Based on the research on satellite insects, Shen Cong has roughly understood the degree of evolution of metal civilization on the Zuoqi Zengqisan planet. This is a vibrant planet. Before the legacy of the violent Star Breaker came, it had a higher level than the earth. The technological civilization of the original civilization level.
This can be concluded from the modified structure of the satellite worm.
A large number of complex nanoscale crystals are used in various instruments and undertake complicated tasks. But Shen Cong has not found a processor similar to a CPU. The processor level here is still a mechanical primitive method.
On Earth, the CPU will control various hardware through logical operations. Here, there are no logical operations, only mechanical conditioned reflexes.
This processing method is much lower-level than the CPU.
However, the hardware of the instrument has been polished very finely and is able to withstand response capabilities that are no slower than logical operations. Especially the mechanical operations based on nanoscale crystals are astonishingly large.
"The bugs here have developed mechanical civilization to a new level, which is very interesting."
Such fine and complex mechanical products brought a lot of inspiration to Shen Cong, and he was quite interested in these mechanical means of making a hard bridge and a hard horse.
"I can apply highly developed mechanical civilization to the transformation of my body, the Universe God. The rich mechanical style during transformation will definitely be more impactful."
For a star-level cosmic fire like Shen Cong, the incredible energy possessed by fire transcends the framework of civilization. The absorption of mechanical civilization can only be used for the aesthetics of appearance.
While studying satellite worms.
Shen Cong quickly separated a clone, landed on the surface of Zuoqi Zengqisan, and then quickly transformed into a three-legged insect with a height of more than 70 meters.
After mimicking, it disguises itself as a nuclear-level three-legged insect with original fire.
Start taking action on the surface of Zeng Qi San in Zuo Banner and observe some content that interests you, such as the planet’s history, culture, society, species, behavior, etc.
…
A week later.
Shen Cong has completed most of the inspection. He spent a day learning the language of the three-legged insect, and then continued to communicate. This assignment was very simple.
The tripods here are the only advanced intelligent creatures on the planet.
They call themselves "Hula Koba", which in their language means a strong race full of wisdom, which can be understood as the self-proclaimed "human" of humans.
Shen Cong called them intelligent insects.
The reason why they are called insects instead of people is because intelligent insects are metamorphosed species and have differentiation similar to ant colonies and bee colonies. It starts as an egg, hatches into a maggot-like larvae, and then gradually differentiates into different forms. Mature individuals have different abilities.
So biologically, they are more like bugs than humans.
Three slender legs hold a flat head. It is the most common intelligent insect. Its common differentiated form was named Tripod by Shen Cong.
The legs of tripods are very long, allowing them to easily travel through the forests of the red, large-leaf plant 'blood pineapple' that is spread all over the world. They are warriors, organized into tribes, and large numbers of tripods often fight and fight to snatch food. , territory and survival supplies.
Before the Zuo Banner Zengqi San disaster, there were no individuals of three-legged insects exceeding five meters high, but now from twenty meters to one hundred meters, they have become mainstream, and the fire particles have contaminated them.
Three slender legs hold a large round head, and there are more than ten tentacles on the big head. It is the same common differentiated form of intelligent insects. Shen Cong named it the brain worm.
Brain bugs are much smaller than tripod bugs, about ten meters tall. They are workers and researchers. They are capable of skilled production, researching technology, and building tribes.
Long strips, covered with tentacles, similar to centipedes, are the lowest differentiated form among intelligent insects. Shen Cong named them earthworms.
Earthworms can burrow into the ground, loosen the soil, and grow blood pineapples to provide food for the population.
Tripods, brain worms, and earthworms form the basis of the intelligent insect tribe. They are bound by blood ties and have gathered together for a long time to form a tribe of intelligent insects with sound functions.
But as time goes by, and the blood relationship continues from generation to generation, the blood between each other will become weak, and it is even difficult to have a blood relationship. At this time, the reason why the tribe can maintain and reproduce for a long time is because the intelligent insects have a fourth A differentiated form of kingworm.
After more than a week of investigation, Shen Cong could not figure out the reason for the emergence of the king insect.
