How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 215 Frontier

Crossing the void, crossing the long distance between the planets, finally arrived at the outpost star that was used as a springboard to attack the aliens.

This is a planet with a mass 1.27 times smaller than that of Ming, so its gravitational force will appear smaller. It orbits a satellite, its surface is reddish red, and its rotation speed is very fast. It will complete once every five or six hours. sunrise and sunset.

This planet has no geomagnetism. Hogu speculates that it should be due to the cooling of the planet's core, resulting in the disappearance of the geomagnetic field.

Due to the weak gravitational force and the absence of geomagnetic protection, the solar wind blows a lot of gas on the surface into the universe, and the atmosphere of this planet gradually becomes thinner.

The temperature from the star cannot be locked by the thin atmosphere, the temperature on the surface is maintained below zero, and the cooling of the earth's core means that there will be no violent geological activities on this planet, but this does not mean that this planet is calm and extremely high. The rotation rate of the planet causes superstorms to blow on the planet most of the time, with wind speeds reaching nearly 200 meters per second.

Storms erode land, rocks, and mountains, flattening the surface of the planet. Tens of trillions of fine sands are engulfed in strong winds all day long, hitting and wearing away any obstacles encountered along the way like bullets.

The Serenes had arrived on this planet, landed on it, and even tried to conquer and establish an interstellar transfer station, but failed. The dust in the sky would get into any gap, causing mechanical wear and tear to paralyze. Not long after, the transfer station's The construction plan was terminated and abolished due to high maintenance costs.

Floating on the low-earth orbit, as the collector of the probe that arrived earlier, it sends electromagnetic wave signals to the biological mothership and arranges the traction work.

The current distance is 400,000 kilometers, the speed limit is 30km/s, the track cut-in angle is 70 degrees, and the direction and speed are guaranteed...

Put in individual units and set up frontier positions. Huo Gu gave instructions to the fellow collectors like this.

Following the order, the mothership creature was at one pole of the planet, a large number of small pieces of meat were thrown by the mothership creature, and fell from the sky of the planet at a high speed like rain.

Due to the small mass, these pieces of meat did not meet the conditions of friction with the atmosphere to generate heat. After reaching a certain threshold, the speed will not increase, and they will fall at a constant speed. When the height of the pieces of meat is about 5000 meters above the ground, all the pieces of meat They spread out one after another, forming a mushroom shape, slowing down the speed of descent.

Violent sandstorms are blowing all the time, many 'mushrooms' are blown far away, and the entire large cluster disintegrates under the strong wind.

However, this is also a difficulty that Huogu and the group of collectors have long expected. The mushrooms that fell on the ground quickly took root in place, and changed from the posture of mushrooms to free-moving collectors. Relying on the radio, they quickly reassembled the group .

They are connected with each other, and within a few days, a landform covered with fleshy protein takes shape, standing firm in the wind and dust.

This is the first step, to gain a firm foothold on the planet. On the orbit of the planet, Hogu continues to deliver materials to the collectors, such as water, amino acids, heavy metals, nuclear materials, and so on.

A planet full of dust cannot achieve photosynthesis, so after gaining a firm foothold, the first thing to build is a biological nuclear fission reactor. With Hogu's guidance, it is not difficult for collectors to build such a reactor .

The construction began around the reactor, and the collectors began to explore the planet through growth, and the exploration was divided into two directions, the surface and the underground.

With the blessing of the reactor, inorganic substances and metals can be obtained from the dusty soil one after another, but water is still very scarce, and the whole planet is like a sponge that has been completely evaporated. Fortunately, the collectors on the ground use internal circulation , Liquid water can be reused, as long as it is sealed against body fluids, there will be no major problems.

The strong wind on the ground was howling, and as time passed, the part of the surface that the collectors occupied was buried by the wind and sand, and the planet wiped away the 'stain' on its surface.

The burial of the wind and sand did not make the collectors panic, because they knew that as long as they continued to dig like this, they would soon be able to find what the cluster was looking for.

This continued for more than 30 days, and the collectors who turned into rhizomes dug deeper into the ground for more than ten kilometers, digging into the stratum accumulated by solid water.

In the past, Sentinel was also a planet rich in liquid water, and its water reserves were even ten times greater than that of Ming. However, as the core cooled, the temperature on the surface dropped sharply, and the ocean of liquid water froze, and the overall volume of the planet became larger. , under the precipitation of time, has become today's solid water formation.

Using the high temperature of the reactor, the collectors can easily obtain the desired liquid water, and unscrupulously begin to expand the number of groups, increasing exponentially, expanding the surface coverage area and going deeper into the core.

At some point, the violent wind on the surface of the planet stopped, and countless horny spiers rose from the ground. They were not as tall as the giant structures on Ming's body, but they were several times the height of those human buildings on Earth. The strong wind was sheltered by these buildings. Divided into countless trickles, it is no longer so powerful.

In the area occupied by the collectors, the sand and dust have disappeared. The soil on the ground is firmly grasped by the roots, and the sand and dust have lost the soil in which they exist. In the center of the occupied area, you can already see the sky full of stars at night.

The rhizomes that go deep into the ground, cross many strata, and grow unimpeded all the way down. Without the hot lava, going deep into the strata is just digging harder rocks. For collectors who have already mastered single-molecule drilling technology, it is almost the same as It's as easy as eating and drinking.

By feeling the change of gravity, the collectors know that they have touched the core of the earth.

They tried to drill with unimolecular rhizomes, and it was very difficult, but only a little bit of debris was obtained. This shows that the hardness of the earth's core has reached an unimaginable level, and it is the hardest thing that the collectors currently know. It is not surprising that the mass is pressed against the earth's core to achieve such hardness.

Relying on the earth's core, building shafts and filling them with liquid water, the collectors began to build the alien's hydraulic fusion reactor exactly as Hogu planned.

Today's construction does not require any high-speed rotating large wheels. The planet's gravity can be used as a substitute. With the energy obtained from nuclear fusion, the entire planet begins to heat up, and the temperature gradually enters a livable temperature above zero.

Of course, this is a side effect. Nuclear fusion has brought more energy and accelerated the construction of the collectors. Various honeycombs relying on reactors to manufacture compounds are rising one after another. The infrastructure has been completed, and the collectors have begun to produce planetary defenses. Fortifications and mothership creatures...

On the equator of the planet, there are many silk threads standing. The cloud platforms built on the sky are reproduced by the collectors. They have a whole planet as their background, and there are more and more huge mothership creatures. Gradually take shape.
