Chapter Twenty-Three: The Discovery of the Thai Mine
Space travel is always long, after all, not every place is suitable for space jumping, so it is not a novelty to travel in space for months or even years. A small fleet of five Leviathans sailed the Black Triangle asteroid belt for nearly thirty days to reach its destination, much later than expected.
Because the road was not as calm as Kelligan imagined, countless crises and traps accompanied the entire asteroid belt, if it weren't for the special physique and sensing ability of the insect swarm, I don't know how many times the road would have been destroyed, no wonder the pirates hiding in the black triangle asteroid belt could still be so rampant in the face of official encirclement.
As soon as he approached this area, the Leviathan could clearly feel the cosmic rays around him intensifying, and in order to ensure the safety of the fleet, Kelrigan could only order four Leviathans to wait at the periphery of this area, and only let one of the Leviathans enter this area. According to Leviathan's detection, this area is not only dense with cosmic rays, but more importantly, there is a strong radiation and energy reaction in the vicinity.
The Leviathan can open magical barriers to block violent energy releases, as well as some radiation and cosmic rays. But this is in the case of radiation and cosmic rays within a certain range, if the cosmic rays and radiation exceed the load of the magic barrier, then the magic barrier will also be powerless, after all, the magic barrier is not a professional radiation and cosmic ray protection, its main role is to defend against material and energy attacks.
The transparent film covered by the black scales on the surface of the Leviathan has the effect of blocking cosmic rays, which was specially designed for the Leviathan when the researchers took into account the various complex situations in the universe, but its ability to withstand it is also extremely limited, at least in today's environment.
"Seventeen percent of the magic barrier burns through, and only eighty-three percent of the cosmic rays and radiation are blocked. The Leviathan's epidermis burns three percent and blocks 97 percent of cosmic rays and radiation. Some radiation and cosmic rays are still entering the Leviathan, and they are increasing over time. ”
"The Leviathan respiratory regulation system is abnormal, the internal air supply is chaotic, and it is being repaired......"
"Leviathan has a large number of larvae dying in its body, and it is recommended to turn on sleep mode."
"Leviathan Nutrient Transport System Abnormal, Attempts to Repair ......"
"Leviathan's epidermis is necrotic and is trying to repair ......"
The pieces of information were summarized in Kelly Gan's mind, making Kelly Gan's expression more and more solemn. She had overestimated the danger of the place, but when she actually sent the Leviathan here, she realized that she had actually underestimated the harsh conditions here.
"Leviathan detects a large number of energy reactions and is being analyzed......"
"That's it. The target is confirmed to be the Thai mine, and the content is being analyzed......"
A lot of information that upset Kelrigan was finally mixed with some favorable information, that is, it was confirmed that the lone wolf's information was true, and that Leviathan had indeed found an asteroid containing Thai ore in this area.
"The target Thai ore content is expected to be between 10 and 170 tonnes with a purity of 17 percent. It belongs to the bonanza. Leviathan detected a vague value from a distance, but it was already exciting for Kelrigan. Even if the asteroid contains only ten tons of Thai ore, it is not a small number. According to the purity of seventeen percent, if all of them are mined, they can almost convert 1.7 million life energy, which is definitely an astronomical amount for the current Zerg.
However, when Kelrigan was excitedly calculating how much Leviathan could hatch with these energies, the information that Leviathan had exchanged again made him unhappy.
"It has been observed that the target Tai mine is slowly releasing energy, which is expected to be related to cosmic rays here."
"Slow release of energy? How is this possible? Kelligan asked incredulously, knowing that this place was so far away from Ullastar that there was no boundary, and the temperature here had reached below -100 degrees. In such an environment, how could it be possible for Taikuang to release its own energy?
"No, we must start to develop the Thai mine as soon as possible, otherwise the loss will be great." Although it is unknown whether the energy release of the Tadao Tai Ore is related to the cosmic rays that Leviathan said, Kelrigan will not allow these Tai Ore to be wasted.
"Can Leviathan land now?" Kelly Gan asked.
"The rate of tissue damage inside the Leviathan has reached three percent. It is expected to stay in this area for a maximum of 0.5 Is-days, otherwise Leviathan will be on the verge of death. Leviathan replied.
"Such powerful cosmic rays?" Kelly Gan was shocked that Leviathan's ability to adapt to harsh environments was obvious to all, and such a powerful creature would be forced to do this.
"Evacuate the radiation area immediately!" Kelly Gan didn't want to lose a Leviathan before the Thai mine was mined, and it seemed that things would have to be considered in the long run.
Leviathan had a laboratory in his body, so Kelrigan immediately ordered the researchers to begin working on the problem.
It took months for researchers to adapt the swarm to a series of cosmic hostile environments, but now it seems that there is still a long way to go. However, the slow release of energy has always been a thorn in Kelly Gan's heart, and although she knows that this energy release will not lose much in a few months, it will make her feel uncomfortable no matter what, as if something that belongs to her is passing away.
When the Leviathan was evacuated, the researchers began to analyze the diseased Leviathan tissue, analyzing the data obtained from it to find the fastest solution. However, this kind of thing is something that Kelly is not anxious about, so she can only wait for the results of the researchers' work.
The two Isri researchers finally sent their results: "Your Majesty, although the data has been preliminarily collated, we still need further research. So we decided to send some swarms into this area, and when the Leviathan retrieved them, we would continue to research them to get the best way to dispense them. ”
"How long will it take to find genes that resist such cosmic rays and radiation?" Kelly Gan asked.
"It is expected that it will take two months, and then we will be able to adjust the Leviathan and the worker ants who are responsible for mining the Thai mine, because the adjustment requires some energy, so it is not recommended to adjust the whole population, we will preserve this achievement, and in the future, when the swarm wants to fight in a similar environment, we will let the swarm evolve temporarily." The researcher said.
"It's good, but I'd like to be faster." Kelly said as she stared at the researcher with scarlet eyes.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The researcher bowed his head in submission. (To be continued......)
