I Am the Swarm

Digging ants do physical work, so their exoskeletons still need to be preserved. Fortunately, on the moon side, the creeps grew faster than the bugs, covering a large area.

The moon base is still in a situation of excess resources. Therefore, raising some big bugs will not cause any burden.

As time passed, various types of digging ants broke out of their chrysalis one after another. After hardening their exoskeleton underground, they immediately began busy work.

Since eggs and larvae do not have magnetic field generating devices, they still need to be isolated from radiation deep underground during their early growth stages.

This is the purpose of producing some digging ants first, as they grow in size, they work more efficiently. After more than three months, five simple large-scale underground bases have been dug out. As for the follow-up decoration work, it still needs to be polished slowly after the small digging ants and worker bees are replenished enough.

At the same time, the number of queens has also increased to ten, with two in each base, fully replenishing labor.

The lunar base is gradually on the right track, and with the completion of the supply system and production units, the development speed will become faster and faster.

Then, some follow-up plans should also be prepared.

Occupying a small moon is certainly not the purpose of the swarm. If so, Rowan might as well be the leader of the ball on the origin star.

The moon is just a springboard, without an atmosphere, it is very suitable as a launch base for the swarm.

However, it is impossible for Rowan to build a rocket launch site on the moon. There is no industrial base here, and some other raw materials are also lacking. The Ratman's rocket technology system is not applicable here.

Although the bug swarm now uses the jet system, it can fly until its energy is exhausted in a weightless situation. And it can also glide for a certain distance by inertia.

The universe is too huge, and the flight distance that can circle the origin star a few times is only a drizzle in the universe. And even the speed of jet flight is several times faster than that of Fengshen on the origin star. But judging by the distance between the planets, it doesn't even count as a turtle crawling.

Naturally, Rowan would not choose this mode of transportation, otherwise, when his jet bugs fly out of the star system, maybe the Ratmen's spaceships will be built.

Of course, this assumption does not exist. Because if the ratmen have the ability to threaten the swarm, they will face a big purge before that.

Back to the topic, at this moment, what Luo Wen thought of was the Pippi Shrimp, which is known as an alien mecha.

It has a variety of black technologies suitable for space travel.

For example, the hyperboloid system on its gun hammer, research shows that if this system can be enlarged dozens of times, and the material is strong enough, it can support its normal activation. In the absence of air resistance, the kinetic energy it generates instantly can even throw stones directly onto the moon.

This system is used in Rowan's Shuangao. It is very easy to use after its function is weakened, and it can make the bulky Shuangao much more flexible. And when it is running at full capacity, its attack power is very powerful. Even if it needs to be activated every time, it will cost a lot of money, but it still cannot cover up its ability. With it, Rowan narrowly escaped death many times.

However, limited by the materials, even if Rowan's so-called full-strength operation, it only exerted a small part of its strength.

But now there is no air resistance on the moon, only a little gravitational force. If it is designed properly, it can become the most suitable way for the swarm to travel.

Its structure has nothing to improve, or Rowan does not have the ability to improve it now. I can only choose to make some articles on the material.

Rowan chose to make the material, in addition to retaining the hammer material of Pipi shrimp, but also mixed a large number of plant cells.

Compared with animal cells, plant cells have an extra layer of cell wall. It is thick, tough and slightly elastic. It can maintain the shape of the cell well, increase the mechanical strength of the cell, maintain the normal osmotic pressure of the cytoplasm, and have a good defense effect.

However, even so, the new material can only support the hyperboloid system to run at full capacity once, and then it will self-destruct due to strong overload.

So Rowan did not make them into living organisms such as animals or insects, but chose to make them into the model of hanging parts outside the creeper, which is equivalent to a one-time module.

The initial shape of the launcher is like a big meatball, they will be placed in a suitable position and connected to the creep. Under the delivery of creep nutrients, they will gradually grow into a one-armed catapult.

The creeps attached to its body will hold it in place, and at the same time, the launching device itself will also grow a well-developed root system, which can penetrate a hundred meters underground, which can also provide it with strong stability.

When it needs to be launched, the creep will deliver enough energy to it in a short time to activate the hyperboloid ejection device inside, and the acceleration generated will instantly bounce the shell at an extremely terrifying speed.

After the launch is completed, most of the structure of the launch device will be destroyed due to severe overload, and its cost is not cheap, it can be regarded as a very luxurious launch method.

However, the resources of the entire moon are open to the swarm, and the swarm does not need to produce too many combat units, so most of the resources can be used to produce this kind of launcher.

Because this launching device looks retro and looks like a one-armed catapult, Rowan named it the bomber.

The shells of the bomber are of course also specially customized.

The main body of the shell is a sporangium, which is covered with a layer of lichen structure, which is composed of various rock materials. It can make the sporangia look like meteorites when flying in space.

This is a by-product of Rowan's radiation experiments, although they can also resist all kinds of radiation very well. But its material is too malleable, like a stone, so it is not suitable for mobile armor.

But it is very suitable as a disguise.

Under the lichen structure is a layer of heat-resistant nanostructures, which prevents them from resisting friction from the atmosphere when they land on a planet with an atmosphere.

The inner layer is the extremely concentrated nutrient substance, the thick nutrient substance wraps the creep seeds, a few eggs of worker bees, and an egg of the queen.

Since the sporangia do not have an electromagnetic production system, they will enter a dormant program to resist the extreme environment of the outside world.

Such a combination can help them quickly establish a prototype of a swarm base in a new environment.

All the R\u0026D, manufacturing and other preparatory work took Rowan more than a year to complete.

At this time, on the back of the moon, on a slightly raised hill, on the purple surging ground, three bombers "grow" out.

Around one of the catapults, there were more than a dozen ratmen standing, busy about something.

After preparing for so long, it's time for the actual operation.
