How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 477 Expansion and Missions

"At the beginning, the results are out."

"Let me take a look." After receiving the information from the same race and browsing it, it couldn't help being surprised by the content of the information, "310 light years? Did you calculate it wrong? The empire does not have super-light speed technology."

The empire's seed plan was implemented some time after the end of the Battle of Red Hell, and it was a while before that battle, but it was far from three hundred and ten years. That is to say, the seeds traveling at sub-light speed It is absolutely impossible to be in a place as far as three hundred and ten light years away.

In this regard, the collector who made the report gave an explanation.

"In the beginning, the seed was always moving at sub-light speed, and if we want to catch up with it, we must reach a higher sub-light speed than the seed speed, and such a high speed will be a great consumption of resources Therefore, we simply gave up the idea of ​​chasing, and directly calculated the gravitational potential energy of which star system the seed would be captured by, and thus obtained the current coordinates."

"So that's how it is." Chu expressed his understanding.

Collectors don’t have any humane spirit. It’s one thing to agree to the empire’s search for seeds, but it’s another thing to be able to find them. This matter itself is not considered very important from the collector’s side, and there is no need to invest in it. It is worthwhile to search for a Serene.

Moreover, on such a large and distant scale, encountering obstacles such as nebula bodies, meteorite fragments, or ice blocks, it would be a devastating end. The seeds of the empire did not have antimatter shields like sub-light speed creatures to block them. Ahead, even a grain of sand can cause penetrating damage.

The real interstellar voyage is full of risks. If the protection is insufficient, you need enough luck to make up for this deficiency. Otherwise, a bad one may give up your life on the interstellar voyage. The farther the voyage distance , the greater the risk.

From the very beginning, the chances of Serene's survival inside the seed were very slim.

"Then, have you investigated the star system and the route to get there?"

Although I don't really believe that the seeds of the empire are still intact, the search still needs to be searched. After all, this is a task after all, so I asked this question at the beginning.

Collectors began delivering observational data for that star system to Chu.

"It's all been investigated. It's a large and small binary star system. The big one is a blue dwarf with a radius twice that of the main star of our current star system. The small one is a yellow dwarf with a radius seventy times that of the blue dwarf. One, because of the large mass gap, the yellow dwarf acts as a companion star and orbits the blue dwarf periodically."

"With three planets, two high-temperature gaseous states, one high-temperature solid state, the radiation intensity of the blue dwarf is high, the distance between the planet and the blue dwarf is not far enough, and the heat is accumulated on it. Since its internal energy is high enough, we speculate that its internal Atmospheric sub-atmospheric pressure will be a more dangerous value."

These are the astronomical observations of the collectors in recent years, combined with the astronomical observations of the Serenes, the two complement each other to minimize the error.

Hearing this, Chu couldn't help feeling a little distressed, "Three extreme planets? In this case, it will be more troublesome to disassemble."

If none of the planets in that star system have satellites, the initial resources of the collectors after arriving in that star system can only be obtained from the Kuiper belt. Although there are a lot of resource reserves there, the meteorites are very scattered. On a macro scale it looks denser.

If you colonize directly in the previous way, I am afraid it will waste a lot of time.

"Do you want to take a lot of resources to that star system?"

Some collectors suggested that if the resources are carried directly, the starting resources can be expanded, and the development speed will naturally not be slowed down.

However, Chu rejected this proposal, in its view, there was no need to do so.

"No, there is no need to waste resources like that. We are not in a hurry. Anyway, we will be captured by the gravity of the stars, and we can slowly expand in the way of colonizing the star system."

"After reaching the vicinity of that star system, we will use star tracks to transport materials for star transformation and dismantling."

According to the original idea, one star after another gradually expands to reach that star system in such a step-by-step manner. In this way, the time will be used efficiently, and the time consumed by searching and not searching will have a great impact on the group. There is not much difference in terms of.

"Understood, then we will give priority to expanding colonies in that direction..."

The collectors also came to understand and agreed with Chu's idea. As Chu said, they were not in a hurry. After all, they were separated by hundreds of light-years. Even if they rushed there in a hurry, they might already be cold. The collectors were not very optimistic about it. The fact that the seeds were still intact required a lot of luck.

Moreover, being captured by a star is only a hypothesis. If it is not captured by the gravity of the star, the seed will fly to a more distant place.

A thousand light-years or tens of thousands of light-years is possible. The sub-light speed is enough to escape the gravity of the river system. As long as the time is long enough, it is not surprising that the seeds of the empire ran to the next river system.

So the hope of surviving is not the slimmest, only slimmer.

"Uh... I did a rough calculation. Adding in the development time of dismantling materials in the star system, it will take about four hundred and ninety years."

Some collectors estimate the time to reach that star system, and the development in the star system also takes time.

"It's not too long, it's already considered very fast with such a long distance," Chu said.

It really doesn’t take long, as it can only travel at sub-light speeds, it will take tens or hundreds of years to complete an interstellar voyage of tens or hundreds of light-years.

The conversation of the collectors ended, and they began to prepare the preparation materials needed for the voyage. In fact, they didn't need to prepare too many things, it was just antimatter. The targets selected by the collectors had sufficient planetary resources, enough They build anti-matter giant structures and star tracks, so they don't need to prepare too many things to go on long-distance voyages.

Generally speaking, collectors will not be the first choice for interstellar colonization of stars like the mission targets of collectors. The starting resources are too low, and it will take more time and energy to deal with the extreme environment. If there is an environment With a better star system, the collectors would not pick such a hard nut to chew on.

The star trajectory is adjusted under the guidance of various observation data, and the star trajectory adjustment extending from the star to the Kuiper belt directly points to the position where the destination star will arrive in the future time period.
