Seventeen tanks weighing at least a ton or more slammed into the soft mud, and then, blue-blue flames erupted from the bottom of the tank, lifting them to a height of one meter above the ground.

A colorful, viscous liquid flows out of the tank and changes dramatically as soon as it comes into contact with the air.

As the general control end, Su Xing just gave a rather vague order: to start building a complete base as quickly as possible in an area of 20,000 square kilometers.

These cluster-conscious cells followed this command and began the first stage of change.

The scene on the surface looked a little disgusting, with a metallic mud-like object constantly spreading outward around the landing site, and from time to time it would bulge into large and small bubbles of great light. In the process of proliferation, seventeen cells with different functions are constantly forming various organs and limbs, mercilessly plundering all available resources from their surroundings and quickly breaking them down into various basic elements for self-replication.

However, from Su Xing's point of view, this whole process is particularly terrifying.

Where the mud flowed, everything vanished, and the trees were cut off by slender black blades swinging at high speed, silently falling into the mud. Su Xing could clearly see that the moment the tree trunk touched the surface of the 'mud', hundreds of tiny arms stretched out from below and held it steadily. That's the real reason why there is no sound. It's just that it looks a little disgusting......

The grasses, shrubs, and even mossy rocks and ground are completely engulfed into bulges of different sizes as soon as they encounter the 'mud', and they shrink rapidly with the passage of time.

Forests and rivers could not stop the tide of creatures, and in just an hour, the ground within a radius of one kilometer was completely unrecognizable.

The deep darkness with a silver glow is the final color of the substance transformed by the 'marshmallows'. On the smooth and mirror-like flat ground, except for a few places where the undulations are more obvious due to the hills, the rest of the place has become a complete whole.

On this foundation, hundreds of buildings with obvious biological features have risen from the ground, the highest of which has reached a height of 70 meters.

Su Xing observed with great interest the grass and trees of this initial base. In his opinion, the composition of these buildings is quite interesting.

Take, for example, the gray-white tower-like buildings that are about five meters high, which are the largest in the world. Their function is simple, and while serving as an energy absorption and conversion device, they are also the most basic component of the entire base defense system.

In the real world, the final form of these towers would be slender needles that go more than 10 kilometers underground and convert energy by extracting geothermal energy. However, in the Vault world, there are no rock formations that deep. Dig down seven or eight kilometers at most, and you will enter a strange and inexplicable chaotic space, which is where the half-matter and half-energy layer exists.

So at present, these energy towers mainly obtain energy by absorbing light energy and autologous cold nuclear fusion. However, it doesn't make a lot of money for them. Because this is too resource-intensive, and at the same time, excessive spiritual power absorption will also have a subtle impact on the development of the entire base, making the combat creatures produced too dependent on spiritual power.

However, viruses are much more destructive to spiritual power than non-spiritual objects. In other words, spiritual power, magic power, divine power, or some other mysterious power, when facing viruses, it is easy for them to affect the stability of existence, resulting in all kinds of inexplicable mutations. It's just that the more powerful the spiritual power user, the more stable the spiritual attack will be.

According to records, when there are more than 10,000 monsters of different levels on the battlefield, an anomalous realm called "Rotten Heaven" will naturally arise. This kind of realm is fundamentally different from the corrupted space formed by the active corrosive space of the virus species, and it is an abnormal order established in the environment of normal order.

It's like a cancer cell, can you say it's not a cell, it's something else?

The existence of the Rotten Heaven is a bit similar to this situation, and no detection means, except for a few methods that can only be used by super powerhouses of the level of the Great Heavenly Emperor, cannot separate it from the normal order environment. And this thing has a rather scoundrel nature.,It can comprehensively suppress and affect the order that enters this range.,All kinds of shameless debuffs are stacked one after another.。 Percentage deduction attributes, bleeding does not stop, weapons and equipment damage rate greatly increases, poisoning...... It can even affect the luck of the underworld, making them make a little mess from time to time.

