Chapter 1702: Chapter 668: Stellar Traction_3

This is a measure to prevent the massive fleet from excessively disturbing the gravitational field environment within the planetary system, thereby triggering gravitational disasters.

But nowadays, there are no more residents in the Source Star System, not even planets, so disasters are irrelevant, and Ren Zhong is going against the norm.

Sun Ai placed hundreds of thousands of heavy transport ships into the same fleet formation, making them form a bowl-shaped array, and then slowly approached the Source Sun.

As time passed, the distance between the bowl-shaped fleet formation and the Source Sun continued to shrink.

When the distance between the two was reduced to the average length of the previous Source Mercury’s orbital path, the Source Sun began to gradually accelerate due to the unnatural gravitational pull, and this acceleration became visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, the ships in the bowl-shaped formation were also affected by the gravity of the Source Sun.

Since these ships were keeping relatively static in space, unlike normal planets which perform orbital movements and lack the support of centrifugal force, these ships had already synchronized the activation of retrogressive medium engines, slowly advancing towards the location of the Stationary Subspace.

As time continued to pass, under Sun Ai’s precise control, the distance between the bowl-shaped formation and the Source Sun slowly shrank until it reached thirty million kilometers, much smaller than the minimum radius of the former Source Mercury’s orbital path.

Yet with the continuous injection of medium engines, the heavy transport ships were not truly captured by the gravity of the Source Sun but steadily pushed towards the Stationary Subspace.

Thereafter, the speed of the Source Sun increased rapidly, but the distance from the fleet remained relatively constant.

Behind the viewing windows of the crew cabin of the Starry Sky Red Peak Armor, it was densely crowded with people.

At this time, Ren Zhong’s vehicle, named Red Peak Armor but actually a giant ship, was on the flank, approximately four billion kilometers from the three-dimensional coordinates of the Stationary Subspace.

Although light from the Sun took several hours to shine over, the crew could still clearly observe the changes in the Source Sun.

This star, which once illuminated an entire star system and supposedly nurtured ancient human beings in ancient legends, was unbelievably dragged into a super-sized comet.

The speeding Source Sun was dissipating matter along its path.

This matter formed a huge comet tail, colorful and like meteors.

At the front of the Source Sun, there appeared a hat-like structure, which was precisely the transport fleet assembly.

Apart from Ren Zhong, no one knew what would happen next, nor did anyone dare to speculate what Ren Zhong really intended.

In the long history of the Mechanical Empire, although it has long been possible, no one has ever attempted such a moving of a star.

Because it is meaningless.

Even when facing gravitational disasters or a supernova explosion at the end of a star’s life cycle, relocating a whole clan costs far less than moving a star.

Just moving the Source Sun a short distance would already consume energy sufficient to satisfy the civilian energy demand of the Nanxiang Star Cluster for decades.

"This is simply to squander resources!"

A young person in the crew cabin reluctantly exclaimed.

This young man was the commander of one of the transport fleet.

He came from a currently prestigious family in the Nanxiang Star Cluster, which had the momentum to replace the Liu Family and the Red Peak Clan to become the new power of the Nanxiang Star Cluster.

He had more than five hundred heavy transport ships under his command. He received a secret mission from Bourbon Louis, originally believing this to be a great opportunity to achieve success; who would have thought he’d end up as a lone commander without even a chance to resist.

Of course, he was not reconciled.

"Shh, keep it down. That person is the Red Peak Marquis, although he disappeared two thousand years ago, he was the one who pulled down the Liu Family of Nanxiang Marquis, his kin achieved remarkable feats in the Three Domains War, and he himself is a legitimate Chosen One of the Empire. This giant ship is his personal weapon. I can bet with you, just this one warship can wipe out all the fleets in the Nanxiang Star Cluster, do you understand?"

The young commander immediately fell silent, exclaiming inwardly.

But nearby, another person put down his mini telescope, frowning and said, "Something’s not right."

Curious, the young commander asked, "What’s wrong?"

This person first introduced himself, "I am Wu Yong, a senior engineer at the High Energy Physics Research Institute of the Royal Academy of Sciences Far Border Branch. I can confirm that the medium engines of our giant transport ships have been infused with unconventional propulsion medium. This...this is very dangerous."

"What do you mean?"

The others also became anxious.

"Judging from the color of the transport ships’ exhaust trail, it can be determined that it is not the commonly used heavy nuclear metal atoms serving as the medium, but nuclear fusion materials with a lower atomic mass! That’s why the transport ships’ tail flame is so robust, and the medium engines are clearly in overload operation. Soon, these engines will malfunction and shut down due to sustained overload. With the distance from the Source Sun being so close, once losing the support of retrogressive power under the influence of the stellar gravitational field and unable to use the gravity engines, these heavy transport ships will fall into the Source Sun. This is a tremendously large source of energy! It will explode! The Source Sun will explode!
