How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 426 Expansion! expansion! expansion!

The carbon dioxide exhaust gas produced by the combustion chamber is not useless. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas with inactive chemical properties and high thermal stability. Only 1.8% of it is decomposed at 2000°C, which means it can carry a high temperature of up to 2,000°C. The characteristic is an excellent heat carrier.

At the beginning, a large number of underground cavities were opened, and the carbon dioxide was introduced into it. As long as there are enough cavities to accommodate carbon dioxide and ensure that no flow occurs, the overall temperature of the satellite will gradually increase.

But this will also lead to a problem, that is, the passage of liquid methane on the satellite. It is precisely because the temperature is lower than -161.5 degrees Celsius that methane will liquefy, but now the overall temperature of the satellite is rising, and the gravity of the satellite cannot lock these Gaseous methane, methane will slowly flow into the vacuum of space.

"This is not possible. Now is the development stage, and every bit of resources cannot be wasted."

Of course, I don’t want to see such a mood happen at the beginning. It continues to place group individuals, and assigns these group individuals to other positions on the satellite, and takes root in those places to transform into a honeycomb and expand the rhizomes. A large number of roots densely wrap and bind the surface of the satellite. , the silver-white appearance changes the skin color of the rhizome, and the gaps in the rhizome are filled with organic materials, which can be regarded as completely sealing off the path of methane spillage.

The collectors on this planet are like greedy gluttons, and they don't want to let go of any resources to eat up this satellite.

With this layer of external wrapping, many things are much more convenient to do, at least the temperature can be raised arbitrarily without worrying about the consequences.

The size of the satellite is very small, so the core of the satellite has already cooled down. The collectors use the rhizomes to penetrate vertically and continuously mine and expand the internal space. The materials are processed into organic materials to reproduce a large number of individuals of the same family, and these individuals of the same family are fed back. into the production sequence.

The cold ice melted into liquid due to the increase in overall temperature, which caused a large area of ​​landslides, but this was not a problem for the collectors, it was just landslides, and they had all seen more serious natural disasters.

Under Chu's instructions, a large number of rhizomes spread into the stratum. This is not for mining, but to fix the stratum so that landslides will no longer occur. Small difficulties have been conquered in this way.

"Hurry up, everyone, the ethnic group needs more resources."

"good!"

After all, the combustion chamber is not a long-term solution. The consumption of methane is huge. Collectors need a nuclear reactor, whether it is nuclear fission or nuclear fusion, as long as it is a reactor.

But on this planet, there is no radioactive material, and there are very few heavy metals, and only some solid iron exists in the cooled core.

At the beginning, it fell into deep thought. It is thinking about whether to conduct interplanetary voyage now. It likes to do it in one step. Since it is going to conduct interplanetary voyage, it must complete the occupation of the planet and mine the resources on the planet. There is no failure. Reason, it does not like to waste resources because of failure, every resource belongs to the ethnic group, waste is blasphemy.

"How about resource extraction?"

Initially asked in the life field channel.

"The size of the satellite is small, and the difficulty of mining is not high. Now it is almost coming to an end, and the rest is just the dismantling and processing of some materials that take time."

"Methane and other substances are sorted and stored as material reserves."

"I think we can already carry out the expansion of other planets, and the race needs us to complete the construction quickly."

When I heard the proposal to speed up the construction in the channel, I hesitated at first, and it was a dilemma between frugality and speeding up.

"But it's a waste of time if you fail, or should you wait until you have accumulated more resources?"

"It is not recommended to wait. Burning methane to obtain heat is too wasteful. We must obtain enough uranium-235 elements as soon as possible. The group needs a reactor."

"Okay, the minority obeys the majority, and now prepare for the interplanetary voyage."

After a simple communication, all the collectors reached an agreement. Unlike humans and Serenes, the collectors have no concept of internal strife except those betrayers, and they will not argue because of their different ideas. Maybe they will There are different ideas, but soon these different ideas will reach mutual understanding without sharp contradictions.

At the beginning, they began to set up high-power radars, using this large-scale biological radar entrenched on the ground, to calculate the distance between the planets to be reached and them through pulses back and forth.

Then, based on this distance, start to prepare resources. This is not a single colonization of a planet. In order to speed up the pace of expansion, it is a colony voyage of several planets at the same time. Therefore, the amount of data that needs to be processed is relatively large, and the mobilization of resources is also very important. It will take a lot of time.

But it's worth it, in terms of overall time, it takes less time than colonizing planet by planet.

Because of his rich experience, Chu decided to hand over the stall of this satellite to other people of the same race, and continue to sail as a colony of the race.

During the preparation period, the collectors not only need to make material preparations, but also prepare for the colonization consciousness. To put it bluntly, on the entire planet, only Chu Chu has practiced, and the other collectors are only born not long ago. There is no way to flexibly use genetic knowledge. At this time, it is necessary to transfer experience to them at the beginning, and understand the matters that need to be paid attention to in colonization.

To put it simply, it's just one sentence - don't be reckless if you can't do anything.

This is the lesson the collectors learned through the first forced colonization of a gas giant. The success that time was entirely dependent on luck, and it would be hard to say the next time.

Time passed quickly, and this was due to the efforts of the collectors. In order to catch up with the time, the collectors increased their preparation speed as much as possible, and met the challenge of the long-distance voyage in the most complete state.

On the surface of the dark-brown rhizome, there are long and huge biological rockets. They are undergoing final adjustments, and the lateral biological propulsion is properly activated to ensure that these parts can be used smoothly.

They don't worry if they are damaged, but it will be more troublesome.

"Is everyone ready?"

"alright!"

"Finally, I'm talking about things that need to be paid attention to!"

"Don't be reckless if you can't do anything!"

"Yes, let's go!"

With Chu's order, the bio-rockets that the collectors changed slowly lifted into the air under the propulsion of the tail. Due to the satellite's own mass, the gravitational force is not strong. At the beginning, they easily got rid of the constraints of gravitational force on them. , sailing towards their respective destination planets.

The deep starry sky is illuminated by their shining tail flame jets, as if there are hundreds of dazzling stars among the stars.
