Chapter 558: Test and Wait
"Finally it worked. ā
Seeing the incomparably huge larvae in front of him, a smile appeared on the corner of Ye Ren's mouth.
At this moment, crawling in front of Ye Ren was an incomparably huge black larva, this larva was like a silkworm or a caterpillar, its abdomen was slightly enlarged, and its body was more than ten meters long, at first glance, it seemed to be about the same length as the fire dragon alien worm, but in fact, the body of this larva was thicker and larger.
When Ye Ren created it, he didn't consider the combat performance at all, so this larva was designed with only one purpose, and that purpose naturally goes without saying, that is production.
The huge larva is covered with a thick layer of black hard armor, and the thickness of this carapace is even thicker than that of the Hidden Fire Dragon, which encapsulates the larva itself perfectly, and without this layer of carapace, this seemingly huge larva has almost no means of fighting the enemy.
If you don't pay attention to size, this larva is really very similar to some very fat larvae.
Ye Ren did not implant too many combat gene components in the body of this larva, whether it was the phosphine oxyacetylene compound space capsule, or the insect wing gene, or other composite combat arthropods, Ye Ren did not evolve at all.
Ye Ren just gave this larva a brain, and the linkage of the three-level brain utilization rate, coupled with the cloud computing capabilities of the hive network, is enough to make this larva have a not weak IQ.
For example, those genetic components used for reproduction or production, Ye Ren took special care of them.
The egg-laying organs, the progeny are strengthened, the eggs are laid at a super-fast speed, and the two lipid glands that honey crystalline lipid are all precisely and skillfully combined in the body of the larvae by the leaf kernels. In the head, far away from the abdominal cavity, Ye Ren also implanted the genetic components of the hive network in the brain.
Of course, in order for this bulky and sluggish larva to be able to move reluctantly. Ye Ren more or less got a few pairs of arthropods, and in addition to the three pairs of arthropods used to support his body. Ye Ren, a digging maniac, naturally has to give the larvae a pair of special arthropods specially used to dig the soil, this arthropod really can't do anything else except for digging the soil, at most it can only assist in eating or something.
"Theoretically, it should be about the same, so let's test it again. ā
Ye Ren lowered his head and muttered for a while, and finally chose to use the test function of the creation space to test the efficiency and performance of this alien insect.
The results weren't particularly good, but they weren't bad.
"Sure enough, it partially corresponds to my conjecture. Looking at the two completely different insects in front of him, Ye Ren touched his chin as if he were muttering to himself. A trace of clarity flashed in his eyes, and many of the confusions in his heart were naturally solved.
At this moment, there were two alien insects in front of Zai Yeren.
One of them is modeled after the queen of insects, wearing black armor, fierce momentum, sharp arthrops and pincer jaws, spewing flames from time to time, which seems extremely dangerous.
The latter is a non-dangerous larva, and although it is still large, it does not seem to be very lethal.
And right now. Behind these two females are densely packed with a lot of alien insects.
However, if you look at it with the naked eye, it is obvious that there are not many insects based on the queen worm, and there are many more insects based on larvae. According to a rough count, the number of alien insects is at least about 30 more.
"The only difference between larval females and queens is genetic selection......"
Ye Ren habitually pondered, and deduced several uncertain conclusions according to his own concept: "I did not completely integrate the genes of the larva, but only fused the parts I needed, and at the same time, I used the creation space to debug it, making its belly larger and more rationalized. ā
"And the queen worm. Ye Ren focused his attention on the postworm-type female worm.
"Because I have all the genes in it, and its reproductive organs are not as large as the larvae, although the structure is still reasonable. But there isn't a lot of space available. ā
"If that's the case..."
Ye Ren frowned, not knowing what he had in mind. Suddenly put down the research of the two female worms in front of him, and immediately began to fabricate another kind of alien worm.
This is a cockroach-type insect that is indistinguishable in every way. However, when Ye Ren created it, he canceled its air storage bag.
Then, Ye Ren gave an order to the two virtual insect queens.
"Full effort to produce this new alien insect. ā
After giving such an order, the two female worms immediately began to do so, because the creation of the zĆ o space itself is used by the system for calculation and debugging, so even if Ye Ren does not comply with the rules in this, there is no problem, and soon the two female worms began to mass-produce this new alien worm.
"It's a little bit faster than the rate of producing cockroach-type bushes, but it's not very noticeable. ā
After carefully observing for a while, Ye Ren also used the timer generated out of thin air in the creation space to find out some places that made him pay attention, and at the same time, he also confirmed a conclusion.
"The more complex the genes, the longer it takes to produce?"
Ye Ren said, and casually erased the new alien worm, and then created a kind of alien insect with the same gene as the cockroach alien insect, the same size, but the structure is extremely complex, and conducted a test.
"Hmm... The complex structure will also prolong the production time. ā
After getting the conclusion again, Ye Ren nodded here, in this way, the size of the body also determines the production speed, that is to say, the production speed of the mother worm will be determined according to three factors, namely the complexity of the gene, the complexity of the structure, and the size of the body size.
The more homogeneous the structure, the more genetically simple, and the smaller the size, the faster it will be produced.
Of course, there may also be something that Ye Ren doesn't know about for the time being
kind of hidden factor, but that's another story.
Now Ye Ren can verify a total of two things, one of which is that the production speed of the queen worm is related to the insect itself, and the other thing is that the production speed of the queen worm itself is also related to its structure.
"It's a little troublesome......"
Ye Ren's brows furrowed slightly, although he had already guessed some of this speculation at the beginning, but if this was really the case, it was indeed difficult to deal with some places.
For example, the queen worm who has always maintained a strong combat power.
