Chapter 789: Soul is Essence
Lin Shu saw that Niraya was silent for a while, and turned his head strangely, and Nilaya smiled and said, "I was thinking just now, if you follow their communication chain and go back to the dragon, will you control the communication of the entire ant nest, and if it works, won't you be able to directly put the queen ant in the air?"
Lin Shu grinned silently: "There are several problems with this idea, one is that we don't know the command transmission structure arranged by the queen ant at all, so we don't know if the queen ant has arranged any traps in it, or other countermeasures, when you think you have taken advantage, it may be the time to fall into the trap." ”
Niraya thought about it, this is also true, the queen ant may not live for a short time, she should pay attention to the safety of the ant nest, and the most vulnerable link is of course the communication link, there is no reason for the queen ant not to consider the situation of the communication link being infiltrated and interfered with, right?
Lin Shu continued while observing the battle star ants who were still looking for something around: "The second question is the problem of controlling the distance, imagine the range of the star ants, do you think you can accurately control the movements of the star ants at such a distance?"
"Ugh"
The reason why precise control is needed is because the star ant has a low IQ, so all the commands must be quite specific, if only from the brain's thinking speed and multi-line processing, Lin Shu is of course more than competent. However, this kind of command that goes deep into the end of the action requires precise control of the environment, unless the forest trees are equipped with sensors in the area where the star ants are active in advance, how can they accurately grasp the changes in the scene in order to give accurate instructions?
The queen may be using the gravitational field to keep watch. It's also possible. In the various action squads of the Star Ant. There are also members who specialize in environmental monitoring and assessment hidden in it.
Niraya thought for a long time, and realized that there was no way to solve this problem at all, unless she controlled the advanced domain of the gravitational field.
"This is really a bit speechless, and the queen ant has put all her mind into this?"
"Hehe, I'm just guessing, but imagine it, the queen ant is roaming the universe, in addition to thinking about how to make her race more combative. What else could it think? Not even a single person to talk to. ”
"It can talk to its offspring!"
"Didn't you just say that the authority of the queen ant is unique, so it should not create an existence with intelligence comparable to its own, or even just create an existence with relatively low intelligence, which may destabilize the entire race in the long years. ”
Nilaya shook her head, she had seen a lot of human social forms, so she understood very well what Lin Shu was trying to express, power was something for the Star Ant Clan. It's something that lives and dies, so no matter what the reason. The queen will not allow the possibility of challenging power, let alone just to relieve boredom.
"Another point, which is the problem of quantity, it is natural for us to imagine the communication structure of the Star Ant Clan as a tree-like structure, but this is not necessarily, it may also be a flatter structure, and the queen may be more experienced than us in terms of distraction. ”
"Huh, why do you think so?"
"Because this is more conducive to the stability of power, and the queen ant's long life, the growth of wisdom should not be so slow, the reason for the slow growth of wisdom may be added to the daily tasks are too heavy, and as a result, it has to deal with the heavy control work, distracting a lot of energy. ”
Nilaya thought about it, and nodded indispensably, this doesn't matter, what is the level of wisdom of the queen ant, and when those sensors enter the ant nest, they will soon have a more definite answer, and now the two of them are just guessing and playing here to pass the time.
"What do you think is wrong here, why they refuse to leave, didn't you get a clear order from that communication ant?"
Lin Shu spread his hands and said, "Will you explain the reason for every action to the soldiers on the battlefield?"
"At least there is a clear purpose. ”
"The clear purpose is to search for everything that is problematic here, to eliminate all possible hidden dangers. ”
Forest tree observers observed the regularity of some star ant activities, and found that they seemed to be in a large area, very evenly distributed, controlling a huge spherical space, and the middle position of this spherical space was vaguely their own direction.
Lin Shu frowned, and slowly moved his hiding position to the side, his movements were very slow, because this was already the precise detection range of the ant's nest's gravitational field, and moving too fast was equivalent to exposing himself directly to the enemy's eyes.
Nilaya obviously thought of something, and watched the actions of the star ants a little nervously, but the star ants did not react to the movement of the forest trees, that is, the battle star ants could not directly find the two people hidden in the formation.
But after a while, the star ants began to move, and launched a magic attack towards the path of the forest tree, and the range of the attack gradually extended along the path of the forest tree's movement, it was obvious that they were blindly shooting according to the order, or they could also want to force the forest tree out, or through this magic disturbance, find the forest tree hiding.
