I Am the Swarm

If the Rikens had plenty of resources, they wouldn't mind using this to delay the Zerg a little bit, but now the Rikens obviously couldn't squeeze out these resources.

"Don't worry, this situation has been considered at the beginning. We have already laid light sails with a total area of ​​tens of millions of square kilometers in near-stellar orbit, and the number is still increasing. As long as we can block the Zerg from the civil and military double star defense Outside the circle, there should be no need to worry about energy issues.”

The earliest inter-galaxy navigation system of the Rickon race was based on light sails, which not only provided kinetic energy for the spacecraft, but also converted other energies to maintain the daily needs of the spacecraft.

Access to stellar energy is the only way for every civilization to develop. The same theoretical knowledge makes all civilizations tend to develop towards Dyson spheres in this regard.

For the Rickon tribe, there is nothing more suitable than a light sail to envelop the star and use the energy of the star. Its technology is relatively mature, and its cost is relatively low. Under the same quality, the special material with a thickness of only 0.0005 mm can cover a larger area. Even if its energy conversion rate is low, it cannot conceal its great advantages in other aspects.

After all, the Riken tribe is a high-level intelligent civilization, and all the plans are interlocking. If the Izumo star cannot be defended, there has been a plan for a long time, and the use of stellar energy is its alternative.

The Rikens present at the meeting were all senior military officers and staff officers. Most of them knew the relevant information, but they voluntarily gave up on leaving Yunxing, which made them feel aggrieved and unacceptable.

The quarrel of the Rickens did not affect the swarm at all, and the 8,000 Taikoo continued to advance. Although the environment in the galaxy was complicated and the speed could not be brought to the extreme, it only took more than a month for them to advance to the distance. A place more than 10 million kilometers away from the clouds.

Although the Blades had already known in advance that the Riken tribe had abandoned this place, they still had to pretend not to know and do some investigative work.

As the distance continues to approach, the optical detection system can directly observe the many satellites of Izumo Star because they are not covered by the atmosphere.

It was a dilapidated scene. In the observable area, at least on the surface, there were no units that would threaten the swarm army.

When the distance between the two sides was only 2 million kilometers, the Taikoo class had already reduced their speed to 10KM/S. According to this speed, it is estimated that they will reach the cloud star orbit in two days.

Some 100-meter-level adults with larvae all over their bodies broke away from the group troops and flew towards Izumo first.

It seems that the Rickon tribe evacuated quite thoroughly this time, and they didn't want to waste resources to create some innocuous troubles for the swarm. They didn't even deploy a smart mine in the starry sky, which can be said to be extremely economical.

On the satellite orbit of Izumo, the space factories that originally produced energy devices, some space smelters, and shipyards have been directly towed away by high-powered functional ships. Where they were built, the issue of transfer was considered. At the beginning, there were many logistics factories in the Lazer star defense circle, but they were all dragged away at the beginning of the war.

These things only need a tugboat equipped with more than ten high-power engines. After they are dragged out of the cloud star orbit, they will be connected by tugboats that also have an even number of high-power engines.

Without the influence of planetary gravity, a tug ship can even drag hundreds of space factories forward, looking like an interstellar train from a distance.

With this kind of efficiency, the original docks on the orbit of the Izumo star gathered the defense circle of Lazer Star and the original ones, a total of tens of thousands of space factories, and did not waste too much time and resources, and they were all delayed in a few rounds. gone.

It is much more difficult to transfer some factories and equipment on the satellite. Fortunately, most of them are also assembled by modules. After being disassembled by special machinery, they are sent directly to space orbit by simple electromagnetic launchers, and then shipped away.

The principle of the electromagnetic launcher built by the Rickens is almost the same as the biological giant structure of the swarm. The whole structure is like a huge roller coaster structure. Although it is a quick product of simple splicing, it can also send modules weighing dozens of tons to Go up in space orbit.

After completing the handling task, these electromagnetic launchers will also be disassembled again and pulled away by a large number of small transport boats.

The galaxy named after the Rickens is their home field. Here, their various ability parameters have been greatly improved, and the cooperation of various arms has become more tacit, which is far from comparable to that of the expedition fleet.

On the major satellites of Izumo, the important buildings have already been dismantled and dragged away, leaving only potholes. Most of the buildings of the Ricken people on the satellites have some underground structures.

Although most of the underground structures are spliced ​​with modules, most of them want to be integrated with the surrounding earth and rock structures, making it more difficult to disassemble and disassemble. In addition to the relationship between the transportation efficiency of the channel, except for those very important underground structures that were removed, the rest have been blown up.

What remains in place is the appearance of these potholes.

Since the war between the two races, both sides have consciously kept the secrets of their technological systems. For example, with the "gene lock" created by the swarm, even when the Riken tribe retreated urgently after being defeated, they would try their best to blow up ships or facilities that could not be taken away.

However, what the Rickon tribe did not know was that the swarm did not have too high requirements for the integrity of Rickon's creations. Let alone simply blowing them up, even if they were completely corroded into liquid using a special chemical solution, the swarm would still be destroyed. Nutrients for growth can be drawn from it.

The adults and larvae that came to investigate spread out and landed on various satellites, and carefully inspected the Riken tribe's monitoring devices hidden on them.

These things are definitely there, and the Rickon tribe will not let go of any opportunity to learn about the swarm. These detection devices are not expensive, and it doesn’t matter if they are all destroyed, but if something worthless is photographed, it will make a lot of money. up.

Of course, the insect swarm would not give the Rikens such a chance to speculate, and then sent several batches of adults and larvae to check the satellites carefully and carefully for many times before allowing the larvae to burrow into the soil. Turn into Creep Seeds.

"They were very cautious. All our surveillance was destroyed, and no one was spared."

"hateful!"

"In reason, you should stop being misled by the opponent's appearance. So many battles are enough to prove that their intelligence is not inferior to ours."

Rickon's arrogance, even if the two sides lose more in the war and win less, it only raises the intelligence level of the other party to the same level as itself, which seems to be a great honor.

"However, our backhand has not been discovered yet, and we hope to slow down the speed of the opponent's advancement."

"The other side is unexpectedly cautious this time. Those 500-meter-level octopus monsters are still staying far away from Izumo Star."

"It must be activated. If this continues, those who are behind may be discovered!"
