"

The Square Clan Civilization truthfully replied, "The Guardian of the Star Realm Ball is a role elected jointly by four civilizations near the Star Realm Ball, mostly responsible for the safety and stability of this region, and also to prevent civilizations from outside the Sky Zone from entering the Star Zone at will, affecting the entropy system of the Star Zone."

"You four minor Level 3 Civilizations dare to make assumptions about the ownership of the Star Realm Ball; you’re overestimating yourselves. The Star Realm Ball is not anybody’s private property; it’s a relic of the Big Bang with extremely high research value. It’s not something you can claim for yourselves, especially given you lack the strength to do so. Besides you two civilizations and the Earth Core Alliance you mentioned earlier, which other civilization is part of this?" the Lithium Eagle Squadron asked.

The Square Clan Civilization said, "The Eternal Life Civilization."

The Lithium Eagle Squadron continued to inquire, "Where is the Eternal Life Civilization now?"

The Square Clan Civilization replied, "They are tens of thousands of light-years away, at a considerable distance."

"Well then, since you two civilizations are also among the designers of the Star Realm Ball Guardians, you also bear certain responsibilities for the Star Realm Ball. Come with us, maybe you can be of help there. However, before we leave, I must warn you, don’t try any tricks, or you’re seeking your own death!" the Lithium Eagle Squadron warned.

"We’re aware of it!"

Despite their reluctance, the Square Clan Civilization and Shell Clan Civilization dared not rebel and could only obediently agree.

In fact, deep down, they did not care about the status of the Star Realm Ball at all; they were only concerned with their own interests and safety. If it weren’t for the fear of the combat squad Li Ying taking harsh measures against them, they would have run away long ago.

Especially the Shell Clan Civilization.

They thought themselves extremely unlucky.

Originally, they had received intelligence from the Earth Core Alliance, intending to reap the benefits without effort, but had not expected the combat squad Li Ying to emerge out of nowhere en route and even drag them into this mess, creating a highly critical situation. Now, all they could do was to take one step at a time.

Finally, after issuing all commands.

A Metallic Battle Star from the combat squad Li Ying immediately activated the wormhole device, creating a spatial tunnel leading to the Star Realm Ball.

Afterward, eight Battle Stars from the combat squad Li Ying forged ahead, with the Wandering Alliance, Square Clan Civilization, and Shell Clan Civilization in the middle, followed by two Battle Stars from the combat squad Li Ying bringing up the rear. Their main task was to prevent any civilization from escaping or making minor moves.

Seeing this formation, the Wandering Alliance, Square Clan Civilization, and Shell Clan Civilization all knew that the combat squad Li Ying did not fully trust them and remained highly vigilant; therefore, the three of them didn’t dare to make any rash moves and could only follow the combat squad Li Ying obediently for now.

During the large troop’s advance.

The Wandering Alliance began to curiously inspect the spatial tunnel.

Although the Wandering Alliance was also a Level 3 Civilization, they had not yet thoroughly researched space technology and were incapable of creating wormholes; however, this was undoubtedly a great opportunity for them to closely observe the structure of the wormholes, which would help them overcome the technical difficulties of space wormholes.

Moreover, the weapons experts within the Wandering Base were tirelessly developing new weapons.

Because through this battle, especially in comparison with the combat squad Li Ying, they understood that the power of their weapons was still too weak; they must develop their own special weapons and equipment.

As for Constant Star Lu Chen, he still remained inside the Celestial Body Capture Device.

While the scientists were developing weapons, Lu Chen, as the leader of the Wandering Alliance, also needed to enhance his combat strength, so he had to accelerate the consuming of Huang Xing’s Intention Particles.

Previously, Lu Chen’s attention had been somewhat distracted by external situations, allowing Huang Xing a chance to breathe and continuously provoke him with words. Now he poured all his rage onto Huang Xing, and in just a moment, the previously arrogant and complacent Huang Xing was beaten into a destitute stray, repeatedly begging for mercy.

However, Lu Chen did not show any mercy and continued to ruthlessly absorb all of Huang Xing’s Intention Particles.

Additionally, Lu Chen retained a portion of information within Huang Xing’s Intention Particles. With this information, Lu Chen also gained some understanding of the Square Clan Civilization, Shell Clan Civilization, and Eternal Life Civilization powers.

Although at this moment, Constant Star Lu Chen had completely absorbed Huang Xing, he still decided to stay inside the Celestial Body Capture Device. After all, going out now would attract too much attention. It was better to hide his intelligence within the Celestial Body Capture Device, which might produce unexpected effects at critical moments.

It can be said that, having experienced this ordeal and stimulated by the combat squad Li Ying, the Wandering Alliance became even more united than before.

Everyone understood that only if the Wandering Alliance fared better, would they themselves live better. Moreover, under the influence of the communal system, most people had developed a sense of belonging and considered the Wandering Alliance as a big family, with each person being a member of the family obligated to contribute to the family’s prosperity and stability.

Thus, nearly a hundred billion people within the Alliance were single-mindedly trying to find ways to enhance the combat power of the Wandering Alliance.

Even children of a few years old, under the influence of the environment, would hold Sun Wukong toys every day, shouting about eradicating aliens and protecting their homeland!

Amidst such fervent atmosphere, the civilized societies on all the Battle Stars of the Wandering Alliance spontaneously initiated a strong sphere movement; everyone voluntarily gave up their holidays, instead diving into research and development projects concerning technology and weapons. Because the core of this movement was technology and weapons, it was later called by posterity the Tech-Armament Movement.

At the same time, the Tech-Armament Movement became a very important turning point in the history of the Wandering Alliance.
