Chapter Seventy-One: Evolution Quest (I'm More Tired Than Going to Work These Days~)
"Abbath, what's the matter?" Xue Hua was able to access the mind of the main nest on the soft chair, approved Abbather's communication request, and then asked directly.
"Experimental Specimen No. 1, the genetic sequence has been analyzed, and it is confirmed that the Chimera phenomenon is an unnatural creation, and its gene stitching technology is quite advanced and can be used by insect colonies.
Three adaptive essences were successfully stripped from its gene chain, one of which could be expanded and extended to breed new insect population varieties, and the remaining two could be added to the gene sequences of existing insect population species to continue to evolve and transform the existing gene sequences.
Progress has been made in the exploration of the spiritual universe, and the discovery of a mimic virtual memory area, which can be used as a testing ground for the evolution of insect swarms, and can be used to test the practicality of evolution.
I'm waiting for you in the pit of evolution, Juggernaut. ”
Abbather finished this sentence quickly, then hung up and retracted into the evolution pit.
"Wozhi! Hang up your boss again... You don't want to pay this month... Forget it, it's not fun to keep teasing yourself like this......"
Xue Hua rolled his eyes helplessly, and directly transferred his consciousness to the evolution pit of Leviathan.
Here, Abbather has everything ready and is waiting for his arrival.
It was surrounded by two balls of light and an egg floating in mid-air, and when it saw Xue Hua coming, this guy still didn't have any greeting prelude, so he directly started this time to explain the content.
The egg on the left side of its body is the most complete and primary genetic sequence isolated from Subject 1.
The eggs are hatching a new type of swarm unit that has been concocted and multiplied by Abbather.
It's just that the form of this egg... Why is it floating in mid-air?
However, Abbather did not start with the egg.
It first stretched out an appendage and moved a cloud of dark gray essence in front of Xue Hua.
"Subject 1 Essence, isolated to the creature's plasma converter officer, applicable to the class - the swarm host.
There are two mutation tendencies in the swarm host that has been integrated into this essence, and the two tendencies have been listed separately, and the experimental ground can be used to simulate the combat environment for evolutionary experiments to select the final evolutionary tendency.
The first mutation tendency: the swarm host's back incubator mutates, capable of producing flying locusts with a shorter life span but attacking destructive energy toxins, which are more destructive and capable of leaping over obstacles and even attacking air targets, they are able to attack and damage enemies in a line through their mouths with highly toxic plasma beams, and poison them.
This energy toxin will continue to attack the target's body, whether the target is an organism or not, until the target dies or the injured area is removed.
If the target eventually dies from the toxin, four to five larval locusts will hatch from their corpses, with the larvae being shorter but having the same abilities as adults.
Note that there is a chemical drug in the world where the Lord currently exists that can remove toxins from the bodies of living beings approved by the will of the world, so please be cautious about this evolution. ”
"The second mutation tendency: the blood of the host of the swarm mutates, and all the hemoglobin in it is converted into plasma energy bodies, and the locust larvae that reside in its blood degenerate, and the size of the locust larvae decreases to 1/120,000 of the original.
However, a new plasma energy-adaptive force field organ has emerged in its body.
By using this organ, these miniature locusts are able to deploy a plasma field that provides targeted protection against enemy strikes.
The host of this mutation tends to have phantom energy reserve organs and plasma-triggered organs in their bodies.
This trigger allows the swarm host to perform long-distance displacement without being attacked, but this displacement method is highly energy-consuming and is only recommended for tactical transfers.
Due to the smaller size of the hatched locusts, the swarm host with this mutation tendency will be able to hatch a large number of miniature locusts without interruption, which will allow the locust to continuously arrange plasma energy barriers centered on the swarm host, and these barriers will continue until they are actively canceled, or the sphotrophobic energy in the host of the swarm is exhausted. ”
"Juggernaut can simulate the mutation ability of the two host variants of the insect colony by simulating the memory area, so as to determine the evolutionary tendency to be selected in the end."
After Abbather finished speaking, he stretched out an appendage and pointed it in front of Xue Hua, and a picture suddenly appeared in front of Xue Hua's eyes.
