How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 505: Black Hole Companion Star

After receiving an unfamiliar radio signal, the collectors panicked for a while, then calmed down and calmly analyzed the strange radio signal.

"This signal is only regular, and does not contain any information in it."

The signal does not contain any language information, but a simple law of existence, first three long-frequency waves, then three short-frequency waves, then three long-frequency waves, and so on.

The power of the signal is not strong, so the collectors only noticed this series of regular signals some time after they arrived.

"It may be providing coordinates, or a distress signal."

"Help?"

"That's right, on the side of the empire, if there is a space fleet of the Serenes in distress, they will use some radio bands that are easy to be observed and not easily blocked as distress signals. Regarding this aspect, the ethnic group and the empire have signed an agreement , if an individual receives a distress signal, it is obliged to carry out rescue, and conversely, if the empire receives a distress signal from an individual of the ethnic group, it is also obliged to carry out rescue, a mutual aid agreement." The collector who proposed the idea explained.

"The empire arrived near the black hole earlier than us?!"

"This is an analogy. This series of regular signals is not the same as the distress signal in the agreement, and the empire does not have the ability to come to the black hole at all."

The collectors took the trouble to explain to their fellows who would misunderstand.

Although it is not ruled out that the regular signals are naturally formed, the possibility is very low. It is more likely that there are man-made objects that send signals all the time on the terrestrial planet.

Man-made objects, which means that they are related to a new civilization that has never been in contact, the collectors suddenly became excited.

"I suggest that we should land on that planet to see and find the regular signal source. Perhaps this will be an opportunity for the ethnic group to discover a new civilization. This is an opportunity not to be missed."

"I agree."

"Agree, it is recommended to assign the individual to go immediately."

There is basically no individual objection, and it was passed unanimously as soon as the proposal was made. There is no individual collector who cares about the danger. Many collectors recommend themselves and express their willingness to go - in the face of the interests of the ethnic group, their own Life and death don't matter at all.

Soon, the collectors finalized their candidates, and five collectors were selected as the individuals who landed. At the same time, they were also obliged to deliver the observation data of the surface to other collectors who did not have tens of millions of planets. .

"Go to that planet, pay attention to safety, and don't waste resources for the ethnic group."

"clear."

After briefly explaining the precautions, the five foragers split off the mass of flesh that was breeding the giant organism, and fell towards the black hole.

After falling for a certain distance, they turned on their antimatter propulsion in the opposite direction. In a burst of intense gamma ray beams, their descent speed began to slow down, and they landed in a state of uniform deceleration and straight fall.

The scorching red lotus fire envelops the falling collectors, which is the flame caused by atmospheric friction.

"Change appearance."

The five foragers turned off antimatter propulsion, changed their appearance into soft flat biological bodies, and used atmospheric resistance to achieve a weak landing.

They are like five towel blankets flying in mid-air, swept by the strong wind, and finally fall to the surface at a relatively slow speed.

"I landed safely, how about you?"

Due to the randomness of the landing location, the five collectors were scattered to different locations.

Replies from other collectors will be sent back quickly in the radio channel.

"I'm fine, I'm just hanging on a rock and it takes a while to get down."

"It's a great place to have water on this planet."

"This planet is still in a very early stage. There is no fine sand, rocks and water everywhere. There is no land, and liquid water floods the entire surface of the planet."

"If we had known that there was such a terrestrial planet next to the black hole, we would not have to organize tens of thousands of individuals to carry a large amount of material resources to cross the scale of five light years, which is too wasteful."

For the collectors, as long as there is water, that planet is a good place, and it is a starting resource star that can grow the group.

"Since everything is safe, let's start searching for the source of the signal."

"learn."

The gatherer, whose appearance has changed into a flat canvas-like organism, relies on the sharp corners of the edges to support its body. Its size has shrunk compared to when it landed, and its muscle tissue allows it to move like this.

Stepping into the half-meter-deep liquid water, the collectors began to move in the direction of the signal source. They didn't intend to meet, or the signal source was a good meeting point.

On the way, the collectors observed the environment on the surface of the planet.

This planet is very flat, the flattest planetary surface that the collectors have ever seen. There are no towering mountains. Except for some rocks that are at most reef-like and sparsely stand out of the water, there is a vast ocean as far as the eye can see.

A world of water and dead silence.

The sky was gray, and the collectors also analyzed the composition of the atmosphere. The proportion of nitrogen was very high, with rare oxygen and some other trace elements mixed in it.

"A planet like this is defined as a habitable planet by the Serenes... Well, could it be that the source of the signal was launched from a colony ship?"

"There is such a possibility, but I am more inclined to think that it is a transmitter for black hole positioning. After all, there is a black hole next to it. Even if it is a habitable planet, it is not suitable for use as a habitable star. Even if we , and would not choose such a planet with a black hole next to it."

"That's because the ethnic group needs feedback signals to implement sub-light speed deceleration. If there is no such thing, it is also possible to collect the resources of this planet for the development of the ethnic group."

"You are really greedy."

"How can the things of the ethnic group be called greed? This is a necessary nutrient for the growth of the ethnic group."

Walking and chatting all the way, the collectors traveled hundreds of kilometers without knowing it, and finally saw their destination. In the distance is a structure that looks like a metal box, and it can be judged at a glance that it is a human artifact. ,very obvious.

"I see the end."

"I saw it too."

"Then let's get there quickly to complete the rendezvous."

The collectors who saw the artificial objects were all excited, because this confirmed the existence of a new civilization, and the level of technology was not low, otherwise it would never be possible to reach this terrestrial planet next to the black hole.

However, before the collectors were happy, something happened on the surface, the ground began to tremble violently, the roaring sound shook the air, and a vague white line could be vaguely seen from the distant horizon.
