Chapter 2 Reproduction

Copy yourself!

Once this thought appeared, it kept getting bigger and bigger like wildfire, and it was out of control.

But how do you replicate yourself? Yan Shiyi himself didn't have a clear solution, he was a product of the Protoss Laboratory, and although he had experienced ten failures when he made him, he didn't know the process in between.

I don't have any detailed information in my head, so do you want me to copy it myself? The body is easy to say, Yan Shiyi thought of the strange thoughts that he had when he repaired his right arm, he could constantly disassemble the limbs, repair and copy, and create another limb, but what about the brain?

Do you want me to copy it myself?

Tinder? It's just a small warship, and there is no such equipment at all, and even copying a control crystal can't do it.

He sat in the control room at a loss.

It's okay to say that the body or something, but the brain is not easy to copy, and there is the core of your own power, which is also a trouble. That was too delicate, and with the resources and equipment in Yan Shiyi's hands now, it couldn't be manufactured at all.

It would be nice if it could be replicated directly through the body.

This is a strange idea, after all, Yan Shiyi is not a complete living organism, and there are still a large number of mechanical and technological products in it.

He remembered the state when he was upgraded, did he rely on devouring?

Why did you evolve in the first place? Could it be that it was parasitized by the Void Worm and left something behind?

Yan Shiyi couldn't figure out what was going on with him.

You still need to wait a minute, you need to build a mining equipment first, the materials for construction are ready-made, but the number is not very large, and it is impossible to build a battleship, and those materials seem to have been devoured by the legion commander.

He let go of the idea of copying and landed the Tinder to the place where it had fallen, intending to build a mining rig in a flatter part of the area, and then build some of the devices he needed.

In order to make it easier for him to devour, the mining device built by Yan Shiyi is not too complicated, and what he needs is only conventional metals, which metal is more abundant to collect.

This planet is just a small and medium-sized planet that is deserted and uninhabited, with only a thin atmosphere, no flora and fauna, except for rubble all over the ground, which is hundreds or thousands of craters on the surface of the planet.

There is no water, even the polar regions do not have a so-called ice cap, it is completely unsuitable for the survival of living things, let alone human beings, the gravitational pull of the planet is not large, the magnetic field is almost none, and there is not a natural satellite.

The sky was gray, and the rise and fall of the stars on the horizon in the distance was not very obvious, but the figure of a moon-sized planet in the zenith made Yan Shiyi a little strange, could it be said that this planet was a satellite or companion star of that huge planet?

At that time, because he was manipulating the Tinder, Yan Shiyi didn't pay too much attention to the surrounding environment, and at this time, he thought about it.

After building the mining rig and letting it mine under the edge of a mountain that was obviously caused by a meteorite not far away, Yan Shiyi once again turned his attention to himself.

"It would be nice to be able to replicate itself."

He struggled to figure out how he could replicate like a living being.

Yan Shiyi looked at his body, stretched out his hand and opened the power core near his heart at will, and there was still a small half of the silver mangjing inside.

"The Legion Commander said I have spatial abilities, what's going on?" He thought to himself, this was the first time in this time that he had thought so much, and before he had been thinking about sailing more distances.

He carefully checked his body against the raw data, he didn't have time to do this when he first upgraded, and now he needed to know his body completely before he could copy or create more intelligent machines from it.

The intelligent machines built by Xingti at the beginning could only be regarded as imitations, and they could not be compared with Yan Shiyi's body. And all of them are pure mechanical bodies, even if they are far from Yan Shiyi before the upgrade.

Yan Shiyi gradually scanned and analyzed his body, and he found a lot of incomprehensible things, not mechanical, nor human-like tissues, those things were more like energy veins, energy channels.

Could this be the result of the transformation of the Void Worm during its parasitism?

And what's wrapped around your own power core? Why didn't you find out before? It is already connected with the power core.

Feeling the vigorous energy inside, Yan Shiyi was a little puzzled, could this be the thing that caused me to evolve?

What he didn't know was that the Void Worm could not only parasitize organisms, but also have a suitable structure, that is, space equipment.

At the beginning, the juvenile was also in a hurry, and it was even necessary to transform Yan Shiyi.

If Yan Shiyi's energy had more at the beginning, it could support its transformation, maybe it could be parasitic, but because the transformation exhausted Yan Shiyi's energy, he almost died.

The larvae saw that there was no hope of transformation and had no choice but to break away, and the weak one was unable to parasitize again.

Yan Shiyi, who was thinking about it, was so unexpectedly surprised that he picked up a blue lazuli and played with it, and then ruthlessly replaced the blue lazuli with a small half of the silver mangjing.

Suddenly, the light flashed.

Powerful energy suddenly filled his whole body, making Yan Shiyi feel like he was about to be burned, Yan Shiyi, who was already half-human, was unwilling to be burned like this, and a strong desire to survive appeared in his brain that should not exist.

