Chapter 237 Special Operations Unit's Attempt

After Bai Quan left.

It was not too late.

Chen Ming took the things Bai Quan sent and returned to his usual resting place.

It was still a separate room in a corner on the second floor of the laboratory.

After locking the door, Chen Ming raised his left hand and looked at the carapace wristband.

The consciousness of the Queen of Insects then descended on the carapace wristband.

Several insect eggs formed on the carapace wristband as before, and several flexible tentacles grew out.

Chen Ming lined up the several medicine bottles that Bai Quan had sent earlier on the table in front of him, and let the Queen of Insects' tentacles take out a pill of medicine each, and grind some powder to absorb.

The Queen of Insects is a psychic creature with extremely strong survival ability. What's more, only a small part of the body tissue is on the prosthesis, so there is no problem in using these drugs.

And the Queen of Insects is very sensitive to any absorbed substances, so it only needs to absorb a little to help Chen Ming analyze the composition of these drugs.

After Chen Ming confirmed that this part of the Queen's body had absorbed these drugs, and some relatively violent psychic fluctuations appeared on several tentacles due to the drugs, and the Queen had analyzed the composition of the drugs.

He had to find a way to find out what these substances were from the Queen, who could not learn to speak.

Fortunately, after a series of difficult consciousness exchanges.

Chen Ming still wrote down the different materials used for these different drugs at the end of the drug list given by Bai Quan.

Some of the ingredients in these drugs specifically for psychics can be synthesized using chemical substances, but most of them are natural psychic materials.

And there is a special place in these psychic materials for making drugs.

That is, they are not special directional materials, but a certain type of materials with certain special properties.

For example, the several drugs that Bai Quan gave to assist meditation all require extracts from the fairy tree as the main material.

Chen Ming had drunk tea made from fairy leaves before, and its psychic fluctuations were very mild, which just happened to be the main material for this type of medicine.

And other materials with mild psychic properties, as long as their properties are close to those of the fairy tree, can also serve as materials for this type of medicine.

Therefore, the materials of the medicines used by psychics are not fixed. It is mainly the properties of the psychic materials that determine what medicines can be made, rather than the materials themselves.

So this leads to a problem, that is, Chen Ming can't reproduce these medicines now.

Because Chen Ming doesn't have anything that can be used as a medicine material.

Speaking of which, Chen Ming suddenly remembered that someone he knew at the boss's side seemed to want to exchange a Yan Xiong for the fairy tree.

Chen Ming thought about it and didn't exchange it at the time, because he found that Yan Xiong could mass-produce metals with certain psychic properties.

And Yan Xiong is now also used as a source of materials for researching psychic metals in Chaofan's hands.

Although these medicines are very good in Chen Ming's eyes.

But he doesn't have the materials now, so the Queen of Insects can't make substances of similar properties.

He can only wait and see if there is a chance to get psychic plants of similar properties, the kind that can be developed sustainably, and maybe they can be mass-produced.

Chen Ming put away these medicines and planned to find an opportunity to send them out to the main body.

Some drugs that stimulate mental power for a short period of time can be kept, while other drugs that assist mental power training can be given to the Queen of Insects or Xiao Shi.

After storing all the drugs, Chen Ming turned his attention to another thing.

The eggs of the Aurora Wind Spirit.

The Aurora Wind Spirit, a giant butterfly that lives in the atmosphere and can produce and control auroras, also known as plasma, is what Chen Ming has been looking for to provide top-quality genes for the Queen of Insects.

Chen Ming put the fist-sized and colorful eggs in his hand next to the tentacles on his other wrist and asked the Queen of Insects: "Do you want to eat a little or all? Or do you need to hatch them and wait for them to cocoon and become butterflies?"

The Queen of Insects responded to Chen Ming vaguely, and then its tentacles surrounded the egg, and a thinner tentacle stretched out from the tip of the tentacle and pierced directly into the egg.

The thin tentacle was immediately pulled out, and the egg of the Aurora Wind Spirit instantly returned to its original appearance, seemingly without any damage.

But the Queen of Insects' consciousness said that it had indeed extracted the genes of the Aurora Wind Spirit.

Chen Ming immediately opened the panel of the Queen Worm and looked at the bottom line of the panel.

[Available operations: Repair (deep repair)/Evolution/Decomposition/Gene Backtracking]

The Gene Backtracking option is now grayed out.

Because some time ago, when Chen Ming's psychic power had advanced to the point where he could use the deep repair ability, he had already revised the Queen Worm's genes.

All valuable genes have been mastered by the Queen Worm, and there is no need for gene backtracking.

The genes that are worthless and can no longer be backtracked have also been completely cleared, so this function is temporarily useless.

Chen Ming directly clicked on the [Evolution] option.

