March 103 of the Holy Gu calendar. In the industrial city in the south of Huangyi City, the lights are bright. It's a lot different from a year ago.

First, the river channel from the factory to the shoreline was widened.

A forty-meter-long sea lion-like beast leaned against the edge of the harbor. These sea Gus, which are responsible for hydrocarbon extraction, are like milk beasts on the shore, docking their mouthparts to a row of metal entrances on the shore. This is not sucking, but injecting the fermented oil produced by the accumulation of algae in the body into the pipes.

In this process, the "scale pythons" (females) on the shore are the "fat sea lions" (males) that come ashore. As a female, choose to cuddle with the most oil. When the "Python" returns to the Gu Nest, it will produce the next generation of better resource miners.

These two small beasts are Gong Gu that Zhou You changed from Lin Long.

The scale python has the function of implanting lithium cells (equivalent to human fat) into other Gu beasts, and the fat house in the seawater is a class specially used to collect seaweed and make fuel. Of course, the fat house is easy to be hunted by other Gu beasts in the sea, so it must be guarded by a ship.

This mine protection work is currently carried out by the Huangyi family. In the future, the gunboat has already been designed.

Under the experimental debugging of the Celestial Tour, the species of Linlong has developed a "Gu Nest-like Nest" system.

Why is it a "Gu Nest-like Nest" system? Because this system has many "defects" compared to normal Gu Nests, there are too many parts that require human intervention.

First of all, this Gu nest is one hundred and fifty meters long and twenty meters wide, and the keel structure was completed by the shipyard.

Zhou You: "When it evolves a keel of sufficient strength, it must be constantly adapted to its movement in the sea, it's too troublesome, I'll just put one together with a water press!" ”

The outer shell is also welded with steel plates, but there are exposed arthropods. These prawns, like leaf-legged arthropods, allow them to paddle in the water.

As for its land movement, the bottom of the Gu Nest has steel wheels and matching bearings!

No, that's not counting bearings, and this kind of large bearing is particularly difficult to machine. In particular, the structure of large variable speed gears cannot be built. Only the steel rod was partially protruding.

This large Gu nest chassis had eight specifications and six hundred and seventy concave mouths. It takes turns to open its mouth from forty angles, bite the steel axle with teeth, and then twist it (just like putting a bamboo dragonfly, pulling it with your left and right hands) to make it turn and drive the wheel!

Zhou You: "The teeth of the insect are good, and they can be replenished if they fall off." No, you don't even have to worry about gear wear. "As for the size of the occlusal mouth, it corresponds to different moments. - Of course, Zeyou would never say that he was inspired by reading Yu Tan's mouth that day.

As for the energy built into the bugs, Zhouyou temporarily used a diesel generator to charge the Linlong power storage organization. A full charge allows it to travel up to 200 kilometers on dirt roads.

……

In the eyes of the people of this world, the most important function of the Gu Nest is the production of troops.

Linlong can do this.

The first type of soldier insect produced: scales all over the body, and the energy source inside the abdominal cavity is a lithium battery. There are five pairs of dorsal limbs on the back, which can weld firearms and artillery.

As for the abdomen, there are eight arthropods, two chelicerae degenerate and merge as a bracket, and with artificial bearings, you can travel at electric speed (electric vehicle-level bearings, now the industrial level can be mass-produced), and the speed on dirt roads is 30 kilometers per hour.

However, the biggest difference between this war beast and other Gu worms is not just that it relies on artificial bearing parts to move.

All the completion processes of the child Gu adult were not modulated by the mother Gu gene in one step, and manual intervention was required.

For example, the first type of Soldier Gu comes from a small egg of the eight types of proto-eggs produced by the female scale Gu worm.

After playing a lot of this kind of small egg, Zhou You finally figured out how to stimulate redevelopment and make it meet the instrumentalization standard.

Start by stuffing in a "bicycle-like" skeleton and finalizing it. The skeleton material is a composite material that melts glass and inserts iron wires, because pure metal is easily digested and corroded by Linlong's biological body fluids.

In the culture tank, the corresponding metal materials are injected and the power supply is introduced to complete the secondary development outside the egg.

This development cycle is 5 hours and uses 12 kWh of electricity. The whole growth process makes Zhouyou feel like nano manufacturing technology.

In fact, this kind of "armed motorcycle" with scales and various firepower welded on the back, due to the consistent specifications of its glass skeleton, bearings and spokes are also standard industrial products, compared to other Gu insects of Rock Crystal Star, there is a sense of regularity of industrial products.

