Chapter 25 Springtail
The three previous experimental bodies all successfully broke out of the cocoon, and the longest-lived springtail even reached a week and a half. Although there are still various problems, Han Fei believes that it will not take too long for the birth of the new ground main combat unit.
He had a serious look on his face, and he released his divine thoughts to carefully observe the state in the giant cocoon, and then cut open the light curtain to start this record.
"The heartbeat is strong, the body is well developed, the internal organs and various functional systems are already formed, and the problems of hormone disorder and adrenal glands that were found last time and could not be effectively controlled have all been improved." Looking at the springtails in the cocoon with good development.
"I have a hunch that this time it will succeed." Han Fei seemed to have received some kind of induction, and was full of confidence in the birth of this springtail.
It took less than two hours for the new springtail to break out of the cocoon. Compared with the previous springtail version.
This new springtail. Its main trunk abandoned the original mouse template and adopted a newly obtained combination of dog genes and jackal genes, and its body shape was also more robust and slender.

The head is still a combination of obvious insect features and canine creatures, with sharper teeth in the mouth and a pair of large jaws on both sides, which looks very aggressive and can also protect the side of the head.
The visual system is a pair of main eyes plus four pairs of secondary eyes, which provide various visual functions while obtaining a 360-degree visual range. The back of the head does not have the original tentacles, but is wrapped by large pieces of high-density bones, which are stacked and extend all the way to the back.
The surface of the body benefits from the genes contributed by a scaly lizard with excellent defense and a love of eating ore. It also replaces the carapace with various poor performances and replaces it with large scales with metallic luster. While no longer restricting the movement of the body, the protection, heat dissipation, weight and other indicators are far better than before.
The design of the limbs maintains the original style, with sharp claws, thick hind limbs, and strong jumping ability. All of them have been strengthened on the original basis. There is also a spiked tail behind the buttocks, which can better ensure the balance of the body and has a good ability to strike.
The back is still a pair of bone back sickles, and the swing force and strength have been improved. Han Fei wanted to install the piercing limbs of the piercing wolf spider on him, but many problems such as bone strength, body energy supply, and muscle strength could not be solved, so he had to give up for the time being.
After leaving the giant cocoon, the new Zerg unit was obviously more active than all the previous test subjects. It was shaking its head to adapt to the body. From the appearance, except for the lack of wings, it was very close to the appearance of the springtail in the previous life memory, and even more fierce.
Han Fei immediately took him out of the laboratory and began to conduct a comprehensive test on this new unit. He needed a lot of data to understand this new unit in more detail.
Three days later, Han Fei looked at the test report in front of him, and the excited smile on his face since the beginning of the test never dissipated.
This time, the springtail unit did not have the problems of the previous version. The hormones in the body were extremely stable, the fastest movement speed could reach 100 kilometers per hour, and the endurance was excellent. The energy storage organs in the body were enough to support them in long-distance raids.
The adrenal glands have been improved to be controllable, and the burden on the body can be ignored at any time, maintaining the best condition for continuous fighting.
The bite force of the fangs in the mouth exceeds 5,000 kilograms, and the bite force of the mandibles on both sides is even greater. The force of the tail whip can easily cut a big tree as thick as a bowl in half, and the swing of the back sickle and the attack of the claws can tear a two-centimeter thick iron plate into pieces.
In the test of defense, the high-density bones on the back can bounce off the powerful bows and arrows shot at close range, and the scales on other parts of the body can also play a good defensive effect against the slashing of metal weapons.
The results of this test all exceeded Han Fei's expectations, of course, including the food intake of the springtail, which normally consumes twice as much food as ordinary jackals. Compared with the existing main units of the swarm, the consumption is more than 20 times.
Even if the hibernation system he has optimized long ago is loaded, the energy consumption can only be reduced to 25% of the original at most.
Fortunately, as Zerg units are not pure carnivores, the excellent digestive system studied by Han Fei can allow them to extract nutrients from most organic matter.
Han Fei looked at the test report and began to carefully calculate the current resource situation in the God's Domain. With his superb God's Domain management ability and his followers in hibernation mode.
While maintaining the current 8 million Zerg, the scale of the springtails should be able to be maintained at 2 million.
After all, the previous demigod could feed 700,000 jackals with the God's Domain. As long as it is properly managed, 2 million springtails will definitely be no problem. Thinking of this, Han Fei is full of expectations for the future.
However, it is necessary to continue to observe for a period of time, and produce a small batch as a test sample first, in case there are any fatal defects in this springtail template.
If it dies after two weeks like the last springtail experiment, Han Fei will lose tens of thousands of eggs, so the plan to breed springtails on a large scale can only be temporarily shelved.
The work on springtails at hand came to a temporary end, and Han Fei focused his attention on the separately designated living area of octopus shrimps and began the most detailed investigation and genetic comparison.
A month passed quietly as Han Fei observed the octopus shrimp. Through the detailed records he kept during this period, he could already say with confidence that he was definitely an octopus shrimp expert.
"Whether it is living habits, eating habits, or genetic understanding, I have done my best. This time, I will definitely make sure it is foolproof." Han Fei, who was determined to adjust the queen ant's genes again, disappeared instantly and went to the Gods Exchange Continent. He needed to buy some extraordinary supplies to prepare for the queen ant's transformation.
Han Fei, who turned into a ball of light, came to the official mall of human civilization again. This time, he still went directly to the counter and asked the staff behind the counter about the products he needed.
"Hello, I have some questions about the products that I want to consult." Facing the staff behind the counter, Han Fei greeted politely.
"Welcome, what do you want to consult?" The staff was in a good mood facing a polite guest.
"It's like this, I have a follower who needs to undergo a transformation recently. During this process, she can't take food on her own. Can you sell me some life spring water here?" Han Fei decisively put forward his needs.
