How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 479: Preparation beforehand

   The third sub-light-speed voyage ended, and the sub-light-speed creatures arrived at another destination star. As a price for slowing down, their antimatter reserves had been depleted and there was not much left, but it was still sufficient to move below the speed of light.

At the third stop of their journey, this star system is a single star system, but it is a red dwarf. The light intensity is not high, and the number of planets is not many. There are only two of them, and they are both small in mass, which is equivalent to them. In the starting star system, satellites in gaseous giant orbits have three times the mass.

   Planets are formed by the accumulation of residual gas and debris when stars are born. The birth of a red dwarf star means that this star system has less material, so two planets are considered rich in resources.

   For the construction of this star system, a considerable part of the resources are transported from other star systems. At the beginning, they also organized several resource transportation for this star system.

   But this kind of colonization is worthwhile. This stellar system is also a research place for collectors to study how to obtain stellar material at close range.

   "Welcome everyone to come to this star system."

   "We need antimatter supplies for the next sub-light speed voyage."

   Chu directly expressed their needs to the compatriots in this star system, and the collectors in the star system answered.

   "Follow this route and enter the orbit."

According to the route given by the communication, these individuals and antimatter giants were built to dock at first. The sharp tentacles with single molecules at the beginning penetrated into the interior of the sub-light speed organism, and took out the container of depleted antimatter through the channel constructed by itself, and replaced the full bottle. The whole process of the antimatter container is so simple and crude.

   When the tentacles are drawn out, the propped up mouth will heal with the mucus on the outside of the tentacles, so there will be no wounds or even scars, as is the case with the outermost metal bones.

"After you assemble the proton lattice, our antimatter filling becomes very troublesome. You can only replace the antimatter by opening the gap between the two proton lattices. There is no battle. There is no need to adopt such a method. Biological design, right?"

The antimatter megastructures complained to them that if it were sub-light speed organisms in the past, the tentacles of the antimatter megastructures do not need to be located accurately. Pick a place to pierce them, and they can replace the antimatter, but now it can’t, because proton The density of the crystal lattice is smaller than the radius of the hydrogen atom. It is impossible for a single-molecule-headed tentacles to pierce this proton crystal lattice. The density is too high.

   "This is a standing strategic material, so that it can quickly form combat effectiveness in a timely manner during combat."

"The proton lattice, like antimatter, is a product that cannot be processed by cells. It needs a giant structure like yours to make it. If an enemy appears and the strength is comparable to ours, the battle is fierce, then we are likely to face protons. The supply of crystal lattices exceeds supply."

   "Will said that we must know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace, be born in sorrow and die in happiness. The same is true for you antimatter giants that constantly manufacture and store antimatter."

   The collectors who went with the first time gave an explanation. This is the collective thought of their collectors.

   "It turned out to be like this."

   "Then where is your next destination?"

   The antimatter giant continued to question, just like the collectors of other star systems.

   "A binary star system nine light years away."

   "There are obstacles on the route to there. You need to prepare. It will be very dangerous to pass in this state."

The antimatter giant reminds these people of the same race that the collectors stationed in the star system are not only responsible for the task of resource production and exploitation, but also the task of observation. There is a dangerous situation on the subluminal route as it is now. , It is necessary for them to explain, which is why they will ask Chu about their whereabouts every time they arrive in the star system.

Of course, even this cannot ensure 100% safety of the route. If it is a small-mass stray black hole that is difficult to observe, or a stray meteorite with a relatively small size and a sparse number, these are very difficult to find, subluminal creatures. The body can only ask for more blessings.

   "What obstacle is it?"

   became vigilant at first, obstacles in the sub-light speed state, even just a cloud of gas, are extremely dangerous.

   The antimatter giant responded with a more fortunate mood.

   "A large area of ​​high-temperature nebula in a plasma state is ejected from a 70,000 light-year supernova, but fortunately it is far enough away from us."

   Supernova explosion is a light-year-level cosmic disaster, which can directly kill a few light-years to a range of more than 20 light-years. The area directly affected by the supernova will become a dead zone.

   "How big is that nebula?" another collector asked.

   "In the interval of two to three light years, there is an error in the star measurement."

   The antimatter giant thought about it, but only gave a rough value. There is no way that the distance of light-year level is too far. Coupled with the gravitational interference of stars and the speed of light limitation, it is impossible to answer an accurate value.

   "It's not too big, we can go straight through in the sub-light speed state..."

"If you don’t understand, don’t talk nonsense, the nebula will make us fall at the speed of sublight, even if we have the ability to pass through the nebula, the accumulated high temperature may cook us collectively~ lightnovelpub.net~ heat dissipation in a vacuum environment is a big deal. problem."

   Before this collector could finish speaking, he was immediately refuted by other collectors in the same industry.

   "That's it."

  The rebutted collectors also realized after thinking that the antimatter shield in front of them would come into contact with the nebula, and this would cause the annihilation of the positive and negative matter, and then they would also slow down.

   After realizing this, the collectors were also afraid for a while.

At first, they began to obtain material from the same family in the star system for biological transformation, and added a batch of solid helium for cooling and cooling, and then a vacuum insulation layer design. Vacuum is an excellent temperature insulation layer. , The only way for heat transmission is heat radiation.

   "Speaking of which, why did the star 70,000 light-years away explode?"

   The collectors who were waiting for the completion of the transformation of the biological body issued such an inquiry, and this question also aroused the curiosity of the collectors.

   "It should be that the supergiant star reached the end of its lifespan, and then a supernova explosion occurred."

   "No, it is not necessarily. Perhaps a certain civilization used black hole bombs. As long as they can mass-produce antimatter, black hole bombs are capable of making them, or making black holes in other ways can also achieve man-made supernova explosions."

  The collectors were discussing with each other, but at first they wanted to get answers directly from the antimatter giant.

   "What are your observations?"

   "I don't know, when we started observing there, the remnants of the supernova had already existed, and the supernova occurred for at least 200,000 years."
