How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 191 (Don't Want The Name)

More than a thousand years ago, a certain Serene looked up at the sky. At that time, it was still the era of "the round sky". He wondered why the starry sky at night would disappear when it was dawn, and then he pursued the answer to this question Answer.

The priests answered his questions. The night is a cover with holes in it. When the night covers the earth, the sun can only illuminate the earth through the holes in the night.

But this answer can't explain the movement of the stars. This Serene is not a hardworking person, and he has never taken the initiative to find the answer to the question.

Fortunately, his son is such a person, and this is all thanks to his father who is full of questions but too lazy to find answers, and can only ramble on to his own children.

At that time, glass had become popular, and the first astronomical telescope of the Serenians came out.

It was the first time to discover the true colors of various stars, and the grotesque scene in the space shocked all the Serenes at that time, and they glimpsed a trace of the true face hidden under the veil for the first time.

Blasphemers—these astronomical observers were called by the church at the time and judged.

A Serene, relying on an astronomical telescope, opened up a history of turmoil and chaos, and also opened the eyes of his fellow clansmen.

The era of the church has passed, and a new era is coming. Conservatism and constraints are swept away, innovation and opportunities have spawned capital, and the era of great powers has arrived. Various technologies under the suppression of dogma have been developed, and new technological products have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

The giant ship made of steel, riding the wind and waves, achieved what those sailing wooden ships could not do, and completed the first circumnavigation around the world, proving that the land they are on is also the same as those planets in the starry sky.

It was at that time that a question arose among the Serene people—is there a 'world' like them among the many spheres in the sky?

For the first time, the Serenes had the concept of 'alien'.

With the development of electric and magnetic technology, radar, radio communication, computer and other technological products have come out one after another, and they have started various cosmic radio monitoring behaviors.

It turned out that nothing could be received, only the noise left by the big bang.

The Serenes doubted whether the 'aliens' really existed, while another part of the Serenes firmly believed that the aliens' technology was not yet developed enough to use radio.

In the era of great powers, the people of Serin did not have space technology, because at that time there were frequent conflicts between countries, and the heads of state focused on various weapons, and they had no intention to do this kind of deep space, which was basically a waste of money in the early days. Explore, all the way to the Age of Empires.

In the age of empires, unprecedented cohesion, rockets, satellites, manned spaceflight, space stations, orbital cities... The Serinians challenged the constraints of the planet step by step, and broke through it time and time again.

After a long time, the technology has finally accumulated enough. The Serene Man made a probe capable of traveling in deep space, followed a carefully calculated route, saved every bit of fuel, and used a gravitational slingshot to cross the long distance between planets and land on the The planet closest to Celine.

Looking up at the starry sky, then, relying on the power of the machine, the Serene people finally saw the place they wanted to visit.

What caught my eyes was the endless barrenness, not to mention aliens, not even a single plant.

This is undoubtedly a heavy blow, hitting the faces of those Serenes who firmly believe in the existence of aliens, and it is a joke in the public opinion of the empire.

until……

"Director, you said you want to modify the orbital parameters?"

The director who remotely controlled the detector suspected that he heard it wrong, otherwise why would he hear his director ask him to do such a thing?

"I am going to modify it if I say it, so much nonsense!"

The director at the other end of the communicator reprimanded impatiently, and hung up the contact without bothering to explain the reason for the revision to the director.

The director could only deduce the reason based on his own experience, and then he figured it out—the faction that firmly believes in the existence of extraterrestrial life is on the wane. At present, there is only one planet left in the galaxy that has not been explored. Data, the planet that the probe will explore, is an ice giant that is not suitable for life.

Perhaps the director is worried that after this doomed failed exploration, their Imperial Aerospace Institute will be disbanded by the head of state, so artificially create a space accident...

During the shift change, the director seized the right time, found a reason to distract the operators in the operation room, quickly modified the detector's travel route, and proceeded in the direction indicated by the director.

In order to avoid being held accountable, the director compiled a damage report, falsely claiming that he encountered a small meteorite, that the probe was knocked out of its intended orbit, and that it was out of control.

After that, less than a year later, the director was completely confused by a data report given by his subordinates.

There is an extra planet in front of the probe, a planet covered in ice and snow.

The director, who was full of doubts, realized after reading the data about this planet that it was not an ice giant, but another strange planet that was not marked on their galaxy map...

Then, they discovered the 'wormholes' on the white landmarks on the planet. White smoke rose from these 'wormholes', showing the temperature difference between these wormholes and the outside world.

Originally, he was disappointed to see another frozen planet, and the director became interested. According to his experience, this kind of 'wormhole' terrain is obviously a manifestation of the existence of heat sources under the ice layer.

The director became curious. Anyway, the probe was going to be abandoned, so why not use the waste heat to see if the structure of this planet is as he thought.

After several calibrations, the probe fell straight to the surface of the planet, and then the drogue parachute opened to slow down the falling speed.

Because of the false report that time, the director did not dare to order to turn on the reverse propulsion, and the probe plunged into the water under the huge waves.

If the speed is too fast, then the liquid and the solid are actually the same, and the parachute obviously cannot achieve sufficient deceleration, and the water surface is also similar to a solid relative to the detector.

Nearly half of the volume of the detector has become tattered. Thanks to the original design to deal with the harsh environment, the current detector can at least retain the ability to observe and deliver information.

After that, the Serenians discovered what they had been looking for - extraterrestrial life.

The collectors who are still in the form of 'gourd' work hard to support those traitors who copied them and abandoned their 'loyalty' long ago.

A busy little society.
