This was a small thing, and Ether Drake didn't care. He still lived without any worries. However, something strange happened. Every time he ate, he would encounter a similar octopus, saying similar words.
Ether Drake would eat the octopus every time. This cycle went through for a long time. Finally Ether Drake couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Why do you say I'm going to die?"
The octopus replied proudly, "Of course I know, just look at yourself, there is a dragon coming to eat you."
Ether Drake, who was not sure why, looked at his body. Some tentacles with strange patterns grew on his body, which was very strange. After careful observation, he found that they were exactly the same as those of the octopus.
Suddenly a shadow enveloped Ether Drake. He turned around and saw a large, dark mouth slamming shut towards him.
This terrifying sense of oppression made Ether Drake turn over violently in its sleep and woke up. It looked around and found that there was no problem. It was still sleeping safely inside the Psionics Sea.
Frightened by the things in the dream, Ether Drake couldn't sleep. He felt a lot weaker. He flew out of the Psionics Sea and prepared to go outside to find something to eat.
I hope I won't encounter octopus. I will never eat octopus again, Ether Drake thought silently.
A new dream begins to weave again.
It is not easy to eliminate an independent consciousness. Compared with destroying the body by force, it is even more difficult to eliminate the spirit. Because as long as this independent consciousness feels that it is alive, it is alive, which is very idealistic.
But with the full cooperation of Swarm, Ether Drake has fallen into the trap, and its consciousness will be wasted little by little in endless dreams until it loses itself and disappears completely.
Now there is no need to mobilize all Swarm's Psionic Power. Just use Zhang Han himself and Giant Cerebrate to make up the story. The rest is a matter of time.
The upgrade of Level Four Hatchery takes one month and is completed at the same time as the Bio-Electromagnetic Rail system. Logically speaking, only after the two are completed can Swarm officially step into the starry sky.
But Overmind's body is inherently unstable. The energy source is a composite controllable nuclear fusion engine, which can generate energy through fusion reactions and can also undergo fission. Because the engine is naturally constrained by strong magnets, if you have Antimatter, you can also use Antimatter.
There is really no energy, so it is not impossible to bask in the sun. The former Hive Mind thought so perfectly that Zhang Han makes me cry to death every time I think about it.
It would be a waste to not use such a good body to carry goods to space, so when Zhang Han created a nightmare in the Psionics Sea and reduced Ether Drake's consciousness, he temporarily handed over control of his body to Isha.
It's up to her to direct her body to move cargo into space. Space construction can start first.
It is much cheaper to build components on Planet and then move them to space than to directly build a spacecraft and corresponding facilities in space. Moreover, regardless of everything going well on Tabi Star, the crisis of Hatchery will never be eliminated.
This crisis does not come from Stellaris Council. Tabi Star is located in a relatively hidden Hyperspace Route. If Stellaris Council wants to find it, it will take at least ten years if you are lucky, and it may take fifty to a hundred years if you are not lucky.
With Swarm's development speed, when Stellaris Council finds this place, what awaits them is not the weak Hatchery, but the huge Swarm Consume fleet.
Therefore, the source of the crisis is also very simple, which is those Swarm that split off. The same Swarm will develop at the same rapid speed. When those StarCraft civilizations invested a lot of alloys to build great galaxy miracles in order to improve Civilization Level, Swarm's have already integrated these galaxy miracles into their genes.
The task given by Zhang Han to Isha is to complete the basic construction work of two galaxy miracles, one is Dyson Membrane, and the other is the large space Hatchery Pool.
The space Hatchery Pool is relatively simple to explain, it is Mega Shipyard, which can quickly incubate a large number of Swarm Fleet.
Dyson Sphere in Dyson Membrane and Stellaris have different forms, but the essence is the same. It's just that Dyson Membrane is more realistic, and the engineering difficulty of Dyson Sphere is much higher, which mainly only exists in science fiction novels.
First of all, a rigid three-dimensional project needs to be as big as a star, which puts forward insurmountable requirements for materials; secondly, the gravity of such a large thing is very difficult to overcome. For example, the largest animals on Earth are in the sea, because the sea Hydropower supports them. When they are accidentally washed ashore, it is difficult to turn over.
We also have to consider the gravitational pull of stars and the collision of asteroids in space. As long as we dig deeper, the technology threshold of the closed Dyson Sphere is too high and it is not cost-effective at all.
Dyson Membrane is much simpler, especially Dyson Membrane of Swarm, which has brought this technology to the extreme. To put it simply, it is the Creep that is specialized and suitable for the space environment.
In the early stage, as long as there is water, Dyson Membrane will absorb the light of the star and grow little by little, and over a few years, it will wrap around the entire star little by little according to the settings in the gene.
Of course, this is a normal situation. Now there is no time for Zhang Han. The technology he knows can also be used by other Hatchery. Maybe his Dyson Membrane has been running for several years. The development of this kind of thing is slow and slow. The battle for the final Overmind is very cruel.
The Dyson Membrane construction plan given by Cerebrate is as follows. Build a Hatchery relay station on the Tabi Star moon to collect mineral resources. Then proceed to the second planet in the entire galaxy. Because this planet has a higher temperature, we only build a workstation on its Geosynchronous Orbit.
Use the workstation to launch Dyson Membrane spores to various calculated positions on the star, and start work from multiple angles at the same time to complete the construction of Dyson Membrane more quickly.
This solution can shorten the growth time of Dyson Membrane from several years to less than one year. If more resources are invested, it will be even faster.
Without the useful tool Overmind's body, Zhang Han would have to wait at least until Hatchery's upgrade was completed if he wanted to carry out this kind of project, but now he can start in advance.
In the following time, Zhang Han's ontological consciousness dealt with Ether Drake at the Psionics Sea.
Under the control of Isha, his body first absorbed a large amount of energy and matter in Hatchery. Cellular Nanobots is good. A body that is thirty meters tall can absorb up to sixty meters.
Then it flew to the moon. After reaching it, Overmind's body decomposed into small biological factories, hatched Drone and buildings that adapted to the harsh environment of the universe, and began the construction of the Hatchery relay station.
After the energy and materials were used up, Overmind's body began to transport it for the second time. In just a dozen days, Hatchery on the moon could quickly achieve a self-balance of energy and mineral substances.
Probably because there is no atmosphere, the satellites of planets generally contain richer minerals than the planet itself. The moon Hatchery will be able to provide materials for the near-stellar orbit workstation in more than ten days.
