The evolution of insect swarms from XNUMX million years ago

Chapter 307 Space Egg Clamp
Gondwana.

The surface of the originally yellow-brown desolate planet has been completely covered by deep purple-black carpet tissue. Pipes large and small, like blood vessels, are squirming slightly. A large amount of semi-liquid nutrients are flowing continuously in them, and merge into the seats on the planet's equator. The space elevator of the Tower of Babel, and then pumped into space.

Underground, rhizomes with special structures are drilling into the rock formations of Gondwana's crust, decomposing and absorbing various special mineral components in the rock formations, extracting them into microscopic ions at the cellular level, and then using special cell tissues as carriers , mixed with liquid nutrients and flowed into space, ready to be integrated into the exoskeleton of the star.

Due to such a large grade as Xinghao, its exoskeleton is cast bit by bit in a manner similar to pupation. Its material proportions can be controlled with astonishing accuracy. Different material mixing proportions are used in different parts and even different depths to achieve the best results. material properties.

The top of the space elevator was originally ten huge dock-shaped pupal sacs that could be reused, but at this time, the situation changed. The structure of these pupal sacs has changed slightly, no longer surrounding the main body, but concentrated at the top of the main body.

After being concentrated, its structure is like a huge cockroach egg clamp, with ten huge pupal sacs that can pupate into stars, arranged vertically, and the same astonishingly huge imaginal disk-like structure inside is staggered and extends to both ends.

The end of the huge "egg clamp" is half-buried in the groove at the top of the space station. There is a series of electromagnetic ejection devices in the groove. At this time, this series of devices is slowly operating in cooperation with the fusion reactor and the electric plate column organ. Give the huge "egg clamp" a muzzle velocity sufficient to leave the space station.

The shell of the "Egg Clamp" is wrapped in a carpet structure equipped with a hybrid autotrophic synthesis system, and a small number of electric rocket engines are used just in case. At this time, there are already many such huge egg clamps in Gondwana. The centrifugal force brought by the rotation and the electromagnetic ejection work together to be thrown out, like eggs laid by the planet.

The original pupation process was based on the former pupal sac mother nests and later shipyards, and mainly used reused pupal sacs to produce high-quality products. However, in this way, the number of pupal sacs that could pupate at the same time was limited, which restricted the use of resources. The speed of rapid conversion into military strength.

Although it is an astonishing crushing force compared to ordinary civilizations of the same level, it is still not enough for the current situation. Lin Yi needs more fleets, whether to complete his purpose or just to protect himself, or to protect everything he cares about.

Such an egg-clamp-like structure came into being - simply produce an outer shell, inject a large amount of concentrated nutrients inside, and then eject it into space to complete the final pupation process.

Unlike shipyards with complex mechanical and technical systems, the structure of the pupal sac can be quite simple. The outer shell of this huge egg folder only needs a simple layer of space carpet, and several equally simple electric plate column organs and electric rocket engines will not Consumes too many resources and can be produced quickly.

After the main body of the star below completes pupation, the shell and carpet structure of the egg folder will dissolve itself and be easily recycled. In this way, the pupation of the first batch of stars has not yet been completed, and the pupation of the second batch can begin, which greatly increases the efficiency.

However, in environments such as Laurentia and the asteroid belt in other star systems, the construction of space elevators does not meet the conditions. The traditional electromagnetic acceleration orbit is still the main means of transporting nutrients.

On the surface of the solid planets occupied by nests, the proliferating fungi and various transportation structures are operating at full strength, as if they are devouring the planet and using its materials as nutrients for proliferation. On some other planets, more Changes are also continuing. Such changes were just the beginning. After controlling the escort star to ram into the enemy ship, Lin Yi seemed to have an epiphany and began to study some tactics or development methods that could maximize the advantages of the hive's existence. In this regard, the original Ezki civilization Exploring the remnants of the fleet is less useful.

Only Lin Yi himself and the resurrected Anomalocaris nest can handle the relevant tasks. After a period of supplementing basic knowledge, the Anomalocaris nest group indeed had the relevant conditions to conduct experiments with Lin Yi.

On the surface of Dikla, a biological space elevator adapted to the environment of a living planet has been completed. Its main part is a structure directly controlled by Lin Yi, but the huge graptolite-shaped space station at the end is connected to an equally huge structure.

That is the space mother nest belonging to the Anomalocaris nest group. At this time, this huge structure that is somewhat similar to Lin Yi's space mother nest is connected to the main body of the space elevator space station below through a special structure like some special parasitic or symbiotic organisms.

A class individual that looks like the transitional version of the space creature used by Lin Yi before sprays blazing plasma flames and sails nearby. Although its genetic sequence is basically the same as that of the previous space creature, it is the descendant of the Anomalocaris nest. The grade individual it belongs to!

For the first experiment, under Lin Yi's suggestion, the other party did not adopt an overly complicated plan, but only produced a most basic first version of the space creature to experience the space environment firsthand in order to proceed to the next step, which is the real space creature. Space-grade design and pupation.

Even some flaws in the design layout of space creatures have been deliberately retained by Lin Yi to allow the other party to have a deeper experience, summarize experience, and truly design a space grade. In this process, Lin Yi will only provide hardware support. The design is entirely done by the Anomalocaris nest itself.

Nothing can be accomplished overnight, imitation must be the first step. In terms of equipment imitation, there are many examples in later generations of people who are better than their masters. They even happened in Lin Yi's motherland in his previous life.

At this time, some technical exchanges have begun. On the surface of Dikla, the shadow flies and the land-walking anomalocaridids are still gathered in front of a special screen structure, communicating through the Chinese that the other party speaks already quite fluently.

Some structural details were shown on the screen structure, and were quickly improved during the communication. The relevant gene sequences were simultaneously introduced into Lin Yi's consciousness. With the support of a small amount of hard technical support in the general direction, an Anomalocaris nest version of the space grade Gradually it takes shape in the design.

As for some details of the structure, it is also obvious that the other party's design is more radical than Lin Yi's pursuit of stability and conservativeness, and uses more unscrupulous technologies to achieve maximum performance, just like Zeng Jian. In pursuit of ultimate speed and attack power, the fish-shaped Hurd shrimp even partially sacrifices its sensory capabilities.

Perhaps there is an optimal balance between conservatism and radicalism, and now, the role of the Anomalocaris nest group has begun to appear.
