Redstone Star.

The first landing force was almost depleted, but the second landing force also arrived near the landing site at the same time. The addition of infected worms and swarm hosts, as well as lurkers, gradually turned the tide of battle.

However, the battle damage of the swarm was naturally far greater than that of humans, and Behemoth had to airdrop three more batches of low- and mid-tier swarm troops in a row to ensure that he could capture the landing zone. After sixteen vanishing battles, the swarm of Behemoth finally took the high ground and wiped out the pit worms that connected the area to the main nest.

Behemoth quickly airdropped two batches of insect swarms in succession, airdropping the thunderbeast, a high-level alien creature, and a group of worker bees to the surface, and quickly established a third-level insect hive as a forward base. Black Rose took advantage of the situation to burst into the atmosphere and descend directly above the swarm base to provide close air support (CAS) - but to be honest, this was the first time since the Battle of the Brood that humans had provided fire support to a swarm.

The hatching time of the third-level hive is about twelve hours, during which the queen who was previously in charge of the command will direct the alien insect units belonging to the hive group to set up defenses, including all the worker bees that are airdropped before and after the other buildings of the hive, such as split pools, blaster nests, etc. The main purpose of these buildings is not only to give the corresponding insect unit a place to rest, but also to unlock the lock of the gene pool for the insect queen in charge. Without these buildings, the queen would not be able to command the larvae of her hive to hatch the corresponding alien units.

Many human scientists have tried to figure out how this phenomenon works. Because these buildings only serve as a key to unlocking the gene pool, and do not provide any other support. For humans, it is impossible to assemble units such as siege tanks and fire chariots in the field without heavy factories because they need the machinery of heavy factories, and for alien insects, or for the larvae of aliens, what hinders them is only the genetic locks that need to be unlocked by buildings. After unlocking, they can directly mutate into that kind of unit by using crystal ore and high-energy gas, which is simply unbelievable, not to mention that until now people don't know how those buildings unlock the genetic lock......

The first wave of counterattack was naturally the air force units of the swarm, and at this time the magma tide had not yet faded, and the surface was still dark red, and only the sky still had some safe places. However, the occasional eruption of lava beams from the ground can still have a significant impact on units in the sky. Even a capital ship with shields like Black Rose can ignore these gushing lava bundles, but the swarms, the biological units, and the small human warplanes need to beware of these magma bundles.

Naturally, the human air force dominated by the Black Rose will fight back against the enemy's air force. Behemoth's main hatching direction is still the swarm troops on the ground. The troops on the ground were the result of her full incubation, and the Air Force was handed over to Black Rose to deal with. However, the Stinging Snake on the ground will also provide some assistance with anti-aircraft firepower.

On the other side of the Red Rock Star, the "Keha" base, the command center.

Yang Yi was still a little nervous looking at the real-time battle situation transmitted from the black rose on the big screen in the command center. This is also the first actual battle of the insect swarm under his command, and he doesn't want anything to go wrong in his heart, otherwise it will not be easy for Hubelion to tell the truth. And if you do it again, the effect may not be as good as this one.

Suddenly, he saw the host of the insect swarm that was taking root at the entrance of the highland, and suddenly thought of something, he looked at the hydra beside him who had been silently protecting him, and asked in a low voice, "Hydra." ”

"Commander."

"Can you contact Behemoth?"

"Yes, I can currently use the command network for communication. Do you have any message to convey? ”

"Ask Behemoth, is there anything on Redstone that can integrate and optimize the swarm's genes?"

After seeing the swarm hosts, he suddenly thought of the Flying Locust, an evolutionary variant of the swarm host. However, it is not at this time, and it is a product that Abbathhar, the master of swarm evolution, will make in the future. He wondered if there were any creatures on Redstone that had good genes that could be integrated into the genetic sequence of the swarm.

Hydra fell silent when he heard this, and after a while, Hydra said, "Behemoth has received your question, and she said she will try." ”

The geographical environment of Red Rock Star is very special, and it is naturally possible to give birth to some unique ecological gene pool. Yang Yi's main expectation is actually the kind of jumpable explosive worm. The jump gene itself seems to have mutated from an alien insect on a planet with a similar geographical environment to adapt to the special environment of that place.

In fact, he prefers to have the swarm directly integrate all kinds of creatures from each planet into the genetic sequence of the swarm, in other words, he wants the larvae to have the ability to hatch all the creatures they encounter, so that the insects have the ability to deal with most of the possible bad situations.

But Behemoth had told him about it. The first is whether the chromosomes of the larvae can take on such a large task. Now the gene pool of the larvae has taken over all the genes of the units of the alien worm to ensure that they can quickly mutate into the designated units at any time after the gene pool is unlocked. If all the creatures encountered were thrown into the chromosomes of the larvae, the question of whether there would be so much space left for the larvae.

Secondly, since the Alien Worm led them out of Zerus and began to wander in the starry sky, they have been relying on the Alien Unit to continuously integrate the excellent genes of other creatures to enhance their combat effectiveness, rather than directly integrating other creatures into the swarm battle sequence to expand their army. Of course, their gene pool always retains the genes of each organism, but it is not integrated into the battle sequence of the alien worm. To integrate other creatures into the Alien Worm battle sequence, in addition to considering whether the existing combat system can accommodate these alien creatures, it is also necessary to consider whether these creatures can adapt to the current living environment of the Alien, the way of fighting, and so on. As a result, the swarm doesn't randomly add other creatures to the Insect's fight sequence unless it's necessary.

News soon came from Behemoth, who had identified several currently known creatures on Redstone that reflected in their habits that might have some of the best genes needed by the insects. But Behemoth herself doesn't have the ability to see DNA at a glance, and she needs a sample.

Yang Yi quickly ordered the pirate group to organize a search and capture a group of usable creatures that were in his sphere of influence and were hiding from magma in the high ground, and then sent them to the transport ship, so that the transport ship could be sent to Behemoth.

He hoped that these creatures would give the swarm enough boost to ensure that the rest of the battle could go more smoothly. On the other side, the battle at the swarm landing site is also coming to an end. The enemy's air force suffered heavy losses and was forced to retreat, and the swarm base codenamed "Char" has been initially established. As long as the Level 3 hive is established and the normal mining process begins, the next combat operation can be carried out.
