Chapter 190
Chapter 190
Abathur is both smart and timid.
After learning about the characteristics of the Extremis virus from Xia Yan, it insisted on finding a planet for practical application testing instead of conducting this relatively dangerous process on Leviathan.
"Kruze 5-2a, a rocky satellite. There are a certain number of lower organic life forms, and the distance is about 90 light years. It can be used for sequence capability testing." Abathur has already thought about where to find the little boy. White rat and target.
After the insect swarm arrived at the Orion Nebula, under Dagos's order, they quickly ran around the Orion Nebula.
Dagos already knows where biomass is abundant and where the environment is harsh.
He also chose to follow the example of the Overmind and arrange the swarm's new hive planets on some volcanic planets flowing with lava.
Harsh environments can easily cause mutations, which may be fatal to humans, but this is not a bad thing for the insect swarm. Isn’t hunting insects a matter of survival of the fittest?
Although most mutations are harmful, as long as there are enough samples, a few beneficial mutations can always be screened out.
"Okay, I want to see the effect as soon as possible." According to Abathur, there are only low-level organic life on that planet, so he has no sense of guilt.
The insect swarm has not yet been exposed to the sight of the major forces in the galaxy, and it is an extremely powerful secret weapon in his hand.
However, this weapon must not be used casually. Its side effects are too great and can completely destroy the ecosystem of any planet.
This satellite named Kruse 5-2a is very interesting.
Its size and mass are close to those of the Earth, and even its acceleration due to gravity is similar.
But the mass of the gas giant planet as its main star is not very large. It is only at the level of Jupiter and Saturn combined.
Theoretically, it simply cannot capture such a huge planet-level rocky planet as its own satellite.
"Leviathan is deploying new types of hunting insects to the ground." Isa is still responsible for projecting troops to the ground.
"Most of the local primitive creatures are low-level, egg-laying, gregarious, cold-blooded, shelled, and chitinous." Abathur took out some samples of local creatures.
Well, according to the classification method on earth, they are considered reptiles.
This animal looks a bit like a pangolin.
It's just much larger and not a mammal.
A little bigger than a NO.
"Living in groups, there are leaders. Well... there is self-awareness." Before the poisonous explosion started, Abathur first became a biologist.
"A new type of desperate hunting insect can climb over cliffs with great speed and great power. It is no longer compatible with regenerative insectic acid. High temperature destroys regenerative biomass." But this is nothing at all.
The poisonous explosion will explode in the end anyway.
"Let one go first."
"The quantity is too small..." Abathur shook his little head and did not agree with Xia Yan's approach.
"That's enough. I just want to see the power of a single target first."
"Deployment is in progress." Dagoth's dull voice sounded. It would not listen to Abathur at all.
Among the group of dark orange hunting insects, a Poison Explosion rolled out.
It rolled rapidly along the relatively flat rocky ground, like a thrown bowling ball.
"Hiss~" Those reptiles noticed the "ball" rolling toward them on the ground.
However, there is a cliff more than ten meters high between them, so they just roar in a low voice to warn each other not to get close.
But the cliff of more than ten meters high is not a big problem for hunting insects, it is just a small problem of charging up and taking off.
"Roar?!" The leader of the reptiles noticed the ball that rashly broke into its territory.
It was outraged.
"Boom!" However, before the leader and his younger brothers could unleash their fury, the ball instantly turned into a huge fireball.
"Destroy all hostile creatures. The insect swarm is unstoppable." Abathur waved its appendages, looking very excited.
Because the power of Extremis to hunt insects is much greater than it expected, this shows that its work is very successful.
It was also much larger than Xia Yan expected.
It can almost hold up a half-ton aerial bomb, and the high-temperature damage caused by it is far greater than the former.
But then he thought about it, it would not be a good thing if such power was out of control, "Are they stable?"
Abathur thought for a while, "Extremis virus, strengthens the brain, strengthens the mind. The insect swarm, obedient, human, the mind is elusive. The original virus sequence, which has flaws, has been improved."
In just a few days, Abathur has improved the sequence of the Extremis virus.
As expected of him, he plays an important role in both the Dominator Swarm and the Queen Swarm.
"Collect the biomass of this planet. Build it into a insect nest." This satellite is in a good position. It is located in the dark dust cloud near the bottom of the Horsehead Nebula. It is hidden enough to be difficult for passing spacecraft to detect. What an anomaly.
Moreover, this planet is also a volcanic planet, which is very suitable for the development of insect swarms.
Whether it is Char, the red stone planet where Lei Ritian helps Tosh mine the gold mine, or Zerus, the birthplace of the zerg, they are all volcanic planets.
As for cherishing animal protection and interstellar species diversity, this is not an issue he is responsible for considering.
He only cares about whether the swarm can ruthlessly crush all enemies in its path like it did in the Koprulu sector.
