Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

The research on acid resistance on Planet 4 did not bother Saas for long. With the help of samples provided by native organisms, this research, which already had some ideas, progressed rapidly.

The impact of a strong acidic environment on living things is fatal, but these creatures living on Planet 4 have resisted this extreme environment to a certain extent by themselves. Even before, the insect swarm had already initially established itself on the surface of the planet through them. The ability to move.

And Sass's work this time is to further strengthen the Zerg units, especially the Zerg energy units, on this basis.

At the same time, although they have strong tolerance, in order to prevent them from being soaked in strong acid liquid for a long time, some adjustments have been made to the external form of the energy units.

Before that, the Zerg energy units on Planet 2 and the "Moon" were almost all dark black overlapping sheet structures, similar to dark leaves arranged in layers, rooted underground and attached to the surface. Absorbing energy from stars.

However, this structure is not suitable for Planet 4. If it is still concentrated and spread on the ground as before, then when the acid rain falls, some of the energy units will inevitably be directly immersed in the strong acid liquid. , in this case, no matter how strong the tolerance is, it will be difficult to survive for a long time.

Therefore, they no longer grow close to the ground, nor do they overlap in sheets. An important part of their design is to guide the acidic liquids they come into contact with into the ground as quickly as possible. The original flat leaf structure has become a sunken ring with drainage and self-healing functions.

As long as it doesn't cause fatal damage within a short period of time after contact, Sass can always make them change into a suitable shape.

As a small-scale pilot, the ground part did not show obvious damage after experiencing a round of sulfuric acid rain. Although it cannot be said to be unscathed, it is enough to prove the success of the experiment.

They are not dead, and even if they suffer some damage, they will recover as before during subsequent growth.

This means that it has become possible for Zerg energy units to reproduce on a large scale on the surface of Planet 4!

Now that Sars has produced results, a large number of insect swarms that were originally dormant in the orbit of the yellow planet have begun to land. They will use themselves as starting resources to lay the foundation for the large-scale expansion of the insect swarm.

It is foreseeable that in the next few decades, even this planet with extremely harsh environment will eventually be conquered by it and become another resource base for the Zerg.

But Sass himself, who had already hidden his fame, turned around and began to sort out his thoughts on the utilization of thermal energy.

Now, together with Ori, a total of three planets have been landed by the Zerg. They will be colonized one after another in the future and become the "planetary biological base" of the Zerg in the star system. However, this is far from the end. Want much more than this.

........................

As a brainworm, Dagos is undoubtedly qualified.

After entrusting it with the task of continuing to promote the survival of the Zerg on the lava-like planet, Dagos continued to experiment and improve the tolerance of the Zerg swarm by using the lava environment inside Planet 2 based on Sass's previous research. ability.

It is different from Sass. If Sasse has gradually become more stable over the course of hundreds of years of life, then the young Dagos still maintains his unique thinking.

It’s not that Sars has been polluted by knowledge and has become mediocre, but there are two styles between the two. The former is now more accustomed to advancing the Zerg’s biotechnology based on its own rich knowledge system, while the latter is I prefer divergent thinking and unconstrained thinking.

The accumulation of a large amount of knowledge can generally ensure steady progress, and out-of-the-box thinking can often produce surprising results. There is no one better or worse. Sars also went through this stage back then, but it grew too much. It was fast, and the Zerg was too weak at the time, and its knowledge system was pitifully weak, so most of its wild ideas were not actually put into practice.

After handing over the underground research base of Planet 2 to Dagos, Zero did not pay much attention to it. After all, all it did was step-by-step work. With its knowledge base, as long as it conducted experiments in a down-to-earth manner, It is almost certain to get results.

However, Zero did not expect that in this seemingly ordinary research project, Dagos actually gave him a surprise.

It has been continuously improving the Zerg's high temperature tolerance for two years, and has achieved some results. Its performance in this aspect can be said to be quite satisfactory, and there is nothing to boast about.

The surprise is that in the process, it caught the inspiration that came to mind and actually came up with a theoretically feasible idea that can utilize the material and energy inside the lava!

Of course, this must first be based on the Zerg's ability to tolerate extremely high temperatures, which is still far from meeting the requirements.

In its vision, under ideal conditions, the activity range of the insect swarm can be pushed all the way deeper underground, directly into the earth's crust, based on the energy generated by the decay of magma and radioactive materials in the molten state, directly affecting the entire planet here. Expand the erosion!

Of course, this is a vision that can only be achieved in the end, and whether it can be realized has yet to be verified. With the current technical level of the Zerg, it cannot be said that the Zerg unit that can achieve this level is a luxury, but it can only stay. within the imagination.

But things always have to be done step by step. The most practical aspect of the theory proposed by Dagos lies not in the complete collection of the entire planet's resources, but in the expansion of current ideas for utilizing geothermal resources!

With this direction, Sasse could begin experimenting. To put it bluntly, this mechanism is not much different from the absorption of stellar energy by the Zerg. However, there is a precedent for biological utilization of solar energy from producers and algae. It was developed after the step-by-step transformation and evolution of the Zerg over the past hundred years. To this extent.

As for the use of geothermal resources, it is almost starting from scratch, and it is inevitable that you will be a little confused for a while.

But this time Dagos proposed the use of insect species that can withstand strong heat, and through the previous method of converting star energy by energy units on Orui, the huge energy from the star core can also be converted into a creature unique to the Zerg race. energy!

This is almost a pioneering change, and it is just a young brainworm that was born only a few decades ago. After decades of learning and summarizing, at this moment, it finally showed its own potential.

Once this idea comes true, the road leading to the interior of the planet will be considered an open door for the insect swarm. Perhaps one day they will be able to physically destroy an entire planet!

It can also be seen from this that today's insect swarms are no longer life in the ordinary sense. If Zero is willing, their body surface can become harder than rock or even steel, whether it is strong acid or extreme temperatures, It has gradually ceased to pose a threat to them.

——They are gradually becoming fundamentally different from ordinary creatures.

After going into space, they are getting rid of their fragile flesh and blood bodies at an extremely fast speed and becoming real interstellar species that can adapt to various complex environments!

The mother star Orui is like a hotbed for their incubation. Now, the young insect swarms have grown up. They have walked out of the warm embrace of the mother star and accepted the severe test from the universe.