It's just that the star ants underestimate the wisdom of human beings, Lin Shu simply simulated the fluctuation of a magic explosion on the enchantment, and successfully hid himself in the background of the chaotic magic energy fluctuation again, and it is basically impossible for the star ant nest to discover the existence of Lin Shu through the gravitational field.
Sure enough, soon the route of the star ants' attack continued to extend forward, away from the location of the forest tree, and soon after, the shooting stopped, and after the star ants wandered around frantically for a while, they finally withdrew under the gaze of Lin Shu and Nilaya, and Nilaya looked at the battle star ant colony that disappeared into the darkness, and actually felt relieved.
These star ants still put a lot of pressure on Nilaya, and the fierce reputation of the star ant clan is really enough to deter them.
"How did they discover our existence?"
"It may be the result of enhanced detection, when they find that something is wrong here, they use a higher density and higher accuracy detection method, patiently waiting for us to move, once we move, they can infer our approximate location from the continuous change of subtle data, but unfortunately, the sensitivity and real-time nature of this remote detection is still too poor. ”
"And what would they have done if we hadn't moved just now?"
"Wait, do you think the star ants will be bored?"
"Well, the Star Ant is a terrible fighting machine. ”
"Well, they were supposed to be fighting machines. ”
Nasha's contact signal arrived on time, and according to Nasha's analysis of the gravitational sensor data, the ant nest seemed to be turning to the other side, rather than heading straight for the Death Star system, maybe Lin Shu guessed wrong.
Lin Shu was very curious, what were these star ants heading towards? Judging from their arc-shaped course, it seemed that they were chasing something, and Lin Shu couldn't help but look forward to it.
He asked Nasha and Xiaoxing to calculate the target that the Star Ant Clan might pursue, and then asked them to try to explore the airspace to see what was attracting the Ant Nest to pursue.
As for this, Lin Shu still needs to wait here to see what interesting things his probes can find.
Waiting in the universe is very boring, Lin Shu and Nilaya have to take turns to cultivate, or simply study some gadgets in the enchantment, Lin Shu does not dare to enter the subspace, for fear that the fluctuations in and out of his own will alarm the star ant clan.
Three days later, Lin Shu's detector finally began to transmit the signal out, Lin Shu calculated the signal delay of the star ant clan, and then compared the signal delay of his own detector, and found that the delay of the two was very accurate and consistent, which shows that the location reached by the sensor is indeed the ant nest, and it also shows that the ant nest has a direct command to the front line of the team operating outside.
The data from the various detectors is very interesting, and the ant nest is really a very interesting place.
"There is no magic energy at all, the inside of the ant nest is a forbidden demon area, so I bet that there will be powerful melee type star ants in the ant nest, and maybe there are also star ants that control gravity with soul power. ”
Nilaya agreed, and Lin Shu's gamble could not be opened.
"Also, the power of the dragon vein is very weak, but the fluctuation spectrum of the gravitational field is almost exactly the same as the power of the dragon vein, indicating that the gravitational field does affect the power of the dragon vein, but this effect is very mild. ”
Nilaya nodded again, waiting for the most important conclusion.
"The gravitational field is very stable internally, and it will not cause serious gravitational distortion, exactly as we predicted, the temperature and humidity are relatively constant, the presence of gas and liquid gas inside the nest is the most important thing, the concentration of free soul force in the nest is very high, even higher than the concentration of soul energy in the dragon vein migration, relying on the high concentration of soul energy, the most efficient communication system has been formed in the nest. ”
"So, the inside of the ant nest is more dangerous than the gravitational field, and that is the real home field of the Star Ant Clan?"
"I think so, the real trump card of the Star Ant Clan may be some kind of species that is good at directly using soul power to attack and defend. ”
Nilaya was silent, thinking about something, and only after a while raised her head and said, "You just said that the brain of the Battle Star Ant is actually quite large, but it is squeezed by the thick exoskeleton and only has a small space left?"
"Yes, what do you want to say?"
"If I were the queen ant, then there was no need for this ace to be different, they may be exactly the same as the battle star ants, but they are scouts and overseers on the battlefield, and the reason why the star ant clan can accurately track the movements of humans is probably related to these star ants who are good at the direct application of souls. In fact, whether it is the First Republic, or the traditional teleportation and summoning system, or even the magic system of our Xuanmen, everything that can open the subspace uses the amount of soul power, and as long as you track the amount of soul power, you can naturally find the footprints of human beings" (to be continued......
