Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 183 Journey to the Star (page 12)

Zerg lunar base, with the initial expansion and further reproduction of energy units, the energy from the star gradually began to offset the consumption of reproduction and survival. After the biological energy from the space insect species was completely consumed, this small Zerg base expanded first expansion.

Compared with Ori, the mass of this natural satellite is only one-fiftieth, that is, about 0.02 Ori, and its gravity is only 1/4 of Ori.

All of the Zerg units here can be said to be as light as a swallow. Of course, since there is no atmosphere, the flying dragons that rely on flapping their wings to rise into the air have no place here.

Therefore, the ground units took over the important task of establishing the second base. Here, as long as they master the skills, the speed of the Zerg basic land units can reach more than three times that of Orui. In addition, they have experienced generations of strengthening. Land units are no longer what they used to be. They can carry Zerg larvae and bring supplies and energy to build a Zerg base. They are more than enough.

Although the surface area of ​​the "moon" is only about one-tenth that of Ori, and it is undoubtedly "small", if a single Zerg base slowly spreads energy units across the entire planet through self-reproduction, then The efficiency is still too low, so it is still necessary to cover the entire satellite with Zerg bases as done on Orui.

In addition to energy collection, the mining of "lunar" resources also began in an orderly manner after energy collection initially reached a self-sufficient level.

Zerg diggers that are completely different from those on Orui are hatched. They are more adaptable to the "moon" environment. Similarly, the consumption of their own activities will also be greater. At this point, the consumption will be related to the upcoming benefits. In comparison, it is basically insignificant.

Today's Zerg has obviously not yet reached the level of being able to convert matter and energy at will. Therefore, the incubation of Zerg units is still inseparable from the demand for various resources. These resources are the basis for Sass to strengthen Zerg units. Without them, these resources would The bug's body cannot withstand the threats from various harsh conditions in space and can never leave the surface, so it is very important.

Compared to mining on Orui and then resisting atmospheric resistance or using giant species to expend huge energy to transport it into space, it is undoubtedly much more convenient to mine directly from the "moon".

Whether it is to meet the needs of the Zerg's own activities on the "moon" or to establish a Zerg space base here in the future, it will be much more convenient.

While the production activities here at the Moon Base are slowly getting back on track, in the Zerg main base at Orui, Sass... and Dagos have not stopped optimizing the Zerg units.

Especially the Zerg giant species, this creature that consumes terrifying resources all the time. Even if the energy unit has been transformed and is no longer the same as before, facing such a "behemoth", it still cannot be ignored. its consumption.

Its advantages are irreplaceable, but its cost is also unparalleled. No Zerg unit can compare with it. Therefore, it is imperative to optimize the giant species, and no matter how difficult it is, we must find ways to reduce its resource consumption.

This is what Sass is mainly working on now. Even the continued improvement of the space insect species has slowed down slightly. They have initially reached zero demand, at least sailing between planets within the orbit of Ori. Based on their performance Speed ​​doesn't take much time.

As for Dagos, although it is also a brain worm and has made rapid progress, it still has a long way to go before it can keep up with Sass's ideas, let alone conduct research on a project on its own.

As a teacher, Sass still tried his best, but the speed of acquiring knowledge through knowledge acquisition and teaching learning was completely different. Dagos was born at the wrong time, so he could only take his time.

.....................

After the Zerg "landed on the moon", Zero gradually lowered his attention to the "moon". Everything was developing step by step as planned. If there were no accidents, before the Zerg base occupied the entire "moon" and the material and energy were enriched, Zero wouldn't pay much attention here.

In the space base in Ori's outer space, the Zerg did not stop colonizing because they landed on the moon.

After mobilizing energy again, Zero began to plan to launch the first interplanetary colonization activity to Planet 2 in the star system.

Space navigation between planets is different from landing on satellites.

Because they orbit a star, although all planets basically orbit in the same plane, due to the difference in orbit size, many planets rarely appear on the same side of the star at the same time. As for being connected in a straight line, The so-called "many stars in a row" caused by this are even rarer.

The "moon" revolves around Ori, and it cannot escape Ori's gravity no matter what. However, other planets do not have this attribute. For example, at this moment, the distance between Planet 2 and Ori is nearly 200 million kilometers. , which is as much as five times different from their orbital periapsis!

Therefore, in the navigation between planets, a very important concept was introduced, that is, the window period.

To put it simply, when two planets are moving in orbit, when one's own planet approaches the orbit of the target planet after a long journey, and it happens to be moving nearby, it will decelerate and be captured by it, thereby cutting into its orbit, which will make the entire navigation process It becomes much simpler.

The time during which this effect can be successfully achieved is called the window period.

Because in the star system, the orbital radius of the planets is often hundreds of millions of kilometers, and the orbital radius of the giant planet farthest from the star reaches an astonishing 6 billion kilometers!

With such a huge orbital radius, it would take hundreds of years for it to orbit the star once!

The orbital radius of planets close to the star is much smaller, but their orbital periods are often measured in months and years.

It would even take several months to move forward over a distance of this scale. Therefore, before the Zerg have the ability to sail quickly in the galaxy, grasping the landing window can save a lot of time and resources.

Now, Zero is planning to move towards Planet 2.

Compared with the outer Planet 4 and several giant planets further away, Planet 2 is closer to the star, has a smaller orbit, and a shorter revolution period, making it easier to seize landing opportunities.

And because it is closer to the star, the solar energy resources here will inevitably be more abundant.

However, Planet No. 2 does not have a natural satellite, and its own condition makes Zero feel a little sad.

As the planet closest to Ori, it has the most similar cosmic environment to Ori in the entire star system. Whether it is mass, volume, or rotation speed and revolution period, there is not much difference.

Its existence once reminded Zero of Venus!

However, it does not have an atmosphere as thick as Venus. Perhaps the star had been violently active in its early years, which affected it at the beginning of its formation, or perhaps it did not have a magnetic field. The specifics are unknown.

Its atmosphere is extremely thin, and it is estimated that its atmospheric concentration is only about one percent of Ori's.

In a sense, it is like the "moon", almost directly exposing its body in the deep space of the universe and facing the flow of high-energy particles from stars.
