Create a swarm technology tree in Konoha

Aburame Tetsumaru had no objection to the idea of ​​a cannon.

He has been sneaking here for a long time. After provoking a war with the Zerg, he was the first to be involved in the war.

In the eleven years since the war began, Marine Tetsumaru Aburome was forced to station in the border system, traveling to different planets, meteorite belts, nebula cores, and space stations, fighting various Zerg species.

Most of the time, he can only wear heavy mobile armor and fight in vacuum and microgravity environments. He can only take off his armor on a battleship or transport ship during the transition after winning the battle.

In four years, Aburame Tetsumaru participated in seven large-scale battles, with the human side winning three and losing two.

The other two games ended with the battlefield completely destroyed, and the entire battlefield area turned into a horrific natural disaster. They were considered draws.

Aburame Tetsumaru led the Marines to fight 113 times in seven battles, and won all of them!

It can only be a complete victory.

The origin of the Zerg is the devouring of genes, but the basic tactics in combat are the sea of ​​​​worms.

The brood reproduces endless bugs, exhausting the enemy's ammunition, energy and strength, and then drowning the enemy.

This time it was even more exaggerated. The vast majority of the insect swarms participating in the attack were free, driven by their devoured nature to fight.

Fighting against such completely disordered bugs is actually not too stressful, after all, they can kill many bugs by themselves.

But the result of failure is very bad, that is, being devoured. Only by winning the battle can one survive.

Faced with the disordered bugs, Aburame Tetsumaru found that the stopping effect was more effective than the density of firepower.

Because they have been uncontrolled for a long time, the instinctive reaction of the bugs begins to take over, and the injured bugs will become even crazier. However, when a certain number of the same kind around the bugs die, the smell of the bugs' body fluids will cause the bug swarm to retreat.

Killing the current bugs as quickly as possible is far more effective than suppressing the bugs on a large scale.

So the Marine Corps put forward a suggestion for weapon replacement. They needed a larger-caliber weapon, preferably a black, long and thick one that could shatter the Hydralisk with one shot, as long as the mecha could carry the load.

It's a pity that no one paid attention to them. No one knew how to deal with the Marines who were cannon fodder.

Moreover, it is not difficult to change one or two weapons. There are a large number of mechanics in the army and civilians, and they can easily modify such small things.

But the Marine Corps has as many as two billion soldiers. Such large-scale changes in production are different. Even the steel pipe castings in the steel mills have to be changed.

The level of automation of the human race is too high, but the education system has collapsed too much. There are not enough engineers and workers to maintain the equipment. It is impossible to change the automated factory data.

The first negative consequence of the feudalization of social order is that large-scale industrial production loses its initiative.

However, the weapons in Aburame Tetsumaru's hands have still changed. After all, we are on the battlefield, and it is not difficult to remove the cannon and ammunition from the crashed fighter plane.

Biochemical soldiers have no initiative, but natural officers are not so rigid. They can ignore such "small" military regulations in order to survive.

The weapons in the hands of veteran Marines are getting larger and larger in caliber, and the ammunition is getting more and more convincing.

Aburame Tetsumaru now uses the standard machine gun as a self-defense weapon. His main weapon is a self-modified 60 smoothbore cannon with only three rounds of ammunition. It looks like some kind of strange giant revolver.

This weapon looks crudely made, with no paint from beginning to end, and the metal surface is also pitted, but its power is absolutely satisfying.

This thing can be used for sniping, loaded with forty millimeter-caliber armor-piercing bullets, and can cut the body of a Hydralisk in two from a thousand meters away.

This big guy can also be used for close-range cleaning. Using a grenade loaded with forty-two large steel balls, one blow can instantly turn four or five springtails into a bloody mist. Three consecutive rounds can cover a area more than two hundred meters wide. , the insects fifty meters deep were cleared.

Ammunition supply is also convenient, after all, most of them are standard unloaded ammunition.

When Aburame Tetsumaru became familiar with the air force on a battlefield, he could exchange the distributed cigarettes, liquor and narcotics with the ground handlers.

Aburame Iron Pill never smokes, rarely drinks alcohol, and definitely does not take narcotics.

Under his leadership, the natural soldiers in the company were relatively restrained, so they were able to save a lot of good stuff. A few boxes of cigarettes could be exchanged for a truck full of ammunition.

Yes, after fighting the war for eleven years, Aburame Tetsumaru was still essentially a company commander, in charge of the one hundred and twenty natural marines.

Of course, the total number of this battle group is 12,000 to 15,000, but the more than 10,000 biochemical soldiers attached to it are not counted as people, but expendable "equipment".

