Chapter 376 Infiltration

During the previous imprisonment, more than a hundred humans gave birth to more than 3,000 eggs with gold patterns on a silver background at the cost of their own lives;

After all, this is the source of excellent employees and huge wealth. The person in charge of the base and the other leaders of the forces have attached great importance to it and strive to ensure that the entire training process is foolproof;

Therefore, the eggs were placed in 30 bases with independent security systems, and slowly grew under high-level protection measures with abundant material supplies.

Strictly speaking, humans do not know the specific time when such eggs break out of their shells. This information does not actually exist in the known memories. In the past, they almost never used this 'full copy' method to reproduce.

, because in addition to reducing the life span and genetic stability of the egg breeder, it will hardly bring any substantial benefits;

Even though there may be other forces that have done this, the previous batch of prisoners had not performed relevant tasks, and had never been exposed to any information about ‘highly imitated natural cultured eggs’;

As a result, this base, which relies heavily on human memory for relevant information, does not actually know the specific time when these eggs hatched, so they can only rely on some indirect methods to make speculations.

The egg shell is very protective and anti-see-through, so base researchers can only see the shadow image inside it during non-destructive observation, and can only barely distinguish the existing scale of the molded tissue, and based on this

make certain indirect inferences;

At the same time, there are some extremely small holes that can be opened and closed on the egg shell, which will actively absorb external nutrients when the material is full, providing a more abundant supply of resources for the embryo inside;

The base also used this characteristic to infiltrate the nano insect sea into it, and completed a short observation before the insect sea was destroyed by the digestive juice inside;

Under this method of observation, they found out that humans also continued the "destroy if touched" characteristic in the embryonic stage, and stopped their reckless behavior out of distress after several eggs exploded on the spot.

This is of course just a deliberately created illusion, because the relatively long distance between the two parties requires a certain degree of flexibility in the execution of the penetration plan at the beginning, and the uncertain egg incubation time can provide a more flexible buffer at this time.

;

But on the other hand, considering that leaving this force in a state of complete confusion and blindness is likely to make the management impatient due to uncertainty, and will tangibly and intangibly transmit the pressure to department heads and front-line researchers.

, causing them to pay more frequent and intense attention to and explore the situation inside the egg, and incur unnecessary exposure risks for early lurkers.

Therefore, when the eggs were originally designed, certain channels were specifically left open so that base researchers could observe the degree of tissue proliferation within the eggs in a specific way, and based on this, they could conclude the growth curve and infer the rupture of the eggs.

time.

For now, their valuation is about 20 years if converted to the parent ephemeris. This number is given by Nesta based on '15 years of expected arrival time + 5 years of insurance reservation time', and is

An uncertain value that will be adjusted according to actual conditions;

For example, if the fleet cannot arrive as expected due to an accident, the reserved insurance time will not be reduced. If five years are not enough to remedy the situation, the delay will continue.

For another example, during this period, the jump technology breaks through the existing bottleneck, or the jump technology owned by the base is cracked, and the shell breaking time will be shortened in an orderly manner according to a certain pattern;

Even further, if the lurkers complete the analysis of the base wormhole during this period to the extent that it can be applied, then the main reference for the egg breaking time will give way to other factors, such as molecules, from distance.

The number and total tonnage of level controllers, etc.

All in all, if the eggs are cultivated without progress or accidents, they will break out of their shells after 15-20 years. This span is actually a long time for "weapon cultivation";

Moreover, not only the material consumption during the entire process should not be underestimated, but what is obtained after breaking out of the shell are some larvae that cannot form immediate combat power. Whether it is cultivated as a commodity or as a combat power, it does not seem to be cost-effective.

But in the understanding of the base's senior officials, what they are cultivating at this time is the so-called Primarch, which should have a longer gestation period, and this time span is not an exaggeration in the large river system, and can even be hundreds.

Races that take ten years to be born are not uncommon in the river system, and are even generally more powerful;

Therefore, you get what you pay for, and the time and material consumption you spend now also represent a certain potential, and will be converted into tangible benefits for the group in the future. The relevant senior officials inside and outside the base have great expectations for this.

