Three months after the "Fisherman Project" was successfully completed, Stukov returned triumphantly with the first fleet loaded with various resources, returning to the second resource star of the swarm.
The First Fleet brought back various materials obtained from the first stage of mining as spoils of war, and Xue Hua handed over the mining and transportation of the remaining material resources to Jiagong for processing.
At this time, Abathur's preparations for the upcoming main nest upgrade are officially coming to an end. In addition, the Golden Insect Swarm Project has also successfully broken down technical barriers due to the injection of a large amount of gold resources.
According to Abathur's experimental log, after several experimental insect nests in the mysterious sand dune area of the Sanctuary world were injected with a World Stone solution mixed with gold, the degree of genetic fusion between the organic matter inside the insect nests and the protoss metal material has reached
A good balance point has been reached.
Abathur has recorded thousands of sets of balance point data, and is selecting the most suitable set from these balance point data, preparing to use this data as a benchmark for genetic interference and splicing.
Once the balance point data for genetic interference is finally confirmed, the Golden Swarm Project will immediately break away from its previous slow progress and enter the final stage of genetic adjustment.
At that time, the original genes born from this plan will become perfectly coordinated with the basic genes of the Zerg, and they will be able to be completely integrated together to form a new powerful biological gene.
Of course, these explanations are Abathur's original words. To be honest, Xue Hua didn't understand a word...
Therefore, he asked Abathur to re-explain it in human terms, and this explanation was much simpler.
Abathur's "Book of Heaven" translated means, 1. The Golden Swarm Project is finally completed after such a long period of research and development.
As long as Abathur selects the most suitable set of data from thousands of sets, the Golden Insect Swarm Project can quickly enter the finalization and practical application stage.
Second, Abathur plans to completely transplant the "golden gene" into the original genetic sequence of the insect swarm, allowing the entire insect swarm to directly "golden insect swarm", instead of creating a new one like what they originally planned to do.
A new derived group like the Protoss "Purifiers".
Third, after the entire insect swarm receives the "golden gene", the abilities and various attributes of all insect swarm units will be changed and enhanced. This enhancement is still at an unknown stage, but in short, it is definitely a very powerful enhancement.
Xue Hua had no objection to Abathur's idea. After all, the original idea of the "Golden Insect Swarm" project was actually a very simple idea.
This idea is to let the insect swarm units wear combat equipment and armor made by the protoss to enhance the combat effectiveness of the insect swarm.
At that time, Xue Hua was very irresponsible and threw this strange idea directly to Abathur and Keles for them to toss around, hoping to see if they could create a new evolutionary path for the insect swarm.
After this stumbling research and experimentation, Xue Hua gradually realized that his idea had some problems in its thinking.
The evolution of the insect swarm has always relied on the genes of the organisms themselves rather than manufactured equipment and weapons. If this is changed rashly, not only will many problems not be solved, but the combat effectiveness of the insect swarm may also be reduced.
Therefore, he no longer adheres to his original ideas, and even once had the idea of stopping the "Golden Insect Swarm" project.
But later, with the unexpected appearance of the "World Stone Solution" and Keles's idea of transforming inorganic substances into effective gene segments that can be tailored and edited into biological gene sequences through this solution, the "Golden Insect Swarm" project
was retained and began to be studied again in another way.
Later, Keles's idea encountered obstacles. Although the "World Stone Solution" successfully put his original idea into practice, he and Abathur soon discovered that those insects edited into the inorganic gene segment chain
As a group of organisms, their genetic changes are simply uncontrollable.
The gene segment chains of inorganic substances are still too different from the genes of normal organisms, and the amplification effect of the World Stone solution on the gene segment chains of inorganic substances also causes the normal genes of organisms to be suppressed by the gene segment chains of inorganic substances, which results in
Wild insect nests that have undergone gene editing show an extremely abnormal growth and evolution model.
There is only one way to solve this problem, and that is Youjin.
After obtaining enough gold, Abathur began to put into practice his already planned research and experimental plans, which was to directly inject the improved "golden gene" into the basic genes of the insect swarm.
In this way, they no longer need to create another brand new branch group, and the entire insect swarm will fully evolve into a "golden insect swarm"!
This is undoubtedly a very wonderful future, and Xue Hua certainly has no objection to it.
However, in order to realize this beautiful vision, Abathur still has a lot of work to do, especially now that he is the only researcher left in the Mysterious Dune Laboratory.
Kyles asked for leave from Xue Hua and Harlans a month ago, and began to devote himself to taking care of his partner who was soaking in the energy water taken from the sapphire planet.
The effect of the energy water on the protoss is indeed similar to what the phase technicians expected. The protoss soaked in this solution can quickly recover the lost spiritual energy.
This effect is simply life-saving gospel for the female protoss who is pregnant with new life. After having a sufficient supply of psychic energy, the psychic crystal cluster tree on Harens' partner's head also began to grow rapidly and showed signs of
A sign that it is about to take shape.
Faced with this situation, Keles obviously couldn't calm down and do any research, so Harens and Xue Hua simply granted him leave and asked him to go back and spend time with his partner who was about to "give birth".
Hmm... To be honest, Xue Hua is also very interested in the topic of how protoss women give birth to children, but he is a big man and is not a gynecologist, so it is not easy for him to spy on others giving birth...
...
Therefore, after "weighing the pros and cons", Xue Hua could only regretfully put down his curiosity...
Ahem, that's too far off topic...
All in all, Abathur told Xue Hua that it hopes to get more time to conduct "research on the golden insect swarm project" to break through the final stage, and if Xue Hua agrees, it hopes to use the "golden gene" directly
In this main nest upgrade, all problems will be solved at once, allowing the insect swarm to move directly to a new level after this upgrade.
Regarding Abathur's request, Xue Hua chose to agree after thinking about it for a while.
After all, the next target of the swarm's plan will be the Eternal Battlefield, and they need to be strengthened to the maximum before they can intervene in that huge and chaotic Colosseum.
With the current strength of the insect swarm, it is enough to intervene in the eternal battlefield and face the demons and angels. But if the Xel'Naga takes action, Xue Hua still cannot guarantee that he will be able to defeat it.
Therefore, they need the "Golden Swarm" plan and are willing to wait more for it.
However, what Xue Hua didn't expect was that the "more time" requested by Abathur would actually be so long...