There are many materials needed to maintain a natural person, including carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, alcohol, tea, coffee, cigarettes, sugar, etc.

Cyborgs only need nutritional supplements mixed with an excessive amount of anti-inflammatory drugs and anti-rejection drugs, as well as sleeping pills during rest and hallucinogens during combat.

The latter two medicaments are stored in the mobile armor, and a full charge at the time of appearance can satisfy two years of use. Very few bionic marines can persist until the second replenishment.

Even during the fierce war, the bionic marines shipped from the factory only contained one-quarter to one-fifth of the medicine in the mecha, because their lives could rarely last that long.

Because it really saves money, the top management has tried to organize an all-cyborg marine force more than once, but they have been taught a terrible lesson every time they tried.

After the Marines enter the battlefield, under the command of experienced natural men, they can easily defeat one against a hundred, but the pure biochemical army and the insect swarm can only be one for one.

After all, both sides are idiots who have no brains and rely solely on instinct to fight.

But the advantage of human beings has never been instinct, nor physical strength, nor rebound speed.

Cyborgs are very cheap, and maintenance is even cheaper, but a hundred cyborgs are ultimately more expensive than one natural human, and they are much, much more expensive.

Therefore, Marine commanders like Aburame Tetsumaru were not eliminated from the battlefield, but he also felt the degradation of human society.

Even with the stimulation of war, the smell of corruption became unconcealable.

One after another, "commanders" who had never entered the battlefield were promoted and became generals with full merits based on Aburame Tetsumaru's military exploits, and he had been the company commander for eleven years.

But it's not that the superior officers didn't know him. In fact, Aburame Tetsumaru was a celebrity in the entire war zone, even more famous than the commander of the war zone.

Normally, Aburame Tetsumaru only commands more than 10,000 people, but on the battlefield, during the intense chaos, he will be ordered by his superiors to review all the information about the battle, make suggestions, design contingency tactics, and write tactical reports, campaign plans, etc. wait.

In fact, the number of marines under Aburame Tetsumaru's indirect command exceeded 600 million at the most, which is why he has been able to survive to this day.

After mastering the situation in the entire star system and designing the entire human race's ground battle tactics, Aburame Tetsumaru designed a safer mission for his troops. Is it difficult?

Is it difficult for his carefully designed security mission to make those stupid officers and generals who don't understand basic tactics look dangerous?

Therefore, Aburame Tetsumaru has lived to this day and has become the longest living giant below the commander of the army. It is said that the second one has only been in the war for five years.

Although he has become a legend, even though the top management already knows the story of Jim Leno, no one is willing to promote the small soldiers. Every extra position is important, and of course it must be given to his own people.

The biggest problem of the feudal system is uncontrolled factional disputes. There are countless factions under each warlord, and each faction also has small factions, large and small.

The leader of a faction rarely has an absolutely dominant power position in his own faction. He must fight for the interests of the faction and win the support of everyone in order to ensure his power and status.

Such a layered power structure cannot allow people to compete for it, nor can it tolerate any outside talent joining.

Powerful factions do not need to absorb talents. If they do, they will not be able to arrange positions or adjust the balance of power and interests.

The declining factions are eager to absorb talents, but the internal repulsion has decreased. The squeeze from hostile factions will not give them time, and their power and interests are taken away without time to adjust.

The disorderly and irregular struggle for power leads to competition where the main ability is unlimited squeezing, rather than merit and the ability to handle actual affairs.

If things go on like this, the higher-level organizers will increasingly lack practical operational capabilities, and they will also form groups to exclude people who can solve problems, leading to a situation where bad money drives out good money.

This is also the reason why the eleven-year war has reduced the size of the insect swarm to one-tenth of what it was before the war began, but the pressure of the war felt by the human race has not weakened at all.

When the competition and selection mechanisms are wrong, the elimination mechanism of war will change, and people with strong actual combat ability will be eliminated in reverse, and the combat effectiveness of the human race's army will decline faster.

Although the number of insect swarms dropped sharply to less than 10%, and the size of the human army was slightly larger than before the war, the war gradually reached a stalemate.

These Zerg are stragglers abandoned by their masters. They fight solely on instinct. Their combat effectiveness can be said to be at the bottom of the valley.

While the numerical advantage of the human army is getting larger and larger, it is unable to gain greater and greater battlefield advantages, and is even getting further and further away from victory in the war. This proves that the organizational strength of the army is collapsing.

Unless the chaos of the collapse reaches a certain level, Aburame Tetsumaru will not be able to get the chance to be promoted.

None of the descendants lurking in the human race went well. The situation of Cannon and Uchiha Itachi was slightly better, but they only entered the middle level and felt obvious obstacles to promotion and encountered the ceiling of promotion.

