In fact, science is like this many times. A small problem that is difficult to solve blocks the progress of the entire research project. Obviously this problem seems so trivial, but the researcher always seems to be obsessed with it, no matter what.
Unable to take that crucial step towards progress.
That last-minute kick can sometimes even take a researcher's entire life to study, but sometimes it can be easily broken in an inadvertent moment.
This "easy moment" may be a casual joke from a friend, it may be the moment when you look up at the ceiling while relaxing, it may be a picture flashing on the TV, or it may be a line of small print in the newspaper.
When this flash of inspiration occurred, the researcher held the key to the door.
Next, he only needs a gentle push, and the problem that has troubled him for countless hours in the past will be solved!
Some people even find solutions to difficult problems in their dreams, just like there is a real god who watches you work hard and can't bear it, and gives you a spiritual light.
After six years of continuous research without a solution, for Zuzade, at that moment, Keles became the muse that gave it inspiration.
When Keles casually said this while flipping through the experimental report, Zuzade happened to be conducting the 120th test on the new generation of "Thermophile" bacterial spores in the spore breeding room nearby.
Seventy-four thousand six hundred and eighty-seven improvements.
To be honest, if Zuzade was not a high-level Zerg commander, with this intensity of work, he would have died suddenly in the laboratory long ago...
All in all, when Keles' slightly teasing words reached Zuzade's ears through the psychic partition window of the spore breeding room, he instantly thought of a solution to the problem!
That’s right! Since it’s impossible to reconcile the contradiction in the growth rate of the Thermodevourer carpet, why not simply prevent it from touching the surface of the star?
As long as the distance calibration information based on the gravity of the planet is added to the genes of the carpet spores, so that the spores can float several kilometers above the surface of the star by the gravity of the planet, and also use gravity as the soil to grow.
Can a floating germ carpet layer surrounding the star be formed near the star's low-Earth orbit?
The "biological Dyson sphere" with this structure has many advantages compared to the carpet layer that directly covers the star's surface as they originally imagined.
First of all, in terms of controllability, this carpet layer far away from the planet's surface is much easier to control than the former.
The Thermodevourer carpet is too dependent on the ambient temperature and corrosive. Once it encounters a high temperature environment, it will immediately start to grow uncontrollably.
In the past, the temperature control function on the surface of stars was completed by the stars themselves, but now, in the void gravity environment, they can completely control the condition and properties of the carpet "Dyson sphere" by adjusting the distance between the carpet layer and the star surface.
In this way, the controllability is immediately greatly improved, and at the same time, the trouble of the Thermodevourer carpet invading the core of the star is avoided.
Secondly, the Thermodevourer carpet layer in this state can be completely thickened to create a second layer of suspended carpet surface for the star. The insect swarms can still place nests on this carpet surface, and
This method will be far safer than placing the nest directly on the surface of the star.
Zuzade carefully thought about this idea several times from beginning to end, and finally confirmed that this was an engineering plan that sounded crazy but was quite feasible in practice.
It immediately began to make a new improvement to the thermophilic carpet. This time, it completely deleted the previous genetic information that restricted the growth rate of the carpet, and then added the type of corruptor in the biological battleship of the insect fleet that can distort gravity.
The genetic information is added to the genetic improvement of carpet fungal spores.
The results of this improvement completely opened the door for the swarm to utilize star energy, and also allowed the swarm to get rid of the past era of relying heavily on mining planetary energy to reserve resources to a great extent.
Zuzade sprinkled the first batch of Thermodevourer carpet spores that had been modified with anti-gravity on a star that had four planets orbiting it but was not of much value. These Thermodevourer carpet spores immediately began to behave like before Zuzade
Spread and grow rapidly as imagined.
But they did not fall to the surface of the star. The star's gravity supported them like an invisible wall, making them attached to the gravity wall and evenly wrapping the entire star.
After running for several standard cosmic times, this experimental "Dyson sphere" system has proven to be reliable and can begin large-scale applications.
So Xue Hua immediately ordered that this technology be widely used in the star field governed by the insect swarm to replace the original depletion of planetary mining resources and reactivate the resource accumulation system to continue mining.
Under his order, the "Biological Dyson Sphere" network of the swarm began to spread throughout the star field. Except for those galaxies with ecological stars and advanced intelligent civilizations that were banned by Xue Hua's order and were not allowed to carry out Dyson Sphere projects, other galaxies
The stars in it soon became the main source of resources for the swarm.
The power of the Dyson Sphere is undoubtedly very powerful. Just two years after the system was launched, the total amount of resources harvested by the worms from the Dyson Sphere system exceeded 50% of the total resources obtained by traditional mining methods.
And this value is getting higher and higher as more and more star systems are Dyson spheroidized by the swarm. Isa predicts that this new method of resource acquisition will completely catch up with traditional resource mining in a short period of time.
Way.
The Dyson sphere system of the swarm was formed thirty-five years after Xue Hua left the Sanctuary world, and so far, this system has completely and completely replaced the traditional resource extraction method.
Eighty percent of the worker bees in the swarm are now on stars with Dyson sphere systems, and "extracted tumor" (a type of bacteria that Zuzard later improved from carpet tumors, similar to the automatic gas in the battle)
Mine-like Zerg buildings) together collect high-energy resources converted from the Dyson sphere system.
After obtaining such abundant and almost inexhaustible renewable energy as a backing, the development speed of the insect swarm has naturally reached a new level.
Today's Zerg have completely evolved to the end of the third-level civilization, which is the "interstellar civilization", and are moving towards the legendary "fourth-level civilization": "Galaxy Civilization".
And Xue Hua fully believes that when Abathur completes the research and development of the "golden gene", the insect swarm will soon enter the "fourth level civilization".
At that time, the swarm will truly have the capital to fight to the death with the Xel'Naga and its minions!
Xue Hua has been looking forward to this moment extremely, because when the next main nest upgrade is completed, it will be the starting point for the insect swarm to intervene in the eternal war!
