PS: Ahem, yesterday I couldn't be in good spirits, and today I'll have a chapter.

The Hive Small Planetary Galaxy, yes, it was the special galaxy that Fang Ning had encountered after escaping from the terminal exit galaxy when he had just come to the isolated star field, and he had come again.

There are many hive-like asteroids in the asteroid belt of this galaxy, and there are a large number of creatures called space bee swarms living in them.

Now again, the galaxy is still the same, the asteroid belt is the same, but the number of space bee colonies active in the galaxy has decreased significantly for a long time.

Obviously, I don't know if it's the starfish or the blue-bloods, they finally can't help it, and want to open up this galaxy and reopen a path to the terminal exit.

The hive asteroid is actually not very strong, and the general legion has the strength to clear it, but the position of this galaxy is a little awkward, very close to the terminal exit galaxy, and it has blocked an important shipping lane, both the starfish and the blue-blooded people want to get through, but they don't want to see the other party get through, so they have not been able to get through under the stalemate.

It wasn't until the Devouring Swarm arrived, and the two sides were busy fighting against the Devouring Swarm, and they didn't have the time to clear out the space swarm, so they survived.

Revisiting the old place, Fang Ning curiously took a closer look at these space bee colonies, and found that in this asteroid belt, there were a total of seventeen asteroid bee colony nests, among which one of the space bee colonies near the nest was exceptionally large in number, and the most strictly guarded, it was estimated to be the mother nest of the space bee colony.

Strictly speaking, this space bee colony is also a kind of Gestalt creature, which has initially generated a very simple social structure, and there is a probability that it will suddenly evolve into an intelligent civilization after an unknown number of thousands of years of evolution, or after some special changes, and become a new Gestalt civilization.

Unlike Xenomorphs and Xenos, this space swarm, although extremely xenophobic, should not become an extreme extinct civilization, but maybe, after all, this is a Gestalt civilization with only one master.

The foreign policy of a gestalt civilization like this mainly depends on the dominance of civilization, the dominance is fierce and cruel, the whole race must be fierce and cruel, the dominance likes peace, and the whole population must be indisputable.

But the character of life is fickle, and it is easy to change the personality because of certain things, and because of this, in the universe, the Gestalt civilization is not actually welcomed by other normal civilizations, in the terminology of the game, innate diplomacy -40.

Space swarms are creatures......

Fang Ning was actually quite interested, anyway, the current matter was not very urgent, he wanted to show off one of his ideas after staying for a while.

God's perspective unfolded, and his perspective spread out like a tide to the entire galaxy, and his will also spread, and he began to look at the asteroids of the swarm nest one by one, and he was looking for the space swarm queen in this swarm nest.

It didn't take much time to quickly find the location of the queen bee of the space swarm, and it was indeed the hive asteroid that the swarm guarded most closely, and the will that unfolded with God's perspective casually found a small hive hole and drilled into it, and entered the asteroid with a diameter of several hundred kilometers along the passage that extended in all directions.

The diameter of this passage is about three or four meters, which is very suitable for space bee colonies that are only two meters in size, and the edge of the passage is extremely smooth because there are space bee colonies entering and exiting at all times.

The further you go inside the hive asteroid, the fewer passages there become, and only a few passages in the back are connected to the deepest part of the asteroid, each of which is guarded by some space swarm swarms that are stronger than their peers.

Through the heavy guards, the passage became larger and larger, until the innermost perspective suddenly opened up, and a huge space appeared in front of Fang Ning, but what attracted his attention even more was a huge mountain of meat lying in the center of the huge space, that is, the queen bee of the space swarm.

This thing is four or five hundred meters high, thousands of meters long from the beginning to the end, and its bloated body is constantly undulating, and each undulation will lay a large number of bee eggs, and then there will be worker bees to move the eggs to the other side, where there is another passage, presumably to the hatchery and the like.

Fang Ning's perspective circled around this underground space a few times, he didn't go out of his way to look at this queen bee, only occasionally glanced at other places.

As the master of a huge bee colony, even if the size of the space bee colony is limited to one galaxy, the spiritual power possessed by this queen bee is also very powerful, Fang Ning learned the lesson of being discovered by the xenomorph mother queen last time and did not dare to look at the queen bee directly.

