Chapter 107 Zuzad - Master of Environmental Transformation
After explaining the matter about Greg, Xue Hua turned his attention back to Abathur.
"The introduction of the new unit is complete, how is our new commander doing?"
"The new high-level Zerg has a powerful brain evolution, using the infected as a model. On the basis of retaining a powerful psychic capture organ, it strengthens its analytical function, adjusts its consciousness fluctuations, greatly strengthens its autonomous consciousness, and catalyzes it through a powerful catalyst to produce a large number of spiritual beings.
Can harvest organs.
Positioned as a master of biological environment improvement, he is mainly responsible for transforming and strengthening the planet's biological energy. He can gradually stimulate the barren land and restore its stable biological environment breeding ability by incubating special creeping fungi. The specific ability list is as follows. "
After Abathur gave a brief introduction, he transmitted the detailed information of the new high-level commander to the main hive mind, Xue Hua, for review.
The appearance of the new high-ranking commander of the insect swarm is 70% similar to that of the infected, but the number of psychic sensing tentacles on his head has increased significantly, and his body is covered with mesh-like psychic collecting organs. The nerve nodes on his back have been strengthened to resemble those of Zagara.
Similar tentacle-like brain tissues and the coronal armor that protects these brain tissues.
The overall body size is larger than that of ordinary infected people, and two pairs of sharp, hollow stingers grow next to the sac-like storage organ in the abdomen.
From its detailed information, Xue Hua learned information about the capabilities of this new high-ranking commander.
Its psychic level is similar to the current Abathur, which is about 9.4, but its combat effectiveness rating is not high, and it is purely a scientific research unit.
Through the guidance information of the Zerg Gene Bank, this new high-level Zerg was named "Zuzade". It has the ability to survive in the vacuum of the universe, and can hatch a special bacteria that has been specialized by it.
Carpet to transform the environment of the barren land and planet.
To put it simply, Zuzade can rejuvenate some solid barren planets that originally produced nothing. Although this process takes a long time, those planets that have been transformed by it will have continuous benefits after the transformation is completed.
The Zerg's ability to provide resources.
Zuzard has two commander skills.
The first commander skill is called "Crawling Fungi", and this skill is its main ability for transforming the planet.
These special carpets it hatches can absorb the rays in the universe to grow themselves, and convert the absorbed rays into special energy and feed it back to the barren land where they grow.
At the same time, the creeping fungus can also emit a special gaseous fungus into the air. These fungi will help the creeping fungi transform the land and form a simple atmospheric isolation layer above the planet.
Zuzade's second commander skill is called "Environmentally Adaptable Bacteria". This skill allows Zuzade to spread a viral strain with extremely strong survival and self-mutation capabilities into the surface of a desolate planet.
These strains of bacteria will continue to mutate while absorbing information from the surrounding environment during the growth process. They will eventually mutate into various special plant life forms with different abilities. These plant life forms will form different plants with the help of the creeping fungi carpet.
Species groups and activate the biological reproduction and natural evolution capabilities of an entire land.
In short, Zuzade has the ability to transform the desolate Death Star and bring it back to life. These planets transformed by various bacteria will automatically provide an endless supply of resources to the insect swarm after the transformation is completed.
At the same time, Zuzade is also a master in biological environment research. It can study and transform various planetary environments just like Abathur studies biological genes, and make the biological environments of these planets develop and evolve in a direction that is conducive to insect colonies.
In addition, Zuzade's only means of combat is to hatch mutants to protect itself like an infected person. However, the mutants it hatches are composed of various fungi and plants, which are not only extremely difficult to eliminate but also possess various abilities.
special abilities.
Zuzard's abilities are very important to the current swarm, and Xue Hua almost immediately wanted Stukov's swarm fleet to take it with him to transform the otherwise useless Death Stars near the Sanctuary world.
Although according to Abathur, it will take at least a year for Zuzade to completely transform an entire planet, but for Xue Hua, who is already going crazy thinking about resource stars, a year is completely worth the wait.
of.
What's more, Zuzade's transformation ability only requires his own adjustment and layout in the initial stage. When the creeping carpet and environmentally adaptable strains start to grow on their own, Zuzade can get out and continue to transform the next one.
planet.
In this way, Xue Hua's insect swarm may gradually obtain a sufficient supply of five or six resource stars within one to two years. With these inexhaustible resource stars as the backing, the development and evolution of the insect swarm will be
The speed is expected to break through the sky soon.
"Isa, after Zuzad comes out of the culture capsule, immediately ask the second fleet of the swarm to take it with it to transform the surrounding desolate planets without any further delay. Do you understand?"
Xue Hua shouted to the adjutant with some excitement.
"Understood, Lord." Isa responded in the main nest mind, and then went to monitor Zuzade's culture capsule in person.
"Very good, with Zuzade's existence, the swarm will have a second way to obtain resources besides plunder!"
Xue Hua nodded confidently.
He had a hunch that this newly emerged high-level Zerg would bring about great changes in the evolutionary path of the Zerg swarm.
Perhaps when the insect swarm becomes completely powerful, plunder will no longer be the only way for the insect swarm to obtain resources. At that time, the insect swarm will have room to allow other conquered cosmic races to surrender.
After a while, Xue Hua calmed down his excitement and looked at Abathur again, waiting for him to introduce the remaining two research results.
"The preliminary decoding of the Planet 1 experimental sample has been completed. A special gene splicing method was obtained from the outer layer of the core gene of the sample. This splicing method is roughly the same as the gene splicing method of the mother of sandworms and the previous Sample 1.
The same but with improvements. Judging from the method of gene splicing, this advanced intelligent creature is trying some very dangerous transformation of biological essence."
As Abathur spoke, he stretched out his right appendage and took out a group of dark green vesicles from a hole beside him. This vesicle contained an enlarged spiral gene chain. This gene chain
At first glance, it looks very similar to the human gene chain, but upon closer inspection, you can see that this gene chain has obviously been spliced, and the splicing method is very strange.
For example, the genes in this gene chain are like two pieces of cloth of different colors, and then they are sewn together with threads removed from the cloth of another color. Although they are closely connected to each other,
But just from the appearance, it makes people feel very awkward.
"The experimenter forcibly combined and spliced multiple biological genes into one place, and used superb skills to shield the mutually exclusive effects between different types of genes. Their technical strength is so powerful that it is beyond even me."
Abathur told Xue Hua without hesitation that he was not as good as this guy who was doing gene splicing, but in his subsequent words he expressed his disdain for the experiments he was conducting.
"Although the experimenter's technology is powerful, the purpose of the experiment is very unclear. I found thousands of unrelated gene samples on the periphery of the core gene layer of the sample, including special biological genes unique to this world.
One of the genes is named ‘Devil’ in this world, and it is the ‘Higher Demon’ gene we obtained before.
Judging from this, the purpose of the experiment may be to mix and weave a large number of genes together, and try to use the fusion effect of these modified genes to transcend the nature of biological evolution.
But IMHO, this kind of experiment will inevitably be a dead end in the end, because all evolved gene sequences have their own unique characteristics. No matter how sophisticated the technical means, it is impossible to perfectly integrate all of these characteristics. If there is no way inside the gene,
To obtain a completely compatible environment, it is nonsense to transcend the nature of biological evolution."
