Chapter 31: Undercurrents are surging
Hu Hansan...... No, although the first low-level bug of the Fat Worm King landed, it was not directly on the right track of development next, and this low-level bug died quickly due to lack of oxygen.
Its death made a huge contribution to the swarm, and in the process of retrieving the body, Natasha, who usually does not take the initiative to speak, spoke up:
"My lord, it absorbed oxygen molecules before it died."
The one-level Natasha is not only used to command the swarm to fight, she has a lot of incredible abilities as a pure spirit body, like now, when it comes to analyzing the pre-death state of the body, she has far more efficiency than human technology.
Oxygen molecules were absorbed, but they still died in the end, indicating that the gas released by the rocks during the heating of the formation did not completely escape, and the Fat Worm realized that the wandering planet in front of him was likely to have the ability to restore the atmosphere.
In star systems, this speculation is not valid, and in the absence of a strong magnetic core in a rocky star with a diameter of 2,000 kilometers, the gas will quickly escape due to various reasons such as solar wind and gravitational action between planets. The location of the wandering planet is in the ice region, separated by a distance of light years, and the cosmic rays, solar wind, and gravitational influence of nearby stars can be ignored here.
This speculation caused him to change his previous plans and decide to use this wandering planet as a base for development.
The difference between the two ideas is that the former is just a simple use of materials, and a lot of waste will be generated in the process, and the proportion of the constituent elements of the insect is still somewhat different from that of the stone, and the mother worm also needs to spend some extra essence to turn the usable part into manufacturing materials. The latter, on the other hand, requires the planetary core to be restarted first to provide a stable environment for the bottom bugs of the swarm to process the raw materials, so that the productivity is determined by the number of bottom bugs rather than the digestion capacity of a few space bugs.
Mars in the real world has undergone this major change back then, so even if Fat Worm Jun is not a celestial professional, he knows how to restart the kernel.
On the one hand, the shuttle war bugs expanded their striking surface to find the weaker areas of the planet, and on the other hand, they began to make "drill bits".
Unlike ordinary crust drills, the drill bit used to restart the core is a bit like a machine in various drilling games, without the need for a surface platform, and the goal is to dig in the middle to start the heating program.
In order to ensure a success, Fat Worm Jun injected the essence of a non-adult space worm mother into the drill after its evolution was completed.
The super radiation energy heats the material near the top of the drill bit intensely, and the unbalanced reaction caused by the excessive heating speed causes the rock mass to collapse, making the drilling progress very fast, at first almost 100 kilometers per day. However, as the underground pressure became higher and higher, the rock formation could not be blown out of the gap, and the excavation gradually turned into swimming in the molten rock, and it took nearly a month to reach the center point.
It is much easier to restart the core than the drilling process, and the drill bit enters the heating mode and maintains a temperature of less than 2,000 degrees for 100 hours, and when the surrounding area has been lavaized for tens of kilometers, it directly releases all the energy before the death of the control body. Maybe the energy was too great, or maybe the planet was too small and too cold, and the earthquake generated by the final energy release actually tore the planet into a rift more than 1,000 kilometers long and 200 kilometers deep, and when the earthquake calmed down a few days later, the crack was already covered with lava.
As the inner core restarts, the frozen rocks release gas, and in just a few days the planet's surface is covered with a thin atmosphere, but it is very thin, and it has not reached two kilometers until it stabilizes half a month later. But this was enough for the swarm, and with the slight adaptation improvements made to the swarm during the restart cycle, they were able to move on the ground with the blanket.
The content of toxic gases such as sulfur dioxide on the planet, which has just restarted the kernel, is much higher than in the stable period, but it is a boon to the swarm, and the greenhouse effect of sulfur dioxide is hundreds of times better than that of carbon dioxide, and its higher content can quickly put the planet's surface into a temperature range suitable for various low-level insect activities.
After some tossing and turning with each other, the swarm of the Fat Worm King also stabilized on the surface of the wandering planet, and the average surface temperature of the wandering planet at this time was two hundred degrees.
It should be mentioned that because the air pressure is too low, the boiling point of water is less than forty degrees, and in order not to waste this largest amount of resources, the low-level bugs on the ground have to grow larger and evolve a sturdy exoskeleton to form a high-pressure system in the body to retain water. Structurally, the low-level bugs at this time are very close to the space species in the swarm.
In the dozens of days of transforming the wandering planet, he had already learned his location from the other "Great Demon Kings", and according to the key points of the star map he had memorized, the "Great Demon Kings" provided him with a star map password.
This kind of password has nothing to do with the ancient spy password and account password, it is more similar to file compression, using a fixed algorithm to compress a large amount of information to the extent that it can be memorized by humans, and the principle is completed with the help of Natasha's super spiritual power, and the restored star map can already represent the precise time and location of the last twenty galaxies.
