Chapter 173: The Great Evolution of the Zerg
It only takes five minutes for the flying ants to evolve, so it doesn't take long, and in less than two hours, a million flying ants have all finished egging, and they have begun to use the ghost energy amplifier in the second-level Leviathan to spread to the surrounding meteorites, sweeping the surrounding Thai ore resources like locusts transiting.
But after all, this is what the KGB people call the Infinite Abyss, and if this is a paradise for collecting Thai ore, how can it be called the Infinite Abyss?
"Warning, a large number of depraved Roses are found approaching!"
Leviathan's warning immediately aroused Elise's vigilance, but when she spread her spiritual power around, she was shocked to find that these fallen roses were already less than 100,000 kilometers away from the swarm, a distance that was a dash for them.
And what made Elise even more alarming was that these fallen Roses were not coming from one direction, but from all sides almost simultaneously. It is clear that this was not an external encounter, but a premeditated ambush.
At this time, a somewhat unresponsive flying ant was still dismembering a huge meteorite with a diameter of ten meters with its huge jaw. Its extremely weak intelligence tells it that this meteorite contains a huge amount of power, and if it is bitten and dragged back to the brood, the brood will create more companions for them, and the swarm will be stronger.
The danger signal emanated from the brain of the host who ruled it, and it had just reacted to find that a black shadow had pounced, a huge force as if it was about to crush its body, and great pain hit its whole body. Pain doesn't stop its fighting spirit, even if it's just a sapper at the lowest level of the Zerg. But when it tried to fight back, it found that it was unable to move. It turned out that its bones had long been crushed, and its weak self could not inflict even a certain amount of damage on the enemy......
At the same time, tens of thousands of worker ants in the outermost mining area were attacked almost simultaneously, because the range was too wide, and the Wyvern and Void Raider who were in charge of guarding did not arrive at the scene in the first place. I could only watch as these cunning hunters dragged the corpses of the worker ants back into the shadows of the meteorite belt after a single blow......
Elise's face was a little ugly, not that she lost twenty or thirty thousand worker ants due to the success of the other party's sneak attack this time, but she knew that if the leader of these fallen Rus had been fighting guerrilla warfare with her like this, her mining business would probably go bankrupt.
"How did they evade the Leviathan's vision and mind scanning?" Chu Heng's spiritual advent body did not take it back, so he could see this sneak attack of Fallen Rose clearly.
"There is a strange light in the Fallen Nebula that obstructs our vision, and we can capture less than a millionth of the distance beyond the nebula with sight. There are also various complex cosmic radiations here, although these radiations have little effect on the swarms that have been adjusted. But it can hinder Leviathan's spiritual exploration. The radiation density in the Infinite Abyss is even more terrifying, and the Leviathan can specifically probe the range here. Elise explained.
"But it's not as low as less than 100,000 kilometers......" Chu Heng was obviously very dissatisfied with such an explanation.
"The Fallen Rus here seem to be a little different from what is recorded in the Luna Empire, and their leaders have a higher intelligence...... My guess is that they are lying on the back of the meteorite, using the strong radiation emitted by the meteorite to evade the Leviathan's psychic detection. "Although the blow did not last long. But Elise was already able to analyze a lot of things.
"Interesting...... What can you do to prevent their next sneak attack? ”
"Shrink the mining area and release all the three million wyverns in the fleet to patrol the ......"
"No, it would seriously affect the speed of mining, and I don't want this to become a huge treasure that can only be watched but not mined quickly." Chu Heng immediately denied this resolution.
"Then please allow me to hatch 100 million wyverns. In this way, it is possible to spread the mining area to a radius of 500,000 kilometers. "This range is about the maximum collection range to achieve the highest yield. One billion flying ants can be allowed to work at the same time in such a range, and if the range is expanded, the throughput limited to the mother nest will not increase the production much, but will make the area around the mother nest crowded.
"100 million wyverns? Elise, I didn't expect you to joke with me...... "100 million wyverns are equivalent to 60 million life energy, and it obviously doesn't make sense to use so much life energy to hatch wyverns just to escort the worker ants." Long-term mining may get some results, but when will the 60 million life energy of Tai Ore be mined?
"I can't do anything without enough troops, so I can only organize the Wyverns to form dozens of squads to patrol the edges. Once the Fallen Rose is spotted in a sneak attack, it can immediately inflict heavy damage on them, and over time, it will naturally be able to consume the Fallen Rose to a level that it is completely unaffordable. "There are not enough troops. Elise could only think of such a stupid solution.
They don't know exactly how many Fallen Roses there are, but such a method will definitely cost the swarm a lot of worker ants......
After being silent for a moment, Chu Heng suddenly asked, "Is it possible for you to control the situation with enough troops?" ”
"Yes master!" Elise replied in the affirmative.
"Then this might help you." After Chu Heng finished speaking, he passed a piece of Zerg genetic information to Elise through the soul channel.
