Chapter 238 The Ultimate Power

Three days later in the morning.

Chen Ming looked at the Queen Worm as usual.

The appearance of the meat nugget that had been cultivated a few days ago had changed significantly.

The original messy muscle tissue and redundant scales and wings had all disappeared, and the whole meat nugget was wrapped in a new carapace that combined the advantages of the Zerg carapace and the Aurora Wind Spirit scales.

It looked much more pleasing to the eye than it did a few days ago.

It was obvious that after yesterday's deep repair, the survival ability of this sample had been improved.

The Queen Worm also noticed that Chen Ming was paying attention to this side, and it immediately controlled the unique organ on the meat nugget that was derived from the Aurora Wind Spirit gene, and produced a large amount of plasma around the meat nugget.

In the brightly colored plasma, the intact meat nugget was in sharp contrast to the surrounding environment covered by the Queen Worm's fungal blanket that was constantly destroyed by plasma.

And Chen Ming also noticed that the plasma existed around the meat nugget at a very high density.

The carapaces on the meat nugget were not able to completely protect it, so some muscle tissue and mucous membrane tissue on the meat nugget were still directly exposed to the plasma.

However, even so, these plasmas did not cause any damage to the meat.

This situation clearly told Chen Ming that not only the outer shell, but also all other tissues of this meat had a certain plasma resistance.

The Queen of Insects continued to test this meat in front of Chen Ming, including but not limited to heavy crushing, corrosion by strong acid and alkali substances, explosion of unstable energy crystals, and various Zerg attack methods.

It can be seen that the most basic physical strength of these tissues has also been strengthened to the extreme.

Chen Ming's efforts in the past few days have not been in vain.

Not only has the original resistance to plasma been guaranteed, but also has a stronger resistance to other attacks. This is the evolution after gene fusion.

There is only one problem now.

That is the color of the shell covering this meat.

At this time, the shell of the meat is different from the original black shell of the Zerg. It has undergone some conspicuous changes after Chen Ming's spiritual power is used.

Because the scales of the Aurora Wind Spirit are colorful, similar to the Aurora, after gene fusion, the shell of this meat is also made colorful.

Even the muscles under the carapace showed different body color characteristics.

They flickered under the action of plasma, like LED lights.

Fortunately, the color characteristics of the carapace and muscles are not important genes. The Queen of Worms quickly changed it back to the previous dark and murderous appearance according to Chen Ming's requirements.

Although the carapace can't be murderous on this piece of meat.

But it's not a big problem, at least other Zergs still have what they should have.

And up to this point.

Chen Ming's research and guarantee on the survival ability of special combat individuals has been completed.

The body of the Zerg can survive in the space environment, and after having the ability to resist the attack of plasma.

Survival is definitely not what Chen Ming needs to worry about next.

And the genes on this piece of meat that have been optimized by Chen Ming's psychic energy have been completely acquired by the Queen of Worms.

The Queen of Worms can create similar existences at any time.

In other words, now Chen Ming can let the Queen of Worms replace all the Zergs with new genes that constitute part of the body tissue, so that the average combat ability of all Zergs can be raised to a higher level.

Chen Ming is now looking forward to the scene of these insects that can withstand plasma attacks appearing on the ground battlefield.

Moreover, Chen Ming's research this time has some additional byproducts.

The inspiration he got when the Queen of Zerg tried to create a piece of meat with mixed genes several times before failed.

A weapon that can be used on the Queen of Zerg's biological spaceship.

The Queen of Zerg's biological spaceship is a template for the biological spaceship that the Zerg can now cultivate.

In addition to the acid spray sacs that are too weak and have existed for a long time, the Queen of Zerg's spaceship has a spaceship weapon.

There is also a kind of insect eggs that are about to hatch on the side of the biological spaceship.

The biological spaceship can launch these insect eggs at high speed, and these insect eggs will hatch on the way out.

These hatched insects can quickly grow into a large number of flying insects that have the ability to interfere with or destroy the shield armor of the spaceship, and continue to rush towards the enemy at high speed in space with the power of the launch, similar to a speedboat.

The first generation of the Queen of Zerg used this method to replace the abandoned spaceship of the space station with the spaceship of the pirates who believed the rescue signal and came to take advantage of the fire and ran all the way outside the empire.

This type of flying insect was originally a type of Zerg combat unit that Chen Ming was more optimistic about.

After the energy crystal, which concentrated a lot of energy, was produced, he had the Queen of Zerg breed several generations of more powerful flying insects.

