"Did you find anything?" The gatherer asked.

The collectors searched for the three-star system according to the instructions given by their kind, but found nothing, except for finding a planet with a complex biosphere and an intelligent species on it that was moving from barbarism to civilization.

It seems that this star system really has nothing.

"Nothing was found, not even a trace."

The clan responds to the gatherer's inquiry, and this answer raises questions for the gatherer.

"Strange thing, if the four coordinates in the star chart are not the coordinates of the enemy or the colony, what is the reason for the destroyed civilization to mark these coordinates on the star map?"

Even if it's boring, it's not this boring method, it's a star picture segment found in a battlefield, and the computer host of a warship will stuff some useless things?

It can't be the four coordinates that some crew member working on the bridge is bored and randomly marked, right?

While the gatherers were puzzled, their kindred offered their own thoughts on the questions.

"Maybe time has diluted the traces, if that civilization's materialology is very low, five thousand years is enough time to wash away everything about them."

After some thought, the gatherer replied.

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

……

"Attention all! Start slowing down! ”

With the command of the leader of the cluster in the sub-light state, the entire cluster of leaping creatures began to annihilate the antimatter shield directly in front of them and slowed down, and the huge light dispersed, and they also felt a powerful recoil force applied to every cell of their body.

The rainbow in front of it spread out, and the streamer swept to the back of the Leaping Creature Cluster, and the stars that broke away from the Rainbow were at first wrapped in blue light, and after passing through the Leaping Creature Cluster, they gradually turned from blue to red, and finally disappeared without a trace.

When the speed drops to a certain point, the rainbow is completely dismembered, and the stars return to their correct positions, and in front of the Leaping Cluster is the star to which they are going.

"It's a blue dwarf star system, with very little mass, only two terrestrial planets, and they are very small."

After arriving at the periphery of the star system, the collectors in the cluster immediately released the radio radar, and the high-power radar waves swept across the entire star system and then reflected back, so that the leaping organisms could grasp the general environmental information of the destination star system.

The scarcity of planetary matter means that it will be difficult for the Gatherers to colonize the next stage, because it takes a lot of matter to breed megastructures, and among them, star orbits and antimatter macrostructures are necessary to colonize stars.

In order for the gatherers to gain a foothold in this star system and complete the construction task, they may need to contact their distant counterparts and let them transport large amounts of material over there.

"But this also saves the cost of our survey, in order to save trouble, these two stars are called No. 1 and No. 2, and the cluster is divided into two batches, you go to the No. 1 star that is closer to the star, and we go to the No. 2 star that is closer to the star." The leader of the cluster said.

In addition to colonization, the gatherers have another task, which is to survey this star system and find out what is relevant to civilization.

Based on a segment of a star found in a space battlefield, the collectors found four coordinates, and the current blue dwarf star system is one of them. Parkway

"Okay."

The instructed gatherers responded to the order.

The Leap Cluster crossed the Kuiper Belt and entered the star system, where it split into two clusters of 10 million terrestrial planets.

Due to its orbital position, although the planet in the first orbit is closer to the star, it is the first planet to be reached by the leaping creatures.

In the orbit of the planet, the gatherers are not in a hurry to land, but first survey the atmospheric environment of the planet in orbit.

"It is a desolate planet, and there are often sandstorms, everyone should pay attention to the wind and dust measures, otherwise there will be fine sand running into the breathing tube during the breathing process, although there will be no danger to life, but the feeling is very uncomfortable."

After some confirmation, the collectors reminded the newly born that individuals who had not personally experienced this kind of planetary colonization would most likely ignore some of the information in their genetic memory.

Reminded by the gatherer, the newly born people responded.

"Got it, we'll take notice."

Leapfrog creatures anchor in orbit and drop a large number of gatherer individuals, which change their appearance to flatten their bodies and slow down the momentum of the fall to complete the planet's landing.

The landed gatherers burrowed into the ground and began to transform themselves in a shallow position, their cocoons swelling, and numerous rhizomes extending from the sarcoma expanded outward.

Due to the scarcity of water on this terrestrial planet, the rhizomes expanded rapidly at first, and soon began to appear exhausted, and the water elements needed to expand were only synthesized by collecting scarce hydrogen and oxygen molecules from the external environment to synthesize trace amounts of water.

However, the gatherers soon got the good news from their fellow people who had landed elsewhere on the planet.

"Ice has been found at the North and South Poles, which can be used as starting resource points."

"Let's start with these two places as the center."

Gatherers scattered throughout the planet began to change their strategy, prioritizing the expansion of the north and south poles, while the north and south poles of the gatherers expanded and extended in the direction of the equator.

After the two sides completed the docking of the rhizomes, with the ice as the material base, the speed of rhizome expansion began to accelerate, and countless rhizomes of the entire planet were intertwined together, and they wriggled in the shallow layers below the earth's surface, weaving a large web with their bodies.

No, it can't be said to be a large net, there are holes in the net, and the rhizomes braided together leave only sparse gaps, which should be called 'cloth', a cloth that covers the entire surface of the planet.

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

They found traces on the surface that only formed after a large amount of liquid water had flowed.

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

Mountains and rivers are formed by the erosion of flowing water, so as long as there are rivers, there will inevitably be mountains, and in the case of rivers, as long as there is an environment with a large amount of liquid water, it is not difficult for stellar light to evaporate liquid water to form rainfall, thus forming rivers.

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