Wandering Meteor-Chapter 353 - 352: Lost the Wife and the Troops

Though the ten Planet Flying Devices of the Electromagnetic Civilization were destroyed by the Dark Gold Battle Star, and their high-ranking officials were killed, about fifteen billion people who fled still remained, each glowing all over with conspicuous electric arcs jumping, constant energy fluctuations, congregated in a not-so-vast dark space, still forming a considerably large scale.

But at this moment, the sea of light formed by those fifteen billion "Light Points" suddenly scattered like birds and beasts, escaping in all directions.

It was as if an invisible strong wind had blown, causing this sea of light to surge and dissipate towards all around, and as the distance between them grew larger, the flowing light turned into light points, each carrying a long trail of light, quite magnificent.

Faced with this situation, Constant Star Lu Chen immediately ordered all Battle Stars to launch, to either capture or annihilate.

He was originally quite interested in this Alien Civilization, desiring them to surrender and cooperate with them for research, but he did not expect these aliens to choose to run away. Though, if their positions were switched, they might make the same decision, but at this moment they were obviously on different stances, so they absolutely couldn’t let them escape easily.

However, there were simply too many people from the Electromagnetic Civilization, a whole fifteen billion, all escaping in different directions, and although the population of the Wandering Alliance was a hundred billion, they ultimately could not fly in the Universe like the aliens, nor could they unleash formidable combat strength, so only the Planet Battle Stars could be dispatched and it was impossible to lock down all the escapees. In the end, the Wandering Alliance only managed to kill some of the aliens with their powerful weapons and captured a few, roughly about fourteen billion Electromagnetic Star People still successfully escaped from under the Wandering Alliance’s hands.

Watching those "Light Points" disappear into the distance, Constant Star Lu Chen ordered all the Battle Stars to stop pursuing.

He understood the principle of not chasing a poor thief, especially since the current situation didn’t justify wasting time to pursue some unimportant individuals.

After the Science and Martial Battle Star, Eternal Life, and Dark Gold Battle Star returned, they began to clean up the scene and transport the captured aliens to the Wandering Base for research.

At that moment, Green Star suddenly said: "This Alien Civilization is quite peculiar; it’s my first time seeing creatures that can directly fly through the Universe, and their combat strength is also too powerful, the strongest I’ve seen among individuals, without exception!"

"I’m also very interested in this Alien Civilization, and currently the prisoners have already been handed over to the scientific team at the Wandering Base for research, so I believe results will come very soon."

Constant Star Lu Chen was not in a rush, patiently waiting.

Before long, good news came back.

The first message came from the Science and Martial Battle Star responsible for clearing the scene.

The personnel on the Science and Martial Battle Star found many floating objects nearby in space.

Initially, people thought these floating objects were debris or such, but when they got their hands on them, the individuals on the Science and Martial Battle Star realized that these floating objects were actually Celestial Body Capture Devices.

However, these Celestial Body Capture Devices were shaped and structured differently from those made by the Wandering Alliance, likely manufactured to accommodate the particular conditions of the Alien Civilization. After researching the Electromagnetic Civilization’s Celestial Body Capture Devices, scientists came to a few conclusions, namely that these capture devices could broadly be divided into two types: one identical in effect to those of the Wandering Alliance, mainly used for capturing or storing large celestial bodies; the second type breaks down the captured celestial bodies through unified force, completely converting them into energy form and storing it within the capture devices.

Based on these two types of Celestial Body Capture Devices, the Wandering Alliance finally understood why those aliens could block their Unified Energy Beams with just three people, why weren’t they afraid of the issue of not being able to survive long in the Universe?

It turned out that the terrifying energy that burst from those aliens beforehand was mostly supplied by these Celestial Body Capture Devices, and it was also due to this particular demand that the Electromagnetic Civilization had modified the capture devices into the second type, which directly converted celestial body matter into energy, making them readily usable anytime and anywhere. Possessing such a vast amount of energy, they naturally didn’t need to worry too much about survival issues in the Universe.

As for the old-style Celestial Body Capture Devices, their main function was to collect and store resources. Since the strategy of the Electromagnetic Civilization differed from that of the Wandering Alliance, it was determined that they wouldn’t be able to turn the plundered resources into planetary systems; not only because forming planetary systems would increase the energy consumption during their movement, but also because forming planetary systems would be too ostentatious, equivalent to announcing their wealth and attracting the coveting of others; also when trading with others, directly handing over a compact Celestial Body Capture Device is much more convenient than handing over a planet or star.

Therefore, Celestial Body Capture Devices were a very common tool within the Electromagnetic Civilization.

Especially after the Electromagnetic Civilization confirmed the privatized plunder strategy, various Celestial Body Capture Devices became the hottest merchandise within the civilization, even reaching a point where supply couldn’t meet demand.

Every Electromagnetic Star Person, or a power group when going out to plunder resources, would carry a large number of Celestial Body Capture Devices, or even build a Celestial Body Capture Device factory on their Planet Flying Device.

It was due to these factors that among the Celestial Body Capture Devices collected by the Science and Martial Battle Star, a large part was empty, a small part was half-finished, and only a third of the capture devices had captured celestial bodies.

The scientists speculated that these celestial bodies within one-third of the capture devices were the resources previously plundered by the Electromagnetic Civilization. The Electromagnetic Civilization had never expected that the Wandering Alliance would bypass many Electromagnetic Star People and directly attack their relatively safe rear-positioned Planet Flying Devices, which caused these originally stored capture devices on the Planet Battle Stars to be blown into space with the explosion. And the fifteen billion Electromagnetic Star People, being too busy fleeing for their lives, didn’t have the chance to care for these Celestial Body Capture Devices, ultimately falling into the hands of the Wandering Alliance cheaply.

And the Electromagnetic Civilization hadn’t expected that not only did they fail to plunder substantial resources from the Wandering Alliance, but instead some of the resources they had previously collected fell into the hands of the Wandering Alliance, resulting in a loss of both wife and soldiers!

While it was only one-third, after taking inventory, the Wandering Alliance discovered that this one-third of Celestial Body Capture Devices totaled over three thousand units; among them, ten captured stars, more than a thousand converted celestial bodies into energy, and about two thousand captured planets, becoming a very substantial treasure!

However, this gave rise to two questions.

The first was that the ten Planet Battle Stars of the Electromagnetic Civilization were shattered by the giant sword transformed from the Dark Gold Battle Star and experienced a small-scale explosion. Though the power of the explosion was not very strong, many steel and stone fragments were created, so why were these Celestial Body Capture Devices not badly damaged?

The second was that the Electromagnetic Star People were merely biological lives; how did they manage to utilize such enormous energy?
