Chapter 429: Pay attention to the method of doing things
Occupying a planet is a troublesome matter, after all, it is not a moon, it is a main-order planet, with a surface area of 4.6 billion square kilometers, and most importantly, it is full of various harsh environments that hinder expansion.
Collectors have their own set of solutions to these problems.
After using the rainwater to gain a firm foothold on the terrestrial planet, and after planting rhizomes and covering the hive, a pool was built to gather hydrochloric acid solution and divided the pool into several small pools.
What to do? Quite simply, generate electricity.
By inserting carbon and metal rods into a hydrochloric acid pool, a simple battery is formed to obtain electrical energy, which can be used to disassemble and process the material into organic materials.
The rhizome looted and plundered the outside world with impunity, and the molecular matter was delivered to the inside of the hive through the rhizome, where it was processed and disassembled.
Of course, not all of them, some are left for storage and used when needed.
All the collected resources will be fed back into the industrial development after being combed by the hive, the number of rhizomes is increasing, and the hives are rising from the ground and standing on the barren land.
Once it had gained a foothold, chlorine was no longer a problem, and when there were sufficient resources to deal with the effects of chlorine, it began to call on its fellow citizens to prepare hydrogen and oxygen, and instructed the rhizomes to dig deep, deep shafts in the ground, and inject liquid water after the excavation.
This is also done to produce liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, which can then be used as fuel for the next step of planetary expansion.
The unifying force was extremely strong, and after clearing a level of ground, a 30-year-long biomass rocket was conceived by the collectors.
In a calculated moment, with little wind current, the rockets were given the order to launch, and the liquid hydrogen burned and spewed out a pale blue tail flame, which rushed neatly into the cloudy sky.
In the sky they spread out, using lateral propulsion to change their trajectory, falling at a distance of about 9,000 kilometers from the beginning, and quickly taking root in that place to breed a hive, building hydrochloric acid pools to obtain electricity, expanding their rhizomes to loot resources, and then creating more living rockets to repeat what they had done before.
With this expansion model, the Gatherers' occupation of the planets is exponentially expanding, and they don't need to take into account any restrictions such as geographical conditions, which are meaningless to them.
Just like it was simulated in the spiritual realm, it took the collectors less than a month to completely occupy the earth's surface, and the shallow crust was also under control, and the chlorine planet was similar, its radius was even 300 kilometers smaller than the earth's, and it took the collectors more than a month to complete the surface occupation.
After completing the occupation of the surface, they began to modify the atmospheric environment, collecting the atmospheric structure and liquid water on the entire surface of the planet, and the surface was completely covered and bound by rhizomes.
Without the obstruction of the atmosphere, the light of the stars shines directly on the surface, but this is not a problem, but it gives the collectors better light energy resources to drive the hive to process materials, as for the problem of overheating, liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen can easily take away this extra heat.
As far as the eye can see, the surface of the entire planet has changed to black and brown under the sunlight, and if you look at the surface in detail, you can see that the surface is densely packed with creatures like long snakes.
At this time, the hive has been buried in the ground, and the place is vacated for the rhizome to receive light to obtain light energy, and the light energy is converted into electrical energy for the hive to process materials.
From a macroscopic perspective, the entire planet looks like it's being slowly eaten by some kind of virus, but it's not wrong to understand it this way.
At the beginning, the gatherers on the planet were instructed to expand in two directions, one was the sky and the other was underground, the rhizome extended downward, and the head of a single molecule could easily penetrate the stratum to achieve vertical expansion, the only problem was the high temperature from the earth's core, which was solved by them using a large amount of liquid nitrogen to cool down, but it would be relatively slow.
Compared with underground, the construction of the sky is much faster, and the construction of PTZ biology is not difficult, after all, the original design intention of PTZ biology is to be fast and economical, and the biological design around these two cores is carried out.
The rapid construction of megastructures is the patent of the supreme will, although the collectors can also build megastructures, but not fast enough, the design of gimbal creatures solves their problems in this regard, so that they can quickly transport resources to the universe.
Biological rockets carry a large amount of organic materials to break through gravity and enter a fixed orbit, and these biological rockets gather together and combine into a biological embryo on a fixed orbit, which is the initial prototype of PTZ organisms.
After the gimbal is bio-formed, it will use its own hydrogen and oxygen propulsion to adjust the orbital position to keep it synchronized with the rotation of the planet, and then throw a long tentacle downward, while the gatherers on the ground will build the foundation of the giant structure upwards, but it is much smaller than the giant foundation.
Doing so will further shorten the construction time, and since there is no resistance, the gatherers will be the first to complete the upward foundation, concentrating on the downward expansion and the occupation of matter.
During the expansion, the underground was 500 kilometers deeper, and at the beginning of the discovery of uranium, an important resource that the tribe desperately needed.
The minerals are lumpy, black-brown in color, and based on the genetic knowledge of the population, it was initially assumed that these were bituminous uranium deposits.
Uranium ore can be used to refine uranium, which in turn can be refined into uranium-235, which is an indispensable and important resource in the reactors of current collectors, whether for nuclear fusion or nuclear fission.
Of course, it's not just uranium, but other radioactive materials that are important resources that cannot be mined on satellites.
The discovery of uranium veins has given the gatherers a stimulus, and if they can find the first one, they will naturally find the second, and the collectors' enthusiasm for expansion is even higher.
"Speed up! Resources are ahead! ”
"Ahh I've found a vein of gold! ”
"I'm a silver mine here!"
"It's uncomfortable, why is it all nickel iron ore on my side!"
……
The life field is a gathering of information exchanges, the planet is falling step by step in their greed, and in the foreseeable future, the entire planet will be under the control of the gatherers.
However, Chu did not want to wait, and decided to move forward with the next step of its expansion plan.
