Chapter 10 Companion Binary Stars?
Buzz!
Wandering was suddenly captured by a gravitational force while flying, its body trembled involuntarily as it was pulled towards the source of the gravity.
It immediately activated its engines in resistance, but to no avail. Instead, as the distance decreased, the gravitational binding became stronger, and its falling speed increased even more rapidly.
In just a moment, it was pulled within a hundred thousand meters of Small Constant Star, a wave of intense heat and high temperatures hit it. Even though it had a metallic body, it was somewhat unbearable, with a tendency to melt.
The temperature of a constant star is no joke; truly being sucked in would result in vaporization due to the high temperatures!
In this critical moment, Wandering ingeniously transformed its several hundred meters long body into metallic quicksand.
Since Universal Gravitation operates according to mass, when the mass of a celestial body is reduced, the gravitational interaction also weakens and can be negligible if sufficiently small. This allowed Wandering to escape the gravitational binding of the Small Constant Star by passing through its outer layer in a state of quicksand, avoiding being sucked into the Small Constant Star.
Numerous grains of metallic quicksand swiftly moved across the surface of the Small Constant Star, forming a golden sand curtain that enveloped the star before the grains of sand regrouped into a sphere behind it.
Boom!
The instant its body reformed, Wandering immediately activated its engines and sped away from the Small Constant Star.
The Small Constant Star watched the scene, rather surprised.