In fact, the intelligent insects themselves cannot explain clearly why the king insect was born, but in almost every tribe, there is always a king insect. When the king insect becomes old and weak, an intelligent insect egg will differentiate into a new king. Insects. King Insects have no special reproductive method. They are just ordinary eggs of ordinary intelligent insects that suddenly differentiate.
It seems to be a kind of breath suppression. When the king insect is immortal and immortal, there will be no new king insect differentiation.
The king insect may develop into any shape. It has no "passing over" and cannot control the tribe. It is like a mascot or a totem, enshrined by the tribe. I don't know if the king insect has a certain There is a "magic power" that Shen Cong cannot detect. With the king insect, the tribe's cohesion will be very strong.
Once the king insect dies and the new king insect has not hatched, the tribe will be in turmoil. If the king insect does not come out, the tribe will soon be dispersed.
Then individuals leave the tribe one after another to find new tribes that are willing to accept it.
But most individuals find it difficult to find new tribes, or even don't look for them at all. Instead, they survive alone in the wild until they die.
"It's a very strange social behavior. The king insect is more like a religious belief. The intelligent insect loses its faith, has a mental breakdown, and is lonely waiting to die."
The satellite bug he captured before was a type of king bug. It was just a captured king bug that was transformed by the brain bug and sent to the sky as a reconnaissance satellite.
Because the king insect was not dead but could not appear in the tribe, the tribe from which the king insect was captured quickly dispersed and its territory fell to the opponent.
The remaining intelligent insect tribes are all developed after the disaster.
The number of blood pineapples is skyrocketing. They have no shortage of food, but killings are still flooding the entire intelligent insect civilization. What they are fighting for is the oasis and the fire fragments in the oasis.
"I don't know how spectacular the civilization of the intelligent insects was before the disaster. The old king insect died in the disaster, and I was differentiated at that time. Since I can remember, we intelligent insects have undergone tremendous changes, and our cohesion is changing. Well, the reason why we are still together is purely due to inertia."
There is a small tribe of giant king bugs that look like a piece of shit, with three short legs and seven dancing tentacles.
It went to harvest blood pineapples for food by itself. The other intelligent bugs in the tribe were no longer willing to raise it, so Shen Cong easily caught it.
After a little intimidation, he confessed all the information he knew.
"I am no longer an important member. The tribe will soon be disbanded. Our intelligent insect civilization will collapse. Sooner or later..."
"Have you recorded the previous history?"
"No, we intelligent insects don't need to record history. History is nothing and it means nothing. We choose to live in the present and live seriously."
"Then how will your technology be passed down?"
"The heads of the brain bugs are born with all the technology in the tribe. They can produce very powerful equipment without any teaching. The three-legged bugs also don't need to be taught. They are born warriors and fight for all the resources we need. Earthworms are born to grow blood pineapples.”
"So what do you know, naturally?"
"I... was born with no knowledge of anything, but some king bugs are good at technology, some can grow blood pineapples, and some are good at fighting. I even saw a king bug that can fly."
…
"Forget it, there is obviously something wrong with the genes of intelligent insects. Knowledge is inherited in genes. I don't have deep research on this aspect now. I'd better take some living specimens back and give them to earth scientists for research. I believe we can get some interesting results. .”
A map was drawn in Shen Cong's eyes.
"Red Star... resource distribution."
The map is Zuoqi Zengqisan, which the intelligent insects call Big King, and Shen Cong named it Red Star.
The map identifies all the intelligent insect tribes in Red Star, as well as the specific locations of the oasis. These are the concentration areas of fire seed resources: "Let's mine the resources below. There is no need for a race without any sense of beauty to survive... The weak will not survive. Qualifications.”
In the next period of time, Shen Cong began to carry out the Red Star Massacre. Groups of intelligent insects and other creatures fell to his indiscriminate attacks.
The fire fragments are recovered, the fire particles are collected, and all the remains are flowing into Shen Cong's hands.
Survival in the universe is difficult, and the cosmic fire species is a disastrous race. Fortunately, the earth was born with Shen Cong, leaving behind its own civilization.
Without Shen Cong, the earth might have been conquered by Phantom Wings and suffered the same ending.
The weak eat the strong, nothing more than that.
…
One month later.
The wail of the red star stopped, and Shen Cong, whose body continued to grow in size, left the red planet after placing several satellites. He tore apart time and space in the void, walked in without looking back, and shuttled to the next target.
