Deity: Star Sea Swarm

Han Fei observed a group of worker ants preparing to hunt a nest of mice. First, a worker ant discovered the mouse hole and wandered around the hole to collect nearby pheromones.

When he determined that there were mice in the cave by collecting nearby information and smells, the worker ant did not enter the cave immediately, but began to wander around the cave entrance in a large area, leaving pheromones along the way. .

After a period of time, a second worker ant finally got the information of the existence of prey through the pheromone left by him, and followed the found track. The two worker ants successfully met, and their antennae touched and communicated with each other.

Chapter 6 Experiment

In just a few seconds, the communication between the two worker ants is over.

One of them continues its previous range of activities, waiting for the arrival of other worker ants, while the other worker ants turn around and rush towards the direction they came from.

As he gets closer to the ant nest, he encounters more and more of the same kind on the road. He will communicate with each worker ant he encounters for a few seconds, and the two sides separate, and then continue to move towards the ant nest. When he returns to the ant nest, Almost half an hour has passed.

After staying in the ant nest for just 1 minute, more than 30 worker ants gathered and rushed towards the mouse hole. When he came back to the mouse hole, more than 200 worker ants had gathered nearby.

The arrival of this group of worker ants was like some kind of signal. The worker ants that were hovering around just now immediately merged into this group of the same kind, entered the mouse hole in a mighty way, and began to sweep the entire hole.

Every fork in the road will separate some worker ants to enter. Under the observation of Han Fei's divine sense, the nest of mice in the cave seems to have sensed the danger, and began to restlessly.

One of the larger mice left the mouse nest deep in the cave and began to move outward, probably to investigate the situation.

As a result, within a few steps, it collided with the vanguard of the worker ants. Due to animal instinct, this fat and strong mouse, weighing more than one catty, wanted to intimidate the worker ants to defend their territorial sovereignty.

Unexpectedly, the leading worker ant was unmoved at all, and just took a bite, and the two thick ant jaws clamped the mouse's nose in an instant, and the painful mouse rolled crazily in the tunnel, trying to kill the worker ant that bit it. get rid of.

The rest of the worker ants swarmed up until the mouse stopped rolling, and densely covered the whole body of the mouse. After the mouse struggled for a while, some worker ants finally grabbed its limbs and began to pull.

The special body structure of the ants brought them great strength, and easily put the mouse into a five-horse body shape, and could no longer move.

Immediately, four or five worker ants took the opportunity to step forward and cut off the mouse's artery and trachea easily. Several worker ants began to carry the corpse back, and the rest continued to move forward.

In this battle, only the first ant to attack was knocked off a leg when the mouse rolled wildly, and the other worker ants were unharmed.

This hunting operation lasted for more than ten minutes. Han Fei did not participate in the whole process. None of the nine mice in the nest escaped, and they all became the rations of the ant colony.

"Division of labor and cooperation, gathering strength, and enclosing the cave, it seems that although this group of chimeric ants is not highly intelligent individually, they are highly social." Han Fei said to himself, summarizing the hunting operation.

"At least from the situation of this cooperative hunting, these worker ants are not idiots who don't know anything. The strategy they use to deal with prey that is bigger than themselves is also very practical. A single worker ant will cause great pain to the prey and consume physical strength. , Complete the kill in a swarm." Thinking of this, Han Fei opened the light screen and started recording.

"This hunting took only ten minutes, but in the pre-preparation stage, it took more than an hour from the discovery of prey to the completion of troop assembly. The communication system of the ant colony must be improved." Regarding the problems discovered this time After finishing the record, Han Fei stood there silently thinking about the solution to the communication problem.

Although during the battle, Han Fei can instantly complete the mobilization of the ant colony units through the line of faith.

But in normal times, let him always act as a signal terminal, pay attention to the development of the ant colony in real time, and issue instructions to deliver messages. Even with the more than 1 ant colony units, he is too busy.

"Perhaps we can find a solution in the genes of other insects. We need to improve the visual distance of the eyes, a good auditory system, organs that produce sound, etc." After writing down these thoughts, Han Fei reluctantly closed the light screen.

It seems that the new communication system is a problem that cannot be solved in a short period of time. It is still necessary to develop the number first and collect more power of faith.

