Chapter 048: A New Swarm

"Rich in nutrients and able to grow in any environment?" The military top brass frowned, holding the scientists' analysis of the fungus blanket in their hands.

"What about in a vacuum?" They flipped through the report and found no report of its survival in the vacuum.

"It doesn't die in a vacuum, it turns into a lump in a vacuum, and then absorbs all kinds of radio waves, signals, radiation, and other energy, and then slowly grows up. Of course, if there is sun, they will grow faster. "The chief biological botanist is an uncle in his fifties, and his hair is a little pale, but he can stand here at the age of fifty, and he is obviously the best of the best, the genius of the genius.

After entering the interstellar age, mankind has completely entered the era of elite selection, and the thirst for elites, especially geniuses, is unrestrained and far from enough.

All mankind, or that group of high-level people, finally understand that it is not those ordinary mediocre talents who lead mankind forward, but geniuses, who will dig out the geniuses and then do special training, teach and cultivate them in advance, and then these geniuses will quickly blossom and bear fruit, such as those geniuses who are very biased, who can graduate from college at the age of 13, graduate school at the age of 15, and have begun to study their own topics at the age of 17 or 8.

If in the previous earth era, people did not fully tap genius, then after entering the cosmic age, human beings have excavated the development of genius from beginning to end.

For example, the biologist in his fifties in front of him is the embodiment of the blossoming of this policy, although he is only in his fifties, but in fact he has been working for more than 30 years, and now after 30 years of hard work, he has finally become a generation of scholars and has become a person who resists the Ding Ding of biology.

This time, the Zerg analysis and explanation were all done by him.

He and his scientists worked to decipher the composition of the blanket as quickly as possible, but the results did not satisfy the military.

He is indeed a rare genius, but it is clear that the war that has been going on since the time of war, especially after the human race entered the starry sky, has greatly increased the power and authority of the military.

Even a genius like him can't shake in front of the military.

There are as many powers as there are obligations, and the military dies the most every year, of course.

They frowned, including Lieutenant General Vatonev, and more than a dozen lieutenant generals sat in the round conference room, silent.

"The only known way is to use a flame to quickly evaporate their water, and then mummify them, and the 50% water in the body will quickly lose its vitality, and then they will be extremely efficient sources of protein when they are crushed into powder."

"Of course, there are some substances that are toxic to humans and cannot be eaten directly, but if chemicals are added to neutralize them, they can be detoxified and become an excellent source of meal replacement." His words made the generals' brows move slightly.

Battle-hardened, they soon found the usefulness of the fungus blanket.

Although they don't dare to put it on their own planet, the fungus blanket can be placed in outer space, as long as there is sunlight, this thing can grow, absorb all kinds of radiation, and can almost be used as [cosmic pasture] for them.

As long as you take a certain amount of time to harvest it, you can get an endless supply of food.

Human beings have been engaged in meal replacements since the Middle Ages, which was originally a substitute food for astronauts in space, then became a favorite of weight loss and fitness enthusiasts, and has now become an indispensable military material in the army.

Only a small bottle of water and a packet of meal replacement powder can make a person in a desperate situation without any logistics survive for at least three days, and if there is exoskeleton armor around him to electrolyze water, even in a place without any oxygen, he can last for at least a day.

The progress of human beings in space is all-round, and the understanding and utilization of space life are also all-round improvements.

"We'll talk about that for now." There are still some risks associated with the mushroom blanket, but if it's just outside the atmosphere, far away from the human spacefortress, it may indeed be able to be used as a cosmic forage.

It's just that this interest will not make human beings lose their minds, and it will not be decided until the military, parliament, and Datuk have discussed it, and as for the real interests, the next thing is the main thing.

"As for the two bugs that we call by the code name [puppy] and "jumping worm", after various training and analysis, we found that they only obey the orders of the mother worm, which is what you call [brain worm]."

"It seems that the social structure of bugs is very similar to that of ants, all bugs only obey the orders of the queen, and if they control the queen, they control the entire colony."

His words made Vatonev frown and asked, "Doctor, why did the whole swarm behave so abnormally after our warriors caught this female worm?" ”

His words silenced everyone as they waited for the doctor's explanation, and it was clear that this matter was the most important thing.

"In nature, the social structure of ants and bees is the most similar, but bees will often have a [bee splitting] situation, after the pollen in this area is not enough to feed the whole nest of bees, the original queen bee will take away half of the bees for bee separation, and its children will automatically replace the queen bee as the new queen bee."

"I'm afraid that your previous behavior of tying it to the mothership was similar to the split bee of a bee, and after the swarm found that it could not keep up with the original queen bee after performing an attack, it automatically elected a new queen bee."

"As a cosmic race, it is impossible for the Zerg not to even have this ability." His eyes were full of appreciation, compared to their emperor system, this enthronement system of the Zerg was the key to truly ensuring continuity. There is no way to bring out the individual combat effectiveness and decapitation tactics that humans are proud of, and the king worm that has been captured is nothing more than a waste.

"So we've done a completely useless job?" Some generals frowned, and began to worry about how to deal with the Zerg.

"How can it be useless!" The gray-haired middle-aged researcher's voice suddenly raised and said loudly.

"As long as we completely tame this female worm, it will be a new swarm!"

His words lit up the eyes of all the generals one after another, and it was clear that they had figured it out too.

"A completely human, with super combat power, the Terran swarm!" He opened his arms and shouted loudly, believing that the highest moment of his career was coming.
