Gods: The Swarm

Chapter 260 Is This a One-Eyed Person?

Just when Dimi looked solemn and thought that the Queen of Insects might have failed this time, and this life was over.

The cocoon had already begun to tremble violently.

"Tap..., tap..."

The slight muffled sound from the insect egg startled Dimi, who had his head pressed tightly against the outer wall of the incubator.

Dimi's huge compound eyes suddenly glowed with a glimmer of surprise.

It was because his mental power had clearly sensed the situation inside the insect egg.

In his opinion, this one-eyed human embryo, which had not even grown a body, had actually tried to break out of the cocoon.

This was definitely a laboratory accident.

Before Dimi could figure out how to deal with it, he heard a few "pop" sounds, as if a needle tip pierced a water ball.

Looking at the cocoon again, although it was not completely broken, it was pierced from the inside by eight pink tender flesh tentacles with sharp tentacles.

The eight tentacles that resembled octopus tentacles kept swaying and dancing.

The entire cocoon was running around in the sticky nutrient solution.

"Huh?"

Seeing this scene, Dimi was stunned for a moment, his head buzzing.

I saw that the inner side was like an octopus tentacles, with many suckers, sucking the nutrient solution crazily.

The plump pink tentacles kept wriggling like a pulse, quickly absorbing nutrients for the body still in the cocoon.

As time went by, the outer surface of those pink tentacles quickly keratinized at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The delicate skin and flesh gradually covered with a tough and soft shell, which continued to extend to the main body.

In less than ten minutes, the main body still in the cocoon completely tore the cocoon membrane.

"Uh............."

Dimi looked at the creature that broke out of the cocoon, and his mood was quite complicated.

At first glance, it really looked like an octopus.

But if you look closely, it is much uglier than an octopus.

The outer surface of the main body has not yet fully materialized, and it still looks bloody.

It looks like a complete brain tissue just taken out of the skull of a monocular tribe.

Floating in the nutrient solution at this time, it is no different from the brain specimens soaked in formalin in the laboratory.

A blood-red single eye grows on the surface of the main body, and the sound, hearing, and olfactory systems are integrated into its tentacles.

There is no trace of a monocular person in this. Except that it is still a monocular person, it is a completely new species.

"Is this the masterpiece of Her Majesty the Queen of Insects?"

"It's really... incredible."

Dimi really can't think of the right words to express his feelings at this moment.

After taking this octopus-like life out of the incubator.

After another month of detailed testing, the test results were finally released.

This new species has a strong ability to adapt to the environment, and is not much different from ordinary Zerg populations.

It does not have reproductive capacity, and even does not have that organ at all.

To put it simply, the entire body tissue is the brain plus tentacles and some functional systems.

The eight tentacles have all the functions of the original one-eyed human body, and are also responsible for continuously delivering energy to the brain tissue.

Yes, continuously!

Once the tentacles stop delivering bioenergy and nutrition, the induced mutated brain tissue will also rapidly fail in a short period of time.

Shirley didn't care about this problem at all, her approach was simpler and more brutal.

If there is not enough bioenergy and nutrition, then increase the supply.

If your own body can't provide consumption, why not change to a body that can provide consumption?

As for the original inefficient body, it is useless and hinders the development of the brain, so it is all discarded.

Dimi flipped through the complete test report and scratched his head with a bone sickle.

"A parasitic species?"

"The daily bioenergy consumed is not large. As long as the host can provide enough nutrients, it can coexist for a long time."

"The key is that when the mental power is used intensively, the bioenergy consumed will also surge sharply until the host is completely drained."

Dimi pondered for a long time and finally made up his mind.

"Extract his genes and try to clone in batches. I need more test samples and more detailed test data..."

In Dimi's opinion, although this new species is far from perfect, it can barely meet the requirements put forward by the master.

There is no one-step solution to scientific research.

Showing the interim results is more conducive to the development of future research directions.

Whether to improve or start over, or even change direction, the master has to decide.

……………………

In the underground temple a few months later.

Han Fei silently flipped through the test data, and from time to time glanced at the parasitic alien springtail at his feet.

Look at the strange insect that has its tentacles deeply embedded in the body of the alienated springtail, has reached a symbiotic relationship with the alienated springtail, and is constantly absorbing nutrients.

He couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Isn't this just copying my early intelligent Zerg gene template, and then replacing the main body with a single-eyed person, and then mixing in some genes of later species."

"But, is this still a single-eyed person? Is this a tentacle monster or an octopus brain?"

"Uh..., let's call it a brainworm."

Han Fei really didn't expect that Dimi would cultivate such a parasitic intelligent Zerg.

Well, to be more precise, this parasitic brainworm was optimized by Shirley based on Dimi's achievements.

The messy genes that Shirley used were the result of Han Fei's continuous analysis of common species over the years, and they were all stored in Shirley's gene bank.

When she was optimizing the genetic template, she probably didn't think much about it. She didn't even consider the experimental direction proposed by Dimi. She happened to see something that could be used and used it.

Han Fei took a rough look at the test data, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can you only control a million springtails, or a hundred thousand thunder beasts?"

Dimi stood at the feet of Han Fei's demigod body, wagging his little tail, and hurriedly explained:

"Uh... Great Master, humble little Dimi, please look at Appendix 3 again."

"After practicing the meditation method, the brain worms can stably complete the mental transformation, and the number of controlled worms will continue to increase as their mental power increases."

"As the level of belief in brainworms increases, the number of controlled insect groups will increase exponentially."

"According to our calculations, brainworms at the level of fanatics and with completely stabilized mutant mental power are capable of controlling a formation of hundreds of millions of springtails."

Having said this, Dimi paused slightly uneasily, then continued to explain:

"It's just that... the experimental subject we just spawned... uh... is this kind of brain worm, and its faith is generally low."

"At most, they are devout believers. Moreover, so far, those who have made the fastest progress in meditation practice have not yet completely stabilized their mutated mental power..."

Han Fei sighed while looking at the appendix and listening to Dimi's explanation.

Sure enough, as he expected, the highly intelligent Zerg, whose brains were affected by the addition of foreign genes, would have problems with their beliefs.

Originally, he saw hope in Dimi to circumvent this problem, but he didn't expect that it would come back again now.