In addition to the first type of soldier insects, there are twenty-seven kinds of worker insects and three types of information flying insects. Among the workers, in addition to the kind of fat house that filters green algae in the deep sea, there is also a kind of ground worm that strengthens the strength of the forelimbs, and its forelimbs have only evolved muscles, and the claws are made of cast iron by humans and put on directly.

Overall, Linlong belonged to a kind of half-hung high-level Gu worm that had not fully evolved in all aspects. Humans are needed to fill the gap.

Although this kind of Linlong's Gu nest structure requires human heavy industry to process it, the energy organ needs a human diesel engine to store electricity for it. Even the Soldier Bugs need to be modulated by humans to provide the initial parts.

However, the remote information control capability that is most valued by the universe is not adulterated at all, and with the large supply of electricity, it evolved at the beginning of this year. It can remotely control a swarm of soldiers and insects 400 kilometers away through flight information beetle relay.

This is already enough to meet the standard of strategic Gu worms in the concept of space travel.

……

On May 15th, Yu Tan came, because ...... From any point of view, the force of the sea tour is too strong.

This kind of Lin Dragon Gu has the potential of a war beast, and the potential has not yet exploded, and the universe that has mastered this Gu worm contract method -

In recent months, investigators from Huangying's side have searched for the origin of the Celestial Tour, and it is natural that they have found that the prayer bird has made false information. As for what is the true identity of the Celestial Tour? Now it's a mystery.

Now this puzzle does not necessarily have to be solved for Huangyi City.

Isn't it also a mystery to everyone how the current Emperor of the Golden Beetle Empire found a way to symbiosis with the insect swarm?

The secret of the powerful is the secret, but the powerful is qualified to have the secret.

For Yu Tan, one thing is certain. At present, Zeyou has come to the territory of the Burning Locust family, and should be seeking support.

Now the Flame Locust family is gaining authority in the direction of the Northeast Bay. Extraterrestrial aristocrats came with war giants to look for support, not for help from the Empire, let alone for other families, which was a manifestation of the family's increased prestige.

The Flame Locust family wants their influence to be strong, but they will not unconditionally support all those who take refuge.

In the factory area, a building with a total area of 50 square meters including a front balcony and a small garden,—— which is the residence of Zeyou. And now the gate is blocked by the Gu worm carriage.

The lord walked down in metal knight armor. Her helmet was golden, with crimson feathers raised. And the face, below the bridge of the nose, is covered by a visor, which seems to create a mysterious beauty.

"If you hadn't yelled at me last year, this armor would still have the effect of a veil." But now—what? Can you weld this armor to death? ”

Holding the notebook, Zhou You looked at her, bowed to her, and said, "My lord, I am surprised that you are here, and now, I am not dishonoring my mission." So far, the plan has been a success. ”

"Huh" after a light laugh.

Yu Tan: "Congratulations, Mr. Zhou You. ”

Her gaze swept penetratingly.

Zhou You is not wearing scale armor now, but directly wearing a cloth power suit, and her healthy complexion and smooth body are very attractive to her attention.

In her opinion, such a high-level war Gu insect controller who had no protection showed that he was very honest and unwary of the Burning Locust family.

The reason why Zeyou didn't wear the Linlong armor: It wasn't breathable and uncomfortable to wear.

I used to wear it, and it was because I was afraid that I wouldn't fit in in the academy, which was all monsters. Now it's not necessary, he is now a person with a high-level Gu worm, so he can be arrogant. As for possible plots and assassinations, the matrix is a hole card in hand, and the Yu Tan in front of him is 'low protection' at this time.

Zhou You was busy squatting, standing, and busy around, stacking all the data and materials he had prepared, the drawing reports, and the carved Gu insect models on the desk.

Zeyu: "Your Excellency, then our agreement can progress to the second step. Thank you very much for your support, and the matter of the equivalent return of cooperation should be on the agenda. ”

Yu Tan was looking at Zhou You's body, and after a while, he reacted and nodded.

But at this time, she first asked: "Your contract, will it lead to wormification?" ”

Zeyou looked at the swarthy eyes. Behind these eyes, there is a complex period of time. ——Although this Yu Tan has always made Zhou You sit still, but at this time, this gaze makes Zhou You's heart soften.

In the eyes of the high-ranking nobles of Rock Crystal Star, the most important thing for Lin Long is that the so-called "brainwave control" does not affect the advantages of the human host! So can this advantage be replicated in the control of other strategic Gu worms?

