How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 500 The First Crime Scene

To find the original position of the dwarf planet, you can get a straight line through the entry point and the angle at which the dwarf planet entered the inner asteroid belt.

Based on the time difference between the impact of the large meteorite and the impact of the small meteorite on the other side, it can be concluded how long it took the dwarf planet to travel to the inner asteroid belt after being hit by the large meteorite.

Still the simple physics formula, speed x time = distance.

And the result of those maths is... Orbit Six.

"The outer meteorite belt?"

Chu Chu, who thought he could know the results immediately, was depressed again. Although the outer meteorite belt is not as widely distributed as the Kuiper belt, the scale is also very large. They need to spend more time, energy, and resources to learn about the new civilization. .

The collectors acted again, and after a large number of cosmic creatures combined into larger transport creatures, they went to the sixth orbit, the outer asteroid belt, in this way to save energy.

The two collectors responsible for mining resources in the asteroid belt in the outer ring also quickly received tasks assigned by the ethnic group.

"You must carefully check every meteorite. The ethnic group is determined to win this newly discovered civilization."

"In addition, meteorites that are judged to be useless are allowed to be mined as resources, so that the progress of resource mining will not drop much. Going to other star systems, antimatter giant structures and star tracks are indispensable biological entities."

"Got it, we'll take care of it."

Two gatherers give feedback to the group that issued the task.

One by one, the transported creatures crossed dozens of astronomical units, and each arrived at the assignment point of the mission one after another. The transported creature found a meteorite attached to it, and began to die. As it died, a large number of cosmic creatures drilled out of it, dragging Pulling the pulse tail flame, it headed towards the surrounding meteorites.

From a distance, it looks like fireworks launched from the second orbit, and then exploded after the asteroid in the sixth orbit, blooming dazzling fireworks.

This time, the number of organisms participating in the survey was several times higher than that on the second track. Under the command of the commander, they moved in an orderly manner, and every meteorite was spared, just to find a new civilization. other traces.

"Is there really an outer circle?"

Collectors who have been searching for a while but have found nothing, initiate inquiries in the channel.

"This is the result obtained by the physical model, unless the calculation result is wrong, you know, the probability of this is very small."

"The dwarf planet collides with the massive meteorite in the sixth orbit and deviates from its orbit. The sixth orbit is the starting point for the orbital deviation of the dwarf planet."

"Don't limit the consumption of resources. The ethnic group has no shortage of resources. If you can find that new civilization, the value of the consumed resources will soon be offset."

"I see."

The search continues, and the waste of resources is more reckless than before, in exchange for a great reduction in the search time of the sixth orbit, which is obviously larger than the area of ​​the asteroid belt in the second orbit, but the time spent is only the original search for the second orbit For two-thirds of the time, the collectors had invested heavily in the search.

Finally, after they checked hundreds of thousands of meteorites in the entire sixth orbit one by one, they made a new discovery on one of them.

This meteorite is very large, with a diameter of more than 20 kilometers. On the surface, it is no different from many other meteorites except for its large size, but its inner structure has another mystery.

As the harvesters emptied the outer layer of carbonate material from the meteorite, a metallic structure emerged within the cosmic vacuum environment.

This metal structure is very distorted, tending to be spherical. It seems that it has been distorted like this after experiencing high temperature and high pressure, but it can still be vaguely recognized as a human artifact.

A large number of tentacles drilled into this metal wreckage, and began to clean up the internal fillings. For tentacles that can do molecular-level finishing, it is not difficult to handle this kind of thing meticulously.

When the metal debris has been thoroughly cleaned, the tentacles scan the structure and send the data back to the swarm network.

Based on these data, the collectors restored the strongly twisted parts of the metal structure, rejoined the broken parts, and obtained the original intact appearance of the metal object.

"It's not like a spaceship. You see, it doesn't even have propellers."

"Could it be that the technology of this new civilization is so advanced that the spacecraft can move in the universe without propellers?"

"Don't make wild guesses based on everything. I think this wreck is a part of a man-made object. Even if the technology has advanced to the point where thrusters are not needed, there must be a life support system, right? Those dry people are still wearing protective clothing. Spacesuit."

"But after searching the entire sixth orbit, except for this thing, I didn't find any wreckage that seems to be the creation of a dry human civilization."

"We may change our thinking. Since the wreckage is distorted by high temperature and high pressure, it means that such an environment once existed on the sixth orbit, but we all know that space is a vacuum. It is not a thing to naturally form such an environment. Easy stuff."

"Wait, since it's high temperature and high pressure, it means that other metal wrecks must be the same, maybe we mistaken those distorted metal wrecks for ordinary meteorites..."

"Fuck! Then stop the resource collection of the sixth track!"

New instructions were broadcasted, and the living organisms in the sixth-orbit asteroid belt that were performing missions all stopped their resource mining behaviors.

According to the material of the metal debris, the collectors quickly locked some meteorites. These meteorites are all metal meteorites, with a thin layer of non-metallic material attached to the outer layer, and a complete solid metal body inside. The metal material is different from that of the collectors. The same metal wreckage was found.

There are a lot of these meteorites, and there are tens of thousands of such asteroids in hundreds of thousands of meteorites.

The mystery is getting bigger and bigger. It can be confirmed that these tens of thousands of metal meteorites and that metal wreckage were once a whole man-made object. identified wreckage.

The collectors couldn't help raising questions—what happened to cause this situation?

"It seems that high temperature and high pressure have squeezed these metal remains beyond recognition, and it is difficult for us to restore these metal bodies like restoring metal remains."

"The clue is broken..."

Naturally, the collectors could not be reconciled to the disappearance of an opportunity for the group to make great strides forward. Soon, some individuals came up with new ideas.

"No, it's not broken yet. We still have the obelisk found on the dwarf planet. By deciphering the text on it, we may be able to make new discoveries."

"We need supercomputers, and the construction of other projects is temporarily slowed down, and we will fully devote ourselves to the construction and implementation of the giant structure of Tianji."

"I agree."
