How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 460: Antimatter advancement (part 1)

  Hogu They colonized more than one star system.

   This is mainly because the initial sub-light speed navigation success rate was not high. In order to make up for the low probability, Hogu carried out sub-light travel of multiple star systems.

   It's not that they don't want to launch a large number of organisms into the same star system in order to increase the probability of success.

Only the light sail redirection link requires the feedback signal of the destination star to be completed. If multiple organisms are launched against a star system at one time, this leads to the need for feedback signals from multiple destination stars, and due to the launch position , Launch time, launch angle, scale reduction effect and many other reasons, it is easy to cause accidents such as confusion and overlap of redirection instructions.

This is similar to the fact that after the rocket is launched and taken off, the ground console sends instructions randomly. In this case, the rocket can smoothly enter space and enter orbit. It must be a lucky star. The astronaut on the rocket must have been practiced in the tenth century. Great kind people.

   For these reasons, Huogu adopts the strategy of colonizing multiple star systems. All single and dual star systems with planets within a radius of 25 light-years initiate subluminal colonization movement toward the starting star system.

And there are hundreds of such star systems within 25 light-years. The collectors have completed the colonization of that star system, and established antimatter giants and star orbits in that star system, and the antimatter has been successively established. Transported back to the starting star.

The stellar objects observed by the Empire on the background of the universe are not actually celestial bodies. They are subluminal organisms that use the annihilation of anti-hydrogen clusters to slow down, because the annihilation of the anti-hydrogen mass releases a huge amount of gamma rays. In addition, the subluminal organisms are also very close to the starting star system, which is the same as the stars in the background of the universe in the observations of the Celine.

   However, such ‘artificial stars’ will not last for a long time. After a period of time, the decelerating antimatter is consumed, and the speed of subluminal organisms also slows down, and the inexplicable ‘luminous celestial bodies’ in the background disappear.

   The final result of this vision is that the empire is scared enough.

   Compared to the skepticism on the Empire side, Huogu's side is worried about other things.

   Successive subluminal organisms have successfully traversed a distance of several light-years to more than ten light-years to return to this star system, and those over 20 light-years are still coming back one after another.

  Hogu, their antimatter resources have slowly accumulated from a few hundred tons at the beginning to hundreds of thousands of tons now.

   This is a good thing! What are the mere Serines? So much antimatter can be directly thrown into the star to form a black hole, artificially triggering a supernova explosion!

   But there is also a question before Huogu-how should these anti-matter resources be used?

Antimatter is too dangerous. When it comes into contact with positive matter, an annihilation reaction will occur immediately, releasing extremely high energy. But because of this, it is not easy to use. The key is the strong penetration of gamma rays to the organism. The pertinence is too strong, or the organism is too fragile. Under high-energy radiation, even if the cells do not die, the internal genes are easily destroyed under the impact of the radiation particle stream.

   The better thing is that some weird mutations have occurred, such as one more leg and one more head. If it's worse, it means that the gene can't be used.

  If it is the empire, it would be easier to solve it with simple dead tools, but Huogu, they are organic organisms and flesh and blood, which has a great impact on them.

If the demand cannot be met, we must find ways to change it-if we want to make use of the “wealth” transported back across the light-year scale by collectors of other star systems, they must make adjustments to rebuild organisms around antimatter. redesign.

   "Let me think about it first..."

   Huogu was considering the type of organism to be designed, and after thinking about it for a while, it decided to prioritize the design of attacking organisms.

   "Then let's start to make some corrections to the mothership organism."

   Hogu, who had thought about it, gave orders to all the collectors engaged in mental activities in the communication.

   [I also join! I also join! I want to join in such an interesting thing! 】

   "Okay, Min, you join too."

   Brainstorming, Min’s joining is of great help to Huogu, and Huogu naturally has no reason to refuse.

   In the criss-crossing network of thoughts, a thought-simulated antimatter cluster stands in it, and then a penning ion trap container lying horizontally is put on it.

   "The energy problem can be solved slowly later. We are now considering how to apply antimatter to the advancement, and give priority to solving the problem of speed."

   Huogu demanded this from Min and the collectors, and it naturally had its reasons for such a request. Whether it was offensive, defensive, or escape, the party with the speed advantage always had the higher initiative.

The most important thing is to escape. Antimatter gives Hogu a basic condition that they can reach sub-light speed without the help of star trails. Perhaps the escape seems very useless, but in the face of the survival of a civilization~lightnovelpub.net~ It is not important, as long as you can survive, everything is possible, there is still a chance, and if you die, you will lose a hundred.

  暝 and the collectors agreed, and began to try to'add' some external components to the antimatter to use the antimatter in the container.

In the beginning, the collectors conceived that one side of the container was to open. There was a spout inside the container. This spout would spray out a small amount of anti-hydrogen gas. After the annihilation of the positive and negative substances was triggered, the energy would be released from the notched side of the container. , Resulting in a strong thrust.

   "No, it won't work."

After observing this design, Huogu said that such antimatter propulsion is not ideal. The reason is simple. After a port is missing on one side of the container, the originally closed and uniform electric field structure is broken. It is good if it does not move. The body is moving at high speed in the universe, and strong magnetic force is difficult to block the anti-hydrogen cluster. The main reason is that the acceleration is too high and the inertial pressure is too strong. The anti-hydrogen cluster will be forced out from the opening, resulting in a large number of anti-hydrogen clusters. Of the loss.

   It won’t work to seal the gap again, so that the energy of the annihilation of positive and negative matter will not give rise to the organisms in the universe, because the energy is transferred to the lid that closes the gap.

   Because of this, the gap must exist in order to be able to release the energy.

   Then there is a problem, how should we design to solve such a problem?

   [In fact, this problem can be solved like this. 】

  暝 revealed his own ideas, but it was not a brand-new design structure, but was modified on the basis of the original designs of the collectors.
