Chapter 480 Colonial Era

However, life must go on.

People began to try to forget about that earth and start a new life, while hiding their communication channels.

It is a very unwise choice to rashly expose one's own existence without knowing the level of earth civilization in this time and space.

In any case, survival is the first element.

This was agreed by all crew members.

The colony ship entered the synchronous orbit of planet Gliese 581, and then began to drop probes towards the planet's morning and evening line.

When the probe landed and brought back the data on the ground, the colonial ship then dropped the airdrop capsule of the orbital paratroopers, then the infrastructure unit, and then the living capsule loaded with the colonists, thus kicking off the "colonial era" "The curtain.

Although there are 37 days in a year, because this planet does not have the concept of day and night, in order to commemorate the blue parent star, people still use the 24-hour timekeeping of the earth and the solar system calendar to count the year.

There is no sea in this world, and the fresh water comes entirely from the glaciers on the far side of the planet, the freshwater lakes scattered along the morning and evening lines, and those underground channels that intersect like blood vessels.

There are many large fungi and low shrubs on the surface, and the oxygen content in the air is very sufficient. Breathing the air in this world is very comfortable. This world seems to be specially created for humans.

The world is beautiful, and many magnificent natural landscapes cannot be seen on earth.

The river flowing from the side facing away from the sun to the side facing the sun is evaporated into a wall of fog thousands of miles wide under the high temperature, where the sunlight is deflected and converged into a never-ending rainbow. There are also those strange-shaped vegetation and giant fungi, covering every inch of soft soil on the morning and evening line, looking from a high altitude like a green and bright red carpet.

Life exists on this planet, albeit very thinly.

In fact, Steven Vogt, an observer of this planet, has made predictions since a long time ago. Personally, he puts the probability of life on this planet at 100% and has no doubts about it.

As it turns out, he was right.

The morning and evening line is densely covered with vegetation and a large number of small and medium-sized arthropods with odd shapes, forming a simple ecosystem.

The colonists were relieved. Because they are not alone.

One after another living units were built, and one after another ecological farms rose from the ground.

Then a network of roads is laid out, connecting them into a city. Prospector trucks shuttle like an ant colony. Construction vehicles are transforming the landscape, and biologists are eagerly collecting unheard-of genetic profiles. The giant sun that never sets is like the sun at dawn. People are working hard to build new homes and sing praises for a bright future.

Just like the colonists who set foot on America.

It's just that they are not European criminals, but human elites from Pan-Asia. Whether it is **** or science and technology. They all have enough confidence to despise the unbearable past. Utopia was established under their hands, where there is no war or crime, and everyone is brothers and sisters.

Contradictions have been resolved in the old world.

The seeds of human civilization will germinate again on this soil.

Of course, there are still difficulties.

For example, the metal minerals on this planet are extremely thin, and the reserves of iron, aluminum, and rare earths are all unimaginably low. The miasma floating from the ground can reduce people's immunity and even cause people to get sick.

However, these problems can be solved. Metal minerals can be solved through the space mining module of the colony ship. The miasma that plagued the colonists' health was just the spores of a special fungus. Biologists quickly developed an antiseptic that inhibited its reproduction, and easily solved this trouble.

In addition to these, however, there is a more serious problem.

That is the solar wind.

The planet does not have a stable magnetic field. Almost zero resistance to particles thrown from red dwarfs.

The distance between the 581g planet and the star is only 0.15 astronomical units, which is only 0.15 times the distance between the earth and the sun. From time to time, the solar wind blowing from the red dwarf star seems to breathe directly on the face of human beings. Without the protection of the geomagnetic field, all electronic equipment can only be used in an electromagnetic shielding environment.

It's as if thousands of EMPs are constantly bombarding the planet.

In order to improve the accuracy, some physical experiments involving the atomic level had to be moved to colony ships in space.

Later, in order to avoid damage to the colony ship by the solar wind of the red dwarf, people re-accelerated the colony ship and drove it to the far side of the sun, and at the same time entered the synchronous orbit of the star from the synchronous orbit of the planet. In this way. The colony ship is always separated from the "sun" by a planet, so that the frequent harassment of the colony ship by the solar wind can be avoided, and the normal progress of scientific research activities can also be guaranteed.

Human production and life, which are extremely dependent on electronic equipment, have been seriously affected, even after people used wide-area magnetic field shields to solve the problem of solar wind. But the effect is still there.

After all, no matter how wide the magnetic field shield is, it is impossible to cover the entire planet under its protection.

