How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 214 Expedition to the Other Side

"Ming, I'm leaving."

【You really want to do this? Is it too aggressive? Perhaps it can be given full power to the perpetuals to carry out. 】

"No, I don't trust them to do it completely."

"We must act first before those aliens organize a new round of offensive."

Huogu replied decisively, whether it is a weapon or a cosmic organism, everything is ready, and the only thing left is to attack. You can't hesitate, and you will lose if you hesitate.

At this time, in the low-earth orbit, a huge monster has begun to take shape, with a body of several hundred kilometers covering the sky and the sun. The cosmic creatures independently designed by the collectors are not even qualified to be ants beside it. It was the mothership creature that Huogu designed based on the alien mothership as a template.

This starry sky behemoth has not been completely completed, but the main keel and energy reactor are basically completed, and the remaining parts can be fully completed during the rush.

[Since you are so persistent, I can only wish you a successful expedition, but unfortunately I can't help you any more. 】

"It's okay Ming, you've helped me enough, leave the rest to me. I will return with victory and wait for my good news."

After a brief farewell, Huogu gave orders to the mothership creature as its thinking carrier. At the nozzle at the tail, the crystal is energized to release heat rays, which focus on the metal hydrogen. The high temperature promotes the vaporization and sublimation of the metal hydrogen, which becomes a gas for a short time. Finally, a plasma state is formed, and then charged particles are ejected from the tail by the action of an electrostatic field.

That's right, this is the pulse engine of the aliens, and it is also Huogu's technology now. It is necessary to reproduce the internal structure of the sample, understand its operating principle, and then make biological adjustments to turn the non-propellant propulsion technology into its own use. A matter of course.

The hot tail flames lit up, and the huge mothership creature broke free from the gravitational constraints of the orbit, slowly opened the distance between it and Ming, and gradually sailed towards the distant target star.

During the sailing process, Huogu's attention was focused on the biological pulse at the tail of the mothership creature. This was the expedition against aliens, but at the same time, it was also the first trial voyage of the mothership creature.

According to Huogu's idea, while on the expedition, by the way, it will be used as a test voyage to solve many problems encountered together. Anyway, with its ability, as long as there is no shortage of materials, there will be no major problems.

If there is any part of the biological body of the mothership that worries Huogu the most, it is the part of the biological pulse, which is the pulse propulsion technology obtained from the alien and successfully bio-transformed.

The essence of this technology is to trap a mass of plasma, and then use an electric field to peel off the charged particles to emit. This is naturally no problem for machinery, but for living organisms... You know, in order to ensure sufficient pulse thrust, The temperature of the plasma is constant at around fifteen thousand degrees Celsius.

In order to resist such high temperatures, Huogu used hafnium alloy bones as the inner wall, with a hafnium carbide coating on the surface, coupled with liquid nitrogen flowing in the capillaries to cool down, so as to ensure that the propulsion organs encapsulating plasma would not be burned due to high temperature, and the outermost wrapping With a thick insulation layer, mothership organisms will not be affected by the high temperature, which is theoretically very safe.

However, Huogu is not at ease. After all, it is only theoretically safe. In fact, whether there will be any mistakes can only be known through real trials. Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth.

Now that there is no abnormality confirmed with his own eyes, Huo Gu can finally relax about the biological pulse and concentrate on other things.

As a living body, the daily expenses of the Mothership creature are very high. After all, the cells all over the body are waiting for the nutrients delivered by the blood to maintain life.

Fortunately, with the fission reactor as the energy core, it is not difficult to use temperature-sensitive cells to produce nutrients.

However, Hogu didn't just rely on the fission reactor to obtain nutrients, otherwise the pressure on the fission reactor would be too great.

Huogu also added some moss-like biological tissues on the surface of the mothership organisms, which can produce nutrients for the mothership organisms through photosynthesis. It can be said that as long as there is light, the mothership organisms will not starve to death, even if there is no light. Relying on nuclear fission to maintain life activities for a long time, this does not include low-energy modes such as hibernation.

When Huo Gu checked the conditions of the mothership's creatures, a collector who was a brain split asked.

"Will, why don't we organize a large group and directly attack the enemy's home planet, but go to a planet with nothing."

This time their destination is not the alien's home planet Serene, but an earth-like planet between the orbits of the two planets Serene and Ming.

The collector didn't understand why the destination of the voyage was such an irrelevant planet, since the Supreme Will's strategy was clearly aimed at the aliens.

"Because there is a star between us and the alien's home star, that used to be our advantage in defending against the aliens, and it is also an obstacle to our attack now."

"The stars will hinder radio communication, there is no relay, and the large swarm attacking the enemy across the stars will not be able to maintain communication with Ming. What will be the consequences of disconnecting the communication? I don't need to explain in detail, right?"

"In addition, after circumnavigating the star, due to the great illumination of the star, the backlight will inevitably form a large area of ​​shadow. The large cluster that has just passed the star will be spotted by the enemy immediately and become a living target. Back then, we were able to detect and lock the star that passed the star in time. The Alien Fleet also relies on this feature."

"Aliens stepped on the same pit, we can't follow suit, we have to learn from others' lessons."

Huo Gu patiently explained his strategic intentions to the collectors.

"But... what does this have to do with going to that planet? What are we going to do there?" the collector asked.

"Occupying that planet will give us a frontier to attack the Alien's home planet. It is obviously impossible for the Alien who has the resources of an entire planet to be completely defeated by us at once. We need to be prepared for a protracted war."

"Starting from that planet to attack the aliens, you don't need to worry about the influence from the stars, and the route is obviously much shorter. As the planet revolves, the distance between the aliens' home planet will be further shortened, and you can attack and retreat. , can also be used as a logistical supply for the rear, so this voyage has very important strategic significance."

"So that's how it is."

The collector showed sudden emotions, it was born not long ago, unlike those of the perpetual race, its thoughts are meticulous and complicated, and it is not very good at looking at one thing from multiple perspectives.

"Oh, by the way, there is another more important reason. After using that planet as a forward position, it will attract the strategic attention of aliens. For Ming, it can be regarded as a disguised protection. It has already done it for us. Enough is enough, there is no need to put it in danger."
