How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 511 Luoren Civilization

It is difficult for aliens to learn the language of the collectors, because it is not easy to learn a language, and the collectors do not have the technology to help aliens speed up their learning.

However, the reverse is much simpler. The collectors have supercomputers that can decipher the language. The larger the amount of text, the lower the difficulty of deciphering. With a living text like aliens, the difficulty of deciphering is almost nonexistent.

The two sides will soon be able to communicate normally.

What's your name? What race do you belong to? Where do you come from?

After being able to communicate fluently, the collectors asked these three questions first, and the aliens cooperated, and answered the collectors' inquiries truthfully without hesitation.

Connor belongs to the race 'Luoren', from the six planets Kesang in the Radiance system.

How long have you been on that planet?

Eleven Feilun.

The alien who called himself Connor was still very cooperative in answering the inquiries of the collectors, without any sense of taboo.

Why did you go to the black hole companion star?

I was assigned a colonization task by the government to go to that planet to develop a colony.

Speaking of this, Connor, who was not emotional just now, had emotional ups and downs in his words, and he added angrily.

Those bastards only consider their political achievements, in order to win more voice among the people, deliberately distort the data information of some detectors, and coax idiots like me to go to die on that planet.

Colonization? Just relying on you as an independent individual can complete the reproductive behavior?

The collectors were not surprised by this answer. This was something they had guessed earlier, but they were still puzzled by one thing, because since it was a colonization, there was no reason there was only one alien who colonized another planet, the alien who called himself Luo. Intelligent races are biological individuals that reproduce sexually, and they need a heterosexual mother to reproduce offspring.

And considering the diversity of genes, in order to avoid gene collapse, a sufficient number of male and female individuals are required to go to alien stars.

Regarding this issue, the collectors have various speculations, among which most collectors agree that these Luo people were all killed, and this Luo person is the only survivor at present, which is very likely, after all, there are Mach tsunami is a terrifying natural phenomenon.

However, the facts are somewhat different from what the collectors thought.

My civilization has developed artificial womb technology, and the population can be conceived by machines.

Inter-star colonization is not an easy task, because it needs a higher speed to maintain a large-scale space-time spanning light years, and a higher speed requires more energy, and the possible output is limited after all. So in the end, the smaller the mass of the object that travels across the stars, the better, because with the same amount of energy, small mass means low energy consumption, which can achieve higher speeds with less consumption, and can also easily The completed deceleration.

The larger the volume, the greater the probability of being hit by a meteorite in the open space between the stars, and the lower the overall strength.

For various reasons, the creation trend of sailing across the star system is that the smaller the mass, the better, the smaller the volume, and the higher the strength, the better.

In order to reduce the mass and volume, the number of people carrying the spaceship also needs to be added. After the artificial uterus technology is developed, the colony spaceship needs to carry the gene bank, the artificial uterus device, and one operator are enough, and there is no need to burden a large amount of space. After these occupants are deleted, a large number of life support areas can also be deleted. Only one hibernation cabin is needed, such as entertainment facilities. The spaceship needs to meet the needs of one person, not a group of people. .

As for the ethical and moral issues raised by the artificial womb to conceive the population, are these issues more important than the expansion of civilization? unimportant.

The collectors quickly figured out the cause and effect. The situation of these Luo people is very similar to the empire's seed plan, except that the empire did not unlock the artificial womb technology, but directly let female crew members undertake the population reproduction work.

With that question answered, the gatherers continued to ask.

How did you survive such a harsh surface environment? We want to know the details.

After being questioned by the collector, Connor fell into the memory of himself on the companion star of the black hole, and narrated the process of his survival in a calm tone.

When my spaceship just landed on the companion star, it was unlucky, and it was soon devastated by the tsunami on the planet. Fortunately, although those bastards in the government have no conscience, at least they have done enough to make the spaceship strong enough. Resisted the first wave of the tsunami.

However, this is the limit. The spaceship will definitely not be able to withstand the second wave. After quickly analyzing the situation, I used the construction machinery in the spaceship to dig the ground. Before the next tsunami hits, let the spaceship be lower than the ground, and then use simple smelting The metal plate is covered on the top to withstand the subsequent tsunami, and then to the back, I continue to deepen the excavation of the stratum, and I have established a simple underground survival station.

It is not difficult to avoid the Mach tsunami. The collectors who landed on the planet also use similar methods. As long as they are below the ground, the power of the Mach tsunami will be weakened a lot.

However, this approach also raises another question, the collectors ask.

Why would you build a big metal building above the ground when it would be eroded by the tsunami?

Connor was slightly taken aback, and answered the collectors' questions, That's a radar antenna, I need to send a distress signal to my civilization, let them come to save me.

The antenna cannot be placed below the ground, as that will affect the transmission and reception of the signal. The distance is already very far, and after such a round of signal weakening, it will be even more impossible to send the distress signal to the parent star, so Connor must let the antenna It is higher than the ground, but there is a Mach tsunami above the ground, and the tsunami will inevitably destroy the antenna.

So what to do?

Connor thought of a good way to enlarge the antenna and build it into a large and strong metal structure. Among various geometric design schemes, he chose the geometric model of the quadrangular prism as the antenna template.

The answer that the quadrangular platform is an antenna surprised the collectors. This was something they never thought of. The main reason was the error of empiricism. Their subjective subconsciousness believed that the antenna was a very thin and long metal body, so from a At the beginning, the quadrangular platform was not connected with the antenna.

Since you have already developed under that planet, why don't you increase the population? That should be able to build a colony.
