Minke's black technology

Chapter 491 The Empress of Green Clams
The biological spacecraft Qingfu has extremely high performance.

It was born with subspace navigation capabilities, and coupled with the curvature engine installed the day after tomorrow, it can basically travel unimpeded anywhere.

The only reason why it is designed as a dual-engine model is to consider that the Qingfu needs to sneak behind enemy lines for reconnaissance.

Then subspace navigation is a must-have ability, and it can't be too bad. When you don't reveal your true identity, you must be able to avoid other Zerg at high speed.

Once the identity is exposed, the curvature engine can only be activated to shatter the surrounding subspace, so as to ensure that the spaceship has room to move forward and retreat freely.

In addition, there is a long distance from the edge of the third spiral arm of the Milky Way to the Sirius galaxy, and there is a huge fracture layer in the subspace, and the curvature engine must be turned on to sail there.

As long as it enters an area with subspace, the Qingfu can switch to subspace navigation mode, and then sneak into Sirius without anyone noticing.

According to the intelligence information of the gray men, and the anatomical analysis of the Zerg race by earth experts, the social form of the Zerg race from Sirius is constructed in the bee colony mode.

Zerg research experts believe: "There is a master in each group of Zerg, and many masters have princes on top, and then there is a unique Zerg queen!"

At present, all they encounter are Zerg masters, and the bugs controlled by these masters have no self-awareness, and completely obey the orders of the master. Once the master is killed, the remaining Zerg will either merge into other swarms or enter hibernation alone state, waiting for the next master signal to connect.

Then, the masters all obeyed the prince's order.

In the beginning, when the little gray men killed one or two princes, a large number of Zerg masters were affected, either desperately attacking or actively retreating.

So they thought that this was the Zerg Queen, but it turned out that this was not the case.

At the same time, the evolution directions of the Zergs under each Zerg Queen are different, and they are not controlled by each other, but they can live in peace. As long as they don't violate the social customs between them, there will basically be no conflicts.

"It's as if the queen is the brain, the prince is the important tissue and organ, the master is the limbs, and the bug is the cells."

In other words, after the Qingfu entered the territory of the Sirius Zerg, as long as it displayed the unique characteristic information of the Zerg, it would not attract attention.

Because each swarm will have strange things, this is the Zerg queen trying a new evolutionary path, once she gains something, she will absorb and digest the evolutionary results, and openly synchronize to all Zergs.

However, according to experts' speculation, there is actually the ancestor Zerg Emperor above the Zerg Queen, who can control all queens through spiritual thoughts, and belongs to the highest existence among the Zerg.

"We think that the Qingfu can at best outwit the Zerg Queen."

All in all, that is, don't let the Qingfu number meet the ancestor worm emperor, otherwise the true identity will definitely be exposed!

On the day when the Qingfu broke out of its cocoon, Li Maoye watched the whole process through the stand-in robot. According to the relevant values, it can be put into use directly after a short rest.

"It's really eye-opening that there are pure biological spaceships!"

"What's even more surprising is that its manufacturing cost is not high. Although the initial investment cost seems huge, the subsequent production cost can be reduced to a very low level."

The manufacturing cost of the Qingfu is mainly the preparation tank and the surrounding infrastructure. As for the protozoa, nutrients and electricity, they are all small expenses, and the rest are the corpses of the bugs.

As long as the Zerg don't die for a day, there will be too many carcasses that no one wants, so the cost of making biological spaceships in the future is indeed surprisingly small.

These people are amazed. They are all people from other countries. Basically, they are participating in the interstellar project for the first time, and they all use stand-in robots.

Zhou Lin, who was standing aside, just wanted to laugh. After all, in his opinion, biological spaceships are nothing, at least after seeing a city on Mars that was also made of living things, this kind of operation is very common.

Because of this, after the "Qingfu" proposal was submitted, basically no one questioned whether this technology could be realized.

"Attention everyone, the spaceship is ready to come out!" Suddenly someone shouted.

So everyone stopped talking and looked at the real-time video on the big screen. Some people stood in front of the tempered glass wall and looked at the ocean with binoculars.

