Chapter 383 - 382: Three Million Six Hundred Thousand
Constant Star Lu Chen no longer allowed his mind to wander, focusing intently on increasing his Gravity Strength and accelerating the absorption rate of the surrounding accretion disk material.
After all, the radius of the Quasar reaches up to fifty light-years and the diameter up to a hundred light-years. Even though it lost some mass during the war, the loss was less than one percent. There was still a vast amount of material scattered in this part of Cosmic Space, and without accelerating the process, it would perhaps take over a decade to completely absorb.
However, even with the increased speed, it took Constant Star Lu Chen two years to completely absorb all the material at the site.
During the absorption process, Constant Star Lu Chen also enlisted the help of the Wandering Alliance’s Planet Battle Stars to separate the Hydrogen Element from other elements, which made it easier for him to absorb directly.
In the end, from the accretion disk material, Constant Star Lu Chen absorbed a total of more than two million Constant Star Masses worth of Hydrogen Element, while the remaining other elements amounted to over one and a half million Constant Star Masses, all of which were naturally injected into the Heliosphere, bringing its separate mass to over two million Constant Star Masses.
As for Constant Star Lu Chen himself, his mass reached 3.6 million Constant Star Masses, a rather intriguing number.
Now, the diameter of Constant Star Lu Chen’s form is a little over 150 million kilometers, which is roughly one astronomical unit. Moreover, as his mass and size have grown, the core region of Constant Star Lu Chen has also expanded. This expansion led to approximately a threefold increase in the Nuclear Fusion Rate in the core region, resulting in a constant stream of Constant Star Wind being emitted.
Besides, the core temperature of Constant Star Lu Chen rose to three billion degrees, and the temperature of the corona layer to one hundred and twenty million degrees. Although his mass has more than doubled, increasing temperature at higher levels is inherently more difficult, so the increase in temperature was not overly exaggerated. Nonetheless, even such temperatures are quite formidable in the Universe. To avoid melting or damage caused by the increasing heat, the Dark Gold Satellites surrounding the star were forced to move out by half an astronomical unit, and the Wandering Alliance’s middle Planet Battle Stars were forced to move out by one astronomical unit.
Moreover, as the absorption was selective, Constant Star Lu Chen did not absorb other elements, thus after two consecutive drops, the proportion of Hydrogen bounced back and increased. His current Hydrogen proportion reached 94%!
As for the most important factor, Gravity Strength, with the Constant Star Mass reaching 3.6 million, Constant Star Lu Chen’s Gravity Strength increased by approximately 1.3 times. Without using any technological means, it can naturally increase to twenty-five million!
