Chapter 531 Prepare to Upgrade the Queen Worm
"Ok?"

When Dai Lin heard Ye Ren say this suddenly, she stopped working, but she still didn't obediently put down the test tube, she just turned her head and looked at Ye Ren with some doubts: "If you have anything to say, you can just say it, I'm listening .”

"Listen, I'm not blind."

Ye Ren wiped his face: "You're obviously doing an experiment, okay?"

"I'm practicing multitasking, so it will be more helpful for me to manipulate the star marks."

Dai Lin explained a sentence in a serious manner, but even though it was an explanation, she still subconsciously obeyed Ye Ren's words, and put the test tube in her hand on the test tube rack beside her: "That's all right, what's the matter?" Just say it."

"Uh...how is your experiment going?"

Ye Ren thought for a while, and found what he wanted to ask casually: "How is the research on shimmering mushrooms and viruses? Have you found anything special?"

"Not yet."

Hearing that Ye Ren was asking about the experiment, Dai Lin shook her head directly and explained: "After I came back, I have been sorting out some materials I saw in the laboratory before, so although I have been doing experiments, but It’s not really going that fast.”

"Oh, so you're actually waiting for me to unseal the ball of suds?"

Ye Ren nodded and asked.

"Yeah." Dai Lin nodded lightly, as if her expression was a little tired, she turned around and picked up a beaker, took a few sips of the dark green liquid in it, and then continued: "I I was thinking, if we integrate the data from the laboratory this time, combined with the knowledge I understand, although I can’t guarantee the problem of shimmering mushrooms, there may be some breakthroughs in the research of the virus.”

"Is that so?"

Ye Ren nodded. Now the queen is not really short of nutrient solution. The existence of fusiform worms has actually alleviated the crisis of part of the food source. As long as Ye Ren thinks about it, even if Levy is not needed Frankly, the queen could be self-sufficient, too.

So Ye Ren was looking forward to the shimmering mushrooms, but instead he became not particularly anxious.

"Of course, if all those experimental equipment can be put into use, I will have greater confidence." Dai Lin nodded, then yawned and pointed to a petri dish on the side: "But although the shimmering mushroom I can’t meet your requirements for the time being, but for now I have cultured a similar fungus, do you want to try it?”

"Similar fungi?"

Ye Ren asked with some interest: "What is that? Creep carpet?"

"No, it's just a kind of fungal life. It doesn't grow fast, and it doesn't emit light. The depth of rooting and vitality are not up to standard."

Dai Lin shook her head: "Actually, this thing was originally considered a failure, but I tried it. It can grow in a simulated insect nest environment, and the fruiting bodies it produces can be regarded as some nutrients, which is better than nothing, otherwise You can try putting this thing into the insect nest. I will be able to record the growth status of this thing in the real insect nest environment at that time. Maybe it will be helpful for the synthesis of real shimmering mushrooms in the future. .”

"I didn't find the bread, but you found some bread crumbs?"

Ye Ren stared at the clump of small purple mushroom bushes in the petri dish, and asked Dai Lin with great interest.

"Basically, your description is quite apt, this thing can only be regarded as bread crumbs." Dai Lin also had a disapproving expression on this thing, and she was not even willing to look at it more: "Anyway, if you like it Just take it to test it out."

"Well, I'll pack it up and take it away."

Ye Ren nodded, and then began to cut to the point: "By the way, I feel that your body is a little weak, girl, how long have you not rested?"

"rest?"

Dai Lin seemed to be remembering something, and finally gave up: "I seem to have forgotten, but I don't want to rest, have I ever rested?"

"No, no, I'm not supervising you, I just want you to take a break."

Ye Ren wiped his face: "You can put aside the work at hand for now. Your body is the most important thing. If you fall down, it will be very troublesome for me."

"I am not tired."

Dai Lin shook her head: "It's okay if you never rest, and I'm sure it's okay, too. Although the Starstreak Symbiosis should not be as strong as yours, I know my own body well, so don't worry."

