Chapter 416: Chapter 417 Gas Colonization
A large number of seeds cross the void. They have the task of expedition to a gas giant in the stellar system. This is a journey of death. Each seed is very clear. Although through remote observation and parameter reasoning, they have basically mastered the general situation of the destination planet before departure, but the problem is that the observation is only It\'s just observation, and no one can tell the details of the destination if it\'s not personal experience.
A violent environment like a gas giant, even a little accident, is likely to evolve into a fatal cause of destruction - fully understand the hardship of the initial gas giant colonization from the same race, and all the seeds firmly hold such a recognition.
The journey is boring. In order to avoid the detection of the Selin people, the seeds flying in the void cannot actively deliver radio signals.
It is very difficult for Selin people to detect the movement of such a small number of seeds in the vast space. They are not afraid of ten thousand. If they are exposed, their whereabouts are harmful to the ethnic group and must be eliminated. It is better to directly eliminate the possibility of discovery than to believe in the so-called probability.
After a period of time, the seeds saw the destination planet, a gas giant with three satellites, one of which was the planet that had previously signed an agreement with the Selin people.
As the seeds watched the gray-brown moon with no atmosphere, they approached the mother planet of the planetary system.
Soon, they crossed the orbit of three satellites and reached a distance quite close to a gas giant, but this distance is still very far, about three times the circumference of the earth\'s equatorial circumference, which gives the seeds enough time.
The seeds use their own small reserves of solid hydrogen to push forward, deflect their travel trajectory, and enter the atmosphere of gas giants in the direction of anti-planetary rotation at an excimetric angle.
High-speed friction brings heat. Because it is a reverse entry, they encounter stronger resistance. The violent friction with a large amount of mixed gas composed of ammonia and hydrogen elements causes the temperature outside the seeds to be extremely high. If it hadn\'t been for the earlier expectation that a large amount of space was used to arrange the insulation part, these The seeds will be completely ripe in half a minute.
One minute after entering the gaseous giant atmosphere, the seeds open the umbrella and let the resistance increase to slow down their decline.
Just like the name of \'blocking umbrella\', this kind of thing is an umbrella-like structure, which is the same principle as the parachute used by humans. After opening, the seeds deform into \'mushrooms\'.
The strong inertia is offset by resistance ten minutes after the umbrella is opened, and the seeds quickly change direction under the influence of the disordered airflow in the atmosphere and drift with the wave.
Up to now, it has been in the plan before departure, and the progress has been very smooth, but the seeds still dare not be careless. According to the plan, while drifting with the tide, they begin to obtain wind energy.
There are many holes in their columnar parts, which are dense and large. These holes are big and small, big are the size of a fist, and the small ones are about half a centimeter, but regardless of their size, their function is the same, that is, to convert wind energy into electrical energy.
The specific principle is similar to the wind current vegetation in the gaseous biosphere. It uses fluid mechanics. The high-speed airflow will pass through the hole. When it flows at a high level, the flow rate is large and the pressure is small, so a spontaneous tendency to the center can be obtained.
When the gas flows through these holes of the seeds at high speed, it uses the inward attraction of the hole to stimulate the body fluid cells on the wall of the hole, so that they can accelerate the surge due to being squeezed, and then obtain a biological current based on this kinetic energy.
The seed itself is a miniature honeycomb. After capturing the material inside the gaseous giant, with electrical energy, they can process substances, such as sugars, amino acids, etc.
This is a necessary link. After all, gaseous giants are not a suitable place to form a large number of amino acids. Seeds must process organic materials from scratch.
Constantly obtaining substances, and then constantly processing. When organic materials accumulate to a certain extent, the seeds will use these organic materials to change themselves, expand their shape, and then continue to collect substances, and so on.
When they reach a certain level, they will change their shape and become floating island creatures one by one, as the cornerstone of the existence of the entire gaseous biosphere.
After accumulating biological energy for a period of time, they began to breed giant beast creatures in their bodies. These romantic creatures that can be used as a windshield are also indispensable.
After waiting for the giant beast creatures to reach a certain volume, the floating island creatures will expel the giant beast creatures from the body and let them bear the destruction of the wind. Some fail to adapt to the environment and survive, and some survive. Those who survive will continue to be nurtured by the floating island creatures outside the body.
These are all collectors, all of which are intelligent and different from the gaseous biosphere. Because the Gaia creatures in the gaseous biosphere are not the form of the highest will, the collectors do not regard it as the final form of the development of their own species, but only as a certain reference basis.
Waiting for the number of giant beast creatures to accumulate enough to form a giant beast biota, the colonists of the planet initially acquired the ability to resist the powerful wind of the planet.
But this is not enough. They have to continue to expand their populations and even spread to the whole gaseous planet, and integrate all the resources of the planet into the use of the group.
With the increase in the number of giant beasts and floating island creatures, the scope of the wind area gradually expanded, and then a new type of organism was conceived.
They look like jellyfish, and their size is far beyond floating island creatures and giant beasts. At the same time, they do not have bones that belong to soft creatures.
Body size is its only advantage. In addition, it is not as capable as floating island creatures and giant beast creatures. Jellyfish does not have its own production ability. It is too soft and is not suitable for a place with stable production capacity, so it is not as good as floating island creatures.
And it is not as good as the giant beast creature. The giant beast creature is already the most perfect combination of strength and body size. If it is enlarged, it is not suitable to exist in the atmosphere of the planet, otherwise it will inevitably sink.
Jellyfish have abandoned the life structure of heavier substances such as bones in exchange for a lighter weight to remain in the atmospheric environment, but this also means a decrease in strength, and jellyfish cannot even withstand the strong planetary currents that cannot be resisted by giant beasts.
However, this does not mean that jellyfish are waste. It has its own meaning of existence. Collectors will not waste huge resources to shape a useless thing, which is a blasphemy against the ethnic group.
The huge body of jellyfish is just a suitable energy storage unit. After making a large number of organic materials and various elemental resources, floating island creatures can transfer these materials to jellyfish to reduce their workload.
As a result, the three foundations for moving strongholds on the gaseous planet have been established.
