Organisms need to rest, because not all organisms can control the repair and regulation of their body's brain cells like the collectors.

Of course, if that creature doesn't have a brain, it's possible to never rest, like plants, as long as there is light, inorganic matter, and water, photosynthesis can continue forever.

There is a sapient creature sleeping in the room, which is the target of the Gatherers when they invade.

The room is not large, it seems that in order to save space, the room for the intelligent creatures in the fortress to rest is only six square meters, such as wardrobes, storage boxes, etc., are embedded in the wall, and the table in the room is a clamshell design, which can be vertically attached to the wall when not in use.

It can be said that under the premise of not modifying the body of living beings, the space has been used to the maximum extent under limited technical conditions.

Instead of sleeping on their backs like humans, this intelligent creature falls on top of the room, so they rest in an upright position, and their 'bed' is only one square meter in size.

That's right, this room is only six square meters, and it is still a multi-person bed, and judging from the number of 'beds', there are four intelligent beings living in the room.

The other three hadn't returned to the room yet, and the gatherer decided to seize the moment.

Probably in order to save space, the height of the room is not too high, and after the intelligent creature is upside down, the top of the head is only one meter away from the ground, which also saves the collectors to climb the wall.

The gatherer evolved his body, extending a tentacle as thin as a hair, towards the head of the sapient being.

The tip of the tentacle reached the level of a single molecule, and after piercing the superficial scalp of the sapient creature, the collector gained a basic understanding of the sapient creature's neural perception.

The nerve fibers around the sapient creature then release a chemical that paralyzes the nerve fibers to ensure that the sapient creature does not wake up due to the stimulation of nerve signals.

The gatherer's tentacles then went deeper, paralyzing the entire neural network of the sapient creature's head, including nerve fibers in the brain and other parts of the body.

It can be said that even if this intelligent creature wakes up at this time, it is already a completely paralyzed and no longer capable of moving.

However, this is not the end of the story, and the gatherers are only doing this to prepare the way for what is to come.

Because the nerve fiber network in the head is completely paralyzed, the brain does not receive sensory signals from the outside, thus completely cutting off all sensory abilities.

The gatherer who has done all this opens the mouth of the intelligent creature, burrows into the body of the intelligent creature through the mouth, and then places his own solid brain near the brain of the intelligent creature.

The tentacles that extend from the solid-state brain exercise physical domination over the neural networks of the host brain and body.

Finally, little by little, the collector removes the paralysis of the nerve fibers.

During the whole process, the parasitic intelligent beings remained asleep and never woke up.

After a while, the other occupants of the room returned to the room one after another, hanging themselves upside down to rest in a tired posture, and no one noticed that the room had been mixed with a different kind of alien than them.

The collector who hides himself is not idle, it is adjacent to a cell, reading the cell's genes.

Collectors who master the language of genes, unlike civilizations that simply cut and paste and search for organisms to obtain genes, for them, the genetic code is just a language, like Chinese will not bother to look up a dictionary just to tell a good Chinese.

At least that's true for collectors of carbon-based gene languages.

This intelligent creature has six legs, and from a distance it looks like it's wearing a skirt.

He has a pair of hands, but these hands have no bones inside, and they rely on strong muscles and ligaments to support the tentacles, and they can hold and place objects by curling objects.

The head was prismatic, hairless, and pointed at the top, judging by the teeth of the mouth and the food debris in the stomach pouch, the staple food of these intelligent creatures was biased towards organic proteins, and they consumed very little plant fiber.

This creature has two hearts, which causes them to raise their blood pressure to the point where a single heart creature can't gather together.

In other words, when these intelligent beings are too nervous, they will achieve a bullet-time-like effect.

However, the biological structure of the two hearts also means that the bioenergy will be consumed faster than that of single-hearted organisms, and these intelligent creatures are not long-lasting.

Reading the host's genes and gaining a basic understanding of the life forms of this intelligent species, the collector thought of the mechanical bodies he had seen before, which were very similar in appearance to these intelligent species......

Well, well, it seems that the attack method is also a mecha - the gatherer makes a judgment based on past experience.

The presence of the gatherer does not affect the host, not only is it pointless, but it may also expose one's own affairs, and the gatherer will only do it if he is insane.

At the same time, in order to avoid the host from getting sick and going to the treatment place, the collector will actively help the host adjust its physical condition by changing the biological hormones, so that the host's body is always in a healthy state.

Of course, this health is not free, and the Gatherer is lurking to gather intelligence for the cluster.

The collector does not need to venture elsewhere to obtain information, and the host's memory is rich in information, but because the collector does not have enough computing power, it is impossible to decipher the host's memory.

Being able to read information directly regardless of the different populations is equivalent to a thief who can know the password of the safe with foresight without doing anything, which is a magic skill that the collector can't do.

However, if you simply obtain information without deciphering the memory, it is very simple for the collector.

After obtaining the host's information, whenever the host pilots the mecha out on patrol, the collector will take the opportunity to disperse the host memory information compiled into a radio.

This information will be received by a 'meteorite' of the same size as a basketball near the stargate, which will be used as a transit point to continue to transmit information towards the wormhole in the stargate.

After receiving the memory information of these hosts, the collector behind the door can import the memory information into the Heavenly Machine Giant Structure to decipher the memory information, and it is easy to read these memories.

"This is a powerful force in the world than the Holy Worm State......

"The Sixth Order of the Genariel Trade Alliance, and the Fifth Order of the Veron Unified Force......"

"The main body is still using mecha to fight, and the military threat to the cluster is not great."

"But their territory is many times larger than that of the Holy Vorm State, and there is no way to clear it in a short time if they start a war rashly, and if they guide the seventh layer to seal the Star Gate, we will be excluded from the Gate World again......"

"Is there any good idea?"

"Of course, there is a way, but it needs to quietly take control of the nearby star system."
