Chapter 213: Expedition to the Other Side
"Twilight, I'm leaving. ¤八¤八¤Read¤Book,.☆.←o"
[Do you really want to do this?] Isn't it a little too aggressive? Perhaps it could be left to perpetuity. 】
"No, I'm not at ease if I leave it to them completely."
"We must strike before those aliens can organize a new lún gōng."
Huo Gu replied categorically, whether it is a weapon or a cosmic organism, everything is ready, and all that remains is to attack, and you can't hesitate, you will lose if you hesitate.
At this time, in low-earth orbit, a huge monster has begun to take shape, hundreds of kilometers in size, covering the sky and the sun, the space creature independently designed by the gatherers, it is not even qualified to be an ant around it, this is the mothership creature designed by Huo Gu based on the alien mothership as a template.
This starry sky behemoth is not completely completed, but the main keel and energy reactor are basically completed, and the rest of the parts can be fully completed in the process of rushing.
[Since you are so persistent, then I can only wish you victory in the expedition, but unfortunately I can't help you anymore. 】
"It's okay, you've helped me enough, I'll take care of the rest, and I'll come back with victory and wait for my good news."
After a brief goodbye, Hogu gave an order to the mothership creature as its thinking carrier, at the vent of the tail, the crystal is electrified to release heat rays, focusing on the metallic hydrogen, the high temperature promotes the vaporization and sublimation of metallic hydrogen, and after a short period of becoming a gas, it forms a plasma state, and then by the action of the electrostatic field, the charged particles are ejected from the tail.
That's right, this is the alien pulse engine, and now it's also the technology on Huogu's side, so it's a matter of course to replicate the internal structure of the sample, understand how it works, and then make biological adjustments, and turn the work-free propulsion technology into your own use.

The scorching tail flame lit up, and the giant mothership creature broke free from the gravitational shackles of its orbit, slowly widening the distance between it and Twilight, and gradually sailed towards the target star in the distance.
During the set-off, Hogu's attention was focused on the biological pulse on the tail of the mothership creatures, which was an expedition against aliens, but at the same time, it was also the first trial voyage of the mothership creatures.
According to Huogu's idea, at the same time as the expedition, by the way, as a sea trial, many problems encountered will be solved together, anyway, with its ability, as long as there is no shortage of materials, there will be no major problems.
If there is one part of the mothership organism that Hogu is most worried about, it is the part of the biological pulse, that is, the pulse propulsion technology obtained from the aliens and successfully biologicalized.
The essence of this technology is to trap a ball of plasma and then use an electric field to strip away the charged particles and emit them, which is naturally fine for machinery, but not for living organisms...... It is important to know that in order to ensure sufficient pulse thrust, the temperature of the plasma is constant at about 15,000 degrees Celsius.
In order to combat such high temperatures, Hogu uses hafnium alloy bones as the inner wall, with a hafnium carbide coating on the surface, and liquid nitrogen flowing in the capillaries to cool down to ensure that the propulsion organ encapsulated with plasma will not be burned out due to high temperatures, and the outermost side is wrapped with a thick insulation layer, and the mothership organisms will not be affected by the high temperature, which is theoretically very safe.
However, Huo Gu is not at ease, in the final analysis, it is only theoretical safety, and whether there will be mistakes in practice must be really tried to know, and practice is the only criterion for testing the truth.
Now that he had confirmed with his own eyes that there were no anomalies, Hogu was finally able to put his mind at ease with the biological impulse and concentrate on other things.
As an organism, the daily expenses of mothership organisms are very large, after all, the cells of the whole body are waiting to be fed and waiting for the nutrients delivered by the blood to sustain life.
Fortunately, with the fission reactor as the energy core, it is not difficult to use temperature-sensing cells to produce nutrients.
However, Hogu did not rely solely on the fission reactor for nutrients, otherwise the pressure on the fission reactor would be too great.
Huogu also added some moss-like biological tissues to the surface of the mothership creatures, which can photosynthesize to produce nutrients for the mothership creatures, so to speak, as long as there is light, the mothership creatures will not starve to death, even if there is no light, they can rely on nuclear fission to maintain life activities for a long time, which still does not include low-energy consumption modes such as hibernation.
As Hogu examines the status of the mothership's creatures, a collector who is a distraction asks.
"Will, why don't we organize a large group and attack the enemy's home planet directly, but go to a planet where there is nothing."
This time, their destination is not the alien's home planet, Seren, but a terrestrial planet between the orbits of the planets Seren and Twilight.
The gatherer couldn't understand why the Supreme Will's strategy was clearly aimed at aliens, and why the destination of the voyage was such an unrelated planet.
"Because we have a star between us and the alien home planet, that used to be our advantage against the aliens, and it is also an obstacle to our current attack."
"The star will block radio communication, there is no relay, and it is impossible to maintain communication with the twilight side if you cross the star to attack the enemy's large swarm, what will be the consequences of disconnecting the communication, you don't need me to explain it in detail, right?"
"In addition, after bypassing the star, due to the large illumination of the star, the back-facing light will inevitably form a large area of shadow, and the large cluster that has just crossed the star will be immediately discovered by the enemy and become a live target.
"The same pit, the aliens stepped on, we can't follow it, we have to learn the lessons of others."
Hogu patiently explained his strategic intentions to the gatherers.
"Yes...... What does this have to do with going to that planet? What are we going to do there? The gatherer asked.
"Occupy that planet, we can get a forward position to attack the alien home planet, and the aliens who control the resources of an entire planet are obviously impossible to be completely defeated by us at one time, and we need to be prepared for a protracted war."
"Starting from that planet to attack the aliens, you don't need to worry about the impact from the stars, and the route is obviously much shorter, as the planet rotates, the distance between the alien home planet will be further shortened, and it can be attacked and defended, and it can also be used as a logistical supply for the rear, so this voyage is of great strategic significance."
"I see."
The gatherer showed a sudden emotion, it had only been born for a long time, unlike those of the same race of Perpetuals, who were meticulous and complex, and were not very good at looking at things in many ways.
"Oh, by the way, there is another important reason, after using that planet as a frontier position, it will attract the strategic attention of the aliens, and it can be regarded as a kind of protection in disguise for Twilight, it has done enough for us, there is no need to put it in danger again." 11
