Chapter 361: Chapter 360: Battle of the Currents

After the space wormhole completely formed,

A gargantuan star system emerged, with billions of tiny sparkles flying within the system.

These light points were Electromagnetic Super Men, and the giant star system before them was the Electromagnetic Star System.

It turned out, after all preparations were made, the Constant Star Super Brain ordered the Electromagnetic Civilization to open the space wormhole and prematurely traverse to the front of the Wandering Star System, officially triggering this war.

Thus, it is evident that the Electromagnetic Civilization is not foolish; they knew that while they observed the Wandering Alliance, the latter must have noticed them too and could guess their intentions. Therefore, they imagined that the Wandering Alliance would also be preparing for war, aiming to seize the initiative before the Wandering Alliance could fully prepare for an abrupt commencement of hostilities!

At this moment, under the leadership of the Constant Star Super Brain, the Electromagnetic Civilization continuously maintained this strategic advantage. As soon as the Electromagnetic Star System emerged from the wormhole, it sternly soared towards the Wandering Star System. During its journey, countless Electromagnetic Super Men started flying out from the Planet Flying Devices, with some even leaving the Electromagnetic Star System to approach the Wandering Star System from various directions.

Facing this situation, the Wandering Alliance also found it very tricky.

It was because the opponent chose a timing that coincided inconveniently with their second plan.

However, speaking of this now was meaningless; hence, Constant Star Lu Chen immediately commanded all members of the Wandering Alliance to enter combat mode!

Yet, the Wandering Alliance didn’t rush to counterattack, because Constant Star Lu Chen was very aware of the importance of timing. Moreover, since they still lacked sufficient intelligence on the Electromagnetic Civilization, they needed to acquire useful information while the opponent was approaching.

As the saying goes, knowing both yourself and your enemy ensures victory in every battle.

At this moment, all scientists within the Wandering Base sprang into action, observing the Electromagnetic Star System through various methods.

Eventually, the intelligence observed by the scientists was compiled using big data robots and uniformly dispatched to Constant Star Lu Chen, and the first piece of vital intelligence was about the Constant Star Super Brain’s mass, estimated at eight hundred and twenty thousand Constant Star Mass, slightly higher than the eight hundred thousand of Constant Star Lu Chen. However, since both have large basic figures, this difference of twenty thousand Constant Star Mass would not have much impact; the second piece of intel was the discovery of a Pulsar Neutron Star within the Electromagnetic Star System, continually emitting fixed pulse signals, and this neutron star was also a Celestial Civilization, with a mass of about a hundred Constant Star Mass. This would be the Wandering Alliance’s most critical concern in combat strength, aside from the Constant Star Super Brain;

The third significant piece of intel was the overall combat strength of the Electromagnetic Star System, which, aside from the Constant Star Super Brain and Pulsar Super Magnet, included over three thousand Planet Flying Devices. However, the equipment on these Planet Flying Devices was rather primitive, probably also the reason why the Electromagnetic Civilization could construct so many Planet Flying Devices; after all, Planet Flying Devices themselves are not complex. The truly complex and difficult aspect is the Battle Star Equipment, once the difficult part is removed, manufacturing becomes much easier. However, as a result, these Planet Flying Devices, aside from functioning as means of transport, possess almost no significant combat power, which the Wandering Alliance needn’t worry too much about. What they really needed to be vigilant about were the Electromagnetic Super Men flying out from these Planet Flying Devices!

After analyzing these three crucial pieces of intelligence, Constant Star Lu Chen immediately issued tactical commands.

He instructed ten Dark Gold Battle Stars to focus solely on that Pulsar Star, absolutely preventing it from penetrating the Wandering Star System’s formation, as the consequences would be unimaginable; while Battle Stars such as Eternal Life, Sci-War, etc., were arranged on the outer side of the Heliosphere of the Wandering Star System for mid-range firepower strikes and covering support, meanwhile avoiding attacks by Electromagnetic Super Men; he himself would remain stationed at the center of the Wandering Star System, partially to maintain the operation of the Wandering Star System, and partially to utilize the considerable mass advantage of Constant Star, initiating super long-range strategic bombing while closely monitoring every move of the Constant Star Super Brain in the Electromagnetic Civilization.

Undoubtedly, the real deciders of victory in this war between two civilizations would be the Constant Star Leaders of both sides!

With a thunderous roar!

As the tactical deployments of both sides unfolded, the war officially began, with blinding, dazzling flames instantly filling this part of cosmic space.

And the first to strike was Constant Star Lu Chen, who, upon observing the Electromagnetic Civilization’s army entering his ten light-year range, resolutely used the Crown Hole Beam.

A massive dark spot appeared on the vast surface of the Constant Star, from which a torrential flow of electron energy spewed out, and after being fortified by a thousand-unit array of Dark Gold Satellites on the periphery of the Constant Star, it transformed into a sustained, magnificently vast ocean of starlight streaming towards the distance!

At first, the Electromagnetic Civilization did not take it seriously.

Since the Constant Star Super Brain also had a significant mass, he was well aware of the range of the Crown Hole Radiation, and he did not believe that the rashly launched Crown Hole Radiation from the other side could harm his forces; the opponents were merely wasting their energy and effort.

However, when the range of the Crown Hole Beam exceeded four light-years, even annihilating a large number of Electromagnetic Super Men, only then did the Constant Star Super Brain realize that what the opponent was using was not typical Crown Hole Radiation. Although it appeared the same on the surface, there had been some changes in the underlying principle.

Upon realizing this, the Constant Star Super Brain immediately changed his orders, instructing all Electromagnetic Super Men to spread out and not overly concentrate their attacks.

Because the Wandering Alliance revealed a situation beyond their held intelligence, the opponent’s Constant Star Leader possessed super long-range bombardment capabilities.

This is akin to two troops that originally only possessed a thousand-kilometer range for their strategic missiles, but as they approached each other, still outside each others’ weapon ranges, one side fired a super long-range missile exceeding ten thousand kilometers, causing significant destruction to the other side!

Whether it is the era of conventional weapons or the era of energy weapons in space, the range of weapons has always been crucial. As the saying goes, "Short weapons bring peril," when your opponent’s weapon range exceeds yours, they can barrage you with artillery fire before you even enter your weapon’s range, and in the end, you might be eliminated without even having a chance to retaliate.

This is also why in the evolution of weapons, the progression has moved from cold weapons to conventional weapons and then to energy weapons, not only because of power factors but also due to the critical restriction of weapon range.

"Damn! How is this possible?"

However, not long after the command was issued, Constant Star Super Brain was shocked to find that he might have underestimated Constant Star Lu Chen’s super long-range attack capabilities.

The range of the Crown Hole Beam launched by Constant Star Lu Chen ultimately reached ten light-years, inflicting massive casualties on the Electromagnetic Civilization along the way. However, what was truly terrifying wasn’t just this; it was that Constant Star Lu Chen could control the direction of the Crown Hole Beam from ten light-years away, conducting another extermination-style bombardment on the Electromagnetic Super Men within the nearby ten light-years!
