Space-time Traveler Chapter 19: Swarm evolution
At the same time.
On the periphery of the resistance base, a shriveled figure is wandering in the uninhabited wilderness. It looks like it has lost its target, wandering around like a wandering soul, searching for something.
More than ten kilometers away from this figure, is a small team of well-equipped assassins.
Not all imperial assassins can be permanently invisible. Only the strength of level 7 psionicists can accept constant psionic increase transformation and transform themselves into a state of permanent invisibility. This process is quite painful. They need to implant a variety of bionic organs in the body, and leave some inscriptions left by the ancient lost empire on the surface of the skin. These are mysterious characters containing spiritual power. Only in this way can the assassins stay invisible. .
However, the empire’s assassins have all received invisible psionic training, and the psionics they specialize in are invisibility, paralysis, heavy burden, surpassing, and so on.
"Has the situation here been reported to Her Majesty the Queen?" a silhouetted figure began to speak.
The assassin wearing silver-gray combat uniforms respectfully said: "It has been reported. The queen asked us to monitor its movements."
"The Empire is convening the Knights."
At this moment, a phantom with a prominent outline appeared in the darkness on the side, and then a cold female voice sounded: "Are we really going to deal with this monster?"
"The empire has failed many times."
"Speak carefully." A vague old man was speaking, and he slowly said: "This kind of thing is not something we should consider."
"Your Majesty the Queen has her own decision."
The imperial royal family has become more and more sad these years. If Edward I can be killed, it will undoubtedly be able to restore a part of its prestige. Moreover, even if it is unsuccessful, it can also take the opportunity to weaken the power of the ministers and the church. The action this time is definitely not something that Queen Isabella's private forces can handle, and other factions within the empire must help.
This mad emperor is a scar in the hearts of all empires. I don't know how many people want to end it.
It is the past of the empire.
It is always reminding them of their past failures and the painful price they have paid. Only by killing it can the empire usher in a new life.
This small team of assassins waited patiently.
But they didn’t notice that, more than a thousand meters away, something invisible to the naked eye was observing them in the dark. On the side of the cliff, there were traces of spider crawling, accompanied by fuzzy air. , Faintly revealed a creature with many legs, and there was more than one nearby.
"Disasters found!..."
"Notify the bug mother immediately!..." A weak telepath came out, directly sent to a beetle tens of meters underground.
Soon.
Hundred kilometers away from the underground base of the Resistance Army, a sarcoma-like creature with a diameter of more than ten meters and many tentacles floats up. It has an obvious spiritual power field on its body. With this spiritual power Field, it can be directly suspended in mid-air, but because of its size, its actions are also quite slow.
In the interior of the insect swarm, its existence is similar to a signal tower, which can help the insect mother control other zerg tribes.
Of course.
If the psionic level of the worm mother is high enough, there is no need for such a zerg unit. But when necessary, they can also evolve a second time, directly evolving into a creature with extended bone wings, covered with a blue-purple mucus protective film, and then directly dropped into the satellite orbit of the planet as a biological satellite orbiting it. The planet flies while maintaining the psionic communication network of different nests.
The communication range of the Worm Nest is directly linked to the psionic level of the worm mother. Zergs that exceed the communication range too much may morph into a wild insect swarm.
"A natural disaster appears!"
"Continue to monitor them!... The brood is preparing to incubate Leviathan!..."
"We need the genetic seeds of natural disasters."
"Assemble the swarm."
"Waiting for the right time."
A series of extremely low-frequency psionic messages are transmitted. The Zerg’s psionic communication network is very strange. Human instruments can only detect slight fluctuations, and only people with strong psychic powers can connect.
At this time.
Thousands of kilometers away from the carrier, and thousands of meters deep underground, in a huge and city-like insect nest, there are countless busy worker bees in the central corrupted organ. They use sharp mouths. The ore was crushed by the device, and then it was thrown into an organ nest that was constantly squirming and crushing. Farther away were groups of zergs with obvious ant characteristics. They were carrying many heavy objects far beyond their own body. The entire worm nest looked like With a huge and sophisticated machine, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Located in the center of the flesh and blood organs, the ground is a dark blue fungus carpet, and in the center is a unique mechanical instrument on which a group of DNA fragments are projected.
In the dark.
You can see a slender figure, which seems to extend from the wall of flesh and blood, and transforms into the outline of a humanoid creature. A cold and sharp arm stretches out with three cyan fingers on it, sharp and sharp. Gently put his fingernail on the projection, and then ordered: "Continue to reorganize the gene tree of the swarm."
"Let the velociraptor also have the ability to swallow and digest metal ore."
"The biochemical transformation can be temporarily stopped."
"Human organ implantation and biological modification are not suitable for insect swarms. The efficiency of doing so is too low."
