But no matter what, life has to go on.

People began to try to forget about that earth and start a new life, while hiding their communication channels.

In the case of uncertainty about the level of civilization on Earth in this time and space, it is very unwise to venture to expose one's existence.

In any case, survival is the first element.

This was echoed by all the crew.

The colony ship entered the synchronous orbit of Glise 581 and began to drop probes along the planet's dawn and dusk line.

After the probe landed and brought back data from the ground, the colony ship then dropped the drop pod of the orbital airborne troops, then the infrastructure unit, and then the living pod loaded with the colonists, thus opening the curtain of the "colonial era".

Although the year is 37 days, because the planet does not have the concept of day and night, in order to commemorate the blue parent star, people still use the earth's 24-hour timekeeping and solar system calendar to calculate the year.

There are no seas in this world, and freshwater comes entirely from glaciers on the planet's back sun, freshwater lakes scattered along the morning and dusk lines, and underground channels that crisscross like blood vessels.

There are many large fungi and low shrubs on the surface, and the air contains plenty of oxygen, so it is comfortable to breathe the air of this world, which seems to have been specially created for humans.

The world is beautiful, and many magnificent natural landscapes are simply not seen on earth.

The river that flows from the back to the sun is evaporated into a wall of fog thousands of miles wide in the heat, where the sunlight is deflected and converges into a rainbow that never goes away. And then there's the weird vegetation and giant fungi. Covering every inch of the soft soil on the morning and dusk line, it looks like a carpet of verdant and red when viewed from above.

Life exists on this planet, albeit rarely.

Actually, from a long time ago. Steven Vogt, the observer of this planet, made a prediction. Personally, he believes that there is a 100% probability of life on this planet and has no doubt about it.

As it turned out, he was right.

The morning and dusk lines are densely covered with vegetation and a large number of small and medium-sized arthropods with odd shapes, forming a simple ecosystem.

The colonists were relieved that they were not alone.

Living units have been built, and ecological farms have sprung up. Then a network of roads spreads out, connecting them into a city. Prospecting vehicles shuttle like ant colonies, and engineering vehicles transform the landscape. Biologists are hungry for unheard-of genetic maps. The giant sun that never sets is like the dawn sun, and people work hard to build a new home and sing the praises of a better future.

Just like the colonists who set foot in the Americas.

It's just that they are not European criminals, but human elites from pan-Asia. Whether it's ******** or science and technology. They all have enough confidence to despise that unbearable past. Utopia is built under their hands. There is no war and no crime here, all are brothers and sisters.

The contradictions have been resolved in the Old World.

The seeds of human civilization will re-germinate on this soil.

Of course, there are still difficulties.

For example, the metal minerals on this planet are extremely thin, and the reserves of iron, aluminum, and rare earths are incredibly low. Miasma wafting from the ground can reduce a person's immunity and even cause illness.

However, these problems can be solved, and metal minerals can be solved by the space mining module of the colony ship. The miasma that plagued the colonists' health was only a spore of a special fungus, and biologists quickly solved this problem by developing an antiseptic to restrain its breeding.

However, in addition to these. There is a more serious problem.

That's the solar wind.

The planet does not have a stable magnetic field and is almost zero resistant to particles thrown from red dwarfs.

The distance between the planet and the star at 581g is only 0.15 AU. Only 0.15 times the distance between the Earth and the Sun. From time to time, the solar wind blowing from the red dwarf star seems to be directly exhaled on the face of human beings, and without the protection of the geomagnetic field, all electronic devices can only be used in an electromagnetic shielding environment.

It's as if hundreds of EMPs are constantly bombarding this planet.

In order to improve accuracy, some physical experiments involving the atomic level had to be carried out on colonial ships located in space.

Later, in order to avoid damage to the colony ship by the solar wind of the red dwarf, the colony ship was re-accelerated, driving it to the back of the sun, and at the same time entering the synchronous orbit of the star from the synchronous orbit of the planet. In this way, the colony ship is always separated from the "sun" by a planet, which can avoid the frequent harassment of the colonial ship by the solar wind, and at the same time ensure the normal progress of scientific research activities.

Human production and life, which is extremely dependent on electronic devices, have been seriously affected, and even if people later solved the problem of solar wind with a wide-area magnetic field shield, this effect still exists.

After all, no matter how wide this magnetic field shield is, it is impossible to envelop the entire planet under its protection.

