At five or six o'clock in the afternoon.

A temporary shower temporarily dispelled the stuffiness in the forest, so that the stuffy air that had always carried a smell of corruption in the past became fresh, a layer of transpiring light mist shrouded the jungle, and the soft golden light of the sun near dusk was not as vicious as at noon sprinkled on the canopy, as if a golden blanket was draped in the jungle, and the faint mist was soaked in a layer of light gold, making people feel like they were in a fairyland.

It's a good time to take a break and enjoy the scenery, move a deck chair to the bare mountain top, wear flip-flops, beach pants, casual clothes, and wear a pair of sunglasses to enjoy the beautiful forest scenery after the rain.

Today, it is the 33rd day of coming to the Golden Triangle, and although I am tired every day for more than a month, I feel extremely happy in the end.

A kind of happiness that finds a purpose in life and strives for it, and lives an incomparably fulfilling life because of constantly approaching one's ideals!

Yawning, stretching, and thinking back on what he had accomplished this month, he felt incredibly satisfied.

In addition to the ones mentioned earlier, three new insects have been designed these days to improve the final balance of the swarm:

Reservoir ants, electric rolling insects, Seiko bees.

The first insect is adapted from a desert-dwelling insect, the honeypot ant.

Because of the lack of food in the harsh environment, these ants have evolved a very peculiar ability - they can make some worker ants act as a storage store for food, these individuals will swallow a large amount of liquid food such as honey like a duck when the food is abundant, store it in the stomach, and spit it out when the colony is short of food.

Due to excessive swallowing, the abdomen of these individuals swells to several times or even dozens of times the body, so they cannot crawl out and can only stay in the depths of the nest, and the food they swallow is often colored, and it looks like a colorful spherical storage jar from a distance, so it is named honeypot ant.

The so-called three armies have not moved, grain and grass go first, and the storage ants are designed with this aspect of logistics in mind, but the stomach is not stored with honey but organic matter that can be eaten by the insect colony, and the concentrated nutrients carried by each one can be consumed by tens of thousands of insects for several days!

Because they do not need to participate in the battle, they are larger than the land patrol insects, and can hardly move on their own, and the cyst ants can only rely on other insects for auxiliary transportation when they are fully loaded.

The second type of worm is the army unit used for combat.

Electric rolling insects are fused with electric beetles, percussion beetles, and very common in dark corners, the kind of weird bugs with more than a dozen legs, the genes of the rat woman, they are cannon fodder units used for self-detonation like dragonflies, the shape is very strange, and when curled up, it looks like black balls with diameters ranging from half a meter to one meter two or three at first glance, and the body surface is mottled.

In order to design it, the final balance can be said to be painstaking, originally the final balance wanted to use the electric beetle master to design the insect of the air combat unit, but considering that the flight and discharge consume most of the energy, resulting in the insect's endurance is too poor, so it was changed to the ground, and because the electric beetle has a discharge organ that is difficult to fit with the body structure of other insects, it took most of the day to adjust the gene segment code final balance to debug the ability of this creature that is absolutely impossible to evolve under natural evolutionary conditions - rolling forward like a sphere!

In this state, the electric rolling insect relies on the discharge organ derived from the electric beetle in the body to control the special muscle contraction of the structure, similar to the principle of electric motors, they can roll like wheels on the surface of the wind, and can maintain a speed of 100 kilometers per hour for 30 minutes!

In addition, the gene of the black beetle, commonly known as kowtow beetle, also gives the electro-rolling insect a very special thorax and abdomen connection structure, allowing them to dodge by bouncing when they encounter obstacles, or use parabola to smash at their opponents.

The shell of the electric rolling insect is hard when curled up, and it can even resist the fire of machine guns when rolling, which is almost equivalent to self-detonating trucks, and if their number reaches a certain level, the group charge launched in the plains is definitely a nightmare for any torrent of steel!

The third type, Seiko bees.

