Zerg in the crystal wall system world

Chapter 31 Evolution Chambers and Split Pools

Outside the hatch, the Overlord opened his eyes from the throne.

There are nearly 100 elven tribes in the whole world, and Elal knows the exact coordinates of more than [-] that are probably close to them—thanks to the magical talent of the elves who "never get lost in the forest", their sense of orientation is more developed than the master imagined .

Recording the coordinates is something that the master doesn't need to worry about, the hatchery's own nerve center can record all relevant information.

What he needs to focus on now is the construction of sub-bases.

After understanding the details and habits of the elves, the swarm needs to be prepared to develop in the cracks in the elves' territory.

The fear-like personality of the elves means that elves cannot live too densely, and with the rangers wandering outside the elf settlement as the outermost security force, the actual area of ​​an elf settlement should not be small.

But compared to the vast forest, it is still not worth mentioning.

For example, the current swarm creep, according to Erard's estimation, wait until the area covered by the creep increases by about [-] times before it is possible to arouse the vigilance of the rangers of the three surrounding elf tribes - to conduct long-distance patrols on a whim Lin Ke is not in this scope.

Of course, Juggernaut will not really develop the creep to the extent of the cordon.

He has already planned that after expanding the creep here by three to five times, he will stop the expansion of the creep here and focus on the construction of the creep here.

According to his plan, it would be best to make small creeps a common "natural phenomenon" in the forest before a complete war with the elves broke out.

While the creeps are connected by tunnels, troops are stationed underground. After accumulating a sufficient number of combat units, the whole world will be overturned in one fell swoop.

As soon as the first batch of worker bees hatched in the hatchery, the master had already ordered the worker bees to develop into division pools and evolution chambers.

The split pool can be regarded as the "editor" of the swarm, which contains all kinds of extremely complex catalytic enzymes and various "essences", and it takes a lot of effort to develop.

Instead of unlocking and studying the evolution cavity of any genes, it is just a pile of various bones and carapaces of meat. It seems that it is not as big as the poisonous body, and it has been developed first in a short time.

But despite the ugly appearance of the evolution cavity, its importance is irreplaceable.It is a testing ground and research and development base for various genes and traits.It is also the prerequisite for the production of countless Zerg units and buildings.

Take the tunnel worms that are indispensable for building tunnel networks as an example. To produce tunnel worms in good condition, you must first activate their unique "tremor muscle protein" gene fragments and "empty tube bone" gene fragments in the evolution cavity. And activate the proprietary "corrosion fluid" gene fragment for the planet's soil quality.

Then, these activated genes will be assembled and integrated in the advanced building "nest" of the hatchery, and the corresponding activated proteins will be produced and given to the worker bees before the tunnel worms can be produced.

In fact, in reality, there is no such rough and streamlined technology tree as in the game.There is no such thing as the master giving an order, and then the hatchery turns into a huge cocoon, and when the time limit is up, the hatchery evolves into a "nest" with a snap.

If you want to upgrade the hatchery, you need to perform a series of genes in the evolution chamber, such as "wet and soft environment", "acidification nest", "gelled egg shell", "level I exchange membrane", "repulsion inhibition"... Unlock and test.

In addition, if the excellent traits of dragons and lions, elves, and trolls want to be added to the gene chain of the swarm, they must first be tested and adjusted in the evolution cavity-of course this is from the perspective of the swarm. Zerg individuals don't need to be so troublesome. Many Zerg units have the ability to directly obtain gene fragments from food to evolve on the spot.

However, at this time, the Juggernaut did not let the evolution chamber unlock the pre-genes of the tunnel network in the first place.

That kind of relatively advanced unit is not in a hurry yet.

On the contrary, the master started to let the evolution cavity start to try to unlock the genes of "digging foot", "sorkin mold", and "compression cavity".

"Digging Foot" is a prerequisite for the Zerg's "burrowing" ability, but it is also the easiest prerequisite for the "burrowing" ability.The bulk of the difficulty is still modulated on the nervous system and respiratory system.

"Sorkin's mold" and "compression cavity" are both prepared for the infected body. With the cooperation of the two, only a simple modification of the phage is needed to make the infected body a powerful self-destruct unit.

Judging from the battle with Eilal, ordinary infected bodies have no effect on this kind of high-level combat power that ignores minor injuries and physical exertion.

Juggernaut needs to let the infected body burst into stronger attack power.Compared with further improving muscle strength, bone quality and nerve response, self-destruction is the easiest to achieve.

With the order of the master.

The meaty evolution cavity also began to change rapidly: Dozens of sharp feet of different sizes and structures began to grow on one end of the meaty piece, and they quickly made digging movements; the other end grew out a piece of extremely elastic flesh The pimple expands and shrinks rapidly with the rhythm of the blood vessels; in the middle, a pile of black mold is born, which is ignited from time to time and bursts into a dazzling red light...

…………

three days later.

Sixty kilometers west of the Dragon and Lion Territory.

With a roar, accompanied by huge flames, smoke and dust, and crooked trees, a centipede-shaped monster more than ten meters long, which Eral called "thick-shelled myriad", was rushed up by more than 60 of them. The self-exploding infected body exploded into several pieces.

It also indicates that the insect swarm has once again begun to expand its territory on a large scale.

But this time, it was not the same as usual: first capture the centipede to read the memory, and then spread the creep on a large scale.Eral's memory is enough to prove the safety of the surrounding.

Instead, at the same time as the self-explosive infected body made a surprise attack, the arrow gulls flew up in all directions and sprinkled a rain of creeps, and the infected body advanced synchronously with the expansion of the creeper.

Only one day later, the "Centipede Forest" fell into the arms of the Zerg. There were a total of seven giant centipedes, three were killed, and four were infected to become the master's subordinates.

at the same time.

The development of the split pool is also finally complete.

A huge pool of green slime made of tentacles, carapaces, and various glands appeared not far from the hatchery.

After ordering the hatchery to start hatching springtails to the hatchery that had already vacated the hatching chamber, Juggernaut squatted by the water of the split pool, reached out to pick up a ball of slightly glowing mucus, and squeezed it.

It's soft and sticky, it feels a bit like snot, and it smells like a fragrance—but the master can't believe his nose that has been transformed by the swarm, God knows what it smells like to a normal person.

Fortunately, I don't need to soak this thing.

Inspired the psionic energy, pulled all the mucus in the hand into the air, put it back into the split pool, and the master turned his head to look at Longshi and Agatha behind him.

"Go on, come out earlier, and you can help me earlier."

"Follow your instructions." Agatha responded.Controlling the dragon and lion, a fierce child jumped into the split pool.

The moment he entered the pool, the tentacles at the bottom of the pool were connected to all parts of Longshi's body, and the split pool's brain was connected to Longshi's nervous system, causing him to fall into a deep sleep.

Then, part of the body tissue of the two men began to dissolve and separate.

The ruler grabbed the two larvae that had been prepared long ago from his feet and threw them down.

One of the larvae will be embedded in Agatha's body, complementing Agatha's nerve cord and lower torso in the form of a chimera.

The other larva will return to the most primitive form of the zerg, drill into the spinal cord of the dragon and lion, and carry out a comprehensive transformation of the dragon and lion starting from the nervous system.

At the same time, the genes of the dragon and lion will be thoroughly analyzed and uploaded. After passing the test of the evolution cavity, they will be completely added to the swarm genes.

Juggernaut also intends to take the opportunity to completely transform the dragon and lion into a Zerg unit...
