I Am the Swarm

Looking at the past from the perspective of the sporangium, the huge a7 planet has blocked all the sights ahead. On the oval sphere, layers of different color blocks make it look like a layer cake.

Its rotation speed is very fast, a sphere more than a thousand times larger than the origin star, and it takes less than half the time to rotate once, so that the traces of the color block rotation on it can be clearly seen.

In front of or around the huge sphere, you can vaguely see several small dim spheres, one of which is gradually enlarging.

Because this satellite is in the outer periphery of a7, it became the first object of the a7 system to be visited by the swarm. Its size is much smaller than that of the Yellow Moon, about one-tenth the size of the Yellow Moon.

Originally, the swarm only needed one sporangium to occupy it, but for some reasons, this contact, each satellite, regardless of size, suffered at least two meteorites.

The power system inside the sporangium began to activate. Unlike the previous jet deceleration and direction change system, over the years, there have been more and more swarm intelligences, and with their help, some technologies have also been upgraded.

For example, the current hydrogen power system in the sporangium.

The sporangium originally had a plug-in component for the hydrogen balloon, and Morgan the rat man used this to fool Sarah for a moment.

The new power system consists of two storage chambers and a reaction chamber, one of which is composed of special algae cells that can generate hydrogen gas, and the other is connected to the ecological circulation system in the body.

When working, the chloroplasts in the body's ecological circulation system release a large amount of oxygen into the storage cavity. At the same time, another chamber also produces a lot of hydrogen.

The two gases are transported to the reaction chamber through special pipes, where a chemical reaction takes place. The inner walls of the reaction chamber are made of a combination of heat-resistant and thermally insulating materials, enough to withstand the heat without them damaging other organs in the body.

The reaction will generate huge energy, which will be ejected through special pipes, and rely on reverse propulsion to drive the sporangia to fly or change the course.

At the same time, a large amount of water will be produced after the reaction of the two gases, which will be transported back to the ecological circulation system and reused.

The new power system is stronger and more powerful than the pure jet power system. With it, the sporangia can even take off and land like a spacecraft between the red moon and the yellow moon, without relying on the launch device to take off and land.

However, this system is a bit too tasteless. Because its speed is too slow, in the space environment, the acceleration to the limit can only reach the level of less than 3kms, which is just enough to break free from the gravity of the moon.

That's a lot slower than the Rat Man's rocket, which makes its positioning awkward. For short-distance space travel, the entire system related to the swarm meteorite launcher is very mature, faster and more efficient. In the long distance, although the recycling of this system can make more full use of the carried resources. But it is not a perpetual motion machine after all. At its speed, even the origin galaxy cannot "float" out, and it will run out of energy.

Moreover, the revolution speed of the origin star can reach 30kms. Once this "spaceship" is separated from the gravitational system of the origin star, it will never fly back on its own.

However, it represents another system after all. The swarm can't always rely on shooting to go out. It must require a set of conventional navigation technology. Perhaps this system is the beginning of the swarm spacecraft.

It happened that the a7 planet had no chance to launch the swarm meteorite until two years ago due to orbital problems. Rowan arranged for the system to be a deceleration device to observe its performance.

At the same time, in order to prevent accidents, an additional meteorite with a primitive jet deceleration device was launched. This is also the main reason for at least two rounds per satellite.

The lichen tissue outside the sporangia has fumaroles and observation holes reserved in advance. Among them, the fumarole located in the head began to violently eject energy outward, and the speed of the sporangium began to slow down.

The intellectual body and the blade of the docking team were busy and busy. After all, the distance between the origin star and the a7 planet was too far, and there were too many variables, which made the preliminary calculation not so accurate.

They recalculated the trajectory of the sporangia based on the real-time shared vision. Occasionally, the fumaroles on either side of the sporangium spew out some energy, slightly changing its course.

As the sporangia continued to approach a7b25, the speed of the sporangia gradually decreased to 5 kms. In the next two minutes, its speed will continue to drop to 2kms, and it will continue to decrease, and it will finally collide with a7b25 with a speed of 1kms.

On a7b25, it is also an extremely cold environment, which can be seen from the frost covered on its surface. However, it is farther away from the stars than a6, and it makes sense that a7b25 is a big ice lump.

The landing process was smooth and safe, and the insect swarm had the experience of landing in the a4 and a6 planetary systems, and was already familiar with it. In addition to landing on the ice planet, the speed should be very low, there is nothing else to pay attention to~www.readwn.com~ A piece of ice debris and stones are flying, and the lichen structure in the front half of the sporangium is blasted to pieces, but there is no inside. suffer too much damage.

After a while, the Creep Seed was spit out and woken up, and then the Creep Seed was connected to the Swarm Network, indicating that the login was successful. The seeds of a swarm base have been planted, only to grow and expand.

Soon after, another sporangia, carrying jet brakes, landed 200 kilometers away. After a while, the Creep Seeds it carried were also successfully launched.

The intellectual members of the docking group breathed a collective sigh of relief, their emotions should be richer, while the Blades had no waves.

In the following time, a7b3, a7b7, a7b9, a7b15, a7b21 and a7b23 all successfully logged in one after another.

Maybe it's because a7 is a huge gaseous planet with a thin atmosphere on several moons. But because it was too thin, it did not have any impact on the landing.

The amazing thing is that these satellites that landed on the land actually contain extremely rich water resources. Even on a7b15, the root system of the fungus penetrated down to a rock layer of less than 10 meters, and abundant liquid water was found.

Abundant water resources allow the Creep to multiply and expand faster, and under the supply of a large amount of resources, the base of the swarm will be established faster.

The landing work of several satellites has been completed, and the next step is to serve the main dish. There are fifteen sporangia, and they will contact the a7 planet one after another within an hour.

Rowan reassigned several teams that had already completed their tasks and added them to fifteen teams responsible for the landing of sporangia on a7.

Landing on a gaseous planet, and it is still so large, the swarm is also the first time. I believe that there will be a lot of data to be collected by then, and the manpower must be sufficient.
