Chapter 6 The Research Brain Is Too Important
Just now, Barton received an urgent military report from a friendly fleet, and the content of the military report made him feel only two words—absurd.

If you want to make an analogy, Commander Patton's mood now is similar to that of a human being who heard someone say 'the duck cooked in the pot flew away'.

You know, the highest level of psionic energy for bee swarm creatures is only tenth level, and even the entire planet can run at super-light speed, how many levels of psionic energy does this have?
The Void God is coming?
The Void God doesn't seem to have done anything to make an entire planet go faster than the speed of light!

The solid cognition built up over the years of beehive battles with the Tower of Babel has been challenged unprecedentedly, and Commander Patton naturally has doubts about this urgent military situation.

The commander of the friendly fleet was not surprised that Patton had this kind of reaction. Not long ago, he had the same reaction. He shook the wings on his back and said, "Commander Patton, I know you can't believe it. This is from the Beaufort fleet. Take a look at the battlefield recorder information."

After receiving the battlefield records sent by the friendly fleet, and witnessing the whole process of the Lair Star exceeding the speed of light, Commander Patton no longer had any doubts about the content of the military situation.

"Nars, is this a new species of bee colony?" Barton asked the friendly fleet commander.

"I don't know, but no matter what the lair star is, it can't be good news." Nars replied, the membranous wings on his back trembled, and he continued: "This time the combat staff appointed you as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces." Commander, the fleet commanded by me, Beaufort, Gero, and Xun Sitan will form a joint fleet with you, and the request of the staff department is only one. The nest star is left for the study of the changes in the bee colony of the Tower of Babel. , and the remaining bee colony creatures are all exterminated'."

"understood."

Patton took over the task, the contact between the two sides was broken, and Patton contacted the deputy commander of the fleet again.

"During the previous battle, were the gravitational disruptors serving in the fleet damaged?"

The deputy commander replied: "No, the previous battle only damaged the nano armor of some frigates."

Commander Patton scanned the damage report sent by the deputy commander with four eyes, and gave an order after a while.

"The swarm of the Tower of Babel has undergone a change. We have an urgent mission to set sail immediately, so that all those who are on vacation at Starport can return to the ship." The damaged frigate remained in Star City, and frigates were dispatched from Star City's garrison fleet to fill up the interception fleet frigate vacancy. "

"When will the fleet set sail?" asked the second-in-command.

"After two crystal decay periods."

……

"I miss the earth, I miss my bathroom..."

Lu Entropy came out of the toilet he ordered the worker bees to dig with a bitter face.

The main brain of the bee colony has studied Lu Entropy's human body structure and genes. Although the main brain has run away, the research information is still kept in the nest star, so the problems of air, food and water are easy to solve.

The trouble is going to the toilet. Although the creatures of the Babel swarm can also excrete, they never use toilet paper after excretion, and they don’t even mind rolling in their own excrement. Naturally, there is no toilet paper for Lu Entropy.

Lu Entropy didn't notice this kind of thing until halfway through the pit, so he could only direct the bee swarm in the toilet in extreme depression, and get some gelatinous soft shells that fell off after the alienation of the young bees to serve as toilet paper.

This kind of gelatinous soft shell can barely be used as toilet paper, but the friction is a bit strong, so that after Lu Entropy came out of the toilet, he only felt a burning pain in the back.

"Hiss... squatting for too long, my legs are numb..."

"The bee colony needs scientific research creatures who know how to edit genes, and we can't wait any longer." Lu Entropy murmured solemnly.

In fact, using the clothes on Lu Entropy as the material, it is no problem to produce a batch of high-density soft fiber cloth as toilet paper.

The problem is that in the bee colony of Lu Entropy, none of the organisms can do gene editing, which means that the hive can properly fine-tune the creatures of the bee colony by changing the biological hormones.

Originally, Lu Entropy wanted to solve the problems of the fleets of the Galaxy Alliance, and then solve the scientific research problems within the bee colony, but now it seems that he can't wait any longer. If he waits any longer, he might lose his integrity as a human being. !

He needs hive creatures for brain work!

The swarm needs it too!
Lu Entropy sank into his mind, connected to the psionic network of the bee colony, and gave orders to all the hives on the nest star.

"Bee colonies need organisms with gene editing capabilities, and all hives must learn how to edit biological genes like a master brain starting today."

Soon, the hive replied to Lu Entropy through the psionic network.

[Gene editing is your job, Mastermind. 】

"Don't give me excuses! Let me ask you, if one day the bee swarm encounters a powerful enemy and destroys the mastermind of the entire Babel bee swarm in a very short time, what should we do then?"

[If the mastermind is lost, the mastermind will replenish the number of masterminds. 】

"Then the master also died together? How do you replenish the number of master brains? Or, do you create a master?"

【…】

All hives are silent, if masters can be created casually, the tower of Babel bee colony will be full of masters long ago.

"The division of labor in the past of the bee colony has a great danger of extinction, so we must make changes! And we can't wait, we must change it immediately, immediately, and quickly!"

[Okay, we will make changes. 】

After a leadership lecture, Lu Entropy finally persuaded the beehives under his hands to make changes. However, just changing the model is not enough.

In terms of hardware, the hive cannot compare with the master brain. Complex thinking such as imagination and deep thinking cannot be done by the hive and other low-level hive creatures.

Except for the main brain and master, all the individual brain structures of the bee colony are simplified designs.

I don't know what the mastermind and master who designed this way thought.

It may be that the biological control of the bee colony is convenient, or it may be that the mastermind and master will appear in the bee colony casually to usurp the control authority of the bee colony, so the biological class barrier is deliberately constructed.

Anyway, Lu Entropy couldn't see the benefit of this kind of biological design to the bee colony.

For this reason, it is necessary to find a brain template of an intelligent creature. Lu Entropy first thought of himself, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. He didn't want his genes to be played by others at will.

Later, Lu Entropy thought of catching some aliens from the Galaxy Alliance and using their brains as templates.

But after thinking about it, they gave up. After all, the path they took was not biological.

The naturally evolved brain is likely to have a lot of redundancy, such as the human brain. In fact, there are some patients with hydrocephalus whose central part of the brain has been liquefied by more than 50%. He is healthier than some fat houses who don't exercise.

And considering the incompatibility of the social model, Lu Entropy did not have a bee colony creature capable of scientific research to solve this incompatibility, so this was also given up.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the brain of the swarm mastermind is the most suitable, and it can be cloned and used directly without any adjustments.

Just when Lu Entropy was thinking about whether he should attack some fleeing space swarms, he received an alarm from other swarm creatures in the swarm network.

"Huh? The fleet of the Starship Alliance?"
