Chapter 37 Snail Dwelling

A few days later, the Continental fleet arrived one after another, and a research station was established on the island of Vom.

Zhang Tong manipulated the Demon Scorpion Puppet and directly found a lot of useful information from the memories of the Demon Scorpion Clan, which made the research work smoother. The establishment of scientific research stations is beneficial to mankind. All the main forces are watching this small island, so as soon as the island is in danger, they will know for the first time that, unlike the last time, humanity is almost destroyed and the Green Alliance knows nothing about it.

The Zerg base is an important thing that money can't buy. The more the mainland values it, the more it will be able to protect the island.

Thanks to the combined efforts of thousands of robots and humans, the fields in the desert in the middle of the island have suddenly more than doubled. In addition to Spirit Beast Grass and Cultivation Grass, a large number of other Spirit Grasses and Spirit Fruits were also planted, mainly low-level plants that were mainly edible and auxiliary. In the mountains near the island, there are large, rudimentary farms to raise all kinds of spirit animals.

Living quarters are gradually taking shape, and nearby it is planned to build a square dedicated to the use of a dock for warships.

Warm air, fresh air, vibrant fields, spirit animals grazing leisurely in Muyuan, people are either practicing or helping to reproduce.

Everything is in order on the island!

On the island, there is a secret place that most people don't know about. There is not much space inside, but the soil is very fertile.

A row of green vines stretched out in the corners of the wall. Zhang Tong carefully watered the fine crystal fertilizer. This is the seedling of the vain gourd. The gourd of vanity is a precious spirit. The planting cycle is relatively long, and the cost and difficulty are high. As long as the vanity gourd grows up, everyone can sell it for a high price. It is a plantation. There is a farm not far from here. Laser bats are also being bred.

Two things come from the virtual world. They are the main objects of cultivation.

Zhang Tong walked around the corner, the wall writhed, and a passage cracked in the middle. The breeding room is part of the base, and the soil layer is the active organization of the base. The base can only simulate an environment suitable for growth while delivering energy to the soil. It can even synthesize special biological substances such as ripening drugs, aphrodisiacs, etc. According to the changes of the plant, the growth and standing reproduction are accelerated, which greatly shortens the growth cycle and greatly improves the life rate.

Zhang Tong had just arrived on the island. When he saw the desolate island, he thought the Zerg were a bunch of low-level, incompetent, intelligent creatures who didn't know how to grow or reproduce.

Life sciences and technology now appear to be the mainstay of the insect community.

Zerg are better at discovering the potential of life.

Outside the breeding room is a long corridor, with wriggling walls of flesh on the left and right, and the air is cloudy and difficult to breathe. After all, the Zerg base is the stuff of the Scorpion Family, and the Scorpion Family doesn't need to breathe. The corridor is very long, connecting more than 100 breeding biological rooms, and it is an advanced biological cultivation base.

"Wood, how did you get out?"

In a small hall, Lei Ming and Lin Caiyan had been waiting for a long time.

"I'm watching the gourd grow."

"The biobase will take care of them, so we don't have to worry. Today, I found a couple of interesting places. I'll show you. It's sure to be an eye-opener. ”

Zhang Tong was a little surprised. "Did you find anything new?"

The breeding area of the Zerg base is actually a newly discovered functional area. The structure of the Zerg base is more complex than expected, and many functions have yet to be explored. After these days of constant exploration, surprises appear from time to time.

Lin Caiyan was surprised, "This time it's great!

Zhang Tong suddenly became interested, "Really, take me to see it!"

The two men circled through several passages in the Zerg base and finally entered a huge palace, a place that had never been discovered before. At this moment, there were many people here, including people from the mainland, as well as Long Hao and Leng Yun, who were all present.

Zhang Tong glanced inside.

This hall is completely different from the others. It gives people a... Very uncomfortable feeling!

The whole temple was full of potholes, bulging tumor-like stuff, and even worse, it was full of holes, like a honeycomb. People who suffer from severe phobias will surely faint on the spot at the sight of such a disgusting scene.

Lin Caiyan said, "It's true that it's ugly, but it's a good place!"

At the center of countless huge honeycomb tumors, there is something shaped like a crater. Zhang Tong saw several mainland researchers pour more than 100 coins from the crater. A controlled scorpion golem began to give commands with his soul, and the whole room squirmed even more violently. Suddenly, an ugly worm with a thick thigh was squeezed out of a large tumor. As soon as the worm appears, it swells and begins to change shape.

"Bugs?"

Zhang Tong was slightly stunned.

Lin Caiyan nodded and said, "Yes, the evil scorpion family calls this the Hall of Ten Thousand Insects or the Hall of Mother Worms. A special place to keep worms!"

