Chapter 516: The Henry Dorf Report
"Dear Comrade Chen Peilin, Comrade Zhuge Wushuang and colleagues of the Military Committee,
By the time you receive this report from the returning Worm III, we have arrived on the home planet of the self-proclaimed Bodogs, a desolate planet. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info Of course, please allow me to describe the situation of this home planet in detail in my next report.
Three days ago, we finally left the warped space around the Giant's galaxy and entered the cluster at the core of the galaxy. The astrophysicists at the School of Physics were undoubtedly correct in their speculation, that there was indeed a very stable space in it, and that preliminary observations showed that the curvature of time here was also synchronized with the outside world. This space is located near a nebula that we call the Silk Scarf Nebula, and the specific situation of the nebula is illustrated by video data in the holographic projection.
We entered the cluster through this small space with 5 times curvature, and God forbid, although the tearing force from the Black Hole Group was destroying the cluster all the time, there were still a small number of clusters that were loose and struggling to hold on when we arrived.
Thank God, we have made a great discovery in a very ordinary galaxy deep in the star cluster, which is an intermittent radio signal. This kind of signal is not even interested in even looking at it in normal times, but it is simply a blessing for us at this time.
The signal came from an asteroid on the edge of the Oort Nebula in the star system, a very ordinary planet that looked like a dirty snowball of ice and rocks. However, the quality is not bad, barely reaching the hydrostatic equilibrium of the star, not a standard spherical shape, it looks like a quail egg, we call it a quail star.
The source of the signal came from a deep rift on the surface of Quail, and in order to get the information we wanted as quickly as possible, we sent the most experienced squadron of ship-based assault troops to carry out the landing. The results were very gratifying, and they found a crashed inner-star probe in the depths of the rift, just like the Voyager we once launched. The details of the probe are explained by our research team in the annex to the report, and I would like to say the incredible part of the probe.
Every time I think about such crazy behavior, I feel like my worldview collapses, and God, you can't imagine that they actually stuffed a living person into a probe less than twenty meters and drifted throughout the star system for more than eighty years. You know, even in the crazy days of Star Wars, we sent a stray dog into space via satellite for decades condemned by animal protection groups.
What's even more terrifying is that the self-proclaimed Bodog, who claims to be nine and three-sixths, was not launched with a full body. All that was fired was his brain, soaked in a jar filled with liquid nitrogen, wrapped in a thick layer of boron-lead alloy and gold leaf. His role is supposed to be similar to that of a biocomputer, mainly adjusting the course of the detectors and studying what they call death ray bursts (gamma radiation emitted by black holes, I guess).
Nine and three-sixths worked in space for sixty years, until the culture medium for survival was depleted, and the freezer was brought into forced hibernation. As soon as our landing team arrived near the probe, the preset program began the awakening program. We sped up the process, and after that we got a lot of information about the Bodogs from three out of nine.
Overall, the history of the Bodogs is a history of survival that pushes the limit. The wandering black holes around the Giant's galaxy often engulf stars at the edge of the cluster emitting lethal streams of gamma rays that hit the Bodog's home star every few hundred years, killing the vast majority of carbon-based life, and surviving even the most radiation-tolerant archaea.
Thanks to the merciful God, there is a huge underground cavern beneath the Standin Mountains, the highest mountain range on the planet Bodog, and the Bodogs do not know why they were formed or when they were formed, but this mountain range contains high concentrations of lead and other heavy metals. Whenever a disaster occurs, the Bodogs take refuge in these caves until the ray storm ends.
From fragile agriculture to industrial society and then to the information society, the process has taken less than 300 years, while the Bodogs have crawled many times. From nothing to development, then to be destroyed in the next ray storm, and then the survivors start over. This process did not end until the Bodogs' home planet lit up with a flash of nuclear fusion.
But then countless flashes of light lit up on the planet Bodog. Shortly after the invention of the hydrogen bomb, the Bodogs blew up the entire surface of their home planet.
The sky was obscured by clouds of dust from the explosion, and the ground was plunged into an icy nuclear winter because sunlight was blocked. Due to the freezing of seawater and ground, a layer of radiation-proof metal layer tens or even hundreds of meters thick has formed on the surface of the ground. The entire parent star is encased in such a radiation-proof artificial crust. All the Borgs were moved to underground cities near the mantle, and the heat radiating from the planet's underground provided the Bodogs with energy.
