How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 494 Colonization in progress

For the collectors, star systems with asteroid belts other than the Kuiper belt are the easiest star systems to develop, because in the early stages of colonization and development of star systems, they can obtain sufficient material resources and do not need to be like planets. When mining, you need to consider fighting the gravity of the planet.

Hey, wait for me, don't accelerate so fast, it will consume more antimatter after decelerating for a while.

This resource will be consumed as soon as it is consumed. We can't exceed the planned time, or it will disrupt the original arrangement.

Although this is the case, the production of antimatter is very low. It will take time for the giant structure to stock up enough. We need to prepare for the next voyage.

After entering the star system, the tasks were initially assigned, and the sublight speed creatures were divided into several groups to act. At this time, the two sublight speed creatures were walking together, using antimatter to propel them to the asteroid belt.

This star system has two asteroid belts in addition to the Kuiper belt, and their destination is the outer asteroid belt, which is located in the sixth orbit of the star system.

This distance is still relatively time-consuming at the current speed of the two organisms. It spans a distance of more than ten astronomical units and consumes 43 rotations of the time to reach the outer asteroid belt.

You go that way, I go this way, and act separately, which is the most efficient.

Upon arrival, the gatherers received radio messages from their kin.

Collectors don't mind splitting up. This is to speed up the progress and for the development of the group. How could there be any objections?

However, before splitting up, the collector still had some problems that needed the help of his fellows, so when he expressed his agreement, he also asked his fellows for qualitative inquiries.

Understood, but can you give me some water resources?

You've run out of water resources? There's no need for water resources on the voyage, right?

The same race felt strange, because during their voyage, there are very few places that need water resources, and only when they are colonizing the stars will they use water resources in large quantities, so when they go to the next star system, they will carry The reserves are not huge water resources, these water resources are used for the development and construction of the destination star.

But now the collectors ask it for some water resources, which makes it puzzled. The water resources are replenished together, and no one should be short of this part of the resources.

It soon came to its senses, and the collectors explained why they needed water, simply because it was being consumed.

When sailing at sub-light speed, I encountered a small-sized mass of matter. The annihilation reaction made my speed drop. In order to restore the speed, some water resources were used to produce a hydrogen mass, so that the anti-matter propulsion can be carried out without consuming the original reserves. In the case of hydrogen gas clusters, the speed increase is completed.

So that's why you said saving antimatter just now.

In this way, the question will be solved, because it consumes more antimatter than other members of the same family, so it will be more difficult in this respect, and then there is water resources, because water resources are consumed to produce hydrogen and oxygen, although water resources reserves It can still support development, but it will definitely not speed up, because the quality of these water resources is added to sub-light speed organisms after careful calculation, and even a gram less will not work.

Is your current antimatter reserve still sufficient?

The reserves are relatively small, and it is difficult to continue the light-year voyage with the star track, but this is not a problem. When the antimatter giant structure is bred, my antimatter reserves can be replenished.

The collector answered the inquiries of the same family. It was also quite depressed about what happened. It could meet it with such a small probability. The key is that it did not think too much when producing hydrogen and oxygen, completely forgetting that these water resources are in the The function after arriving in the star system is used directly, so it is very embarrassing now.

The same species pierces one of the tentacles of their biological body as easily as a sharp knife into a cream cake, and then the tentacles push through the gaps between the proton lattice bodies, and the part of the water storage acts as a water pipeline to transfer liquid water from the biological body. In vivo transfer to another organism.

Here you are, these are water resources, don't waste them, water resources are not a standing resource, and I don't have much here.

After transporting the water resources, the fellow clansmen did not forget to ask the collectors.

Understood. The collector replied.

See you later then.

See you later.

The two sides separated, and went to explore everything in the asteroid belt in a left-right way.

Due to the lack of water resources, the collectors are the first to search for asteroids rich in water resources such as ice meteorites. While replenishing water resources, they also breed biological factories such as honeycombs that can process and disassemble compounds.

The hive will be the main vanguard of these arrangers to search for resources in the asteroid belt, and it can be used as a material processing factory and a biological maintenance station.

The processed material resources will be stacked up for the convenience of the group. With the material resources processed by the honeycomb, the resource mining in the asteroid belt will only increase geometrically.

However, the premise of all this is that there must be such a large ice meteorite. If there is no such a large ice meteorite, it will be empty talk. This is the problem. If there is no water resource as a starting point, it will be quite difficult.

The first step in development is to find a meteorite rich in water resources...

The collector whispered to himself, it stretched out its tentacles and made contact with the meteorite. On a microscopic scale, it can be seen that there are a large number of cilia on the tentacles. The function of these cilia is naturally to bring the materials on the meteorite together, thus Determine the composition ratio of that meteorite.

No, this is not, this is an iron-nickel meteorite, next one.

The collectors left the asteroid with some disappointment, and went to the next asteroid with almost the same size, hoping to find the resources they wanted.

However, the result still disappoints it, it can only continue to search for meteorites suitable for camping in one meteorite after another.

No, this is a chromite meteorite.

This is also an iron-nickel meteorite.

Carbon silicon meteorite...

Carbon sulfur iron meteorite...

...

The emperor paid off, after searching again and again, the collectors finally found the ice meteorite that they searched hard for.

This is it! It's an ice meteorite!

The size of this one is not small, it fits very well, so I chose it.

The collector impatiently brought the tentacles into contact with the ice meteorite, and the contact part of the tentacles and the ice meteorite began to change, expanding and contracting like a balloon.

If you have the ability to see through, you will find that a miniature version of the hive is being bred inside.
