I Am the Swarm

Rowan was lost in thought.

Just on this beach, without eating or drinking, I stayed for three full days. With the reserves in the tail fat organ, let alone three days, he can stay for a full three months without eating.

As for the wet seaside, arthritis, etc., Rowan can change his feet at any time. Does he still care about arthritis?

During these three days, he only thought about one question. Although there are no apples on this planet, there are similar fruits. The question he was thinking about was, what could he think of when the fruit fell from the tree to the ground.

As a result, he thought of many things, but they were all miscellaneous things. As for gravity, he'd heard that, but he couldn't think of anything theoretical.

Facts have proved that if he wants to develop a rocket by himself, it is better to spend time, work hard, and rely on talent to evolve it.

Looking at his gene pool, for entering outer space, the wings only have a role in the atmosphere, and there is no gas in outer space, so the role of the wings is reduced to negligible.

Perhaps, at that time, the wings will not be as effective as the high-pressure jet system.

In fact, the most reliable thing about this matter is undoubtedly the anti-gravity system of the beetle's elytra. But the current role of this system is only to reduce weight. However, on this basis, if we continue to develop, we may achieve something.

But going to outer space is more than just flying out.

How does he draw energy in outer space? how to breathe How to survive in ultra-low temperature environment? How to move in the universe, is it really flying by jet? He doesn't want to be a piece of floating space junk.

There are too many things to consider, as long as one of them is not handled well, it may threaten his life.

After a few more days, Rowan suddenly thought that he might be able to create some helpers.

As the saying goes, three cobblers are worth Zhuge Liang.

He could make more blades, maybe brainstorm.

Months later, it turned out that Rowan was overthinking it. The blades didn't have any creativity, but after a while of his tinkering, their ability to learn and adapt to changes has been strengthened a lot.

Blades are generally closer to intelligent AI, and the more they are exposed to and learn, the higher their "intelligence". And these can be passed on through the swarm network.

So, as time accumulates, they will become more and more "smart".

However, intelligence is not equal to wisdom, and lack of creativity is their biggest flaw. They can be commanders, and they can do it pretty well, but they can't be scientists.

Thoughts stalled again.

After a while, Rowan suddenly thought that since the swarm was not good enough, he could develop other races, and other races did not have such restrictions.

With a new idea, Rowan took action immediately, and he began to look for groups suitable for cultivation.

Based on the characteristics of strong adaptability, relatively intelligent, and strong fertility, after many screenings, the last two creatures stand out.

Rowan is very familiar with the two creatures, they are old friends of the swarm, and they were the first race to come into contact with in the early days. They are fat rats and small dinosaurs.

Fat tail rats have strong reproductive ability, and can give birth to 5-10 cubs in one litter. The cubs can look for food by themselves in only ten days after birth. Omnivorous, eats everything and is at the bottom of the food chain. After all, even if insects such as ants are weaker, they still contain less meat. Therefore, in a comprehensive comparison, fat tail rats with a lot of meat and poor strength have become the favorite food of hunters.

But with their unique energy storage organs, fat tail rats have a strong ability to survive. When being hunted down, sometimes they can even hide for more than ten days in a row without moving, and drive away the hunter. And compared to other races, they are also smarter.

Although small dinosaurs were hunters, they were also prey due to their size. The position of the food chain is only a little higher than that of the fat tail mouse. They can lay seven or eight eggs at a time. Although the hatching time of the eggs is longer, the larvae can forage for food on their own shortly after breaking the eggshell.

As for IQ, judging from their collective cooperation and some simple tactics, they are also very smart.

Two groups of subjects were selected, and the next step was to cultivate them.

Rowan called up their genetic templates first, and then enlarged their brain volumes. Luo Wen, who has watched a short video on the evolution of human beings, knows that a long brain will have a future.

Next, Rowan started some showy operations.

He captured some wild fat rats and small dinosaurs, and then locked them together with the experimental subjects to conduct some breeding experiments.

Although the fat rats and small dinosaurs produced by the swarm are not intelligent, but their offspring born with their wild counterparts should have a certain chance of inheriting their enhanced brains.

This can shorten the evolution process of their brains very quickly, allowing them to give birth to more intelligent offspring faster.

But things didn't go well. They were kept together for a long time without any offspring being born.

Luo Wen is also a little confused about this, after all, he is not a professional, and has no research on this kind of thing. Could it be that the fat rats and small dinosaurs produced by the swarm have changed the race?

But apart from his brain, Rowan didn't modify their templates anywhere. You must know that other genes that have been added are sterile.

Luo Wen didn't believe in evil, he didn't give up, anyway, he had nothing else to do, just doing some research to pass the time.

As time passed, the experimental site he circled had expanded several times compared to the original one, and it was divided into many compartments, with various combinations closed.

There are flying insect troops patrolling the experimental site, and there are also spiders and war insects watching around. Even underground, there are worker ants and creeps. Moreover, half of the experimental subjects are products of the swarm. Therefore, the laboratory is in good order, and there has never been such a thing as a subject escaping.

After rounds of continuous testing, a few months later, the hard work paid off, and a wild fat tail mouse was successfully pregnant.

One month later, a litter of five fat-tailed mice was born successfully.

With experience, Luo Wen immediately conducted several experiments based on the data of this group of experimental subjects, and all of them successfully gave birth to offspring. From this, he found the crux of the previous problem.

It turned out that he was still eager for quick success. If you want to do it in one step, you can expand the brain volume of the fat tail mouse too much at one time. As a result, they are reproductively isolated from their wild counterparts, so they have never produced offspring.

It wasn't until later that he increased the scale of the experiment, divided the experimental subjects into many groups, and modified the brains with different volumes, which made progress.

According to this successful case, Luo Wen then made some data fine-tuning, and gradually found the maximum number of changes at a time, so as not to trigger reproductive isolation.

Subsequently, the experimental process began to accelerate.
