"Isa, let's start." Xue Hua said in the main nest mind.
"Understood, Overlord...First of all, this is a report from Commander Zagara in the Mountain Belly Hive Base. He sent us a report early yesterday morning, informing us of the current progress of the Hive's expansion..."
Zagara is a very good leader of the hive, and the insect hive in the heart of the mountain develops very quickly under his leadership.
As of the time it reported back to Isa, the insect nest base had occupied one-fifth of the barrier mountain area. Not only was the entire Rogge camp area surrounded by the insect swarm, but even a large part of the western boundary on the other side of the mountain range was surrounded by insects.
The underground of the forest plain area is occupied by insect swarms.
The development of the insect network is extremely rapid. Except for some particularly mysterious and weird places that the tunnel worms cannot dig into, the entire area occupied by the insect nest base can be reached by the tunnel worms at any time.
And the most important thing is that Zagara has covered the Nydus Worm network in the isolated desert. I believe that in the near future, Xue Hua will be able to summon Nydus Worms anytime and anywhere in Lu Gaoyin City.
However, the nest swarm has also encountered many problems in its rapid development. Some of these problems are caused by world historical reasons and cannot be solved with the current ability of the swarm (for example, the city of Tristram in the western boundary, that
The city is now full of demon clones.), but some problems seem very mysterious and strange.
The tunnel worms of Zagara once strayed into a mysterious mountain valley during the excavation process. This valley was filled with white mist that even the Overwatch King Insect could not see through.
But when Zagara personally led the insect swarm troops to investigate, the white mist disappeared again.
The deep valley in the mountains also turned into an ordinary valley. No matter how deep Zagara dug in it, he found nothing.
Another time, a worker bee accidentally dug through a strange rock formation, and a large amount of magma gushes out from the pores of the rock formation. The temperature of this magma is extremely high, and it seems that it will never cool and condense. Zagara once tried to let a
A cockroach jumped in.
As a result, the cockroach, which was almost immune to flames, instantly melted into the magma like butter in a hot pot.
With no other choice, Zagara finally had to use his psionic skills to take some magma samples, and then asked the saboteurs to blow up the entire tunnel and prohibited the worker bees from digging in that direction.
However, these are just minor problems that do not hinder the overall development of the insect swarm. Therefore, the approval given by Xue Hua only allowed Zagara to continue to speed up the development of the insect nest and insect tunnel network. As for these mysterious things, as long as
As long as it does not endanger the safety of the nest, you only need to pay a little attention. There is no need to fight with these small troubles.
Of course, if something is discovered that is beneficial to the insect swarm, one must seize the opportunity quickly.
The report on the development of Zagara's nest stopped here for the time being. Next, Isa began to report to Xue Hua on the progress of the insect swarm exploration force led by Dehaka in the mysterious sand dunes.
Compared with the rapid development of the Zagara Hive, Dehaka's actions did not appear to be so smooth.
Of course, this does not mean that Dehaka's ability is worse than Zagara's, it only means that the situation it faces is more complicated.
Ever since Dehaka led the insect swarm exploration team into the mysterious sand dunes, their troubles have never stopped.
The first two days went well. The exploration swarm successfully collected a batch of biological essences with great potential and sent them to Leviathan's database** Abathur for research.
But as they slowly begin to penetrate deeper into the mysterious sand dunes, trouble begins to arise.
The exploring insect swarm first stumbled into an extremely cleverly disguised predator trap and was attacked by a group of giant centipede-like creatures with wings. Although in the end, Dehaka's powerful combat power and the tacit cooperation of the insect swarm successfully eliminated them.
Some giant centipedes and their essences were obtained, but the insect swarm also suffered heavy losses.
Then, the insect swarm's aerial defense line, the alien dragon swarm, suffered another inexplicable attack.
An invisible flying creature that even the Overwatch King Insect couldn't see through attacked them.
After killing dozens of mutalisks, these creatures were so cunning that they managed to retreat before the swarm could organize a counterattack, so that Dehaka failed to collect their essence.
