Chapter 487 Even if It Is the Corpse of a Zergling, I Can Squeeze Out Two Taels of Crystal Ore!
The third eye, which was so bright that it was trying to release friendly mental fluctuations while facing the ferocious worker bee Shashasha who chose to hide behind Luke's thighs. Our comrade Luke, who had the potential to become the "Emperor of Zerg", now looked sad.
As expected, the future Zerg Emperor was stuck with the crystal mine.
The worker bee, who had signed a master-servant contract with Luke rather than an employment contract, currently had only two skills, namely "collection" and "construction".
Needless to say, collection is not limited to collecting crystal mines, high-energy gas, terrazine and other materials that are judged as resources in the game. It is also good at mining, cutting trees, transporting corpses, digging the ground, etc.
And construction is to directly cultivate a Zerg living organ by sacrificing itself, which is the so-called Zerg building.
The only Zerg building that the current worker bees can and can only build is the "hatchery".
As an important building with the function of the heart of the hive, this thing has the important functions of "generating fungal mats", "producing larvae", "storing gene sequences" and "converting processed resources into nutrients". It can be said that with this thing, everything is truly beginning.
However, it requires 300 units of crystal ore...
Let alone 300 units, Luke doesn't even have one unit of ore!
Although Luke has an explosive amount of biomass raw materials, which can guarantee that thousands of Zerg units can be supported at once, he really doesn't have crystal ore and high-energy gas, which are the most basic materials for the interstellar.
As the saying goes, a good cook can't cook without rice. Even if you stuff more biomass into the mouth of this worker bee, it can't change the fact that he has no crystal ore.
The reason why the original larvae before had both the "worker bee" and "springtail" evolution options and no crystal ore consumption option was because Luke directly fed the "worker bee gene sequence" and a whole springtail corpse to the larvae.
Because Luke doesn't have a hatchery as a library to store these two gene sequences, the metamorphosis of this larva is a one-time process, and only larvae that can theoretically evolve into any Zerg unit can do so.
If Luke hatches the other two eggs at this time, they will not be able to share the gene sequences that this larva has eaten. What they want to become depends mainly on what Luke plans to feed them.
However, Luke thinks this is not a completely unsolvable problem. If he doesn't have it, can't he just rob others?
Since the opponent can create tunnel worms and so many troops, the opponent must have a lot of resources at home!
And even if he can't find the opponent's home, there should be some wild crystal veins and high-energy gas in such a large area of the Zerg world!
... However, Luke really guessed wrong. There is no wild resource in the entire Zerg world.
What are Zerg? They are space locusts that eat the resources of one planet after another!
Wherever they go, it is literally barren!
Not only strategic resources such as crystal ore and high-energy gas, but also organisms, plants, minerals, and water sources are all within the scope of the Zerg's plunder.
If Luke could take the time to look at the topographic map of the Zerg world mapped by the flying troops he sent out, he would know that at least the Zerg fragments bordering him are all pink and purple, and almost every place is covered with fungal blankets, which means that the Zerg have explored all the areas.
Even if Luke is replaced as the Zerg commander, he will definitely dig up everything in the sphere of influence, not to mention the Zerg, so the idea of looking for wild mineral veins can be declared bankrupt before it is implemented... But it doesn't matter, the corpse will give the answer.
Just when Luke had the idea of robbing other people's resources, the message prompt gave the additional answer of the current version.
[It is detected that you have obtained the information about the exclusive resources of "Zerg World" - crystal veins, high-energy gas, and biomass by taming "Zerg Worker Bee"...]
[It is detected that you have the basic conditions to establish a "Zerg Hatching Pool"...]
[From now on, crystal veins and high-energy gas will enter the pool of items that can be dropped by monster units in "Zerg World".
When you release "Find Items" on the three monster units "Zerg", "Human Race" and "Protoss" belonging to "Zerg World", the monster corpse may drop the exclusive resources of "Crystal Veins", "High-Energy Gas" and "Biomass" to replace the "Dark Gold" resources and regular drops that may have been dropped.
The amount of the dropped resources will not be higher than the corresponding resources consumed when the unit was manufactured. ]
[Note that only after you officially establish the first "hatching pool" with your exclusive spiritual imprint can you record the biological gene sequence and use it for development and research. 】
…This is exactly what I want to do~
After reading the new message, Luke grinned and smiled with relief.
In fact, the tribes in StarCraft do have the ability to recycle resources, such as the cooperative commanders "Horner and Han", whose units will directly drop a small amount of recyclable resources when they die.
And what Luke can do now is to use his own means to squeeze out the resources that should have left with the corpses of living creatures from the bodies of the Zerg.
The originally hideous and terrifying Zerg units suddenly became very cute in Luke's eyes.
Although Luke had yelled all the broken Zerg corpses before, and only then did he get the worker bee gene sequence and three larval eggs, he actually had another target to yell at.
That was the mummified Zerglings controlled by Lucario under the amplification of the beacon tower.
As mentioned before, Lucario's corpse control ability derived from the dog-headed death god can completely preserve the soul and corpse, so he can still yell even in the mummified state.
Compared with the army of mummified Zerglings that can only be used as cannon fodder, Luke now obviously needs the crystal ore in their bodies more.
Then, they can only sacrifice their bodies.
With the familiar roars, the Zerglings with bandages on their bodies also returned to their hometowns. About half of them had pieces of crystals popping out of their bodies, which were as crystal clear as crystals, but contained rich energy ores, that is, crystal ore.
The crystal ore that can be squeezed out of a Zergling corpse is about 1 to 3 units, which is only one-tenth or even less than what is consumed to make them, but a little bit adds up to a lot. After all the mummy Zerglings are consumed, it is just over 300 units of crystal ore.
So, a meat mountain that is wriggling rapidly, like a large number of muscles and intestines, began to move rhythmically at the junction of the iceberg, desert, and jungle in the center of Dream Island.
At the same time, the small portrait frame of the worker bee in the upper left corner of Luke's panel did not disappear directly, but turned into the appearance of a Zerg hatching pool that is being built rhythmically.