After getting the star map, the fat worm Jun realized that he had not reached the normal galaxy after dozens of jumps before, and the fundamental reason was that the calculation accuracy of the insect's channel was too low, don't look at the space worm mother, the small ones are two kilometers in size, and the computational power has nothing to do with the size, they can only be calculated to a maximum of five decimal places, and the superspace jumps in the face of the channel are at least a few light years, and the error of tens of millions of kilometers is considered close. If a similar event occurs every time you migrate after the fight, won't your own swarm become an occasional disaster similar to a natural disaster?
Compared to the poor counting ability of most bugs, this star map from humans uses AU (about 150 million kilometers) and is accurate to five decimal places, which is equivalent to using light years to be accurate to ten decimal places! With this precision, the coordinate numbers of galaxies change every few dozen hours.
At this point, the Fat Worm King needs to start the next step - to create at least one special space worm mother, and make some design improvements to the existing space worm mother with the help of an undisturbed environment.
Fat Worm Jun's idea is very straightforward, if the space worm mother doesn't have enough intelligence to understand this level of accuracy, how can she jump into place without being able to confirm her precise location? "Intuition" has clearly tricked the entire swarm once.
Due to the size of the space insect mother, the substances and essences needed for evolution are too amazing, and the current situation in front of her is not too generous, the fat insect king has to hit the idea of the only level creature.
Most bugs rely only on instinct and commands from higher classes, and the only individuals that can possess intelligence are the basic ground worm mother, the flying bug queen, and the space bug mother, each of which has a unique level of super-intelligent individuals. In the gene pool of Fat Worm Jun, the only space bug queen is named Donia.
When Pan Wen went to MR251 for a visit and meeting, it was just when Donia was beginning to take shape.
"My lord, Donia thank you for your call." The one who made the sound was a woman-like creature in front of Fat Worm Jun, with a long strip and a root under the "ground".
The location of the Fat Worm King is the inside of Donia, and the human form in front of her is an organ that Donia has specialized according to his requirements, and for her, it is a dispensable existence like a cecum.
Like Natasha, Donia's physical structure, intelligence, and mobility are completely out of the same level as her kind. The initial development of Donia has a maximum length of more than three kilometers, compared to other insect mothers like egg-hugging centipedes, she is more like a metal spindle-shaped battleship, when it grows into a complete body, as long as there is enough material reserves, it will be able to produce ordinary semi-complete space insect mothers without external resources.
It may be strange to say that the semi-complete body is that the space worm mother created by Donia does not have the "egg" to hold, that is, there is no production and storage space. Depending on the demand, this semi-complete body can be weaponized or factoryized, of course, considering that the amount of essence is too large and the body is too easy to target, weaponization is the worst option.
The first task given to Donia by Fat Worm was to let her try to calculate the specific locations of other galaxies from near to far while observing the part of the star map that had been calculated. It doesn't matter if the estimated value is reliable or not, the main thing is to allow Donia to adapt to the high-precision algorithm during the growth period, and combined with the star map from humans, it should shorten the preparation time for the jump.
……
Donia is growing up in an unknown corner, and Karida is following Pan Wen to visit his fleet more than two million kilometers from Hemer.
Through this transfer of technical information, Kareda has already understood that if his family in Segeis does not dig a piece of meat on her, he will definitely not use manpower and material resources to help her. So she already owes a lot of debt for D21 Development, and now her biggest reliance is only on the existing shareholders' meeting, and the most unstable factor in the shareholders' meeting is undoubtedly Pan Wen.
Involved in the development of D21, Pan Wen has always had a detachment on standby here, and although his crew has signed an agreement, there are too many people, and it is impossible to really do it without leaking a word. This time she came by boat in the name of seeing him off, mainly to see if his fleet had expanded again recently.
By the time the imaging system clearly outlined the Harbour, she had already understood that everything he had said was not a lie, even if the other shareholders together might not have been taken into account by him, this man was a madman at all!
There are pros and cons to being teammates with madmen, the benefits D21 has already been enjoyed, and the E7 swarm crisis has been ruled out, and the recent technical data is even more unexpected; The downside is the unpredictable future of the madmen, and there is no way to judge whether it is a time bomb, a nuclear bomb, or a dud.
If it had been a former family background, Kareda would most likely have chosen to eliminate instability, even if it was through assassination or other tactics. Even without his family background, he was just a strong and unstable teammate, and it was better to exclude him from management and only pay dividends, but after getting the technical information, she began to try to really understand him.
Judging from what he knew about him, and from the information he gathered, it seemed that he had been preparing for war all along—real war, not petty pirate fights. In fact, she was a little aware of this, but she, like many outsiders, didn't understand that his so-called enemy, how could he ignore the interstellar covenant and start a war brazenly?
It wasn't until she saw the record of the latest League hearing and found that Segeis's interests in MR241 had almost zeroed out, that she realized that she was as slow as many fools she once looked down upon, and that the surrounding forces around MR241 had fallen into the warning zone of war!
Even if she didn't want to admit it and no one knew, she did laugh at his so-called "prophecy" in private, and now it seems that it was good that her proposal for a capital increase was not vetoed at that time, otherwise the D21 would not even be qualified to be a supply port in the current situation, let alone to seek benefits in the war.
Before leaving, Kareda gave a deep kiss to the man, who looked a little thinner than herself.