Thinking of this, Han Fei immediately shifted his mind and continued the information collection and observation work of the ant colony.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Han Fei has been in God's Domain for nearly 10 years, and in reality, about a month has passed.

During this period of time, apart from going offline every day to eat and solve physical problems, Han Fei devoted the rest of his time to the development of his domain.

The current number of chimeric ants, due to the improvement of the queen's egg-laying ability, has steadily exceeded 200 million, and the entire God's Domain is full of them.

The name of chimeric ants is no longer suitable for these Han Fei's core dependents. As he analyzes the collected species genes, he controls more and more species genes.

The units of the ant colony ushered in the upgrade generation after generation, and various insect characteristics were added. Han Fei decisively renamed the family members Zerg.

Now the newly born chimeric ants have completely lost the image of ants. Except for the old worker ants born in the past two years, there are no more ant-shaped units in the whole group.

Han Fei was standing in a large worm nest at this time, watching a giant worm cocoon as high as 1.5 meters.

"Sting..." With a soft sound, a monster with a size of nearly 1.5 meters emerged from the giant cocoon.

Its main torso resembles an enlarged rat, its head has obvious insect features, its mouth has sharp teeth, a pair of mandibles grow on both sides, its visual system consists of a pair of main eyes and four pairs of auxiliary eyes, and two The surface of the body is covered with metallic carapaces, the limbs have sharp giant claws, the hind limbs are thicker, obviously stronger than the forelimbs, it can be seen that he has a strong jumping ability, and there is a scorpion on the back. Opposite bone back sickle.

Watching this new Zerg unit shake off the mucus after breaking away from the giant cocoon, and start to move around the giant cocoon, Han Fei showed an ecstatic expression on his face. , using genetic tweaks to create new Zerg units.

"Has the springtail finally succeeded...?" Before Han Fei could finish his sentence, the expression of ecstasy froze on his face.

The new unit Zergling, which was still alive and kicking just now, has slowly fallen to the ground, foaming at the mouth, panting heavily, and then dying. After struggling for less than ten seconds, it stopped breathing and became a corpse. corpse.

Seeing this, Han Fei immediately restrained the ecstatic expression on his face, skillfully released his divine sense, and began to scan the corpse of this new unit.

And with a swipe, a blue light screen appeared in front of him, starting to summarize the experience and record the experimental results after each failure.

Han Fei has now formed a habit of using the auxiliary system of the Gods Landing Module as a notebook for a long time.

Chapter 7 Zerg

"Record, the 36th experiment failed, the test subject survived for 23 seconds after breaking out of the cocoon, the cause of death, the heart and energy supply system could not bear the body's functions, the hormones in the body were disordered, and all functional organs were rapidly failing..." Finished hands He touched the thread of faith lightly, and immediately two logistics spider ants came to the independent hatching room and easily carried away the failed springtail corpse.

"There is progress, at least successfully breaking out of the cocoon, which is another new milestone." Han Fei habitually raised his hand and rubbed the forehead of the spirit body. Although it was useless, at least he would get a little psychological relief.

The death of this springtail meant that another two months of hard work was in vain. It took a month for this thing to accumulate energy from larvae to cocooning, and the cocooning period was also as long as one month.

The birth of the springtails this time has been considered relatively successful. None of the previous experimental subjects had reached the cocoon breaking stage, and almost all of them died at the larval stage and cocooning stage, due to various problems.

Recently, the species development of Han Fei's core dependents has entered a bottleneck. It is not impossible to improve the combat effectiveness of a single Zerg, but considering the existing genes, unit consumption and growth time, etc.

The current main battle Zerg unit, the piercing tarantula has reached the limit on this balance point.

His main gene came from a carnivorous mutant wolf spider at the top of the food chain in God's Domain, after it was adjusted and combined with chimeric ants and other kinds of insect genes.

The main body of the born piercing tarantula is more than 40 centimeters long, with poisonous fangs and mandibles, the whole body is covered with carapace, four pairs of eyes provide various visual systems, the abdomen has a vocal organ as a communication system, and the body surface has discoloration Camouflage function, the tail can spray highly poisonous corrosive acid three meters away, the length of each of the eight spider legs is more than [-] centimeters, all stretched out to look like the size of a millstone.