In the picture, there is an earthy yellow planet, and there is not a trace of water on the surface of the planet, which is exactly like a dead star.
But the picture soon began to pull towards the planet, and at the same time, Abbasser's voiceover sounded.
"Planetary mimicry model of the memory zone - AXC:D3, solid planet, no atmosphere, no traces of primitive life.
Simulated Enemy Army: The Rear Soldier Source Station of the Human Tyranid Empire, which is a gathering place for human marines and various lightly armored units. ”
With Abasser's words, the camera in the picture moved to a human base that Xue Hua was very familiar with.
There are more than twenty human barracks here, and each barracks has an outbuilding that doubles the productivity of the barracks.
In addition to the human barracks, there are other human structures here, including the planetary fortress with two heavy cannons on top of a crystal ore complex, and a large supply depot on the other side.
Outside the building, tens of thousands of Marines were weaving through the gaps in the building.
They were formed in neat columns, some on patrol duty, others on training.
From time to time, a large group of Marines would run out of the base entrance, and then soon another group of Marines would emerge from the barracks and regroup again.
Just as Xue Hua was watching a little preoccupied, Abbather's cold voice came from his ears.
"Mock the battle and destroy the human soldier source transfer station.
The base is located in the rear of the Tyranid Empire, and the swarm fleet raids it, which cannot be realized.
Only army tactics can be used, but large numbers of human marines will cost the swarm a lot of money.
Remnants of the alien nest were found, but the nest was weak and unable to reproduce the larvae.
The remaining larvae were used to hatch the swarm host, integrate the genes of the No. 1 test body into the host of the swarm, adjust the evolutionary bias, and hatch a new swarm host variant, the Flame Worm variant. ”
"Use the Poisonous Flame Insect Variant to attack the human base, destroy the Troop Source Transfer Station, and test the ability of the variant."
After Abbather finished saying these last words, Xue Hua felt that the control of the host of the few freshly hatched insect swarms had been transferred to his hands.
"Isn't this the evolutionary mission in the game campaign...... Xue Hua rolled his eyes and began to control the one hundred and fifty insect swarm hosts to slowly crawl in the direction of the human base.
The appearance of these more than 100 insect swarm hosts has not changed much compared with ordinary insect swarm hosts, but the incubator on their backs is no longer pulsing follicles, but a little strange light spot.
When the swarm hosts finally came to the bottom of a mountain cliff next to the human base, Xue Hua estimated the distance a little, and then let them take root.
However, they didn't expect that although the locusts hatched by the host of the swarm after taking root could fly, they couldn't fly to the human base at all, and all of them died out one after another because of the time limit for life.
This result made Xue Hua frown.
"The combat radius has become shorter... This is a disadvantage. ”
Then, he pulled the host of the swarm out of the roots, continued to move closer to the human base, and then put down roots again.
This time, the swarm of locusts hatched by the swarm hosts soon flew over the human base.
"It's a bug! Kill them! ”
"Fire into the sky! They're in the sky! ”
"Oh my God! There are so many of them! ”
"Mom! They washed down! ”
"Quickfire !!"
There was chaos in the human base, and Xue Hua observed the battle of the locusts through his consciousness.
It was just a virtual exercise, so Xue Hua could choose any angle he wanted to watch the battle.
He found that after evolving into the Flame Worm variant, the hatched locusts were noticeably more ferocious, and they rushed into the rain of bullets from the Marines in an almost frantic manner, killing hundreds of Marines with blue plasma beams from their mouths before they were wiped out.
Then, before the second wave of locust swarms could fly again, there was a big mess in the human base.
The bodies of the slain Marines quickly turned into a pile of black sand, and then, from each mass of black sand, four or five smaller locusts crawled out and pounced on the Marines who tried to dispose of their comrades' corpses.
"Oh my God! What the hell are these?! ”
"Be careful! Don't go over! ”
"It's on me! Get it down! Ahhhh ”
Once again, there was chaos in the human base.
And at this time, the second wave of hatched locusts flew into the sky......
