Chapter 424: A New Home (Part I)

You have to be careful when you get close to the star, you can't get too close, too close will cause your own heat to be too high, and then heat dissipation will be a very troublesome problem, at the beginning it was not a mothership creature, there are not so many reserve resources to squander, now it only has a kilogram of mass, cut the mass of exoskeleton and light sail, and the quality of resources it can control is even less.

At the same time, Chu must also maintain a relatively high speed state, too low speed will cause it to fall into the star, it has no propulsion organs, it is completely dependent on inertia in motion, there is no way to do pulse propulsion, and there is no fuel to allow it to do so, so in the distance to the star, Chu must have enough vigilance.

The problem of stellar distance also makes another problem obvious, at first there is no way to judge the distance between yourself and the star, with its perspective is to see a huge ball of light standing at the end of the distance, it can only judge by feeling, with the current state this is a very dangerous thing, the best choice should be to use radar waves, through the round-trip time of radar waves, to judge the distance between their current and the star.

Unfortunately, it couldn't do it at first, and at this time it didn't have such a material basis, let alone be able to make radar waves.

The gravitational attraction of the star at different distances is also different, so it can't waste its current speed too much, so when it has just reached the light conditions required to meet its own life consumption, it immediately turns the light sail, and its own trajectory is deflected into a circular motion around the star.

The initially hard cone exoskeleton slowly grows a layer of black bacterial blanket, which can carry out photosynthesis and convert stellar light into organic chemical energy, and the material is the metabolic waste of various cells in the primary body, which is reprocessed with light energy, so as to change into nutrients that can be absorbed and utilized.

So far, the two ghost gates in the cross-star journey have been crossed at the beginning, and it is completely safe.

"Let me see where I should make my home."

"There must be a suitable and good place for the development of the community."

"It's better to have liquid water, no matter how much ice you can."

Water is an essential resource, development is not separated from the material base, everything is not out of nothing, water can be decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen elements, and these two elements account for a large proportion of organic materials, at least the amino acids of carbon-based materials, in addition, the collectors are born from water, where the environment is more familiar at the beginning, and the development will be more rapid.

Just like building a house, people always want to choose a place with good feng shui and good lighting to build, and at the beginning I thought so, not necessary, but it is still necessary to spend some effort to find it.

After entering the star system, it is not difficult to find these planets, the reason is very simple, because there is a star as a high-power signal emission source, every moment the star is releasing high-power pulse radiation, after these radiation hit the planet, it will cause the temperature of the planet's photographic side to rise, using this characteristic does not need to use radar waves at the beginning, only need to switch their own perspective to the infrared spectrum, you can from the universe 3K background radiation, clearly' Look at where there are planets, and the spectrum will also feedback the heat distribution, from which you can also deduce whether the planet is a gaseous or solid planet.

"This is a solid-state Earth-like planet...... It's a gaseous gas giant...... Hmmm......"

"How do you choose? The environment of the gaseous planet is too harsh, and the initial development will be more difficult and dangerous, but this kind of planet will generally have some satellites, if the environment is suitable and there is a liquid water environment, it will undoubtedly be the best breeding ground for the population, with small gravity and rich resources, which can be used as a stable resource point. ”

"The problem is that the satellites are so small that it is really difficult to judge whether the satellites orbiting the gas giants are suitable for the development of the population without close observation."

"In general, there will be water resources on earth-like planets, but the difference is only in the physical state, the lava planet is gaseous, the habitable planet is liquid, and the cold planet is solid, if it is not a habitable planet with liquid water, it is not conducive to the development of the race......"

"In the final analysis, my current starting resources are too small, and one kilogram of mass cannot transform the planetary environment."

After thinking about it for a while, Chu decided to try his luck on the side of the gas giant, and if it didn't work, he would go to other planets, and it would be easy to get rid of the gravitational shackles of the star and throw it towards a planet in this star system.

The journey to the planets is still very long, and it takes a lot of time, and it is clear that even if it does not know the distance between the planets and them, it is common sense that they are at least ten astronomical units away from the stars, and even light will be significantly delayed.

During this period, there was plenty of time at first, and it began to use genetic language to design an organism, or a biome, to explore the planet.

The original idea is a kind of carapace, composed of titanium bones, in the form of a sphere, between one and three centimeters in diameter, the center of the sphere is an extremely tiny brain, and it is also a radio communication gate, which can release weak radio signals, because the frequency of the band used is very low, so it does not need too high energy to travel far, and the effective communication distance can reach about 20 kilometers without external electromagnetic interference.

Inside this titanium skeletal sphere, in addition to the central brain, there is another organism, which is also multicellular, but they are small, about three percent of the earth's fleas, relying on macromolecular cilia for movement, and they have a pair of very tiny pincers that can drag matter.

After the design is completed, these designs are expressed in gene language to obtain two copies of the gene blueprint, and then the first time is to carry out genetic rectification of the cells in their own body according to the information of the gene blueprint, and consume their own materials to obtain two copies of biological embryos.

The membrane of the light sail is made of fibrous tissue, and the cells cannot be used because the cells cannot withstand the impact of sub-light hydrogen atoms, let alone slow down, but the light sail skeleton is indeed an extension of the primary limb, at the end of the light sail skeleton, they are slowly swollen up with pieces of meat, each piece of meat is full of nutrients, giving the newly designed two biological embryos suitable for the development of the maternal environment, these creatures are gatherers, and they are also the death squads that are about to go to the planet to explore.

When they reach a certain point in their development, they begin to use the life field channel to teach them what they need to do, as well as some do's and don'ts after landing on the planet.

Time passed slowly, and without the speed of sublight, it was normal for a transplanetary voyage like this to take a lot of time, months or years.

Finally, the gas giant is about to arrive.
