Chapter 255 Imagination of Self-destructing Poisonous Mosquitoes
Turning off the psychic communicator, Xue Hua lowered his head and thought about the conversation he had just had with Keles.
The protoss have begun to face up to their own shortcomings, and they will soon be able to obtain the sapphire star water that is very valuable to their race.
Xue Hua has no doubt about this, because when the second fleet returns from countering the rebellion in two months, the powerful Leviathan will lead the insect fleet and the protoss' new fleet to attack the Sapphire Planet.
If the murlocs of Sapphire Star happened to reach the nemesis side of the protoss on the technology tree, then the biotechnology of the swarm would not be so friendly to them.
Abathur had just used his hive mind to watch with Xue Hua the video of the battle between the Murlocs and the Protoss fleet on the Sapphire Planet, and it strongly recommended that Xue Hua agree to the Protoss' military cooperation agreement.
Because the several war technologies displayed by the murlocs have given it inspiration for the evolution of new Zerg units, it urgently needs samples of these war technologies, especially large amounts of genetic samples from sea bats, to complete its "creation".
Abathur told Xue Hua that those sea bats reminded him of a unit self-destructing poisonous mosquito that had been removed from the swarm's hatching gene pool because of its stability and longevity!
The self-exploding poisonous mosquito is the "suicide moth" in the StarCraft game. Its English name is "scourge", which originally means "the source of disaster".
It was small in size, fast in flight, cheap in cost, and like the springtails, you could buy one and get one free. The most important thing was that this thing was cheap but powerful. It was the most powerful flying unit of all races in the game at that time.
Horrible biological weapons.
The destructive power of the self-exploding venomous mosquito does not come from its fangs and claws. On the contrary, this creature actually does not have sharp claws at all.
Their attack method is very simple, that is, when they see enemy flying units, they pounce upward in groups, and when they pounce in front of them, they directly bump into them.
There is a swelling acid chain reaction enzyme in their bodies. Once this reaction enzyme is activated, the entire reaction process becomes irreversible.
This reaction enzyme will turn all the tissue structures in the self-detonating poisonous mosquito into a high-explosive acidic substance. The moment the self-detonating poisonous mosquito hits the target, these high-explosive acidic substances will erupt in all directions.
The strength of this acidic substance is high enough to instantly erode through the armored steel plates of human Gorgon-class battleships, and easily open a huge hole in the battleship's body.
A large number of self-destructing poisonous mosquitoes swarm towards their ships. This is one of the terrible nightmares that all human captains who have fought against the insect swarms have had. This nightmare can almost instantly make people scream in agony.
Woke up in a cold sweat.
Even in the game, the self-destructing poisonous mosquitoes of the Zerg are very ferocious existences. They can often take advantage of people's unpreparedness and accomplish some small and huge feats.
In reality, this creature is the nightmare of almost all human and protoss ship commanders.
They are so small that they are almost invisible to shipboard radars, and their destructive power is comparable to that of an astonishingly powerful neutron cluster cannon. And unlike cluster cannons, they can sneak into the ship to find the most suitable and most suitable one.
A vulnerable position to exert one's amazing power.
Even if there are protoss ships protected by psychic shields, their shields cannot withstand a few hits from self-destructing poisonous mosquitoes...
However, in reality, this creature is far from as stable and useful as it is in the game.
The chain reaction enzyme system in their bodies is very unstable, and if it goes wrong, it will be triggered by mistake and lead to meaningless self-destruction.
In addition, the lifespan of self-destructing poisonous mosquitoes is also very short. They are the only hatchling organisms in the insect swarm that can only survive for one month in a carpet environment.
But none of this is a problem. Even if the self-exploding poisonous mosquito has such shortcomings, its advantages are still obvious.
The low price makes up for the shortcomings of short lifespan, and the huge power makes up for the shortcomings of unstable biological system.
It wasn't until after the Brood War that the pilots and captains of the protoss and humans finally had enough of the self-destructing poisonous mosquitoes that made them fearful all day long, and they all installed countless induction sensors on their ships.
Radar and miniature automatic close-in gun systems.
This entire defense system exposed another flaw of the self-destructing venomous mosquito, which eventually led to it being completely refrigerated. It was too fragile.
How fragile is the body of the self-exploding poisonous mosquito?
Let's put it this way, in addition to being equipped with a "C-14 Stinger" electromagnetic rifle, human marines are also equipped with a pistol powered by relatively primitive gunpowder.
However, this thing is only the last self-defense weapon after the rifle ammunition is exhausted. Many Marines even jokingly call it a "suicide gun."
Because the power of primitive gunpowder-powered bullets cannot penetrate any enemy armor on the interstellar battlefield, except for the self-exploding poisonous mosquitoes...
In human battlefield records, there is a record of a Marine successfully shooting down a self-detonating poisonous mosquito with a spare pistol. Although the unlucky guy was accidentally killed by the falling self-detonating poisonous mosquito because he was too excited, this is not the case.
This proves from the side how fragile the self-defense of self-destructing poisonous mosquitoes is.
Those miniature automatic close-in defense cannons that are generally difficult to penetrate even the exoskeleton armor of springtails completely become the scythe of death in front of them.
Therefore, when the large ships of humans and protoss began to arm themselves like hedgehogs with various small weapons, life became difficult for the self-destructing poisonous mosquitoes.
The commanders of the swarm found that they were now quite powerless when facing valuable large and medium-sized targets, and the self-destructing poisonous mosquitoes on small targets may not be able to catch up.
And once the self-destructing poisonous mosquitoes are discovered, the enemy's ground troops and ship-based troops can easily use firepower suppression tactics to eliminate them in groups.
Therefore, since the Brood War, self-destructing poisonous mosquitoes have gradually become history, and were eventually swept into the corner of history by the Queen of Blades Kerrigan...
Now, Abathur suddenly brought up the old story again. It told Xue Hua that it had seen improved self-destructing poisonous mosquitoes from those "sea bats" of Sapphire Star, and gave them a new life, becoming the commander of the enemy fleet again.
Nightmare hope.
Its only request is that it hopes that Xue Hua will carry out military cooperation with the protoss as soon as possible, and bring back all the biological genes and various technological samples on the Sapphire Planet, and even give up the seawater resources on the Sapphire Planet.
!
This was the first time that Xue Hua saw Abathur being so obsessed with the genes of a creature, so he was very curious and asked him which part of the genetic characteristics of those sea bats could provide new opportunities for self-destructing poisonous mosquitoes.
Abaser told it that if it could isolate their "energy-devouring" genes from sea bats, it could find a way to add a set of stressors to self-destructing poisonous mosquitoes without significantly increasing hatching resources.
