The last change in the insect hive biological structure comes from the Ultralisk Cave. Currently, the most powerful conventional combat power among the swarm ground units is the Ultralisk, and the Ultralisk has never lived up to its honor.
Whether it was in the ancient tomb of Tarasha or in the recent defense battle of Lu Gaoyin, the Thunder Beast showed very, very strong combat effectiveness.
Even the clones of the dark gold leaders still looked like this when facing the crushing attacks of the Thunder Beasts. Their two pairs of eight-meter-long single-molecule giant blades really impressed all the evil contract commanders.
And terrified.
Before the evolution began, Abathur consulted Xue Hua's personal opinions on the changes to the Thunder Beast.
According to Abathur's theory of perfect evolution, it wants to use this nest upgrade plan to add a few "anti-aircraft guns" to the Thunder Beast, which originally had no anti-air capabilities.
However, Xue Hua immediately rejected the improvement plan after learning about its plan.
His reason is simple. The swarm is a whole, and the swarm as a whole already has Hydralisks and the new unit Spear Hunter to perform air defense tasks. Therefore, the swarm's air defense force is actually very sufficient.
In terms of players, the swarm also has a very powerful air force to escort the ground troops. Mutalisks, Corruptors and the new unit Prowler are enough to ensure the airspace security of the swarm ground units under normal circumstances.
Therefore, there is no need to add air defense capabilities to the Ultralisk.
After understanding Xue Hua's attitude, Abathur changed his plan to change the Thunder Beast.
It adds a new upgrade evolution to Thunder Cave, which is partly inspired by the giant Clawed Viper in the Clawed Viper Temple.
Abathur made certain adjustments and integrated it into the candidate gene sequence of the Ultralisk.
The name of this upgrade and evolution is called "Phantom Charge", and it is an actively activated skill.
When this upgrade is developed, the Thunder Beast will gain a very terrifying defense penetration capability.
When faced with the opponent's layers of defensive obstacles, the Thunder Beast could only choose to break through head-on and crash directly into it. However, after acquiring this new ability, the Thunder Beast has the terrifying power of being able to make short-distance space jumps (refer to
Diablo 3 Dao Ye's "Ferocious Shifter").
This new ability is simply a bug when placed on the Thunder Beast. Imagine the horror when you, who originally thought that the frontline defenses were impregnable, look up and see a behemoth more than twenty meters high suddenly appear in front of you, let alone that.
The eight-meter-long four-handled sword can scare a group of people to death...
However, activating this ability requires the support of psychic reserves. The psychic reserves in the Thunder Beast's body can be used up to twice in a short period of time. Fortunately, Xue Hua is already satisfied. According to the destructive power of the Thunder Beast, usually a collective phantom charge can be used.
It was enough to completely collapse the enemy's front line of defense.
In addition to these major changes to functional buildings, two of the Zerg's defensive buildings have also been slightly tweaked by Abathur.
These adjustments are mainly enhancements to the original abilities, such as increasing the speed of rooting/uprooting, accelerating the movement speed on creep/non-creature ground, increasing destructive power and resistance to damage, etc.
The second half of the report is about the strengthening of insect swarm units. In addition to the joint evolution of functional buildings just mentioned, there are also evolution reports of three units not mentioned just now.
The first is the worker bee. The worker bee has also received a series of functional enhancements in this swarm upgrade. In addition, the basic builders of these swarms have also gained a new skill.
The previous worker bees had the ability to sniff out mineral veins, and could convert the available energy in the minerals into standard energy units and input them into the swarm's resource pool.
After evolution, worker bees have acquired the new skill of being able to store all scattered but scattered materials that they come into contact with that contain energy, and after storing a standard unit of energy, they can regurgitate it and input it into the resource pool.
The simple explanation is that the previous worker bees could only mine and convert the energy contained in minerals into standard "crystals" and "gas", but now the worker bees can see what is being mined.
The energy in these substances collected by worker bees may be very weak, but the worker bees can eat them first and store them, and when a sufficient amount is accumulated, they can be transported together into the resource pool.
The emergence of this skill will definitely speed up the insect swarm's resource reserves, but it also leaves behind the hidden danger of destructive mining.
Xue Hua now urgently needs a resource star that can carry out destructive mining without any scruples to liberate the productivity of the insect swarm. However, the planets around the sanctuary world seem to be very barren. Not only are there no good resource stars and ecological stars, but there are even
There isn't even a planet with that much "eating up" value.
Therefore, Xue Hua can only temporarily limit the ability of worker bees to a certain range. You can harvest whatever you want within the barrier mountain range, as long as you don't dig through the core of the earth. But in other places, you have to take it easy. Don't wait till then.
Before the demons could be beaten away, the swarm of insects ate up the first world...
In addition to worker bees, the second unit mentioned in the report is the king insect and the supervisory king insect.
The evolution of the king insect mainly tends to the direction of transportation. Its abdominal sac has become larger, its flight speed is faster, its ceiling is also higher, and it has been able to independently escape the gravity of the planet and enter outer space.
The evolution of the Supervisory King Insect is more inclined to the direction of reconnaissance and espionage operations. After the evolution, the Supervisory King Insect's field of vision has been expanded again, and the penetration limit of the visual field has also been greatly strengthened.
In terms of detecting invisibility, there are very few things in the first world that can completely hide from the eyes of the surveillance king insect, and the detection stealth has also been greatly improved.
Now, even if Xue Hua uses the Supervisory King Insect to directly scan Lu Gaoyin City, as long as he doesn't stare at a certain legendary strongman, there will be no danger of being discovered.
However, in the direction of Kurast, the Overwatch King still reported that there might be a danger of being discovered there, because there seemed to be some very powerful presence in the occupied city.
In addition to the direction of investigation, the two skills of monitoring the king insect - "Pollution" and "Hatching Mimic Hatchlings" have also undergone very significant changes. Among them, the skill of Hatching Mimic Hatchlings has changed the most.
The gelatinous organism hatched by this skill is now more stable. As long as it can obtain regular nutritional supplies every day, it can remove its own limited life limit and survive forever.
This gives the swarm the space and foundation to implement many spy tactics plans. Previously, this skill seemed useless because the hatched mimic hatchlings had too short a survival time, but now you can use these to transform into
Other human-looking spy creatures conduct infiltration reconnaissance.
As for getting nutritional supplements every day...it's very simple, just eat on time.
The Supervisory King Insect has now completely turned into a multi-functional spy satellite of the insect swarm. If the mimic hatchlings they hatch are used properly, the world can no longer have any secrets in front of Xue Hua.
In addition to monitoring the king insect, the king insect also has a new mutation option.
