Wandering Meteor-Chapter 316 - 315: Metal Alliance

After achieving victory in the war, the Wandering Alliance began to clear the battlefield and tally the spoils of war.

Lu Chen of Constant Star initiated the Variable Gathering Field, using gravity to pull over an ordinary Constant Star from the Silicon Base Star system.

Previously, because the Wandering Alliance was constantly engaged in battle with the Mechanical Civilization, Constant Star Lu Chen had to stay and command, hence the delay in absorbing stars.

Now that the war was over, Constant Star Lu Chen could naturally plunder Hydrogen to grow.

Although his Constant Star Mass was already substantial, compared to some of the larger mass Constant Stars in the Universe, it was still insufficient; he still needed to continue growing.

The ordinary Constant Star in the Silicon Base Star system had a mass of four thousand Constant Star Masses, and after Lu Chen successfully absorbed it, his own Constant Star Mass grew to 198,500, very close to two hundred thousand - in all aspects, the Constant Star Body received small improvements.

At the same time.

The Metal Planet Wandering was also absorbing Metal Elements scattered in space.

These metals included the wreckage of Mechanical Civilization’s Battle Stars and some Cosmic particles shattered into molecules and atoms.

Once Wandering had absorbed all the Metal Elements, its Planet Mass also grew to 10,200, officially breaking through the ten thousand threshold.

According to conversion ratios, this was roughly equivalent to one Constant Star Mass.

After the Planet Mass broke through the ten thousand threshold, Wandering distinctly felt some changes in its planetary body.

He could clearly sense that the gravity collapse brought about by the increased mass became stronger, as if it was about to crush the molecules and atoms inside the Planet - significantly increasing the planet’s density.

However, a single Constant Star Mass was far from being able to crush atoms into a White Dwarf Star or a neutron star. Currently, Wandering only felt a stronger gravity collapse, far from the limit, especially since his metal material had become Dark Gold - this material had high resistance to compression and stability, not so easily destroyed.

Apart from Constant Star Lu Chen and Metal Planet Wandering, the Wandering Alliance was also searching for spoils on the two Mechanical Battle Stars.

These two Mechanical Battle Stars were damaged in battle, unable to start their core engines and devoid of combat capability. Hence the Wandering Alliance didn’t destroy them, and Wandering didn’t absorb the Metal Elements on these stars, considering that there might be some useful resources on them.

After all, the Mechanical Civilization was also a Level 3 Civilization, possessing Space Wormhole Technology, and possibly making progress towards the unity force. If useful technological insights beyond the Wandering Alliance could be obtained, it would undoubtedly help the Wandering Alliance break through Basic String Theory and synthesize the unity force. Even if these related technologies were not available, at least the Wandering Alliance could study the history of the Mechanical Civilization, which could help understand the environment of the Star Zone Universe.

This was the main reason why the Wandering Alliance ultimately chose to keep the two Mechanical Battle Stars.

After a careful search, the team responsible for the on-site investigation indeed found some things.

First was the origin of the Mechanical Civilization. They were robots created by some biological civilization, but after awakening self-consciousness, they clashed with that biological civilization, eventually leading to war. Winning that war, they began their journey across the Universe, searching and absorbing robots, eventually assimilating eleven different types of robots created by biological civilizations.

Of course, this history was not particularly remarkable.

It was a slow growth process and also explained why the Mechanical Civilization had such extreme viewpoints.

More interesting for the Wandering Alliance was the civilization alliance that the Mechanical Civilization had joined, called the Metal Alliance. The Wandering Alliance, based on some historical records, deduced that this Metal Alliance was the same Metal Civilization the Lithium Eagle Squadron they encountered earlier belonged to.

The Metal Alliance was indeed initiated by the Metal Civilization.

However, this civilization alliance was not quite like the Wandering Alliance in nature, as it was not a very solid life community, but rather a federation-type civilization alliance with not so strong coherence and solidarity among its members. They formed this alliance through agreements made by the leaders of various civilizations, hoping to avoid the effects of the Entropy Reduction Law and thus temporarily prevent wars between each other.

However, there was one thing the Wandering Alliance did not know.

After the Mechanical Civilization fell into a disadvantage in the war, they had sent a request for help to the Metal Alliance.

And so, the leader of the Metal Alliance, the Metal Civilization, was re-informed of the Wandering Alliance’s location.

Earlier, before the Lithium Eagle Squadron was annihilated, the Metal Civilization was very attentive to the Wandering Alliance, especially to the Metal Planet Wandering. They even wanted the Lithium Eagle Squadron to bring Wandering back for research, but unfortunately, due to some accidents, the entire squad was wiped out, and their Metal Civilization lost track of the Wandering Alliance. Unexpectedly, in the help message sent by the Mechanical Civilization, they once again found the traces of the Wandering Alliance.

Consequently, the upper echelons of Metal Civilization, after discussions, decided to relaunch a capture plan.

At this very moment, the Wandering Alliance was completely unaware that they were being targeted by another Advanced Civilization.

...

Aside from the historical data of the Mechanical Civilization.

The Wandering Alliance’s search team found many pieces of data in the main computers of the two Mechanical Battle Stars,

These data included scientific research project experimental data. Although much of it overlapped with what the Wandering Alliance already possessed and wasn’t of much use, some of it was research data about the unity force!

After thoroughly studying this essential data, the Wandering Alliance realized that the Mechanical Civilization’s progress in related unity force research was ahead of them, no wonder they were so confident.

Nevertheless, speaking earnestly, the Mechanical Civilization’s lead in unity force research wasn’t much related to themselves. It was mainly because they had made contact with the Level 4 Civilization of Metal Civilization and had formed a civilization alliance, thus receiving technical guidance from Metal Civilization.

After all, Metal Civilization was a true Level 4 Civilization, with very mature applications and research on the unity force. Even a random piece of advice was a huge gain for a Level 3 Civilization, saving them many detours at least.

And now, these gains have undoubtedly become those of the Wandering Alliance. Scientists from the Wandering Base were ecstatic, happier than getting a wife or becoming a father, and they immediately dived back into the unity force research with these new data.

They believed that with these new experimental data, merging the unity force should not take too long.