As for the currently tentative 20 years, the lurkers headed by Nesta do not intend to waste it. Self-growth and saving one's own resources are certainly important and enjoyable, but in this regard

Even various explorations in the outer realm also need to be carried out steadily during this period.

In the early plan, Nesta, who does not have inner vision, will be responsible for macro-level intelligence collection, such as network monitoring, base exploration, and even looking for opportunities to go to the other side of the wormhole, etc., thus providing the Republic with the initial big river.

Department overview awareness;

Molecular-level controllers who are still in a state of deep integration need to focus more on technical analysis and disturbance analysis, and strive to find out the technologies such as wormholes and jump engines as soon as possible, so that the Republic's voyage technology can be further developed.

Take a big step forward;

To be dispersed to the cell level in all eggs and accept the protection of the molecular level controllers, you need to stop all internal and external intelligence, scientific research and other tasks, concentrate on practicing while maintaining the disguise of the embryo in the egg, and strive to break through to the molecular level as soon as possible.

Seeking to escape from the embarrassing situation that is now equal to a burden;

At that time, not only will they themselves have more room for choice between advancement and retreat, but the existing molecular level will no longer need to allocate energy and material components to act as a firewall for their cellular structure, thus leaving more space for thinking and

Material resources enhance overall execution capabilities.

The previous shaping of human values ​​allowed the egg body to obtain a more abundant supply of resources, but it also caused the base to pay too much attention to the egg fetus, and therefore deployed strict defensive measures;

So after simply assigning tasks for the next ten years or so, Nesta asked the other spellcasters to remain in a latent state and continue to stand by, while he prepared to act as a pioneer and find a way to extend his tentacles out of the egg-breeding chamber.

system.

Although this kind of defense is generally not external but not internal, and its purpose is only to protect the egg body, it has also become an obstacle to the actions of the lurkers at this moment, affecting the progress of the investigation plan from another level.

The anomaly detection program here is too sensitive, and the entire building structure is under strict surveillance by the central control system. Even the molecular liquid state cannot be directly separated out by the 'penetration method', and there are no employees in the 30 cabins to carry out on-site operations. Almost

All transactions are completed remotely and in a contactless manner.

Before she had time to regret why she was so cautious and didn't leave part of her body material in the outside world in advance, Nesta had already thought of the loopholes, which were the input channels for the culture fluid;

This was almost the only way to communicate with the inside and outside at the moment, so it naturally became the first choice for the vanguard to march, and he immediately started his next move.

The monitoring capability of the central control system is very strong. Nesta cannot directly penetrate the complete cells, so it can only try in small quantities and multiple times in the form of molecular liquid;

However, there is a scale limit to how the clone can carry the 'ability'. Its aggregate size must reach a certain level before it can form an effective carrier, which will then allow the 'ability' to have a material basis for being used in the real world, just as it was originally said.

Demonstrated 'minimum material quality of caster's clone';

Although it is not necessary to obtain complete spellcasting ability this time, if you want to break out of the blockade, you must have some minimum movement and energy absorption abilities, and if you want to be able to complete more things after breaking out of the blockade,

Things, then naturally require a correspondingly larger volume, even to the extent that it can be aggregated into a complete cell group to feel at ease;

However, under the heavy internal and external surveillance of the base system, the molecular weight that Nesta can release each time is actually not that much, so it can only increase the amount bit by bit, like ants moving.

In addition to this, there is actually another factor that is particularly important at this time, and that is the issue of 'energy'.

Whether it is the energy provided by the decay of super heavy elements or the energy provided by light induction, it is actually a manifestation of the overall ability of the elf body, and 'a complete cell' is the minimum limit for its effectiveness;

Further down, the corresponding parts will lose this function due to the lack of structure. Therefore, the low-molecular polymerization state cannot be maintained for a long time after leaving the body. It can only be given the functionality of the inscription technique after the degree of polymerization reaches a certain scale.

Form a clone that can exist stably;

On the contrary, although the self at the molecular level will still be maintained, it will show super "reaction inertness" due to the existence of this factor, and its stability will be much higher than that of natural molecules;

But in the same way, this will be a clone that cannot move or think. Apart from using the connection at the thinking level to allow the subject to find it and walk over to take it back, it has no other substantive use at present.