As the exploratory swarms continue to penetrate deeper into the mysterious sand dunes, various strange creatures begin to create various dilemmas for them. The abilities of these creatures are so strange and the types are so rich that Dehaka, a man who has absorbed countless...
The original zerg leaders of the biological essence were shocked.
In the end, the exploring insect swarm had no choice but to stop going deeper and clear a safe area to build an insect nest, hoping to continue to collect the biological essence here through the continuous supply of the insect nest.
Xue Hua responded immediately after seeing the report, asking Dehaka to continue to implement the current strategy, but not to continue deep into the heart of the mysterious sand dunes, and only to carry out guerrilla hunting along the edge of the mysterious sand dunes.
After all, the central area of the mysterious sand dunes is a dangerous area that even the legendary strongmen have not been able to enter to find out. With the current ability of the insect swarm, it will be difficult to extend its tentacles into the mysterious sand dunes unless a large army is mobilized to attack the area.
Central hinterland.
But now that the insect swarm is still developing on a large scale, it is extremely unwise to make such a decision.
After Isa conveyed the order to Dehaka's insect mother adjutant, Xue Hua frowned and thought for a while.
He was thinking about the reason for the formation of this area.
What is it that creates such a diverse biological evolutionary environment in the mysterious dune area?
Judging from the report sent back by Dehaka, the biodiversity there is so rich that it is comparable to a miniature version of Planet Zerus!
This does not look like an ecological environment that can be developed by natural evolution.
Moreover, why are those creatures limited to the mysterious sand dunes?
With the unpredictable abilities and powerful fighting power of these creatures, as long as they are willing to walk out of the sand dunes, almost the entire Aranok Desert will be unable to stop their invasion!
However, Xue Hua is not a biologist after all. The speculations he can make are quite limited and very untenable, so he can only include the matter in Abathur's research memo after thinking about it for a while to no avail.
in the hope that this master of genetic evolution of the insect swarm can find the answer for him in future research.
Isa's reports are still continuing, and what she is currently reporting to Xue Hua is Abathur's research progress.
After Abathur finished the first phase of research on Xue Hua's professional skill system, he turned his energy to the Rune Language system in the world of Sanctuary and the giant desert beast that was previously discovered in the desert that can cause black sand storms.
in genetic research.
Both studies now seem to be in an inexplicable dilemma.
The first is the former. The Rune Language system in the world of Sanctuary is quite complex, far from being as simple as in the games Xue Hua has played before.
In fact, in Xue Hua's opinion, even though the rune language system in the game is already very cumbersome, Abathur's research report shows the true appearance of this rune system in the real world.
According to reports, the language system of the runes seems to involve the world laws formed in the most ancient times of this world. It is a very ancient set of basic descriptive sentences about all the materials needed for the birth of a world.
This is a bit like the code characters typed by programmers that Xue Hua saw in his previous life, except that programmers use codes to build a virtual system world, while the language of divine runes builds a real world through some mysterious form.
world system.
Abathur's current research status on the language of runes is like a person who has never learned C# language and got several fragmented data codes in the program, and wants to piece these codes together one by one, and finally form them.
The original appearance undoubtedly poses great difficulties.
Xue Hua once told Abathur about some usages of the Rune Language, but after in-depth study, Abathur believed that these usages were just the most basic splicing of these "codes" and a kind of downgraded reprocessing.
The results obtained after such reprocessing are due to luck rather than correct systematic re-induction.
And the most critical problem is that Abathur's expertise is not in the research direction of the basic structure of the world. What he is best at is biogenetics.
Therefore, Abathur suggested to Xue Hua in his report that this rune system should be transferred to Phase Technician Keles, who is better at studying energy and world framework structure, for research. Maybe Protoss Technology can gain insights in this regard
Unexpected results.
However, Xue Hua could only put this proposal on hold with a wry smile, because when Isha reported to him the latest developments of Keles, she said that the phase technician of the protoss had taken the wrong medicine recently, and he actually followed suit.
Abathur also dived into the mechanical research room in the colony ship, and informed Xue Hua through the insect mother left by Stukov that unless there was something very important, try not to disturb him.
This also made Xue Hua feel very helpless.
Why are all these scientific researchers so virtuous?
