How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 416: Arctic colonization

The freezing cold wind is howling, accompanied by a large amount of carbon dioxide and methane solidified snowflakes. This is the outermost planet of the star system. It is one-third the volume of the star. It is located in the Kuiper belt and is about forty away from the star. Astronomical unit, the stellar light needs several hours of distance before it can shine on this planet.

From the surface of this planet, the parent star in motion is not much different from the bright stars in the sky. Darkness and coldness are the themes here. The average surface temperature is constant at minus two hundred degrees, which is a real meaning. It’s a cold **** where steel can be shattered.

After the protoplanetary disk gave birth to a star in the center, the residues that could not fall into the star were left over a long period of time. Because of the combination of gravitational force, the density of the material in the inner ring was enough to form planets, and the outer ring However, due to the wide distribution, only a huge number of meteorite groups-the Kuiper belt can be formed.

Therefore, it is very rare for a planet to appear in such a remote orbit. It may be a wandering planet captured by a star, or the density of local meteorites in the Kuiper belt was enough to form a planet. Over time, the gravity of this planet will absorb Kuiper belt meteorites as its own mass, thereby weakening the **** from the star. Every year, the distance between it and the star will increase by one centimeter. In the foreseeable future, It will get rid of this star system and become a wandering planet.

Now this future has changed. It has an owner. A group of distantly-scaled organic creatures spanning dozens of astronomical units from the direction of the star occupy this unmanned planet.

Due to the ultra-low temperature on the planet's surface, their initial landing failed. A large number of organic seeds fell on the surface, and within a few seconds, they were frozen by the extreme cold and entered eternal silence. Since falling from the height of the universe, the seeds will be quickly frozen by the ultra-low temperature of more than 200 degrees below zero during this period, and they will be smashed on the surface in a free fall state, and there is no possibility of surviving.

However, if only this could not stop their race's footsteps, the seeds sent back environmental information in the form of radio at the last moments before their deaths. The kind closest to the outermost planet quickly learned of the situation and dispatched one. The mothership biota carries a large amount of nuclear concentrate to the outermost planet.

They are rude in their way.

These mothership creatures land directly on the planet in free fall. The huge volume carries terrifying momentum and knocks the ground out of a huge crater with a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers. These mothership creatures completely put their lives and deaths out of control, using their own corpses. Pave the way to conquer the planet for the same kind.

While the temperature has not yet dissipated, a large number of collectors rely on the bionuclear reactor to excavate the stratum under the mothership's biological corpse, establish underground space, and transfer a large amount of materials underground. The ultra-low temperature on the earth's surface will soon recover, and the light of stars is too weak. This scale is almost equivalent to starlight. How much energy can be obtained by starlight? Photosynthesis loses its effectiveness in this situation.

Before the surface temperature recovers, the collectors have completed the transfer of materials, established planetary bases under the surface, and started construction work around the bases.

They are not unfamiliar with low-temperature environments, even if the environment here is lower than the original surface environment, but only the difference in temperature, the essence is still the same. If you want to expand and colonize in this environment, you need a heat source. Then, based on the heat source, a large number of heat sources are deployed from one to many. When such a heat source is deployed on a complete planet, the colonization of that planet is also declared complete.

Under the ground, the collectors assumed rhizomes and laid a large amount of light, loose, porous organic fiber materials on the outer wall, thereby establishing a thermal insulation layer to retain heat as much as possible and block low temperatures as much as possible.

Then it is based on this to obtain the material of this planet, process and utilize it, and then import the production sequence to make the snowball bigger and bigger.

The radio communication creature was conceived. It has a long, long metal antenna that extends from the ground to the surface. It stands tall in the harsh cold wind and communicates with the collector bases in the caverns in the ground. In this way, the collectors Our underground colonization will be much smoother.

For strongholds close to each other, the collectors will first expand in the direction of the same clan’s strongholds, merge with each other and then continue to expand towards the farther same clan’s strongholds. In this way, a global underground cloth network can be quickly completed. What is done is to make this net denser and occupy the underground that has not yet been excavated.

After completing the global subterranean occupation, these collectors will not stop there, because this can only be regarded as the preliminary completion of their colonization operations. The occupied area is only a certain distance from the surface of the earth that envelops the entire planet. This cannot be done. To Fen's control utilizes the resources everywhere on the planet.

Therefore, after laying a complete spherical ground, a large number of rhizomes began to fall vertically, invading and expanding toward the inner core of the planet to occupy more resource areas.

The core of the planet has been completely cooled over the long years. What remains in the core is a pile of extremely dense and massive solid iron. Such an environment also allows collectors to make changes to their own expansion plans in accordance with local conditions.

The rhizome will extend all the way down to the underground stronghold on the other side of the planet. Without the terrifying high temperature of the earth's core, the collectors can arbitrarily cover the planet with a network of rhizomes extending in all directions, and then rely on the rhizome. ~lightnovelpub.net~ A large number of captured molecular substances are transported to the honeycomb for processing, thereby obtaining a large amount of usable materials.

Of course, although there is no terrible high temperature, the ultra-low temperature still exists. This creates a lot of obstacles for the rhizomes. Every time the rhizomes go deep, a reactor stronghold must be established to obtain heat, otherwise they will be frozen. Because of this, the expansion of rhizomes is many times at night than normal expansion.

In order to obtain more and sufficient heat, it is obviously not enough to use fission reactors alone. Collectors have begun to imitate the fusion reactors of the Serines and bring more heat to the planet.

They hollowed out the edge layer of solid iron to create a shaft, injected a large amount of liquid water into the shaft, and finally put a hydrogen bomb in the liquid water to carry out a nuclear explosion until the entire water body was heated to one hundred degrees or more.

Collectors will regularly measure the temperature of each vertical well. When the water temperature of a vertical well is lower than 60 degrees, they will put the hydrogen bomb again to raise the temperature.

The solid core and high-density stratum can withstand the vibration of a nuclear explosion. The natural gravity generated by the huge mass does not require collectors to create artificial gravity.

With the aid of the fusion reactor, the collectors expanded faster, and it didn’t take long to complete the task assigned to them by the Supreme Will. The entire planet was used for hidden and unmodified surface environments, from underground to underground. The distance between the core of the earth is densely covered with rhizomes, and the temperature is constant at zero.

After this, they fell silent and were hidden as the trump card of the race, until a certain point in time, a piece of information from the race made them regain their former activity.

"Do you understand the plan?"

"Understood." "Then start gestating and spreading the signal body."

"understand."