I saw the giant cocoon in the ocean surfaced, floating up and down in the nutrient solution, and with the ear-piercing tearing sound, a crack appeared in the huge cocoon shell.

A white insect drilled out of it, a hawkmoth the size of a mountain, crawled on the cocoon shell and gnawed non-stop, and quickly ate a small half of the giant cocoon.

"What is this doing?" a guest asked.

Hao Qi took a look at the other party and recognized that the man was a representative sent by John Bull. Judging from the official information, he should be a military scientist, and he was considered half of his colleagues.

"This is replenishing energy." Hao Qi explained: "The Qingfu can obtain energy by devouring organic matter and water, and if necessary, it will also eat a certain amount of inorganic matter to strengthen its own defense."

Just as he was speaking, the Qingfu spaceship lowered the half-swallowed giant cocoon and took off into the air. Its posture and figure were just like the Kunpeng in "Happy Journey".

But unlike ordinary insects, it does not need to swing its wings at all, but emits colorful lights on its wings and tail, easily breaking away from gravity.

Everyone saw that the spaceship Qingfu hovered over the huge preparation tank, then landed on a high mountain next to it, and then bent over to eat.

As it ate more and more things, the color of its body gradually changed, from a white hawkmoth to blue-black, with a metallic luster all over its body, it didn't look like a biological insect at all.

"Ah! This is, this is..."

Those watching friends from various countries were amazed. After Hao Qi and others explained, they realized that the Qingfu was replenishing various metal minerals, and these things happened to exist in that mountain.

"Although the Qingfu is a biological insect spacecraft, in fact, the toughness of any part of its body is a hundred times stronger than that of all metals and steels, and it can heal itself when injured." Hao Qi said.

From all aspects, except for the troublesome production, basically this kind of biological insect spacecraft is extremely cost-effective, far exceeding the interstellar spacecraft that can be built by the current level of human technology.

It waited for the "Qingfu" to finish eating before it stopped flying automatically, suspended in the air and waited for instructions.

Hao Qi continued to act as the narrator and said to the others: "This is controlled by the biochip we implanted, as long as..."

At this moment, an alarm sounded from the main control room.

"First-level alert, a subspace reaction has been found in the current galaxy!" The monitoring personnel reported.

Soon, the front monitoring equipment transmitted a picture, and saw that not far from the planet, suddenly a huge bug drilled out of the subspace, and there were millions of them in a few seconds.

"What's going on?" Zhou Lin was stunned.

Not only was he stunned, but basically everyone present was taken aback. Fortunately, most of them arrived through stand-in robots, otherwise they would probably be doomed this time.

Li Maoye was also a little surprised, thinking that his plan to send spies to the Zerg had been exposed, so he didn't care about 21, and directly killed them first.

But when you think about it carefully, many people don't know about this plan. Even Hao Qi only knows that "Qingfu" is the latest biotechnology of Meowstar Technology, and has no idea what it is made of.

If such confidential things are known by the Zerg, then humans will have no secrets in front of them.

"It should be for other reasons!" Li Maoye speculated secretly.

"Evacuate the people first and let them go offline!" Zhou Lin instructed the staff.

Under the tense and orderly arrangement, their stand-in robot swayed for a while, then resumed its standing posture, and returned to the rest cabin by itself. This means that the guests present have gone offline.

"Academician Li, hurry up and go offline!" Hao Qi said.

Li Maoye waved his hand and said with a light smile: "Don't be so anxious, but you who are present here should pay attention to safety!"

No matter what, there are still five living people on the planet, including Hao Qi himself, and the other four technicians. Their first priority is to hide in the safe base.

Judging from the intelligence of all parties, the Zerg that attacked this time should have slipped through the net at the beginning, and they were probably hidden within a few light years, otherwise they wouldn't have arrived here so quickly.

After all, the Zerg needs to consume physical strength when navigating in the subspace, and it is impossible to fly all the way here from Sirius.

Now that he was able to kill him silently, without showing any traces, he must have been lurking in this star field for a long time, but somehow he was stimulated and rushed over like crazy.