During Chen Ming's research on plasma genes this time, when he saw the insects that failed to be created by the Queen of Zerg and were burned to death by the plasma he created, he had a new idea in his mind.

He could breed some plasma self-destructing flying insects that were purely used for self-destruction.

Completely abandon all other abilities including self-protection ability, and focus on strengthening the plasma manufacturing ability of plasma self-destructing flying insects.

Of course, normal plasma flying insects with perfect plasma control and plasma protection capabilities, pure evolutionary flying insects, are also in Chen Ming's plan.

However, the damage that self-destructing flies, a disposable consumable, can cause in a short period of time is definitely much stronger than that of regular plasma flies.

Chen Ming doesn't like Zuo Jing very much, but he has always felt that the self-destruction-related techniques he learned from Zuo Jing are good.

So this idea naturally appeared in his mind and was perfected.

With these two techniques, when the battle really starts, he will first release a wave of plasma self-destructing flies to destroy the shield armor.

Then the plasma flies will enter the field and be responsible for ending the battle later.

Following this line of thought.

Chen Ming also thought of another direction that he had not thought of before.

That is, the eggs launched by the biological spacecraft can carry parasites, those parasites that can directly control the mechanical individuals.

These parasites do not need to hatch on the way to space. As long as the eggs can hit the target, the parasites can use the energy of the energy crystals they carry to grow and parasitize inside the spacecraft.

Use parasites to control the spacecraft.

Although it may be a little difficult, after all, the size of the parasite is comparable to that of ordinary mechanical units, but it is still a little difficult to face the spacecraft.

However, even so, Chen Ming also thinks that this plan is valuable. Even if he cannot control an entire spacecraft, controlling a part of it should not be a problem to interfere with the driving of the spacecraft.

Chen Ming has already thought of the names of these three new types of biological spacecraft weapons.

[Biological Missile·Parasite], [Biological Missile·Plasma Self-Destructing Flying Insect] and [Biological Fighter·Plasma Flying Insect].

They are all very valuable for practical application.

Even Chen Ming felt that he should let the Queen's biological spacecraft develop specifically in the direction of this aircraft carrier.

Relying on the self-destructing flying insects and the rest of the combat flying insects, a combat method combining missiles and fighters can be created.

However, this is just an idea at present.

The most important thing now is to get the special combat unit out.

The survivability of the special combat unit has been guaranteed, so the next stage will begin.

But there is still no rush to start.

Because it is still early in the morning.

After getting up and washing up, Chen Ming quickly asked someone to send him a breakfast, and then picked up the daily report sent by Bai Quan today.

Since Bai Quan first gave him this report a few days ago, he has been studying the contents of this report all day long.

After all, this allows him to learn a lot of information without leaving home, and some of it can also be verified through his connections outside.

Especially for some changes in public opinion, Chen Ming can understand it very clearly.

After all, Bai Quan's improper management of the Fourteenth Corps branch and the public opinion that seems to be suspected of corruption are really not so easy to ignore.

The entire star field can be said to be spreading this news.

Even the report given by Bai Quan wrote these contents very clearly.

Chen Ming went to verify it specifically, and indeed found that such public opinion was spreading in many places.

This is not just the timely transmission of intelligence from Lao Wu and Glasses.

At the same time, there must be other people who are fueling the spread of these news.

Only in this way can people outside the Fourteenth Corps know this false news so quickly and in a timely manner.

But Bai Quan must have seen it before him, and Bai Quan was still like that when teaching, so Chen Ming didn't ask more questions.

It happened that Bai Quan asked for leave today, saying that he had something to do in the morning and would make up for the morning class in the evening.

By the way, he also asked Chen Ming if he had time to attend a meeting he was going to hold today.

He said that he was going to announce the new rules and regulations of the branch.

Chen Ming could really go to military meetings now, but Chen Ming had basically never been involved in such obviously political matters.

In addition, Bai Quan just said it casually and didn't say that Chen Ming must go, so Chen Ming refused.

Anyway, he could see from these actions that Bai Quan must be pushing something.

Since things were moving forward, Chen Ming didn't need to put all his thoughts on this matter.

He just used this morning to do research.

After breakfast, Chen Ming opened the terminal and played Bai Quan's meeting.

While listening to the content of Bai Quan's meeting half-understandingly, he was doing his own things.

In the past few days, in addition to the research on the Queen of Insects, Chen Ming is also conducting research on simulation experiments.

Mainly, all the data that has been tested in the simulation before must be reproduced.

However, this is quite simple. As long as you have the initial idea, you can just write some things that you will use later, and then throw them into the computer to let the computer calculate them.