They are agile, explosive, and have good jumping ability. The claws on the toes and joints allow them to move quickly on any terrain. The powerful digestive system and energy storage organs bring them a good performance combat radius.

The most important thing is a three-segment folding limb under their chest. After opening, the effective attack distance is [-] centimeters. When it bounces off, it has a terrifying explosive power similar to that of a mantis shrimp. Metallized, as long as the target's strength does not exceed this specially strengthened leg, it will be easily penetrated instantly, and the venom sprayed from the lower part of the mouth will be sent into the target's body. This is also the origin of the name Piercing Tarantula.

It only takes seven days for the larvae to break out of the cocoon, and they don't usually eat much. If necessary, they can enter a dormant state, reducing the consumption to nearly one-tenth of the usual.

In addition, Han Fei has also created several excellent Zerg units in the past ten years.

As a scout, the stinging dragonfly has absorbed the genetic advantages of a large number of heterogeneous dragonflies. It has a body size of 20 centimeters and a maximum flight speed of 150 kilometers per hour. It is extremely flexible in the sky. Various visual collection systems are integrated into the eyes, and the observation range is huge.

The logistics spider ant is a full-time production. The main body is 30 cm in size. It combines the strength and carrying capacity of ants, and it also has the ability to spin silk. It has a pair of digging legs on its chest, and the remaining three pairs of legs are a combination of spider legs and mouse claws. Flexibility, while being able to excavate efficiently, it is also capable of various more complex collection and handling tasks. The three pairs of eyes on the head provide them with an excellent visual system. The mandibles on both sides and the fangs in the mouth represent their It is not a logistics unit without combat effectiveness.

Scimitar cockroach, as the support unit of the swarm, has a body size of 40 cm. It uses the alienated cockroach gene in God's Domain for adjustment and optimization. The venom is easily sent into the prey, the body surface is a color-changing camouflage system, and the elytra on the back allows them to have excellent flying ability.

The scimitar cockroaches sacrificed their heavy carapaces for the purpose of flying, which weakened their ability to resist blows, but their slender and flexible legs allow them to move quickly and flexibly when crawling on the ground. The power is huge, and it can easily cut off the heads of small mammals in the God's Domain.

Now the larvae produced by the queen ant are all these four types of units. The formation of each of their units has undergone dozens of optimizations by Han Fei, and they have been balanced in terms of combat effectiveness, food consumption, growth cycle, etc., to achieve the current optimal solution.

No longer thinking about the springtails, Han Fei's spirit body immediately ascended and flew to the underground insect nest two kilometers away from the laboratory.

There is no abnormality in the lush vegetation above the insect nest, and there are a large number of stinging dragonflies patrolling this area, but below this piece of ground, there is a huge cave.

As the residence of the queen ants, this place is at the center of the entire swarm and is protected by layers of swarms. Within three kilometers of the ground, there are no living species other than swarm units and plants.

In the cave, the stinging dragonfly and the piercing tarantula patrol 24 hours to resolutely eliminate any non-Zerg creatures that appear in the cave, which can be said to be the ultimate bodyguard work.

Six spacious passages connect the cave with six ground insect nests three kilometers away, and the logistics spider ants coming and going in the passages continue to carry food here.

Each ground nest extends three to six kilometers outward.There will be a new ground insect nest, which will spread layer by layer as a food storage warehouse and garrison point.

Through this method of advancing layer by layer, the control area of ​​the swarm has spread all over the entire God's Domain. The advanced voice information transmission system makes the communication of the swarm more efficient. Across the entire domain of God, send the message to any swarm unit.

The queen ant was still lying on the ground unable to move, and Han Fei's spirit body gently descended beside the queen ant, skillfully conveying a wave of thoughts and emotions of concern to her.

"How do you feel physically? Is there anything you want to eat?" Following Han Fei's thought, it entered the soul of the queen ant.

The two tentacles on the queen ant's head, which were drooping just now, immediately swayed happily.

"God, I feel good, there is nothing uncomfortable, I want to eat a lot of sweet big aphids." A message was transmitted to Han Fei along the thread of faith. Although the intelligence of the queen ant is much higher than that of ordinary A mentally retarded unit, but her thinking at this stage is similar to that of a human child.