In order to minimize the impact of the Rotten Heaven on the soldiers fighting on the frontal battlefield, isolating the spiritual power operation environment from the outside world is a fairly effective means. All the equipment distributed by Heavenly Court to Dao soldiers was set up with a strict internal flow line of spiritual power, and there was almost no communication with the outside world. Docking will only occur when charged.

And if the proportion of spiritual power contained in the bodies of these combat creatures is too large, then when they fight the virus head-on, it is easy for them to have all kinds of situations, even if it is impossible to explode directly on the spot. However, if the design was to be airtight, these combat creatures would have to carry unnecessarily heavy armor on their backs, which would be almost a catastrophe for the production plan.

Although Su Xing had already taken this into account in the design, and designed a complete set of skin and hair with high-strength defense for combat creatures, as well as exoskeleton armor in key parts, no matter how it was, it was impossible to completely isolate the exchange of spiritual power from the outside world like a Taoist soldier.

Therefore, he can only minimize the degree of participation of spiritual power in the process of survival, as long as the concentration of spiritual power is suppressed at a certain amount, then the impact on the battle is still within an acceptable range.

After looking at the energy tower that was providing a steady stream of abundant energy for the base, Su Xing set his eyes on the tall building with six seats at the apex of the six-pointed star.

The six stout, wrought buildings that look like boiled corn serve as communications command centers.

As mentioned earlier, these cells are intelligent life forms with cluster consciousness, and their management mode is quite simple and straightforward. As the spire of the tower, it is naturally the most primitive and powerful general consciousness of the seventeen kinds of universal cells, and the second level is the semi-independent medium-sized group consciousness that has been given partial authority, which can be called sub-bases or some exceptionally powerful individuals, and the second level is the battlefield consciousness that commands the various combat biological clusters.

In essence, though, there is no difference between them. This structure greatly increases flexibility and reduces the problem of excessive data volumes caused by a large consciousness directing all actions.

This requires an extremely powerful signal booster to encrypt and reinforce the commands given by the general consciousness, after all, it is quite difficult to ensure smooth communication in the face of virus species.

And in the process of continuous differentiation, they will inevitably undergo various mutations that are not anticipated in the design scheme, and these variations may accumulate to form some kind of existence independent of the total consciousness. It's faint, but it's terrifyingly possible.

At this time, these direct signals sent by the communication command center can play a preventive role. Only cells that have differentiated according to the original design and subsequent designs derived from total consciousness will be able to receive these signals and unlock various permissions from them. Cells that have undergone uncontrolled mutations are quickly isolated and processed later.

Although this solution is a bit cumbersome, after all, the amount of computing power required to monitor the changes that may occur in each cell is also staggering. But in front of the irregular polyhedral building in the center of the initial base, this is nothing.

It's a creature that operates in a "double black box" mode – a quantum computer. Its original structure was an old-fashioned design turned out of the materials bought by Su Xing, and it was originally a black technology computer used to build a virtual world and cultivate data life in the "re-creation" project. Even in the Heavenly Divine Domain, this is the absolute most cutting-edge technology.

It is said that it is an old-fashioned design, but in fact, it is only because it has not been able to come up with a better alternative, so it has taken too long to be called old. This design is a reference to the "self-control" ability unique to four-star gods, which allows them to control the trajectory of even one atom. Of course, no one would do that under normal circumstances.

However, here, two modules with a black box structure are combined into a super lifeform that can be called artificial intelligent life. It scans itself every second, and it is no more difficult than the so-called internal vision, if it has to say, it is just that the 'body' is a little too big.

As for the arsenal that produces all kinds of combat creatures, it's relatively simple. After all, low-level combat creatures are nothing more than a pile of materials, and only when they reach the watershed of the three-star level will they need the participation of various other systems and technologies.

Twelve hours after Su Xing put the cultivation tank into the Vault World, the first two-star elite combat creature with four pairs of wings and capable of flying in the atmosphere at three times the speed of sound, the "Storm Salamander", roared out of the amniotic fluid and let out its first roar towards the sky. By this time, 300 square kilometers had been covered by various buildings and defenses.