"Don't worry."

After Ye Ren heard Dai Lin's words, he immediately slapped his face: "I have to take a nap once in a while, okay?"

"Well……"

Dai Lin said nothing.

"Uh, what, uh, do you think u can get it over with in one go?"

Ye Ren raised his forehead and began to speak loudly: "Even the machine needs to be restarted occasionally, you guys, please obey me, otherwise I will let Honghe come over to persuade you, of course electrotherapy or knocking on the neck That’s fine, when the time comes, you choose.”

"I…"

Dai Lin opened her mouth. She originally wanted to say a few words of resistance, but before she could say anything, she accidentally spotted the white figure sneaking around at the entrance of the stairs. After thinking about it, she changed her mind and wanted to say something. If so, he lowered his head and said, "I do seem a little tired."

"It's right to be tired. If you are tired, you should rest and stay away from these messy things."

Ye Ren's electromagnetic senses of course detected Bai Mengmeng who was hiding behind him, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he showed a smiling expression: "Okay, now I'll give you a few minutes to deal with these things, and then Pack that mushroom, and I'll take you to the lair."

"Ugh?"

After hearing Ye Ren's words, Dai Lin was also taken aback.

"I'm not asking you to work, I'm asking you to take a good rest." Seeing Dai Lin's stunned expression, Ye Ren explained: "I just plan to go back later, and the lair will soon We are about to start building the base, and the experimental area is more important, so you can personally guide how to build it, and the experimental instruments in the succulent balls, I also need your help to refer to it."

"Is that so?"

After hearing Ye Ren's explanation, Dai Lin nodded subconsciously.

"Yes, yes." Ye Ren nodded, then turned around and walked towards the stairs: "Okay, I'll give you time for a song, Mengmeng, let's sing."

"Oh…"

Bai Mengmeng, who had been eavesdropping, responded directly, and then sang "The Relic of the Saint"...

Dai Lin packed things very quickly. After a few minutes, Dai Lin packed all the things and walked out of the basement.

After all, there are metal star marks ribbons to help clean up, so the speed will definitely not be slow.

"Finished?" Seeing Dai Lin walking out slowly, Ye Ren raised his head and glanced at the other party, and found that she had nothing on her but a transparent glass box, so he asked, "Just bring these thing?"

"Ah."

Dai Lin nodded: "There are three things that need to be tested in this incubator. I don't plan to bring anything other than these three for the time being."

"Oh, wait a minute then."

Ye Ren nodded, then turned his head and said to Bai Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, you will stay alone for a while, I don't think it will take too long, anyway, there is nothing urgent recently, pay attention All directions are good."

"I got it, idiot, don't worry."

Bai Mengmeng smiled at Ye Ren; "Remember to pick me up to the base early."

"It won't make you wait too long."

Seeing Bai Mengmeng's smile, Ye Ren responded with a smile, and then greeted Dai Lin: "Let's go, girl, go back to the lair."

"Um…"

Dai Lin was actually starting to feel a little tired now, so she responded without much energy, and then followed Ye Ren out.

As for the journey back, because of Ye Ren, it didn't actually take long.

During this journey, Ye Ren also exchanged and communicated with Dai Lin. Relying on the special favor brought by the authority of the giver, Ye Ren successfully opened Dai Lin's heart knot, but in fact, it was also related to Ye Ren himself. Thinking about the same, Dai Lin still couldn't let go of the fact that her parents were killed by the laboratory, but under Ye Ren's enlightenment, Dai Lin still let go of some burdens in her heart.

After letting go of her knots, Dai Lin finally couldn't bear the endless tiredness brought about by her body. She didn't even care that she was still in Ye Ren's hands, and fell asleep directly.

Even after Ye Ren returned to the worm's nest, Dai Lin didn't wake up.

"Boss!"

After seeing Ye Ren running back, the engineer who was covered in water ran back in a hurry, but after seeing Dai Lin in Ye Ren's arms, his expression suddenly changed: "This... this is... doctor injured?!"