Fortunately, humans are very adaptable.

After getting used to these difficulties, everything gradually went smoothly. All the cities are built under electromagnetic shields, looking down from the space, they are like umbrellas stretched along the line of dawn and dusk, and human beings live under the roof of this umbrella.

Everything is so beautiful.

Until they discovered that there were "indigenous people" on this planet.

They are a group of very aggressive creatures. In terms of social form, it is very similar to ants. There are female insects responsible for reproduction, war insects responsible for hunting, and worker insects responsible for digging caves.

Generally speaking, they all live underground at a depth of 20-30 kilometers away from the sun. The geothermal temperature here is enough to offset the severe cold of the surface on the back side, and it can melt the ice embedded in the ground into water.

It was not until later that people discovered that the tens of millions of rivers of various thicknesses that criss-cross the surface were actually the masterpieces of these insects. And their ethnic group has existed for millions of years, or their civilization has existed for at least hundreds of thousands of years.

A civilization older than all human civilizations combined.

Although this civilization has not yet "civilized".

Originally, because the living spaces of the two parties are too far apart, one is at the dawn and dusk line, and the other is underground at the back of the sun. Maybe both parties regard each other as "bugs". Human beings have been living on this planet for a hundred years without discovering these neighbors.

Until the living space was gradually exhausted, human beings began to think about going underground, and reached out to the "canal" of those bugs.

The moment the two sides come into contact is doomed.

War is inevitable!

Logically speaking, in the face of a group of flesh-and-blood bugs, technologically advanced humans would not be at a disadvantage. However, the reality is far from being as simple as people imagine.

Human soldiers with Gauss rifles cleared the bugs that had flown to the surface with a thunderous force. Scientists developed a virus to exterminate these bugs, and the orbiting satellites launched by the colonial ships launched earth-penetrating projectiles to clear the underground lairs.

Everything went so well that everyone was optimistic that they would be able to take the underground canals dug by the bugs for tens of thousands of years as their own in a short time.

Until a bug swarm swept the border city.

Millions of arthropod insects flock to human cities fearlessly. And swept across the entire human colony along the dawn and dusk line with a devastating force.

The flames of the explosion dyed the sky red, but it still couldn't stop the swarm of insects.

That scene was like the end of the world.

Everyone was stunned, they never imagined that these worms crushed by them would explode with such a powerful fighting power. Although their cannonballs can easily pierce through these fragile bodies, they are still powerless in the face of the tide-like bugs.

Whether it's biochemical weapons or gene bombs, people have thought of all methods but failed to exterminate these bugs, on the contrary they contributed to the evolution of these bugs. Just like humans haven't eliminated mosquitoes and cockroaches for hundreds of years, these bugs can't be killed.

In order to fight against humans, under high-intensity natural selection, bugs have differentiated into individuals with similar genes but very different traits. The original female insects, war insects, and worker insects were further differentiated, and finally evolved into an existence that is difficult for humans to ignore.

The acid of the Spitter is enough to corrode the armor of a tank, and the diamond-hard claws of the Biter are enough to tear the carbon nano body armor of a human soldier. The body surface of the hundreds of meters long siege worm is inlaid with metamorphic rock shells, like earthworms plowing the ground, arching human cities into ruins. Later, people even had to restrict the use of nuclear and biological weapons to avoid further evolution of these bugs.

Hundreds of thousands of years of civilization have exploded out of its foundations. This civilization, which humans cannot understand, has declared its sovereignty over this planet with its unique cruelty.

Humans take 18 years to grow from birth to adulthood, and the slowest of these bugs takes only a week. They devour the corpses of their own kind and use the organic matter to breed new individuals. Facts have proved that, in the end, people found out dumbfoundingly that, using human market economics to measure the logistics of this Zerg civilization, the "cost" of a heterogeneous species that can tear apart carbon nano-armor with sharp claws is even lower than the clip of a Gauss rifle.

These creatures who don't know what death is, test the logistics of human beings with a flood-like number.

The living space was squeezed by bugs, and people once retreated to the space station in low earth orbit. Even if they have advanced science and technology, but do not have the resources to transform it into combat effectiveness, they have to admit the fact that they are at a disadvantage in the war against these bugs.

Fortunately, although some insects can fly, they cannot fly into the atmosphere.

People have coined a word to describe all these abnormally evolved bugs—xenomorphs.

In this way, the thousand-year "Era of War" kicked off.