This lesson must also be remembered later, and no Gestalt civilization can be underestimated.

Even if the strength of this space bee colony is weak, it is only the population that is weak, and the spiritual power that dominates the entire population is not weak.

Fortunately, this queen bee is indeed far inferior to the xenomorph mother queen, and he is only looking at it now, it is not aware of his existence, but it seems to have a faint feeling, and several times it has felt the surging spiritual power echoing in this underground space.

There was no communication, just a glance at Fang Ning retracted his gaze.

Standing alone in the void, a seemingly thin but actually incomparably tough psionic shield isolated him from the cold space, Fang Ning pinched his chin and thought about the observation just now, his mind referring to the information about the space bee colony recorded in the universe in his palm.

The first time he passed through this galaxy before, he devoured some bee colony corpses, and in addition to transforming them into a small contribution point, the universe itself in the palm of his hand has the function of analyzing, and has completely analyzed the structure and genetic composition of the bee colony.

Space bee colonies are not purely carbon-based organisms, but carbon-based life as the main body, but their life structure contains some characteristics derived from silicon-based organisms, which is manifested in its metal-like hard shell, which allows them to survive directly in space, and can feed on minerals, which is a very magical life form.

Fang Ning was not interested in the combat power of the space swarm, but the ability to devour minerals.

In other words, he took a fancy to the mining capabilities and characteristics of this population.

Although they live in this asteroid belt and do not mine, a large number of space bee colonies fly around the asteroid belt every day just looking for desirable minerals to swallow, not mining, but there is no doubt that they have mining capabilities.

Of course, mining capacity is secondary, and the focus is on their unique life characteristics that are compatible with carbon-based and silicon-based life.

Outsiders definitely don't understand what the point is, at most it is a novelty, but for Fang Ning, this unique life characteristic is the focus of his attention.

Because, with this trait, these space swarms can survive in the universe in his palm.

Yes, it is not a divided galaxy, but other galaxies in the palm universe, which are compatible with the material universe and the void environment of the palm universe, and do not need to separate the galaxies of the palm universe to survive.

This is a heart disease that Fang Ning has always had, the universe in his palm is also the universe, and the various resources in it are also resources, so many galaxies, so many planetary meteorites, so many ores, they have never been able to be mined.

The cost of mining with robots is very large, and the cost of robot production itself is not much, but the maintenance cost is a large amount, and the robot is extremely lost in the harsh environment of space.

But if you replace it with a space bee colony, and through the queen bee consciously strengthens the mining ability, wouldn't this have a free mining army that does not require any maintenance fees?

The idea has been around for a long time, but I couldn't come back here before, and now I happened to pass by and complete the idea by the way.

Thinking of this, Fang Ning crossed his fingers and turned his wrist back and forth, stretched out his fingers and pointed them at the front lightly.

"Buzz!"

A circle of ripples swept in the cold void, and the huge queen bee in the depths of the hive planet opened her eyes violently, accompanied by a roar, the surging spiritual power surged, and an angry will quickly spread, and in an instant, the space swarm of the entire galaxy became angry, converging into a huge torrent towards the hive asteroid.

"The reaction is pretty fast!"

But it was too late, in order to succeed in one go, Fang Ning made a bloody effort this time, and the entire forty units of the cosmic contribution point in his palm burned, tearing a huge channel under the hive asteroid where the queen bee was, and the terrifying energy gushed out and turned into a huge energy net that stretched tens of millions of kilometers, aiming at the hive asteroid and the surrounding void with annoyance.

The unimaginable force caused the entire hive asteroid and the surrounding meteorites and space swarms to be annoyed, quickly contracted, and finally turned into a spherical energy net with a diameter of more than 1,000 kilometers and slowly sank.

The tides formed by the circle of energy smashed the meteorite asteroids, and the energy and debris were mixed into a surging tsunami that surged in all directions, and the massive meteorites in the asteroid belt were forcibly pushed away by the tides and squeezed and collided, thus triggering more meteorite collisions and triggering a series of chain reactions that spread farther away.

These Fang Ning didn't care, anyway, it's a barren galaxy, not even a player, no matter how chaotic it is, there won't be any big consequences, anyway, let's catch this swarm of space bees.

The power of the forty units of the cosmic contribution points in the palm of the hand is indescribable, and it is hard to move this group of space bees with a total number of nearly 10 million into the palm universe in one go, along with the hive.

