How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 682: Stars of Yellow Sand in the Sky

"Did you find anything?" asked the gatherer.

The collectors searched this three-star system according to the instructions given by their kin, but found nothing, except to find a planet with a complex ecological circle and an intelligent species on it that was transitioning from barbarism to a civilized country, digging three feet to the center of the earth No other similar relics were found.

It seems that there is really nothing in this star system.

"Nothing was found, not even a trace."

The kin responded to the collector's inquiries, and such an answer made the collector doubtful.

"Strange thing, if the four coordinates in the fragment of the star map are not the coordinates or colonies of the enemy, why did the destroyed civilization mark these coordinates on the star map?"

Even if you are bored at leisure, it is not this kind of boring method. It is a fragment of a star picture found in a battlefield. Will some useless things be stuffed into the computer host of the warship?

It can't be the four coordinates randomly marked by a crew member working on the bridge when they are bored, right?

When the collectors were puzzled, the same race put forward their own views on these questions.

"Perhaps time has diluted the traces. If the material science of that civilization is very low, five thousand years is enough to wash away everything about them."

After pondering for a while, the gatherer replied.

"Let's continue to wait and see, the exploration of the other three star systems has not yet yielded results."

...

"Attention everyone! Start slowing down!"

Following the order from the swarm leader in the sub-light speed state, the entire leaping biological swarm began to annihilate the antimatter shield directly in front of them to slow down, and the huge light scattered, and they also felt a strong recoil force exerted on them. in every cell of the body.

The starbow directly in front spread out, and the stream of light rushed to the back of the jumping creature cluster like a shadow. These stars that escaped from the starbow were initially surrounded by blue light. Turned red and finally disappeared without a trace.

When the speed dropped to a certain level, Xinghong was completely dismembered, and the stars returned to their correct positions, and the star that was the destination of their trip was right in front of the leaping biological cluster.

"It's a blue dwarf system with very little matter, and only two terrestrial planets, both of which are small in size."

After arriving at the periphery of the star system, some collectors in the Yuejin biological cluster immediately released radio radar. The high-power radar waves swept across the entire star system and then reflected back, so the Yuejin creatures grasped the general environmental information of the destination star system .

The scarcity of planetary materials means that the subsequent colonization and construction of the collectors will be very difficult, because a lot of matter is needed to breed giant creatures, and among them, star orbits and antimatter giant structures are the giant structures that must exist to colonize stars.

If the collectors want to gain a firm foothold in this star system and complete their construction tasks, they probably need to contact their distant relatives and let them transport a large amount of materials over there.

"But it also saves the cost of our survey. To save trouble, we call these two stars No. 1 and No. 2. The cluster is divided into two groups. You go to No. 1 star, which is closer to the star, and we go to the farther star. No. 2 star." The cluster leader said.

In addition to colonization construction, the collectors have another task, which is to survey this star system and find out things related to civilization.

According to fragments of star pictures recovered from a space battlefield, the collectors found four coordinates, and the current blue dwarf system is one of them.

"OK."

Instructed gatherers respond to orders.

Leap forward biological clusters crossed the Kuiper belt, entered the star system, and then divided into two groups, each with tens of millions of terrestrial planets.

Due to the relationship of the revolution position, although the planet in the first orbit is closer to the star, it is the first planet that the leaping creatures arrive at.

On the planetary orbit, the collectors are not in a hurry to land, but first survey the planet's atmospheric environment on the orbit. As the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not cut firewood by mistake, and it will be easier to land and colonize if it is clear about the situation on the planet.

"It's a desolate planet, and there are frequent sandstorms. Everyone should pay attention to wind and dust measures, otherwise fine sand will run into the breathing pipe during breathing. Although there is no danger to life, the feeling is very uncomfortable. .”

After some confirmation, the collectors reminded those newly born members of the same race that individuals who have not personally experienced this kind of planet colonization will most likely ignore some information in the genetic memory.

After being reminded by the collectors, the newly born fellows responded.

"Understood, we will pay attention."

Leap forward creatures are anchored in orbit and drop a large number of individual collectors. By changing their appearance, these individuals tend to flatten their bodies, slow down the falling momentum, and complete the planetary landing.

The collectors who landed drilled into the ground, and began to transform themselves in a shallow place, turning into cocoons and expanding, and many rhizomes extended from the sarcoma and expanded outward.

Because the water element on this terrestrial planet is very scarce, the rhizome expanded rapidly at first, and then began to exhaust itself shortly thereafter. The water elements needed for expansion can only be collected by the rare hydrogen molecules in the external environment. and oxygen molecules to synthesize trace amounts of water.

However, the collectors soon got good news again, the news came from the same race who landed on other places on the planet.

"Ice layers have been found at the north and south poles, which can be used as starting resource points."

"Then start developing around these two places."

The collectors scattered in various parts of the planet began to change their strategies, giving priority to expanding the north and south poles, while the collectors at the north and south poles expanded towards the equator.

After the docking of the rhizomes on both sides was completed, with the ice layer as the material foundation, the speed of the expansion of the rhizomes began to accelerate, and the countless roots of the entire planet were connected together. They wriggled in the shallow layer below the surface, and His body is woven into a big net.

No, it cannot be said to be a large net. There are holes in the net, and the rhizomes weaved together leave only a few gaps. It should be called a 'cloth', a piece of cloth that covers the entire surface of the planet.

After completing the expansion and colonization of the planet, the collectors began to survey the planet.

They found marks on the surface that only form when large amounts of liquid water flow over them.

"This kind of trace can only be left by the river bed, indicating that there was originally a large amount of liquid water on this planet, as well as mountains and rivers."

Mountains and rivers are formed by the erosion of flowing water, so as long as there are rivers, there will be mountains and rivers. For rivers, as long as there is a large amount of liquid water in the environment, it is not difficult to form rivers by evaporating liquid water from stars to form rainfall.

It can also be said that water plays an indispensable role in the birth of life on a planet in a sense, at least on the earth.
