However, life must continue.
People started to try to forget the earth and start a new life while hiding their communication channels.
Unsure about the level of earth civilization in this space-time, it is a very unwise choice to expose your existence.
In any case, survival is the first element.
This is approved by all crew members.
The colonial ship entered the synchronous orbit of Planet Glizer 581, and then began to drop the probe towards the area of the planet ’s dawn and dusk line.
After the probe landed and brought back the ground data, the colonial ship then dropped the airdrop module of the orbital airborne troops, then the infrastructure unit, and then the living cabin loaded with the colonists, which opened The curtain of the "colonial era".
Although the year is 37 days, because the concept of day and night does not exist on this planet, in order to commemorate the blue mother star, people still use the earth ’s 24-hour timekeeping and solar system calendar year.
There is no sea in this world. Fresh water comes entirely from glaciers on the back of the planet and sporadic freshwater lakes scattered along the morning and evening lines, and underground rivers like blood vessels.
Large surface fungi and low shrubs are abundant. The oxygen content in the air is very sufficient. It is very comfortable to breathe the air of this world. This world seems to be specially created for humans.
The world is beautiful, and many magnificent natural landscapes are simply not visible on earth.
The river flowing from the sun to the sun is evaporated to a wall of fog thousands of miles wide at high temperature, where the sunlight is deflected and converges into a rainbow that never disperses. There are also weird vegetation and giant fungi, covering every inch of soft soil on the morning and evening lines, and it looks like a velvet blanket interspersed with green and red from a high altitude.
There is life on this planet, although it is very thin.
Actually, the observer for this planet, Steven Vogt, made predictions a long time ago. Personally, he believes that the probability of life on this planet is 100%, and he has no doubt about it.
It turns out that he is right.
The morning and evening lines are densely covered with vegetation and a large number of small and medium-sized arthropods that form a simple ecosystem.
The colonists are very pleased because they are not alone.
Every living unit was built, and ecological farms were raised, and then the road network was spread to connect them into a city. Prospecting vehicles are like ant colonies, engineering vehicles are transforming the landscape, and biologists are eager to collect unheard of genetic maps. The giant sun that never falls is like the dawn sun. People work hard to build a new home and sing a bright future.
Just like the colonists who set foot on America.
It's just that they are not criminals in Europe, but human elites from Pan Asia. Whether it is ****** or science and technology, they have enough confidence to despise that unbearable past. Utopia was founded by their men. There is no war or crime. All are brothers and sisters.
The contradiction has been resolved in the old world.
The seeds of human civilization will re-emerge on this soil.
Of course, there are still difficulties.
For example, the planet ’s metal minerals are extremely thin, and the reserves of iron, aluminum, and rare earth are beyond imagination. The miasma floating in the ground will 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 colonial ship. The miasma that plagued the colonists' health was just a spore of a special fungus, and biologists quickly developed an antidote to restrain its breeding, which easily solved this trouble.
However, in addition to these, there is a more serious problem.
That is the solar wind.
This planet does not have a stable magnetic field, and its resistance to particles thrown from red dwarfs is almost zero.
The distance between the 581g planet and the star is only 0.15 astronomical units, and 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 is like calling directly on the human face. Without the protection of the geomagnetic field, all electronic devices can only be used in electromagnetically shielded environments.
It's as if hundreds of EMPs are constantly bombarding this planet.
In order to improve accuracy, some physical experiments involving the atomic level have to be moved to colonial ships located in space.
Later, in order to avoid the damage of the red dwarf star's solar wind to the colonial ship, people re-accelerated the colonial ship and drove it to the back of the sun, while entering the star's synchronized orbit from the planet's synchronized orbit. In this way, the colonial ship is always separated from the "sun" by a planet, which can avoid the frequent harassment of the colonial ship by the solar wind, and at the same time ensure the normal conduct of scientific research activities.
Human production and life that rely heavily on electronic equipment have been severely affected. Even if people later solved the problem of solar wind with a wide-area magnetic shield, this effect still exists.
After all, no matter how wide the magnetic shield is, it is impossible to cover the entire planet under its protection.
Fortunately, humans are very adaptable.
