Chapter 544 Test
"Ah."

Dai Lin nodded, and then went directly into the interior of the fungus cave. Naturally, he immediately saw the fungus plant in the center of the cave.

Except for the fungus plant, there are still no hairs in other places.

"It's already mature." After Dai Lin entered the fungus cave, she squatted in front of the fungus plant and began to observe carefully.

As for Ye Ren, naturally he will not continue to observe the fungus plant. Anyway, he has seen this kind of thing a long time ago, so he directly communicated with the queen by using the mind link.

[Queen, what did you do to that little mushroom? 】

Ye Ren asked directly.

[Father, what is a little mushroom? 】

Of course, the insect queen couldn't understand Ye Ren's words, so she asked with some confusion.

[Oh, that’s right, that’s the cave I asked you to open up. There’s a fungus plant in it. I saw an engineer-type zerg go in and grab the wart fruit that grew on it, so I wanted to ask you if it’s right. What did that fungus do? 】

Ye Ren was silent on the surface, but he had already asked the queen in his heart.

[Is that it? 】

The Queen of Zerg agreed, and then admitted: [My father told me before, and told me that the plant will be the source of food in the future, so I specially ordered the Zerg to water more insect honey as a nutrient. 】

[So that's it, go ahead, I'm fine. 】

Ye Ren nodded subconsciously, then cut off the spiritual link, walked directly in front of Dai Lin, and explained to her: "Okay, basically I have found the root of the problem, would you like to listen to it? "

"Tell me. "

Dai Lin raised her head and glanced at Ye Ren.

"Well, it's really nothing." Ye Ren shrugged: "I told the queen before that it would produce its food source in the future, so after we left, this fungus received special care from the queen and absorbed A large amount of nutrient solution, although I don't know where the upper limit of this thing's absorption is, but in short, the general thing is like this."

"...It turns out that the queen used a large amount of insect honey to ripen the fungus?"

Dai Lin nodded subconsciously. She also knew in her heart that the worm queen is not a real worm, but a highly intelligent life form, so it is not impossible for the other party to do such a thing: "Well...if you receive a lot of Forcibly instilling nutrients, the growth rate of this kind of fungus will indeed be much faster, but because it is not worth the loss, I have no intention of doing this, but I did not expect that the queen has seen through this point, I thought the here What ingredients in the soil can make the growth rate of the fungus faster."

"So sometimes things are not very complicated, and there is no need to drill into a dead end."

Ye Ren smiled, and then asked: "But it seems that the fungus plant should be almost mature now, should we plant it in several waves?"

"of course."

Dai Lin nodded, and then with a thought, two metal ribbons transformed from star marks stretched out from her cuffs, and cut the fungus in a wave.

Ye Ren observed Dai Lin's movements very carefully, and found that this guy was really cutting at random, and cut off about five or six palm-length purple-black sticks on the main fungus plant.

In fact, these sticks are nothing more than the stems or silks of fungal plants.

Here is a brief introduction to the general shape of the fungus plant, because the fungus plant is not a pure fungus or plant, its life form is very strange, there is not even a single leaf on the whole plant, and it looks like a big group from a distance. The slightly thicker black-purple things, these things are intertwined and aggregated together, and these soft black-purple hyphae, um... let’s call them hyphae first, this kind of hyphae is not only intertwined and intertwined, but also It also penetrated deeply into the ground and split into smaller roots to absorb the meager nutrients in the rock formations.

At this moment, Dai Lin just cut off some hyphae that could be cut off, because these hyphae were actually very tightly intertwined and difficult to separate at all. Then after cutting them off, Dai Lin used her own The metal ribbon was rolled up hard, and the pressure squeezed the mycelium into pieces.

Then, Dai Lin used the star marks ribbon to evenly divide these fragments into several parts and sprinkled them in the fungal cavity.

"Is that done?"

Ye Ren glanced at the fragments of fungus plants that had been cut to pieces on the ground, and asked a question.

"Of course." Dai Lin nodded: "As long as they are watered with some nutrient solution to ensure their growth, there shouldn't be any other problems."

As she said that, Dai Lin's ribbon was stretched out, ready to pour the nutrient solution on the ground.

"Wait..."

Ye Ren waved his hand, interrupting Dai Lin's behavior this time, and then under the latter's suspicious gaze, he directly explained: "You don't need to do this, I will contact the queen for a while, anyway In the future, this fungus hole must also be taken care of, we don’t have time to watch the growth of this thing 24 hours a day, are you right?”

"Well, that's true."

Dai Lin thought for a while, and felt that what Ye Ren said was indeed reasonable, so she nodded subconsciously: "Although this thing is theoretically a product of failure, its vitality is indeed very tenacious, even if I don't take care of it myself There shouldn't be any problem."

"So just let it go."

After Ye Ren heard Dai Lin's words, he said something first, and then used the mind link to communicate with the queen, and asked the other party to call a few engineer-type zergs to take care of...or to guard these fungal plants.

Soon, the zerg assigned by the queen arrived at the cave.

And Ye Ren found that the size of these engineer-type zergs is obviously much larger than the original zergs. It is clear without thinking that the Queen probably specially produced a batch of new-type engineer zergs and put them into the management of the fungal cavity. middle.

Looking at the engineer zerg, which was only a circle larger than a medium-sized dog (golden retriever, husky), Ye Ren also knew in his heart that the queen of the zerg really valued the fungus plant very much.

"Squeak ~ Goo ~"

A few engineer-type zergs had just entered the cave, and they had already clearly realized what they should do. They walked up to the scattered fungus plants, opened their jaws slightly, and the nutrient solution began to flow out from inside. , watered on the surface of those fungal plants.

After absorbing nutrients, the fragments of these fungal plants also began to slowly change.

