Chapter 128: Distress Signal
After fully absorbing Constant Star Gold, Lu Chen’s Constant Star Mass reached 910.
Originally, according to the sum of Lu Chen’s 505 and Constant Star Gold’s 500, the Constant Star Mass should have been 1005.
However, since Constant Star Gold had been in existence for quite a while, nuclear fusion within the Constant Star Body had already produced some Iron Elements and other elements.
These elements in total added up to more than a hundred Constant Star Mass, and of course, Lu Chen would not absorb them to disrupt his proportion of Hydrogen.
When he previously absorbed Constant Star Silver, although there were other elements within Constant Star Silver Body, their mass was not significant and did not greatly affect, Lu Chen chose to absorb them altogether to save time.
However, this time, the mass of the other elements within Constant Star Gold was as high as over a hundred Constant Star Masses, which would have a significant impact on any star, and from a cost-benefit perspective, it was seriously not worth it.
Considering this, Lu Chen decided to selectively absorb Hydrogen.
Although this would take a bit more time, fortunately, the direction in which Constant Star Gold was escaping was right towards the edge of the Galaxy Nebula, close to their original escape route, so Lu Chen could absorb while on the move without delaying the process of escape, which was also one of the reasons he was willing to take more time.
Now, Constant Star Lu Chen’s Hydrogen percentage had certainly increased again, reaching around ninety-seven percent.
And with the crazy increase in Constant Star Mass, Lu Chen’s diameter grew to five million kilometers. To counteract the pressure of the increased mass, the Nuclear Fusion Zone at the core further expanded a bit, and the rate of nuclear fusion reactions was slightly enhanced.