A dense array of new options appeared on the panel in an instant.

These are the genes that the Queen Worm regained after the deep repair of Chen Ming's psychic power, as well as the new genes it acquired during its development on the planet where the mechanical race city is located.

Chen Ming had seen this page before, and had spent a lot of time studying the genes in it before attacking the mechanical race colony planet.

So now he didn't look at it much, but directly found the new genes that the Queen Worm had acquired after acquiring the genes of the Aurora Wind Spirit.

Because the Queen Worm had eaten a few giant butterflies before.

So after absorbing the genes of the Aurora Wind Spirit, the Queen Worm now has a small number of genes. After a little screening, Chen Ming found the unique genes that belong to the name of the Aurora Wind Spirit.

[Plasma Storage Cavity], [Plasma Magnetic Induction Crystal Cell], [Strong Magnetic Field Control Brain], [Plasma Isolation Scale] and [Plasma Isolation Membrane].

Chen Ming took a rough look and switched his perspective to an ordinary worm on the Queen Worm's side.

After acquiring the genes, the Queen Worm has actually created a new creature with these unique abilities.

Since it is purely for testing, what the Queen Worm has created now looks like a piece of meat with a diameter of about ten meters, which simply has the ability to generate and control plasma.

After Chen Ming helped to send a destroyer-level afterglow spacecraft that was damaged in the recent external exploration and had not been repaired in time.

The meat with the Aurora Wind Spirit created plasma on the spacecraft that emitted the gorgeous colors of the Aurora.

The already damaged spacecraft system could not withstand the continuous plasma attack, and the shield quickly collapsed in contact with the plasma in just a dozen seconds.

The armor was in contact with the plasma for a little longer, but it was also penetrated within a minute, allowing the plasma to damage the internal hull.

After all, it was a technology that could be used by Yuhui on the Brilliant Class. Even if it was just plasma produced by a creature, the power was beyond description.

While the spacecraft was being destroyed, the area around the spacecraft was also being continuously destroyed by plasma.

An area emitting high heat and gorgeous colors like the Aurora gradually formed around the spacecraft.

The unique scene in this area gradually disappeared after a few minutes.

Many plasmas were gradually eliminated by the reaction with the spacecraft and other things.

But more plasma was absorbed into the body by the meat created by the Queen of Insects, controlling the power of the magnetic field, and stored in the cavity specially designed to store plasma.

This plasma that can destroy spacecraft has almost dominant destructive power if used on biological and ground combat units.

At this moment, Chen Ming suddenly thought of something he had wanted to do before.

Create a powerful special combat individual belonging to the Zerg similar to the Purgatory Demon King of the Mechanical Clan.

Chen Ming had been trying before, but the current genes of the Queen of Zerg are difficult to have enough power to match the Purgatory Core.

And from the genes of the Aurora Wind Spirit now, he saw the hope of creating special combat individuals.

Plasma and plasma are good weapons in space, and on the ground, they are crushing the same ground units.

If this dangerous substance can be controlled at will, it should not be impossible to catch up with the Purgatory Core.

Maybe it can work.

And it just so happens that Chen Ming has another interesting idea, an idea that may be useful soon, and he must try it.

It's just that time is a bit tight again.

It definitely takes a lot of time to study this kind of thing.

Chen Ming had to work on a tight schedule because his original body didn't have enough time.

It wasn't until the prosthesis shared some of the tasks that things got a little better.

As a result, not long after that, several new tasks that required a long time to complete were put on his head.

You know, the second jump of Brilliance has been completed and the second transfer point has been established.

There are a lot of things that need his original body to help deal with.

The original body is already busy enough.

And the prosthesis has to study command technology during the day and do research at night, which is also very busy.

If a new task is added to it, the pressure is a bit great.

But after carefully thinking about the benefits of this research, Chen Ming decided to find time to arrange this matter into the daily tasks.

He must come up with a special combat unit of the Zerg.

And such a special combat unit must meet at least three requirements.

Survival, activity and combat.

The requirements for ensuring the survival of special combat units are simple, but not simple.

Because plasma, as a group of charged particles with extremely strong destructive power, has great killing power not only on the enemy, but also on itself.

Therefore, special combat units must have the ability to survive in plasma.

And special combat units are not just about using the genes of the Aurora Wind Spirit.

Although the Aurora Wind Spirit itself has the ability that Chen Ming needs, the character of this species is very gentle, and its scales and protective membranes are only used to prevent the damage of plasma from affecting itself.

This protective method has almost no effect on any other attacks, and a slightly sharper stone spear may directly pierce their bodies.

Of course, the premise is that it can be pierced, and the stone spear will not be annihilated by the plasma entangled around the Aurora Wind Spirit.

In short, on the planet where the Aurora Wind Spirit is located, the adult Aurora Wind Spirit living in the atmosphere has no natural enemies at all.