Han Fei immediately pulled the thread of faith, and in an aphid farm five kilometers away, a group of stinging dragonflies immediately took off and began to select suitable large aphids in the farm.

Don’t want the ones that are too small, don’t want the ones that aren’t green enough, don’t just suck the sap, these stinging dragonflies are like the most skilled farmers, commenting on the aphids on the leaves, and picking out the tribute-level high-quality large aphids .

Chapter 8

Then, to catch the carefully selected targets, a group of stinging dragonflies each held their hands, like an aunt who had just finished collecting new year's goods. Each insect carried four large aphids and flew quickly towards the cave.

In less than 3 minutes, these poisonous stinging dragonflies carrying large aphids rushed into the cave from the vent at the top of the cave, drew a beautiful spiral line and landed firmly in front of the queen.

The logistics spider ant waiting next to it immediately stepped forward to pick up the large aphid brought by the poisonous stinging dragonfly, twisted the head and removed the legs in a very professional way, and sent the most fleshy torso and abdomen into the queen ant's mouth.

Watching the queen ant eat the aphids happily, Han Fei slowly infiltrated his spiritual thoughts into the queen ant's body for inspection. This is a job he needs to do every once in a while. In the abdomen, Han Fei's thoughts gradually drifted away.

The current size of the queen ant has grown to more than two meters away, and her chest and head have not changed much. The main reason is that her abdomen has become larger and longer. It is no longer red, but red with black stripes.

This is the result of Han Fei incorporating a small black ant gene into the queen. After the queen of this small ant matures, it can lay more than [-] eggs a day. Han Fei was very envious when he saw it.

After analyzing the gene of this ant species, Han Fei inserted one of the reproductive optimization systems into the body genes of the queen ant, and the queen immediately stopped laying eggs and did not eat or drink. After a month of slow Metamorphosis.

This kind of black stripes appeared on her abdomen. The situation at that time frightened Han Fei half to death. He was really scared. What if the ant queen didn't survive the transformation time and starved to death.

Fortunately, the ant queen escaped danger and successfully completed the metamorphosis, and the egg production became [-] per day, just at the stage when Han Fei was overjoyed.

A few days later, a new problem was discovered. Less than half of the newly laid eggs of the queen ant could successfully hatch the larvae, and her body began to gradually weaken again. Han Fei was flustered by his nonchalant expression. During this period of time, he had studied the genes of the black ants over and over again.

After two months of repeated comparisons and observations, Han Fei finally found out the reason. The main food source of these black ants is large aphids, and they have a soft spot for the large aphids that live on a succulent plant.

Based on what he observed, Han Fei immediately changed the queen's diet, mixing the juice of this succulent into the queen's ration.

Sure enough, the queen's physical condition improved immediately, and the hatching probability of the eggs returned to normal. The sap of this succulent plant contains a special nutrient that can provide the black ant queen with important nutrients needed for reproduction. .

After this lesson, Han Fei no longer dared to make any adjustments to the queen's genes.

If the ant queen really died because of his genetic adjustment, Han Fei would definitely be included in the next edition of textbooks and become another brand new typical case passed down from generation to generation.

Because the demigod killed himself, leading to the extinction of the core family members, and then he could accept the worship of the students of the next generation. During those three months of suffering, Han Fei worked frantically, and even appeared when he had no thoughts. hallucinations.

A group of middle school students held small red flags around his tombstone, and a tour guide brother talked eloquently: "Everyone, please look over here, this is the first person in our human history who committed suicide and caused the extinction of his core family members." He is a ruthless person, everyone must take this as a warning, study hard, and don't follow in his footsteps and become the second in history."

Recalling this unbearable experience again, Han Fei shivered, withdrew his thoughts, and carefully observed the condition of the queen ant.

"Not bad, good health, remember to take a good rest every day, and continue to maintain it." Han Fei passed this idea to the queen ant, and attached an encouraging emotion.

The queen ant, who was feasting, received his message, and the tentacles on her head that kept shaking immediately became more cheerful.

After watching the situation of the queen ants, Han Fei inspected several breeding areas and planting areas, including the succulent plant breeding area five kilometers away.