"No, my sister is just asleep."

Hong He seemed to understand these things a little bit, and after walking over, he silently explained something to the engineer.

"That's right, she was indeed asleep." Ye Ren nodded, then handed Dai Lin directly to Hong He, and gave the order: "Take her to rest, she's been too tired lately."

"Yes, my lord."

Hong He responded, then turned and left.

"Okay, engineer, how is your work going?" After finishing Honghe and Dai Lin, Ye Ren also turned around and asked the engineer: "The things in the harbor are all Did you bring it in?"

"Boss, this project is a bit large, so it hasn't been completed yet."

The engineer reported honestly: "Because the expansion of the subsea tunnel must consider concealment, and there are indeed a lot of building materials, so I only completed the first step and built a wormhole channel for transporting materials. .”

"is it?"

Hearing what the engineer said, Ye Ren nodded, and did not blame the engineer: "You should take a rest first, I have something to do with finding the queen."

"Okay, boss."

The engineer nodded and prepared to leave.

"Wait." Ye Ren suddenly seemed to think of something, opened his mouth and stopped the engineer again.

"What's wrong, boss?"

The engineer asked a little puzzled.

"When I came here with Bai Mengmeng before, I should have brought back a batch of daily necessities, and some kitchen utensils. Let’s talk about the food in the lair.”

"Okay, boss, I understand."

After hearing Ye Ren's words, the engineer nodded: "The things are put in the warehouse, I'll deal with them now."

"Well, let's go."

Ye Ren waved his hand, this time there was really nothing to do, so he didn't stop the engineer.

"Okay, queen, now it's just the two of us left."

After the engineer left, Ye Ren glanced at the huge and pitch-black insect queen beside him, and smiled.

"Squeak~" Hearing Ye Ren's words, the worm queen called out affectionately, then stretched her head over and rubbed against Ye Ren's body. The last action is indeed like a docile kitten.

"good."

Ye Ren touched the smooth and warm head of the worm queen: "I have collected a little bit more than 2000 million evolution points, and it's time for you to become stronger again. How about it? Are you looking forward to it?"

[Father, I am very much looking forward to it. 】

The queen's pair of red crystal-like giant pupils shone with a look of great anticipation.

"Just look forward to it." Ye Ren smiled, then closed his eyes: "Just look forward to it."

After closing his eyes, Ye Ren thought about it.

[Evolution space. 】

The surrounding space quickly distorted, as if water vapor was filling the air. When everything became clear, everything turned into a piece of pure white.

"System, here I come again."

This time Ye Ren was in a good mood, returned to the evolutionary space, and even had the mood to say hello to the system.

"..." Of course, if there is no bird in the system, that's it.

"Okay, system, open the gene column of the insect queen's subsystem and let me take a closer look."

Seeing that the system was not in trouble, Ye Ren wisely did not continue talking, but went straight to business. A bright blue light curtain suddenly appeared in front of Ye Ren, marking all the information about the Queen of Worms on it. .

"call…"

Ye Ren took a deep breath: "It's finally time to upgrade to the queen, and I'm a little excited when I think about it."

But even though Ye Ren said so, before the evolution, Ye Ren took a careful look at the current attributes and genetic information of the queen.

Because the queen has not integrated the optimized genes created by Yeren before, it is actually not very strong. The third-level termite reproductive organs, the fourth-level dominance of the ant colony, and the third-level strengthening Gene, six-level crocodile fat gland, four-level accelerated oviposition, fourth-level burrowing horniness, third-level self-eating, fifth-level scorpion tail exoskeleton, fourth-level perpetual muscle, and third-level vibration perception , the second level of nutrient solution, the fourth level of air storage bags, the first level of insect wings, and the third level of brain utilization.

"I feel like except for brain utilization, everything else could be improved..."

Looking at these outdated genes, Ye Ren touched his chin and started talking to himself in the evolutionary space.