In a few days, Chen Ming has reproduced most of the research processes done in the simulation.

The next step is all new research.

Chen Ming even has to spend some time thinking about what content he has not done yet and needs computer simulation.

So that he can put it into the computer to calculate, add it to the content he has studied, and ask Lou Wei to pay more.

The research on the other synchrotron core is also progressing steadily.

It's just the same as when he was studying the Purgatory Core before, the equipment is lacking.

Since this mission was arranged by Baiquan, Chen Ming does not need to spend money to buy equipment. He just needs to tell Baiquan to wait for it to be delivered. It should arrive tonight or tomorrow.

However, from Chen Ming's current research on the synchrotron core, he can clearly feel that the synchrotron core and the purgatory core have different focuses.

The latter focuses mainly on combat.

As for the former, after two days of superficial research.

Chen Ming can basically determine that it is used in logistics.

There are also backdoors left for psychics on the synchrotron, which should also be used to enhance logistics capabilities.

Moreover, it seems to have some important connections with the nanorobots that are inseparable from the mechanical race.

Of course, Chen Ming cannot study it further now, so he still has to wait.

So now, it is more important to study the Zerg units.

Chen Ming's three requirements for the Zerg special combat units are survival, activity and combat.

Survival is no problem, so activity is the next problem to be solved.

Chen Ming wants more than just to allow special combat individuals to have the ability to carry out normal activities.

After all, ordinary ground activities are definitely no problem now.

Even if it is the piece of meat lying there now, as long as it is slightly adjusted to make the muscle tissue more normal, it will not be a problem to move.

And given the physical strength of that piece of meat, its mobility will definitely not be bad.

So, Chen Ming wants more.

He wants to follow Yan Xiong's standards at the time.

Let this special combat unit have the ability to break through the gravity of the planet and move in the space environment.

It sounds like the biological spacecraft actually meets this condition.

If you want to break through the atmosphere and escape the gravity of the planet, you can rely on the [biomass thruster] and the biological engine [rigid digestive sac].

With the [hyperspace stable connective tissue] evolved from the first generation of queen insects, which is equivalent to the hyperspace channel engine system, you can even enter the hyperspace physically.

It can indeed meet Chen Ming's needs.

But Chen Ming wants a special unit specialized in ground combat that is more flexible, more compact, and has more comprehensive combat capabilities.

Battleships can't always replace ground units. Chen Ming just needs the special combat unit he is currently researching to have the ability to move in space and avoid interception.

To meet this idea, it means that the size of the entire special combat unit must be miniaturized.

All body tissue parts must be stuffed into a body that is no more than eight meters in size.

This is Chen Ming's ideal size.

It is also the size of a general shuttle that can land on a planet and take off again.

If it can be further reduced, then try to reduce it as much as possible, preferably to the size of an ordinary person.

Anyway, the main means of attack of the special combat unit will definitely be plasma in the end, and such a large-scale attack method really doesn't require a large size.

So Chen Ming's needs are very clear.

All the large organs of the biological spacecraft can be reduced to a size that can be used in the body of a creature of a few meters in size, and it is also necessary to ensure that these organs can still play their original role.

As long as the original role can be guaranteed, it is enough, and the remaining organs will play their due role by themselves.

The idea is there, and Chen Ming has already had an idea if it is actually done.

Chen Ming communicated with the Queen Worm, and soon she created a new piece of meat that was about 20 meters in size and slightly smaller than the size of an ordinary frigate.

However, it was different from the previous one.

The interior of this piece of meat was no longer pure muscle tissue and some life-sustaining tissue, but some organs that Chen Ming needed to create special combat individuals, which were stuffed in at a very high density under the deliberate design of the Queen Worm.

These crowded organs were constantly repelling each other, squeezing and hurting each other.

After a long time, either the internal organs or the outer layer of epidermal tissue would have problems.

This is the most intensive way that the Queen Worm can currently design the arrangement of organs in the body.

This is the effect that Chen Ming wants.

Such a design is obviously unreasonable, so next, as long as he uses the deep repair psychic power, his psychic power will optimize this obviously unreasonable structure.

Chen Ming has mastered the deep repair psychic power for some time.

He is naturally most clear about the effect of how to use psychic power.

Such a design can definitely allow his psychic power to gradually and reasonably shrink each structure without losing function.

This is Chen Ming's control and use of his spiritual power.

One day passed quickly.

Early the next morning.

Chen Ming once again focused on the Queen Worm.

This time the optimization was not as unsuccessful as the previous piece of meat with chaotic genes. The optimization was indeed successful.

