Wandering Meteor-Chapter 195 - 194: The Age of Eternal Life

The Gravity Black Hole, after absorbing the matter from the self-destruction of three Planet Battleships, now possesses nearly 650 Planet Masses.

At this point, the Gravity Black Hole truly became a Material Black Hole, but due to the extreme density required for the formation of a black hole from matter, the devoured 650 Planet Masses began to compress inward immediately.

The Gravity Black Hole, initially 5000 kilometers in diameter, shockingly compressed down to a mere 65 meters in an instant.

Following that, before Constant Star Lu Chen could make any move, this newly stabilized 65-meter Material Black Hole astonishingly began to gravitationally interact with the black hole at the center of the Ring Nebula, and was forcibly captured by the more massive black hole.

"Damn it!"

Lu Chen was taken aback upon discovering this situation.

It was a black hole that he had created with great difficulty through a fortunate coincidence, and it bore significant research value; it couldn’t just be lost so easily.

Thus, Constant Star Lu Chen immediately utilized a Gravity Increment in an attempt to pull back the 65-meter black hole.

Regrettably, his Constant Star Mass was far too inferior to the black hole at the center of the Ring Nebula; even though as a Celestial Civilization he could employ Gravity Increment, he still could not overcome the nebula black hole which was not a Celestial Civilization.

The mass difference between the two was simply too great; Lu Chen didn’t even possess one ten-thousandth of the other’s mass.

What’s more, the gravitational interaction between the two black holes was also extremely strong, far beyond something that Lu Chen, still in his Constant Star state, could disrupt.

Therefore, Constant Star Lu Chen could only watch as the 65-meter black hole was captured and then consumed by the black hole at the center of the Ring Nebula, becoming part of its mass.

"Damn it, being massive really is powerful, to snatch so easily, I’m convinced!"

Of course, this was just a moment of frustration for Constant Star Lu Chen, but he did realize that, even as a Constant Star, his mass and strength were still far from sufficient, and he still needed to grow, to continue growing.

All along, Lu Chen was not one to suffer losses. Since the black hole he had painstakingly created was captured, he had to retrieve something from the Ring Nebula in exchange, so he immediately ordered the Wandering, Green Star Battle Star, and Earth Battle Star to not overlook any valuable items they came across while carrying out their annihilation missions.

As for Lu Chen himself, he set his sights on the Constant Stars within the Ring Nebula.

Although he was powerless against the elderly Constant Stars near the black hole, there were many others within the nebula arm, far from the center black hole, which he could seize at will.

Before long, Constant Star Lu Chen found a newborn Constant Star with a mass of 100 Constant Stars. Without a second thought, he forcefully pulled it into the Roche limit and instantly absorbed it...

In this way, Constant Star Lu Chen proceeded to plunder and consume voraciously within the Ring Nebula, and his own Constant Star Mass was rapidly increasing.

Meanwhile, the Metal Planet Wandering, Earth Battle Star, and Green Star Battle Star were eradicating Ant-man Civilization’s Colonization Stars within the Ring Nebula, while also plundering all available material resources.

Constant Star Lu Chen referred to this plan as the Strengthening Plan.

Having recently encountered the Earth Core Civilization, they knew the opponent’s technological power was stronger than their own, so they decided to bolster their own strength while they were in the Ring Nebula.

Aside from collecting materials, the Wandering Alliance also placed great emphasis on technological advancement.

While executing their eradication missions, they purposefully preserved a few key Ant-men, delving deeply into their life forms and memory knowledge.

Fortunately, one of the captured Ant-men was a biologist, previously involved in the secretive Eternal Life project initiated by the Ant Queen. This project was the Ant Queen’s attempt to develop Eternal Life Technology, applying it to herself so that she could become the last and only Ant Queen of the Ant-man Civilization, eternally enslaving the entire Ant-man Civilization.

Ultimately, the project was successful, and the Ant Queen achieved her long-desired Eternal Life.

However, Eternal Life does not mean immortality; the Ant Queen was eventually captured by the Earth Core Civilization and died in the war between the Earth Core Civilization and the Wandering Alliance.

If there is indeed such a thing as karma in the universe, this might just be it!

With the memory information of this Ant-man biologist, the scientific team at the Wandering Base quickly learned the core principles of the Ant-man Civilization’s Eternal Life biotechnology.

Although this technology catered specifically to the Ant-man species and was not applicable to Earth People or Light Synthesis People, having a ready-made technology as a reference meant that they were close to true Eternal Life!

Eventually, after more than three hundred years of continuous research to overcome Eternal Life Technology, the scientific team at the Wandering Base finally developed the corresponding Eternal Life Technology tailored to Earth People and Light Synthesis People. This signified that from that moment on, Earth Civilization and Light Synthesis Civilization had truly entered the Era of Eternal Life!!

However, one point that should be clarified is that this so-called Eternal Life is only theoretical.

Since no one has actually lived long enough to reach Eternal Life, this newly developed Eternal Life Technology has only achieved Eternal Life in theory.

The scientists researching this technology conducted countless experiments in the laboratory. Each time, they managed to successfully overcome the limitations of the number of biological life’s genetic splits and excluded all serious side effects, so at least in theory and laboratory conditions, this technology was viable.

But as everyone knows, the evolution of biological cells is difficult to control and replicate through experiments.

Even though biologists in the experiments managed over a hundred thousand cycles of gene splitting, with each cycle’s mutations and effects being insubstantial, the challenge lies in the actual process of Eternal Life, where the number of gene splits far exceeds a hundred thousand, perhaps reaching into the millions or even billions...

Then after innumerable splits.

Are the genes still the original genes?

And might they undergo unforeseen changes?

It is because of these uncertainties that this Eternal Life Technology is known as theoretical Eternal Life.

To avoid unknown genetic mutations that could occur during the Eternal Life process, scientists from both civilizations convened a Symposium on Eternal Life at the Wandering Base.

At the conference, all scientists unanimously agreed: the gene splitting experiments must continue indefinitely, as long as biological life persists, these experiments are necessary to preemptively safeguard against genetic changes.

Aside from the monumental achievement in Eternal Life, the Wandering Alliance also conducted considerable research on black holes.

Naturally, this was driven by Lu Chen’s persistence; through long-term observation and study, they discovered physical characteristics of black holes, including angular momentum, charge, and more.

According to these characteristics, there existed black holes that were non-rotating and uncharged, non-rotating and charged, rotating and uncharged, and rotating and charged.

Furthermore, they deduced that the reason for black holes’ incredible gravity might be due to deceptive phenomena.
