Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

With Zero's previous arrangements on the opposite side of the passage in vain, the Zerg units scattered at the exit and along the channel have become the last free individuals of the entire group in this strange star field, even if they have basically no ability to move independently.

Although they are extremely small, they are floating around in the interstellar space with inertia, and they are completely impossible to capture.

Perhaps it will take some time for them to achieve the goal that Zero expected before and truly take root in this star field.

Before that, they will go through a long and lonely journey, and even suffer large-scale extermination.

These zeros have been expected. At this point, waiting is the only option. The Zerg know very little about this "channel", how it works, why the Zerg units are sent here, and other Zergs entering it. These Zeros didn't know where the group had gone, let alone provide them with actual support at the other end of the passage.

The Velvet people closely monitored this individual that quickly grew from a tiny insect to an adult. At the same time, research on the dead insect corpse had been carried out for some time.

The entire scientific research team was divided into two research groups by Granger. One was dedicated to monitoring and exploring the second macro bug, recording all its activity characteristics to analyze the characteristics of this special race.

The second is dedicated to the study of the insect corpse from the previous one, which fell directly from the passage. The purpose of this group is no longer to study this type of creature itself, they need to From this corpse, practical scientific research results can be obtained, such as their adaptability to the space environment, the secrets of integrating and developing from microscopic existence into adult insects, etc. These secrets hidden in the deepest part of life require them to explore bit by bit. .

Therefore, compared to the former, this scientific research team is much larger.

With the power of the entire civilization, a group of scientific research elites were mobilized, and a team was formed under the leadership of the secondary scientist. Their efficiency was astonishing.

Through their efforts, the secrets about the Zerg body were revealed bit by bit as time went by, and even the expression at the genetic level was being verified through continuous experiments.

In order to confuse the other party, Zero handed over the task of transforming the Zerg units trained by the Velvet people to the always reliable Sass.

This special insect species created by it will be arranged in every detail according to Zero's requirements under its control.

Make sure every detail is self-explanatory and tell a big lie to mislead these intelligent civilizations that use Zerg creatures as experimental materials!

Tell them that this race is like this, and their gene expression is like this, causing the other party to make wrong judgments, and ultimately make them feel that everything is controllable, thereby reducing the threat of Zerg life to them, in order to achieve More purpose.

In the following time, one after another Zerg macro-unit was forced to hatch, and one after another died on the dissecting table.

After discovering that Zerg units can take advantage of the expansion of this microscopic life form, the other party gradually no longer cares about the life or death of these bugs, because they can hatch more experimental materials at any time for research.

Zero left everything to Sass, while he watched indifferently.

Not much information can be observed from the experimental container, so the bugs here cannot provide intelligence value and can only be slaughtered by the other party.

Sass responded calmly. Under its careful design, every piece of gene expression in the new Zerg life was recoded, hiding its ability to edit the shape of the body at will, fixing everything, and ensuring that every piece of gene expression was recoded. The insects that are "ripened" will eventually look similar.

Sometimes, it will also actively cooperate with the other party. For example, when the other party conducts targeted experiments to verify the tolerance of Zerg body cells to radiation, it will show a certain degree of resistance just right, without being overly exposed, and making everything appear reasonable.

When it comes to other aspects of technology, the Zerg may not be as good as the Zerg, but in terms of the life system, today's Sass and the Cerebral Worm can perfectly match the Zerg's innate abilities.

From these bugs, the Velvets could only get what Sass wanted them to know.

"Judging from the simplest anatomy of the corpse, the surface of this insect has a layer of special protein that connects various metal elements produced by the biological energy provided by the body. This special protein and the biological organisms composed of it The outer armor is its outermost line of defense against cosmic rays and extreme environmental damage.”

At the holographic conference, Pope, a scholar from the Federal Academy of Sciences, was introducing the team's research results in the past four months to colleagues, federal officials, and military representatives attending the conference.

As a young scholar, the reason why Popp was able to join such an important experimental project and speak as an introducer at a conference of this level certainly had his merits.

There is no doubt about his intelligence and talent. Being able to stand out from the 70 billion civilized individuals and enter the Federal Academy of Sciences, the highest scientific research institution, itself proves his ability and wisdom.

In addition, his other identity also made a great contribution to his being able to appear on this occasion.

Pope’s teacher is Granger’s protégé, the federation’s second-in-command scientist!

Of course, this identity only helps him get on this stage, and his own excellence is unquestionable.

Faced with everyone around him who was listening, or seniors with high authority or great fame, Popper spoke eloquently.

"This protein structure that plays a role in association, let's call it connexin, exists at the microscopic level at the beginning of the birth of this kind of life, thus ensuring that even when it is at its weakest, this kind of Bugs can survive in the harshest environments."

"We believe that the production of this connexin is determined by the following complex gene fragment, and specific experiments are still in progress. However, according to analysis, the genetic structure of this creature is similar to ours, and even to those in this star field. There are great differences between many organisms, and their genetic composition sequences are fundamentally different from the alien life that has been encountered before."

Having said this, Pop, who was originally explaining freely, became more serious.

"A month ago, we tried to graft a certain gene onto the axolotl embryo, a characteristic creature of Colonial Galaxy No. 2, but the experiment went out of control and the entire embryo was contaminated by this gene."

"Pollution?" a scientific researcher asked in the holographic projection.

"Yes, pollution. The genetic material that originally belonged to the newts was completely disrupted and could not be expressed at all. In the end, we found that these disrupted genetic materials seemed to have some similarities with other genes in these insects, and after A comparison proved that they were not exactly the same.

But the strange thing is that except for the grafting of gene fragments, we have completely isolated other substances. In theory, this will not happen, but it does happen, as if this gene has the ability to assimilate and can forcibly create different things. Other fragments that fall within the scope of transcription are therefore called contamination. "
