How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 725 Successful Invasion

Objects smaller than the previous fake meteorites were launched from the cluster, pointing directly at the gaseous planet at the outermost edge of the star system where the X people lived.

Halfway through the flight to the destination planet, the object unfolded an umbrella-like structure and ejected a tiny amount of ions against the direction of travel.

Ion deceleration propulsion is a propulsion method with obvious advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is high specific impulse, that is, the high utilization rate of fuel energy. The disadvantage is that the thrust per unit time is small.

It is precisely because of the shortcomings of ion propulsion that the object will start to decelerate early in the middle of the journey. According to calculations, ion propulsion will continue to decelerate for a long time in the middle, which will make the speed of the object when it is about to reach the destination planet. down to the safe range.

However, collectors designed ion propulsion to decelerate objects precisely because they took a fancy to the shortcomings of ion propulsion. Small thrust per unit time also means small energy released per unit time, which will be excellent in thermal imaging radars. Covert effect.

After all, electromagnetic waves weaken with the propagation distance, and there is a phenomenon of energy decline. The tiny electromagnetic waves released by ion propulsion have been submerged in the electromagnetic waves of the cosmic background before they are received by the two civilizations in the star system.

After approaching the outermost planet, the object deflected its course and headed towards one of the planet's moons, eventually crashing on top of the atmosphereless moon.

The satellite material is mined and transferred into the universe to create fake meteorites with a diameter between ten kilometers and twenty kilometers, varying in size.

After the number reached 10,000, the collectors activated the ion propulsion on the fake meteorites they settled in, and the mighty meteorite group began to move towards the second orbital planet, the rocking star where the X people lived.

During the fake meteor shower, the spy individuals inside the meteorite began to reorganize their genes, turning themselves into multiple tiny individuals. The largest tiny individual was only equivalent to the size of a human thumb. These tiny individuals had a layer of extremely high-strength polymer carapace on the outside. , and is extremely resistant to acid and alkali. It has a solid helium cube and an ultra-miniature antimatter reactor, and the reactor contains 0.1 grams of antimatter.

When the meteorite shower traveled to three quarters of the entire journey, the space units anchored in the close orbit of the rocking star began to move.

I saw that the other party disappeared suddenly, and then appeared at a place more than a thousand kilometers away from the side of the meteorite shower as if teleported. This distance is very short in space.

As early as the operation began, the collectors expected that the space units anchored in the close orbit of the planet would take action against the meteorite rain. The size of the meteorites is more than ten kilometers, and the free fall hits the ground, even if it is a single one. , are enough to change the global climate, and now there are 10,000, the shock wave alone can sweep the world.

It is not too much to say that the meteorite rain created by the collectors is a cosmic natural disaster that can destroy the surface ecology of a planet.

However, although the collectors expected that the opponent would intercept the meteorite, they did not expect how it would be intercepted. The opponent's teleportation ability was something they had never expected, so they were worried that the plan would be disrupted.

However, even though the collectors were worried, they could not communicate with their fellows in other meteorites, because there would be a great possibility of exposure. The meteorites had to keep silent from the moment they set off, and there was no longer any radio communication, so as not to be caught. The other party received that these space units are only more than a thousand kilometers away from them. As long as the other party has radio signal receiving technology, the collective communication between the collectors will inevitably be discovered.

The collectors finally decided to proceed according to the original plan. The ion propulsion was shut down and dismantled, and all traces of life in the fake meteorite were erased, and then shrunk to the center of the fake meteorite. Except for external observation, they did not target the meteorite that came to intercept it. Rain's space unit takes any action.

With the help of the light from the stars, the collectors vaguely observed that these space biological units released some things from the meteor collectors. The specifics were unclear, and those things were too small.

However, the collectors soon found out.

After these objects flew for a period of time, they came into contact with meteorites, and a series of explosions occurred, and some extremely corrosive liquids corroded some meteorites into a liquid state.

The lasers that the collectors had expected did not appear. Those space units released some kind of corrosive explosives. More than 10,000 meteorites with a volume of more than ten kilometers were blown into millions of small fragments. , the tiny individuals gathered in the center of the fake meteorite were also dispersed and mixed among the fragments of the meteorite due to the explosion.

The overall direction of travel of these fragments has not changed due to the destruction, because the gravitational force of the planet itself plus the strong inertia carried by the original large meteorite period, the fragments are still moving towards the second orbiting planet.

It's just that there is no threat now. If small fragments cannot reach the planet's ground, they will be vaporized due to atmospheric friction, while smaller fragments will reach a balance between air resistance and falling speed, even if they fall on the ground. Comparable to the power of a nuclear bomb, at most it is equivalent to the power of a bullet.

Just when the collectors thought that these space units would leave, they did not expect that the space units released many small space units. These small space units formed a group and moved towards the meteorite fragment group.

It seems that in order to investigate the situation of the meteorite rain, the small space unit just ran around in the meteorite debris group.

These small creatures have no way to find the collectors. The smallest fragments are equivalent to the size of a human head. Tiny individuals with the size of a thumb are really not enough to attract attention in the vast space of the universe.

Even if it is switched to thermal imaging, it cannot be distinguished. Although the tiny individuals have their own body temperature, due to the bombing of the meteorite, the fragments of the meteorite also have residual heat that has not yet dissipated.

Some tiny individuals, looking at the right time, quietly attached to the outer carapaces of these small creatures. There are no nerve endings on the carapaces, so there is no sense of touch.

A single-cell hole is dug out on the carapace through chemical coordination, and then the tiny individual changes its life form, transforms into a plurality of single-cell homogeneous species, drills in from the hole, and carefully avoids the nerves of small organisms Fibers, disguised as normal humoral cells in organisms, evade the immune system and complete the invasion concealment task.

This is part of the gatherers' plan.

After searching for nothing, the small biological group returned to the large biological body, and brought the collectors into the large biological body along the way.

The remaining tiny individuals, together with the meteorite fragments, fell towards the surface of the destination planet.

The meteorite fragments fall and turn into red lotus arrows. The vaporized material flow is dragged behind, like the arrow body. With the high temperature brought by the friction with the atmosphere, these meteorite fragments will be heated by the high temperature before they fall to the ground. Vaporize and merge with the planet's atmosphere.

However, the tiny individuals mixed in the meteorite fragments don’t need to worry about this problem. They are too small, and the atmospheric resistance and gravitational force will no longer provide the tiny individuals with falling acceleration after they accelerate to a certain level. Therefore, the impact of atmospheric friction The degree will not be very strong, and there will be no high temperature problems.

Expanding the resistance plate, the falling speed of the tiny individual further decreased, and finally, at the moment it reached the ground, nothing happened except for smashing a small hole on the ground with the same volume as the tiny individual.

After observing the surroundings with eyes and confirming that there is no abnormality, the tiny individual grows a few pairs of articulated feet, burying the small hole it made, and travels to the distance by changing the camouflage color.
