I Am the Swarm

Chapter 123 Worker Bees

At present, five eggs of the queen have been produced, and they will go through a long development period before they can start their duties.

The main reason for this situation turned out to be because of Rowan.

Whether it is the former queen or the current queen, they all come from the mother nest, and only the mother nest can produce these special units with the ability to hatch.

Although the brood is separated from Rowan, they still have a certain connection. Therefore, limited by Rowan's body size of 60 centimeters, when the brood grows to less than 70 centimeters, it has reached its limit.

As a result, the newly born queen eggs are only more than ten centimeters in size. If you want such a large egg to grow to a size of more than ten meters, you will know that it will take a long time.

Luo Wen is also a little troubled, should he be made to give up the "Assassin" profession that he has already perfected?

If you want to "train your account" again, you must choose a large template. Currently, the swarm had limited access to large creatures, so he definitely couldn't choose one that was too ugly.

With Liang Long's deformity of head and tail, it is definitely not good to move slowly. The image of the Tyrannosaurus rex is mighty and domineering just by looking at its head, but it's a pity that the appearance of the pair of short hands is really touching.

The black-ringed red dragon that fought against the tyrannosaurus rex was okay, but it was only a land unit. Luo Wen's current body has been improved many times in actual combat, and it can fight in all directions by sea, land, air, and underground, which is equivalent to the "four-living" arms. Adaptability and life-saving ability are extremely strong.

In order to increase the size of the brood, it is too uneconomical to cut off most of his combat power.

There are also pterosaurs, although it has always been Rowan's dream to soar into the blue sky. But there is still the same problem. The pterosaur is an air force. Although it can also move on the ground, it is considered "one and a half" to survive, and its ability to survive is far less than that of Luo Wen.

Moreover, after harvesting the pterosaur gene in the future, he will directly create a pterosaur. Then switch the perspective, take over the body, and still realize the dream of soaring in the blue sky. There is no need to give yourself a pterosaur body.

Luo Wen, who thinks too much, doesn't have a good solution for the time being. In the end, he simply wanted to make his current body gigantic. Although he needs to molt constantly, fortunately, he can pupate to avoid the risk of molting, but it is very troublesome.

Fortunately, the plan to increase the size of the brood is not imminent. Because except for the production unit of the queen, all other Zerg units, the existing queen and the future queen can produce.

The eggs of the initial queens are smaller and only prolong the development period. The swarm has plenty of time now, it just needs to suspend the pace of expansion, wait for more than a hundred days, the queen is in place, and then continue to advance.

So, within two days, Luo Wen put this matter behind him and refocused his energy on tinkering with plant seeds.

The swarm slowed down its expansion and began to consolidate its existing territory.

Luo Wen took the time to improve the worker ants, replacing their exoskeletons with cuticles, and their body size expanded to about ten centimeters. Although they lack the support of the exoskeleton, their strength is somewhat weakened, but due to the doubled size, their working ability and efficiency have improved a lot.

In order to distinguish it from the old worker ants, the new worker ants are renamed worker bees. Of course, the old version of worker ants still produce, and they are responsible for doing some more detailed work.

The crops of the swarm have been updated several times after Rowan's continuous research and combined attempts. The new crops have improved yields and have been given genes from parasitic vines that allow them to extract nutrients directly from other plants.

As a result, the weed-ridden environment in the swarm territory has been improved, and many places have been covered with this purple-red spore plant.

However, Rowan still controls their growth and prevents them from damaging the surrounding forests. Whenever they spread towards the trees, this part will be cleaned up by worker bees and worker ants, and transported back to the base for food storage.

Luo Wen has recently found some new ideas, although he can be regarded as a mixture of various biological genes. But he still has some mysterious primitive genes, which hide the core secrets of Ife Ash, which cannot be deciphered at all.

However, it is still possible to use it directly for some experiments. For example, through experiments, he discovered that several of the original gene fragments can actually act as a bridge, building a connection channel between plant genes and animal genes, making them possible to fuse.

The new discovery made Luo Wen more addicted.

Time flies, and the production system of the swarm has gradually been replaced. The new queen started to take over the production of large-scale production and combat units. Except for a few queen ants that continued to produce worker ants, the rest were sent out to establish branches on the tree to produce air force units.

As a result, the number of sub-bases on the swarm base tree reached 21, and the number of flying insect troops also exceeded one million. These are large flying insects with a body length of ten to fifteen centimeters, and most of them are equipped with long-range weapons. At the beginning, wild flying insects could run wild in the forest with the 5,000 melee version.

Now the insect swarm can wipe out most of the forest creatures just relying on the flying insect troops.

During this period of time, the giant python in the forest was in bad luck. There are quite a few of these guys, and there are several types. The long ones are twenty or thirty meters long, and the short ones are more than ten meters long.

They are between the peak power and the peak individual. They are usually coiled on the tree, doing their own thing, and basically have no natural enemies. When they are in estrus, they get together, even though they are above the ground. But at this time, even Tyrannosaurus rex dare not provoke them.

But since the swarm killed a 30-meter-sized giant python and verified the actual combat effectiveness of the anti-python self-demolition worm, these giant pythons lost their deterrence and were added to the swarm recipe.

Whenever the food reserve reaches a certain warning line, the blades will choose a python with a suitable size, fat and thin, to encircle and kill. Although they usually hide well under the cover of tall tree crowns. But there is nothing to hide from the flying insect scouts equipped with an echolocation system.

Each giant python has ten to twenty tons of meat, and if one is not slaughtered, the food reserves of the insect swarm will be greatly replenished. The group of giant pythons with low IQ didn't feel the slightest danger, and they didn't even know that they had become livestock raised by the swarm.

After a period of steady development, the swarm showed its fangs again. Soon after, the combat troops of the swarm broke into the territory of a nearby Tyrannosaurus rex.

A large group of flying insect type I scouts scattered like flowers, scattered separately, using the echolocation system, quickly drew a sound wave map, and uploaded it to the insect swarm network.

In the territory of Tyrannosaurus rex, all kinds of hidden creatures appeared in front of Luo Wen.

The combat troops ignored these miscellaneous fish, they were all prepared food for living in the Tyrannosaurus rex territory. As long as the masters here are eliminated, they will automatically change their identities and become the food storage for the insect swarm.
