Objects smaller than the previous camouflaged meteorites are launched from the cluster, pointing directly to the gaseous planet in the outermost star system where the Xians are located.

Halfway through the flight to the destination planet, the object unfolds an umbrella-like structure and ejects traces of ions against the direction of travel.

Ion deceleration propulsion has obvious advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the specific impulse is high, that is, the fuel energy utilization rate is high, and the disadvantage is that the thrust per unit time is small.

It is precisely because of the shortcomings of ion propulsion that the object will start to decelerate and advance in the middle of the journey as early as possible. According to calculations, the ion propulsion will continue to decelerate for a long time in the middle of the journey, which will make the speed of the object before reaching the destination planet Descend to within the safe zone.

However, the collector designed the ion propulsion deceleration for the object precisely because of the shortcomings of ion propulsion. The small thrust per unit time also means that the energy released per unit time is small, which is excellent in thermal imaging radar. Concealed effect.

After all, electromagnetic waves decrease as the propagation distance decreases, and the tiny electromagnetic waves released by ion propulsion have been submerged in the electromagnetic waves of the cosmic background before being received by the two civilizations in the star system.

After the object approached the outermost planet, it deflected its course and headed toward a satellite of the planet, and finally fell on the satellite without an atmosphere.

The satellite material is mined and transferred to the universe to create camouflaged meteorites with a diameter of between ten and twenty kilometers, of varying sizes.

After the number reached 10,000, the collectors started their settlement, disguising the ion propulsion on the meteorite, and the mighty meteorite group began to march towards the second orbiting planet, the rocking star inhabited by the Xians.

During the travel of the camouflage meteorite rain, the spy individuals inside the meteorite began to reorganize their genes and turn themselves into multiple tiny individuals. The largest tiny individuals are only the size of a human thumb. These tiny individuals have a very strong polymer carapace outside. , And extremely strong acid and alkali resistance. It has a solid helium cube and an ultra-miniature antimatter reactor. The reactor contains 0.1 grams of antimatter.

When the meteorite rain reached three-quarters of the entire journey, the space units anchored in the near orbit of the shaking star began to take action.

I saw the other party disappear suddenly, and then appeared as if teleporting over a thousand kilometers away from the side of the meteorite shower. This distance is very close in space.

As early as the beginning of the operation, the collectors expected that the space units anchored on the planet’s near orbit would take action against the meteorite rain. The volume of the meteorite is more than ten kilometers, and the free fall hits the ground, even if it is the power of one. , Are enough to change the global climate, now it is 10,000, and the shock wave alone can sweep the world.

The meteorite rain created by the collectors is not too much to say that it is a cosmic natural disaster that can destroy the ecology of a planet's surface.

However, although the collectors expected that the opponent would intercept the meteorite, they did not expect how they would intercept it. The opponent's teleport ability was something they had never expected, and there was some concern that the plan would be disrupted.

However, even if the collectors are worried, they cannot communicate with their kinsmen in other meteorites, because there is a great possibility of exposure. The meteorite showers have to keep silent from the beginning, and there is no longer any radio communication to avoid being caught. The other party received it. Now these space units are only a thousand kilometers away from them. As long as the other party has radio signal reception technology, the collective communication between collectors will inevitably be discovered.

The collectors finally decided to continue the implementation according to the original plan. The ion propulsion was turned off and removed. All traces of life on the camouflaged meteorite were erased, and then they contracted in the most central area of ​​the camouflaged meteorite. Except for external observations, it is not aimed at intercepting meteorites. Rain's space unit takes no action.

With the help of the light from the stars, the collectors vaguely observed that these space biological units released something to the meteor collectors. The specifics were unclear, and those things were too small. Book it

However, the collectors soon learned.

After these objects fly for a period of time, they come into contact with meteorites, and a series of explosions occur. Some highly corrosive liquids will corrode some meteorites into liquids.

The laser as expected by the collectors did not appear. Those space units released some corrosive explosives. More than 10,000 meteorites with a volume of more than ten kilometers were blown into millions of small fragments. , The tiny individuals gathered in the center of the camouflage meteorite were also scattered among the meteorite fragments because of the explosion.

The overall direction of travel of these fragments has not changed because of the destruction, because the gravitational force of the planet itself plus the strong inertia during the original large meteorite, the fragments are still moving towards the second orbit planet.

It’s just that there’s no threat anymore. Small fragments that cannot reach the planet’s ground will vaporize due to atmospheric friction, while smaller fragments will balance the air resistance with the falling speed, even if they fall on the ground. Comparable to the power of a nuclear bomb, at best it is equivalent to the power of a bullet.

Just when the collectors thought that these space units would leave, they did not expect that the space units released many small space units. These small space units formed groups and moved towards the meteorite debris group.

It seems that to investigate the meteorite rain, small space units are just scurrying around in the meteorite debris cluster.

These small creatures can't find the collectors. The smallest pieces are the size of a human head. Tiny individuals with only the size of a thumb are really not enough to attract attention in the vast space of the universe.

Even if you switch to thermal imaging, it is impossible to distinguish. Although tiny individuals have their own body temperature, because the meteorite has been bombed, the meteorite fragments also carry residual temperature that has not yet dissipated.

Some tiny individuals, looking at the timing, calmly attached to the outer carapace of these small creatures. There are no nerve endings on the carapace, so there is no sense of touch.

Through chemical coordination, a single-cell-sized hole is made in the carapace, and then the tiny individual changes its life form, transforms into a plural single-cell family, drills through the hole, and carefully avoids the nerves of the small organism Fiber, disguised as ordinary humoral cells in the organism, avoids the immune system and completes the task of invading and hiding.

This is part of the collectors' plan ~lightnovelpub.net~ After searching for no results, the small biota returned to the large organisms, and brought the collectors into the large organisms by the way.

The remaining tiny individuals, along with the meteorite fragments, fell towards the surface of the destination planet.

The meteorite fragments fell and turned into red lotus arrows, and the vaporized material flow dragged behind, like the arrow body of an arrow. With the high temperature brought by friction with the atmosphere, these meteorite fragments will be heated before they fall to the ground. Vaporized and merged with the atmosphere of this planet.

However, the tiny individuals mixed in the meteorite fragments do not need to worry about this problem. They are too small. After they accelerate to a certain degree, the atmospheric drag and gravitation will no longer provide the tiny individuals with falling acceleration. Therefore, atmospheric friction The degree will not be very strong, and there will be no high temperature problems.

Unfolding the resistance board, the falling speed of the tiny individual further decreased. In the end, at the moment of reaching the ground, except for a small hole equal to the size of the tiny individual, nothing happened.

After observing the surroundings with eyes and confirming that there are no abnormalities, the tiny individual grows several pairs of jointed feet, burying the small pits that he smashed, and marching into the distance by changing the camouflage color. _