The metal armor on his body suddenly appeared, with a flickering blue light.

The tissues of the body are constantly washed by energy, constantly dividing and constantly transforming. Although it is not an upgrade, it is more violent and thorough than the last time I devoured a large amount of metal.

Under the metal armor, the organization is increasing dramatically, and in a short period of time, Yan Shiyi's body has expanded in a circle, I don't know what material the Protoss uses to make the metal bones, at this time it has also changed, and it has actually fused with the human tissue outside, becoming stronger, and the lines have also been fused with the tissue, closer to the living organism.

Pain!

This thing that shouldn't have appeared on Yan Shiyi's body is now full of his bigness

The core of the brain made Yan Shiyi unable to stand unsteadily anymore, and fell directly to the ground.

There is too much energy, the power core can't carry it at all, and this body can't carry it either, either die or release it. But the metal armor outside had already restrained Yan Shiyi, and the severe pain also affected his decision.

Yan Shiyi kept twitching, which was unconsciously caused by the continuous growth of the outside organization. The original energy channel was further expanded and integrated into the organization, no longer independent, but even connected to the power core.

The rushing energy entered the energy channel, which made Yan Shiyi feel better.

The idea that Yan Shiyi wanted to replicate in his heart still existed, and the excess energy made his organization proliferate at the same time, and gradually showed signs of splitting, and Yan Shiyi discovered this for the first time.

This amazed him, could he be copied by means of energy?

It's incredibly that the Protoss didn't have such a setting when they made themselves. Aren't robots, even intelligent machines, all manufactured?

Time is ticking, hyperplasia is going on, and division is going on.

On the left side of Yan Shiyi's body, the part of his body had already enlarged, as if it was the other half of his body, and he endured the impact of the surge of energy on his brain and divided a part of his ability to scan the newly reborn part of his body.

What?

This scan made him completely stunned, the left half of his body was the owner of the power core, and now the newly split part actually appeared with the same structure, most of them were strange tissues, and there was also a structure similar to the power core, but it was more refined, far beyond Yan Shiyi's own now.

This ......, is this still evolving?!

Hunger!

A strong sense of hunger filled Yan Shiyi's brain, the robot only needed energy, how could there be a feeling of biological hunger, which made Yan Shiyi a little crazy.

He didn't know what to eat, there was no shortage of energy now, and he was about to be overwhelmed by the raging energy now.

What exactly do you want to eat? He staggered towards the Tinder, which was not far away.

The extra part of the body is not perfect, and the left side of the body is growing like a huge tumor, wrapped in metal armor outside, and it is still impossible to see what it looks like.

He only felt that his left leg was a little uncoordinated, and his left leg, which was twice as large, was a little unobedient.

He stumbled into the Tinder, looking around, he really didn't know what he was supposed to eat, he didn't prepare a single bit of human food because he was a robot, he had only devoured metal before.

Right!!! Metal, is metal.

He climbed into the storage warehouse, which was almost full of metal blocks given to him by Qin Feng, but how to devour such a large metal block now, it was all cut and devoured by using the equipment on the Xingti before.

He grabbed the edge of a piece of metal and tried. The sudden addition of body parts actually flowed out of the cracks in his metal armor like liquid, which almost scared Yan Shiyi, who was originally an intelligent mechanical body, to death.

What the hell is this?

Parasites?

One end of the liquid was still attached to his left foot, and the bulging/large metal armor had returned to its original state. The liquid slowly poured towards the metal block, wrapping the piece of metal that Yan Shiyi had touched that he didn't know what it was.

The metal gradually melted, mixed with the liquid, and the fluidity of the liquid increased a lot, and it became shiny, crawling towards the metal next to it again.

Devoured an entire piece of metal nearly a foot square, and the liquid was not satisfied. And it trickled down to the metal block next to it.

devoured three pieces one after another, and then slowly crawled back into Yan Shiyi's body.

If this was put on a human being, this alone would be enough to scare it to death, but Yan Shiyi slowly accepted the fact that it had happened to him after the initial surprise.

With the return of the liquid, Yan Shiyi felt a huge sense of expansion, and a shape was generated next to the original head, which was a complete head, which made Yan Shiyi completely believe that he was splitting and copying.

But with the generation of the head, Yan Shiyi's body has also undergone tremendous changes, a change that he can't believe, his body is slowly liquefiing, whether it is the original or the new.

Since the original metal armor doesn't know where to go at this time, without the restraint of the armor, it is a puddle of liquid.

Then, the two skulls also liquefied, leaving only the crystal core in the original brain, and the crystal was driven by the continuous wriggling of the liquid, and the energy surged towards the crystal with the liquid at a speed visible to the naked eye, constantly wrapping.