The above are also the reasons why it appears in the world in the form of 'molecular liquid' rather than 'molecule'. For the caster, only the former has formation value, while the latter will only invalidate the dispersion of body matter;

Depending on the specific additional capabilities required, the volume requirements for ‘molecular liquid’ are not fixed.

When used to convert absorbing substances, there are not many high-molecular polymers of up to one million tons. It only requires that the molecular weight of tens or tens of units can be "moved". It all depends on the actual demand.

;

What is currently used by Nesta to jailbreak are those that are close to the lower limit of exploration of the central control system, and are equipped with the capabilities of energy storage, action, active aggregation, and active separation in advance. They are somewhat similar to those from previous lives in terms of appearance.

Viruses, but molecular reptiles that are several orders of magnitude smaller than the former

In the microscopic world, there is a group of extremely tiny reptiles that adhere to the wall of the tube and move upstream against the ocean current when the nutrient solution is being transported. Every step forward is a process of breaking bonds and forming bonds. Behind them, the tentacles with active atoms as the tip will also

Reach into the pipe ocean current to capture high-energy molecules to form bonds;

In the process of forming and breaking bonds again and again, they maintain their own rhythm at a certain vibrating frequency. This is not only the main process that allows the perturbation of inscription techniques to take effect, but also the primary reason for their maintenance of functionality.

The amount of aggregation under surveillance makes the functionality of a single insect quite limited, so the speed of the sea of ​​insects is not very fast. It can even be said that it is a bit exaggeratedly slow, but no matter how slow it is, there will always be an end, so they still get through it.

After passing the most tightly guarded egg-breeding cabin area, we arrived at the relatively loose supply and replenishment room;

So far, the insect sea has not continued to act. They combine with each other to form a transparent thin layer on the inner wall of the pipe, and continue to follow the pre-set functional program to continuously capture the required ingredients when the culture medium is input;

As for why there are these ingredients, you have to ask the base that prepares the nutrient solution strictly according to the formula shown in human memory. There are some private products in it, so there is no need to make too much fuss about it.

As time went by, batch after batch of reptilian seas originating from Nesta arrived at their respective end points simultaneously, and gradually accumulated layers of covering layers in the pipes, gathering enough bodies on the plane.

The amount is finally able to support a minimum thread of thinking and has on-site processing capabilities;

Therefore, although the projected thinking thread was as inefficient as a small water pipe connecting a super large reservoir, it gradually accumulated a set of molecular-level inscription factories, preparing to combine the latecomers into a more functional one.

'Big Reptiles', and let them use this as a starting point to start the next stage of their adventure.

Afterwards, the modified 'big reptiles' continued to move forward one by one, and successively established new inscription factories further away, continuing to follow the prevention level of each location just like what they themselves had experienced.

Continuously transform the route crawler;

In this way, although the reptiles are becoming more and more sparse, the magnitude and functionality of the individuals within them are becoming more and more powerful. After breaking through the most heavily guarded place in the entire system, they immediately sit on the ground and start to take root.

Penetration from the outside.

~~~~~~~

In the base, there is an observation office not too far away from an egg-breeding cabin. There are many creatures of various shapes busy inside;

I don't know when an undetectable light mist rose up out of nowhere. Employees walking around the base either inhaled it into their mouths and noses without knowing it, or it was attached and penetrated into the skin;

Time passed little by little, and in the reincarnation from hour to day, several employees finally deposited enough intrusions in their bodies, and began to aggregate with each other in their body fluids to form a larger body;

Then, some of these newly formed particles began to sneak into the basic biological structure of the host to analyze the operating mode and genetic information, while others flowed along the blood or other liquids toward the brain or other centers.

These are naturally Nesta's molecular intrusions. Although the base is under surveillance at the thinking level and cannot control its consciousness, it still has the ability to penetrate into the body, intercept and analyze its sensory information, and understand its body structure.

And like a parasite, it can also obtain the energy nutrients needed to maintain functionality from the target's body.
