Chapter 150: The Problem with the "Golden Swarm" Project

Xue Hua saw through the eyes of the monitoring king insect the situation of the wild alien insect nest that had been isolated from the mind of the main nest.

To put it in one word, it's "shocking".

All of the hatcheries and all the buildings in this wild insect nest have a special layer of red and yellow cuticles that look like metal and some kind of biological shell.

This strange cuticle not only seriously affects the larval production of the hatchery, but also has a very negative impact on the surrounding fungus blanket.

The mushroom blanket from the wild nest exhibits an unusual inert quality.

These inert blankets are an eerie mixture of red and yellow, and they are no longer able to spread as quickly as normal blankets, and they are not even able to provide an effective supply to the swarms on the carpet.

The Zerg units in the wild insect hive still acted according to their instincts, but Xue Hua saw that many of the worker bees, jumping insects, and larvae had grown a large number of useless proliferators with metallic properties.

Not only are these proliferators unable to bring convenience to these Zerg units, but they even interfere with their proper functioning.

A large cluster of red and yellow globular proliferators grew on the mining claws of a worker bee, which severely interfered with the worker bee's resource collection and slowed down its movement speed considerably.

Like this example of the worker bee, there are many wild insect nests in this wild worm nest, there are jumping worms whose hind legs are wrapped in proliferators and become lame, and there are also larvae that are completely covered by proliferators and cannot ovate into other Zerg units.

All in all, almost all of them are negative, and the effects are fairly random.

Faced with this situation, Abbather's explanation is that the combination of the Star Spirit Armament and the Worldstone Solvent has had unforeseen negative consequences, which are reflected in gene editing, which is the kind of out-of-control random evolution that Xue Hua sees now.

If you want to manipulate this evolution and make these proliferators really do their job, you need to reorder the entire wild hive and re-edit the mixed solvents in turn.

In other words, it is necessary to destroy the failed wild insect nest and re-establish multiple wild insect nests for experimental sample comparison.

After optimizing the genes step by step and improving the editing effect, the appropriate gene editing results can be obtained and applied to the swarm.

Abbather told Xue that what they were doing now had not been attempted in the entire history of swarm evolution.

This is a cross-racial gene editing and stitching of organic and inorganic matter.

The difficulty of such innovation can be imagined, so failure is expected.

However, if this innovation does succeed in the end, they will create a new swarm-based sub-race.

This is similar to the way Aemon transformed the primordial insects on the planet Zerus, but it is undoubtedly much more difficult.

Without the miraculous effect of Worldstone Solvent, which perfectly mixes inorganic and organic matter, this biological evolutionary operation would have remained a theory forever.

Abbather also told Xue that the current experiment had actually achieved the desired effect with the first part of the Smelt, and that they had at least demonstrated that the special solution could be added to the gene editing of the swarm.

They will only need to conduct more experiments and learn more from their failures, and finally they will be able to come up with a perfect gene-editing model that can be applied to the entire swarm.

Xue Hua has no doubts about Abasser's eventual success, and he fully trusts Abasser's abilities.

But he hopes the process will be sped up, at least not hundreds of years from now.

In the face of Xue Hua's request for acceleration, Abbather came up with a solution - to use Phantom Gold to suppress the psionic strength of the mixed solvent, so that the genes of the swarm can more fully accept the influence of the mixed solvent, thus making the process of gene editing easier.

Phantom Gold is a special mineral that inhibits psionic energy, and is scarce and often occurs as an associated mineral of other high-psionic minerals.

In the current universe, Xue Hua had only seen Youjin once, and it was pulled out of the laboratory left behind by Salnagar......

That bit of phantom gold was not enough for the entire "Golden Swarm" to be used in the plan, not to mention that those spectre gold had already been made into a three-pipe psionic talent enhancer by Abbathhar.

Two of the tubes have been used by sisters Anne and Funia, and the remaining one is still in Xue Hua's inventory to eat ashes......

"Dark gold... Okay, you're giving me a problem......"

Xue Hua sighed helplessly, and held his forehead with a headache.

It seems that it is unrealistic to create a golden swarm in a short period of time, and for now, I can only let Abbather take his time according to its plan, and see if he can see the birth of the golden swarm in Xue Hua's lifetime......

Xue Hua quickly approved Abbather's plan to reshape the wild insect colony, and the entire mysterious sand dunes were designated as breeding grounds for these wild insect nests.

But at the same time, he also warned Abbather that he should keep an eye on the wild hives, and that he didn't want to raise a new master to cause trouble for himself.

Now he has enough troubles and can't handle it any more......

After finishing his visit to the mysterious Dune Experimental Base, Xue Hua shifted his attention to the main nest of the giant insect colony under the Barrier Mountain Range.

Now the swarm has basically hollowed out the barrier mountain range, these mountains just look like ordinary mountains, but in fact, the interior is already covered with all kinds of insect nests, large and small.

The worker bees of the swarm are now experimenting with extending resource gathering activities into the Nobil Sea, preparing to extend the nest base from the underground to the bottom of the seabed.

Anyway, the Zerg units are not afraid of water at all, so as long as they don't dig up the continental shelf, Xue Hua doesn't bother to care how they are going to play.

What he was concerned about now was whether this insect hive could continue to support the increasing resource consumption of the insect swarm, because according to Isha's statistics, the scale of the insect swarm had reached the terrifying level of hundreds of millions if you counted the small insect nests scattered everywhere.

A few mining sites alone would not be enough to support such a large swarm.

However, just as Xue Hua was discussing the topic of speeding up the speed of resource gathering with Yiying Worm Mother, a wake-up prompt suddenly came from his body, and it seemed that someone from the outside world was calling him.

Xue Hua immediately severed his connection with the sanctuary world and returned his mind to his body.

The next moment he opened his eyes from his chair, Kashya's figure opened the curtain and burst in.

“... Eldest sister, if you casually break into the tent of the opposite sex like this, I'm afraid it's not good to spread the impact, aren't you afraid that I won't have any clothes? ”

Xue Hua looked at her helplessly and said with a wry smile on his face.

"Cut... The old lady has lived for so many years, and I haven't seen any strong winds and waves, just your little thing, I won't look up if I am wrong! ”

Kasha said fiercely that made Xue Hua's forehead flutter.

What do you mean by "that little thing"?

Labor and management took it out and scared you to death, do you want to try it?!

"Also, how many times have I told you, don't call me big! Sister! Head!! ”

Boom!

"......" Xue Hua hugged his head and squatted on defense, smiling speechlessly and bitterly.

"Forget it, I won't have anything to do with you, there are two little guys crying and shouting for me to bring them to you, you can do it yourself."

Kasha smiled, turned around and opened the tent door, and two beautiful figures that Xue Hua thought about day and night appeared in front of him who was defenseless.