After adjusting to these difficulties, everything gradually went smoothly. All cities are built under electromagnetic shields, and they look down from space, just like an umbrella stretched out along the morning and evening lines, and humans live under the umbrella roof.
Everything is so beautiful.
Until they discovered the existence of "indigenous people" on this planet.
They are a group of aggressive creatures and are very similar to ants in terms of social form. There are female insects responsible for multiplying ethnic groups, war insects responsible for hunting, and worker insects responsible for digging caves.
Normally, they all live underground 20-30 kilometers deep in the sun. The geothermal temperature here is sufficient to offset the extreme cold of the sun and the ground, and it can melt the ice embedded in the ground into water.
It wasn't until later that people discovered that the tens of millions of rivers of varying thickness across the surface of the earth turned out to be masterpieces of these bugs. 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 that is older than the sum of all human civilizations.
Although this civilization has not been "civilized".
Originally because the living space between the two parties was too far apart, one was in the morning and evening line, and the other was in the ground behind the sun. Perhaps both parties regard each other as "bugs", and humans have been living on this planet for a hundred years without discovering these neighbors.
Until the living space was gradually exhausted, humans began to fight the idea of the underground, and extended their hands to the "canal" of those bugs.
The moment when the two sides contact is doomed.
War is inevitable!
Actually, in the face of a group of flesh-and-blood worms, technologically advanced humans will not fall under the hood, but the reality is far from being as simple as people think.
Human soldiers armed with Gaussian rifles cleared the bugs that ran to the surface in a thunderstorm. Scientists developed viruses to exterminate these bugs. Orbiting satellites launched by colonial ships launched earth-piercing bombs to clear underground nests.
Everything is so smooth that everyone is optimistic that it wo n’t take long before they can take possession of the underground canals that worms spent tens of thousands of years.
Until a worm wave swept across the border city.
Millions of arthropod insects flock to the cities of mankind fearlessly. And swept the entire human colony along the dawn and dusk line with a destructive trend.
The explosion fire stained the red clouds in the sky, but still could not stop the turbulent swarm of insects.
The scene is like the end.
Everyone was stunned. They never thought that these crushed insects had such a powerful fighting power. Although their shells can easily penetrate these fragile bodies, they are still powerless in the face of insects like the tide.
Whether it is a biochemical weapon or a gene bomb, people have tried every means but have not been able to exterminate these insects. Instead, they have contributed to the evolution of these insects. Just like humans haven't eliminated mosquitoes and cockroaches in hundreds of years, these insects can't be killed.
In order to fight against humans, under high-intensity natural selection, insects differentiated individuals with similar genes but very different traits. The original mother insects, war insects, and worker insects further differentiated, and eventually evolved into a kind of existence that is hard to ignore.
The acid of the spitters is enough to corrode the armor of the tank, and the diamond-hard claws of the bite are enough to tear the carbon nano body armor of human soldiers. Hundred-meter-long siege insects' surface is inlaid with a metamorphic rock shell, like earthworms ploughing the ground like an arch of human city 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 burst out of its details. This civilization, which humans cannot understand, has declared its sovereignty over the planet with its unique cruelty.
Humans need 18 years from birth to adulthood, and the slowest of these bugs only takes a week. They devoured corpses of the same kind and used these organic matter to breed new individuals. Facts have proved that in the end, people couldn't help but find out that using human market economics to measure the logistics of this Zerg civilization, one can only use the claws to tear apart the heterogeneous carbon nanoarmor, and the "cost" is even lower than the magazine of the Gaussian rifle.
These creatures, who do not know what death is, have tested human logistics with a tide-like quantity.
Pushing into the living space by insects, people once retreated to the space station in low earth orbit. Even if there is advanced science and technology in the air, but there is no resource that can transform it into combat power, it has to admit the fact that it is disadvantaged in the war against these bugs.
Fortunately, although some insects can fly, they cannot fly out of the atmosphere.
People have created a vocabulary to summarize all these aberrant evolutionary worms—heterogeneous species.
In this way, a thousand-year "era of war" kicked off.
War between humans and aliens. (To be continued.)
