How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 425 New Home (Part 2)

At a suitable angle, first cross the orbit of the satellite, cut into the orbit of the gas giant, use the gravitational slingshot to decelerate, wait until the speed drops, change the trajectory, and use the gravitational slingshot to continuously stretch the orbit to approach the satellite. The mass of the satellite It is very small, even if Chu is very close, the inertia of Chu itself will ensure that it will not be captured by the satellite's gravity.

When it was the closest to the satellite, Chu threw a piece of meat conceived on his own sail battens towards the satellite. Through the power brought by the throwing plus Chu’s own momentum and positional relationship, the piece of meat easily got rid of the gravitational pull of the gas giant star. Bound towards the target satellite.

The speed of meat is very high. After all, it carries the initial momentum. Although the initial speed drops again and again, its speed is still above the first cosmic speed of all the planets in this star system.

puff!

Totally hard landing with no cushioning behavior at all.

Just like the scene after a watermelon fell from a high altitude, the pieces of meat fell apart after impacting the ground of the satellite, and blood, water, and pieces of meat were splashed everywhere. Mixed with the splashed flesh and blood were spherical titanium-skeleton creatures with a diameter of only one to three centimeters. .

Small size has the advantage of small size, that is, high strength, this kind of impact will not harm these spherical titanium skeleton creatures, strength and scale are linked, the smaller the scale, the higher the strength, plus the internal non-Newton Due to the action of fluid biomass, the vitality of these tiny titanium skeletal creatures was shaped to be extremely tenacious, and simple physical impacts could not kill them.

The kind of impact just now, if it were replaced by a manned spaceship, would have been smashed to pieces long ago, but these small organisms don't need to worry too much about this problem because they are small enough.

Small creatures fall on the ground like raindrops, and the low-gravity environment will throw them far away, and may even circle the satellite for a week. The structure of the ball will allow them to continue rolling for a period of time after landing due to the terrain, until they roll down to where they are fixed.

After landing, the collectors immediately changed their genetic information, expressing the genes in the cytoplasm, recycling the high molecular polymers in the cytoplasm, and adding methane, which has a condensation limit of -182.5 degrees Celsius.

This kind of material is necessary, the surface temperature of the satellite is very low, and it is conservatively estimated that it is at least below minus 160 degrees Celsius.

Waiting for the self-adjustment to be completed, a multicellular organism that is only 3% of the size of a flea carefully climbed out of the hollow of the spherical titanium alloy creature, and crawled to the outside to mine materials.

Added methane keeps their cytoplasm from freezing, and cold hibernation ensures membrane activity.

The multicellular organisms dragged the material macromolecules back to those spherical titanium-skeleton organisms in accordance with Chu’s prior instructions, handed them over to analyze the material information, and then communicated with each other by radio, deduced the composition and structure of the main body of the planet, and gave Chu Feedback.

Waiting for Chu to circle the gas giant again, and when he approaches the satellite, he will learn the information delivered by the spherical titanium skeleton creatures.

"The main resource distribution of this planet is solid ice and liquid methane. The atmosphere is so thin that it does not exist. There is no atmospheric pressure. Other resources are still under investigation."

When I received this information, I decided to take root on this satellite for the simple reason that the resources are abundant.

Methane is CH4, which can be used as fuel, and can also be disassembled to obtain carbon elements. The main body of the biotechnology of the collectors is very dependent on the three elements of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Coupled with the low-gravity environment, this satellite is very Matters serve as a planet for the early development of ethnic groups.

Changing the angle of the light sail, using a gravitational slingshot, it first fell to this low-gravity planet at an oblique angle, and slid for a long distance along the way. The light sail at the tail also broke during this violent landing, but These are all trivial matters. Ordinary lifeforms may lament the damage of a certain part of their body, but the collectors don't need to do this. They have enough ability to allow themselves to mess around like this.

With a life structure strong enough to withstand a megaton-level nuclear explosion, Chu Chu was basically safe except for the damage to the light sail.

The genes that had been changed long before landing began to take effect at this time. Chu began to form a cocoon on this extremely cold planet, and the sarcoma continued to expand and shrink. Frozen into an ice sculpture on the planet, it can still maintain life.

Not long after, with the increase of material absorption, the sarcoma also expanded, and slowly completed the evolution process of its new body, it became a hive, and extended the rhizome to the sun-facing side of the satellite, from there Subtle stellar lighting can be obtained.

Due to the tidal force locked by the gas giant star, the satellite does not rotate, only revolves, so the light-facing side can continue to irradiate the light of the star for a long time, and use these photons from the star to perform photochemical processing, and dismantle water molecules by gaining and losing electrons. Open to hydrogen and oxygen.

Then consume a certain amount of nutrients, and continue to breed some collectors at the beginning. They transform into rhizomes to open underground cavities underground, and inject oxygen and methane into airtight, as a combustion chamber to provide heat for the group.

Combustion will cause the internal gas to expand, and the increase in heat will explode the entire combustion chamber. I also thought of this at first, so I opened a cavity on the other side of the combustion chamber and connected it to the combustion chamber. The connecting channel is another mechanical structure. The spring valve is opened and closed, and the temperature of the expanding gas gushing out of the combustion chamber will be very high. At this time, dead things are more handy to use than living things.

Because the satellite's own environment, the atmospheric pressure is close to zero, so after opening the cavity, there is no need to exhaust the gas at first. The cavity is originally an extremely low pressure environment. After everything is prepared, the combustion chamber is immediately ignited to create temperature.

The design was successful when the first jet of scorching carbon dioxide gas gushed from the spring valve into the low-pressure cavity.

Energy is the cornerstone of the development of the ethnic group. Without energy, development is out of the question. Now that the methane combustion chamber is established, it means that the ethnic group has established a firm foothold on this planet. What remains to be done is to further expand its advantages and let the The population in this star system has become even larger, completely occupying this star system!

Thinking of this, Chu unconsciously raises his gaze to the direction of the star. It never forgets the mission given to it by the clan leader. There is no way to use the nearby stars, so it has to travel five light-years to come here.

Thinking of the group planning information received during this long journey, I couldn't help but put away my relaxed attitude at first.

"We still need to hurry up and bring more resources to the ethnic group. The ethnic group needs antimatter."
