I Am the Swarm

The transportation capacity of the rocket is too poor. If you want to launch a swarm of bugs into space in this way, the efficiency and cost are simply unimaginable. So his original plan was to send himself to the moon with a rocket, and then re-develop the swarm on the moon.

This plan was decided by Rowan before raising the ratmen and the little dinosaurs. He even planned to put all his eggs in one basket. After the main body reached the moon, he would self-destruct the brood that was still on the origin star. If successful, the Swarm's starting point will be several steps higher.

The moon's gravity is very low, and there is no atmosphere. Using this place as a base, it is much easier to move towards the sea of ​​stars.

Of course, at the beginning, this plan was extremely dangerous. At that time, he was not a "networker", and he hadn't discovered that the brood could also incubate the ontology, and he hadn't discovered the function of forcing offline.

Therefore, it is conceivable that for the very "doggy" Luo Wen, when deciding on this plan, he had to think about it for a long time.

Perhaps it was because of his thinking that affected his talent, or because of luck, the discovery of each of the latter abilities made the risk factor of his plan continue to decrease.

Until the end, even if it fails, there is almost no loss, it just costs some time.

For Luo Wen now, time is the cheapest, as long as he can bear it, thousands of years is just a trivial matter.

It took a while for Rowan's body to replenish the reserve of the tail fat organ at the creep, and then enter the cocooning state to repair the body.

The Huangyue mother nest began to produce adult worker ants. Given the size of the mother nest, the early development of the moon base would be very slow. Luo Wen, who had nothing to do for the time being, returned his consciousness to the origin star.

"Morgan, the moon base has been established." In the command hall of the rocket launch center, some ratmen were still busy. They are all scientific researchers who have unfortunately died due to various reasons over the years. After undergoing a transformation of the Zerg Network, a young body was arranged, and then followed Morgan's path, and re-incorporated into the Imperial Research Institute.

After the explosion of the rocket engine and the fuel tank, the scientific researchers who did not have node status were all sent back by Morgan to write experience summaries. All the "persons of my own" were left behind to help Luo Wen calculate some data.

Although they had no way of observing Rowan's traces, Rowan had traveled with the remnants of the rocket for a long time before. And there are some positioning instruments on the rocket.

Thanks to their data, Rowan can grasp the timing of acceleration and steering. Although there is a little error in these data, the final result is good anyway. The successful login this time, they have contributed a lot.

"Great, Lord Master, the swarm has finally taken this step, and it will become an interstellar race in the future. This makes me, a member of the swarm, very honored." Morgan is indeed the one who once got into the Queen's teacher Man, this flattering skill is perfect. Although he was a little rusty because of his high position and weight when he was old, but now he has a little review, and he is handy again.

"Okay, you all have credit for this time, but everyone is your own person, so let's just give a few words of verbal praise." In fact, you don't even need verbal praise, the title of your own person is not just for talking. Currently, the only person who is still somewhat impure is the current Queen Kerrigan.

However, according to the rat man's lifespan, she will become pure in another twenty or thirty years at most.

Morgan had no objection to verbal praise, as if it were a matter of course.

"Master Juggernaut, what is the next plan?"

Rowan thought for a while. He had already established a base on the moon. It would be useless for the Ratmen to continue researching rockets. He worked so hard to cultivate the ratman civilization, not to let them develop themselves.

"The follow-up research and development of the rocket can continue, but the relevant personnel must develop into their own people or backup. Next, the energy of the Ratman can be directed to other disciplines. After all, the previous technology tree of the Ratman was somewhat biased, so it is better to develop it in an all-round way." good."

"Master Juggernaut's words are really reasonable. As the dean of the Imperial Aerospace Research Institute, I think it is very inappropriate to use up a lot of manpower and material resources of the Empire to study aerospace technology. This will inevitably squeeze other The living environment of the subject has caused some unnecessary conflicts. For the sake of the unity and friendship of the Ratmen, I will suggest to Her Majesty the Queen to reduce the funding for aerospace research and use it to support the development of other subjects."

"Well, yes, well-founded, very appropriate." If it wasn't through conscious dialogue, Rowan would have slapped him twice.

Dozens of days later, at the moon base, the mother nest had already produced some adult worker ants and worker bees, as well as their eggs. At the same time, an egg of the queen was produced, and it was transferred by Rowan before it hatched.

Now this worm egg has been transferred to the new base on the back of the moon and has hatched into a larva. I believe that after it matures, the speed of the swarm of worms on the moon will be greatly improved.

After all, this is the classic Zerg opening, bust the peasants, then double-base naked.

The future development of the lunar base has been focused on the back of the moon, because the yellow moon only revolves and does not rotate, so the back of the moon cannot be seen on the origin star.

After the average development of the Ratman's technology tree, maybe when the astronomical telescope will be popularized. Although the ratman civilization is a captive race of the swarm, it has also provided a lot of help to the swarm.

So for the sake of their physical and mental health, it is better not to let them see any messy things when observing the moon through the astronomical telescope.

In the days that followed, Rowan's focus shifted to the moon base.

Under his auspices, the worms discovered two mines, which are rich in mineral resources, and the metal particles extracted from them can make magnetic field generators. With the help of the worker bees, the creep was quickly spread in the mining area.

There is light, water, and metal mines, and all the production materials for bugs have been collected. The number of bugs in the moon base is increasing rapidly. Since there are no hostile forces on the moon, no attacking units were produced in the early stage, but all worker bees and auxiliary units were produced.

Since the gravitational force on the moon is very small, many units can be made larger than their counterparts on the star of origin without modifying the template.

For example, digging ants can easily reach a body length of more than 10 cm according to the original template. With a little strengthening of the bones and muscles of the legs, the figure can be made 1 meter away.

Of course, due to their exoskeletal armor, they need to spend much longer in the larval stage to get bigger.
