How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 417 Gas Colonization

A large number of seeds across the void, they shoulder the mission, expedition to a gaseous giant star in the star system, this is a journey of narrow escape, each seed is very clear, although through remote observation and parameter reasoning, before departure they are basically The general situation of the destination planet has been grasped, but the problem is that the observation is just an observation, and no one can tell the details of the destination unless they have experienced it personally.

A violent environment like a gas giant, even if it is just a little bit of an accident, is very likely to become a cause of fatal destruction - from the same race, I fully understand the difficulty of the initial colonization of the gas giant, and all the seeds They all firmly hold such a cognition.

The journey is boring. In order to avoid the Serenians being aware of it, the seeds flying in the void cannot actively send radio signals.

It is very difficult for the people of Serene to detect the movement of such a small group of seeds in the vast space. They are not afraid of 10,000 or just in case. Exposure of their whereabouts is harmful to the ethnic group and must be eliminated. Instead of believing in the so-called The probability is not as good as directly eliminating the possibility of being discovered fundamentally.

After a period of time like this, the seeds saw the destination planet, a gaseous giant star surrounded by three satellites, one of which was the planet that had previously signed an agreement with the Serenes to send envoys.

While watching the gray-brown moon with no atmosphere, the seeds approached the parent planet of this planetary system.

Soon, they crossed the orbits of the three satellites and reached a distance quite close to the gas giant, but this distance is still very far away, about three times the circumference of the earth's equator, which gives the seeds enough time.

The seeds use their own small reserves of solid hydrogen to propel, deflect their own trajectory, and enter the atmosphere of the gas giant star at a circumscribed angle, reversing the direction of the planet's rotation.

High-speed friction brings heat, because it enters in reverse, so the resistance they encounter is stronger, and the violent friction with the mixed gas composed of a large amount of ammonia and hydrogen causes the external temperature of the seeds to be extremely high, if this situation was not expected earlier Dedicate a lot of space to the insulated section below, and the seeds will be thoroughly cooked in half a minute.

A minute after entering the atmosphere of the gas giant, the seeds opened their barriers to increase drag and slow their descent.

Just like the name of the 'barrier umbrella', this kind of thing is an umbrella-shaped structure, which is the same principle as the parachute used by humans. After opening, the seeds transform into 'mushrooms'.

The strong inertia was counteracted by the resistance ten minutes after the barrier umbrella was opened, and the seeds quickly changed direction under the influence of the turbulent airflow in the atmosphere and drifted with the current.

Until now, it was all in the pre-departure plan, and the progress was very smooth, but the seeds still did not dare to be careless. According to the plan, they began to obtain wind energy while drifting with the current.

There are many holes on their columnar body, densely packed in a large area. These holes are big and small, the big ones are the size of a fist, and the small ones are only about half a centimeter. However, no matter how big or small they are, their function is the same, that is, to convert wind energy into electrical energy.

The specific principle is similar to the wind-flow vegetation in the gaseous biosphere. They both use fluid mechanics. The high-speed airflow will pass through the hole. tendency.

When the gas flows through these holes of the seed at high speed, the inward attraction of the holes is used to stimulate the humoral cells on the wall of the holes, causing them to surge faster due to being squeezed, and then obtain bioelectricity based on this kinetic energy.

The seeds themselves are a miniature honeycomb. After capturing the substances inside the gas giant, they can process the substances, such as sugars and amino acids, with the help of electrical energy.

This is a necessary link. After all, the gas giant is not a suitable place to form a large amount of amino acids, and the seeds must process organic materials from scratch.

Continuously obtain substances, and then continue to process them. When the organic materials accumulate to a certain extent, the seeds will use these organic materials to change themselves and expand their shapes, and then continue to collect substances, and so on.

When they reach a certain level, they will change their form and transform into floating island creatures, serving as the cornerstone of the entire gaseous biosphere.

After continuing to accumulate biological energy for a period of time, they began to breed giant beast creatures in their bodies, and these romantic creatures that could serve as windshields were also essential.

After waiting for the giant beast creatures to reach a certain size, the floating island creatures will excrete the giant beast creatures from the body and let them suffer from the wind and flow. Some failed to adapt to the environment and failed to survive, while others survived and survived. Those of the remaining will continue to be nurtured by the floating island organisms outside the body.

These are all collectors, they are all equipped with intelligence, and they are not the same as the gaseous biosphere, because the Gaia creatures in the gaseous biosphere are not the form expected by the Supreme Will, so the collectors do not regard it as the final form of their own species development , only as a basis for reference.

Waiting for the number of behemoth creatures to accumulate enough to form a behemoth biome, the colonists of this planet initially obtained the ability to resist the strong wind currents of the planet.

But this is not enough, they will continue to expand their population, and even spread to the entire gaseous planet, bringing all the resources of this planet into the use of the population.

With the increase in the number of giant beast creatures and floating island creatures, the scope of the Zephyr Zone gradually expanded, and then a new type of creature was bred.

Their appearance is similar to jellyfish, and their size is far beyond that of floating island creatures and giant beast creatures. At the same time, they do not have bones and belong to soft-bodied creatures.

Its size is its only advantage. In addition, it is inferior to floating island creatures and giant beast creatures in terms of ability. Jellyfish creatures have no self-production ability. It is too soft and not suitable for a place with stable production capacity, so it Can't compare to floating island creatures.

The giant beast creature is also inferior. The giant beast creature is already the most perfect combination of strength and body size. If the size is enlarged, it is not suitable for existence in the planet's atmosphere, otherwise it will inevitably sink.

The jellyfish creature abandoned the life structure of heavier substances such as bones, in exchange for a lighter weight to be retained in the atmospheric environment, but this also meant a decrease in strength, and the jellyfish creature could not even bear the existence of giant beasts. Planetary strong currents against which organisms resist.

However, this does not mean that the jellyfish creature is waste, it has its own meaning of existence, and the collectors will not waste a huge amount of resources to create a useless thing, which is a blasphemy to the ethnic group.

The huge body of the jellyfish is just a suitable energy storage unit. After the floating island organisms have produced a large amount of organic materials and various elemental resources, they can transfer these materials to the jellyfish to reduce their workload.

Thus, the three foundations of the moving base on the gaseous planet are completed.
