Chapter 323: Chapter 322: Science Summit

At this very moment, the Wandering Star team is in the midst of swapping positions.

Suddenly, they detected a terrifying 3 million kilometers-long energy beam surging towards them!

Due to the massive size of the neutrino superbeam and being somewhat restrained themselves, the Wandering Star team couldn’t completely dodge it and could only have the edge Battle Star use the Absolute Zero Domain to mitigate it.

A transparent membrane flew out, rapidly expanding and enveloping the area!

Regrettably, because the neutrino superbeam was too large, the temporarily used Absolute Zero Domain didn’t expand to its maximum volume, blocking only two-thirds of the neutrino superbeam.

Thus, everyone on-site witnessed this miraculous and spectacular scene, as the Milky Way-like neutrino superbeam surged forward, but upon contacting the expanding Absolute Zero Domain, two-thirds of its energy seemed to be devoured, vanishing into thin air; only the outer edge’s 1 million kilometers-long neutrino superbeam continued shooting towards the Wandering Star team!

Eventually, the Wandering Star team couldn’t withstand the breakthrough of the neutrino superbeam, with one corner of their triangular formation being swept over by the 1 million kilometers beam, directly melting the three Battle Stars located at that corner into nothing but particles or dust!

This unexpected event led to heavy losses for the Wandering Star team and caught them off guard.

Their originally designed absolute tactic required twenty Battle Stars as the standard number, as only then could they rotate perfectly without any tactical flaws.

However, having earlier unexpectedly lost two stars, the Wandering Star team’s execution of the absolute tactic was already somewhat forced. Now, with the enemy exploiting this weakness and destroying three more Battle Stars, it meant the absolute tactic was completely collapsed. With only fifteen remaining Battle Stars, they could no longer effectively execute this basic tactical requirement.

In fact, this intelligence had already been discerned by the Wandering Alliance.

In previous engagements, robot scientists from the Wandering Alliance calculated the tactical maneuvering vulnerabilities of the Wandering Star team. That’s why Constant Star Lu Chen found this loophole and deployed his highest energy level neutrino superbeam to shatter the Wandering Star team’s tactics in one fell swoop. Without such an intense Absolute Zero Domain, with their larger number of Battle Stars, the Wandering Alliance believed annihilating the Wandering Star team was not impossible!

Seizing this opportunity, Constant Star Lu Chen had already instructed all his Battle Stars to prepare as he launched the neutrino superbeam. When it destroyed three Wandering Star Battleships, completely disrupting their absolute tactic, the surrounding Planet Battle Stars launched a fierce general assault amidst the chaos of the Wandering Star team’s formation.

Boom, boom, boom...

Facing the overwhelming firepower from seventy Battle Stars, the Wandering Star team was like orphans trapped in a sea of fire, completely unable to resist.

Although their Absolute Zero Domain could neutralize most of the weaponry, it was powerless against the special weapon of the Wandering Alliance, the Flow Base Disassembly. It was certain that during the Wandering Alliance’s intense offensive, Flow Base Disassembly was mixed in.

This left the Wandering Star team in utter despair.

After a brief discussion, the Wandering Star team made a reluctant decision.

They analyzed the current situation, knowing full well that it was absolutely impossible for the Wandering Star team to capture the Wandering from the Wandering Alliance’s hands, so they decided to retreat temporarily.

Of course, given the current besieged scenario, the Wandering Star team also knew that the likelihood of a safe retreat was slim. Therefore, they decided to sacrifice four Battle Stars to cover for the others so that they could successfully open a space wormhole and evacuate.

In the end, four volunteer Wandering Star Battleships formed a semi-arc defensive space barrier upfront and used the Absolute Zero Domain to block most of the Wandering Alliance’s firepower.

Regrettably, the Absolute Zero Domain was not omnipotent, at least it could not block the Flow Base Disassembly.

Wherever the Flow Base Disassembly passed, even the area within the range of the Absolute Zero Domain turned into a fluid state, and the space barrier dissolved like water in an instant. Those four brave Battle Stars were the first to be hit, directly melted into fluidic energy by the Flow Base Disassembly - a truly terrifying sight!

However, although the sacrifice was great, thankfully the remaining eleven Wandering Star battlestars still managed to use the time bought by their comrades to successfully open a space wormhole and escape the war.

Facing this situation, Constant Star Lu Chen immediately convened an Alliance conference to discuss.

After discussion, the Wandering Alliance also reached their own decision.

They felt that since they had achieved victory in this battle, there was no need to pursue the Wandering Star team. Firstly, the main forces of the Metal Civilization had not yet appeared, and the principle of not pursuing a desperate enemy was well understood; Secondly, much of the Metal Civilization’s technology surpassed that of the Wandering Alliance, and even if the Wandering Alliance deployed their combat forces to chase, they might not catch up with the Wandering Star team, let alone the improbability of annihilating them; Thirdly, if the Wandering Alliance dispersed their forces to chase, it would only divide their own strength, and it was better to concentrate on heading to the Cosmic Center, focusing on enhancing their own technology and strength.

More importantly, at this moment, a message came from the Wandering Base.

This information was very important and urgent, relating to Cosmic Space and the cosmic expansion.

It turned out that a scientist in the Wandering Base, while calculating the recent speed of cosmic expansion, accidentally discovered that the cosmic expansion had begun to decelerate!

At first, the scientist found it hard to believe and decided to use multiple long-term calculations for confirmation and investigation.

However, to the scientist’s surprise, every subsequent calculation showed that the cosmic expansion was rapidly decelerating, and by the time of the latest calculation, he was shocked to find that the cosmic expansion had actually stopped!

This was not good news, in fact, it was a tremendously bad piece of news!

Their space and environment were constructed under the condition of expansion. If cosmic expansion stopped, the consequences would be too terrible, possibly leading to an ultimate disaster that could destroy the Universe!

Thus, the scientist, disregarding the important ongoing meeting in the Wandering Alliance, immediately released this crucial information. The Alliance conference, originally aimed at deciding how to deal with the Wandering Star team’s aftermath, instantly turned into a scientific summit discussing the halt of cosmic expansion.

This scientific summit on the halt of cosmic expansion attracted outstanding astrophysicists from different civilizations across various Battle Stars to participate. It could be said to be a world-class gathering of elites from the physical community of the Wandering Alliance, where everyone expressed their views and discussed the possible scenarios after the cessation of cosmic expansion, as well as how the Wandering Alliance should handle and survive the impending cosmic disaster.

Constant Star Lu Chen also took great interest in this matter, participating and presiding over this globally watched scientific summit,
