I Am the Swarm

In fact, there is almost no chance of using this function.

Because, in the subsequent test, Rowan discovered that after his consciousness came to a certain bug, he could emit some special fluctuations through its body.

The bugs that received this kind of fluctuation will naturally follow his command, and there is no need to take over their bodies at all.

This means that if there is a war in the future, he does not need to go to the battlefield in person at all, and can stay in the safe rear and conduct remote command.

However, Rowan also found a flaw in the system. That is, these bugs have no names, in his mind space, they are just displayed as nodes.

The number of bugs is rare at present, and there will be no major problems.

But if the bug swarm reappeared at the original trillion scale, thinking about how many nodes are displayed in the mind, it becomes a huge problem to distinguish them.

Then after repeated attempts, Rowan found a way to temporarily solve this defect.

That is, you can group these nodes in your mind, and then you can reconstruct the sand table of the real map in your mind, and then arrange and group the bugs according to their actual positions.

Moreover, Rowan discovered that he doesn't need to click on the nodes in his mind every time to switch the perspective. He can do it, as far as his eyes can see, his consciousness jumps on the bugs within his field of vision at any time.

For example, if he had this system at the beginning and wanted to contact the North Road Army. You can first consciously come to any bug in the army of the North Road, and then keep jumping through hundreds of millions of teams until you find the perspective or bug you want.

Although this is a bit troublesome, since there is no delay in this kind of landing and jumping, it can be regarded as basically solving this problem.

At the same time, since it is an instant messaging system, it should have an interactive function. It shouldn't be that Luo Wen came down unilaterally, the bug should also be able to call Luo Wen on its own initiative.

But now that the bug swarm has just recovered, the number of bugs is too small, and they are all worker ants with low IQ, so they cannot do such complicated operations.

If you want to test whether it has this function, you still have to wait for the type I queen to come out.

This system is extremely powerful, and even more functions have been added in the long-term evolution, far exceeding the scope of the instant messaging system.

Rowan named it the swarm network, which means an invisible net that links the swarms.

Although the swarm network does not have the hard power of increasing the number of swarms, its stealth power has increased by an unknown number of times, raising the overall competitiveness of the swarm by several levels.

What other functions it has, limited to the current situation, cannot be known for the time being, and can only be discovered slowly in the continuous development in the future.

But just what has been shown so far has raised Rowan's pattern to a higher level.

Perhaps, the future of the Swarm should be broader.

In the next few days, in addition to bringing back a few super giants to the lair every day, Luo Wen used the venom to melt some of the long-faced beasts, and made a small fuss for himself.

In addition, it is to sneak attack some passing birds and insects, and beat teeth.

After more than ten days, the chirping of insects and birds seemed to have decreased a lot, and this place became their forbidden zone.

And the long-faced beast has been consumed after such a long time.

Fortunately, in the past few days, the first few batches of bugs have broken out of their pupas one after another.

Under Luo Wen's command, the digger ants dug the hole and the spy ants took cover. It took them half a day to dig a passage connecting the bottom of the big-headed ant's nest.

The reason why a passage can be completed in such a short time is that when Luo Wen was excavating the base, he chose it not far from the big-headed ant nest.

The second point is the role of the bug swarm network, which allows Rowan to command troops in real time, and sometimes even directly take over the bodies of some bugs and perform some micro operations.

Since Rowan grew in size, he never personally commanded the digging. The IQ of digging ants is not good enough to fully understand his meaning, and every job they do has more or less flaws. It wasn't until the appearance of the queen ant that the situation got better, but it still couldn't meet the standard in his heart 100%.

Until now, with the help of the swarm network, he once again went deep into the front line of the excavation site and personally guided the work. He feels that the tunnels dug out are much more rounded.

After digging through the passage of the big-headed ant nest, the digging ants were ordered to retreat, and then a large number of spy ants stepped forward.

The number of these spy ants is probably more than 10,000, and they are divided into several small teams, which sneak into the nest of the big head ant one by one.

When digging just now, Rowan discovered that although these basic arms are not high in IQ, they have a strong ability to learn and imitate. Many things, as long as he demonstrates them in person, they can be imitated almost exactly.

This infiltration operation is a bit complicated. After the spy ants sneak into the nest of the big-headed ants, they need to create a local numerical advantage, and constantly erode the vitality of the big-headed ants.

If it's just spy ants, let them steal some food, or designate a target, let them sneak to assassinate, they will do well with this simple order.

But they may not understand what it means to create a local quantitative advantage.

Now, though, Rowan can teach live.

After entering the ant nest, there is still a familiar spiral structure, with plantations dotted on the passage.

With the entrance of the cave closed and their identity information changed, a large group of swarm soldiers entered the enemy's lair like no one else.

Under Rowan's leadership, they entered a nearby plantation room. Looking around a little, there are about 500 worker ants of different sizes busy here.

Put deceptive pheromones at the door and temporarily block the room. Under Rowan's command, the spy ants approached their own targets.

These guys who specialize in sneaking in and assassinating are all despicable poisoners. In the case of superior numbers, it is really overkill to deal with these unsuspecting worker ants.

It turns out that Rowan was right. The spy ants perfectly completed the task with zero battle damage.

After eliminating the enemy worker ants in the room, some swarm worker ants, escorted by spy bugs, sneaked in and took over the plantation.

The corpses of enemy worker ants and mature fungus crops were transported back to the swarm base for daily needs.

In this way, the insect swarm started from the plantation in a remote corner, and continued to eat away at the underground territory of the big-headed ants.

The ant nest has never encountered such a situation, so the internal defense is very lax.

Even if there are worker ants or soldier ants passing by occasionally, it’s okay if they just pass by, and the spy bugs on the road will even touch their tentacles enthusiastically and exchange pheromones with them.

But if they curiously entered the plantation occupied by the swarm, when it reappeared, it would become food that lost its vital signs and be transported back to the swarm base.

If the current situation is made into a human movie. That is, in the underground base, the colleagues around me are constantly being replaced by unknown creatures, but the base doesn't notice it, and it's horrifying to think about it.