"The swarm needs to evolve to perfection by itself."
Following its orders.
In a huge fleshy cavity in the Worm’s Nest, thousands of swift insects are gnawing frantically on the crimson ore on the side. Their sharp teeth grind the ore into powder, and then bit by bit. Swallowed into the stomach. The genetically modified gastric sac began to digest these ores, but within a short time, hundreds of velociraptors began to blush with red eyes, showing signs of violent anger, and then some began to die, and some began to attack other Zerg species.
More and more velociraptors were going crazy or dying, and finally all the zergs in the flesh and blood cavity turned into piles of cold corpses.
"Evolution failed."
"The current gene bank reorganization cannot completely digest metal ores and transfer them to the evolutionary sequence of limbs."
It is this huge cavity of flesh and blood that sends out the psionic message, and it seems to have a certain amount of wisdom.
"Recover corpses."
"Collect genetic changes and detect mutation sequences."
On the wall of the flesh and blood cavity, the flesh and blood pipes were opened by a sudden squirming, and then a dark green liquid like stomach acid gushed out, quickly submerging the corpses of these zergs, but it took a while. , The corpses of those zergs were completely digested and clean.
"Found three imperfect mutant genes."
"Is it included in the gene bank?"
"We are collecting samples and recalculating the evolutionary model."
Three minutes later.
After the last batch of Zergs all died, thousands of velociraptors soon entered this fleshy cavity. They should have just hatched, because some of the velociraptors still carry on their carapace. A trace of light blue mucus, they consciously gathered in the center of the flesh and blood organs, and then continued to swallow the ore on the side under the order of the worm mother.
This time, an obvious change has taken place.
On some of the velociraptors, their carapace has undergone some special changes. The position of the abdomen has a silvery white color, and the position of the back has a reddish red color, all exuding a metallic luster.
A large number of velociraptors died.
In the end, fewer than five survived, and the carapace on the surface of the body had a distinct metallic color.
"A surviving unit appears."
"Genetic testing is underway!...Evolution is not perfect!...Let's test the intensity!..."
The flesh and blood channel on the side opened.
Hundreds of other velociraptors came out afterwards. They rushed in frantically, attacking the survivors with their claws and teeth. The velociraptors with metalized carapace on their bodies were even more fierce, with their blood-red pupils. Miniatures, kills more than a dozen of the same kind in an instant.
The merciless killing continues.
In the end, these five evolved velociraptors were killed by their unevolved species.
"The test is complete."
"The degree of strengthening of the biological carapace is 120%, and the degree of strengthening of the biological claw is 150%, which does not meet the specified requirements. The biological superalloy sample is being collected and the gene mutation experiment is restarted!"
"Recover the mutant gene."
From the dark red wall, a dark green liquid gushed out again, quickly digesting the zerg corpse inside, and then infiltrated into the fleshy floor little by little, and disappeared in no time. .
In a few minutes.
Thousands of velociraptors were thrown into the wall of flesh and blood, and a new round of evolutionary experiments began again.
Icy, ruthless, cruel, and efficient.
In the entire worm nest, there is not only this cavity of flesh and blood, but there are also huge cavities like fortresses on the side. They are constantly excreted and absorbed, vomiting a lot of flesh, nutrients and metals.
Boom.
Suddenly, a huge explosion occurred in one of the flesh and blood chambers.
Along with the flying walls of flesh and blood, a silver-gray scorpion appeared in a peristaltic incubator. Its diameter was about five meters, its length was nearly twelve meters, its body was flat, its limbs were well developed, and its tail was A barb, under the barb is a black hole biological cannon tube, which is exuding wisps of light blue light.
"The evolutionary sequence of biological plasma attack is completed! The power reaches the expected goal!"
"Incorporating into the gene bank."
"Insufficient bioenergy supply has been detected, and the evolutionary sequence is incomplete... It is expected that the evolutionary can only launch three attacks... is transforming the gene sequence..."
"It is recommended to implant a higher-level Zerg psionic template."
"The evolutionary materials are beyond the budget. The genetic sequence is being optimized, the carapace defense is weakened, and the mobility is strengthened..."
A swarm of worker bees swarmed over.
They sandwiched some dark and purple flesh and blood substances, and began to repair the flesh and blood cavity with their own mucus. Soon the whole flesh and blood cavity was completely closed again, and only piles of materials were sent into it.
The center of the nest.
The entire worm nest is moving at an astonishing speed, and at the very center is an extremely huge capsule. It is impossible to see what it is, but the outline is a bit like a fish, it is just as slow and powerful as a heart. The ground was beating, thousands of flesh and blood pipes connected to its huge body, and it was constantly injecting nutrients into it.
