A blinding glow was released, and a large structure broke away from the speed of light and appeared within a star system that was a cluster of gatherers sharing the same gravitational ring.

Collectors who enter the star system immediately diffuse radar waves to scan the internal environment of the destination star system.

Circles of radar waves spread at the speed of light, scanning the environment of the star system in a matter of hours, feeding information from each object back to the cluster of collectors.

"A four-body star system with eight planets and two gaseous planets ......"

"The abundance of matter is much higher than expected, and it seems that this star system is most likely formed by the merger of two double stars, or a single star and three stars."

"The latter is more likely, and the stars of the binary star system are too massive to form too many planets."

"Prioritize the search for satellites, this kind of low-gravity star, which is easy to mine and quick to obtain resources, so we don't have so much time to waste."

"The target has been chosen, and it is about four light minutes away from our current distance."

"Let's go!"

The leader of the swarm issued a command, and the swarm as a whole traveled at the speed of light toward its destination four minutes away from them.

Unlike sub-light travel, this kind of light-speed travel using space-time distortion does not cause a shrinkage effect, and the collectors also plan the distance they will travel by using the formula of time (t) X speed (V) = distance (s).

Four minutes later, the gatherers arrived at the near-orbit of one of the gas giant's moons.

The colony dropped a large number of lumpy organisms and a fusion furnace into the satellite, and the collectors who landed on the satellite with their softness, began to build a hive on the spot, and then relied on the fusion furnace to form a material circulation network to disassemble and combine the chemicals needed by the various clusters.

A deep pit is dug into the satellite, and a mixture of non-condensing solutions is added to it, and the liquid metallic hydrogen necessary for the construction of the gravitational ring is made with the help of liquid pressure.

Biological rockets have sprung up from the ground, fueled by combustible substances such as liquid methane, carrying processed liquid metallic hydrogen and other chemicals into space.

The biological rocket gathers in the near-orbit of the satellite and gradually evolves into eight large meat blocks, and the large ring-mounted structure is conceived and spliced in the ever-expanding meat block, and it takes five days to build a prototype of the ring, and the final gravitational ring is expected to be four times the size of the gravitational ring currently used by the gatherer cluster.

On the seventh day of the completion of the annular orbit, the collectors accelerated the energy of the particles in the ring, and in three days, the particles accelerated by half to form a gravitational ring.

Subsequently, eight gravitational rings are arranged in a row to form a long cylindrical array, and the faster-than-light mechanism is constructed based on the gravitational rings.

It took about fourteen days in Earth time for the gatherers to finally complete the task of building a superstructure that could exceed the speed of light.

However, before the collectors had time to celebrate, they observed a change in brightness from the star.

This change in the brightness of the star, familiar to collectors, is the scythe of death, a precursor to an impending supernova explosion! Night Night Chinese

"Leave!"

The leader of the cluster did not hesitate to order, and the clans on the satellite did not hesitate to abandon it, and the cluster and the pressure giant structure that had not been completed for a long time entered the superluminal speed one after another, and went to other star systems.

With the explosion of one star in the four-body star system, a terrifying gamma-ray burst is released, disintegrating all stars except other stars in a matter of hours, from large planets to small meteorites.

Rather than being saddened by the death of their own kind, the gatherers do not have the same set as humans, and when they arrive in a new star system, they begin to familiarize themselves with the environment in the star system, and then exploit the resources.

This time, with a pressure structure, the Gatherers made a beeline for a gas giant, leaving a fist-sized lump of flesh in the periorbit of the gas giant.

The cluster then travels to the asteroid belt within the star system, from where it brings a lot of material resources to the meat blocks.

The lump of flesh expands and builds a large space biological platform, from which a straw hangs down from the gas giant below, and the internal gas of the gas giant is pumped up by the internal fusion reactor to feed the biological pump.

The pumped gas is sorted and purified by cells, and then transported to the pressure structure in a sorted manner.

The pressure structure that obtains hydrogen transfers hydrogen to a pipe formed by a gravitational ring at the front of it, and with the help of the strong gravitational force of the gravitational ring, the hydrogen is compressed into liquid metallic hydrogen.

Similarly, if it is helium, it is sent to a gravitational ring where it is compressed into solid helium.

It took about a week for production to get on track, and the gaseous collection megastructure that can extract gases from gaseous giants was fitted with gravitational rings to make it faster-than-light.

Clusters are in full swing to start building new megastructures.

There are a lot of materials produced, and the capacity of the megastructures has always been efficient, but carrying them has been a problem, so the gatherers have built storage megastructures, which are specifically used to store material resources.

Constructing this biological megastructure is not as cumbersome as the pressure megastructure and gaseous collection megastructure, and its internal structure is not complicated, requiring only a set of faster-than-light organs.

The most striking feature of the storage structure compared to other giants is its long keel and a single gravitational ring.

The diameter of the gravitational ring is very large, the keel extends backwards, it is a circle of skeletons, used to support a huge volume, and the biological metal skeleton is attached to the negative material pipes, through which the negative matter filtered out by the gravitational ring energy layer is transferred to the rear, which is used to distort time and space, and move faster than the speed of light.

The storage giant is inherently equipped with a single large fission reactor and a small number of biological pulses for steering, and the main performance pursuit of the collector is to store materials, so the internal life support cycle is compressed and simplified to the extreme, and the space inside the organism is maximized, and the movement is basically completed by distorting space-time, and the steering is done by relying on biological pulses.

Although the structure is simple, due to the huge amount of resources required, the cluster concentrated all its efforts on completing the storage structure, which took about 20 days to complete.

After completion, the cluster of collectors selects a satellite and begins to mine the material resources of the satellite in large quantities and load them into the storage giant.

After twelve days of resource production and material gathering, the star's brightness began to change again.

Knowing that the strike was coming, the Gatherers did not hesitate to terminate all their current missions, and collectively entered the speed of light, heading to the new destination star that had been prepared for a long time.