But the good thing is that humans are very adaptable.

After getting used to these difficulties, everything gradually went smoothly. All cities are built under electromagnetic shields, and when viewed from space, they look down like an umbrella stretched out around the dawn and dusk line, under which humans live.

Everything is so beautiful.

Until they discovered that there were "aborigines" on the planet.

They are a very aggressive group of creatures that resemble ants in terms of social form. There are mother insects responsible for reproducing the population, war insects responsible for hunting, and worker insects responsible for digging burrows.

In general, they live 20-30 kilometers deep on the back of the sun. The geothermal heat here is hot enough to counteract the cold on the surface of the sun, and it melts the ice embedded in the ground into water.

It wasn't until later that it was discovered that the tens of millions of rivers of varying thicknesses that crisscrossed the surface of the earth were the work of these insects. And their race has existed for millions of years, or their civilization has existed for at least hundreds of thousands of years.

A civilization older than all human civilizations combined.

Although this civilization has not yet been "civilized".

Originally, because the living space of the two sides was too far apart, one was in the morning and dusk line, and the other was in the ground with the sun back. It is possible that both sides have treated each other as "bugs", and humans have been living on this planet for a hundred years without discovering these neighbors.

Until the living space gradually ran out, human beings began to play the idea of going underground and reached out to the "canal" of those insects.

The moment the two sides come into contact is doomed.

War is inevitable!

It stands to reason that in the face of a group of flesh-and-blood bugs, technologically advanced humans will not be left behind, but the reality is far from being as simple as people think.

Human soldiers armed with Gauss rifles thundered away the bugs that scurried to the surface, scientists developed viruses to exterminate them, and orbital satellites dropped by colonies launched ground-penetrating bombs to eliminate underground nests.

Everything went so smoothly that everyone was optimistic that it wouldn't be long before they could claim the underground canals that the bugs had spent tens of thousands of years digging for themselves.

Until a bug wave swept through the border city.

Millions of arthropod insects are flocking to human cities without fear of death. And with the devastating momentum, it swept through the entire human colony around the Morning and Dusk Line.

The flames of the explosion stained the sky red, but it still couldn't stop the swarm.

It was like the end of the world.

Everyone was stunned, they never thought that these bugs that were crushed by them would burst out with such powerful combat power. Although their shells can easily penetrate these fragile flesh, they are still powerless in the face of a tidal wave of insects.

Whether it's biological weapons or genetic bombs, people have tried everything to exterminate these bugs, but have contributed to the evolution of these bugs. Just as humans have spent hundreds of years without eradicating mosquitoes and cockroaches, these insects cannot be killed.

In order to fight humans, the bugs have undergone intense natural selection to produce genetically similar individuals with very different traits. The original mother worm, war worm, and worker worm further differentiated, and finally evolved into an existence that is difficult for humans to ignore.

The Spitter's acid is enough to corrode the armor that pierces through a tank, and the Ripper's diamond-hard claws are enough to tear through a human soldier's carbon nanobody armor. The hundred-meter-long besieger body surface is inlaid with metamorphic rock crust, like earthworms plowing the ground, arching human cities into ruins. Later, people even had to limit the use of nuclear weapons and biological weapons to prevent the bugs from evolving further.

Hundreds of thousands of years of civilization have erupted into its roots, a civilization that humans cannot understand, and with its unique cruelty, it has declared sovereignty over this planet.

It takes 18 years for humans to reach adulthood from birth, and the slowest of these bugs takes only a week. They devour the corpses of their own kind, using the organic matter to breed new individuals. Facts have proved that in the end, people are laughing and crying to find that the logistics of this Zerg civilization are measured by human market economics, and the "cost" of a xenomorph that can only tear through carbon nanoarmor with sharp claws is even lower than the magazine of a Gauss rifle.

These creatures, who don't know what death is, test the logistics of humanity with a tidal wave.

Squeezed into living space by bugs, people once retreated to a space station in low-earth orbit. Even if there is no advanced science and technology, but there are no resources that can turn it into combat effectiveness, we have to admit the fact that we are at a disadvantage in the war against these bugs.

Fortunately, although some bugs can fly, they can't fly out of the atmosphere.

A term has been coined to encapsulate all these aberrant evolved bugs, xenogene.

In this way, the thousand-year "era of war" began.

The war between humans and xenomorphs. (To be continued.) )
