Xue Hua asked the insect mother responsible for the hatching work a little about the progress of the hatching, and left with satisfaction after receiving the answer that the melee battle was successful.
He turned his attention back to the world of Sanctuary and contacted the protoss phase technician Keleth through the insect mother left in the mysterious sand dunes.
This phase technician has been shutting himself in the laboratory for the past few days, studying the fragments of the World Stone day and night.
As the research progressed, Keles discovered that this strange crystal fragment did have many similarities with the Keldarin Crystal, an important energy supply for their clan.
At present, he still doesn't know why, but he has become more familiar with the method of dealing with the Keldarin crystal to deal with the World Stone fragment.
In addition to having many similarities with the Keldarin Crystal, the Worldstone fragments also naturally have strong resonances with everything that involves the rules of this world.
For example, the pieces of magical runes are the nutrients for its growth, as well as the altar runes that Xue Hua imprinted from the altar in the Catman Oasis a long time ago. They all emit extremely powerful energy when they are close to the fragments of the World Stone.
Unique energy fluctuations.
These phenomena fascinate Keles so much that he has spent several days in the laboratory forgetting to eat or sleep since he obtained the fragments of the World Stone.
Xue Hua's arrival slightly interrupted his research progress, but Keles was not angry about it. In fact, within these two days, if Xue Hua did not come to him, he would take the initiative to find Xue Hua.
.
Because he had just made a breakthrough in the research on the World Stone and the Golden Insect Swarm, he needed Abathur's biological knowledge and the experimental subjects sent by the Insect Swarm to assist him in continuing his research.
"In other words, you have found a way to completely energize the crystal and give it biological-like characteristics. Now you need Abathur to help you inject this energy into the gene chain of the insect swarm?"
The mimic hatchling transformed by Xue Hua frowned and nodded, contacting Abathur in the main hive mind and pulling him into the conversation.
"Yes, I have found a way to restore this unique solid-state energy compound into a quantum substance that can be accepted by living organisms. The structure content and form of the energy molecules contained in it are the same as...
"
"Ahem...talk in human language..."
"Well... in short, you just need to know that I already have a way to recode this crystal to change it from an inorganic state to an organic state.
As for the remaining steps, I am not good at biological genetics, so I need the assistance of your biological experts and the biological resources of the insect swarm."
At this time, Abathur, who had been listening in, joined the discussion.
"The solid inorganic matter is recoded and designed into a form acceptable to organic matter. The plan is too crude. The gene encoding of the insect swarm has its own rules, order and exclusiveness. It is difficult to accept the intervention of new organic matter information. The gene tailoring process is too complicated and the sequence re-grafting is difficult.
It is easy to cause the overall collapse of the genetic order, which is risky, and will change the old hatching sequence of the insect colony. It is not recommended to directly use the units in the main nest colony for genetic recoding."
"...Well, what do you mean?" Xue Hua frowned at the complicated technical vocabulary, but he still roughly understood what Abathur meant.
This experiment has certain risks. If the experiment is conducted directly on existing interconnected nests, it may cause the collapse of the entire genetic sequence of a certain experimental unit.
Therefore, Abathur does not recommend starting experiments directly from existing nest groups.
“Separating separate hatcheries, implementing genetic isolation, and establishing a copy of the genetic information database for independent hatchery experiments can reduce risks.
Intercepting genetic samples and strictly recording the experimental process can effectively capture the genetic map of successful experiments, and by collecting genes from the same lineage, successful samples can be easily inserted into the main genetic information database of the insect group."
"This method is ok. Just follow your instructions and ask the mother bugs in the mysterious sand dunes to cooperate and establish a hatchery as soon as possible that is independent of the genetic information database of the main nest group of the bugs."
Xue Hua nodded and thought this method was not bad, so he asked Abathur to do it immediately.
However, Abathur did not immediately respond to the order, but continued to speak, telling Xue Hua the hidden dangers of this method.
"The experimental hatchery, the genetic information database is cut off, and it will also become a wild insect hatchery independent of the main hive mind.
Its hatching data will no longer be under the jurisdiction of the insect swarm, and the master also has no management rights over the hatchery."
"Wild insects?" Xue Hua was stunned, and his brows slowly wrinkled.
This is not a good start.
The Zerg are a race with a very clear leadership hierarchy.
Low-level Zerg combat units generally do not have self-awareness, and only use the general hive mind as a telepathic communication transmission network.
Only king insects, mother insects and high-level commanders have a certain degree of self-awareness, but they are still firmly limited by the main hive mind and the control of the master.
In this huge and hierarchical command system within the insect swarm, the hive mind plays an indispensable and key role.
It connects the Overlord with its swarm, allowing the Overlord's will to be clearly and unequivocally communicated to the consciousness of all Zerg units.
Once an insect nest breaks away from the main hive mind, of course, this is impossible under normal circumstances, then this insect nest will become a wild zerg nest.
If a wild zerg hive that is isolated from the main hive mind is not commanded by a mother-level commander, it will immediately fall into an extremely primitive state of wild development.
The king insect has certain command rights over the insect nest, but the king insect alone cannot completely and perfectly command the insect nest.
The insect nest in this state will become quite dangerous, and the insect units hatched from the insect nest will fall into a state of disorder and chaos.
They will attack everything around them without any restraint or hindrance, following the original wild instinct of the zerg, trying to evolve themselves through devouring.
This state of the wild insect hive will continue until the master returns it to the jurisdiction of the main hive mind or a new insect mother is born in the insect hive.
A new insect mother was born that was not within the jurisdiction of the main hive mind.
The chance of a wild insect nest giving birth to an insect mother is very small, but once a new insect mother is born, this insect mother will be independent of the mind of the original main nest.
It will lead the zerg in the wild hive to rebel against the Overlord's rule, and begin to try to evolve itself, waiting for the time to come.
Once the time it needs comes, this insect mother will try to create its own mental network of the main hive, and use this to completely separate its hive group from the jurisdiction of the original master.
This is a challenge to the authority of the original Zerg Overlord. Generally speaking, Zerg Overlords will not ask for trouble like this.
However, Abathur's suggestion is very pertinent. Keles's new experiment may indeed cause chaos in the Zerg genetic information database. If this risk is ignored, it may bring unpredictable variables to the evolution of the entire Zerg group.
Thinking of this, Xue Hua let out a long sigh, and then said to Abathur: "Let's go ahead and do it, but we must firmly incorporate the experimental insect nest into our monitoring system. I don't want it to happen when I don't know."
, a new Blade Queen or something suddenly appeared in the nest."
