Chapter 7 Zerg
"Record, the 36th experiment failed, the experimental subject survived for 23 seconds after breaking out of the cocoon, the cause of death, the heart and energy supply system could not bear the body's functions, the hormones in the body were disordered, and the functional organs failed rapidly..." After finishing the record in his hand, he gently hooked the line of faith, and immediately two logistics spider ants came to this independent incubation room and easily carried away the failed springtail body.
"There is progress, at least it has successfully broken out of the cocoon, and it is another new milestone." Han Fei habitually raised his hand and rubbed the forehead of the spirit body. Although it was useless, at least it would be a little psychologically relieved.
The death of this springtail means that another two months of hard work has gone to waste. It takes a month for this thing to accumulate energy from larvae to cocoons, and the cocooning period is also as long as one month.
The birth of this springtail this time is considered to be relatively successful. None of the previous experimental subjects have reached the cocooning stage. Almost all of them died in the larval and cocooning stages due to various problems.
Recently, the species development of Han Fei's core followers has reached a bottleneck. The combat effectiveness of a single Zerg is not impossible to improve, but it takes into account the existing genes, unit consumption, growth time, and other conditions.
The current main combat Zerg unit, the Piercing Wolf Spider, has reached the limit at this balance point.
His main genes come from a carnivorous mutant wolf spider at the top of the food chain in the God's Domain, after adjusting and combining with the genes of the chimera ant and other insects.
The main trunk of the piercing wolf spider is more than 40 cm long, with poisonous fangs and mandibles, covered with carapace, four pairs of eyes provide various visual systems, and the abdomen has a vocal organ as a communication system. The body surface has a color-changing camouflage function, and the tail can spray highly toxic corrosive acid three meters away. The length of each leg of the eight spider legs is more than 50 cm, and it looks like a millstone when all stretched out.
Agile, explosive, and with good jumping ability, the claws on the toes and joints allow them to move quickly on any terrain. The powerful digestive system and energy storage organs bring it a good combat radius.
The most important thing is the three-section folding limb under their chest. After opening, the effective attack distance is 30 centimeters. At the moment of rebounding, it has a terrifying explosive power similar to that of mantis shrimp. The top of the spike has been metallized after absorbing a large amount of metal elements. As long as the target strength does not exceed this specially strengthened foot limb, it will be easily penetrated in an instant, and the venom sprayed from the bottom of the mouth will be sent into the target body. This is also the origin of the name of the piercing wolf spider.
It only takes seven days for the larvae to break out of the cocoon. They don’t eat much at ordinary times. If necessary, they can enter a dormant state, which will reduce the consumption to nearly one-tenth of the usual.
In addition, Han Fei has created several relatively excellent Zerg units in the past ten years.
As a scout, the stinging dragonfly absorbs a lot of genetic advantages of alien dragonflies. It is 20 centimeters in size and has a maximum flying speed of 150 kilometers per hour. It is extremely flexible in the sky. The tail has a telescopic stinger similar to that of a wasp. The four pairs of eyes integrate various visual collection systems and have a huge observation range.
Logistics spider ants are full-time producers. Their main trunk is 30 cm in size. They combine the strength and carrying capacity of ants and the ability of spiders to spin silk. They have a pair of digging feet on their chests, and the remaining three pairs of legs combine the flexibility of spider legs and mouse claws. While being able to dig efficiently, they can also handle a variety of more complex collection and transportation tasks. The three pairs of eyes on their heads provide them with an excellent visual system. The large mandibles on both sides and the fangs in their mouths represent that they are not logistics units without combat effectiveness.
Scimitar cockroaches, as support units of the swarm, are 40 cm in size. They use the alienated cockroach genes in the God's Domain for adjustment, fusion and optimization. They have a pair of front jaws on their heads, and their mouths are similar to the piercing and sucking mouthparts of mosquitoes, which can easily deliver venom into the body of their prey. Their body surface is a color-changing camouflage system, and the elytra on their backs give them excellent flying ability.
In order to fly, the scimitar cockroaches abandoned their heavy shells, which weakened their ability to resist attacks. However, their slender and flexible legs allow them to move quickly and flexibly when crawling on the ground. They have a pair of bone back sickles at the front of their backs, which have great slashing power and can easily cut off the heads of small mammals in the divine domain.
Now the larvae produced by the queen ant are all these four units. The formation of each of their units has undergone dozens of optimizations by Han Fei, and they have balanced combat effectiveness, food consumption, growth cycle, etc., reaching the optimal solution at this stage.
No longer thinking about springtails, Han Fei's spirit body immediately rose and flew to the underground insect nest two kilometers away from this laboratory.
There is nothing unusual about the lush vegetation above the insect nest, and there are a large number of stinging dragonflies patrolling this area, but under this piece of ground, there is a huge cave.
As the residence of the queen ant, this place is in the center of the entire insect swarm and is protected by the insect swarm. Within a three-kilometer range on the ground, there are no other living species except insect swarm units and plants.
The stinging dragonflies and piercing wolf spiders patrol the cave 24 hours a day, resolutely eliminating any non-insect creatures that appear in the cave, which can be said to be the ultimate bodyguard work.
Six wide passages connect the cave to six ground insect nests three kilometers away. The logistics spider ants coming and going in the passages constantly carry food here.
Each ground insect nest extends three to six kilometers outward. There will be a new ground insect nest, which will spread layer by layer as a food storage warehouse and garrison point.
Through this layer-by-layer advancement method, the insect swarm’s control areas have spread throughout the entire God’s Domain. The advanced sound information transmission system makes the insect swarm’s communication efficient. As an excellent messenger, the Stinging Dragonfly can communicate within more than forty minutes. Across the entire divine domain, send the message to any insect swarm unit.
The queen ant was still lying on the ground unable to move. Han Fei's spirit body gently landed next to the queen ant, skillfully conveying his thoughts and concern to her.
"How are you feeling? Is there anything you want to eat?" Han Fei's thoughts entered the queen's soul.
The two tentacles on the queen ant's head that were drooping just now began to sway happily.
"God, I feel very good. I don't feel uncomfortable at all. I want to eat a lot of sweet big aphids." A message was passed to Han Fei along the line of faith. Although the intelligence of the queen ant is much higher than that of ordinary people, A mentally retarded unit, but her current thinking is similar to that of a human child.
Han Fei immediately pulled the thread of faith. In an aphid farm five kilometers away, a group of stinging dragonflies immediately took off and began to select suitable large aphids in the farm.
We don’t want those that are too small, not green enough, or those that have just finished sucking the sap. These stinging dragonflies are like the most skilled farmers, judging the aphids on the leaves and selecting the tribute-level high-quality large aphids. .