Being soaked in the nectar with extremely high nutrient content, these fungi began to squirm in the nectar visible to the naked eye, as if they had some kind of life of their own. Some germs slowly grow on the shredded or squeezed gaps. It is because these germs are growing slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and occasionally hit the ground or other debris, so they are wriggling.

"This nutrient solution..."

Compared with Ye Ren's interest in observing the fungus plant at the moment, Dai Lin became interested in the nectar secreted by the engineer zerg.

I don't know what's going on, but the color of the nutrient solution secreted by the engineer-type zerg is different this time. The colors of the nutrient solution secreted by several engineer-type zerg are completely different, some are blood red, some are light green, and some are blood-red. Amber and transparent in color, even Ye Ren is a little unclear exactly why.

"What happened to the nutrient solution?" Hearing Dai Lin's words, Ye Ren thought that the other party had discovered something, so he asked.

"... "

Dai Lin didn't answer directly, but walked to the side of the engineering zerg, stretched out a finger and lightly dipped some insect honey, the crystal clear insect honey hung on her slender and slender fingers, and then Dai Lin He stretched out his small tongue and licked it lightly, closing his eyes as if he was savoring something.

Five minutes later, Dai Lin opened her eyes.

"The nutrient concentration has increased a lot, and there are many minerals and nutrients that were not there before."

Dai Lin's expression was a little surprised. She looked at Ye Ren, whose expression didn't change. She already had some points in her heart, so she asked directly, "Did you do this?"

"Ah."

Of course Ye Ren agreed.

"Magical ability." Dai Lin said with a sigh, but although she was still surprised, in fact, Dai Lin has almost adapted to Ye Ren's creative method, so it is just a little sigh at the moment, by the way : "Can I bring some samples for research? The birth-stimulating effect of this thing seems to be much stronger than the original nutrient solution."

"random."

Ye Ren smiled: "You can just do such small things yourself, you don't have to ask me for instructions every time."

"Hmm..." Dai Lin nodded slightly.

"Okay, the matter is almost clear, the problem is caused by the queen's nutrient solution."

While talking, Ye Ren touched the head of the engineering zerg who passed by him, but for some reason, Dai Lin felt that this guy was laughing and stroking the dog's head, and then, Ye Ren put He took his hand back: "Since the catalysis of the queen's nutrient solution exceeds the budget, the cultivation and planting of the bacteria is also much easier. This should be regarded as good news."

"That's right, judging by this speed, it won't take long for the fungal cavity to fully form."

Dai Lin also nodded.

"I'm going to look for the queen, what about you?" Now that he figured out the reason, Ye Ren naturally had no reason to stay in the bacteria hole, so Ye Ren took the initiative to ask Dai Lin.

"I'll go back and continue to observe the virus experiment."

Dai Lin replied.

"Well, I won't bother you." Ye Ren nodded, then waved his hand, and left the fungus hole, walking towards the center of the insect nest.

With Ye Ren's speed, he naturally reached the center of the insect nest very quickly.

"Queen of bugs, how's the job of replacing the old and new bugs going?" Ye Ren couldn't wait to ask the moment he saw the huge body of the bug queen.

"Squeak~" The Insect Queen chirped softly, and then spoke using the psychic link.

[Father, the replacement work has only been completed in a very small part, because the number of zerg in the nest is not small, and even if my production speed is maximized, I cannot complete the replacement in a short period of time . 】

"It's okay, don't worry about this."

Hearing the worried and fearful tone of the queen worm, Ye Ren waved his hand: "I'm here this time to tell you something else."

"squeak?"

The worm queen let out a suspicious voice.

"Before I created two kinds of Zerg, and I plan to let you produce them first. I will also take a look at the specific parameters, and test things by the way." Even though the Queen of Zerg does not use the soul link to communicate, Ye Ren still understands each other Meaning: "I also want to test some specific performance of the insect nest network, this is relatively difficult, so I will let it go for now."

[Father, so what I need to do now is to produce two new kinds of children, right? 】

The insect queen asked.

"That's right, I call them the Sea Zerg and the Transport Zerg respectively."

[Okay, I will start production now. 】

The queen didn't care what Ye Ren called the two Zergs. In fact, it had nothing to do with it. So after producing an egg of another Zerg, the abdomen began to wriggle again, ready to produce Ye Ren. The two zerg that Ren needs come.

"Well... let's produce a few traveling sea worms first. The transport worms are too big to move."

Ye Ren touched his chin, and started to give orders.

【Okay, my lord. 】

The insect queen responded, her abdomen immediately began to squirm, and then she produced an insect egg almost in the blink of an eye.

"Huh? So fast?"

Ye Ren also froze for a moment. It only took a second or two. Sure enough, the production of small and not particularly powerful units such as roving sea worms is fast?
It's like the conscripts in the Red Police.

Well, digressing.

In short, the topic returned to Ye Ren again. He was also a little surprised at the moment. He walked over and took the initiative to pick up the black eggshell, which was not as big as a ping-pong ball, and then carefully looked at it.

It didn't take long for the egg shell to burst open, and a clear and slightly viscous liquid flowed out, and the sea worm also appeared in front of Ye Ren.

"Gee~"

The newly born little sea insect chirped softly at Ye Ren.

"Hmm... It's no different from what I imagined." Ye Ren carefully observed this sea worm. Although the body structure of the sea worm may be very powerful in the water, this is the ground after all, so at this moment this little sea worm can't do it at all. Standing up, lying in Ye Ren's hands all the time.

"Queen, follow me to the ocean channel."

Seeing the sea worm the size of a ping-pong ball in his hand gradually become the size of a palm, Ye Ren didn't say much, after all, he couldn't see whether it was in the mouth on the shore, so Ye Ren gave an order and planned to Take the Queen to the bay first, planning to produce the transport zerg first.
