How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 572 Can't Help

"After all, the Carter's technology is very backward. The Empire was able to produce this kind of nuclear fusion spaceship before, but they did not choose this warship design, but adopted another design with low speed but strong defense."

The nuclear energy spaceship of the Carters relies on uncontrollable nuclear fusion as the power source of the spaceship. It is not a big problem for the empire to manufacture it. The Carters can think of it, and the Serenes can naturally think that it is impossible for a civilization They are all fools, but the empire still did not choose this in the end.

"Why? This kind can accelerate to one-tenth of the speed of light." Another collector was puzzled.

"But a battleship is no more than a spaceship. A battleship is a high-destructive weapon that acts on the battlefield. Speed ​​is one aspect. Can it pass the light as quickly as possible? Coupled with the difficulty of steering caused by the inertial system, this makes the high-speed spaceship On the contrary, the hit rate is easy to increase, which leads to the need for warships to have a certain degree of structural resistance instead of speed."

After thinking about it, the other collector agreed with the idea of ​​the same race.

"Indeed, if it weren't for the antimatter shield we developed, we wouldn't dare to increase our movement speed to a very high level."

"If you fight across the stars, it is estimated that you will fight across light years in the form of small biological projections."

Suddenly, one of the gatherer individuals remembered something, and it delivered a message.

"Speaking of crossing light years, I remember that the Carters reported to us that there were two small fleets heading out of their parent star at one-tenth the speed of light."

The other collector is also aware of this matter, and it also expresses its own thoughts when it hears about this matter from its peers.

"It's surprising that there are Carters who foresaw the space battle not long ago at such an early age."

"The Carters are not stupid, they are much smarter than us, but they are still too young." The same clan replied.

"However, there are many people who have their own ideas, such as those who we inform and express their loyalty..."

On Soli's side, on the Carter's home planet, stands a huge building extending from the ground to outer space. It is the amoeba's gimbal creature.

The Carters did not show concern about the existence of the Yuntai creatures, because the establishment of the Yuntai creatures was to save the Carters. According to their agreement with the amoeba, after all the Carters were cured, the Yuntai creatures would Gather up the rhizome and leave on your own, leaving Sori to the Carters, who will have Soli's full autonomy.

Of course, it is limited to Soli, and all other stars except Soli belong to Amoeba.

At the connection between the biological rhizome of Yuntai and the surface of Soli, a dirty-looking homeless man was taken here by several soldiers.

Afterwards, several soldiers bowed deeply towards the joint, then quickly turned around and walked away as if fleeing.

The homeless man was very calm, and sat down directly as if he had returned home, looking around. The connection was surrounded by a high wall, forming a cylindrical shape, as if in a deep underground somewhere.

Suddenly, the homeless man heard a voice coming into his ears.

"You are Myron, the commander-in-chief of the Carters?"

"That's already in the past tense. Now I'm just an ordinary poor homeless man." Myron smiled and waved his hands.

Collector doesn't want to go around in circles, it goes straight to the point.

"Then Myron the Wanderer, can you tell us which star is the destination star of the two small fleets that fled out at your private instruction?"

"I have no idea."

Myron answered simply.

"Tell us, it's for your own good," the collector reminded.

It wasn't malicious, because the collector's way of showing maliciousness was not like this, but Myron obviously misunderstood, he turned his eyes to the connection and asked.

"You want to threaten me with the Carters on Soli?"

"No, we didn't have that idea, it was really out of good intentions."

The collector emphasized again, declaring his own ideas.

Myron felt a little strange, but he was relieved when he thought that he was talking to an alien creature, but he still insisted on his answer. In view of the friendliness of the other party, he didn't force a confession with words and deeds as soon as he came up, so Myron also explained in detail Give some explanation.

"I really don't know. When I first made the plan, I considered that you would get the coordinates of the destination from me. I also thought that it was impossible to extract confessions by torture or some kind of high-tech interrogation method that can read memories." Conceal it, so the destination star of the fleeing fleet is chosen by the fugitives themselves, and I just gave them a chance to escape."

"Really? That's such a pity that we can't help you."

After hearing this, the collector expressed regret. After a brief communication, Myron, who had a preliminary understanding of alien life in front of him, was puzzled. He could understand that the alien he was facing was really expressing Can't help - so the question is, help for what?

Myron had some bad premonition, so he hurriedly asked.

"Wait, help us? What do you mean?"

The collector didn't intend to hide it, after all, it was just something that all Carter people would know in the future.

"Then let me tell you one thing. The star five light years away from you is not the parent star of our amoeba. We colonized and expanded there."

"Our amoeba civilization starts from the initial star system. Every time we arrive at a star system, we will dismantle the planets in that star system to build star orbits and antimatter giant structures. After completing the construction, we will continue to The surrounding star system colonizes, and so on."

"The speed of the colony cluster reaches 90% of the speed of light through the star orbit, and it only takes a few years to cover the distance of several light years, but the two small fleets you escaped only reached 10% of the speed of light. One-tenth, and the acceleration is very small, it takes a lot of time to accelerate or decelerate, which also increases the time for traveling across the stars.

"Our colony of amoebas can easily catch up and overtake them, arrive at the destination of the two fleeing fleets early, and dismantle all the planets in that star system, even though we don't know their destination. "

When the collector said this, Myron's expression became quite ugly, and he was no longer as relaxed as before. Every star system like Amoeba colonized unscrupulously in the universe, and has far greater powers than Carter. With the higher speed of the human spaceship, it is almost inevitable that the amoeba will meet the two fleeing fleets.

The collector's explanation continues.

"We know that you are fleeing and voyaging to continue your civilization. In order to get rid of our pursuit of you, you must choose a star that can travel the farthest and is rich in resources as your destination. After arriving at the destination, you must resupply , and then continued to flee, but unfortunately, when the two fleeing fleets arrived at their destination, what they saw would not be those planets with rich resources, but us."

"The loadable load limits the material reserves of the two fleeing fleets. The material resources required for interstellar voyages must enter a star system for resupply, unless they are lucky and can come into contact with a wandering star system. Abundant rogue planets."

"However, even if this is the case, without knowing our technical level, we will eventually enter a certain star system and come into contact with us. This is inevitable. Our speed far surpasses yours."

In the second half of the collector, it doesn’t make sense to say it or not. It’s just to say what is in Myron’s mind. After Myron learned of the sub-light speed of the amoeba and its colonial behavior, he was the first to think of it. this result.

"Your plan didn't save those escaped compatriots, it just gave them a little hope and a bigger despair." The gatherer said.

Myron opened his mouth to say something, but closed it again.

After pondering for a while, Myron asked.

"You... If you meet them, how will you treat them?"

"I don't know about this. Different situations are handled differently, and different clusters have different ways of handling things, but one thing is certain, that is, they will not be allowed to die, even if they themselves want to die." The collector said.

"Then why did you say those things to me just now?"

Myron still couldn't understand, what did the collector mean by "can't help" just now? Since there is no danger to life, what is there to be afraid of?

"Because life might be worse than death," said the collector.