Even when the Aurora Wind Spirits entered the breeding period, no creature dared to approach them when they returned to the ground.

Only during the egg and larvae period can native creatures kill the Aurora Wind Spirits.

But the adult form is really not threatened by any creature.

Without natural enemies, there is no need to evolve more combat capabilities.

The Aurora Wind Spirits' active combat capabilities and adaptability to dangerous environments are not strong, which makes it impossible for Chen Ming to directly let the Queen of the Insects fight with only the Aurora Wind Spirit genes.

Even if the outermost layer of the Aurora Wind Spirit's scales or protective film is not enough, the fragile scales can be easily broken on the battlefield. Once the scales are damaged, the insects may even be burned to death by their own plasma.

And Chen Ming has other requirements for the manufacture of this special combat unit Zerg.

That is, this kind of insect must rely on the most basic flesh, without any external factors, to directly bear the damage caused by plasma.

Because the Zerg in Chen Ming's hands not only rely on the existence of the flesh, they can also rely on the psychic power of the Queen of the Insect.

The psychic power of the Queen of Worms is purely to enhance physical fitness and strength.

From the time when the Queen of Worms became a psychic creature until today, the psychic power of the Queen of Worms has also improved significantly.

Under the premise that the Queen of Worms uses psychic power, its body can even directly resist the damage caused by plasma.

Even if Chen Ming uses the psychic power of the Queen of Worms, when he faces some ordinary swords and small-caliber bullets, he can rely purely on the strength of human tissue and the psychic power amplification of the Queen of Worms to ensure that he is completely unharmed.

Even if he faces some large-caliber weapons, he will only receive some superficial injuries at most, of course, except for weapons at the level of spacecraft.

So this is the current strength of the Queen of Worms' psychic power.

Although it has not been long since the Queen of Worms became a psychic creature, the speed at which the Queen of Worms' psychic power is enhanced is not slow.

Even if it does not have the amplification effect of Chen Ming's additional objects, it still has a hive mind, and there are a large number of Zerg unit consciousnesses that can feed back to the Queen of Worms.

The Zerg's hive mind can provide Chen Ming with additional mental power, so of course they are also providing this treatment to the most important consciousness of the hive, the Queen of Worms.

It is for this reason that Chen Ming had considered giving the Queen Worm some medicine to eat.

Although medicine is not available now.

But the Queen Worm's own strength will not decrease, and Chen Ming is not without other means to strengthen the Queen Worm.

For Chen Ming now, even if one condensed spiritual energy source is divided out, it is not a big problem. One condensed spiritual energy source is the same as two condensed spiritual energy sources, and the intensity of spiritual energy fluctuations provided to the environment is the same.

Twice fifty degrees of water cannot make one hundred degrees of water.

So giving the Queen Worm a condensed spiritual energy source and letting it absorb the high concentration of spiritual energy fluctuations emitted by the condensed spiritual energy source will definitely improve faster.

Strive to let Chen Ming personally resist plasma when using the Queen Worm's spiritual energy as soon as possible.

In short, it is because of the existence of the Queen Worm's spiritual energy that Chen Ming wants to create a special Zerg combat unit with the ability to directly resist plasma.

The stronger the body, the stronger it will be when it is amplified by the Queen Worm's spiritual energy.

At the same time, it also prevents the Queen of Insects from running out of mental power one day, and then the special combat units are burned to death by themselves.

But no matter what, it is absolutely impossible to use the black shell to resist plasma.

Chen Ming can only use two different genes now to let the Queen of Insects mix and create a new shell.

The difficulty of directly using genes to create related organisms is not at the same level as the difficulty of combining two different genes to create a string of genes that can express traits normally and meet the requirements.

This is the place where Chen Ming will definitely spend the most time next.

However, after Chen Ming assigned tasks to the Queen of Insects.

Chen Ming suddenly discovered a problem.

The deep repair ability on the panel seems to have some special situations that he has not discovered before.

Chen Ming's deep repair ability is to optimize an entirety to the most suitable level for its essential work.

After deep repair once, there is no way to perform deep repair again. After all, the things that have been repaired after deep repair are already the most suitable existence.

However, Chen Ming discovered at this time that the Queen Worm could perform deep repairs again. His deep repair could only be used once, but it was not absolute. Things that had undergone deep repairs could also be deep repaired again.

And the premise of doing this...

Chen Ming roughly studied it and figured it out.

As long as the things that had undergone deep repairs had undergone some changes as a whole.

For example, a refrigerator, after Chen Ming had done deep repairs, could become a useful refrigerator.

Then he had the ability to replace the refrigerator's refrigeration equipment with heating equipment, turning the refrigerator into an oven.