There's nothing to say about this, the main gene is an ordinary bee, as for why it was built because Zhongheng found that although the engineering insects originally used for infrastructure construction were very efficient, they were too poor in finishing, and the holes dug were like dogs gnawing, and it just so happened that bees had the ability to build a nest into a perfect hexagon, and it was completed on the basis of the Cryptowinged Giant Termite.

Thinking about this, and the swarm that continues to become perfect with the continuous revision of the genetic map and the transformation into a real Zerg, the mood of the final balance is better than ever.

On the recliner, he hummed the tune of "Today is a good day", and was holding a thick book to read—not a tedious and boring academic book, but a famous book, "Gone with the Wind".

Since becoming an evolutionary, with a goal in life, it can be regarded as a reluctance to achieve the small ideal of "work is a hobby, hobby is work" in the past, and now the way to seek relaxation after being busy is no longer like in the past to play games, watch movies, or read those easy-to-read online articles, simply pursue these sensory stimulation.

What he pursues in his leisure time now, how to say, is a kind of peace of mind, just like many successful foreign people are looking for a quiet place such as a beach or a deep mountain on vacation, bringing a few in-depth famous books and other books to read carefully, or simply staring at the beautiful scenery in a daze, and the day passes unconsciously.

Before, he didn't understand why these people could spend their hard-won rest time so boringly, and felt that it was not a waste of time to find excitement when they were finally idle, but now Zhongheng finally understood.

It depends on what level the person is at.

After all, it's time to change the taste of eating big fish and meat every day, and when the real business has brought more excitement than the virtual, people will naturally disdain the relatively simple and easy-to-understand superficial things, and the final balance has obviously reached the same level as these once unreachable legends......

No, even higher than that!

Turning the pages of the book, Zhong Heng did not use the reflexes that increased with the increase in mental intensity to glance at ten lines - because then the meaning of reading would be lost, but read carefully, reading and reading only to feel the thoughts penetrating into it, through the artistic conception behind the words as if to be able to communicate with the deceased author, and produce soul resonance.

Especially when you sweep through those classic quotes:

"The land is the only thing in the world that is worth dedicating to it, worth fighting for, because it is the only thing that lasts forever."

The book says.

"The swarm is the only thing in the world that is worth dedicating to it, fighting for it, because it is the only thing that lasts forever."

Just like the Tang poems in the textbooks were changed crookedly in elementary school, they were finally reformed by magic.

As if to feel that the restored sunlight was somewhat harsh as the clouds cleared, he snapped his fingers, and the ground shook, and a shadow instantly covered his head:

It was a land patrol insect, its pitch-black shell covered with hideous barbs, and at this time, it was like an obedient watchdog acting as a parasol for the final balance, standing on the top of the mountain and looking like a pimple on its face from a distance.

It was only yesterday that it was created after repeated design, deduction, modification, and naturally failure, and there are only 5 of them in the same batch.

The shadows made the final balance even more pleasant, but at this moment......

"Okay, I said why can't I find you below, it turns out that I'm lazy here, I'll really enjoy you!"

Xiao Qian's voice came to his ears, and then after tilting his sunglasses down slightly, Zhong Heng saw that she was also dressed like herself, dragging a military folding bed that was used as a recliner.

She walked to Zhong Heng's side, put down the folding bed, glanced at what Zhong Heng was holding in her hand, and said fortunately:

"What are you looking at? Floating? When did you first become interested in this kind of book? ”

Straightened up, and finally smiled:

"Please, I haven't slept for 13 days in a row, isn't this just the task completed today, and those daily tasks have been done, I haven't rested in the past few months, so I just come up and relax for an hour or two, and I'll ......go down when it's dark."

"As for the book...... Oops, my nerves have collapsed so tightly in reality these days, and you still don't allow me to change my taste and occasionally Wenqing? He continued, "Is it true that in reality, we fight and kill every day, in front of a bunch of guns and bugs, and I also read books and watch the paratroopers of the Trimaran starship or something?" That must not tire people to death. ”

"Well, whatever you ......"

