super predator system

Chapter 551 Testing and Waiting

"Finally successful."

Seeing the huge larvae in front of him, Ye Ren's mouth showed a smile.

At this moment, what was crawling in front of Ye Ren was an extremely huge black larva. This larva was like a silkworm or a caterpillar, with a slightly enlarged abdomen and a length of more than ten meters. At first glance, it seemed to be about the same length as a fire dragon bug. But in fact this larvae is thicker and larger.

When Ye Ren created it, he didn't consider combat performance at all, so this larva was designed with only one purpose, and that purpose is self-evident, which is production.

The huge larva is covered with a thick layer of black hard armor. The thickness of this layer of carapace is even thicker than that of the Charizard Zerg, which perfectly wraps the larva itself, and removing this layer The carapace, this seemingly huge larva has almost no means of fighting against the enemy.

If you don't pay attention to the size, this larvae is actually very similar to some very fat larvae.

Ye Ren did not implant too many combat gene components in the body of this larva, whether it was the gene for the phosphide oxyacetylene compound space capsule, or the insect wing gene, or other compound combat arthropods, Ye Ren Rendu has not evolved at all.

Ye Ren only gave this larva a brain. The linked three-level brain utilization, coupled with the cloud computing power of the Hive Network, is enough to give this larva a strong IQ.

As for those genetic components used for reproduction or productivity, Ye Ren took special care of them.

The egg-laying organ, offspring strengthening, super-speed egg-laying, and two honey-melted fat glands are all precisely and ingeniously assembled inside the larvae's body by Yeren, and on the head far away from the abdominal cavity, Yeren is also The genetic components of the hive network are also implanted in the brain.

Of course, in order to allow this bulky and slow larva to barely move, Ye Ren more or less made a few pairs of jointed limbs, and apart from the three pairs of jointed limbs used to support the body, Ye Ren, the crazy digger Naturally, it is necessary to give the larva a pair of special joints for digging. Apart from digging, these joints really can't do anything else, at most they can only assist in eating or something.

"In theory, it should be almost the same, let's test it again."

Ye Ren lowered his head and pondered for a while, and finally chose to use the test function of creating space to test the efficiency and performance of this zerg.

The result isn't particularly ideal, but it's not terrible either.

"Sure enough, some of my guesses correspond to it." Seeing the two completely different zerg in front of him, Ye Ren touched his chin as if talking to himself, a flash of clarity flashed in his eyes, and there were many thoughts in his heart. The confusion was also naturally resolved.

At this moment, there were two Zerg in front of Zai Yeren.

One of them was modeled after a worm queen, wearing black armor, with a ferocious aura, sharp jointed limbs and jaws, spouting flames from time to time, making it extremely dangerous.

The latter is a harmless larva. Although its body is still huge, it doesn't look like it has much lethality.

And right now, there are a lot of zerg densely packed behind the two female worms.

However, if you observe with the naked eye, there are obviously not many Zergs based on queens, but there are quite a lot more Zergs based on larvae. According to rough statistics, the number of Zergs is at least 30% more.

"The only difference between the larval mother and the queen mother is the selection of genes..."

Ye Ren habitually meditated and speculated on several uncertain conclusions based on his own ideas: "I did not completely integrate the larvae's genes, but only integrated the parts I needed. At the same time, I used creation The space has been adjusted, making its belly larger and its structure more rational."

"And the queen." Ye Ren focused his attention on the queen-type female insect.

"Because I added all the genes, and its reproductive organs are not as large as larvae. Although the structure is still reasonable, there is not much space available."

"if it is like this…"

Ye Ren frowned, he didn't know what he was thinking of, and suddenly put down the research on the two female worms in front of him, and immediately began to fabricate another zerg.

This is a zerg that is no different from the cockroach-type zerg in any way, but Yeren created it without its air bladder.

Then, Ye Ren gave orders to the two virtual insect queens.

"Go all out to produce this new zerg."

After issuing such an order, the two female worms immediately started to do it, because the creation space itself is used by the system for calculation and debugging, so it is okay for Ye Ren to not comply with the rules. Soon the two females began to mass-produce the new zerg.

"The speed is a little faster than the speed of producing cockroach-type clumps, but it is not very obvious."

After observing carefully for a while, Ye Ren also used the timer generated out of thin air in the creative space to find out some places that attracted his attention, and at the same time confirmed a conclusion.

"The more complex the gene, the longer the production time?"

Ye Ren said, and casually erased the new zerg, and then created a zerg that had the same genes as the cockroach-type zerg, was about the same size, but had an extremely complex structure, and conducted some tests.

"Well...complex structure will also extend the production time."

After getting the conclusion again, Ye Ren nodded. From this point of view, the size of the body also determines the production speed, that is to say, the production speed of the female insect will be determined according to three factors, namely the complexity of the gene, The complexity of the structure, and the size of the body.

The simpler the structure, the simpler the genes, and the smaller the Zerg, the faster it will be produced.

Of course, there may be some hidden factors that Ye Ren is not aware of yet, but that is a story for another day.

There are two things that Ye Ren can verify now. One of them is that the production speed of the insect queen is related to the zerg itself, and the other is that the production speed of the insect queen itself is also related to its structure.

"It's a little troublesome..."

Ye Ren frowned slightly, although he had already guessed some of this speculation at the beginning, but if it is true, there are still some places that are difficult to deal with.

For example, the insect queen who has always maintained a strong combat effectiveness.

Theoretically speaking, Yeren can debug the queen, that is to say, Yeren can completely cancel the combat effectiveness of the queen, completely cancel those complex structures and phosphide oxyacetylene compound space capsule genes, and even store them when necessary. The airbags and worm wings are also discarded, and it is completely turned into a production machine. In this way, the production speed can be increased by at least one third.

