256: Chapter 256 Strong Magnetic Field

A massive explosion of technology.

It allowed humanity to face various challenges with greater composure.

By this time, the universe had become a resource bank for humanity to take from as they pleased.

The long passage of time, however, made Gao Yuan feel an immense sense of loneliness; he currently had no goals at all.

Even if humanity encountered a crisis, it would be better than this rapid, orderly development—at least it would keep Gao Yuan busy.

On the surface, Gao Yuan appeared the same as the young new generation.

But he could no longer understand the thoughts of those new generations.

Gao Yuan felt that it was probably time for him to step down.

He had held the reins of human political power for too long.

So long that everyone took it for granted that he was a natural-born leader.

But Gao Yuan wanted more to return to that old courtyard from his childhood.

He was indeed old.

It wasn't the aging of the body, but the aging of the heart.

Sitting on the Ideal Star, Gao Yuan looked up at the starry sky; the stars here were much more beautiful than those seen from Earth.

Gao Yuan knew perfectly well that those stars in the sky were all suns...

But he couldn't help but wonder: which stars had those people who left his side become?

Gao Qiu was calculating and cunning; he definitely wouldn't be the brightest one, as he would want to hide himself, but he certainly wouldn't be one of those dim stars either, because he couldn't stay hidden...

Which star was Zhang Baiyi? He was so high-profile; if he had a choice, he would naturally prefer the brightest one...

As Gao Yuan watched...

The sky suddenly changed.

The stars became illusory.

Large areas of purple light leaped continuously.

Blue light surged wave after wave like the ocean.

At that moment, the ground began to tremble incessantly, and the Ideal Star seemed to be swaying from side to side!

Gao Yuan wasn't worried about the buildings collapsing; these structures were integrated with the Ideal Star! The materials were also high-strength compressed alloys!

Unless they directly encountered a stellar storm, a collapse was impossible!

Gao Yuan stood up abruptly.

“What's going on?”

He knew this was absolutely abnormal; any unusual sight in the universe could mean total annihilation!

Gao Yuan’s spirit was instantly revitalized.

In this moment, he once again became the leader who had led humanity out of the Solar System.

“Marshal... we have entered an ultra-strong magnetic field! We haven't detected how large this field is yet!”

A magnetic field?

The secretary ran in, swaying from side to side, and braced himself against the door.

Gao Yuan was stunned.

How could this be? Wasn't he inside the Spiral Arm?

“Is it just ahead, or is it all around us!”

“Ahead... but the range is at least on the scale of light-years!”

The assistant said cautiously.

A magnetic field several light-years wide? Or maybe dozens, hundreds of light-years...

Such a vast area of strong magnetic force...

How could it appear here?

Could it be...

Gao Yuan had a bold guess.

Such a scene was highly unlikely to occur within the Spiral Arm.

Gao Yuan remembered that when he entered the Spiral Arm, he had been blocked by the Spiral Arm Membrane.

So if he wanted to enter the Galactic Center, it was probably normal to encounter resistance!

The ultra-strong magnetic field on the periphery of the Galactic Center?

Gao Yuan felt a surge of joy in his heart; were they about to enter the Galactic Center?

The Galactic Center that the Polaris Civilization had yearned for!

Now, humanity was about to enter.

Gao Yuan looked excited.

“Quick... go find Gao Gan and bring him here!”

Gao Gan entered with a face full of worry.

“Gao Yuan...”

“Gao Gan, we might be about to enter the Galactic Center!”

“The Galactic Center? You mean the magnetic field we've encountered is the periphery of the Galactic Center?”

Gao Yuan looked into Gao Gan's eyes: “Do you think it's impossible?”

“It's actually quite possible, but how do we traverse this magnetic field... The speed of the Ideal Star is currently dropping, and it has already fallen back to the speed of light! Moreover, aircraft cannot take off; the strong magnetic field will interfere with their systems! We can't even confirm our coordinates or direction right now!”

Gao Yuan paced back and forth.

“We've come all this way; what danger haven't we faced? When we encounter danger, we just find a way through! I have an idea. Since this is a magnetic field, there must be magnetic field lines. We can detect the trajectory of gao-ons to judge the direction of the field lines! We'll build large metal coils around the exterior of the Ideal Star; we'll treat this place as a giant generator!”

Gao Gan’s eyes lit up.

“The tangent direction of the magnetic field lines is the direction we need to move in; that way we can traverse the magnetic field in the shortest distance! Building metal coils around the Ideal Star will turn it into a giant generator. Once the energy is converted into electricity, the Ideal Star can fly smoothly...”

“Exactly...”

Gao Yuan nodded.

Gao Gan pondered.

“I think it's worth a try!”

“Then let's begin!”

The humans on the Ideal Star had already fallen into a state of panic.

The tremors were continuous...

There was simply no way to do anything else.

Gao Yuan had to quickly solve the vibration problem to speed up the construction.

So he ordered all warships to take off, but not to leave the Ideal Star; these ships couldn't perform long-distance voyages, but just flying in the orbit of the Ideal Star was still possible.

After a large number of warships took off, they began to rotate along the orbit of the Ideal Star.

Gao Yuan added a connection device.

Connecting these warships head to tail...

The black sphere material on the exterior of the warships automatically peeled away.

And so... these warships became the first coil around the Ideal Star. Once the coil was connected, the tremors of the Ideal Star weakened significantly...

This gave Gao Yuan a bit more confidence.

They began to build a large number of metal lines... this kind of work required very little technical skill.

The only difficult part was sending them into the orbit of the Ideal Star.

A large amount of metal was extracted from inside the Ideal Star, deformed into metal strips, and sent into orbit.

Then they were connected...

A second line, a third line...

More and more coils took shape in the orbit of the Ideal Star, and the planet gradually returned to a state of calm!

The Planetary Engines had regained control.

At this time, Gao Gan was leading the Academy of Sciences in near-planet space to study the direction of the magnetic field lines.

According to the Grand Unified Theory, the essence of any force is actually the movement and collision of gao-ons! As long as the trajectory of the gao-ons is detected, the direction of the magnetic field can be accurately found...

Gao Gan and his team monitored the magnetic field lines in real-time from near-planet orbit, and the command center adjusted the direction of the Ideal Star based on Gao Gan's prompts!

The magnetic field here was volatile, which was what had caused the oscillations.

As the Ideal Star flew forward steadily...

Gao Yuan actually saw a massive Star-Eating Beast not far ahead, but it had already been trapped by the powerful magnetic field...

The massive amount of electricity accumulated by the Ideal Star had nowhere to go, so a giant laser emitter was erected on the planet...

This electricity had to be consumed; otherwise, if it entered the interior of the Ideal Star, it would cause the temperature to rise sharply.

Since a Star-Eating Beast had appeared, the laser emitter was aimed at it...

A dazzling white light flashed.

To the people on the Ideal Star, it looked as if someone had taken a sun and kneaded it into a strip.

The glare made people's eyes dizzy.

The massive laser beam flew toward the Star-Eating Beast.

Pfft...

Gao Yuan seemed to hear the sound of the Star-Eating Beast being hit!
