"She didn't seem to have given any substantive command, but why did those worker bees and soldier bees expand on their own?"
"Uh... maybe it's the instinct of the insect swarm?"
"It's just instinct. It's not like we haven't seen the bases built by those bugs before. They are all so ugly."
"Yeah, unlike this 'Queen of Blades', she seems to have consciously made the base more beautiful."
"Are our combat units ready?"
"It's not necessary. She seems to be able to communicate and has a good attitude."
"What if it [loses control]? We have encountered that kind of thing often."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"Idiot, it's a good thing that the enemy is out of control. Now these bugs are friendly forces."
In the observation room directly above the containment room, Green Light executives and some researchers were commenting on the behavior of my development base.
I actually wanted them to comment on the appearance that I spent a long time creating, but thinking about it carefully, because this face is more similar to the "Purple Light Queen", probably no green light would dare to comment casually.
As for building a base...even if you are slow to react and cannot defeat the opponents you encounter on the ladder, you can learn how to place simple buildings just by watching a few battles between masters.
It's not difficult to block openings, leave gaps, protect key buildings, and deal with poachers.
However, the containment room I'm currently in doesn't have all those fancy things to consider. I just need to build a few hatcheries and troop buildings, and create a certain number of insect swarm troops. That's it.
When performing these operations, there is no interface to display resource reserves, expected placement of buildings, and progress bars for production and incubation, etc.
Of course, I can still do it if I want to, but there is no need, because I "know" all these things. Even if I deliberately do not use my authority and only rely on the Queen of Blades' own abilities, the relevant details are still clear.
The only problem is that it is too clear. The hatched bugs clearly know which leg they are flicking and which claw they are sharpening, including the unlucky one who is possessed by the stupid system.
"Hiss! [That makes no sense, why don't you get stuck in the fungus carpet?]" The stupid system was trudging through the fungus carpet that was about two decimeters thick.
'Because my heels are long enough,' I raised my foot slightly to let the stupid system see the freely retractable heels on the soles of my feet: 'But you, as a springtail, will be restricted by the carpet, which is simply a shame for the zerg.'
"Jie Jie Jie! [Are you qualified to say that to me? It would be weird for the Queen of Blades to fall into the creeping carpet if she doesn't evolve long heels.]"
‘I’m actually quite surprised by this question. If you think about it carefully? Maybe it’s because you don’t like this from the bottom of your heart?’
Creep is a liquid mixed with biomass and earth and stone. It can basically be regarded as an auxiliary unit that does not occupy the population. It can replenish nutrients for the insects and buildings parked on it. It slowly restores health and speeds up movement.
.
But... this thing can not only devour ordinary animals and plants? It can also supplement nutrition for zerg... It's a bit shuddering without thinking about it carefully.
[Like the domineering power of the Queen of Blades and the ferocious ferocity of ordinary bugs? But you think the carpet is disgusting. Ye Gong loves dragons, and you are talking about you, right?] The stupid system said as it sneaked up next to me? It seemed that it was planning to shake its hair like a dog.
‘Don’t even think about throwing the creep blanket at me!’ I kicked it away.
This move naturally caused a discussion in the observation room.
"Speaking of which? Does the 'Queen of Blades' like 'Broken Tooth'? She keeps it with her all the time? But she punches and kicks her from time to time."
"Who knows... maybe that's a hobby that all queens share?"
"Brother? Tell your story."

Bang! An insect chrysalis burst open, and a wrinkled and ugly "balloon" floated out of it.
The "balloon" quickly inflated and lifted into the air, then hung down strips of tentacles, and successfully evolved into a "king insect".
At the same time that the king insect appeared, everything within its field of vision was directly passed over, and the hatchery larvae that had temporarily lost contact due to the hatching of too many worker bees also reestablished contact and could evolve them into other forms.
Hmm...is this what increasing the "population" is all about?
Because the worker bees and springtails were directly controlled before? I thought that because of special circumstances, the concept of "population" was canceled? But when the hatchery was built, I found that it was just temporarily ignored, which is roughly equivalent to 10/0.
value, and after the hatchery is built, it becomes 10/10. If Green Light moves another batch of captured bugs, can I still collect them? It may become 20/10, but until the denominator is greater than the numerator, it will not be possible.
Hatching larvae.
If you think about it carefully, this is actually very reasonable. As the Queen of Blades, she can directly control the mind of the zerg, so snatching the units of other zerg is a basic operation, but the larvae do not have minds. If the number of units that can be controlled at the same time exceeds the number, it cannot
Give them hatching orders.
In this case, the "out of control" mentioned by a Green Light researcher before can be understood.
Apparently, they killed some overlords during a certain attack, causing the "total population" of enemy zerg to exceed the "controllable population".
Since they did not have a "Queen of Blades" who could suppress the situation, the "excess" bugs instantly lost control and relied on instinct to run and bite. The Star Sea Community called their behavior based on the observation results
"out of control".
If nothing else, a lot of tactics surrounding "loss of control" must have been developed.
However, if you want to use this tactic against me, you will only shoot yourself in the foot. The Queen of Blades' level 12 psychic power can obviously control the swarm of insects without going through the Overlord Insect.
Hmm... Speaking of which, how many soldiers does the King of Green Light want me to build?
I turned my head and glanced at the large group of springtails and a few hydralisks. With this number, it would not be difficult to demolish the entire base, but because this is a space station, if it is leaked, the insects themselves will be destroyed.
Can't survive.
"[Very good, Queen of Blades, we have seen your expansion ability,]" At this time, the loudspeaker in the containment room rang, and the King of Green Light's voice came from inside: "[Now the final test begins.
, our guards and defensive turrets have been deployed, please break through the defense line all the way to our location.]"
"[Oh?]" I looked up at the place where the sound came from: "[Do you know what you are asking me to do? Your subordinates may die meaninglessly.]"
"[Well, although they won't show mercy, please try not to kill them.]" The King of Green Light seemed a little embarrassed.
Such a standard double standard... However, there is no difficulty at all.
