After having these Zerg anatomy results, Fang Xiaoyue began to develop the brain worm mental imitation device relatively smoothly.
He didn't even need engineers to cooperate. After applying for some electronic equipment, parts, etc., he got busy.
Finally, a helmet-shaped brainworm mental imitation device was developed.
Needless to say, the principle is to transplant the bulges formed by brain-like proteins onto the electrodes of the helmet, and through the stimulation of tiny currents, the brain-like protein bumps will produce mental fluctuations.
Of course, it is normal for such a hybrid product of biological components and electronic equipment to fail the first time.
After scrapping more than a dozen helmets, Fang Xiaoyue finally successfully developed a helmet.
Compared with the previous direct use of brain worm protein bulges to stimulate mental fluctuations, the biological tissue used by this helmet to stimulate mental fluctuations is the brain tissue bulges of mantis worms.
There is no doubt that the advantage here is that mantis worms are cheap and easy to obtain, but it is extremely difficult to catch one of the brain worms.
The only trouble is that each helmet requires ten mantises as raw materials.
Moreover, the effectiveness of helmets made with mantis-like brain protein protrusions is much worse than those made with brainworms.
However, even so, ten mantises are much easier to catch than one mantis.
Even a fool can see the value for money.
After the prototype of the helmet was produced, Fang Xiaoyue then applied for actual combat testing of the helmet.
After all, whether this thing is useful and how useful it is can only be tested in actual combat.
In the vast space, a shuttle is flying towards Planet No. 3.
This shuttle was carrying thirty soldiers and Fang Xiaoyue.
Due to previous defeats and the impact of red dwarf star projections and other factors, the Third Exploration Fleet has tried its best to evacuate the soldiers on the planet's surface.
Therefore, this actual combat test can only be carried out by sending people from the fleet to the surface of the planet.
As the project lead researcher, Fang Xiaoyue must also go to the front line to preside over actual tests in accordance with relevant regulations.
After all, the situation of hiding in a laboratory and having nothing to do with the frontline battlefield will not happen in the fleet.
If you want to develop weapons and equipment that are truly suitable for actual combat, it is also necessary for researchers to directly go to the front line to observe the research results.
Compared with the landing ship's massive landing, the shuttle did not attract much attention from the Zerg at all after it penetrated the atmosphere.
Perhaps it was because the Zerg suffered too much loss in the previous collision with the red dwarf star projection. When the shuttle landed on the ground, not a single flying dragon insect appeared.
After the shuttle dropped the soldiers, Fang Xiaoyue and supplies on the ground, it quickly took off and left.
The shuttle will land again according to the signal after the entire actual combat test is completed.
"The communications unit will contact the fleet and explore the distribution of the Zerg around."
As the host of this actual combat test, Fang Xiaoyue has great power. Even if he is surrounded by a swarm of insects, as long as he does not send a retreat signal, the shuttle will not appear.
Following Fang Xiaoyue's order, the communications troops began to contact the fleet, and Fang Xiaoyue immediately put on a mental helmet.
To put it simply, this mental helmet is larger than the bulletproof helmet, and the overall shape is an upright oval. After wearing this helmet, the whole person looks a little silly.
So after putting on the helmet, everyone looked at Fang Xiaoyue and laughed involuntarily.
The atmosphere was very happy, and Fang Xiaoyue did not allow everyone to laugh with a straight face like those officers.
However, he was thinking that the future mental power helmet should be made more beautiful. After all, if the shape is too ugly, it will not look good on him.
Soon the communications team received the feedback information sent back by the fleet and began to report to Fang Xiaoyue.
The nearest insect swarm is about ten kilometers away and contains more than a thousand mantises and snake-breathing insects.
Of course, Fang Xiaoyue would not provoke a swarm of insects like this.
He chose a group of insects that was more than 20 kilometers away from them. There were more than ten insects in this group. They should be a reconnaissance team sent by the insect nest. All of them were mantises.
While keeping a distance, thirty soldiers plus Fang Xiaoyue had enough time to kill them.
After determining the target, the soldiers carried their supply bags, grabbed their Gauss rifles, and marched in the direction of the target.
Fang Xiaoyue followed behind, constantly using the helmet to trigger mental waves and test the distance of their propagation in the air.
This is also a helpless thing.
Testing this thing on a battleship and testing it in the atmosphere are completely different concepts.
There are metal structures everywhere in the battleship. Sometimes the mental fluctuations can be transmitted far away, but sometimes they cannot even be transmitted to the room.
But in the atmosphere, the situation is different. The mental fluctuations are obviously much more stable, and the distance is several times longer.
From this point of view, Fang Xiaoyue guessed that this kind of mental fluctuation should belong to some kind of special wave.
Well, electromagnetic waves were ruled out in previous experiments.
After all, compared to other types of waves, electromagnetic waves are the waves that are easiest for humans to detect.
As for what exactly this mental wave is, Fang Xiaoyue is temporarily unable to determine it because human experimental equipment cannot capture it.
The waves that human experimental equipment cannot currently capture include neutrino waves, quark waves, etc. There are also many waves that have not even been guessed in physics.
The area Fang Xiaoyue and others were traveling in was a semi-desert area, where sandy soil was mixed and arid, and only a few desert plants existed.
But even so, the soldiers were very vigilant. After all, as they got closer and closer to the insects, it was difficult to say that they would not encounter some individual insects wandering outside the insect nest.
Along the way, everyone was very dry and thirsty.
Fang Xiaoyue looked at the satellite image and found that the distance to the insect was less than five kilometers.
Considering that the helmet might not be able to function, he decided to let everyone take a rest first and drink water and eat to replenish themselves.
But just when he was about to give the order, the mental fluctuations emanating from the helmet suddenly gave back a little bit.
He subconsciously raised his hand to stop the soldiers' advance, and began to increase the mental fluctuations of his helmet to touch and identify the feedback.
Because this little feedback is likely to be a lurking bug, or a group of lurking bugs!
Satellites in space, no matter how high the resolution, can only see the insect swarms on the surface. Once the insects burrow into the ground, the satellite will be helpless and blind.
After all, humans have not yet developed higher-tech detection technologies. For example, the legendary neutrinos have not been discovered, so how can we use such pervasive neutrinos to build detection equipment.
