How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 528: Sea of ​​Fire

This is a habitable planet with liquid water, and it has initially evolved its own ecosystem.

At present, it is certain that the ecosphere has evolved to the plant stage, and no animal traces have been found, so I have reservations.

In other words, it's not civilization?

The leader of the cluster asked, this is not only its individual question, but also the question of the collectors in other channels.

So far it looks like that.

Then what happened to the light spots we observed? It's not man-made, is it the result of nature?

Some collectors asked again, this question is something they are more concerned about. The situation of light spots is too rare. After colonizing so many star systems, the collectors discovered such a phenomenon. They only found such a phenomenon of light spots on the mother star of the empire. Lin had seen it before, and it was hard not to let them connect the two.

Now the same people who are going there to survey say that there is no civilization, they will believe it, but they don't believe it unconditionally, they need to know what caused the planet's light spots.

On this point, the collectors who went to investigate had already investigated clearly, and because of the investigation was clear and 100% sure, it came to report its findings to its fellow clansmen.

It is nature. The true face of the light spot is a large area of ​​flames burning on the surface. The plants on the planet are very lush, and the proportion of oil-rich plants is very high. The oxygen content in the air is constant at more than 80%.

The three laws of combustion, combustible matter, ignition point, and oxygen, two of which have been assembled, and only a lightning bolt, or just a small Mars, can form the surface light spots we observe in the universe.

How about the resources on that planet? Is there any value reserved for them?

The cluster leader asked, this question is directly related to the fate of that planet in the near future, if it is of no value, it will be dismantled by the collectors and become part of their construction resources in the star system.

Strictly speaking, however, collectors don't really want valuable planets to be demolished, because such planets are rare. If a planet that can breed civilization is a diamond, then a planet with an ecosystem is gold. There is an essential difference.

Although it has only developed to the plant stage, it is much stronger than other lifeless planets, and it is too rare.

I think that if it doesn't have much impact on the population's colonization of the star system, it is worth keeping and observing.

I see. The cluster leader silently marked the planet whose ecosphere had only developed to the plant stage as a non-dismantling object.

After finishing the report and communication, the collectors on the habitable planet relaxed a little, but it was this relaxation that brought disaster to it.

Finally, the tedious report is over...

careful!

Huh? The collector was taken aback.

Hearing the warning from the same race to him, before the collector could react to the warning, the crisis came to it silently.

boom--!

A wave of heat hit, it was the flames of Red Lotus Hell, they swept everything like a torrent breaking a bank, and in a blink of an eye hundreds of miles were covered with seas of flames.

The picture above the sea of ​​flames is distorting, and even the air is trembling in front of such a heat wave. Billowing thick smoke rises from the burnt plants into the atmosphere, blackening the entire sky, and dark clouds cover the clear sky.

They are the top rulers on this planet, and they are the natural enemies of plants!

In such a sea of ​​fire, three living organisms jumped out from bottom to top, spread their membrane wings, and then the updraft formed by the heat wave soared high in the sky.

One of the collectors was still terrified.

It's so dangerous! It scared me, I almost thought I was going to die!

I told you earlier, don't focus on two things when exploring the planet, it's very unsafe, and dying meaninglessly is quite a sad thing.

Fortunately, we put this layer of protective interlayer on ourselves in advance to prevent the flames, otherwise we would really be dead.

Considering the sea of ​​fire on the surface of the planet, the collectors adjusted their biological structure and added an extra layer on their surface. The inside of this layer is an organic thermal insulation material similar to foam plastic, which has a high thermal insulation coefficient. A solid helium enclosure used to cool living organisms.

Through the high-speed circulation of body fluids, the temperature of the organism is kept constant within an interval value. It can be said that swimming in the sea of ​​​​fire for a while is not a problem. From the perspective of plants, it is like a sea of ​​fire caused by natural disasters, but it is not so terrible in the eyes of collectors. Because they have seen more terrifying, higher temperature, magma planets that can even melt the ground.

Of course, all of this is based on preparation. If there is no preparation, it is impossible for the collectors to withstand the high temperature of the sea of ​​fire with amino acids that will undergo material denaturation at just one hundred degrees.

Looking at the vast ocean of flames below, the collectors couldn't help sighing.

Tsk, this planet is like a powder keg, it will ignite immediately, thanks to the fact that these plants can grow so tall.

From the perspective of collectors, plants should not evolve so tall, but should develop horizontally as flat as possible, because the probability of survival will be higher in this way, and the vitality of plants is very tenacious, and they can completely cut off their limbs Reborn life form.

The collector, who was taken aback by what happened just now, proposed after pondering for a while.

Let's use rhizomes to explore next time? As long as we expand in a deep enough layer, it won't affect the ecological circle on the surface, and it's also very convenient for observation.

Exploring as an individual like now is too dangerous, and we don't need to take such risks.

After hearing the words, the other two collectors agreed to the proposal after thinking about it for a while.

agree.

The collectors flew towards their station, where there was a fire barrier built earlier, and it could be said to be the only place on this planet that was not threatened by the sea of ​​fire.

After flying for a certain distance, one of the collectors suddenly felt something as he watched the fallen large plant remains below.

I think our previous deduction is probably wrong. It wasn't lightning or sparks that ignited the forest. It was caused by the plant we came into contact with just now. Its purpose of doing this is to kill other people. Plants, in order to create a better living environment for their own race.

But other plants are not vegetarian. Some of them have strong heat resistance, and some have better seeding ability than other plants, so the plants were not extinct by the flame plants, and the flame plants just complemented the ecological circle. The missing part, large-scale combustion can consume a lot of oxygen and turn it into carbon dioxide, which is good for plants.

Plants actually evolve the ability to ignite. I have never seen such a strange evolutionary direction. It is necessary to study it in depth.