This is an area with a radius of one kilometer. All other plants in this area have been rooted out, and only one species of succulents has been preserved. This kind of plants was named succulent trees by Han Fei, and they were planted every ten meters. Trees, to ensure that their crowns can fully absorb sunlight, and there is a special earthworm-type Zerg unit under the ground, which can grow to half a meter in length, and has little combat effectiveness. Its main function is to loosen the soil and eat all harmful organisms underground.

The number of large aphids here is also strictly controlled to ensure that it will not have a huge impact on the growth of these succulents. The excrement produced by all nearby insect swarm units will be collected and concentrated on this land to increase the fertility of the soil.

The large aphids in this farm are one of the main food sources for the queen ants. In addition to the same large aphid farm, Han Fei also built three in other directions.

After inspecting here, Han Fei went to several other aphid farms. Except for these four succulent plant farms, all the other aphid farms were almost the same.

It’s just that some have larger areas and plant different plants. The plants planted in these farms are a kind of big tree carefully selected by Han Fei, named by Han Fei as a big leaf tree, which can easily grow to a height of 25 meters , with luxuriant branches and leaves, very wide and thick leaves, rich in juice, it is the most suitable plant for breeding aphids he found in God's Domain.

After inspecting the farm, Han Fei's spirit body immediately moved to the planting area. The trees planted here are also [-] or [-] meters high, and the appearance looks no different from ordinary trees.

But the peculiarity of this kind of big tree is that as long as a small opening is made on its branches, a large amount of sap with extremely high sugar content will flow out. The same is true for its leaves and fruits, which were named sweet by Han Fei. Pulp tree, this kind of big tree is one of the main food sources of the swarm.

The current Zerg has undergone a lot of genetic adjustment and optimization by Han Fei, and the digestive system has also undergone several rounds of strengthening. The food is no longer limited to meat, and it is a proper omnivorous species.

Even if it eats soil when necessary, it can extract enough nutrients from the soil, but the growth efficiency of doing so is too low, and it can only be used as a helpless choice under extreme conditions.

After inspecting several plantations and farms, Han Fei raised his hand and opened the screen to record the inspection situation.

"All the experimental plantations and farms are developing well. After observing for a period of time, if there are no problems, we can start to expand the scale." After finishing the record in hand, Han Fei turned off the light screen smoothly.

Chapter 9 Extraordinary Level

Plantation and breeding farms are the projects that Han Fei started to work on in recent years. As the number of Zerg continues to grow, the demand for food is also increasing day by day.

So Han Fei began to try to create a circular ecological chain. The purpose of this simple ecological chain is to support more and more Zergs. Of course, the less intermediate losses, the better.

That's why we have the current plantation and farm model. The circular chain of the farm consists of three links. Plants absorb nutrients from the earth and separate their branches and leaves. Aphids grow by sucking the juice of plants, and insects use aphids as food. To meet consumption, the excrement after digestion is used as fertilizer to provide nutrients for plants, and the cycle chain of plantations is shorter and only two links.

Recently, the hares and mice in the God's Domain are almost extinct. Except for a few no-hunting areas on the edge of the God's Domain that Han Fei delineated alone, there are only a handful of mammals that can be found in the entire [-] square kilometers of land in the God's Domain. number.

Even if he has already started to work hard to plan for the future development of God's Domain, if the area of ​​God's Domain cannot be expanded, the number of Zerg will one day grow to the limit that God's Domain can carry.

All that Han Fei is doing now is to try to increase this limit value. All he can do is to try his best to strengthen the strength of the swarm so that he can have enough self-protection ability when he leaves the protection period.

If it's really unlucky, and just after leaving the protection period, he bumps into an invader with a dragon family, he can only accept it, don't look at the huge number of insect swarms now, as ordinary species, all Zerg combat units have Absolute limitations.

In the face of a top extraordinary species like a giant dragon, even if it is a young dragon, the current swarm can't even break the opponent's skin. The opponent's damage is either zero or not hit, and the opponent's casual slap can overflow the damage.

The core family members of dragons are the kind of family members that almost every demigod prays for awakening when they open up the realm of the gods.

Birth is extraordinary, adulthood can be elite, a little training and training can reach hero level, if you are willing to accumulate and cultivate a lot of resources, you can hope to be promoted to lord level, it is simply the ticket to become a god.