And seeing the folding bed in her hand, Zhong Heng was also a little puzzled: By the way, why did you move the chair up?

"Hmph, if you are so relaxed, will I not be so relaxed? 24 hours a day, you want to exhaust me to death, even if I am not a living body now, you know that the prosthesis is also fatigued and worn......"

She slumped on the folding bed and complained as she learned to be the final balance, as she spoke, she seemed to think of something, looked at the top of her head and continued:

"By the way, what are the results of the Land Patrol Bug test? Does it still meet our expectations? ”

Final Balance: Yesterday I had already conducted a virtual test with a wireless helmet to connect the matrix core, so so-so, as for the ...... in reality Well, it's okay to physically impact or something, but I don't know how the weapon can't be loaded now, and I can't test it here......

As he spoke, Zhong Heng also seemed to suddenly realize something, and suddenly realized: Hey, if you don't say that I have forgotten, the biochemical guns, the few biochemical guns that were snatched from the verdict in the Clam City War before the Chinese New Year, and those equipment residues, do you remember?

"Remember, when you designed it more than ten days ago, didn't you still say that the worm should be equipped with that kind of weapon, what's wrong?"

"No, when they return to the small universe in the evening, I have to ask the district to encourage them how the analysis of this gun is going...... Also, it stands to reason that the laboratory was repaired a month ago, and a bunch of miscellaneous things should be officially opened in the next few days, but I don't know when they will start cracking this thing in the rainforest, according to Jiang Allen's ability, even if it can't be copied for mass production, spend a lot of money to analyze it and then use the exchanged things to make two monkey version samples, and then find a way to get a big one, it should be very fast, right? ”

Xiaoqian: Who knows...... Hey, I forgot if you didn't say it, I always felt like something was wrong......

She raised a question.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just, I just think that our success came too easily, I have been preparing for so long before, and it has been so hard for many months in a row, but I haven't touched any wall when I come here to open a base, and I feel like ......"

She continued: It's like riding a rocket, it's easy, and there are basically no technical difficulties, don't you think it's a little too smooth? So fast......

She pointed to the shadow above her head, and then at the swarm of insects toiling in the setting sun on the hillside: it shouldn't be.

After hearing this, Zhong Heng smiled: What's so strange about this? First bitter and then sweet, now there is no difficulty because we have encountered all the difficulties that we should have encountered before, and it is time for God to reward hard work, and now it is time to get a return, forget that when I was looking for investment and hit a wall everywhere, I forgot that when I first unlocked the gene fusion module in December, I don't know how many trash cans were piled up with insect corpses?

"Just like the two or three days of college entrance examination in the three years of high school, it takes several years for a factory base, site selection, preparation, construction, technical preparation and other work, but as long as it is completed and production begins, it is the same as dumplings!

"The same is true of many science and technology, even hundreds of years for such an explosion for that short period of time, don't you see that the network has developed so fast in the last one or two decades, but that is under the premise of how much and how long has it been accumulated before? Computers, materials, energy, processing, ...... "snap your fingers, and count them one by one" If you count the mathematical basis of the code, binary, it will be hundreds of years old...... Just like the name of our organization, weren't the previous ones all seeds collected for the germination of this moment? ”

Finally, he added: Of course, under normal circumstances, it is definitely impossible to be so fast, even if from now on, we will gather the strength of all mankind to develop these in a single way, I estimate that it will take at least hundreds of thousands of years, but don't we have the evolutionary template, a cheat that solves the bottleneck of key technologies such as gene fusion, and what is so strange about it being faster after accumulating enough?

"Well, that makes sense, you won ......"

A rebuttal made Xiaoqian even more speechless.

She stretched and said, "Where did you just go?" Oh, the lab thing, actually......

As she spoke, she smiled evilly: Actually, if you are too slow, I have a way, in fact, you only need to talk to her alone, I guess she will start immediately, maybe......

"You'll be able to see the finished product tomorrow, would you like to try it?"
