Turning off the psionic communicator, Xue Hua lowered his head and reflected on the conversation he had just had with Kelles.

The Star Spirits have begun to face up to their flaws, and they will soon be able to obtain the Sapphire Star Sea, which is very valuable to their race.

Xue Hua had no doubt about this, because when the Second Fleet returned from the rebellion in two months, the powerful Leviathan would attack the Sapphire Planet with the Swarm Fleet and the new fleet of the Star Spirits.

If the Sapphire Fishmen happen to have climbed to the nemesis side of the Star Spirit on the Tech Tree, then the Swarm's biotech isn't so kind to them.

Abbather had just used the mind of the main nest to finish reading the battle footage of the fish-man and the astral fleet on the sapphire planet with Xue Hua, and he strongly recommended that Xue Hua agree to the military cooperation agreement of the starling.

Because the fish people displayed several war technologies that had inspired it to evolve new Zerg units, it desperately needed samples of these war technologies, especially the large genetic samples of the sea bats, to complete its "creation".

Abbather told Xue Hua that the sea bats reminded him of a unit that had been removed from the swarm's hatching gene pool for stability and longevity—the self-exploding poisonous mosquito!

The self-detonating poisonous mosquito is the "suicide moth" in the interstellar generation game, and the English name is "Scourge", which originally means "the source of disaster".

It's small, fast, cheap, and like the jumping worms, buy one get one free, and most importantly, it's cheap and powerful, and it's a terrible biological weapon that all races of flying units talk about at the time.

The destructive power of the self-detonating mosquito does not come from its sharp claws, but rather from the fact that the creature does not have sharp claws at all.

Their way of attacking is very simple, that is, when they see an enemy flying unit, they will pounce on it in groups, and when they pounce in front of them, they will directly crash into it.

They have an expansive acid chain reaction enzyme in their body, and once this reactive enzyme is activated, the whole reaction process becomes irreversible.

This reactive enzyme will cause all the tissue structures in the body of the self-detonating poisonous mosquito to become a high-explosive acidic substance, and the moment the self-detonating poisonous mosquito hits the target, these high-explosive acidic substances will be sprayed in all directions.

The acidic substance was so strong that it could instantly erode through the armor plates of a human Gorgon-class battleship and easily carve a huge hole in the ship's hull.

The swarm of self-detonating poisonous mosquitoes swarming towards his ship was one of the terrible nightmares that all human captains who had fought the swarm had ever had, a nightmare that would wake up in a cold sweat almost instantly.

Even in the game, the Zerg's self-exploding poisonous mosquitoes are very ferocious, and they are often able to take advantage of others and accomplish some small and big feats.

In reality, this creature is the nightmare of almost all humans and the commander of the Star Spirit ship.

They are so small that they are barely visible to the ship's radar, and their destructive power is comparable to that of a powerful neutron cluster gun, and unlike cluster guns, they can sneak into ships to find the most suitable and vulnerable position to exert their amazing power.

Even if they were a Star Spirit ship protected by a psionic shield, their shield would not be able to withstand a few hits from the self-detonating poisonous mosquito......

In reality, however, this creature is nowhere near as stable and easy to use as it is in the game.

The chain reaction enzyme system in their bodies is very unstable, and the slightest mismatch can be triggered by mistake and lead to pointless self-detonation.

In addition, the self-detonating mosquitoes are also very short-lived, and they are the only hatching organisms in the colony that only survive for a month in the blanket environment.

But all this is not a problem, even if the self-detonating mosquito has such and such shortcomings, its advantages are still obvious.

The low price compensates for the lack of longevity, and the great power compensates for the lack of stability of the biological system.

It wasn't until after the Battle of the Brood that the pilots and captains of the Astral and Humans finally got fed up with the self-detonating mosquitoes that scared them all the time, and they added countless inductive radars and miniature automatic close defense systems to their ships.

This system of defenses allows the self-detonating mosquito to reveal another shortcoming, which ultimately leads to its complete refrigeration: it is too vulnerable.

How fragile is the self-detonating mosquito itself?

Let's put it this way, in addition to a C-14 Spike Piercing electromagnetic rifle, a human Marine is also equipped with a pistol powered by more primitive gunpowder.

However, this thing is only the last self-defense weapon after the rifle has run out of ammunition, and many Marines even jokingly call it a "suicide gun".

Because the power of the bullets propelled by the power of raw gunpowder power cannot penetrate any enemy armor on the interstellar battlefield - except for the self-detonating poisonous mosquito......

In the battlefield records of mankind, there was a record of a Marine successfully shooting down a self-detonating mosquito with a spare pistol, although the unlucky guy was accidentally killed by the falling self-detonating mosquito because he was too excited, but this also proves from the side how fragile the self-detonating mosquito's own defense is.

Those miniature automatic melee cannons that are normally difficult to penetrate even the exoskeleton armor of the jumping worms have become the scythe of death in front of them.

Therefore, when the large ships of humans and star spirits began to arm themselves into hedgehogs with various small arms, the days of self-detonation poisonous mosquitoes became sad.

The commanders of the swarm found that they were now quite powerless against valuable medium and large targets, and small targets that were not always able to catch up with the self-detonating mosquitoes.

And once the self-detonating poisonous mosquitoes are discovered, the enemy's ground forces and ship-based forces can easily use the firenet suppression tactics to wipe them out in swarms.

Therefore, since the Battle of the Brood, the self-detonating poisonous mosquito has gradually become history, and was finally swept into the corner of history by the Queen of Blades, Kerrigan......

Now, Abbather suddenly brought it up, telling Xue Hua that it had seen in those Sapphire Star "sea bats" the hope of improving the self-detonating poisonous mosquitoes and giving them a new lease of life and turning them into a nightmare for enemy fleet commanders again.

Its only request was to hope that Xue Hua would carry out that military cooperation with the Star Spirit as soon as possible, and bring back the biological genes and various scientific and technological samples on the Sapphire Planet, and even give up those seawater resources on the Sapphire Star because of this!

It was the first time for Xue Hua to see Abbather so obsessed with the genes of a creature, so he was very curious to ask it what part of the genetic characteristics of those sea bats could provide new life for self-detonating poisonous mosquitoes.

Abdser told it that if it could isolate their "energy-phage" genes from sea bats, it would be able to find a way to add a reactive "shield" system for self-detonating poisonous mosquitoes without greatly increasing hatching resources!
