Deep Space Fleet

"Inciting a bug swarm?"

Zhang Yuan saw a video of these big bees flapping their wings and driving out swarms of bugs from the forest, letting these swarms attack the Laenino instead. But they don't fight on their own, because no matter how powerful the insects are, they can't beat the guns, and at most they will cause a little loss to the Laenino people.

"The Laenino civilization already knew the existence of this suspected intelligent species, so it defined them as a dangerous species. However, because of the output of shellac, they were not completely eliminated."

"Interesting, I can't beat myself, but I still use the strategy of driving tigers and devouring wolves?"

An expert nearby said with interest, "It's just a pity that without any technology, it is impossible to beat steel with physical strength alone."

Lao Yang continued: "This kind of intelligence is manifested in every aspect of life. The competition for survival on this planet is extremely fierce. The lifespan of many bugs is only a few days, and there are many powerful predators, the kind of big beetles with hundreds of kilograms, Just like a small tank, it can easily defeat the tigers and lions on our planet..."

"However, some individuals of this alien bee live very long, ten or even twenty years! It is precisely because they live long enough and can accumulate social experience that they can survive on this planet smoothly, and they can also defeat enemies who are stronger than themselves. powerful species."

Zhang Yuan looked at the detailed information of this species. If it is said to be intelligent, it must be a little bit, but it is only limited to the level of monkeys on earth, or a little higher. It is not a very intelligent species...

"Species B, alien ants, that is, this group of ant-like insects in the soil, are even smarter! In this insect world, it is very rare for them to be able to hide in the soil and live leisurely. one thing……"

"The division of labor of these ants is more clear. There are more than a hundred different classifications. Some are responsible for making food, some are responsible for fighting, and some are responsible for management. We also discovered the pheromone language belonging to these insects... Oh, yes , and a simple language that relies on the vibration of wings to convey information."

"What's even more strange is that this species has shown a lot of curiosity. They have captured some of our detectors and conducted research every day."

It can be seen from the video that the group of ants discovered the detector disguised as a stone, and after finding something strange, they brought it back to their nest. So, every day, a few white and fat big bugs came to try to figure out what this thing was, and even fiddled with this thing that glowed from time to time.

They quickly mastered the trick. Press a button, the light of the detector will turn on, and press the light again to turn off the light. It is a great fun to play.

These big white bugs don't seem to have any fighting power, and their athletic ability is not high. They should be mainly responsible for nest management.

That is to say, they are intelligent, even more intelligent than bee populations.

"Scientists generally believe that this species may have evolved intelligence similar to ancient hominids, and they communicate through pheromones. If we simulate pheromones, they will have the possibility of communication. They also have the concept of mathematics, each In the nursery nest, 178 eggs are placed, no more and no less, this number can maximize the use of the area without appearing crowded."

"Equivalent, what is the specific potential, it is still under evaluation..."

Li Zhendong suddenly seemed to think of something, and he had a whim: "Looking at it this way, we can catch some native insects and study them? Anyway, the Kyushu is still very empty, and it would be good to dig a basement to raise some intelligent insects. Don't we have a group of insects?" Specialists in the study of insects, are there to complain of idleness?"

"This... seems to be quite possible."

Now the Laenino people are not willing to join the alliance, but two more primitive insect species popped up, and they all have a hive thinking mode... If these insects really have enough potential, can communicate normally, and are willing to be positive, let them It is not impossible to join the alliance, it is easier to educate primitive species.

Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment, having a wonderful illusion of missing the mulberry elm harvested by Dongyu.

Human beings don't know much about the hive thinking mode, and they can only think it is a kind of collective wisdom for the time being. People are still in a state of ignorance about how to educate it.

The so-called "collective intelligence" cannot evenly distribute wisdom to every individual. After all, there will be some special individuals responsible for group thinking. If you use a professional term, you can call it the "king worm", that is, the king worm civilization.

This type of civilization is based on the king worm. Only the king worm has self-awareness, and other individuals have low or no intelligence. The king worm can dominate the fate of most individuals in the group.

The division of labor between individuals in this civilization is clear, the purpose is unified, and the efficiency is extremely high. The disadvantage is that self-reform is more difficult. Most individuals are only executors without high thinking ability, and there may also be resource consumption problems.

The well-known amoeba faction seems to use this model.

Zhang Yuan smiled wryly and said: "If there are scientists who are willing to study, then catch some bugs... Anyway, our Unreal Lab really doesn't have the energy to do this. We need to help hemispheres clone ancestors, and we also need to study thinking acceleration. These two tasks are already very heavy."

Perhaps, if you encounter spaceships from the amoeba faction, you can also sell bugs to them. Hey, I don't know if they lack clansmen. "

In this way, after the party this time, Zhang Yuan returned to his intense work state.

...

Two years passed in a hurry, and the maintenance and reorganization of the fleet was about to come to an end. The trade between humans and the Laenino people is also coming to an end, and the number of indigenous people purchased is enough for scientific research.

On this day, both parties bid farewell very amicably.

"Dear Lainino Civilization, I am honored to inform you that our fleet has completed its maintenance and is about to leave. Thank you for your careful care during this period of time."

For the upper echelons of Laenino civilization, their mentality is both contradictory and joyful.

After all, no one wants a civilization that is much stronger than themselves to stay nearby all the time. As long as this alliance stays here, their psychological pressure will be enormous.

Now this new human civilization is finally about to leave... The big stone in my heart was put down all of a sudden.

"May your civilization progress forever!" Humans said.

"And may your civilization progress forever."

This was standard interstellar etiquette that the Laenino had just learned. It is very simple to say this sentence, but they don't feel deeply about this sentence, and what they understand is only superficial.

Without witnessing the true appearance of the Milky Way, nor having enough experience to traverse various civilizations, it is naturally difficult to know the profound connotation expressed by the Gaia civilization when it formulated this set of etiquette.

All the human diplomats nodded and returned to their spaceships without saying anything.

This Titan-class spacecraft is filled with all kinds of insects, as well as two induced intelligent species, plus the hibernating native population, these harvests are enough for everyone to be busy for a while.

This time, the survey of indigenous civilizations has officially come to an end.
