Zerg, and then in all kinds of science fiction works, it is often a natural disaster in the universe. They have terrifying numbers, great mutations, and a level of unity that puts humanity to shame. They are cold-blooded and cruel, they devour everything, they are endless.

Therefore, the Zerg is firmly on the throne of villains in various science fiction works. Aside from the villains in the comedy genre, there aren't many villains who are as difficult to defeat as they are, and even in the face of near-extinction, they can still make a comeback and give civilization a head-on blow.

But...... Taryn looked at these bugs who should probably barely be considered Zerg through the perspective of a soldier insect, and his heart was entangled.

A long, chubby bug, beside it were some white eggs laid by it. Several cockroach-like insects stick out a pair of thick arthropods and carry the eggs to other places.

The former is an indispensable and important component of this group: the queen worm. But it's a pity that this thing is not able to command troops like the queen worm in StarCraft, it doesn't even have much intelligence, it can only be considered a fertility machine. The latter, on the other hand, is responsible for work similar to that of worker ants in an ant colony, and all kinds of chores are handled by them anyway. Taryn calls it a worker bug.

And the soldier insect that Taryn controls alone at this time is responsible for fighting and hunting, and it looks similar to a jumping insect, but it has lost the horns and wings of the two people who don't know what to use at the mouth, and the claws are also a little different.

Although Taryn became the will of the swarm, it seems that the swarm was born in this ecosystem, and it does not have that terrifying unimaginable number. Rather, it forms a balance with the surrounding ecology.

This is the result that Taryn has observed for nearly two weeks. For the sake of calculation, Taryn counted a day-night transition as a day, seven days and a week. However, if there are 24 hours a day, it is not necessarily.

At present, the number of worker insects is only about seven, and the number of soldier insects is only thirteen. Plus one bug, for a total of twenty-one bugs.

Of course, there are as many things as there are eggs, but this Tarren Zerg does not have such a thing as a fungus blanket, and the eggs cannot supplement their own food, so they have to go through the larval stage for secondary growth, and finally pupate into worker insects or soldier insects.

The Tyranid colony is located in a cave, and the Queen is located in the innermost room, protected by two Soldier Bugs. Next to the room after the worm is two compartments, one for the eggs and the other for the larvae.

After the larvae become pupae, the worker insect will carry the pupa to another room for pupation, the pupa will be divided into two batches, and the pheromone will be used to make it become the pupa of the worker or soldier insect, and then a pheromone will be used to keep the mature pupa in this dormant state to reduce the consumption of resources. Wait until the Soldier Bug or Worker Bug needs to be replenished or replaced before being awakened to quickly replenish the population.

Recently, due to several missteps by Tyrann, the swarm has lost several of them, some pupae have been awakened, and the queen also needs to lay eggs for storage.

Look at your own race, and then think about those zerg novels who ruled the planet in a few months, and stepped into the sea of stars in a few years to become a cosmic catastrophe. Tyron suddenly discovers that their greatest golden finger is not their mutation ability, but their terrifying digestion ability.

Although the swarm controlled by Tylen is omnivorous, it mainly feeds on meat, and cannot even eat dirt. And meat ...... The density of animals is limited. It's not that you have to go out and get something out of it, especially if you're a native creature and not an invasive alien species. Without such a magical thing as a fungus blanket, Taryn would not have been able to do what he did in those novels.

As for the necessary gold finger for the traverser, Taryn naturally has it, after all, the traverser without the gold finger is dead, isn't it? (laughs)

Tyrann's golden finger is a special panel in his consciousness that displays the Zerg genes, and he is able to edit the Zerg genes on the panel. At the same time, as long as you think about the display of results, you will show the morphology of a mature Zerg with a modified gene. At the same time, he can also import the modified genes edited on the panel into the eggs, so that the eggs will generate Zerg with the genes.

However, as a guy with only high school knowledge of biology...... Taryn looked at the strand of DNA and his head grew. It's not something you can just make up something you can just make. However, compared with human scientists, Taryn still has some advantages, humans need to manipulate DNA through endonuclease and ligase, and can combine everything to see the face, while Taryn can observe the situation of DNA and manipulate DNA more quickly and intuitively.

The only problem is that the DNA strand is so long that figuring out which strand controls which trait is not something that can be done in a moment, after all, Taryn is somehow starting from scratch. His knowledge of genes is also close to zero.

Taryn didn't quite understand how the protagonists of the novels who could control genes managed to suddenly transform a bunch of weak bugs into ferocious zerg in just a few days, were they all masters of genetics? Fully understand the role of each gene?

I may have met a fake zerg. Taryn thought to himself.

If you want to mutate into a more powerful force, you can't do it for a while, so you can only start in terms of numbers.

If needed, the queen can actually hatch a large number of eggs quickly, but the premise of all this is that there are sufficient resources, and it is difficult to expand the population when the Tarren Zerg cannot even eat the soil. After all, there is a limit to the amount of prey that can be hunted in an area. It is not wise to come into conflict with other predators without understanding the situation.

So...... How do we get enough food? There are four methods, the first is to expand the hunting range of the Zerg and eliminate other predators in the vicinity. The second is to expand the range of Zerg recipes and find a way to accept even eating soil. The third is to migrate the tribe and find a territory with more prey. Fourth, take the human approach, animal husbandry and farming.

The first method is not feasible, Tyran's Zerg itself is a part of the local ecological environment, and it is not possible to change the hunting range determined by long-term competition.

The second method can only be a pipe dream until Taryn has studied the genes thoroughly.

The third method is too risky, the queen does not have any combat ability itself, and it is not easy to migrate to protect the queen.

As for the fourth ...... If humans can have fun, why can't the Zerg?
