Flying out of the Solar System.
Lu Chen continues to crazily absorb the interstellar material along the way.
Whether it's teorites, dust, gases, ice, or elental particles, he accepted them all without exception.
His size also gradually increased during the long wandering journey, from 10,000 ters to 20,000 ters, 30,000 ters...
Whenever he found his size too inflated, he would control the gravity to retract into the Star Stone and proceed with the Gravity Incrent. Under the pressure of multiplied gravity, his inflated size compressed, becoming more solid and significantly improving his impact resistance.
In this continuous process of compression and absorption, his body beca increasingly robust and hard, with his diater growing to 100,000 ters, and the influence range of his own gravity reaching as high as 200,000 ters. The quantity of Consciousness Particles had increased by five tis from the beginning!
And, once his size broke through the 100,000 ters mark, Lu Chen found that his body had undergone so changes again.
In terms of body structure, a three-layer structure of the crust, mantle, and Earth's Core was gradually forming, which is a further sign of planetization.
However.
The current Lu Chen could not yet be called a Planet.
He was rely transitioning from a Star Stone to a small asteroid.
Because the temperature of his Earth's Core was only around 1000 degrees, and the mass was only 0.5 tis that of a Planet, these did not et the standards of a Planet.
Most importantly, for celestial bodies larger than planets, there's an important requirent to achieve hydrostatic equilibrium, which is the balance between the pressure produced by Planet Gravity and the opposite pressure gradient ford by the pressure gradient.
In simple terms, it ans that pressure gradient and pressure intensity gradient form a delicate balance!
Besides the changes in his body, entering the asteroid phase also enhanced the asteroid magnetic field, which could now convert all ray particles into Consciousness Particles!
This was indeed great news.
From now on, the growth of Lu Chen's consciousness would definitely accelerate even more!
"Ha ha, Wandering, your big brother has upgraded again, I am now an asteroid! Please call Asteroid Lu Chen!"
Lu Chen couldn't help but share the good news with Wandering, it's just a pity that Wandering still couldn't understand, inevitably making it a bit regrettable.
However, although Wandering couldn't grasp the aning from Lu Chen, it still made so changes.
Originally, Lu Chen had to continuously guide with gravity for Wandering to follow him.
However, after a long ti, even without Lu Chen's guidance, Wandering would still silently follow the leading asteroid.
The mindless Wandering seed to have gradually understood that following the leading asteroid could avoid many dangers, and when it runs out of power, the other would even help recharge it.
This represents a kind of recognition between objects without any ntal involvent.
Lu Chen felt very reassured about this.
It seems that after entering the mysterious universe, even the machine-like Wandering had undergone so incredible changes!
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
At this mont, a cluster of asteroids appeared in the distant horizon.
The range of the asteroid cluster was extrely vast, spanning over 500,000 ters, its sight blocking the sun and truly resembling an asteroid catastrophe.
Moreover, the speed of the asteroid cluster was extrely fast. Initially, it appeared very distant, but in no ti, it had already flown close. This speed definitely exceeded the third cosmic velocity, and the accumulated potential energy was terribly formidable!
Lu Chen wanted to avoid this large cluster of asteroids, but it was not possible anymore, so he had to brace himself and charge through it.
Bam bam bam...
In an instant, an endless rain of asteroids fell batch by batch onto the asteroid, creating densely packed asteroid craters, with debris sky-rocketing and dust filling the sky.
Under the relentless onslaught of the asteroid rain, even Lu Chen's flying speed was reduced by half.
However, fortunately now that he was an asteroid, his size, density, and hardness had all beco stronger, and he was not damaged in his joints or bones by these not-so-large asteroids!
Although Lu Chen was unhard, the Wandering behind him fell into danger.
Whoosh!
In such dense teor showers, there would always be one or two teors headed towards the Wandering.
Every ti this happened, Lu Chen frantically enhanced the gravity to bind the teor, forcing it to drift in a wide curve and crash on the asteroid.
Of course, so teors had too much kinetic energy and broke free from the gravity's restraint.
At that point, Lu Chen could only control gravity to help the Wandering change position, narrowly avoiding a collision.
In this way, like a competent elder brother, Lu Chen protected the Wandering while bracing against the impacts of the teor shower as they moved forward.
The Wandering, on the other hand, seed to have no sense of danger, found the teor swarm interesting, and carelessly snapped a few more photos to send back.
The teor shower lasted for a very long ti.
Lu Chen felt that it was at least over a month before the teor shower gradually decreased.
Just as he thought the teor shower was about to end, a gigantic teor of more than 10,000 ters ahead made his heart skip a beat!
This teor was one-tenth the size of Lu Chen, its speed even surpassing the third cosmic velocity. If it really hit him, it would certainly smash him into pieces - no joke!
The giant teors in the universe also originated this way, launched by supernova explosions, which after a long journey, smash smaller asteroids or planets, creating more giant teors. These teors, with their initial kinetic energy, continue to disperse into the universe, shattering more planets, forming even more teors.
If Lu Chen couldn't resolve the current crisis, that would be his fate.
"Wandering, whether or not we can continue to roam depends on this very mont!"
At this mont, it was too late for Lu Chen to evade; he could only think of a way to slow down the teor's flight speed or reduce the size of the teor, thus lessening the impact force.
Unfortunately, as a small asteroid, Lu Chen had no ans of remote attack.
However, at that mont, he saw the flas spewing from the Wandering's thrusters and was greatly inspired!
Yes!
Although he was a sphere, he was not entirely devoid of remote attack thods!
On Earth, there are many volcanic eruptions, which are clearly a thod of ejecting high-temperature molten magma from the Earth's Core.
Only because of gravity, the magma eventually falls back to Earth. If there were no gravity restraint, wouldn't the magma be able to blast into space, rapidly solidifying in the cold environnt to beco a solid rock weapon?
With this thought, Lu Chen imdiately began to boldly experint.
He controlled the high-temperature molten magma within the Earth's Core to surge towards the surface, lting the rocky layers along the way, and finally, ford a massive volcano with a diater of a hundred ters on the surface of the asteroid!
He aid the volcano at the giant teor ahead, then madly surged the Earth's Core molten magma, causing waves of geological movent. These waves quickly transmitted from the Earth's core to the surface, accumulating terrifying kinetic energy, which caused an asteroid earthquake and ejected countless molten magma out of the volcano!
Boom!
A loud explosion, a bright light pierced the darkness, fiery red magma soared into the sky, followed by billowing white smoke!
Lu Chen had already eliminated the gravity in that direction, allowing the fiery red magma to shoot straight into space!
Sizzling!
The red magma swiftly absorbed the low-temperature interstellar material, emitting puffs of black smoke, and soon the red magma turned into black Rock Iron. From afar, it looked like a giant ancient spear of a hundred ters in the cosmos, carrying a montum that split heaven and earth, fiercely stabbing into the giant teor!
"Great, it really worked!"
Although this spear did not shatter the giant teor, it at least slowed down its speed.
Encouraged by this, Lu Chen repeated the process, transforming the magma into giant spears, stabbing them one after another into the teor.
Finally, on the seventh spear, the 10,000-ter teor was finally shattered into three pieces, and its speed also slowed to the first cosmic velocity. Lu Chen imdiately controlled gravity to absorb and incorporated all three fragnts into his body!
However, the elated Lu Chen did not notice that behind him, at a distance of 0.5 astronomical units, a kiloter-long giant ship was quickly catching up!