[Manwormdo] is the name of the scorpion family. It is an integral part of the base and is part of the biological arsenal.

It's filled with a myriad of things to go to the hive. In fact, they are a private Zerg mother nest from which thousands of different types of eggs can be raised. This is much more powerful than insect nests on the continent. It is possible to cultivate insects of various functions, and even combine several insects to directly cultivate synthetic organisms.

Insects that reproduce from insect nests are known as protozoa.

Protozoa themselves do not have any fighting power, but they are the product of cutting-edge biotechnology. It is a vehicle for the study of the scorpion civilization.

Protozoa are equivalent to larvae.

A magical life of many potentials contains great potential. They are like stem cells that can differentiate into a variety of functional cells under certain conditions. When protozoa are fed different developmental information, they become various mature individuals.

This biological information is actually a Zerg template stored in the Hall of Ten Thousand Worms.

In some ways, protozoa have the same effect as wandering bugs near the main Zerg base in the computer game StarCraft.

Zhang Tong was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. "Is it really that bad?"

Long Hao walked over and said, "There are thousands of strange insect templates hidden inside. With protozoa as a carrier, they can directly develop into corresponding insects. If we are not satisfied with the existing template, there is a living complex opposite. We can combine several templates and then synthesize new synthetic life, theoretically providing enough energy. There are countless types of worms that we can make. The Zerg Warcraft outside this realm cannot be compared to the Zerg Warcraft on the continent. Your nest is shabby by comparison!"

Leng Yun saw with his own eyes that the researchers on the continent were like pinching plasticine, combining several worms together to finally generate new worms, but creating a new worm was very expensive. If we want to develop new types of worms, let alone humans, Chinese mainland's financial resources are not enough.

Because synthesis is not directional, and there is also the possibility of failure and mutation.

Most of them become weaker after synthesis. However, once a new worm or mutated worm appears, the relevant information will be remembered by the base and become a completely new template that can be produced directly in the future.

Scorpions have enough templates to build any Zerg army.

"Great!"

"Great!"

Zhang Tong is very grateful for this.

"The cost of worm production is not low," Lei Ming said. The greater the cost, the higher the cost. Particularly powerful worms require special materials to manufacture. We can produce insects with the ability to collect and grow, and then collect relevant materials abroad, and then make more powerful insect-resistant products. ”

Zhang Tong has 290,000 yuan, which sounds like a lot. However, the awakened Zerg base is nowhere near enough to absorb energy from the island alone.

Although it is not fully activated yet, the awake part is less than one-fifth. Even so, it requires a lot of energy. Ordinary energy can be replaced by other energy substances. However, the normal functioning of the base was far from enough. It also requires the essence of life provided by refined crystals. The bottom line of daily consumption is about 1,000 yuan. If you use ordinary energy, the more you consume.

Zhang Tong must set aside no less than 100,000 yuan for the energy supply of the base.

The other $50,000 will be set aside for daily expenses. The cultivation and breakthrough of other varieties, as well as the need for breeding and breeding, are not large enough for the current population, nor are the scale of cultivation and breeding large enough. As for the rest of the money, Zhang Tong plans to spend it in the virtual world and then buy another Necronomicon or other useful things. Zhang Tong can also buy some precious spiritual herbs and animals from the secret shop, and use them to make money after large-scale breeding.

"After the battle a few days ago, the Zerg base is basically devoid of additional strength. Now the defense of the island is almost equal to zero. ”

"We are severely short of resources. It's best to collect Void materials from the outside and gather useful resources to build defenses. ”

Zhang Tong didn't think about it, although the alliance gave some resources, and picked up a little from the Zerg, most of them are low-level resources, which are used to build houses, make low-level items, ordinary gold smelting, refining medicines, and cooking, which are not a problem, but they cannot be used to develop this island.

Lei Ming suddenly had a good idea and said, "There is a collection insect called the Skynet Worm in the Ten Thousand Worms Hall, which is a very good resource collection worm-like monster. If an extraterritorial mine is found, the Skynet worm can directly lay the mine. If no mines are discovered, Skynet Worms can also condense from the void and convert a large amount of trace matter and energy into high-grade energy crystal fragments and void matter. Not only can these things be used on their own, but they sell very well!"

Zhang Tong looked at it. It takes at least 5,000 yuan to cultivate a Netflix. He said, "Let's start with a couple of Netflix." Take the carrier out and use the lidar to find out if there are any void mines nearby. ”

"Good!"

Zhang Tong asked again, "Didn't you say that there are a few areas with special functions?

"There are indeed some. Lin Caiyan playfully said: "There is one place that is absolutely unexpected. It is no worse than a breeding chamber for ten thousand insects, or even worse. ”