In comparison, Aburame Tetsumaru in the insect swarm has made rapid progress. His three thinking cores have been integrated into the Overlord's bodyguards, and are even running around inside the Overlord's body.

The only problem is tiredness. The Overlord of the Zerg Race really lives up to his name. As long as all the bugs under his direct control are not dead, they have to run around all the time to help the Overlord deal with problems in the promotion process.

It can perfectly balance the consumption of insects, achieve the best balance between death time and labor intensity, and save the energy consumption of the insect swarm to the maximum extent.

The three Aburame Tetsumaru were all very distressed by this, so they could only steal the information glands of new-born bugs at regular intervals and pretend to be new-born bugs.

This high-frequency metabolism of the insect swarm is deliberately maintained by the master as a means to prevent the emergence of independent consciousness among his subordinates.

A single intelligent body, while promoting its own evolution, can actually command nearly 20 billion insect swarms, manipulating the insects to run twenty-nine star systems, involving more than sixty planets, and dozens of large and small material belts.

The ability displayed by the insect swarm master is astonishing, and is undoubtedly close to that of a god. Naturally, Aburame Tetsumaru feels inferior to him.

But the Overlord is no longer the former supreme ruler, the brainworm. Its promotion will not only make the Overlord's ability more powerful, but its own role will also change from handling specific affairs to making decision-making judgments.

During this long process of competitive advancement, the Overmind must overpower its subordinate processing cores and have to assume full control of all bugs.

No matter how self-disciplined the 20 billion bugs are, a massive number of decision-making matters will emerge every moment, occupying a large part of the master's computing power.

In order to improve the processing speed, it records every new event experienced and uses it as a standard for subsequent similar events, so as to save judgment time and calculation amount.

As a result, the entire insect swarm operated smoothly, but it inevitably seemed a bit rigid and showed strong regularity.

After Aburame Tetsumaru confirmed the rules, he naturally began to use these rules to continuously improve his priority in the insect swarm and enter the body of the master step by step.

Moreover, Aburame Tetsumaru and the others also confirmed the biggest loophole in the master's management of the insect swarm:

[As long as it is not discovered, there is no trap no matter how simple it is. 】

The Overlord has to manage upgrades, manage 20 billion bugs, manage dozens of planets, and run a large number of bug swarms to detect the movements of the human race.

Unconsciously, it squeezes its own capabilities to the limit, and no longer has the ability to discover new and unidentified problems.

Only when these problems become extremely destructive and attract the attention of a large number of bugs can the problem be reported to the master.

In other words, as long as the concealment is good enough, there is no problem at all in burying a few nuclear bombs.

Of course, nuclear bombs will definitely not work.

Materials used in nuclear weapons must have attenuated radiation. All kinds of radiation are very difficult to deal with, and no matter how well the insulation is, thermal radiation cannot be blocked.

Especially easy to be discovered by insects.

Aburame Tetsumaru chose the human race's vacuum implosion bomb. The specific function of this thing has almost no connection with the name. It is essentially an anti-matter bomb.

Confining a little bit of antimatter through vacuum and space collapse.

Antimatter is about sixty grams of negative protons. Because of the characteristics of antimatter, the mass is calculated and will not be too accurate.

These pure single protons can be regarded as hydrogen elements, appearing as loose metal powders, squeezed together by the collapse of space.

The shell of the bomb is made of transparent glass. Through the glass, you can clearly see the changes in light caused by the collapse of space.

This is a super weapon in the human arsenal that is far more powerful than nuclear weapons, but it is not a conventional weapon that can be used in combat.

Because vacuum implosion bombs are too uncontrollable, not only are they unstable in transportation and use, but they are also easily interfered with when launched, and the possibility of harming yourself is much higher than harming the enemy.

Therefore, this powerful weapon can only be used for blasting.

However, it is not suitable for the harsh preservation conditions of the battlefield, cannot withstand militarized transportation and delivery, and is easily triggered automatically during transportation and launch.

It's another thing when this kind of weapon is secretly manufactured within the insect swarm and then hidden on the spot.

After Aburame Tetsumaru figured out part of the master's body structure, the first structure he found was the antimatter transportation channel. This was also the fundamental reason for choosing the vacuum implosion bomb.

Now four years have passed, and the three Aburame Tetsumaru's thinking cores have cooperated to create four thousand vacuum implosion bombs in the master's body.

Now Aburame Tetsumaru has to speed up the progress, because the quality of the first batch of bombs he made is not stable. After three to five months, even if they do not detonate actively, they may explode on their own.

Before that, Aburame Tetsumaru must find the mind core of the master and prepare for theft after destroying the body.
