Chapter 42: The Mayinhoff Infection Crisis
1. Eliminate redundant and useless gene sequences.
After completely analyzing the genetic sequence of the alienated virus, Kashtar began this job, and after just five hours, the alienated virus, which had very few useless genes, became more pure and ferocious.
2. Strengthen the route of infection
The infection rate of the original alien virus is very alarming, but its transmission route is too small. There is only a few airborne transmissions.
Kashtar knows a lot about the routes of infection, such as water source infection - allowing the virus to survive in the water source and infect humans through the water source. Of course, if the water source is filtered, the virus will eventually disappear from the water. This is a hard truth to crack.
More routes of infection are incorporated into the genetic sequence.
3. Enhance the combat potential of alienated combat bodies
Kashtar named the infected humans as alienated combatants. After being infected, the alienated combat body has amazing combat capabilities, and Kashtar began to consider whether it was the lethality of the virus or the lethality of the alienated combat body. Soon Kashtar discovered that in fact, the two are one, and if the virus can infect more people and complete the mutation before the alien combatants kill them, then more alienated combatants will join the killing; If the alienated combatant is able to kill more tissues infected by the Soldier, then the infection will spread faster.
The two complement each other to make the alienation virus powerful.
Kashtar has made more genetic sequences inserted on the alienated virus.
It can generate fungus blankets, which infect buildings, and use dead organisms as nutrients to replenish alienated combatants to increase the combat endurance of alienated combatants. Of course, there is no good way to change the combat strength of the alienated combat body itself in Kashtar for the time being. Kashtar failed to make the alien virus grow a harder carapace, better claws, on humans.
Fourth, improve the ability of alienated combat bodies to attack fortified positions
In order to increase the lethality of the alienated combat against solid structures or thickly armored combat units, Kashtar decided to incorporate the genes of the Poison Blaster into it. In this way, there is a chance that the alienated combatant will not mutate into an infected with claws or a weapon in hand, but will instead self-detonate with a stomach filled with acid but move quickly.
5. Identification mechanism of friend or foe
Alien combatants will no longer attack Alien units.
Sixth, procrastination variation
Infected people will no longer mutate into alienated combatants immediately after being infected, but will mutate collectively after a sufficient number of infected people in a certain area have reached the mutation conditions. This is to ensure that enough infected people get enough infection, while also providing a numerical combat advantage in the face of alienated combatants in human forces.
Then, Kashtar didn't know what genes to import.
At this moment, the preliminarily perfected alienated virus gene is almost twice the length of the original, which theoretically delays the infection speed, but is not taken seriously by Kashgarta.
Is there a difference between the infection rate of 20 minutes and the 30 minutes of infection speed to reach the condition of mutation into an alienated combat body?
There is not much difference.
Kashtar, which has initially completed the transformation of the virus, begins to look forward to the opportunity of an infection war.
Soon, her chance came.
"Mother Worm Kashta! An eyeworm has discovered a human planet full of humans! may fit your needs. ”
A worm mother walked up to Kashtar very flatteringly and said earnestly. Soon, Kashta, who was eager to prove himself, accepted the memory of the eyeworm recorded in the eyes of the mother worm.
In the barren lands, countless human ships travel to and from the surface of the planet. Transporting countless humans to the surface - these are weak human civilians, not human warriors armed to the teeth.
Continuing to examine the planet, Kashtar soon found that the human army here was simply surprisingly small, and the few orbital defense cannons could not defend against the dense attacks of the airdrop bag at all.
"This planet belongs to me! Tell me, what is this planet called? ”
"Humans call him Meinhoff."
"Very well, Meinhoff will belong to me! Send out our Behemoth! We're going to be high up in orbit on the planet. ”
Behemoth is a powerful transport unit that has a greater transport capacity than the Leviathan, but is slightly inferior in attack.
Soon, Kashtar took all the viruses he had researched and walked to Behemoth, which landed in the atmosphere.
————————————————
Behemoth's powerful psionic leap easily took it and all the units stored in its belly light years away, and with several positioning and jumps, Behemoth appeared in the planetary system where the planet Meinhoff was located.
They are hidden within the meteorite belt of the Meinhof system.
To be honest, such a powerful virus Kashtar did not know how much ripples it would cause in the human world, because he was afraid that Behemoth, who was ineffective in space, would be attacked by the human fleet, and he was also afraid that he would put himself in a dangerous situation by infecting humans by himself. So Kashtar neither wants Behemoth to appear in the human eye, nor does he personally play.
Sending hosts carrying virus-carrying Xenomorph units to airdrop them on the planet's surface, thereby infecting human civilians on a large scale.
However, the war of infection is almost instantaneous, and it is likely that the alienated virus that has been carefully modified by itself will be wiped out due to unexpected circumstances: either a human fleet will come to control the virus on a large scale, or it will suddenly decipher the virus. In order to ensure the absolute victory of the alien virus in the infection war, it is necessary to have alien troops on the ground to control the mutation of the virus at all times.
Soon, two infected individuals hatched.
They have a thick black carapace, a smooth carapace, and strong limbs that allow them to move easily underground, thus ensuring their absolute safety; He doesn't have a strong attacking ability, but his strength is to manipulate the virus, and they are able to release the virus and modify it to a certain extent. It's the perfect choice.
After the Infection War is over, these infected people are brought back to Behemoth, then the details of the Infection War and the defects of the Alienation Virus can also be discovered and improved.
Soon, hundreds of jerboas and cockroaches that had been specially concocted to transmit the alien virus were loaded into several hosts. After informing the humans of the location of the Orbital Defense Cannon, the host who knew how to circumvent the Orbital Defense Cannon began its own journey.
What the host brought to Meinhoff was absolute death.
