Overlords now have a larger abdominal pouch space and a thicker sealed carapace, allowing them to carry more Zerg units and defend against more ferocious attacks.
In addition, the central nervous system of the king worm has also become more developed. They are now able to receive commands conveyed in the main hive mind at further distances, and can use themselves as a receiving relay station for the main hive mind.
The biggest change of the king insect comes from its internal adaptive organs. This set of organs that can be dissolved and regenerated at will was originally used by the king insect to produce temporary bacteria blankets.
Now, the "golden gene" has added a new feature to this set of organs.
This characteristic called "eutrophic biomass" makes the substances produced by the dissolution of the king worm's internal organs have a higher nutritional value.
The King Insect can inject this substance directly into the bodies of the insect swarm's biological battleships through the soft tentacles that grow on both sides of its head, helping them to quickly heal the damage suffered during the battle, and can further strengthen the injected nutrients.
The tissue regeneration ability of the organism's biological ship and eliminate some undesirable negative effects.
The current King Insect is like an aerial insect mother, able to provide better logistical support for the Insect Swarm Fleet. With them as a backing, the Insect Swarm Fleet's combat endurance will become stronger.
In addition to the king insect itself, its two variants, the surveillance king insect and the node king insect, have also been strengthened by the "golden gene".
The Supervisory King Insect's surveillance vision, psychic monitoring and biological perception have all made great progress in the process of evolution. It is also affected by the characteristics of "inorganic organisms", its own defense capabilities and the ability to survive in the void and atmospheric environment of the universe.
The flight speed has been increased.
But the most important change for the Supervisor King is that its body now has a complete set of incubation organs for a new derivative called the "Deep Space Explorer".
"Deep Space Explorer" is the only derivative among all insect swarm creature derivatives that can inherit the two characteristics of "Inorganic Creature" and "Void Drain".
They have no combat effectiveness and can exist independently from the main hive mind, but they will not escape the control of the insect swarm.
This small creature looks like an earthworm with dozens of blowholes on its back and a big-eyed head. It is only as long as an adult's index finger, but its flying speed is close to the speed of light!
Its eye-shaped head has many detection functions and can store detected data and images.
When they complete their mission and begin to return, once they come into contact with the main hive mind network, these pictures and data will be quickly transmitted to the main hive mind.
Deep space explorers are very good space explorers. Although their bodies are small, they can resist many kinds of cosmic dangers.
Moreover, their small bodies and almost no psychic energy fluctuations also prevent them from being noticed by those cosmic predators, which allows them to travel very safely through major star regions and galaxies, collecting various aspects of information for the insect swarm.
.
Each Supervisor King can hatch five Deep Space Explorers, and each Deep Space Explorer maintains contact with the Supervisor King that hatched them in some strange way.
Once a deep space explorer dies, the Overwatch King Insect that hatched it will immediately sense it and quickly learn its last location.
The emergence of this new derivative has created an extremely good prerequisite for the insect swarm to explore this universe and even explore other universes in the future. At the same time, they can also serve as excellent enemy scouts to detect enemy situations in dangerous places.
The Supervisory King Insect has now begun to evolve in the direction of the "Universal Satellite", while the other variant of the Overlord Insect, the "Node King Insect", has been strengthened during the evolution of the main nest, but it seems a bit strange.
The Node King itself is a new type of creature. It has a very wide information monitoring range and a main nest mind amplification function. As an important part of the information warfare tactics of the insect swarm, the Node King has the ability to steal and decipher the enemy's confidential information and
Its ability to block communications in an area in a short period of time is very important for the swarm's strategy of overpowering enemy aircraft.
In this main nest upgrade, the Node King Insect has naturally been strengthened by "Void Absorption" and "Inorganic Creatures", but the new characteristics brought to it by "Inorganic Creatures" are quite wonderful.
This new feature is called "Ghost Beacon".
This feature allows the node king insect to intercept and decipher the enemy's secret message, and then use the same secret message language to create a false beacon location through the exact same transmission channel.
The location of this beacon can be chosen at any location, and all enemies who use this secret message language and information transmission channel can receive the location information of this beacon...
To put it simply, it is similar to transmitting false information to the enemy, but the content of the false information is limited to a cosmic beacon with an optional location...
This is a bit intriguing... Is this a spy war or something?
In fact, if you think about it carefully, this new ability of the Node King Insect is very exploitable. It can not only disrupt the enemy's intelligence network, but also create a false target location for the enemy.
If the insect swarm ambush near the target location first...
Of course, this is just the simplest one that anyone can think of. There are many other tactics that can be developed around this new ability. I believe that the insect mother of the swarm will be able to put this skill to use soon.
....
In any case, the introduction to the evolution of the king insect and its two mutated insect swarm creatures ends here. Next, Abathur began to formally introduce to Xue Hua the main battle units in the insect swarm in this main nest.
Changes in the upgrade.
The first unit mentioned is the most basic and most numerous biological springtail in swarm ground warfare.
As the most basic combat unit in the insect swarm, springtails have always played an important role in the insect swarm.
It is cheap, small and fierce, fast and tenacious, and can easily form large swarms. In addition, springtails can mutate into poisonous banelings with super destructive power. When attacking solid defenses, the sudden mutation of springtails often disables opponents.
Was caught off guard.
In this main nest upgrade, the springtails edited into the "golden gene" have two extremely aggressive new characteristics.
The first new characteristic of springtails comes from the enhancement of "inorganic organisms", and the name of this characteristic is "powerful teeth".
This new feature allows Zerglings to bite through energy armor faster in combat, and also allows their bites to now cause massive damage to creatures made of pure energy.
The "Energy Defeating Teeth" characteristic gives the springtails the powerful ability to hunt pure energy creatures and defeat energy shields. This ability will definitely enable the springtails to bring unexpected and ferocious blows to the enemy on the battlefield in the future.
In addition to the "Destroying Fangs", the second new feature acquired by the springtails will make them more ferocious, violent and unstoppable on the battlefield. This new feature will completely change the cannon fodder of the springtails in large battles.
Destiny forces the enemy to pay more attention to these wild and fierce creatures.
