Chapter 108: The Evolution of the Pit Worm
"So you mean... That tentacle monster beneath Planet One is an abandoned failure? ”
Xue Hua asked with a frown.
"Yes, although it has a large number of unique biological abilities due to the fusion of various genetic characteristics, the excessive mixing of internal genes will lead to the instability of its biological signs, the rotation of various gene expressions will make it completely uncontrolled, and over time, the sequelae of the forced combination of genes will also appear one by one.
The organism could disintegrate at any time due to a sudden genetic mutex, and this completely uncontrolled, unstable, and unpredictable survival time of the experiment was an unacceptable failure for any biological researcher. ”
Abbather replied.
"And what else is it worth?"
Xue Hua thought about it for a moment, and then asked again.
"For now, I have only deciphered the most superficial part of the genetic decoding project composed of its core genes, and the gene lock in its central region is still very strong, and it is impossible to judge whether the core genes have additional value until they are fully analyzed.
In terms of the genetic traits it exhibits so far, the organism has no value other than being able to provide a very small number of relatively complete genetic traits and unique genetic splicing methods that can be learned.
Most of the genetic essence in its body has already been contaminated during the assembling process, and this gene is not recommended to be extracted due to its unproven stability. ”
"Okay, I understand, take out everything that can be learned and extracted, and continue to study the rest, but you can move the research priority of this thing back a bit."
Xue Hua nodded to show that he had understood, and then continued to ask.
"How's the assimilation of the Mother of Sandworms going? What about the progress of research on it? ”
"Seventy percent of the assimilation of Specimen 2 has been completed, and when I studied its brain cells, I found that the organism had a psionic information receiving and dissemination organ in its brain, which I could tell that this organ was the organ that received the commands of the modifier.
However, this organ has now been artificially degraded, and it is still said that Experiment Specimen 2 is now in a wild state, except for instinctively following the orders of the previous modder, and its modifier has abandoned it.
This is contrary to our previous judgment, so I am currently re-searching the brain space of Subject 2 in the hope of finding more evidence to support the abandonment judgment. ”
Abbather said in a flat tone.
"In terms of the research on its genes, I have extracted some useful parts from its genetic essence, inspired by the way it switches on and off brain tissue, and I am trying to transplant this part of the genetic essence into the genetic code of the pit worm.
It is expected that in the near future, the tunnel worms in the swarm will usher in a major upgrade, and the improved tunnel worms may gain the special ability to cross and penetrate the wormhole and move between two extremely far, even cross-planetary points, and the transportation mode of the swarm will be qualitatively enhanced. ”
"Through a wormhole? Isn't holding the grass equivalent to teleporting? Can you also cross planets? Is this Nima going to force the rhythm of the king worm to retire? ”
Xue Hua looked at Abbather with wide eyes, if the tunnel worm can travel through space from one planet to another, then do you need to transport the king worm?
It's completely unnecessary, right? Even the role of Behemoth will be greatly weakened!
"There are very strict requirements for the interplanetary teleportation of the tunnel worms, you must at least have a large enough nest at another crossing point for the tunnel worms to complete the positioning, and the ground transportation of the tunnel worms cannot replace the airborne system of Behemoth and the king worms, and the transmission of troops over too long distances will also make the tunnel worms fall into an adaptation period of not being able to open their throats for a period of time when they burrow out of the surface."
Just when Xue Hua was excited about the special abilities of the tunnel worm, Abasser, who sensed his thoughts from the mind of the main nest, directly poured a basin of cold water on him and extinguished the fire.
Moreover, Abbather also told Xue Hua that the tunnel worms can only cross between two planets that are relatively close, and if they are too far, they can only be transported by Behemoth and the king worms.
Therefore, if Xue Hua wants to really embark on the road of conquering the sea of stars, he still has to save money to incubate Behemoth and Leviathan first......
"Hey... Wouldn't I just YY, so that it wouldn't hit me like this... You don't want your salary this month......"
Xue Hua rolled his eyes speechlessly, and said a few words casually, seeing that Abbather had nothing else to report, he left the spiritual universe directly.
In reality, Xue Hua opened his eyes from the main square in the eastern district, which had been completely reduced to ruins.
He shook his body in a bit of a trance, then shook his head slightly.
"It feels like a month has passed, but no one has come to me yet, so it doesn't mean much hasn't been long......"
He muttered to himself for a few words, and then, suddenly, as if something sounded, he pulled out the Star Psionic Communicator from his inventory.
"Kellers, are you there?" Xue Hua injected a bit of necromancy into the Keldarin crystal on the communicator, and the golden watch-like device immediately lit up.
Soon, the half-length projection of the phase technician emerged from the Keldarin crystal shard.
"Do you have time now?"
"Yes, if you have anything, say it quickly."
Xue Hua nodded.
"It's about the research project you gave me earlier, remember? What about the infrastructure of the world you're in? ”
"Well, I remember, you go on." Xue Hua nodded, indicating that he was listening.
"I've tested all the research materials you got with the equipment in the Mechanical Research Institute, and the rest hasn't yielded any results yet, but I've just come to a little conclusion about the basic structure of this world and the manifest world will you mentioned."
Kellens said as he retrieved a rune from something in his hand.
It was a No. 1 rune "El".
"I've used the matter disintegration machine to dissociate a few of these runes, and judging by the energy pressure during dissociation and the psionic disturbance reaction after dissociation, these things are really weird... I'll do it again and show you......"
Kyles reached out and grabbed something that looked like a laser pistol from the movies, then put on his goggles and released a dazzling ray at the rune in his hand.
Hiss Hiss!!
A violent burning sound rang out, and the rune El soon began to emit puffs of white smoke as it could not withstand the powerful energy of the rays.
Just when Xue Hua thought that this rune was about to shatter, something strange happened, countless fine and regular silver-white lines suddenly appeared on the surface of this El rune, and these lines emitted a powerful energy force field outward, and even the fingers holding it were slightly stretched.
Immediately afterward, as the rays emitted by the material decomposer continued to burn, these silver lines on the El runes became more and more obvious.
The entire El Rune was quickly and completely eroded by these lines, and at this time, its appearance did not look like a stone chip at all, but more like some high-tech metal chips that Xue Hua had seen in the movies in his previous life.
Just a second after the rune was completely covered by this pattern, a banging sound came from the screen, and the upper body of Kelus was directly enveloped in a large cloud of smoke, and the whole picture flickered wildly.
"Kelles! Kelles! Are you okay? Xue Hua called out twice with some concern, but Kyreus's clear voice soon came from the picture.
"Ahem... It's okay, it's okay, I'm okay, but you see, right? What an unusual reaction from this thing!
In other words, are you really sure that the civilization of the world you live in is a primitive civilization that has not even figured out the form of the planet you inhabit? ”