When the connecting channel between the two universes slowly flattened out, and finally completely disconnected, Fang Ning disappeared in an instant, appearing in an unknown galaxy in the universe in his palm.

This is a very ordinary barren galaxy, a red giant, to say that it is different from other galaxies in the galaxy there are two asteroid belts forming a ring of galaxies, one is only three astronomical units away from the star, and the other is more than twenty astronomical units away from the star, already on the edge of the galactic gravitational well.

The hive that had been forcibly ingested into the universe in his palm was placed in the outer ring by him, and a huge net of energy squeezed through the surrounding meteorites and hung in the asteroid belt.

As Fang Ning's mind moved, the energy giant net shattered and disappeared, and the countless space swarms in it rushed frantically in all directions like bombs exploding, looking for unknown enemies.

A few minutes later, a strong spiritual force dispersed, and all the space bee swarms were recalled to surround the hive asteroid to guard, and small swarms of space bees scattered into the surrounding meteorite belt to explore.

Fang Ning observed for a while, nodded and turned to leave.

Judging from the current situation, these space bee colonies can indeed adapt to the different rules of the universe in the palm of his hand, which shows that his idea is feasible.

Temporarily settle them in this system, let them multiply and expand their populations, and only after a while when the outside is done with business, he will come back to find a way to adjust the bee colony.

If nothing else, at least this queen bee has to be trained to let him know his purpose, and adjust the body structure of the space bee colony through the queen bee, so that they can change their original living habits, and learn to mine every day in addition to looking for minerals to eat as food.

Then, after the size of the bee colony expands, find a way to divide the group, just like devouring the bee colony, divide different parent bodies and put them in other galaxies, form more colonies, and expand the scale.

Expanding the size of the population is the nature of the Gestalt species, and it is also the main means for the swarm species to dominate the powerful itself, and the fact that the space swarm did not spread before is not that the queen bee is unwilling, but that the space swarm cannot enter the hyperspace channel, and it is inseparable from the galaxy and cannot be divided into groups to expand the scale.

After all, a galaxy is so big that it can't multiply indefinitely.

Leave this alone for the time being, Fang Ning came out of the universe in the palm of his hand, and there were still many space bee colonies in the galaxy that had not been captured before, which would be chaotic in the galaxy because of the loss of the queen bee.

If these space bee colonies are left alone, they will all die after a while.

Normally, a dead queen swarm will reappear as a new queen after a period of chaos, but the problem is that the queen of the space swarm is not dead, so these abandoned swarms cannot give birth to new queens.

Fang Ning thought about it, reopened a small channel, connected the hive galaxy in the universe in his palm, and the breath from the queen bee caused the swarm of bees in the entire galaxy to scurry almost at the same time, and then rushed towards this side in a swarm, turning into a torrent and rushing into the channel.

Anyway, there are hundreds of thousands, and these will be their own property in the future, and they can't be wasted.

Take away the space bee colony, this galaxy will have no value, the bee colony has no habit of mining before, there is no ore left in the galaxy, Fang Ning casually glanced at it, clapped his hands and left this galaxy.

Through the hyperspace channel, I returned to the previous galaxy according to the path that I left from the terminal exit system, and as soon as I came out of the wormhole, I saw a scuffle.

A small fleet of devouring bees is chasing down a group of blue-bloods and starfish mixed fleets, and it is also amazing that two civilization players who should be mortal enemies have been forced to unite under the extinction offensive of devouring swarms.

Of course, Fang Ning didn't care about this kind of nosy matter, and left after watching it for a while.

But when he made a detour to the vicinity of the wormhole on the other side of the galaxy, the wormhole energy tide surged, and two smaller fleets rushed out one after the other, and then about ten minutes or so a fleet of devouring swarms rushed out.

The three parties scuffled, and soon the bluebloods and starfish were at a disadvantage, and the two sides joined forces to devour the swarm.

Then, another fleet of devouring swarms rushed out of the wormhole, and the fleet of blue-bloods and starfish quickly retreated, and the three parties chased after each other to the other side of the galaxy, and when passing through the asteroid belt, an asteroid suddenly exploded when the devouring swarm fleet passed, and there were already bombs placed in ambush.
