How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 549 Activation of the War Machine

After the decision to intervene was made, the work tasks of the collectors became more, and they began to plan the manufacture of strategic resources. If you can directly compare the volumes of planets, satellites and other celestial bodies in the star system, you will be surprised to find that, They are shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, continuing to reduce the radius at a rate of one meter per day, and wave after wave of organic organisms are going back and forth between the planet and the large flesh in the void.

"The construction of the high-pressure giant structure cannot be left behind. We need them to manufacture a large number of strategic resources such as proton lattices and solid helium for the cluster. By the way, the large-scale production of various live ammunition must also increase the schedule..."

"The action must be accelerated, and we can no longer be as leisurely as before. We are in a hurry."

Orders were issued one after another, and the collectors were working in an orderly manner according to these instructions in the channel. The large pieces of meat in the universe had already revealed a cylindrical prototype. After the incubation is completed, strategic resources such as proton lattice bodies and solid helium will be produced in large quantities.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the development of the collectors as swift and violent, and it is even very vivid, because it is really 'rapid', and such exaggerated industrial capabilities are simply magic.

However, even with such a construction progress, there are some individuals who have doubts.

"Is there enough time?"

"Otherwise, why do you think it takes us sixty years to reach the distance of five light years?"

This kind of problem has caused complaints from other members of the same race. If the time spent on construction is not considered, it will only take five years for the collectors to reach the nearby star system that is five light years away.

Only then did the individual who asked the question react, "Uh, I misunderstood."

The individual mistakenly thinks that after preparing a large amount of antimatter, it directly accelerates through antimatter, reaching one tenth of the speed of light, and decelerates after reaching the destination.

But in this way, the swarm would have to set off early, and at the same time would face various armament shortages. Of course, the collectors would not do this kind of thing so stupidly.

As the saying goes, sharpening a knife does not cut firewood by mistake. After the construction is completed, if the star track is used to accelerate, it can reach more than 90% of the speed of light, which can completely make up for the time spent on construction, and it can also have complete armed capabilities.

Collectors are not so stupid that they don't know what to choose.

After the construction work was arranged, the collectors discussed the strategy of alien civilization.

"Then if the black hole bomb is to be manufactured?"

"... Let's make some, let's set the number at a hundred."

"The construction of the star orbit, I think, can be directly directed to the target star construction, so that once it is completed, there is no need to waste much time changing the orbit, which can greatly save our time and cost."

Proofreading the star trails is a time-consuming and troublesome thing. It cannot be completed in ten days and half a month. If the changes are too large, it is not surprising that it takes several years to adjust the orbits. Therefore, this proposal is still very valuable.

"What is the best number of clusters to go to the target star system?"

"Go to participate in the battle, of course, the more the number, the better."

More is better—this doctrine has always been implemented by the collectors, mainly because of their social structure. They are not obsessed with individual power, but advocate collective power, and the collective power is of course the greater the number.

Of course, this does not take into account the concept of 'technology'.

The proposal of a large number of clusters was quickly questioned by other individuals, not so much the 'more is better' doctrine, but the feasibility of doing so.

"The one-time delivery capability of the star track has an upper limit."

"You can vote in several batches, and the number is set at tens of thousands. The opponent is sitting on a star system with rich resources, at least we can't suffer in terms of numbers."

"No, the time is too short. Proton lattices, solid helium, and metallic hydrogen are all good things to say, but the amount of antimatter produced is too small to meet the number of tens of thousands of individuals in such a short period of time. Antimatter is not only It is used for sublight speed deceleration, such as shipboard sublight speed cannonballs, black hole bombs, and gamma ray cannons, all of which require antimatter supplies."

Collectors are fully capable of breeding tens of thousands of individuals like this. The number of people who fought against the Serenes back then was much more exaggerated than this, and the number of tens of thousands is already very conservative.

But the problem is that the output of antimatter is too impressive, and it is basically impossible to meet the antimatter needs of tens of thousands of leaping creatures in such a short period of time.

This is not a problem that can be solved through hard work. It is unsolvable in the physical sense, unless the fundamental production technology is improved from the underlying technology.

And such an improvement is also not something that collectors can accomplish in a short period of time.

Just because of these considerations, some collectors suggested it.

"Should we discard quality and increase quantity?"

"No, when the quality expands to a certain extent, the quantity becomes meaningless."

Without even thinking about it, most individuals rejected the proposal, and the collectors knew the meaning of quality very well.

Thus, another point of view is thus determined.

"Then expand the quantity on the premise of ensuring quality, and the number of individuals is set at hundreds."

"Will this amount be too small? It feels bad."

Fighting with hundreds of clusters is unique in the history of the ethnic group, but if the quality is to be guaranteed, it can only be like this.

"That's better than tens of thousands who are not fully armed."

In response to this problem, another collector proposed, "We call the nearest colonial stars to us and ask them to send support."

"This is a good idea, but their amount of antimatter should not be much. The amount can be piled up to about two or three thousand at most, and there is still a long distance from tens of thousands. If you call a colony star that is farther away, it may be more than six Ten years."

"Two or three thousand is two or three thousand. If you can defeat such a number of clusters, that is the alien civilization that the ethnic group should treat seriously."

The matter of combat is finalized, but there is one more important thing that must be determined, and it is proposed by the leader of the group.

"Then... if the thousands of clusters are defeated, do we need to use black hole bombs to destroy the stars?"

"Of course we have to use it. We have already decided to manufacture and equip it. Why not use it? This is a strategic thing in itself." Some individuals replied without even thinking about it.

But soon some collectors realized the problem of using black hole bombs.

"But once it is used, the group will gain nothing. A supernova explosion can crush even a planet into a plasma nebula. In addition, we have to give up the current star system. The killing distance of a supernova explosion is light-years. Five light-years is too close, and it is estimated that stars within 25 light-years of the exploding star cannot be colonized."

To put it simply, stealing chickens is not enough to lose money. Not only will they be forced to abandon the colonization of stars, but even threaten the safety of interstellar routes. The most important thing is that the ethnic group will not get anything and waste a lot of resources. This is the most uncomfortable a little.

After many discussions, finally, the collectors reached a consensus.

"It depends on the situation. If you lose the battle, try to send a peace message. If the other party is unwilling to accept it, you can decide to drop a black hole bomb. Including the Serenes, the ethnic group has discovered three alien civilizations, and more can be discovered in the future." , don’t care about this one, considering the threat, allow it to be eliminated.”
