I Am the Swarm

A fall from this height is not fatal to a leopard, but Rowan's venom is.

After the leopard landed, it tried hard to get up and escape, but the pain at the back of its neck gradually escalated, its muscle tissue was dissolved, its nervous system was damaged, and its body gradually lost control. It could only lie powerlessly on its side, howling.

In order to avoid attracting other competitors, Rowan didn't let it hurt for too long, and swooped down from the air, stretching out its claws, making the leopard shut its mouth forever.

After much effort and a long time, Luo Wen finally sent a leopard and a bird to Dulitun to love and kill each other.

Rowan, who was full, temporarily lost his mind to watch the excitement, so the rest of the journey went smoothly, and he returned to the base smoothly.

In the base, the number of adults has exceeded one million. But there are close to 10 million eggs, larvae and the like.

This is because the second batch of fifty Type III queens matured late, and the first batch of worms they produced were not yet mature, and it would take a few more days.

However, the main purpose of Rowan's return this time is not them, but these type III queen ants. Although they are not type I queens who specialize in command, their IQ is still higher than other bugs, which can help test other functions of the bug swarm network.

Since the establishment of the swarm network, Rowan found that the IQ of the bugs has increased a lot, especially the queen.

It may be because the communication in the swarm network is more similar to the communication of ideas. Things that they didn't understand before, now they can understand things with a little understanding.

Maybe this is something that can only be understood but cannot be explained in words.

The mental space in Rowan's mind has increased by hundreds to thousands of times compared to the previous period.

Suddenly, one of the nodes became bright and flashed. Luo Wen's heart moved, he connected to this node, and then his consciousness descended, and he scanned left and right, and it was indeed the perspective of the ant queen tested earlier.

Afterwards, Rowan went through several tests and replaced several ant queens without any errors, and the accuracy rate of the node call was 100%.

The Bug Swarm Network is indeed worthy of the name of the interactive system, which is almost the same as a videophone except that the ringtone cannot be set.

At the same time, he also discovered another important piece of information. Ant queens do not naturally gain command over other insects now.

Since these Type III Queen Ants are mainly responsible for production, and the number of bugs is too small, and there is only one base, most things are basically directed by Luo Wen himself and give orders.

So this message has never been found. If it was a type I queen ant, she might have already noticed something was wrong.

But this does not mean that the queens can no longer command the bugs, but that they need Rowan's "authorization".

Rowan can set various levels in the swarm network, and each level can obtain part of the authority of the swarm network.

In an area, bugs with high-level permissions can command all bugs with lower levels. Moreover, it can also directly issue orders through the swarm network.

This is much more efficient and quicker than the previous ant queens who used pheromones to convey commands. Moreover, this is also a unique identification friend or foe system.

Rowan guessed that this was an upgraded version of the brood's friend-or-foe identification system. This means that no other creature can fish in the troubled waters of the swarm in the future.

However, Rowan does not intend to abandon other IFF systems. After all, the swarm network also needs some external cover.

Maybe in the future, when some guys who feel good about themselves will use those obvious friend-or-foe identification systems to sneak into the swarm and be complacent. As everyone knows, the bugs around him have already distinguished him clearly. Thinking about that scene, it must be very funny.

Although, now it seems that Luo Wen's thinking about this is a bit of a battle of wits with the air. But who knows what will happen in the future? After all, lifespan is no longer the shackles of Luo Wen, and the days to come will be long.

All the type III ant queens have been granted low-level permissions, which are only one level higher than ordinary bugs. Although the hierarchical system of the swarm network can help Rowan build a more effective management system. However, this function is a bit too advanced for the current swarm.

The current Ant Queen is just a product coming off the assembly line, closer to intelligent AI, without its own subjective consciousness, so it is enough to set only one level for the time being.

In this way, the setting returns to the familiar command system of the bug swarm, but it is just that the bugs are equipped with "phones".

At the same time, taking advantage of the fact that there are not too many war bugs in the bug swarm, the army configuration of the bug swarm should be carefully considered.

In the past, everyone was a two-dimensional soldier, and they were all small. A soldier ant with a body length of 20 to 30 centimeters could be called super giant.

But now the size of the animals is often one meter away, and the big one even has a body length of 30 meters Diplodocus. Soldier ants, which move slowly and have a backward tracking system, are no longer suitable for the development of insect swarms.

If it can develop to the scale before he fell into a deep sleep, it will naturally be pushed all the way. Unless these guys on land can go to the sky, go to the sea, and never return to the shore, otherwise they will all become food.

But when I met enemies at that time, except for the ceiling-level ones like yellow ants, most of the "strong enemies" were big-headed ant nests, and there were millions of them, which was already amazing.

But now the big-headed ant nest is only at the bottom of the food chain. The creatures that Rowan has discovered so far, such as various birds, long-faced beasts, fat-tailed rats and other weak chickens, all have big-headed ants in their recipes.

Therefore, it is more than one level more difficult to control the world purely by ant templates. Moreover, he has already used the ant template to "pass" once, and it is not interesting to play again according to the original routine.

Luo Wen doesn't have any big ambitions now. The perennial lack of communication keeps him alive, and the rest is to find some fun for himself and divert his attention. Just in case there are any mental problems, don't think about it one day and really kill yourself.

Back to the topic, having said so much, to sum up, Rowan needs to update the swarm units to be more suitable for the current environment.

I don't know how long the deep sleep has allowed his ability to grow to a very powerful state. Self-selected gene evolution is only a basic operation. He can not only collect the genes of various insects, but also collect the genes of amphibians, reptiles, and mammals. As long as they do not cause fundamental conflicts, he can combine them arbitrarily.

In addition, he can even include the genes of various plants and fungi. But the genes between animals and plants are not compatible, so he still has no way to fuse them together.

But Rowan can fuse the genes of plants and fungi, and they have strong compatibility.

That is to say, if he is willing to take the time to experiment, he can improve the crops in the ant nest and enhance some of their characteristics.

Like making them more productive and adaptable.

Thank you Shuke good brother for your reward.
