Queen Mother forgive me

Chapter 20 Great Expansion ([-])

"Suck the brain to read the memory? This is a useful DNA sequence...a huge biological brain? I don't know what it's useful for yet, let's get one for the main nest first."

While reading the gene sequence structure of the brain worm, Xuefeng was thinking about the use of these new abilities.

The main nest has been assisting her all the time, so I also want to give the main nest a smarter brain, so that it can help Xuefeng do more things.

Humans are still developing artificial intelligence to reduce the workload. The main hive itself has enough intelligence. Xuefeng doesn't know if the former empress would do this, but she has no reason to leave such a convenient unit unused.

So when Xuefeng upgraded the main nest with a brain, the research on new units finally became a semi-automatic mode.

As long as Xuefeng proposes a new topic, the main hive, which has all the technologies of humans and swarms, will start to develop an evolution plan. At most, if it encounters any difficulties halfway, Xuefeng, who is more active in thinking, will find a solution.

Moreover, the development of the swarm does not require Xuefeng's complete instructions. The main nest will automatically match the number and speed of hatching units according to the current needs. The main nest has completely become the second in command of the swarm, but it is happy for it.

Xuefeng, who was free, finally had time to study his own abilities.

These few battles made her discover many flaws in her own abilities, and she finally understood that although psionic energy is useful, it is not a panacea, and more ways to use it have yet to be developed.

But the first thing Xuefeng upgraded herself was not the new usage of psionic energy, but the installation of a tail for herself.

The fleshy tail sticks out from under the Xuefeng skirt, waving flexibly in the air like a whip.

This three-meter-long tail is actually a variant of the tentacles of the root system of the insect nest. The real focus is not on the tail, but the most important part of the tail is the tip.

The sharp tip that can pierce any metal, the hollow straw that can be opened, is modified by Xuefeng according to the ability of the brain worm, needless to say the function, the ability to suck the brain to read the memory, she has been coveted for a long time.

Whether it is to mix into the intelligent biota or obtain precious information, this is an indispensable means.

Xuefeng doesn't believe that there are only human beings in the vast universe, and this intelligent population, the cerebrum, is enough to prove that Xuefeng and her group are not alone in this universe.

This tail is usually hidden under the skirt armor, and only when it needs to be used, it will reveal its ferocious side, and it will also become a terrible killer in battle.

Imagine that when others think you only have hands and feet, a tail suddenly pops out from behind. I am afraid that most people will be tricked. The penetrating power of the tip of this tail is so terrifying, it is an absolute killer.

Of course, in addition to this terrifying tail, Xuefeng also wanted to add some weapons to herself, but it was a pity that Goy's way of growing arthropods would really deviate from her former human aesthetics and was rejected by her.

As for your saying that humans don't have tails either?
Who can see it hidden under the skirt armor?

With the useful ability of psionic energy, it is not too urgent to need a weapon at hand. What Xuefeng wants is something that can hit as far as Barrett and has enough destructive power.

Although psionic energy also has a long-range attack method, it is not as convenient as the hot weapons made by humans. Every time she uses psionic energy excessively, her head feels like it is about to explode, and she rolls in pain.

This is very fatal in battle, but Xuefeng can't think of how to improve it. After all, it is not a power that he has mastered step by step. It will take some time to understand.

Xuefeng didn't continue to study his own abilities, because the hatching king worm was about to be born!
Walking outside the main nest, I happened to see the scene where the king worm broke out of its shell. Although the way of breaking out of the shell is the same as that of ordinary units, the shape with a diameter of 200 meters is much more spectacular.

The nutrient solution splashed everywhere was like rain, covering the entire main nest's creep coverage. If it wasn't for Xuefeng standing at the door of the main nest, with the help of the main nest to block it, I'm afraid it would inevitably be covered with slippery slime.

The appearance of the newborn king worm is like an enlarged version of the host. The jellyfish in the carapace floats unsteadily into the sky, and finally hovers at an altitude of 1000 meters above the ground.

However, Xuefeng couldn't help frowning when he saw the scene where the king worm was flying.

"The lift-off speed is too slow, and it consumes too much energy. Is it really because of the irregular shell?"

The irregular shell may not affect the speed in a vacuum, but on Titan, which has an atmosphere, the resistance of the air makes the speed of the overlord worm lift off no matter what.

Xuefeng took the king worm around the orbit of Titan, tested the sailing speed and hovering, and found that the huge king worm was not as good as she imagined.

Like the host, the king worm still uses chemical energy. Just to assist the anti-gravity lift-off, it consumes a large amount of mixed liquid methane, which can reach 300 kilometers per second comparable to the solar wind, which is already propelled by chemical energy. The limit is reached.

From the human point of view, this speed is already very fast. After all, human beings have not been able to build an aircraft that exceeds the speed of the solar wind. Xuefeng thinks that this speed is still too slow.

At this speed, not to mention interstellar voyages, it would take at least half a year to get from Titan to Earth orbit. The three king worms traveled half a year for transportation, and the day lily was cold.

Perhaps in the future, the number of king worms will increase, and the transportation capacity will be improved, but Xuefeng thinks it is still too reluctant.

It is necessary to optimize performance, reduce energy consumption and increase speed. After thinking about it for five seconds, Xuefeng came to this conclusion, and the calculation of the main nest also has the best evolution plan.

"Changing the shape to elongate the worm body, the shuttle shape helps to climb the height in the atmosphere, and it is easier to control the direction in the universe."

After all, it is round and round, and it is not clear which side is the head, so the direction of advancement is not accurate, and floating around is a serious waste of resources. Xuefeng hates this.

"The king worm gave up the easy-to-replace multi-segment carapace, and used a streamlined fit to reduce air resistance."

Or many segmented carapaces are very suitable for the round jellyfish shape, but the shuttle-shaped overlord is more suitable to use stacked streamlined covering, which allows the overlord to fly in the atmosphere and reach the limit speed.

Those tentacles that were hanging down were completely abandoned by Xuefeng. Since there is a lower host, as transportation in the atmosphere, these tentacles seem to have no need to exist at all.

Therefore, the tail of the shuttle-shaped king worm has a flower-like structure, which is a new propulsion opening, which is more convenient to control the direction of flight.

"And then there's...the addition of a controllable fusion core, and a new propulsion method of plasma jets."

Plasma propulsion technology has long been a mature product on the earth, but controllable nuclear fusion is still in the laboratory stage.

Xuefeng once used his spirit to invade the network, hacked into the secret research institutes of various countries, and obtained all the controllable nuclear fusion technologies, all of which are now in the new brain of the main hive.

In fact, this human technology has already achieved preliminary results, and it is only one step away from allowing controllable nuclear fusion to leave the laboratory and enter the practical stage.

She estimates that if the earth is not destroyed, it will only take about 30 years... No, in just ten years, human beings will usher in a new era of space development. Unfortunately, all of this will become a big glass ball along with that beautiful planet.
