Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Role of the Mother of Sandworms

Kelles' improved design of the Stinging Snake armor transforms the otherwise unrealistic Void Jumping Device into a "psionic repulsion thruster" centered around the Stinger's jet chamber.

These thrusters are built in pairs and are fitted to the firing port of the serpent's jet chamber.

They come from a sub-item of the weapon branch of the Astral "Purifier" project, just at the very peak where Kyles has reading privileges.

Originally designed to study the Tyranid Empire's live-fire weapons, this thing transforms psionic energy to produce explosive repulsion that accelerates all entities that pass through the repulsion field.

The flight speed of the needle ejected by the stinging snake is already very fast, and if it is accelerated by the repulsion force at the moment of discharge, not only will the range be greatly increased, but the destructive power and the difficulty of the opponent's dodge will also increase geometrically.

Originally, Kyreus's idea was like this, the Stinging Snake armor did not need too many other parts of the armor and power-assisted equipment, and even the psionic shield could be saved and saved, only to ensure that the two sets of psionic repulsion thrusters could operate normally, and the combat effectiveness of the Stinging Snake could usher in a leap forward.

However, the idea is the assumption, the reality is the reality, and Kellers's design encountered an almost insurmountable obstacle in the process of practice.

That is, the stinging snake itself, which cannot adapt to this sudden explosion of ammunition flying speed.

Almost all stinging snakes have a lack of accuracy or even a situation where the moving target within 100 meters misses the target after being equipped with a psionic repulsion thruster, which is almost unimaginable in normal times.

You must know that under the connection of the mind of the main nest of the insect swarm, the stinging snakes can always use the unified command of the king worm to monitor the target position sent back by the king worm to achieve a precise strike thousands of meters away, and the target within 100 meters is almost impossible to dodge the stinging snake needle even if it moves at supersonic speed.

So this is also an issue that cannot be ignored.

And there is a more serious problem, that is, the stinging snakes in the Xue Hua swarm are now equipped with two kinds of ammunition reserves to deal with different battle situations.

An armor-piercing needle is hard and has the strength to penetrate a two-centimeter-thick special steel plate at the upper limit of the snake's range, so it doesn't hurt.

However, another type of explosive needle used for mass killing and mass injury is not strong enough because of its hollow structure, and the interior is full of unstable explosive microflora, so it cannot withstand such an excessively high flight speed, and will basically detonate itself in flight.

This is equivalent to the abolition of a means of mass destruction of the stinging snake, a defect that cannot be tolerated.

Therefore, until these two issues were improved, the Stinger armor was also temporarily PASSED.

So far, the armor of the Zerg unit that has been successfully researched and finalized is only the one that is suitable for jumping insects, and that set of armor is not completely without flaws.

The most obvious problem is what happens to the armor-equipped jumping worm when it needs to mutate into a poisonous blaster on the battlefield with an urgent mission on the battlefield.

Abashur and Kellers tested the problem, but came to a very strange conclusion.

After the jumping insects equipped with armor mutated into poisonous explosion insects, the armor on their bodies disappeared inexplicably.

According to Abasser's explanation, when the jumping worm mutates into a poisonous explosion, it produces a large amount of unstable acidic substances, and those armors are likely to be dissolved by these acids during the mutation process.

In order to dissolve these excess substances, the whole mutation process of the jumping worms takes more time, which means that the formation of the poisonous blast insects will be slowed down and the incubation period will be longer.

And that's just a matter of jumping insects, as cockroaches and stinging snakes can also mutate into other swarm units.

When they mutate, how to solve the problem of armor on their bodies?

All in all, this matter is easier said than done, and it is full of all kinds of problems that Keles and Xue Hua have not thought of before, and it can be said that there is a long way to go, and it is by no means a day's work.

However, such a problem also succeeded in arousing the desire of Kelles and Abashur to study.

These two guys, who would have been taunting each other as long as they met before, rarely reached an agreement on this matter.

Abbather is responsible for fine-tuning the genes of the three Zerg units that are being designed to adapt to the armor without affecting their current combat effectiveness.

Kelles once again began to drastically improve his armor design, and made a list of various problems exposed during the implementation process.

Although this work has not been completely completed, it has finally given Xue Hua a little hope.

The Zerg's Golden Fleet doesn't seem to be exactly a castle in the air......

After learning about the progress of this research, Xue Hua issued an order to the hive base of Zagara on the other side of the mysterious sand dune, asking for "receiving and properly placing the experimental materials".

The first hopper equipped with the Astral Spirit Armor will be sent there, ready to begin exploring the secret laboratory in the mysterious sand dunes, protected by a prototype of a warship sent by Sarnagar.

When the matter was over, Xue Hua looked at Abbather and motioned for him to continue his report.

So Abbather began to report to Xue Hua that the mother of sandworms had been completely assimilated by the swarm.

After more than half a year of hard work, the mother of sandworms, a giant sandworm whose brain has been modified by Sarnagar, has finally been connected to the mind of the main nest.

At the same time, due to the swarm, the brain space of the mother sandworm has also entered a closed state again, and she has begun to be able to store information.

With this guy, the mid-level and high-level commanders in the swarm will be able to reorganize all the battles they have experienced and store them in their minds, which will greatly increase the efficiency of the swarm's collection of combat experience and the space for application.

At the same time, due to the huge brain capacity of the mother sandworm, it can also carry part of the operating burden of the main nest mind.

Xue Hua only needs to find a way to get it out of the ground of the Cat-Man Oasis, and then transport it to the base of the asteroid belt, then the mental coverage of his main nest will extend several light-years into the deep space of the universe.

Abbath, however, has a different idea.

It believes that with the role of the Mother Sandworm, it can be placed on the planet that Zuzad is responsible for the ongoing planetary activation program, and with it as the central point, a second major nest group can be developed.

In this way, through the mother of sandworms' strong mental control ability of the main nest, Xue Hua can completely let the second nest develop on its own, and let the mother of sandworms act as the high-level commander of the nest.

Xue Hua thought that Abbathhar's idea was quite good, so he asked Zuzad to prepare to send the Mother of Sand Worms from the Second Fleet back to receive the Mother of Sandworms, and she would be responsible for placing them on the planet being transformed.