Facts have also proved this point. According to the feedback from the monitoring equipment in front, there are still Zerg who have been leaving the subspace. The time interval between before and after is so long, they should be flying from different places.

As for the Earth's interstellar expeditionary force, they also couldn't arrive in time, at least for the next few days, Hao Qi and the others had to rely on themselves.

But just when everyone was surprised that the Zerg would launch an attack, a surprising scene happened. These bugs who left the subspace, lined up one by one according to their types, slowly flew over the planet and landed.

Then, under the astonished eyes of Hao Qi and others, these huge and strangely shaped insects all fell down in front of the "Qingfu", as if they were worshiping the king of the Zerg race.

"What, what's going on here?" Hao Qi asked tremblingly.

Li Maoye had activated the CVI system long ago, deduced and analyzed what was happening now, and finally got a more reliable answer.

"They're showing their loyalty to the Queen," he said.

"What? The Qingfu is the Zerg Queen?"

"Maybe it's the master?" Li Maoye was not sure about this. "I remember that the Zerg Queen was not killed in this star field, right? There are quite a few masters. It seems that four or five masters have been killed."

According to CVI's deduction information, it should be that they threw several Juggernaut corpses into the preparation tank. After all, their energy level is much higher than that of ordinary Zerg, and the corpses will naturally be more complete, and they are not easy to rot and degrade.

The genetic information fragments of these masters will naturally be absorbed by the parasitic beast "protozoa", and after reorganization and optimization, the energy level is further improved, surpassing the original master, and closer to the queen's level.

Then, after the birth of the "Green Finch", it would send out the information of the Zerg Queen through the subspace, and naturally wake up those bugs that had escaped from the bug swarm.

So this scene happened.

The above are all conjectures, but Li Maoye thinks it is very close to the truth, but he has to test it to know.

He said to Hao Qi: "Connect the biological chip of the spacecraft and let the Qingfu leave the planet against those Zergs."

"Huh? Does the Qingfu have such a function?" Hao Qi said.

"I don't know, so I have to test it!"

"Okay!" Hao Qi took action immediately. He arranged for other staff to complete the final adjustments, and then remotely connected to the "Qingfu" biochip, and issued instructions through the communication equipment in the main control room.

As soon as the button was pressed here, the Zergs over there took action, and they all flew into the air and left the ground quickly, and they were about to fly away and disappear.

"Quick, let them come back!" Li Maoye said again.

"Come back." Hao Qi didn't press the button this time, but controlled it by voice, and sure enough, the Zergs returned to the "Qingfu".

After several tests, Li Maoye finally confirmed one thing.

"The energy level has really improved!"

"What do you mean?"

"The Qingfu not only simulated the Zerg perfectly, but I thought it was only at the master level, but I didn't expect it to become the Queen of the Zerg!"

This result is a bit unexpected, but it is very reasonable. No wonder the Zerg strictly forbids the masters to fight each other. It turns out that they can increase their energy level by devouring each other.

The status of each bug in the Zerg group is usually determined by its own energy. The greater the energy, the higher the level, the higher the status in the Zerg group, and this is the so-called energy level.

The Sirius Zerg can devour energy, even the stars and the sun. They are looking for energy like cosmic locusts, so it is normal for them to distinguish classes by energy level.

"In this case, the Zerg spy program is fine."

Li Maoye touched his bald head. Although it was just a stand-in robot, it felt the same as touching his own, and it could almost perfectly transmit sensory signals.

"but……"

Looking at the controlled bugs, he knew that if he waited for the earth reinforcements to come, it might take a while, and he might miss the opportunity.

With so many fish slipping through the net around here, there must be a lot of bugs elsewhere.

If these bugs can be subdued as soon as possible, and then all of them are brought back to the Sirius galaxy, I am afraid that apart from the legendary ancestor Zerg Emperor, there is basically no need to fear other Zerg races.

"Hao Qi, I have an urgent task for you."

"What mission?"

"Let's take the others with us and board the Qingfu together."
