Gamers Are Fierce

After throwing the debris into the crusher, Li Ang walked out of the alchemy workshop.

The automated pet breeding box is as peaceful as ever, with warm sunshine and green trees.

Swarms of bees fly above the tree canopy, feeding on tree sap.

Brain worms and worker worms work in the cultivated land, sowing seeds, spraying water, harvesting mature potions, and rough processing of potions in the temporary workshop next to the cultivated land.

It feels a bit crowded.

Li Ang glanced at the breeding box and frowned slightly.

The reproduction of insect swarms now mainly relies on the queen bee and the insect nest.

The bee colonies that Li Ang bought on the online shopping platform were just the most common Chinese honeybees.

After hundreds of rounds of iterations, the bee colony has completely lost its original appearance. It is no longer limited to the order Hymenoptera, the subclass Pterozoa, and the class Insecta, and some of them have even left the category of the phylum Arthropoda.

There is nothing we can do about this.

Although insects such as the Palawan giant stag beetle and the giant stag beetle are invincible among creatures of the same size and have evolved their combat power to the extreme,

But the limitations of arthropods are still too great.

The chitin exoskeleton limits its size, and it needs to shed its skin every once in a while.

The open-tube circulation system determines the slow transport efficiency of nutrients and metabolites.

In addition, there are inefficient respiratory systems and locomotor systems. These factors determine that the size of insects cannot be enlarged at will.

If the swarm is to be adapted to battles between extraordinary beings, it must be modified.

Evolving the open-tube circulatory system into a closed-circuit system allows blood to always flow in the loop formed by blood vessels and the heart, making the circulation more efficient and faster.

Retain the chitin exoskeleton and divide it into multiple components so that it can be shed regularly without affecting immediate combat effectiveness.

At the junction of the chitin exoskeleton, more valves are opened up,

Connected to a closed-tube circulation system to improve breathing efficiency.

A skeletal system evolved, with lightweight bones in the joints and limbs, increased muscle density, and a spine.

And according to the spine,

Transform the centralized chain nervous system of arthropods into a tubular central nervous system,

to increase nerve signal conduction speed.

(The centralized chain nervous system of insects is inherited from the cordate nervous system of annelids. It is relatively primitive and inefficient. If there are large insects, its reaction speed will be very slow.)

After such a set of transformations, many four different species have appeared in the bee colony.

Some scout wasps are more like birds covered in a layer of chitin armor than insects.

The swarm still retains its previous three classes,

Queen bee, soldier bee, worker bee.

The queen bee, with an average body length of nearly one meter, lives above the tree canopy and can lay thousands of eggs every day.

These eggs will be taken by the worker bees to the southeast corner of the automated pet breeding box and placed around the Abyss Mirror.

Let the newly born insect eggs receive the radiation from the abyss magic mirror - the magic mirror has the special effect of [compensatory alienation], which can mutate the surrounding living creatures.

Among the thousands of insect eggs, about nine hundred will die directly due to excessive mutation.

Only a hundred can hatch normally.

These one hundred newborn larvae will be taken into a simple hive nearby by worker bees to be fed and raised to observe the mutation status.

After a period of time, the mutation will be basically stable, and the surviving larvae will be reviewed by Li Ang or the brain worms.

If the mutant traits are beneficial, the larvae will be retained for further observation.

If the mutant traits have no potential, they will be cultivated into ordinary worker bees, or they will be directly eliminated and recycled to save biomass and space inside the breeding box.

And the same is true for the insect swarm,

Under the influence of Leon and the Abyss Mirror, they got rid of the limitations of Nemertea and had stronger movement systems, circulatory systems, and respiratory systems.

Originally, nemertea were able to reproduce asexually by dividing, giving birth to two children and two to three.

But with advanced evolutionary features such as bones, asexual reproduction is somewhat less applicable.

In the end, Li Ang decided to use the [compensatory alienation] function of the Abyss Mirror to evolve a building-like insect swarm organ without consciousness.

This organ is called the Swarm Brood.

It looks like a semi-open biological factory.

There are assembly lines and workers responsible for the work.

The insect nest retains the fission reproductive ability of Nemertida and can regularly produce egg-shaped eggs.

Part of the egg-shaped insect eggs will be placed next to the Abyss Mirror by the worker insects together with the bee eggs to receive radiation.

The other part will be debugged by the brain worms - the brain worms can use the [Synthetic Beast Production Station] in the alchemy workshop to adjust the gene sequence of the insect eggs based on the genetic information of other organisms collected by the worker insects.

The newly born larvae have the characteristics of other types of organisms from the beginning.

Kind of like Aliens, and Genestealers.

But in this case, the space is not enough.

The volume of the automated pet breeding box is 1000m*1000m*1000m.

In addition to water and soil necessary for a complete ecology,

A large amount of space must be cleared, temples built, farmland cultivated, and trees planted.

Thanks to the miraculous function of terrariums in creating a livable environment, the growth of trees is largely freed from the limitations of light and nutrients.

Li Ang spent a lot of divine power and cultivated many giant trees with a height of one hundred meters or even more than two hundred meters in the breeding box for the insects to inhabit.

Even so, the imported swarms of insects are added every day, still continuously compressing the remaining space in the automated pet breeding box.

It won't work if we continue like this. It seems that it is necessary to move part of the insect swarm out...
