Zerg in the crystal wall world

Chapter 26 The King Insect Takes Off

The hatchery's efficiency indeed lived up to the master's expectations.

Worker bees, which are close to three-foot-long in size, have a work efficiency equivalent to that of a powerful shield machine. The production time only takes seventeen hours.

This does not include the increase in the reaction of the strange tree's green power on living things. Counting this, the production time of the worker bees is directly reduced to less than ten hours, almost half.

It’s just a pity that the more powerful the monster tree, the wider the scope of its “exclusiveness”. Whether it is the rock-skin monster forest or the goblin forest, no new ones have appeared after solving the wave of root and vine monsters caused by the rapid expansion of the fungi. Strange tree.

However, compared to the production time, its simultaneous production quantity is not so impressive. Perhaps because the hatchery has just been born, it can only hatch more than 800 worker bees at the same time.

This means that even in one month, the hatchery can only breed... more than 50,000 worker bees.

Naturally, this amount cannot satisfy the master. However, as the worker bees continue to dig into the space below the hatchery, the various glands and organs in the hatchery will proliferate and expand. According to the information obtained by the master from the will of the swarm, an unmodified and technologically blessed hatchery without any evolutionary cavity, with its organs stretched to the limit, can hatch more than 30,000 worker bees at one time.

Of course, the master did not devote all the hatchery's productivity to the production of worker bees.

The Overlord also hatched two king insects to separate himself and Agatha from some overly simple command tasks such as vigilance and patrolling.

Finally, I no longer have to deal with those mentally retarded people...

Because most animals will have their central nervous system injured when infected by the zerg virus, and most of the infected animals are idiots, it is no problem for them to subconsciously attack and bite. Some other tasks, such as digging tunnels, carrying objects, Fixed patrol.

The Overlord and Agatha need to direct them bit by bit until these mechanical and repetitive actions are engraved into the instincts of the Zerg under the mechanism of rapid evolution - if the hatchery was not established soon, the Overlord would have thought of it. Build a goblin lair and mass-produce infected goblins as laborers. After all, they have large brains and can understand some complex instructions.

King insects are different from worker bees. Because of their huge size, it takes two days to hatch a king insect, and the resources required are enough to produce more than five hundred worker bees. Fortunately, because the incubation chamber inside the hatchery already has a certain amount of space redundancy, the space requirements of the king worm are not that exaggerated. The two king worms only occupy the share of the 300 worker bees in the hatchery.

In addition, some of the remaining production of the hatchery is divided among the predators and darts in the nest.

It would take some work to modify the nest building to resemble a standard zerg building that only produces the messenger proteins and corresponding hormones that induce gene expression in the larvae.

Now only fertilized eggs are produced from bird nests, and then the eggs are transported to the hatchery by the rodent infectants that previously dug holes. It is not even sent into the incubation chamber inside the hatchery, but is just thrown on the fungus blanket outside the hatchery. The tissue extending from the hatchery wraps, transports nutrients and regulates hormones, thus increasing its hatching speed by nearly ten times.

Now the master is considering phasing out the bait birds.

After all, the dart gulls can basically do everything that predatory birds can do, even if small birds are occasionally needed, that is, it is a matter of producing a batch of juvenile darts. Biological miniaturization is much simpler than enlargement.

……

On the night of the third day after the hatchery was established, the master holding a larvae with three legs long and five short legs suddenly opened his eyes on the throne. In the incubation chamber, two cocoons belonging to the king insect burst open.

The Juggernaut turned to look at the hatchery.

At this time, the hatchery was slowly "opening" driven by the huge muscles around it.

The central cavity opens, the sharp teeth of the top ring retract outwards, and the ring muscles relax... Visible to the naked eye, a round thing stretches out the thinnest part of the top of the hatchery, moving outward from the cavity of the hatchery. discharge.

With a slight "Boom~", a huge creature with a diameter of nearly twenty meters and air sacs all over its body, like a hot air balloon, slowly floated into the air.

The Lord looked up at the terrifying beast covered in carapace. He only knew that the king insect was huge, but he never thought that it could be so big - the master himself was not as big as the small tentacles next to the mouthparts of the king insect.

No wonder the insect swarm uses the king insect as a transport boat.

With such a large body, not to mention the evolution of abdominal pouches specially designed to carry insect swarm units, just using its huge limbs to grab a larger carapace can carry hundreds of insect units flying into the air.

The Lord used his nether energy to lift up the larvae and put it aside, with a red light flashing in his eyes.

When I came back to my senses, the perspective had switched to high altitude. His consciousness entered the body of the king insect.

The spectrum that the king insect's eyes can see is much larger than that of humans, everything around it looks weird, and the angle that its eight eyes can cover is wider than that of humans. It's just because the head of the king insect grows diagonally below the body. If the appendages are thrown away, the king insect looks like an elongated and widened Q. In addition, there is almost no neck and the head is surrounded by thick carapace. His left and right vision was blocked by his "shoulder", and he couldn't look up at the sky.

Fortunately, the eyes are not the only sensory organ of the king insect. The appendages hanging on its lower abdomen can sense the surrounding spatial information by releasing pulses intermittently. The king insect is also usually responsible for navigating the insect swarm.

At this time, the master can use this perception to directly go all the way down from the cavity exit at the top of the hatchery to detect the birth of another king insect.

While the ruler was experiencing the world under the senses of the king insect with great interest, the body of the king insect was also changing.

It quickly recovered from its newborn state, the large carapace began to gradually harden, and the bony spikes originally buried under the bast began to protrude from the body surface, and most importantly, it began to protrude from the body surface. Powerful nether energy began to reverberate in its brain and nerve nodes throughout its body.

Because of its huge size, even without the blessing of any evolutionary cavity technology, the king insect's psionic energy level is still at level seven.

It's just not aggressive at all...

Of course, this is the characteristic of the Zerg's psionic energy. Even if Agatha's nerve cord is not damaged, her psionic energy is not offensive.

After all, the essence of psionic energy is void energy pulled into reality by the will of living organisms. Void energy itself has the property of annihilation. The closer the psionic energy is to the essence of void, the more violent and difficult to control it.

However, the psionic energy of the zerg is refined, filtered and distributed to various psionic units through the will of the worm's nest. The violent part of it is blocked by the will of the worm's nest, so the psionic energy of the zerg is naturally gentle.

But in contrast, as the incarnation of the Hive Will, the Zerg Nether Energy is particularly powerful and violent in the hands of the Overlord...