In this way of almost self-harm, the Bodoge civilization finally entered a normal development path, with rapid development of science and technology and rapid increase in population. During this period, there were also scientific explanations for the countless deathstorms that occurred, and some Bodoge scientists even speculated that they lived in black holes, or at least in close proximity.
This conclusion was contested in the Bodoge society as soon as it appeared, and as a result, the truth became clearer and clearer, and more and more evidence proved that the star field in which the Bodogs lived was hovering on the death line, and this crisis was coming faster and faster. The Bodogs, who had just relaxed, tensed their nerves again and began to design and build the ideal space migration ship, intending to escape from this place. In the meantime, hundreds of probes have been launched, turning into sets of detailed data that have been sent back.
However, the results of these data reactions are becoming more and more pessimistic, according to the cosmic environment restored by these data, there is no possibility of escape from the migrant ships designed and built before. As a result, the previous design scheme was overturned again and again, and a new round of scheme was opened again, and the Bodoge people began a new round of construction boom.
Just as everything was on track, a small black hole was swallowed up by a swarm of black holes, resulting in a gamma-ray burst that far exceeded previous ones. The protective shield thrown by the Bodogs on the surface of the planet was pierced like an old newspaper, and the high-speed particle stream not only penetrated the protective layer, but even partially penetrated the core of the planet, flying out from the other side, blowing away the atmosphere of the planet before leaving.
The Bodogs entered the crisis again, more than ninety percent of the underground city was destroyed, and everyone in the underground city was killed. Not just people, everything that has life no longer exists. Only a few recently built dungeons deep in the earth's mantle have survived, but most of them have also contracted mild radiation sickness and are in dire straits.
Population decline, undernourishment, deterioration of the ecological environment, neonatal malformations...... Difficult circumstances forced the Bodogs to transform again. In the process, they experimented with biotechnology, which resulted in Resident Evil. They experimented with information technology, which resulted in an intelligent mutiny. The war to destroy the intelligent mutiny destroyed several dungeons that were still intact, and when the rebellion was suppressed, only one dungeon remained on the entire planet Bodog.
The remaining Bodogs began to reflect, and finally they came up with a solution, which was to machine people. On the one hand, the Bodogs need to continuously expand their population, but the ecological environment of the dungeon cannot support such a large number of people's survival needs. On the other hand, they need an artificial intelligence that will not mutiny to replace the Bodogs to find a way out of the radiation-filled and dangerous outer space, and the biological computer, the human brain, just meets this need.
As a result, the social formation of the Bodogs began to change, moving towards a matrilineal clan society. In such a society, the vast majority of the society's survival resources are skewed towards women and newborns. When the newborn reaches the age of 16 and begins to reach sexual maturity, two young men and women are assigned by society to mate and reproduce.
After a woman becomes pregnant, the man voluntarily enters a protein recycling plant, where he contributes his body other than the brain and turns it into a variety of nutrients suitable for the survival of the Bodogs. As for the brains, they are installed in various machines to drive these machines to keep the entire Bodoge society running.
In order to survive, the Bodogs abandoned almost everything. They put all their limited resources to good use and do everything they can to escape from this cage. According to nine-and-sixths of the Ninety-Sixths, there is a scientific research institute in Bodog's society that studies technology that is hundreds of years older than the Bodog's current mastery. Some of these technologies have been able to make it possible to cross distances of tens or hundreds of light-years in a short period of time, but they are limited to energy problems, and these technologies have been bogged down in the process of turning theory into practicality.
And that technique is obviously a temporary wormhole technology or a stargate technology. As for what they call the energy dilemma, it should be the scarcity of energy crystals. The galaxy in which the Bodogs live belongs to a very old star system, and the surrounding black holes are constantly devouring the mass of the star cluster, resulting in the lack of star formation capacity of the star cluster, so there is no large number of energy crystals.
In the case of energy scarcity, Bodoge people vigorously develop pure mechanical technology, their technology is very ingenious, some machinery even only needs a little energy to continue to run for a long time, a bit like the legendary perpetual motion machine. Moreover, in order to solve the fuel dilemma, the Bodoge ships and other machines used iron powder, aluminum powder, and other elemental metal powders.
That's right, it's powders of metals, elemental iron, etc. They mix iron powder with pure oxygen or chlorine and other gases to burn it, and then add some unique catalysts to produce an explosive result that promotes the continuous operation of the machine. I've asked Vorm 3 to bring back a sample of the iron-burning engine, the one above the probe, and it may be useful for your research.
I'm sorry that the time has come for Worm III to leave and I have to terminate this debriefing, and I will provide further information in the next debriefing.
