How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 563 Incompetent Loser

Isn't the antimatter still good?

A certain leaping creature anchored near the antimatter giant structure asked, and immediately drew an impatient reply from the other party.

What's the rush? Don't you know that this is the most troublesome strategic resource to obtain in the group? There is still plenty of time, so wait quietly.

oh.

Twenty-one years have passed since the collectors finally replied to the Carters. At this time, planets still exist in this star system, but there are only a few solid cores left Floating in the universe, like a poor girl stripped naked by hooligans.

In the composite channel constructed by the life field and radio, the collectors browsed resource information one by one.

Metallic hydrogen...resources are plentiful.

Proton lattice body...resources are sufficient.

Solid helium...resources are abundant.

Ammonia monohydrate...resources are sufficient.

Heavy water... is abundant in resources.

...

Antimatter... out of stock.

After browsing all the resource information, the collectors fell into thinking.

The star track has already been constructed, and we need to go back to the material resources, so we can set off.

The antimatter giants are already producing at full power, and it is only a matter of time before they are fully replenished.

I knew that we wouldn't have traveled 23 light-years in one go. If we were closer, we could obtain antimatter resources from the same family in the neighboring star system.

It's pointless to complain about this kind of thing because it's already happened.

Taking the lead from the very beginning, more and more collectors are embarking on larger-scale interstellar voyages. This is very risky, but it is worth it. The experience after the voyage is completed will be an extremely valuable wealth of knowledge for the ethnic group.

However, compared with Chu, these collectors are still a bit inferior, because at this point in time, the voyage capability of the cluster led by You Chu has reached the level of 30 light-years, and is challenging towards the interstellar voyage of 40 light-years.

At a certain point in time, some collectors observed more than a thousand bright stars outside the star system, and they showed obvious signs of blue shift, which is the result of compressed light frequency under the Doppler effect Luminosity changes indicate that these luminous bodies are approaching the position of the observer at a very high speed.

They're here!

The gatherers are excited, this is the reinforcement of the tribe.

When the leapers get close enough to a star system colonized by the harvesters, the harvesters send a powerful radio message through the star.

Welcome to the same family to come to this star system.

This is your route to orbit.

Following the route planned by the local collectors and entering orbit, the leaping creatures who came from afar were the first to inquire about information about the new civilization.

Although during the interstellar communication, the collectors have tried their best to deliver the information they know to their peers 23 light-years away in detail, but the information will inevitably be misunderstood, just like the Arabs wrote '3', The British will think it is 'E' when they see it, and the Chinese will think it is 'mountain' after seeing it, even if they are in the same language, there will be misunderstandings.

In order to confirm the information, it needs to be verified several times to eliminate misunderstandings, but on a scale of 23 light years, it takes 46 years for the information to come and go, not to mention several times, at least a hundred years .

You found something good, do you have a detailed understanding of that civilization?

It is preliminarily judged that the civilization that masters planet-level resources may be at the same level as the Serenes, and it is a civilization that requires the vigilance of the ethnic group.

After getting a reply, the leap forward creature continued to ask.

So what is our cluster size?

Including your words, it's about one thousand and five.

With such a small number, why do you think you can deal with a powerful enemy like the empire?

The leap forward creatures who came to support could only make judgments based on intelligence without knowing it, and according to their habits, they would prepare for the worst, that is, the strength of the new civilization would be as difficult as the empire, and it would initially have the ability to destroy Stellar capabilities, just not interstellar colonization yet.

We are just the first group to determine the opponent's combat effectiveness and technical level. If we are eliminated, the group will have a reason to mobilize resources on a large scale.

Also according to the tradition of the collectors, planning for the worst, the collectors who don't know much about the Carters, when they learn that the other party has at least the use of planet-level resources, they are regarded as opponents comparable to the empire.

As for whether they have the ability to destroy stars, they have not made a conclusion on this point, and they are going to consider these after the initial trials.

The method of testing is very simple. About 1,500 leap-forward creatures arrive at the star system where the civilization is located to fight, and if they survive, they will send back the actual test information. Twenty years after departure, if Without information, it is assumed that the Yuejin biological cluster will be completely wiped out, which also means that the technological level of the alien civilization is at a very high level, at least capable of destroying 1,500 fully armed Yuejin creatures, which requires the group to be highly vigilant .

I see.

The reinforcements who figured this out did not express any objection, and it is a matter of course to sacrifice their lives for the ethnic group.

While the local collectors were exchanging other information about the group with the reinforcements from afar, the collectors who had been observing the direction of the Carter's parent star reported in the channel.

That alien civilization sent another message.

Take a look at the translation.

The information is translated very quickly, and such translation becomes easier after the translated text is completed.

[Amoebic civilization, when you received this message, we have already made full preparations. We have put a high-power satellite into orbit at a distance of 45 billion units from the star. With the help of the gravitational wave of the star, the The signal radiation distance from the satellite will reach a hundred light-years away. Please give up going to our star immediately and let your fleet turn around. We will wait for your reply in ten years. In eleven years, whether you choose to be silent or the information is delayed due to other reasons, we will immediately send the message of the destruction of our civilization to the universe. 】

What are they going to do? I don't understand.

It should be to deter us in this way.

Gatherers who understand the content of the information explain it to their fellows.

How to deter?

The collector thought about it and asked.

Try to think about it. Civilization A attacked civilization B. Before the attack, civilization B sent out the reason for its attack and the murderer who attacked them. This information was learned by civilization C. What would civilization C think?

Civilization A is a big threat and needs to be vigilant.

Of course, since civilization A can destroy civilization B, it is normal to destroy civilization C. If civilization C does not want to be destroyed, it must be vigilant, and even use force against civilization A. Collectors who prioritize the existence of ethnic groups will also Such action must be taken.

Yes, this method will increase the effect as the number of alien civilizations increases, especially after it is confirmed that civilization B is indeed attacking, civilization A will definitely become a target of public criticism.

A few simple words answered the complicated questions. The Carter civilization wanted to use this to make the collectors be wary and not dare to act rashly. As long as there is a second high-level space within a hundred light-years of their star system Technological alien civilization, such information has a deterrent effect.

It's really interesting, but it's a pity...

Well, it's a pity that such a strategy is meaningless to us.

Collectors who are dedicated to searching for alien civilizations are very aware of the rarity of alien civilizations. There is no high-tech alien civilization within this hundred light-year range, otherwise the amoeba would have established diplomatic relations with it.

Almost five years have passed since then, watching the time go exactly to the eleventh year when the original message was sent without waiting for any reply message from the amoeba civilization.

Dops Stein, the third commander-in-chief of the Carter civilization, fell.

Mr. Dops, what's the matter with you?!

The assistant on the side screamed in panic.

Heart...heart is not very good, feeling...uncomfortable...

Hospital, ambulance, come here! Call the ambulance!

On the hospital bed, the old man who brought the knowledge of mass-energy equations, nuclear-powered warships, and the theory of relativity to the Carter civilization held his assistant's hand tightly.

How are you?

The assistant asked with concern, but Dops responded with a bitter smile.

I'm sorry, kid, I'm an incompetent loser.