Then, if he performed deep repairs again at this time, the entire refrigerator would become an oven.

Of course, such extreme changes are not actually required. Only some structural changes are required, and then Chen Ming can optimize the things that have changed to the appropriate level again.

For example, the Queen Worm, after absorbing some of the organisms, some genetic changes occurred, and the Queen Worm could undergo another deep repair.

Another example is the product of the chaotic Aurora Wind Spirit gene and the Zerg Black Shell gene created by the Queen.

Even Chen Ming does not need the genes of the Aurora Wind Spirit's scales and protective membrane.

Because the optimization effect of deep repair is like a barrel with one long board and many short boards.

It does not complement the shortcomings by taking advantage of the strengths, but directly uses the excessive consumption of Chen Ming's mental power to make the short boards grow to the extent of the long boards.

Therefore, in order to adapt to the existence of plasma

Chen Ming feels that his psychic power should be able to deeply repair the Zerg's original shell and the mucous membrane inside the mouth that is easily exposed to the outside, so that they can directly resist plasma.

And this new shell that is deeply repaired will definitely be recorded and inherited by the Queen like the Zerg stuff that Chen Ming made with psychic power before.

Chen Ming's idea of ​​the survivability of special combat units is basically clear here.

And this idea is also fully transmitted to the Queen.

More than an hour later, when Chen Ming was about to go to bed.

Good news came from the Queen.

It has created a gene that has the Aurora Wind Spirit's plasma-related body tissue control, and injected a twisted piece of meat that has not been perfectly combed, but violently mixed the plasma protection gene with the Zerg's shell gene.

This piece of meat that is completely unable to move is covered with various sharp growths and abrupt scales of different sizes, and it also secretes disgusting purple viscous body fluids.

This is the result that the Queen of the Worm has barely completed after failing dozens of times.

The existence of the chaos gene has caused the Queen of the Worm to be able to do only this much now.

But at least it is still alive, and the nerves of the meat also limit the meat from instinctively using the organs that produce plasma, so that it will not burn itself to death as soon as it is created.

Let Chen Ming have time to use his spiritual power.

It just so happens that it is almost time to rest now.

Chen Ming simply washed up, lay on his bed, and closed his eyes.

Then he used the spiritual power of deep repair on this piece of meat.

In a severe headache that Chen Ming has not experienced for quite a long time, Chen Ming fell into a coma.

The piece of meat affected by his psychic power is gradually evolving towards a normal creature under the influence of psychic power.

After dawn.

Chen Ming got up with full spirit.

He first looked at the Queen Worm.

However, he was surprised that the piece of meat still looked like a piece of meat, and there was no change from the naked eye.

"What's the situation?"

The Queen Worm immediately transmitted a memory to Chen Ming.

Last night, after Chen Ming fainted from using psychic power, his psychic power did work on this ugly piece of meat.

But his psychic power gradually disappeared after working for a certain period of time.

It was not due to any interference, but simply because the mental power to support the psychic power fluctuations was not enough.

This means that Chen Ming's mental power is not enough to transform this piece of meat into what it should be at one time.

The long-lost pain in his brain last night is still vivid, and the trouble caused by the confusion of genes is far more complicated than what Chen Ming saw.

And this should also be due to some Aurora Wind Spirit genes. After all, Chen Ming didn't have such trouble when he did deep repairs for the Queen Worm before.

It seems that he needs to continue with at least one more deep maintenance, otherwise the mental energy consumed before will be wasted.

To be honest, the mental energy consumed by using psychic energy this time is a bit beyond Chen Ming's imagination.

But since the consumption of psychic energy is so huge, it means that if his attempt can really succeed, the effect will definitely be unimaginable.

Chen Ming is a little impatient, but time will not pass faster because of his desire.

The deep maintenance still has to be done honestly at night.

Chen Ming can only praise the Queen of Insects now, disconnect the communication with the Queen of Insects, and turn his eyes to the terminal.

There is a file on the terminal, which Bai Quan sent more than an hour ago.

Chen Ming took a look and found that this is the report that Bai Quan said he had to read every day last night.

The content includes but is not limited to the current affairs news within the 14th Corps. It can be said that all the important news of the entire star field is condensed in this report, which is very helpful for understanding the information from the outside world.

The main content of today's report is mainly about the gambling agreement signed by Chen Mingquan and Lou Wei, and the news that Zuo Jing infiltrated the 14th Corps branch yesterday.

Just as Chen Ming was checking more detailed content,

Bai Quan suddenly pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing Chen Ming holding the terminal, he instantly understood what Chen Ming was doing.

"How did you read it?"

"It's quite detailed. Basically, I have information from all aspects. But I think there seems to be a lot of false information spreading that is not good for you. Don't you care?"

"Don't worry, it's not a big problem. We will continue with the class today."
