How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 804 Construction of Superluminal Megastructure

The dazzling light was released, and a large structure broke away from the superluminal speed and appeared in a star system. This structure is exactly the cluster of collectors sharing the same gravitational ring.

The collectors who entered the star system immediately diffused radar waves to scan the internal environment of the destination star system.

Circles of radar waves spread at the speed of light, completing the scan of the star system environment within a few hours, and feeding back the information of each celestial body to the collector cluster.

A four-body star system with eight planets and two gaseous planets...

The material abundance is much higher than expected. It seems that this star system is likely to be formed by the merger of two double stars, or a single star and three stars.

The latter is more likely, and the stars in the binary star system are too massive to form too many planets.

Search for satellites first. This kind of low-gravity star has low mining difficulty and quick access to resources. We don't have so much time to waste.

The target has been selected, and it is about four light minutes away from our current distance.

Set off!

The leader of the cluster issued instructions, and the cluster as a whole moved towards the destination four light minutes away from them at the speed of light.

Different from sub-light-speed navigation, this kind of light-speed navigation realized by space-time distortion will not cause scale effect. How much time has passed in the outside world, how much time has passed by the collectors, passing time (t) X speed (V ) = formula for distance(s), pre-planning the distance they will travel.

Four minutes later, the harvesters reached a close orbit of a moon of the gas giant.

The cluster dropped a large number of meat-like organisms and a nuclear fusion furnace towards the satellite. The collectors that were released completed the landing on the satellite by virtue of their own softness. They began to build honeycombs on the spot, and then relied on the nuclear fusion furnace to Form the material circulation network, disassemble and combine the chemical substances needed by various clusters.

Deep pits are excavated on the satellite, and a mixed solution that is not easy to condense is filled inside, and the liquid metal hydrogen necessary for the construction of the gravitational ring is produced with the help of liquid pressure.

One after another, biological rockets rise from the ground, using liquid methane and other combustible substances as fuel, carrying processed liquid metal hydrogen and other chemical substances into the universe.

The biological rockets gathered in the near-orbit of the satellite and gradually evolved into eight large pieces of meat. The large ring structure was conceived and spliced ​​in the constantly expanding and shrinking pieces of meat. It took five days to build the prototype of the ring. It is expected that the gravitational ring will be completed eventually. The scale will be four times the size of the gravitational rings currently used by gatherer clusters.

On the seventh day after the circular track was completed, the collectors accelerated the energy of the particles in the ring. After three days, the particle acceleration ring shrank by half, forming a gravitational ring.

Then, eight gravitational rings are arranged in a row to form a long cylindrical array, and based on the gravitational rings, a superluminal mechanism is constructed.

Calculated by earth time, it took about fourteen days for the collectors to finally complete the construction task, and they built a pressure giant structure that can exceed the speed of light.

However, before the collectors had time to celebrate too much, they observed changes in the brightness of the stars.

Collectors are all too familiar with this kind of change in the brightness of stars. This is the scythe of death, and it is the precursor of an impending supernova explosion!

leave!

The leader of the cluster ordered without hesitation, and the fellows on the satellite were abandoned without the slightest nostalgia. The cluster and the pressure giant structure that had not been completed for a long time entered superluminal speed and went to other star systems.

With the explosion of a star in the four-body star system, a terrifying gamma-ray burst was released, disintegrating all stars except other stars within a few hours, no matter whether it was as large as a planet or as small as a meteorite. spared.

They are not saddened by the death of their own kind. Collectors are not like humans. After arriving in a new star system, Dang even began to get familiar with the environment in the star system, and then began to mine resources.

This time with the pressure giant structure, the collectors headed straight for a gas giant, and left a fist-sized lump of flesh in the close orbit of the gas giant.

Then, the cluster goes to the asteroid belt in the star system, and from there continuously brings a large amount of material resources to the meat.

The piece of meat expands and builds a large-scale space biological platform. A straw hangs down from the platform to the gas giant below, and the internal fusion reactor supplies energy to the biological pump to pump up the inner gas of the gas giant.

The pumped gas will be sorted and purified by cells, and then sent to the pressure giant structure by category.

The pressure megastructure that gets the hydrogen will transfer the hydrogen to the pipeline formed by the gravitational ring at its front end, and compress the hydrogen into liquid metal hydrogen with the help of the strong gravitational force of the gravitational ring.

Similarly, if it is helium, it will be sent to the gravitational ring to be compressed into solid helium.

It took about a week, and the production was on the right track. The gaseous collection giant that can extract the gaseous giant gas was also equipped with a gravitational ring, so that it has the ability to exceed the speed of light.

The cluster began to build new giant structures in full swing.

There are a lot of materials produced, and the production capacity of the giant structure has always been very efficient, but it is a problem to carry these materials, so the collectors built a storage giant structure, a giant structure specially used to store material resources.

The construction of this biological giant is not as troublesome as the pressure giant and the gaseous collection giant. Its internal structure is not complicated, and it only needs to be equipped with a set of superluminal organs.

Compared with other giant structures, the most notable feature of the storage giant structure is its long keel and single gravitational ring.

The diameter of the gravitational ring is very large, and the keel extends backwards, which is a circle of skeletons, used to support a huge volume. Attached to the bio-metal skeleton is the negative matter pipeline. Through these pipelines, the energy layer of the gravitational ring is filtered out. The negative matter transferred to the rear is used to distort space-time and move faster than the speed of light.

The storage giant is internally equipped with a single large-scale fission reactor and a small amount of biological impulses for steering. The main performance pursuit of collectors for it is to store materials, so the internal life support cycle is compressed and simplified to the extreme. The space inside the organism To maximize the utilization, the movement basically depends on distorting time and space, and the turning is completed by biological pulse.

Although the structure is simple, due to the huge amount of resources required, the cluster concentrated all its energy to complete the storage giant, which took about twenty days to complete.

After the completion, the cluster of collectors selects a certain satellite, and begins to exploit the material resources of the satellite in large quantities, and loads them into the storage giant.

After maintaining the state of resource production and material collection for twelve days, the brightness of the stars began to change again.

The collectors who knew the attack was coming stopped all their current missions without hesitation, and collectively entered the superluminal speed, heading for the new destination star that had been prepared long ago.
