How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 424: New home (part 1)

You must be careful when approaching the star, not too close, too close to it will cause your own heat to be too high, then heat dissipation will be a very troublesome problem, it was not a mother ship creature at first, there are not so many reserve resources to squander, now it With only one kilogram of mass, the mass of the exoskeleton and the light sail is cut off, and the quality of resources it can control is even less.

At the same time, it must be maintained at a relatively high speed at the beginning. Too low speed will cause it to fall into the star. It has no propulsion organs, and it moves entirely by inertia. It is impossible to achieve impulse propulsion, and there is no fuel allowed. It does so, so it must be sufficiently vigilant at the beginning of the distance to the star.

The problem of star distance also makes another problem obvious. At first, there is no way to judge the distance between oneself and the star. From its perspective, one can see a huge light cluster standing at the end of the distance. It can only be judged by feeling. In the current state, this is a very dangerous thing. The best choice should be to use radar waves to determine the current distance between oneself and the star through the round-trip time of the radar waves.

Unfortunately, it couldn't do it at the beginning. At this time, it didn't have such a material basis, let alone make radar waves. The gravitational force of stars at different distances is also different. You cannot waste your current speed too much. Therefore, immediately after reaching the light conditions required to meet your life consumption, you will immediately turn the light sail, and it will deflect its own trajectory to orbit the star. Circular motion.

The initially hard cone exoskeleton slowly grows a layer of black fungus blanket, which can carry out photosynthesis and convert stellar light into organic chemical energy. The material is the metabolic waste of various cells in the initial body, which is reprocessed by light energy. , Thereby changing into nutrients that can be initially absorbed and utilized.

So far, the two ghost gates in the cross-star journey are all crossed at the beginning, and it is completely safe. "Let me see, where should I make my home."

"The development of ethnic groups must have a suitable and good place."

"It's best to have liquid water, even if it doesn't help ice."

Water is an essential resource, and development cannot be separated from the material basis. Everything is not made out of nothing. Water can be decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen. These two elements account for a large proportion of organic materials, at least the amino acids of carbon-based materials. This is the case. In addition, the collectors were born from the water, the environment there is more familiar at first, and the development will be faster.

It's like building a house. People always want to choose a place with good feng shui and good light to build. This is how they thought at the beginning. It is not necessary, but it is still necessary to spend some time looking for it. After entering the star system, it is not difficult to find these planets. The reason is simple, because there is a high-power signal emission source of the star, and the star emits high-power pulsed radiation at all times. After this radiation hits the planet, It will cause the temperature of the planet’s facing surface to rise. Using this feature, you do not need to use radar waves at the beginning. You only need to switch your viewing angle to the infrared spectrum, and you can clearly'see' where there are planets from the 3K background radiation of the universe. At the same time, the spectrum also feeds back the heat distribution, from which it can also be inferred whether the planet is a gaseous planet or a solid planet.

"This is a solid earth-like planet... that is a gaseous giant star... well..."

"How to choose? The gaseous planet environment is too bad, the initial development will be more difficult and dangerous, but this kind of planet generally has some satellites, if the environment is suitable, there is a liquid water environment, it will undoubtedly be the best The breeding grounds of ethnic groups have low gravity and rich resources, which can be used as a stable resource point."

"The problem is that the satellite is too small. If you don't observe it at close range, it is really difficult to judge whether the satellite orbiting the gas giant is suitable for ethnic development."

"Earth-like planets generally have water resources. The only difference is in the physical state. Lava planets are gaseous, habitable planets are liquid, and cold planets are solid. If it is not a habitable planet with liquid water, it is not. Conducive to the development of ethnic groups..."

"In the final analysis, I have too few starting resources. One kilogram of mass can't transform the planet's environment."

After thinking for a while, I decided to go to the gas giant to try my luck. If it doesn’t work, then go to other planets. It adjusts the angle of the light sail and accelerates with the aid of a gravitational slingshot. It is easy to get rid of the gravitational restraint of the star and throw it towards you. A certain planet in this star system.

The journey to the planets is still very far away, and it takes a lot of time. It is clear at first, even if it does not know the distance between these planets and it, according to common sense, they are at least 10 astronomical units away from the star, even light. There will be a significant delay in the distance.

During this period, there was plenty of time at the beginning, and it began to use genetic language to design a kind of organism for exploring the planet, or a kind of biological community~lightnovelpub.net~, initially conceived a kind of carapace, composed of titanium bones, The sphere is between one and three centimeters in diameter. At the center of the sphere is an extremely tiny brain. At the same time, it is also a radio communication gate, which can release weak radio signals. Because the band frequency is very low, it does not need to be too high. Energy can spread far, and the effective communication distance can reach about 20 kilometers without external electromagnetic interference.

Inside this titanium skeletal sphere, in addition to the central brain, it also hosts another organism, which is also a multicellular organism, but they are small, only about 3% of the earth's fleas, and rely on macromolecular cilia to move. , They have a pair of very tiny pliers that can drag the substance.

After the design is completed, these designs are expressed in genetic language to obtain two genetic blueprints, and then the cells in the body are genetically modified according to the information of the genetic blueprints, and two biological embryos are obtained by consuming their own materials.

The membrane of the light sail is composed of fibrous tissue. Cells cannot be used because the cells cannot withstand the impact of subluminal hydrogen atoms, let alone used to slow down, but the light sail skeleton is indeed an extension of the first limbs, at the end of the light sail skeleton , Are slowly swelling up the fleshy pieces. Each piece of meat is filled with nutrients, giving the newly designed maternal environment suitable for the development of two biological embryos. These creatures are collectors and are also the death squads who are about to go to the planet to explore. .

After they have developed to a certain level, they start to use the life field channel to teach them what they need to do and some precautions after landing on the planet. Time has passed so slowly, losing the rapidity of sub-light speed. It takes a lot of time to travel across planets like this, which is quite normal, ranging from several months to several years.

Finally, Chu is about to arrive at the gas superstar.
