How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 492 Light Year Communication (Part 1)

"Attention everyone! Start slowing down!"

At the beginning of the interstellar voyage again, they go to the destination star. After receiving the feedback signal from the destination star, they open the airtight valve in their body and spray hydrogen gas clusters to the antimatter shield in front, causing them to undergo an annihilation reaction and release A lot of gamma rays are used to slow down.

Time and space changed from distorted to normal, and the starbow phenomenon disappeared, and the stars returned to their correct positions.

After arriving at the outermost Kuiper belt of the destination star, some individual collectors eagerly turned on their biological radar, observing the star system that was about to be occupied by them.

"A single star system, the main sequence star is a yellow dwarf star, but the mass is relatively small, and the number of internal planets is five. In addition to the Kuiper belt, it also has two asteroid belts orbiting the star."

"Confirmation is complete, it is the same as the remote observation."

The individual collector who observes broadcasts the information he observes to all members. Not only does it have such a behavior, but also several collectors in the group also behave like this.

This is to avoid observation errors, the farther the distance, the greater the observation error, and increasing the number of observers is an excellent way to reduce the error.

So far, calculating the distance from the star system of the designed pressure megastructure as the starting point, the current collectors have traveled a total distance of more than 60 light years.

"Hey, it's another ordinary star system, why can't there be some new discoveries? For example, the kind of habitable planets with complex ecosystems discovered before."

Some collectors complained in the group, because the stimulation of the habitable planet ahead stimulated the enthusiasm of some collectors to find other civilized races.

Finding a new civilization will be of great help to the ethnic group, and the ethnic group will usher in new changes - all the collectors agree in this way, even if it is a newborn individual, because the Serene civilization is to make the entire Clans have progressed beyond imagination, so they think so.

Without the Serene civilization, it would be difficult for them to study mathematics and physics in depth. Fleet creatures, anti-matter giant structures, leap-forward creatures, proton lattice bodies... Although they have the ability to do it, they never imagined that such a concept would never exist from the very beginning.

Therefore, the discovery of a new civilization also means the discovery of a new field of knowledge, which has become a subconscious idea of ​​the collectors. The new field of knowledge certainly means a new round of technological explosion for the ethnic group.

This is a great thing, and the collectors are of course very eager.

"Don't ask too much. That kind of planet is very rare. If it's everywhere, then we don't need to keep that planet for group research."

"That's what I said, but even if we lower the standard, we have never encountered a planet with life. I thought that even if we couldn't find a livable planet with a complex ecosystem for a while, we could find some algae, fungi, Cell biology should still be very simple."

During the voyage of more than 60 light years, the collectors have experienced two star systems, one is a three-star system and the other is a four-star system. Except for the novel observation experience that the star system gives collectors, everything else is similar.

Nothing more than planets, stars, asteroids, interstellar dust and so on.

"If life were everywhere, the current universe would not be as dead as it is now."

"Huh? Dead silence..."

Said unintentionally, but sounded intentional, the reply from the same family made this individual collector who was still complaining meditate.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that there has been no reply for a long time, the fellow who was communicating with the collector gave back information, and the collector also took advantage of the opportunity to ask the same clan for verification.

"You just said that the universe is dead, right?"

"Yes, if it is not dead, we can easily discover new civilizations. As long as the technological level of these civilizations can reach the level of breaking away from the gravity of planets, it is not difficult to achieve communication on a scale of several light years."

Thinking that the collectors were thinking about the reason why the cosmic environment was judged to be 'deadly silent' in his previous words, the same race explained the reason for himself to say so.

The collectors are very puzzled, because the standard given by the same family is too low. It is not that simple to communicate on a light-year scale. Take the feedback information required for sub-light speed navigation, it takes a whole star The energy supply of planetary level can realize the feedback signal across several light years.

Now such feedback signal, the people being collected are transferred from the planet to the orbit of the star, and the energy is supplied by the star, so that the feedback signal can travel more than 20 light years without attenuation.

Needless to say, the technical difficulty in this is not something as simple as 'just need to be able to break away from the gravity of the planet' as the same race said.

"How to achieve it? It is enough to break away from the gravity of the planet? There are no other conditions?"

The collector finds it inconceivable, even though it knows that its fellows have no reason to talk nonsense to it, but it can't imagine how to communicate information across light years with a technical level that breaks away from the gravity of the planet.

Hearing the collector's inquiry, the fellow clansmen did not shy away from telling the collector what they thought.

"That's right, that's enough. It's very simple and direct to use the visible spectrum of stars to communicate. Except for the shortcoming of light speed delay, there are basically no shortcomings. Even the observer is saved. With the naked eyes of the Serin people You can learn information across light years."

The transmission of Morse code through changes in the brightness of stars can also achieve ultra-long-distance communication across light-year levels. This technical difficulty is not high, and the difficulty is mainly how to block the light of stars so that the brightness of stars changes significantly.

But the collector thought about it carefully, and felt that something was wrong, so it immediately refuted the same race.

"No, I know that using stellar spectrum communication, enough orbiting satellites are needed to block the light of the stars, and at least one entire planet needs to be dismantled."

The reason why the collectors say this is because that is what they do. The original stars broadcast information in the first place, relying on this method, combined with the polarized spaceships of the Serenes, and some polarized organisms added by Hogu later, The realization of Dyson Cloud is construction.

Relying on this Dyson cloud and changing the brightness of the stars, the light-year-level broadcast communication is realized.

However, this idea of ​​the collector was quickly rejected by the same race.

"No, no, there's no need to do that."