"Alert, some king insects have detected a small fleet, and this fleet is trying to capture our king insects." This is not a good thing. Without the relay command of the king insects, the insect swarm is just a mess, a group of out-of-control beasts. .
And when he used his spiritual energy to connect the senses of the hunted king insects, Xia Yan also discovered something not very good.
He didn't expect that the swarm would actually encounter Sovereigns.
They seemed to be trying to capture the king bug out of curiosity.
This group of golden-skinned weirdos looks very similar to humans on Earth, except for their skin color and reproduction method.
However, they are very stingy and will retaliate.
Of course, if you can't afford it, let's talk about it separately.
But as long as someone or a force they can afford offends them, the Sovereigns can continue to hunt them down, or offer high-priced bounties to kill them that would make most of the dangerous elements who affect public order in the galaxy flutter.
Star-Lord and his friends are the best examples, just because Rocket became a cis Latin...
Although the so-called Guardians of the Galaxy have not yet been established, Star-Lord has not yet found the Power Stone, and he is still scolded by Yondu every day in the spaceship.
Sovereign exploration ships were discovered by Overlords and Euglens wandering around the edges of planets and moons' atmospheres.
And, what's even more terrible is that these guys noticed the strange floating creature called King Insect.
and tried to capture, but without success.
The King Insect is also a psychic creature that can jump and is fully capable of crossing the starry sky. Naturally, it will not be easily captured.
But these Sovereigns are crazy.
They just want to catch a few king insects and take them back.
"Ignorance, the insect swarm, is invincible. Provoke the insect swarm and seek death." Although Abathur did not say it explicitly, looking at it, it was obvious that he supported attacking the Sovereigns.
"Overlord, this group of arrogant creatures is very likely to expose us to the sight of other civilizations in this galaxy. The scale of the insect swarm is not large enough to compete with so many potential enemies. We'd better put this group of Sovereigns away Deal with them all." Dagos also believed that they should be dealt with directly.
It learned from Xia Yan that some of the enemies that the insect swarm may face in this galaxy are the same as the protoss and have the ability to directly destroy an entire planet.
The insect swarm currently does not have enough insect nest planets. If several of the main hive planets are burned, it will be very damaging to the vitality.
Unlike the insect swarms that bloomed everywhere in the Koprulu sector, the current insect swarms only occupy a few inaccessible corners of the Orion Nebula.
"Let me think about it..." Xia Yan was weighing the pros and cons of attacking the Sovereigns.
The Sovereans are not human beings, and their genetic technology is already very advanced.
They can definitely solve the genetic code of the insect swarm.
No reason, just because they also have the ability to adjust genetic sequences.
Their larvae are developed in specialized cultivation equipment, and their genes are completely adjustable and controllable.
For such a race with advanced biotechnology, the only result of deciphering the genetic code of the insect swarm can only be pure killing and destruction.
This was an unquestionable fact from the moment Amon transformed some of the original zerg into swarms and forcibly gave them a powerful hive mind.
The swarm of insects is a cruel tool he uses to destroy other Xel'Naga creations. Their whole bodies are dedicated to war and slaughter.
Even later, Sister Kai injected some humanity into the insect swarm through the education of the insect mothers of the second and fifth Zagara.
For example, after destroying Amon, Zagara planned to lead the insect swarm to live a stable life.
But as long as we are in the right environment, the insect swarm will always be the same insect swarm.
Cruel, ruthless, efficient, powerful.
"... Then deal with them. Dagos, let the swarm destroy them quietly without giving them any chance to ask for help." Xia Yan thought for a while and decided to eliminate this Sovereign expedition. .
"Understood, the insect swarm army is ready and ready to go at any time."
Both king bugs and eye bugs have psychic organs that can cause certain interference to communication signals.
Although it cannot completely block the signal like the protoss, it is enough to interfere.
Then the insect swarm army pressed forward again, completely killing the opponent in one wave.
"The Sovereigns are highly evolved, have complete genetic sequences, and have research value. I suggest you obtain samples." After hearing Xia Yan's brief introduction to the Sovereigns, Abathur immediately thought of finding a few Sovereigns. Dissect and experiment with ideas.
All highly evolved and advanced intelligent life forms, in Abathur's opinion, have research value.
It can't wait to use the Sovereigns as its research material.
At the same time, dozens of light years away, the crew of Sovereign's exploration spacecraft were quarreling.
They have wasted a lot of time here in order to obtain a sample of a king insect.
Their original mission was to return to their home planet via this place.
The idea of catching king bugs came to the captain personally, because they first noticed the big ones floating out of these portholes.
These large floating space creatures, tens of meters tall, greatly attracted his interest.
And their spacecraft still has extra carrying capacity, so there is no problem in loading one or two samples.
However, going around in circles for almost a week made some passengers lose their patience.
