Chapter 214: Frontier Position
Crossing the void and crossing the vast distances between planets, he finally arrived at the 'Sentinel Star' that served as a springboard to attack the aliens. ↙ Eighty-eight ↙ ↙ reading ↙, .※.o◇
This is a planet with a mass 1.27 times smaller than Twilight, so it will appear smaller in terms of gravity, with a satellite in orbit, a red surface and a fast rotation, about five or six hours to complete a sunrise and sunset.
There is no geomagnetic field on this planet, and Hogu speculates that it is supposed to be the disappearance of the geomagnetic field caused by the cooling of the planet's inner core.
Due to the low gravitational pull and the lack of geomagnetic protection, the solar wind blows a lot of gas from the earth's surface into the universe, and the planet's atmosphere gradually thins.
The temperature from the star cannot be locked in by the thin atmosphere, the surface air temperature is kept below zero, and the cooling of the Earth's core means that there will be no more violent geological activity on the planet, but this does not mean that the planet is calm, and the extremely high rotation rate causes the planet to be in superstorms most of the time, with winds reaching nearly 200 meters per second.
Storms erode land, rocks, and mountains, flattening the planet's surface, and the wind carried trillions of trillions of fine sand all day long, striking, striking, and striking, striking, like bullets, and smashing away any obstacles in their path.
The Serens had arrived, landed, and attempted to conquer and establish an interstellar relay station, but failed, and the sand and dust would burrow into any crevices, paralyzing the machinery, and it was not long before the construction of the relay station was terminated due to the high cost of maintenance.
Floating in low-Earth orbit, it acts as a collector for the earlier arrival of the probe, delivering electromagnetic signals to the mothership creatures and arranging towing work.
"At present, the spacing is 400,000 kilometers, the speed limit is 30km/s, the track entry angle is 70 degrees, and the speed is ......"
"Put the unit and the individual and arrange the forward position. →Eight→ Eight→ Read → Book, .↓.o≥" Huo Gu gave instructions to the fellow gatherers.
Following the order, the mothership creatures were at the pole of the planet, and a large number of small pieces of meat were thrown by the mothership creatures, falling from the planet at high speed like rain.
Due to the small mass, these pieces of meat do not reach the conditions of friction and heat generation with the atmosphere, the speed will not increase after reaching a certain threshold, and the constant speed will fall, when the meat pieces are about 5000 meters above the ground, all the pieces of meat have unfolded, forming a mushroom-shaped, slowing down the rate of decline.
Violent sandstorms blew all the time, and many 'mushrooms' were blown far away, and the whole swarm disintegrated under the strong wind.
However, this was also a difficulty that Huogu and the group of gatherers had already anticipated, and the mushrooms that landed quickly took root in place, changing from the attitude of mushrooms to gatherers who could move freely, relying on the radio, and quickly reassembled the group.
They were connected to each other, and within a few days, a succulent protein-covered landscape took shape, standing firm in the wind and dust.
This is the first step, to gain a firm foothold on the planet, and in orbit of the planet, Hogu continues to deliver supplies to the gatherers, water, amino acids, heavy metals, nuclear materials, and so on.
A planet full of sand and dust cannot do photosynthesis, so after gaining a firm foothold, the priority is to build a biological nuclear fission reactor, and with the guidance of Hogu, it is not difficult for collectors to build such a reactor.
Construction began around the reactor, and the gatherers began to explore the planet through growth, and the exploration was divided into two directions, surface and underground.
With the blessing of the reactor, inorganic matter and metal can be obtained from the dust and soil, but water is still very scarce, and the whole planet is like a sponge that has been completely evaporated.
The winds on the ground howled, and as time passed, the part of the surface that the gatherers occupied was buried by the sand, and the planet wiped away the 'stain' on its surface.
The burial of the wind and sand did not cause panic among the gatherers, as they knew that if they continued to dig like this, they would soon find what the cluster was looking for.
In this way, it lasted for more than 30 days, and the gatherers, who were digging rhizomes, went deeper than 10 kilometers underground and excavated the strata accumulated by solid water.
At one time, Sentinel Star was also a planet rich in liquid water, with water reserves even more than ten times that of Twilight, but as the Earth's core cooled, the surface temperature plummeted, the liquid water ocean froze, and the overall volume of the planet became larger.
Taking advantage of the reactor's high temperatures, the gatherers were able to easily get their hands on the liquid water they wanted, and unscrupulously began to expand their populations, growing exponentially, expanding their surface coverage and going deeper into the core.
At some point, the wind on the surface of the planet stopped, and countless spires rose on the earth, they were not as tall as the giant structures on Twilight's body, but they were also several times the height of the tall buildings of humans on the earth, and the wind was divided into countless trickles under the shelter of these buildings, and they were no longer so powerful.
In the area occupied by the gatherers, the sand and dust are gone, the ground is firmly grasped by the rhizomes, the sand and dust have lost the soil in which they exist, and in the center of the occupied area, the sky can already be seen at night full of stars.
The rhizomes that go deep into the ground, cross many formations, grow unimpeded all the way down, and without the scorching lava, the deep layers are just digging relatively hard rock, which is almost as easy as eating and drinking for gatherers who have already mastered the technology of single-molecule drilling.
By feeling the change in gravity, the gatherers knew they were in contact with the Earth's core.
They tried to drill with a single molecular rhizome, but it was very difficult, and they only got a little bit of debris, which shows that the core of the earth has reached an unimaginable degree of hardness, the hardest thing that the gatherers know so far, after all, it is not surprising that the mass of an entire planet weighs on the core.
Relying on the Earth's core, building shafts and filling them with liquid water, the collectors began to build the aliens' hydrostatic fusion reactors exactly as Hogu had planned.
Today's construction does not require any large wheels that spin at high speeds, and the planet's gravity can be used as an alternative, and with the energy generated by nuclear fusion, the entire planet begins to heat up, and the temperature gradually enters a habitable temperature above zero.
Of course, this is a side effect, nuclear fusion brings more energy, speeding up the construction of the gatherers, various honeycombs that rely on reactors to make compounds have been raised, the infrastructure has been completed, and the gatherers have begun to produce planetary fortifications and mothership creatures......
On the equator of the planet, there are many 'silk threads', and the cloud platform built in the twilight has been reproduced and built by the collectors, with a whole planet as the background, and there are more and more huge mothership creatures, which are gradually beginning to take shape. 11
