Chapter 360: Chapter 359: Crown Hole Beam

After hearing Lu Xing’s argument, Constant Star Lu Chen had a revelation.

He no longer needed to worry about the psychological states of the participants in the Life Conversion experiment.

Because with Lu Xing, the proponent of the Hormone Wave Theory leading, a comprehensive psychological assessment was undoubtedly conducted before selecting the volunteers. This was evident from the fact that Lu Xing and his wife had already entered the third stage of love.

Thus, Constant Star Lu Chen agreed to the Wandering Alliance’s construction of the remaining ninety Dark Gold Battle Stars and, given the success and increasing maturity of the Life Conversion Technology, these remaining ninety would all employ Life Conversion Technology. This means that the Wandering Alliance will acquire an additional ninety-five celestial lives.

Precisely speaking, one hundred, because the five Battle Stars initially using mechanical systems will gradually transition to the Life Conversion plan, ultimately resulting in exactly one hundred Dark Gold Battle Stars, which equals one hundred celestial lives.

These one hundred Dark Gold Battle Stars will then be the solid foundation of battle strength for the Wandering Alliance to counter various cosmic crises in the future!

Of course, Dark Gold Battle Stars are just one aspect of the battle strength insurance; the Wandering Alliance would definitely not place all hope on one single solution—it’s neither safe nor scientific. Everyone knows not to put all eggs in one basket, thus upon initiating the comprehensive internal construction of the Dark Gold models, the related scientific teams immediately began designing the fourth phase of the New Star Project.

Being a long-term policy of the Wandering Alliance, the New Star Project would continue indefinitely.

However, everyone in the Wandering Alliance knows full well that whether it’s the Science and Martial Battle Stars, Dark Gold Battle Stars, or the New Star Project, they are merely supplements to their battle strength. The real core of the Wandering Alliance’s fighting capability has always been, and will always be, their leader, Constant Star Lu Chen.

As a Constant Star Celestial Civilization, Lu Chen now possesses a massive weight of eight hundred thousand Constant Star Masses!

Thus, from both a battle and scientific perspective, how to effectively utilize these eight hundred thousand Constant Star Masses is naturally one of the crucial elements determining whether the Wandering Alliance can survive the multitudes of cosmic crises.

Therefore, a scientific team has already been established within the Wandering Base to research how to utilize Lu Chen’s mass or combat power, and even how to maximize Lu Chen’s battle capability, especially now that they are facing the imminent threat of the approaching army of the Electromagnetic Civilization.

This is much like two million-strong armies discovering each other from miles away; obviously, they would actively strategize and mobilize their battle resources to ensure victory in the war.

Under such a significant crisis, the related scientific teams intensified their research.

Eventually, they proposed two plans that could effectively enhance Lu Chen’s battle capabilities.

The first plan is actually quite simple in principle—it involves turning Crown Hole Radiation into a continuous beam strike, because the previous Crown Hole Radiations were always intermittent. Although powerful, they couldn’t be controlled after firing, so if facing agile enemies, they often missed their marks. But if designed as continuous radiation beams, then Lu Chen could control it himself, thus realigning the subsequent direction of the Crown Hole Radiation strikes.

This is akin to a water gun that only sprays a burst of water, which cannot change direction after being sprayed.

But if it were switched to a continuous hose, one could control the direction of the water jet by manipulating the hose.

The principle is the same here; this principle falls within the category of entropy-increasing weapons. The Wandering Alliance’s Planet Battle Star had designed such weapons in the past, but due to insufficient energy levels, they were rarely used later. Now is a good time to utilize this technology on the Constant Star Lu Chen.

After all, the mass of Constant Star Lu Chen is as high as 800,000, and it may even increase later, which makes it very suitable for this kind of weapon concept.

To differentiate this entropy-increasing type weapon from the Crown Hole Radiation, the scientists have named this weapon the Crown Hole Beam!

Moreover, since the Crown Hole Beam employs a continuous principle different from the Crown Hole Radiation, this will greatly increase the range of the Crown Hole Beam.

The reason is actually very simple. The Crown Hole Radiation only has the original force when it is emitted, but the Crown Hole Beam has a constant propulsive force behind it. The ranges of the two are definitely different, and if the propulsive force is strong enough, ideally, the Crown Hole Beam could pass through the entire Universe.

Of course, this is just an ideal situation in theory; if one wants the Crown Hole Beam to traverse the entire universe, the necessary propulsive force would essentially be infinite. And to convert that into mass, probably even the mass of the entire Universe would not be enough; meaning even if you gather the mass of the Universe itself for emission, it still cannot travel the length of the Universe.

Not to mention that Constant Star Lu Chen currently only has 800,000 Constant Star Mass, not even one quintillionth of the Universe’s mass.

However, scientists have calculated the propulsive force of Constant Star Lu Chen’s Crown Hole Beam, and after calculations, it was determined that with Lu Chen’s current mass, if the Crown Hole Beam is utilized to its maximum extent, its range could reach about ten light-years!

This is a terrifying figure!

Because if it were Crown Hole Radiation being fired, it couldn’t even reach one light-year. It would collide and rub against other cosmic particles during flight, causing a drop in energy levels, which would also cause a synchronous decrease in speed and power, and eventually, before reaching one light-year, the energy would be completely depleted.

Moreover, it’s important to know that the diameter of the current Wandering Star System is only four light-years. Once the weapon plan of the Crown Hole Beam is implemented, the striking range of the Wandering Alliance will expand to the adjacent ten light-years, approximately 2.5 times, thereby further expanding the airspace while greatly ensuring the safety of the Wandering Star System’s airspace.

As for how to realize the Crown Hole Beam, it’s not difficult, because nuclear fusion reactions are constantly occurring inside Constant Star Lu Chen, and the energy within the Celestial Body can be said to be inexhaustible. Lu Chen had previously been able to naturally use the Crown Hole Radiation, now it only needs the assistance of satellite arrays to easily maintain the continuity of Crown Hole Radiation, thus converting this weapon into the Crown Hole Beam!

The science team had already started the manufacturing of related satellites synchronously when proposing the power enhancement plan for Constant Star Lu Chen. And to prevent the satellites from being affected by the Constant Star High Temperature, thereby increasing the lifespan of the satellites, the scientists also used Dark Gold to manufacture Dark Gold Satellites. According to the calculations of the science team, the Crown Hole Beam plan in total requires over a thousand Dark Gold Satellites. In order to quickly equip Constant Star Lu Chen with the Crown Hole Beam weapon, the Wandering Alliance assigned the manufacturing task of these thousand satellites to each Planet Battle Star. Ultimately, in just one short year with the concerted effort of the Wandering Alliance, these thousand Dark Gold Satellites were manufactured. When these thousand Dark Gold Satellites were launched from Earth, Green Star, Eternal Life, Science and Martial Battle Star, and Mushroom Star to the vicinity of Constant Star Lu Chen, the plan for the Crown Hole Beam was realized!

After the first plan was realized, the Wandering Alliance immediately started the second plan—the Black Hole Expansion Plan.

However, just as the Wandering Alliance was carrying out the Black Hole Expansion Plan internally, a spatial node thirty light-years ahead suddenly fluctuated, and immediately, an incredibly large Space Wormhole slowly formed.

As the Space Wormhole slowly formed in front, the starry sky instantly grew cold, as if the spatial temperature suddenly approached Absolute Zero, making all members of the Wandering Alliance feel like they couldn’t breathe!
