Chapter 3 The development of the swarm

"Spring has arrived, and it is the season of reproduction, and the animals living on this planet have begun a new round of ......"

What a ghost! Taryn shook off the idea that popped into his head, the snow and ice had begun to melt, the swarm had become more active, and the first bugs had died in the winter. There were only a few soldier insects and worker insects left, but as the worker insects released activated pheromones to those pupae, one by one the soldier insects and worker insects broke out of the cocoon of the pupa and began to gulp down the food brought by the old worker insects.

The death of the bugs that had worried Taryn for half the winter was nothing special, and the normal lifespan had reached the end.

As soon as the snow and ice began to melt, the worker insects awakened the reserve bugs that remained in a pupa state, and the population quickly returned to its original level.

As the plants sprouted and the animals began to move, Taryn began his own plan by directing the insects to open a barely usable field, then sow the seeds and cover them with soil. Then he instructed the soldiers and insects to graze the herbivores.

The herbivores who saw the light of day were still a little uncomfortable with the outside environment, causing a brief commotion, followed by a few attempts to escape, but were quickly captured.

After directing the Soldier Insect to drive the herbivore to find a pasture to graze, Taryn returned his attention to the panel, which only contained the genes of Tyran's Zerg, as for how to obtain the genes of other species...... There doesn't seem to be a show at all here.

This made it a little difficult for Tylen, because there were too few samples, and it was difficult for him to fully determine the role of a gene strand and the laws of gene encoding.

"How can I get more samples?" This is a question for Taryn to ponder, and for now, it is not advisable to simply eat it in his stomach.

But in the end, Taryn still couldn't come to a useful conclusion, so he had to try to see if he could meet the dead mouse.

After commanding the soldiers and insects to repel a few attacks from other predators, the not-so-brilliant brains of the herbivores came to the simple conclusion that these things were protecting us. As a result, they no longer run away, after all, it is better to have a protector than to run for their lives.

In terms of planting, watering is a more troublesome thing, although the worker insects can hold a certain amount of water in the abdomen to replenish the water for the insects in the nest, but the amount of water is not particularly large, and it is a drop in the bucket to use it to water the planted crops.

But fortunately, this thing hasn't been completely domesticated, so it's not so delicate that it will GG if you don't take care of it.

After spending several years without ups and downs, Taryn felt that his Zerg must be the weakest Zerg, and others could go to the sky in the same amount of time, but there was not much progress on his side.

However, Taryn is not completely out of nothing, he has found a fairly important chromosome in the genes of the Zerg.

This is the most complex of all the chromosomes of the Zerg, and its existence has no effect on the appearance and internal structure of the Zerg and other traits at all, the only thing that affects it is whether it belongs to the will of its own swarm.

Zerg that lose this chromosome will lose their connection to the will of Tyranny, and Taryn's Zerg will not regard them as allies, and the other party will not regard Tyran's race as the same kind.

Taryn also made a fork of the worker bug: the agricultural bug.

The image of the agricultural insect is similar to that of the worker insect, but the shape of the arthropod at the front is more suitable for loosening the soil, and a pair of arthropods for weeding are added, which are larger and can store more water inside for watering plants.

However, there are still many problems in agriculture, and the problem of pests is difficult to solve. Neither agricultural insects nor soldier insects can do it without Tyron's own operation without damaging the plants and destroying those pests. It's troublesome, the other party is too small.

The Soldier Bug hasn't changed much, and this thing is a hassle to study. It's hard to make any improvements for a while. In addition, there is no way to obtain the genes of other organisms, so it is difficult to make changes.

The number of the population has increased, the number of soldier insects has risen to more than forty, and the number of worker insects has risen to more than eighty. The number of standing pupae has also reached nearly 100.

Other predators in the vicinity have been squeezed out by the rising swarms, allowing Taryn to better herd herbivores.

"Very well, the rest of the words will slowly expand like this." Seeing that everything was on track, Taryn felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Then there was a sad feeling: "MMP, why do my zergs still rely on farming and grazing to make a living......"

However, Taryn still hadn't fully figured out the mechanism of that panel, so he could only stare helplessly.

In the fourth spring after Tyranny's crossing, the population had expanded to nearly two hundred. After a momentary decision, Taryn decided that it was time to expand the group, and gave the queen orders to reproduce the newborn worm.

There is no doubt that the newborn worm queen is still under Tyrann's control, but ...... It looks like a big difference......

The queen that Taryn usually sees in the nest is no different from a large, white and fat bug, with little activity other than eating and laying eggs, while the newborn queen doesn't look so bloated, but still a big bug.

Taryn awakened half of the pupae, allowing the newborn soldiers and workers to defend the newborn insects and migrate elsewhere. They also brought with them some farmed herbivores and stored food.

Spreading the population is the best way to survive without the frenzied ability of the Zerg in science fiction to modify the environment, after all, the resources of a place are limited. As a part of the ecosystem, it is the best way to maintain ecological balance without putting oneself to death until we are unable to consciously transform the environment to serve ourselves.

After the first expansion of the group, Taryn noticed that there was finally a change on the board: the Bestiary.

Pictures of all previously seen creatures are on it, but only some of them have DNA on display, and most of them are mutilated.

However, most of the plants are relatively intact, and the incomplete ones are a few.

How is this thing judged? Tyron was a little confused, his memory had improved a lot since he became the Will of the Swarm, but he really didn't see any special way to deal with the creatures with the complete genetic samples.

"That's why I hate things that don't have manuals." Taryn grumbled.
