How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 587: An Unfamiliar External Signal

Amoeba's rule of territory is not a linear expansion, but more like the ripples of water droplets falling on the water surface. In addition to carrying out the seed rescue mission to the Serenes, there are also collectors expanding and colonizing the stars in other directions.

In another direction perpendicular to the direction of their expansion at the beginning, the collectors who had not long completed the colonization of the new marginal territory of this ethnic group suddenly received an unfamiliar signal from other places.

Radio signal received from outside the star system.

Is someone from the same race coming?

This was the first reaction of other collectors when they heard the news, but soon, the collectors who thought this way were refuted by their other race members.

We are the colonized star at the frontier of the race, and there is no fellow race in that direction.

Eh? Then who sent this signal source?

The news came so suddenly that some collectors hadn't reacted yet.

However, their brains still did not stop, and their brains began to logically analyze the obtained information.

...received an unknown signal from outside the star system...the direction is not from the ethnic group...it is very likely to be an alien civilization...

Under the derivation of the logical chain, the collectors began to get excited.

...It is a precious group resource! What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up! Quickly call out the star map! We need to determine the coordinates of their signal delivery.

Collectors directly define it as a resource. In fact, this understanding is correct. For collectors, alien civilizations are living resources that are cherished one by one, which can provide technical promotion to the ethnic group.

How do we determine the coordinates? a collector asked.

This strange radio signal is not complicated, so it does not carry much complicated information, it is just a simple signal.

It is highly likely that this signal was just a radio signal used for other purposes than communication.

Therefore, the collectors are not sure whether such a signal will be repeated again. If the signal source only intends to send radio information once, how can they obtain the coordinates of the signal source?

The cluster leader half-rebuked and half-explained his plan in the channel.

Tell you to use your brains more often. You see, when you want to use it now, you don't know how to use it? As long as two platforms at different positions receive the signal, a straight line is infinitely extended from the direction where they observed the signal. Then calculate the intersection point of these two lines, and naturally you can know where the signal source is coming from.

Although every collector has the same knowledge memory, the memory is memory after all, not the degree of understanding of knowledge, it is like memorizing a book forcibly, but due to the memorizer's own factors, the content of the book is not in the mind. Unavailable.

After the cluster leader's explanation, other collectors came to their senses.

So that's what happened.

According to the method of the cluster leader, the collectors began to calculate to find out the coordinate position of the star where the signal source is located.

It wasn't long before they found it.

Found it! Uh... But this location is a bit strange, there is no star in this coordinate.

The collector of the report was a little hesitant, because there was no star at the position of the signal source, and even with the coordinates as the center, there was no star within a radius of two light-years and three light-years.

Such a result puzzled the report collectors.

Did you make a mistake? asked the cluster leader.

No, I checked it twice before reporting, and there is indeed no mistake in the calculation.

The cluster leader thought for a while and asked again.

Did you substitute the stellar displacement into it? The stars are constantly moving in a circle around the center of the galaxy.

Considered.

Then have you considered the delay factor of the speed of light? When the signal is transmitted to our side, there will be an obvious delay on a large scale.

I have also considered it. The collector who reported it replied.

Then why not? There is a deviation in the observation direction?

This time, the leader of the group was also puzzled, it thought of the last possible mistake, and the answer from the same race made it feel a little bad.

I don't know, the feeling is not the cause of the deviation. The signal source is only five light-years away from us. Even if there is a deviation, it is impossible to deviate by two or three light-years.

After other collectors heard the information, some individuals made guesses.

You say... will this alien civilization be the same as ours?

Same as what? Another group?

The individual explained, No, I mean the way of expansion. The radio signal we received is the deceleration signal of the alien fleet using the reflection of the star to descend from sub-light speed. Isn't that what we do?

You mean, a fleet of alien civilizations is approaching us? the cluster leader asked.

It also thought of this, but it was later than the individual expressed it.

That's what it means. The individual replied in the affirmative.

Everything must be considered for the worst. After combining the current information, the collectors agreed that this is an alien civilization with similar technology to them.

Civilization contact is also wild contact, often accompanied by war and killing. This is something the collectors have learned from the history of the Seren people, so they dare not slack off, and even if they believe that the other party will attack the star system Colonial swarms are attacking, and the foragers need to prepare for the coming war,

The preparations for the war are in full swing. Ever since they learned that an alien fleet is going to the colony star system of the gatherers, they have been mobilizing resources like this again.

They don't know whether the alien fleet is friend or foe, so they can only assume the worst, believing that the alien fleet intends to invade their colonized star system.

Quick! Get ready for battle!

The cluster leader urged in the channel, and other members of the same race would also explain to the cluster leader clearly the problems that appeared one after another.

Antimatter! Not enough antimatter resources!

The output of antimatter has been increased, and other industrial giants are suspended, and the production of antimatter giants is fully produced! According to the problem, the leader of the cluster issued an order to the same family, and then thought of another possibility in the later period of the war, and sent a communication to the stars. The same family issued tasks.

Ask for help from other colonial stars! Tell them that our war resources are insufficient! It is very likely that we will lose the battle, so we must be vigilant!

Understood! The same family in charge of the star communication replied.

Subsequently, the cluster leader began to focus on other aspects of affairs.

How is the battle plan going? asked the cluster leader.

The collectors who were making a battle plan answered.

We have already figured out that by adopting the method of sticking to the star system, our resources are more abundant than the opponent, and we have the time and space to deploy, so we can transform the colonized star into a battlefield.

What if their technology is above ours? the cluster leader asked.

In the worst case, we will be crushed by their technology. If that is the case, we will create a supernova explosion and pull them to die with us.

The collectors also considered the gap in technology, not to mention the current star system, because it has not been long since the colonization, the planets have not been dismantled, the number of antimatter giant structures is not enough, and the antimatter reserves are not large, so the antimatter for the Leapfrog biological arm There are also insufficient resources.

Therefore, the collectors feel that they are at a great disadvantage.

Of course, we don't know whether this method of killing each other is effective. The collector who made the battle plan added.

The cluster leader replied, Don't care if it's useful or not, use whatever you think is useful. This alien civilization can sail across the stars just like us. We must be as cautious and overestimated as possible, understand?

understood.

After being affirmed by the group leader, the collectors who made the battle plan began to explain the battle plan in depth.

Then we should do this, arrange the focusing array on the star orbit, and then spread the signal daughters in the star system to lock the enemy fleet with higher precision, and create a large number of mothership creatures...

Wait, are mothership creatures still useful? the swarm leader asked.

A large number of mothership creatures can provide cover for the leaping creatures. The opponent will miscalculate our strength and kill them by surprise.

This is not their home field, so it is difficult to obtain war supplies. In addition to relying on the superiority of technology and the huge combat power, if it is the same technology, our side will have an advantage.