In fact, judging from the situation of Lin Long Gu itself, Yu Tan had no idea of snatching and detaining it. Because there are too many "shortcomings". That is, it requires all kinds of human intervention to operate, and it is not as convenient as orthodox Gu worms at all. The only advantage is that the person who controls the strategic Gu worm still does not change his appearance.

When Zhou You heard this question, he looked helpless and embarrassed on his face, and Yu Tan already knew the answer.

In this slightly sad atmosphere.

Zhou You acquiesced: "Yes, Lin Long's situation is special. ”

Zhou You didn't lie - Linlong's current situation is very rare: from the basic growth to the current state, it is all human interference, and the changes in each organization are recorded in detail.

How is the electrical conduction structure formed by the current input, how does the muscle grow according to the support of the external implanted bone, and how does the internal temperature regulation control system be generated step by step? This raw data is the most valuable.

As for the Golden Beetle and the Flame Locust, which have evolved into a very 'high-end' whole-body Gu worm, Zeuyou has no initial data, and even if he gets a sample, he can't get a start.

How does the internal electrical conduction and neural control go from simple to complex? Without the underlying data, if it is stimulated, there will be more complex chaos inside.

These nobles, because they want to control these powerful combat forces, do not hesitate to turn insects. Zhou You can't give them a way to control them, so naturally they are powerless to change the outcome of their insectization.

As for the special of the Linlong! That's right, because its particularity lies in its "primitiveness". Now stimulated to develop into the current mode, there are too many processes for human interference in this "incomplete" automatic growth process.

……

The lord got a definite answer from Zeuyu, nodded, and didn't ask any more.

She clapped her hands, and the metal gloves made a crisp metal 'click' sound. The two servants behind him brought the carved solid wood table, while the butler unfolded the three gilt mounted scroll maps and spread them out on the table.

This set of high-precision maps, which should be high-altitude balloons or a large number of aircraft, is obviously far beyond the scientific and technological capabilities of this planet. However, there are so many black box technologies on the planet, and there is no shortage of a map that is ahead of its time.

She sat down on the bench brought by the servant, stretched out her metallic knight's handmail and tapped the table. The master of Huangyi City began to arrange in a formulaic tone: "Now, I will give you three choices. First, do ...... under me."

She pointed to a point in the western part of the Feather-winged Locust family's territory. It meant to help their family manage a port in the west, which was to serve as a retainer in the inner circle.

"Second, go to the north to run a farm."

She pointed to the north of the territory, since the Gu worm came to this world, human civilization has vacant a large number of territories in the north, as the lord of the developed coastal region, it is necessary to set up colonial governors in these areas, provide tax revenue for the central circle finance, and provide raw materials for the coastal commercial zone.

"Third, go to the south to drive the locusts and break the waves."

She pointed to the south, where there were a large number of islands in the central part of the water. Although the Feathered Flame Locust Family is loyal to the Golden Beetle Family, it is impossible to openly rebel, but it does not mean that it cannot conflict with other forces of the same level. The Feather-winged Locust family tried to take charge of the Southern Passage and had a holiday with the floating mica family.

Accept the appointment of the Feathered Flame Locust Family to fight against the Floating Mica Family on Xia Hong Island, where the spheres of influence are intertwined.

Of course, according to the concept of this world, this kind of release is no longer theoretically a retainer of the winged locust, but a vassal who has been sealed by the earth.

After the Lord of Yu Tan finished speaking, he pushed the three maps in front of Zeyu, signaling that it was time to choose.

After thinking about it for a while,—— he found that it seemed that none of them had any crucial selection factors.

First, to be a retainer in its inner circle. Zhou You was moved at the first time, stayed here, and then followed the relationship line to investigate in the upper class, how stable it was.

The flaw is that power will be greatly limited - however, it doesn't matter: after all, he is here to investigate the causes of civilization changes, not to seize power.

Second, play farming in the north. Continuously attract people, build systems, and then technically recruit people to upgrade technology, and develop the planet's characteristic technology based on Linlong.

The defect is that farming takes a long time - Zhou You (forked waist): "Lao Tzu is willful, after fifteen years, I won't leave, what can you do with me!" It's a big deal that you seal my matrix, I can directly use local technology, a little harder, a little harder, it's okay. ”

As for the third, it was initially a territory on the sea to the south, which could be aided by the feathered locusts, and the geographical extension here was a commercial meeting point.

The flaw is that the risk of war is very high. Like I'm scared.

It doesn't matter if you travel to the sky, but you still have to tear two and choose one. A ray of conscience probe on the high dimension is choosing.
