Bai Zhongchu sat on the ground, leaning on the fish caught from the underground river. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zero may be the first Swarm Empress ever to master star energy, and it wasn't difficult for her to make a fire.
This underground space is very large, but it is narrow, like a networked cave. Zero created more Raptormon by capturing creatures in the underground space and replenishing his own nutrients.
Raptormon, which is now classified as a low-class servant beast by Zero. The Beast is the name of all the creatures produced by the swarm, these beasts are obtained by the Empress's biological genetic manipulation, and the Raptormon basically does not have much change, and some of the beasts may be synthesized from the DNA of a variety of organisms. All of the beasts are barren and are completely controlled by the Empress.
Raptormon is used for hunting at zero, so it can obtain DNA and nutrients. It's just that the Raptormon is too small, and every time you want to recycle nutrients, you have to put them into the hive, which means that the Raptormon eats its prey, and then the hive eats the Raptormon to create other Raptormon.
"The bioinformatics I inherited contains the Chlorophyllum, a plant-like servant beast that performs efficient photosynthesis, looks like a plant, and can produce nutrients very efficiently, much faster than the raptor hunts." Zero is a little unhappy with his progress now.
Bai Zhongchu saw it very openly: "The Raptormon is also a good service beast, it moves quickly, and it is very small, it can be used as a scout for reconnaissance, and it is not easy to be discovered by the enemy. β
Zero Mei smiled and held his arm: "If you like it, it's fine." β
Bai Zhongchu no longer resists Zero's intimacy with him now, but he is a little sorry for his real girlfriend. Now he doesn't know Han Jiaxue's situation, so he can only worry all the time. However, Zero is for the sake of a woman he would rather give his life for, and he is not willing to be ruthless to such a girl.
Not long after, Zero watched several Raptormons come back with a half-dead Raptormon, looked at Bai Zhongchu with some curiosity, and said, "What do you want to do by letting this Raptormon swallow a large amount of metal elements?" β
Bai Zhongchu said: "I want to try it, use your hive, to produce a gun." β
Bai Zhongchu quickly told Zero about his idea, his idea was a completely different path from the development of the previous swarm, a path with a prominent human style.
Hives are capable of digesting different elements and giving them to different beasts. The design of the beast was completely manipulated by the Empress, and the Empress had an idea of how to create creatures, and she could use the hive to realize it. Biology is obviously a more complex thing than ordinary mechanical equipment, and the composition of living organisms through cells is much more complex than the simple manufacture and processing of substances.
Essentially, the beasts in the swarm are in some way the same as the machines made by humans. Human machines serve a purpose only, and so do the beasts of the swarm, but in order to achieve this purpose, living beings are given more things.
Just like the Raptormon, in order for it to be able to scout and hunt for food, it needs to be able to run, have locomotion, and have digestive organs.
Bai Zhongchu thought that it was possible to use such a very complex way to directly use the generation of relatively simple organisms to serve the simple purpose of the insect swarm.
Although Bai Zhongchu has lost the backbone brain loaded with a lot of information and knowledge, after years of deep sleep and study, Bai Zhongchu is already an extremely knowledgeable person at this time.
Together with Zero, he designed a new beast, the Pistolmon.
This kind of beast is so simple that it has no brain, and it is not much more complicated than a plant-based beast. Zero designed its DNA to turn the pistolmon into parts of various firearms with the help of the metal provided by the hive as it develops from an embryo to an adult.
Just as bone tissue is an organ made from a mixture of living cells and minerals (calcium, phosphorus, etc.), the organs of the pistolmon are made from a mixture of living cells and metallic substances. Here, Bai Zhongchu lamented that the cells of ordinary organisms cannot tolerate a large amount of heavy metal substances, but the insect nest can produce such cells.
In terms of biological versatility, the Pistolmon is a deformed waste. This creature cannot walk, cannot feed on its own, and has no brain. But from Bai Zhongchu's point of view, the Pistol Beast is a pistol that can shoot.
It has all the parts of a firearm and is capable of firing very easily. Even because of its own circulation, it has less trouble with frequent maintenance than ordinary firearms. Of course, it needs to be fed, a special food made by the hive, which can be pressed into the chamber like a bullet and quickly absorbed by it.
Naturally, the bullet emitted by the Pistol Beast is also a creature, the Bullet Beast. This creature is much rougher and simpler, and even the main role of the creature is to provide "remains" - copper bullets.
Zero's eyes widened, watching Bai Zhongchu shoot with a pistol beast with one arm, and said in surprise: "FΓΌhrer, you are simply a genius. What is it to imitate machinery with living things? Retrobionics? β
Bai Zhongchu is full of confidence at the moment, because he has found a golden avenue.
"We're all used to making machines for simple or complex work, and even the simplest organisms are more complex than most complex machines. However, it is easier to simplify the DNA of the organism and then highlight a certain function so that it has the power of a machine. You've got a good name for antibionics, and that's pretty much what we're doing. β
Bai Zhongchu also knew that it was just a simple creature like a pistol beast, and he and Zero had wasted a lot of effort on designing. It's far harder to design a creature than it is to design a real firearm. However, with the insect hive, as long as a service beast is designed, it can be massively produced. It's definitely a good deal.
On the one hand, he is designing more beasts with Zero, and on the other hand, he also assigns raptors to explore the wider underground space and find a way out. He now believes that he is on a habitable planet, but he doesn't know where this habitable planet is, how he got here, or even whether this habitable planet is in the second universe.
After about a week of living underground with Bai Zhongchu and Zero, Zero had created about a thousand raptors, and even a few humanoids. A group of raptors found an exit to the ground a hundred kilometers away from the river where Bai Zhongchu lived.
Bai Zhongchu was very happy and left the underground with Zero, and they were greeted by a whole new world.
