Chapter 731: Connecting Mediums
The gatherers made a plan, and the dominant Zerg units on the ground charged the Kers, and then took the initiative to meet the metal storm unleashed by the Kers' cannons before they could touch the barrier, and in an instant they were smashed into a mess of minced meat and thrown into the air.
However, this was planned by the gatherers from the beginning, and neither the Zerg nor the Kerrs noticed the anomaly in it.
For the Kerks, the attack of the Zerg unit was a matter of course, and this minced meat that was sent into the air was only a little clumsier than the other Zerg units.
For the Zerg, the command class is not aware of the anomaly of this ground unit, and the attack on the Quex people was originally an order issued by the command class, and in terms of details, which foot the ground unit should take first and what posture it should run in is completely left to the ground unit to decide, and the command class can manage but does not have the leisure to manage.
Besides, the number of Zerg combat units is trillions, and hundreds of millions of Zerg combat units do not die every time they fight, which is strange, they are all consumables anyway, who would pay attention to the Zerg individual who took the initiative to catch bullets with his face in the vast sea of insects?
For a short time as it was beaten into minced meat and tossed, the Kers didn't notice, and the Zerg didn't notice, that the Zerg had stripped the nerve nuclei from the organism's brain by the gatherers hiding in the Zerg unit.
The nerve nucleus is the channel through which the Zerg communicate with the upper and lower classes, which is equivalent to the communicator in the Zerg army, but the medium of the Zerg's 'communicator' information is not radio, but other forms of information carriers.
What it is, the collectors haven't studied it yet, but it can be determined that it is not electromagnetic waves or mechanical waves, and this time this Zerg ground unit was sent to death on its own initiative, just to take the opportunity to capture the complete Zerg nerve nucleus for research.
After understanding the operation principle of the Zerg nerve nucleus, the Zerg can be said to be basically useless, there is no nerve core to connect the Zerg as a whole, and those Zerg units at the bottom with little intelligence may even regard other members of the same kind as enemies.
"Got it!"
A short string of radio messages, the tiny specimen immediately burrowed into the ground with a nerve nucleus after the minced meat hit the ground, because there were smashed Zerg corpses on it, and there was an exchange of fire going on on both sides, so neither the Kers nor the Zerg noticed it at all.
The battle between the Zerg and the Zerg lasted for several days until the attacking Zerg units were completely exhausted.
A group of Zerg organisms where the gatherers were lodged died as a result, and the Kerks threw incendiary bombs, burning all the Zerg corpses scattered on the battlefield.
This gave the Zerg more cover, and just below the ground, the Collectors began to study the Zerg nerve nucleus.
"Everything is changing through interaction, and the nerve nucleus is no exception, it is interacting with something we don't know and can't observe, and it produces bioelectricity, and the Zerg relies on this to transmit biological signals, so that the whole Zerg is like waving its arms."
"But what could it be? We've done experiments, it's not electromagnetic waves or mechanical waves, it can't be gravitational waves, right? ”
"Why don't we take apart a nerve nucleus?"
"Will it alarm the Zerg? The nerve nucleus itself is a signaling organ, and the signals generated by our touching of the nerve nucleus may be transmitted to the Zerg command class. ”
"It doesn't matter, the Ox people threw the flames, and the nerve nuclei would have been destroyed in the flames."
"Makes sense."
In fact, the collectors are a little too cautious, it is very common for the nerve nucleus to be destroyed during the battle, and there have been cases where the nerve nucleus is destroyed later after the battle for various reasons.
This kind of thing has seen a lot of Zerg, and if you see too much, you don't care.
Through molecular etching, the collectors 'cut' a nerve nucleus, which is a molecular-level cleavage, but unlike macroscopic cuts, because this cleavage uses the principle of coordination of atomic bonds rather than pressure. The only Chinese network
Through electrical currents and chemical coordination, a single-molecule gap can be etched into the nucleus.
The reason for this care is that the collectors wanted to preserve the inner workings of the nucleus as much as possible.
"There are only neural networks, and they still use chemical electrical signals."
The collectors took more care than they peeled the eggs, and hidden beneath the hard shell of the nucleus was a small lump of flesh made up of nerve cells.
"This is supposed to be the part of the signal conversion, through which the information transmitted by the Zerg command class is converted into a bioelectric signal that can be 'read' by the organism's brain after interacting with an unknown medium."
"Continue the dissection."
The collectors continued to dissect the flesh cell by cell, in order to avoid the destruction of unknown structures inside the nucleus, after all, no one knows the strength of the part of the nucleus that interacts with unknown media, and if the strength is high, it is better to say, if the strength is low, then they will waste a nerve nucleus.
The dissection of the nerve nucleus was not smooth, and the collectors stripped away more than four-fifths of the nerve cells from the nerve nucleus, never being able to find the part that interacted with the unknown medium.
Just when they thought they were thinking wrong, one of them finally found some clues in the flesh of the nerve nucleus.
"Found it!"
It was a very special cell, no different from the surrounding nerve cells, but it was different on the inside, it was more than twenty times larger than the nerve cell, and in addition to the same organelle structure as the nerve cell, there was also a constantly changing object.
This object is a spheroid, but not a complete sphere, it is composed of many, angular, square and prismatic shapes, and under the combined illumination of red and violet light, it is like a rare gem in the world.
"Strange object, this is the medium through which the spirit realm interferes here, that is to say, ......"
"The Zerg communicate through the Spirit Realm."
“…… With the use of the Spirit Domain, it is not surprising that the Zerg organisms in space can teleport. ”
In this way, the gatherers encountered a problem, because they could interfere with the spirit realm, but to interfere with the ripple structure, such a huge object, the Zerg could not let them build it.
Overall, not good news.
"So what to do? Need to change the battle plan? ”
“…… It is true that there is a need for change, but that doesn't mean that the Zerg will become difficult to deal with. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"The group of organisms that the Zerg can teleport across stars in space is indeed a threat, but the group of organisms on the ground is not, as long as you find a way to remove the group of organisms in the space of the Zerg, the Zerg will have no power to resist."
"For example, a swift raid like thunder and lightning will destroy the Zerg biota."
