The universe is vast.
The Wandering Star System is speeding through space at three tis the speed of light.
On a microscopic level, Earth Civilization found a special device inside the captured spaceship.
This device is about half a ter long, with a handle on each end, connected to a set of precise and complex components in the middle, with a twenty-centiter hollow area.
At that mont, a yellow sphere is placed in the hollow area, controlled at the center by four delicate chanical arms. Despite minor fluctuations as the device moves, the sphere cannot escape, a design feature of buoyant drift, similar to a balloon tied to a string, able to float within the range of the string but unable to break free from its confines.
If the yellow sphere in the center is removed, this special device sowhat resembles the chest expanders humans use for fitness.
Now, the device has been transported to the Wandering Base and placed on a disassembly platform, surrounded by a large number of scientists from various fields.
These scientists are extrely curious about the device, trying to use their own field of knowledge to explain what it is, but after a long period of observation, none of the scientists have made much progress.
Even the most analysis-savvy artificial intelligence, after awakening, cannot decipher the specific function of the device.
Clearly, this device is beyond the technological scope of a Level 3 Civilization; its design and operational principles are completely different from those of a Level 3 Civilization, and without a user manual, it is naturally unexplainable with existing knowledge levels.
To clarify the function of the device,
scientists can only ask a few alien beings captured from the spaceship.
Using simple electromagnetic waves as a communication tool, the two sides were able to communicate across different species and languages.
Unfortunately, the communication did not go well. These aliens are obstinate, refusing to reveal what the device is, even threatening Earth Civilization not to touch the forbidden zone, as the consequences would be unbearable for Earth Civilization. They also advised Earth Civilization to release them, otherwise, the civilization behind them would surely seek revenge!
In light of the aliens’ statents, Earth Civilization, suspecting exaggerations, still sought Constant Star Lu Chen’s opinion for caution’s sake.
After brief contemplation, Constant Star Lu Chen reassured Earth Civilization not to worry; since the aliens refused to talk, they should use the mory Information Reader to directly extract the mory information of the aliens.
With Earth Civilization’s biological technology following the advent of the era of Eternal Life, extracting a person’s mory information is not a difficult task. However, forcibly extracting mory information can potentially cause unknown side effects or even direct death due to brain stimulation.
This was the reason why scientists had not previously resorted to using the mory Extractor.
Constant Star Lu Chen issued such an order after thorough consideration.
Firstly, they, the Wandering Alliance, will not be threatened by any civilization or individual, and these captive aliens dare to threaten them; they have basically been sentenced to death.
Secondly, during a prior encounter, the spaceship had launched an Energy Attack on the outermost neutron star of the Wandering Star System in an attempt to use the retreat of the Wandering Alliance, a point Constant Star Lu Chen cannot tolerate.
Thirdly, if these aliens truly had the backing of a powerful civilization, they would not need to sneak into the Star Zone to steal cosmic resources; after all, a strong civilization would have too many other ans at its disposal.
Later events also proved this point.
Scientists have extracted the mory information of alien creatures using the mory Extractor and found out that all ten aliens on the spaceship ca from the sa civilization, which had been annihilated in a war with other civilizations, leaving only these ten survivors as their seeds of continuation.
They then ford an independent gang wandering in the universe, surviving by seeking various benefits.
As for the special device that scientists had long wanted to know about, its secrets too have been unraveled from these aliens’ mories.
It turns out that the unassuming device, reminiscent of a chest expander, was a remarkably powerful Celestial Body Capture Device.
As the na implies, it is a kind of amazing device capable of capturing massive celestial bodies—truly not judging a book by its cover, the scientists never imagined such an ordinary-looking device possessing such incredible functionality.
No wonder they could never figure it out before; it turns out they were lacking in imagination.
However, the Celestial Body Capture Device was not manufactured by these alien beings.
With just the ten of them and the level of technology the civilization once possessed, they were incapable of producing devices with such technical content.
Because this device would involve the use of very advanced Space Technology applications and the sustained application of the Four Basic Forces, only with both of these technologies combined is it possible to capture a massive celestial body by compressing its spatial scale inside the Celestial Body Capture Device.
Therefore, the device could only likely be manufactured by a Level 4 Civilization.
And these alien beings had stolen this Celestial Body Capture Device from a Planet Flying Device that had been shot down in a major battle between two Level 4 Civilizations.
Previously, these aliens ventured into the Star Zone, where they found an Anti-Matter Planet and used the Celestial Body Capture Device to capture it.
Originally, these aliens planned to sell the Anti-Matter Planet to an Advanced Civilization in need, but they did not expect to be discovered and pursued by the Earth Core Civilization, and during the chase, they accidentally encountered the Wandering Star System, eventually being seized by the Wandering Alliance, ending up losing both their lives and their loot.
Upon realizing that the yellow sphere inside the Celestial Body Capture Device was actually an Anti-Matter Planet,
All the scientists were deeply shocked and worried, fearing that if the antimatter within the anti-planet reacted with matter, it could potentially destroy even Earth.
However, what reassured the scientists slightly was that the Celestial Body Capture Device contained spatial isolation technology, which kept the captured celestial bodies isolated from the outside without any physical contact.
Thus, the scientists and relevant robots at Wandering Base began non-stop research, aiming to unravel the specifics of the antimatter within the yellow sphere, as well as the formation and evolution of the anti-planet, and more importantly, to uncover the technological secrets behind manufacturing the Celestial Body Capture Device.
After all, the technology involved includes the applications of advanced Space Technology and the Four Basic Forces.
If they could decode and utilize this, it might accelerate the advancent of both Earth Civilization and Light Synthesis Civilization into a Level 4 Civilization.
However, what’s more regrettable is that the design of the Celestial Body Capture Device is extrely sophisticated, and with Earth Civilization’s current technology, they are still unable to decipher its secrets.
Moreover, there was a significant concern: if they carelessly damaged the structure of the Celestial Body Capture Device, and the anti-planet within escaped, Earth would be dood. This held the scientists back from being overly aggressive.
In the end, the scientists only managed to crack the DNA usage restrictions on the Celestial Body Capture Device and did not attempt to disassemble it.
However, the requirents for the Celestial Body Capture Device to capture celestial bodies are very high, and not all bodies can be captured. The easiest to capture, of course, are intention-less entities, non-resistant celestial bodies. Celestial Civilizations with Intentions are generally very difficult to capture, unless there is another force to help lure and suppress the Celestial Civilization, making it possible to capture them with the Celestial Body Capture Device.
Upon learning of the existence of the Celestial Body Capture Device, Constant Star Lu Chen realized it was a major asset against other celestial entities, but also a potential threat to himself. Thus, he strictly regulated the conditions of its use, which required his approval, and stored the Celestial Body Capture Device in a secure vault, establishing a trio of checks and balances and cooperative key sches among robots, Earth People, and Light Synthesis People.
