Objects smaller than the previous camouflaged meteorites were launched from the cluster in the direction of the gaseous planet at the very edge of the star system in which the Kerrs were located.

Halfway through to the destination planet, the object unfolds an umbrella-like structure and ejects trace amounts of ions in the opposite direction.

Ion deceleration propulsion, the advantages and disadvantages are obvious propulsion mode, the advantage is high specific impulse, that is, the fuel energy utilization rate is high, the disadvantage is that the thrust per unit time is small.

It is precisely because of the shortcomings of ion propulsion that the object will start to slow down and propulsion as early as possible in the middle of the journey, and according to calculations, the continuous deceleration of ion propulsion for a long time in the middle of the journey will make the speed of the object drop to a safe range when it is about to reach the destination planet.

However, it is precisely because the collector sees the shortcomings of ion propulsion that he designs ion propulsion deceleration for the object, and the small thrust per unit time also means that the energy released per unit time is small, and there will be an excellent concealment effect in the thermal imaging radar.

After all, electromagnetic waves are energy diminishing as the propagation distance weakens, and the tiny electromagnetic waves released by ion propulsion have been drowned in the electromagnetic waves of the cosmic background before they have been received by the two civilizations in the star system.

After approaching the outermost planet, the object deflects its course towards one of the planet's moons, eventually crashing on top of the moon that has no atmosphere.

Lunar material is mined and transferred into space to create camouflaged meteorites of various sizes with diameters ranging from 10 to 20 kilometers.

After the number reached 10,000, the gatherers began to settle in, camouflage the ionic propulsion on the meteorite, and the mighty meteorite swarm began to move towards the second orbital planet, the rocking star inhabited by the Ox people.

During the camouflage meteorite rain, the spy individuals inside the meteorite began to reorganize their genes and transform themselves into a plural number of tiny individuals, the largest of which was only the size of a human thumb, and these tiny individuals had an extremely strong polymer carapace on the outside, and were extremely resistant to acids and alkalis, with a solid helium cube and an ultra-miniature antimatter reactor containing 0.1 grams of antimatter.

When the meteorite shower is three-quarters of the way through the journey, the space units anchored in the rocking star's peri-orbit begin to act.

I saw that the other party suddenly disappeared, and then appeared more than a thousand kilometers on the side of the meteorite rain as if teleporting, which is a very close distance in space.

As early as the beginning of the operation, the collectors expected that the space units anchored in the near-orbit of the planet would take action against the meteorite shower, the volume of meteorites is more than ten kilometers, and the power of one is enough to change the climate on a global scale, and now it is 10,000, and the shock wave alone can sweep the world.

The meteorite rain created by the gatherers is not an exaggeration to say that it is a cosmic natural disaster that can destroy the surface ecology of a planet.

However, although the gatherers expected the other party to intercept the meteorite, they did not expect how to intercept it, and the other party's teleportation ability was something they did not expect, and they were a little worried that the plan would be disrupted.

But even if the collectors are worried, they can't communicate with other meteorite clans, because there is a great possibility of exposure, and the meteorite rain must be silent from the beginning of the departure, and there will no longer be any radio communication, so as not to be received by the other party, and now these space units are only more than a thousand kilometers away from them, as long as the other party has radio signal reception technology, the communication between the collectors will inevitably be discovered.

The collectors finally decided to continue with the original plan, with the ion propulsion closing and dismantling, erasing all traces of life of the camouflaged meteorite, and then shrinking to the very center of the camouflaged meteorite, and not taking any action against the space units that came to intercept the meteorite rain except for external observations.

With the help of the light of the stars, the collectors vaguely observed that these space biological units released some things towards the meteorite collectors, but it was not clear what they were, and those things were too small. Book bar

However, the gatherers soon found out.

After these objects have been flying for a period of time, they come into contact with meteorites, and a series of explosions occur, and some extremely corrosive liquids corrode some meteorites into a liquid state.

The laser that the collectors expected did not appear, and those space units released some kind of corrosive explosives, and more than 10,000 meteorites with a volume of more than ten kilometers were blown into millions of small fragments, and the tiny individuals gathered in the center of the camouflaged meteorites were also scattered and mixed in the meteorite fragments because of the explosion.

The overall direction of travel of these fragments has not changed due to the destruction, because the gravitational pull of the planet itself and the strong inertia carried by the original large meteorite period, the fragment group is still moving towards the second orbital planet.

It's just that there is no threat now, and small fragments will not reach the surface of the planet, they will vaporize due to atmospheric friction, and smaller fragments will be balanced by air resistance and falling speed, and even if they fall to the ground, they will not produce a power comparable to that of a nuclear bomb, at most equivalent to the power of a bullet.

Just when the gatherers thought that these space units would leave, they did not expect that the space units released a large number of small space units, and these small space units formed groups and moved towards the meteorite debris group.

As if to detect the meteorite shower, small space units are just scurrying around within the meteorite debris group.

These small creatures had no way to spot the gatherers, and the smallest was a small fragment the size of a human head, and a tiny individual with the size of a thumb was really not enough to attract attention in the vast universe.

Even if you switch to thermal imaging, you can't tell the difference, although the tiny individuals have their own body temperature, but because the meteorite has been bombed, the meteorite fragments also have their own residual heat that has not yet dissipated.

Some tiny individuals, seeing the right moment, quietly attach themselves to the outer carapace of these small creatures, which have no nerve endings, so there is no sense of touch.

Through chemical coordination, a hole of the magnitude of a single cell is carved out in the carapace, and then the tiny individual changes its life form, transforms into a plural single-cell congener, drills into the hole, and carefully avoids the nerve fibers of the small organism, disguises itself as an ordinary humoral cell in the organism, avoids the immune system, and completes the invasion and hiding task.

It's part of the Gatherers' plan.

After searching for it to no avail, the small biota returned to the larger organism, bringing the gatherers into the larger organism as well.

The remaining tiny individuals fall along with the meteorite fragments towards the surface of the destination planet.

Meteorite fragments fell, turning into red lotus arrows, and the vaporized material flow dragged behind, like the body of an arrow, with the high temperature brought by friction with the atmosphere, these meteorite fragments will be vaporized by the high temperature before they fall to the ground, and merge with the atmosphere of this planet.

However, the tiny individuals mixed in the meteorite fragments do not need to worry about this problem, they are too small, and the atmospheric drag and gravitational force will no longer provide the tiny individuals with falling acceleration after they accelerate to a certain extent, so the degree of atmospheric friction will not be very strong, let alone the problem of high temperatures.

The resistance plate was unfolded, and the speed of the tiny individual's descent further decreased, and finally, the moment it reached the ground, nothing was generated except for a small crater in the ground equal to the size of the tiny entity.

After looking around with his eyes and making sure that there is nothing out of the ordinary, the tiny individual grows several pairs of jointed feet, buries the small pit they have smashed, and travels into the distance by changing the camouflage color.
