Chapter 11 The Arms Are Summoned
"The blanket needs to be collected regularly, otherwise it will grow too fast and other plants will not survive, which will lead to the destruction of the local ecological balance, and the blanket will not be able to serve as the main source of food for the colony. Then there's the plant ......," Taryn is currently teaching Fast how to control agricultural insects and manage the planting and grazing of insect colonies.
Grazing is actually relatively simple, send soldiers and insects to keep an eye on them, drive back those who want to escape, drive away other predators who try to get closer, and just rush back to the nest when the time comes. The fungus blanket is also easy to handle, and the regular harvest wave prevents the living space of other plants from affecting the local ecological environment, after all, the Tylen population is not completely free from the influence of the ecological environment. The more complicated thing is planting, this kind of thing in addition to the earlier agricultural insects, the new agricultural insects will not do it at all, and they need precise control to weed, kill insects and so on.
However, he is called the Hive Tyrant, and it turns out that his job is to direct the agricultural insects to do their work...... It's kind of sad to think about.
But Fast didn't complain, after all, it didn't know anything high or low.
During his training with Fast, Taryn discovered a problem, the Hive Tyrant's control distance does not seem to be infinitely far as Tyrann's, as for the limit distance...... Tyron has yet to test out, and all but the small lair stationed near the Bugman City can be controlled by the Hive Tyrant.
However, with Fast, the first hive tyrant, Tyron can not personally direct the workers to work while keeping an eye on the Soldier Bugs, and by the way, control the other Soldier Bugs to collect genes from different species.
Now, as long as the education of the hive tyrant Fast is complete, Tylen can focus on his genetic research.
The basic command that keeps the swarm running, and Tyron's little knowledge of military tactics, however, is not so easy to teach a child-like guy, and all kinds of questions keep popping up: why do you want to do this? What should I do? What do you mean? Problem children triple in a row.
In short, in the process of teaching the hive tyrant Fast, Taryn can finally understand why the teacher lost his temper back then, fortunately he only taught the hive tyrant, if there were more than forty of them...... Taryn felt that he would definitely send this first batch of hive tyrants to the front line to scare the wormmen, without soldiers.
Eventually, after some simple education of the Hive Tyrant, Tyron conveyed a message to Fast: "Forget it, let's practice the rest, the affairs of the swarm will be managed by you for the time being, and I will check your results regularly." Don't let me down. โ
Then Taryn went to research the new class. Take time out every day to observe the condition of the swarm.
At the moment, it seems that the performance is okay, better than Tarron's initial foolishness, after all, Tyron has taught this guy all the lessons he has learned. At least it didn't make too much of a mess.
In the development of new classes, Tyron intends to develop a ranged class to avoid being beaten by the enemy when he fights bugmen or ratmen who don't know where to hide in the future.
It's safer to launch something from a hundred kilometers away to hit the enemy than if you run a hundred kilometers to cut him in front of him.
But the worst thing is that there are no animals capable of long-range attacks to give him references...... The creatures in the nearby area are mainly melee attacks, and the only ones that can attack from a distance are also rat people and insect people who use tools to attack......
Recall the situation on Earth, and be able to refer to the means of long-range attack of the creatures...... Cobras, water-shooting fish, unknown spiders that shoot their body hair to attack birds, and ants that spray formic acid......
However, Taryn is completely unaware of the internal structure of their bodies.
Yes, do you still have to follow the path of humanity? If it's a human-like hand structure...... Both the pest and the rat people can provide references.
Mom, is this still called a zerg? Taryn flipped the table (โฏโตโกโฒ)โฏ(โปโโป
Developed a new class from scratch that can attack from a distance...... Taryn thought about it and thought it would be more reliable to improve the fungus blanket.
The first step of the plan was stillborn, and Taryn thought about it for a moment and decided to produce a second Hive Tyrant.
Fast was a little puzzled: "Juggernaut, am I not doing well?" โ
"It's not your job, I have another mission for the Hive Tyrant to do." Taryn casually explained why Fast called him Juggernaut...... It's a little weird that the leader of the Zerg doesn't call himself the Lord, and you can't let it call itself the Queen of Blades, "Your job is to keep the swarm running and defend the lair. As for the newborn hive tyrant, it's going to perfect the genetic atlas of this world for me. โ
"Your will." Fast said respectfully.
"By the way, the education of the new Hive Tyrant is left to you, and I still have something to do." Taryn said, "If the name of the second hive tyrant is ...... Let's call it Sekkender. โ
Since the ranged class won't work for the time being, let's create a new scout class.
Reconnaissance arms should be well concealed and flexible, and some unnecessary structures can be removed.
In fact, this thing is very simple, disguised as the appearance of small animals around it, which can be ignored by most people. After all, no one pays attention to the small bugs that are extremely common on weekdays.
Most of the genes are modelled on the small insects around them, strengthening the visual, olfactory and auditory systems. and the ability to connect the will of the swarm, a simple scout is done.
Taryn thinks that he probably has no brain, and he can't even think of such a simple scout class. The most important thing in war is intelligence, and I ignore this part.
A group of scout classes were hatched, and Taryn immediately sent these scout classes to the city of the Zerg, secretly observing the Zermen's every move.
Since there are no means of long-range strikes, then we can only rely on information superiority. Anyway, let's hold on for now.
The information advantage has been established temporarily, then it is the logistical advantage, the soldiers and horses have not moved the food and grass first, Taryn decided to replace the research of the long-range troops with the research of the second generation of fungus blankets, it is too difficult to start from scratch without a template, it is better to improve the existing conditions first, and then study those when there is enough spare time.
For the second generation of fungus blankets, Taryn already has a rough model, which needs to have the ability to transmit resources and play the role of logistics and transportation, so that the Zerg can obtain a steady stream of supplies on the fungus blanket, as well as the photosynthesis ability of the first generation of fungus blankets, and the ability to control the scale of the fungus blanket that the first generation of fungus blankets does not have.
