#942 - Chapter 942 Heading to the Black Death Star
"Alright, where's the entrance?" Dongfang Chen Er asked.
"It's on Sirius. I'll send you the location," Guiguzi replied.
"Didn't you say he created over two thousand entrances in multiple star systems?" Dongfang Chen Er frowned.
Sirius was a hornet's nest; he didn't want to poke it unless absolutely necessary.
"Only one is currently usable," Guiguzi answered.
"..." Dongfang Chen Er was speechless.
He suspected Guiguzi was doing this on purpose, intending for him to deal with those bugs along the way.
"Do you think I have ulterior motives? Actually, you'll understand if you think about it from a different perspective. Since Long San had the ability to create more entrances, why would he leave so many behind?" Guiguzi explained.
He meant that since Long San had the ability to create entrances, there was no need to leave them behind. Because the more entrances there were, the greater the chance of being invaded by the outside world.
It was the same principle as having more doors in your house, which lowered the safety factor.
"Okay, what you said makes some sense," Dongfang Chen Er couldn't think of a reason to refute.
"The intelligent Long San has been developing in the small world for nearly a billion years. His strength must be very powerful. Whether you can defeat him depends on you," Guiguzi said with a smile.
"I'll do my best," Dongfang Chen Er said.
"Also, don't deal with that silicon-based octopus for now; it's still useful."
"Understood."
After Guiguzi left, Dongfang Chen Er instructed:
"Nata, have you figured it out yet? Why do arthropods counter Transformers?"
"Dad, not yet. Mainly because the laboratory can't replicate the battle scenario, which is causing some obstacles for the research," Nata explained.
"How about this, make arrangements to bring Luo Jie along, and we'll go to Black Death Star," Dongfang Chen Er said.
"You shouldn't go, right? We can go," Nata said.
Their bodies were just shells; they could be recreated after death. But Dongfang Chen Er's body was a one-time thing; if he died, he'd really be dead.
"What's there to be afraid of? With you here, can't you guarantee my safety?" Dongfang Chen Er retorted.
"Of course, there's no problem," Nata assured.
At worst, if there was any danger, they could first bring Dongfang Chen Er into the small world.
"Then that's settled, right? Make arrangements quickly."
"Dongfang Chen Er, have you thought it through? Guiguzi is cunning and treacherous; it's easy to get tricked when cooperating with him," Mengka reminded.
"No need to think about it. Since we have no choice, let's just walk the path ahead," Dongfang Chen Er said.
"Alright," Mengka no longer insisted.
Blue Star Calendar, September 28, 2099.
Nata had everything prepared. He activated a small wormhole and controlled the warship to fly towards Black Death Star.
Black Death Star was the neighboring star of Red Cloud Star, which was Sirius. The Queen Bee had built an extremely large underground base there.
To prevent being observed by the bugs on Sirius, Nata deliberately entered from the outer perimeter of the Sirius system and slowly approached Black Death Star under the cover of a distant orbiting planet.
Moreover, the landing point was also set on the far side of Black Death Star, where Sirius could not observe.
Due to the severe detour, it took them two days to reach the underground base of Black Death Star.
As soon as they entered the base, Dongfang Chen Er and his group immediately came to the command hall.
"Nata, what's the surface temperature of Black Death Star?" Dongfang Chen Er asked.
"The lowest temperature on the dark side is around -140 degrees Celsius, and the highest temperature on the sunny side is 210 degrees Celsius," Nata replied.
The sunny side he was referring to was the side facing the star, which could be understood as daytime. The dark side was the side facing away from the star, which could be understood as nighttime.
"What's the name of this planet?" Dongfang Chen Er asked, pointing to the planet adjacent to the inner side of Sirius.
"I named it Heat Death Star," Nata replied.
"..." Dongfang Chen Er shook his head with a wry smile.
Nata, this naming idiot, just couldn't come up with a good name.
"Then what's the temperature of this Heat Death Star?"
"Heat Death Star has a dense atmosphere and a relatively high temperature. The highest temperature during the day is around 480 degrees Celsius, and the lowest temperature at night is around 270 degrees Celsius," Nata replied.
"Very good, then let's make it here. Let Luo Jie quietly go to Heat Death Star and build a Transformer army as soon as possible," Dongfang Chen Er ordered.
This temperature was perfect for Transformers.
As long as metal was unlimited, Luo Jie would definitely occupy the entire planet very quickly.
"Yes!" Nata obeyed.
After receiving the order, Luo Jie immediately set off to fly to Heat Death Star.
However, just like when he came, if he wanted to go to Heat Death Star, he had to bypass Sirius.
How to bypass it?
He had to take off from the back of Black Death Star and then fly in the opposite direction. Then, he would detour to the back of the star and land on Heat Death Star from there.
Fortunately, the current orbital position of Heat Death Star was just blocked by the central star. This saved Dongfang Chen Er a lot of time.
Four hours later, Transformer Luo Jie successfully landed on Heat Death Star.
