Chapter 493 - 494 Colonialism in progress
For collectors, the star system with asteroid belts other than the Kuiper belt is the easiest to develop star system, because in the early stage of the colonial development of the star system, they can obtain sufficient material resources and do not need to consider the gravity of the planet when mining the planet.
"Well, wait for me. Don't accelerate so fast. Slowing down will consume more antimatter."
"This amount of resources will be consumed. We can't exceed the planned time, which will disrupt the initial arrangement."
"Although this is the truth, the production of antimatter is very low. It takes time for the giant structure to hoard enough. We need to prepare for the next voyage."
After entering the star system, the task was initially assigned, and the subluminal creatures were divided into several groups. At this time, the two subluminal creatures were traveling together and using antimatter to advance to the asteroid belt.
In addition to the Kuiper belt, this star system has two asteroid belts. Their destination is the outer asteroid belt, which is in the sixth orbit of the stellar system.
This distance is still relatively time-consuming at the current speed of the two organisms. It crosses a distance of more than ten astronomical units and consumes 43 times to rotate for a week to reach the outer asteroid belt in the outer ring.
"You go that way, I go this way, and act separately, which is the most efficient."
As soon as they arrived, the collector received radio messages from their peers.
The collectors don't mind the split action. This is to speed up the progress. For the development of the ethnic group, how can there be any objections?
However, before the split action, the collector himself still has some problems that need to be solved by his or her peers, so when expressing his or her ideas, it also asks for inquiries from his or her peers.
"I understand, but can you give me some water resources?" historical
"Have you run out of water resources? There is no place to use water resources on the voyage, right?
The same family is surprised, because there are few places that need to use water resources during their voyage. Only when they are colonized by stars, they will use a large amount of water resources, so when they go to the next star system, they will carry water resources with not large reserves, which are used for destination stars. Development and construction.
But now it is difficult for collectors to obtain some water resources from it. Replenishing water resources is supplemented together, and all staff should not lack this part of resources.
Soon it realized that the collector explained the reason for his need for water resources. The reason is very simple, that these water resources have been consumed.
"When sailing at sublight speed, I encountered a small volume of material mass. The annihilation reaction slowed my speed. In order to restore the speed, I used some water resources to produce hydrogen mass, so that the antimatter propellation can complete the acceleration without consuming the original reserve of hydrogen mass."
"So that's it, that's why you just said to save antimatter."
In this way, the question is solved. Because there are more anti-matter consumption than other people, it will be more difficult in this regard, and then water resources. Because water resources are consumed to produce hydrogen and oxygen, although the water resources reserve can still support development, it will definitely not be fast, because the quality of these water resources is refined. If you add it to sublight-vehest organisms, you can't lose one gram.
"Do you have enough anti-material reserves now?"
"The reserves are relatively small, and it is relatively reluctant to sail in light years with the star track, but this is not a problem. When the antimatter giant is conceived, my antimatter reserve can be replenished again."
The collector answered the inquiry of his family. It was also relatively depressed about what happened. With such a small probability, it could be encountered. The key is that it did not think too much when making hydrogen and oxygen. It completely forgot the role of these water resources after reaching the star system and directly used it, so it is very embarrassing now.
The same family easily pierces a tentacle of its own organism like a sharp blade into a cream cake, and then the tentacle opens the gap between the proton lattice, together with the water storage part, which transfers liquid water from the organism to another organism like a water pipeline.
"Here you are, these are water resources. Don't waste them. Water resources are not standing resources, and I don't have much here."
After transporting the water resources, the same family did not forget to tell the collectors.
"I know." The collector replied.
"See you later."
See you later.
The two sides are separated and go to explore everything in the asteroid belt by bowing left and right.
Due to the lack of water resources, the collectors are the first to search for asteroids rich in a lot of water resources such as ice meteorites. While supplementing water resources, they also nurture biological factories such as beehives that can process and dismantle compounds.
The hive will be the main pioneer of these arrangers to search for resources in the asteroid belt, which can be used as both a material processing plant and a biological maintenance station.
The processed material resources will be stacked to facilitate the use of the group. With the processed material resources processed by the honeycomb, the resource exploitation in the asteroid belt will only increase exponentially.
However, the premise of all this is that there must be such a large ice meteorite. If not, it is empty talk. The problem is here. Without water resources as a start, it will be quite difficult.
"The first thing to do is to find a meteorite rich in water resources..."
The collector said to himself secretly that it stretched out its tentacles and came into contact with the meteorite. On a microscopic scale, it can be seen that the tentacles have a large number of cilia. The role of these cilia is naturally to connect the material on the meteorite, so as to judge the proportion of the meteorite.
"No, this is not. This is an iron-nickel meteorite, the next one."
The collector was a little disappointed to leave the asteroid and went to the next asteroid with little difference in volume, hoping to find the resources they wanted.
However, the result still disappointed it. It could only keep searching for a suitable meteorite to camp in a meteorite.
"No, this is a chromium iron meteorite."
"This is also an iron-nickel meteorite."
"Carbon-silicon meteorite..."
"Carbon-sulfur-iron meteorite..."