Type bug
Name:Jumping Bug (Level 3 puppy)
Level 3
The force is 60
Spirit 1
Cell 40
Energy 5
Evolution takes 5 minutes
Consumes 80 low-level energy
The appearance of the jumping insect is no different from that of a puppy, except that the back has been added with transparent ghostly wings like cicadas. Such a weak spectral energy in gravity like the one of Iss can only help them jump and glide briefly, not even help them escape the planet's gravity. However, in space, they have gained a mobility of 2 kilometers per second, and can even enjoy the ghost energy amplification of one percent of the ghost energy amplifier in the second-level Leviathan.
This directly changed the embarrassing situation that they could only fight on the ground, but in space they could only exert about 40 percent of their strength. After all, they are only a ground unit that can barely fight in space.
The energy required for the evolution of the jumping worm is only increased by 80 low-level energy, plus the energy required for the original puppy to hatch, the jumping worm needs a total of 95 low-level energy to hatch. In other words, a jumping worm needs six times as much energy as a puppy.
However, although this most basic cannon fodder class of the Zerg has become more expensive after the evolution of the jumping worm, in fact, after adjusting the body structure, muscle density and strength, a jumping insect can completely kill more than ten times as many puppies in the wild. The jumping worm is not comparable to the puppy in terms of combat efficiency and combat awareness, not to mention that it can barely fight in space, and its cost performance has long been thrown out of the puppy several streets.
Moreover, the more stable gene chain also allows the puppy to withstand the more violent adrenaline, a wonderful substance found in Is, which was once rarely used because of its powerful destructive properties, which made low-level bugs more or less negative when using it. But now the hopper can turn on the berserk at any time and has no side effects at all. Such a breakthrough has also made the combat effectiveness of the jumping insect more than tripled.
There is no doubt that a single hopper is definitely no match for Fallen Rose, but if a dozen hoppers start their berserk, it will only take a few seconds to tear Fallen Rose to pieces in an instant.
"I hope that the master can give me 20 million life energy to use it, and I need to hatch a billion flying ants and 500 million jumping insects responsible for protecting them!" Seeing the message sent by Chu Heng, Elise said with her eyes lit up. The fact that jumping worms can fight in space is definitely a game-changer for the Zerg.
"Don't worry, the use of Spectral Wings is not limited to these two classes." Chu Heng passed on a piece of information to Elise again.
Type bug
Name:Worker Bee (Level 2 Drones)
Level 2
Force 22
Spirit 1
Cell 8
Energy 2
Evolution takes 5 minutes
Consumes 14 low-level energy
The entire body of the second-level drone is composed of two ghostly wings, and the body tissue is simplified to the limit, but it is precisely because of this that its hatching only needs to consume 20 low-level energy.
The drones are thoroughly soy sauce after entering the space phase. Basically, mining work is done by worker ants. And now the appearance of the second-level drone has given it a new position. The worker bee does not have the huge bite force of the flying ant's jaw, but the simplified body makes it as mobile as the flying ant, and more importantly, the worker bee is five times cheaper than the flying ant. In this way, the work of transporting minerals can be completely left to the worker bees, and the flying ants only need to concentrate on mining.
"With the existence of worker bees, only 200 million flying ants are enough, after all, the most time-wasting link is the transportation link, and the appearance of worker bees can save us fifty percent of our energy." Elise commented.
Of course, except for the puppy that evolved into a jumping worm, the drone bee that evolved into a worker bee, and the worker ant who evolved into a flying ant, most of the Zerg ground forces have been strengthened by the Spectral Wings. And these enhancements not only increase the genetic sequence of the Ghost Wings, but also remove the messy genes that were once immature in order to strengthen the strength. Some more plausible genes have been added, which makes the new Zerg class more powerful than the original Zerg unit. It's also better value for money.
Type bug
Name:Winged Serpent (Level 2 Stinging Snake)
Level 3
The amount of force is 90
Spirit 8
Cell 40
Energy 5
Evolution takes 5 minutes
Consumes 90 low-level energy
Type bug
Name: Berserk Serpent (Level 2 Bone Eater)
Level 7
The force is 900
Spirit 20
Cells 400
Energy 200
Evolution takes 10 minutes
Evolution costs 100 normal energy
Skill: Super Bone Spear, Heavy Artillery
In order for the Bone Serpent to become an air combat unit, it must first evolve from the Bone Serpent to the Bone Eater Serpent, and then from the Bone Eater to the Berserk Winged Serpent.
Type bug
Name: War Ant (Tier 2 Soldier Ant)
Level 6
The force is 300
Spirit 5
Cells 200
Energy 20
Evolution takes 10 minutes
Consumes 30 normal energy
Skill 10 times the power to drill into the ground
The appearance of the second-level Leviathan only made the level of the Zerg's warships reach the standard of the third-level civilization, and the Ghost Wings were the cornerstone of the great evolution of the swarm. (To be continued......)