But the depth of the repair was not deep enough.

The 20-meter-long piece of meat did not shrink much, only its internal organs were reduced a lot, and were arranged very reasonably and perfectly in the meat.

So Chen Ming had to let the Queen Worm master the manufacturing methods of these various organs that had shrunk a lot, and then repeat the previous steps.

Chen Ming estimated that it would take a few days, not too long.

And today, the research equipment needed for the synchrotron core was also transported here.

And it was sent through a transfer station set up by Baiquan before.

After what happened before, Baiquan was indeed constantly optimizing various situations on Chen Ming's side and trying his best to ensure Chen Ming's safety.

That's right, the time can be staggered, and the deep optimization of the synchrotron core and the special combat unit's activity capabilities can be carried out together.

Time flies.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

It took a little longer than Chen Ming thought to complete the "activity" requirements of the special combat unit as envisioned by Chen Ming.

Because Chen Ming was still thinking about whether he could continue to optimize after optimizing to the original level.

So he spent a few more days on deep maintenance.

The effect of spending a few more days was also very ideal.

In the end, Chen Ming reduced the minimum size of the meat block to about three meters.

And under this premise, the overall ability did not decrease significantly.

It is better to say that the convenience brought by the reduction in size is definitely greater than the difference in combat power brought by the original size.

This is the special combat unit that Chen Ming wants.

2 On the day when the "activity" design of the special combat unit was completed.

Chen Ming still read the report that Bai Quan sent every day without fail.

Bai Quan had made new moves in the past week.

He started an internal cleanup.

He disclosed all the financial statements and administrative documents of the branch to the headquarters of the 14th Corps.

Bai Quan had secretly calculated every account of the 14th Corps and put it in front of everyone.

Chen Ming knew very well what this meant.

The entire 14th Corps branch was arresting people everywhere, and all those who had made mistakes were arrested without exception.

Even some of Bai Quan's own people were included.

Several staff members on Chen Ming's side were also taken away and never appeared again.

And their work was soon taken over by some people who seemed to have been transferred from the headquarters and had very clean identities and backgrounds, which basically did not affect their work.

Presumably it was the same in other places.

Although Chen Ming didn't care, others seemed to be a little worried.

And Bai Quan's actions made the public opinion that had been rising before even more heated up. The heat of the whole thing has never subsided, and the public opinion attacking him has become more prominent.

Chen Ming went to ask about it.

Bai Quan said that everything was under control and it would be over soon.

Chen Ming did not ask any more questions.

He continued to immerse himself in his research.

Obviously, before Bai Quan solved this matter, all other things had to be put aside.

Then the new needs of the Zerg combat units were naturally placed in front of Chen Ming.

Fighting.

After satisfying survival and activities, fighting became the final condition that needed to be met.

Under the premise of the above foundations.

The most basic melee combat ability of special Zerg units is nothing to say, after all, this is the most powerful part of the Zerg.

And although Chen Ming did not consider the blessing of the Queen's psychic energy when designing, the Queen's psychic energy blessing will definitely not be less in actual combat.

The physical strength of the original flesh that resisted plasma is stronger than the top pure sky steel among advanced materials with the Queen's psychic energy.

Even some materials with weaker strength among special materials can be completely surpassed.

For example, the chainsaw made of special materials in the repair kit that Chen Ming has been carrying with him for a long time.

This thing is made of a relatively low-strength material among special materials. Under normal circumstances, it can directly cut through the rear armor of the cruiser, of course, forget about the front armor.

But the rear armor of the cruiser is also the armor of the cruiser, so its value is there, which is considered to be a proof of the wealth of Sinda Company.

So with a body strength that exceeds the strength of this chainsaw, the melee combat ability of the special combat unit is really nothing to say.

So with such a foundation, Chen Ming does not intend to add too many other attack methods.

Three are enough.

The most important large-scale attack method plasma is nothing to say.

One of the remaining two methods, Chen Ming's choice is [parasite].

The ability of this thing is very useful when facing the mechanical race.

It just so happens that Chen Ming can't indirectly control the mechanical race through afterglow or any other means, so he can only do it himself, and the parasite is very valuable.

And the last method is to cooperate with the fungal blanket of the rest of the Zerg units.

In fact, it is not quite right to say that these two are means of attack. After all, parasites are not considered attacks, and fungal blankets are the basic ability of current Zerg units.

So the special combat units designed by Chen Ming are actually very simple.

The ultimate physical strength combined with plasma with extreme destructive power, this is what Chen Ming wants.