Theoretically. Ye Ren can debug the insect queen, that is to say, Ye Ren can completely cancel the combat power of the insect queen, and completely revoke those complex structures and phosphoroxyacetylene compound space sac genes. Even when necessary, even the air bag and insect wings are discarded, and it is completely turned into a production machine. In this way, the production speed can be increased by at least one-third.
However, if this happens, the queen loses all the ability to resist, and once the nest is damaged, the queen will not be able to escape or fight with the strength of the individual, and can only wait for death in despair.
The strong benefits brought by the first type made Ye Ren moved, but the income was also proportional to the risk, and Ye Ren had to think carefully about the gains and losses.
"There is no specific reference here for the production rate of the female worm. Otherwise, you can see how much difference there is between you and the queen of worms. ā
Touching his chin, Ye Ren frowned and thought for a while, and finally planned to go out first.
"Forget it, for now, my idea is that the main development is not a war, the mother worm is hidden deep in the underground or the depths of the seabed, theoretically it should not be too threatened, and the premise is to ensure the speed of development. ā
Ye Ren finally chose a larval-like female worm, anyway, he could cancel this type of army in the future and create a new female worm that was more suitable for alien insects, so now of course he chose a larval-like female worm with a faster production speed. And Ye Ren still has a special idea that has not been implemented, and this idea still has to be done after going out.
In a flash of thought, Ye Ren had already given an order to the system.
Exit the evolutionary space.
The space around it quickly distorted and blurred. It was as if a large amount of water vapor had suddenly evaporated and diffused, and when this special blur gradually disappeared, Ye Ren had already returned to the hive.
After the worm, lay a new alien egg to try.
Ye Ren moved in the direction where the insect queen was, and at the same time directly used the psychic link to contact the insect queen.
Yes, Father.
The queen didn't say much, just quietly obeyed the order.
Soon, Ye Ren came to the edge of the hive, which was some distance from the sea. However, because there is an underground river, the queen can directly produce roving sea insects here. By dropping their eggs directly into the rushing currents, these sea worms can be linked to the nest network once they are born. Locate and follow the underground river into the ocean.
However, although Ye Ren arrived quickly this time, he did not wait for what he wanted.
Father, what the hell is the new worm?
There was a hint of doubt in the queen's tone.
"Oh, it's a kind of secondary insect queen that can reproduce and dominate alien insects, what's wrong?" Ye Ren glanced at the demeanor of the insect queen and explained calmly: "Don't worry, they won't betray you, and the role of these secondary insect queens is only to produce, which is different from you." ā
⦠Is that so?
The red crystal-like insect compound eyes of the insect queen flashed a strange look: It turned out to be the offspring used to produce, no wonder it was like this, since it was my father's intention, then I will do my best to produce it.
"Huh?"
Ye Ren keenly noticed the words of the insect queen: "No wonder what happened?"
When I made the eggs, I felt that I needed to consume almost unimaginable nutrients to divide the cells, which was very different from all the alien insects I had produced before, and I was puzzled that I asked my father.
"Oh, that's it. ā
Ye Ren nodded, it seems that this is indeed the case, and the production speed of the production type insect is probably much slower.
Thinking of this, Ye Ren raised his head and asked, "Queen worm, how long do you think it will take for this egg to be produced?"
I don't know.
The queen replied seriously: I'm afraid it will be difficult to produce it in a day.
"Huh?"
Hearing what the insect queen said, Ye Ren began to get serious: "Is there any problem with the nutrients?"
"Squeak~"
The queen snorted at this.
Father, the hive space already has a lot of nutrients to use, and although it may take a lot of time and nutrients to produce this egg, I think the nutrient reserves are sufficient.
"Well, then you can produce it with all your might, I happen to be fine, waiting for you here. ā
Ye Ren nodded, and had no intention of leaving the insect queen.
Anyway, he still has three kinds of insects that can be created, Ye Ren feels that he should not be idle, no matter how bad he is, he can chat with the queen of insects, or sleep or something, because if you calculate carefully, it seems that you haven't slept seriously for a long time, and it's okay to relax a little.
Thinking of this, Ye Ren was not in a hurry to see the eggs of the female worm, but first found a stone, cut a plane with his star bone blade, and then sat on it.
Just when Ye Ren was still thinking about some things that he didn't have, a small group of sapper-type insects crawled out of the various caves one after another, holding some crystals of different colors in their mouths, and handed them towards the queen of insects
Handed it over.
"Huh?"
Ye Ren's attention was obviously attracted by the contents of the mouths of these strange insects.
Father, this is the crystallization of nutrients that I have made.
When the insect queen saw Ye Ren's doubts, she also explained.
"Oh?" Ye Ren stretched out his hand, and immediately two or three sapper-type alien insects took nutrient crystals in their mouths and handed them to Ye Ren's hand.
Ye Ren used his electromagnetic vision and his original vision to take a closer look, and found that these three palm-sized nutrient crystals were actually very beautiful, feeling that they were just a thing to eat, but they were unexpectedly crystal clear, without a trace of impurities mixed in them, two of them were red and one was green, these three nutrient crystals were oval-shaped, and they seemed to be very dense, Ye Ren could feel that these three nutrient crystals had a heavy texture when they were held in his hands.
Of course, it's just from the point of view of ordinary people, after all, Ye Ren has no problem kicking a tank now.
"This thing feels ...... It's okay to use it directly as an ornament, right?"
Ye Ren stared at the transparent and crystalline nutrient crystals in his hand, and had already begun to think about it in his heart, whether to make a bracelet or ring or something to give to Meng Meng or Dai Lin.
You can usually take it to play, and eat it directly when you are hungry.
"Well, it seems a bit of a trick to think about it, but anyway, I have to taste it first. Ye Ren touched his chin, and then directly opened his mouth to gnaw at a red crystal.