However, if this happens, the insect queen will lose all ability to resist. Once the nest is damaged, the insect queen will not be able to escape or fight through individual strength, and can only wait for death in despair.

Ye Ren was tempted by the powerful benefits brought by the first option, but the income was also directly proportional to the risks. Ye Ren had to carefully consider the gains and losses.

"There is no specific reference for the production speed of the female worm here. Otherwise, you can see how different it is from the queen."

Touching his chin, Ye Ren frowned and thought for a while, and finally decided to go out first.

"Forget it, for now, my idea is to focus on development rather than war. The mother worm is hidden deep underground or deep under the sea. In theory, it should not be too threatened. Let's ensure the speed of development first. ."

Ye Ren finally chose the larva-like female worm. Anyway, he can cancel this type of unit in the future and recreate a new female worm that is more suitable for the Zerg, so of course he chose the larval-like female worm with a faster production speed. Moreover, Ye Ren still has a special idea that has not been implemented, and this idea will only work after going out.

With a thought, Ye Ren had already given an order to the system.

[Exit the evolution space. 】

The surrounding space quickly distorted and became blurred, as if a large amount of water vapor suddenly transpired and diffused, and when this special blur gradually disappeared, Ye Ren had also returned to the insect nest.

[Queen, try to produce a new Zerg egg. 】

Ye Ren moved towards the direction where the queen was, and at the same time directly used the mind link to contact the queen.

【Okay, my lord. 】

The queen didn't say much, but quietly obeyed the order.

Soon, Ye Ren came to the edge of the worm's nest, which is some distance away from the sea, but because of the underground river, the worm queen can directly produce roving sea worms here, and directly lay eggs Just throw it into the rushing water. Once these sea worms are born, they can link into the nest network, locate and enter the ocean along the underground river.

However, although Ye Ren arrived very soon this time, he did not wait for what he wanted.

【Father, what exactly is the new Zerg? 】

There was a hint of doubt in the Queen's tone.

"Oh, it's a secondary queen that can reproduce and dominate the Zerg, what's wrong?" Ye Ren glanced at the expression of the queen, and calmly explained: "Don't worry, they won't betray you, and The role of these secondary queens is only to produce, which is different from yours."

【...Is this so? 】

A strange look flashed across the red crystal-like insect compound eyes of the queen: 【It turns out that it is used to give birth to offspring, no wonder it happened like this. Since it was my father's intention, I will do my best to give birth. 】

"Ok?"

Ye Ren keenly noticed the Queen's words: "No wonder what happened?"

[When making eggs, I felt that it needed to consume an almost unimaginable amount of nutrients for cell division. This was very different from all the Zergs I had produced before. I was puzzled, so I asked my father. 】

"Oh, like this."

Ye Ren nodded. It seemed like it was indeed the case. The production speed of production-type zerg would probably be much slower.

Thinking of this, Ye Ren raised his head and asked, "Queen, how long do you think it will take for this egg to be produced?"

[I don't know. 】

The insect queen answered seriously: [I'm afraid it will be difficult to produce it in one day. 】

"Ok?"

Hearing what the worm queen said, Ye Ren began to get serious: "Is there any problem with nutrition?"

"Squeak~"

The insect queen chirped softly at this.

[Father, the nest space has already stored a large amount of nutrients for use. Although it may take a lot of time and nutrients to produce this egg, I think the reserves of nutrients are sufficient. 】

"Well, then you go all out to produce. I happen to have nothing to do, so I'm waiting for you here."

Ye Ren nodded and had no intention of leaving the Insect Queen.

Anyway, I still have three kinds of Zergs that I can create. Ye Ren feels that he should not be able to relax. No matter how bad he is, he can chat with the Queen of Zergs, or take a nap or something, because after careful calculation, he seems to have a long time It doesn't look like I'm sleeping seriously, so it's okay to relax a little bit.

Thinking of this, Ye Ren was not in a hurry to see the eggs of the mother worm, but first found a stone, cut out a plane with his star-scar bone blade, and then sat on it.

Just when Ye Ren was still thinking about some unexplained things, a small group of engineer-type insects crawled out of each cave one after another, holding some crystals of different colors in their mouths and heading towards them. After catching the insect, he handed it over.

"Huh? This is?"

Ye Ren's attention was obviously attracted by the things in the mouths of these zerg.

【Father, this is the nutrient crystallization I made. 】

Seeing Ye Ren's doubts, the queen also explained.

"Oh?" Ye Ren stretched out his hand, and immediately two or three engineering zergs held the nutrient crystals in their mouths and handed them to Ye Ren's hand.

Ye Ren used electromagnetic vision and his own original vision to observe carefully and found that these three palm-sized nutrient crystals were actually very beautiful. It felt like they were just for eating, but they were unexpectedly crystal clear without a trace of impurities. Mixed inside, two of them are red and one is green. These three nutrient crystals are all oval-shaped and seem to be very dense. Ye Ren can feel that these three nutrient crystals have a heavy texture when he holds them in his hand. .

Of course, it's just based on an ordinary person's point of view. After all, it's no problem for Ye Ren to kick a tank away.

"It feels like...it can be used directly as an accessory, right?"

Ye Ren stared at the translucent nutrient crystal in his hand, and began to think about whether he should give Mengmeng or Dai Lin a bracelet or ring.

You can take it with you to play at ordinary times, and eat it directly when you are hungry.

"Well, thinking about it this way seems a little crazy, but anyway, we have to taste it first." Ye Ren touched his chin, then opened his mouth and gnawed at a red crystal.
