I Am the Swarm

The flight time was a bit long this time, and the spore sac shells flew for more than two hours before hitting a handful of sand waves on the surface of the red moon.

However, because the performance of the bomb launcher is limited and it is easier to master, the accuracy is greatly increased, and the impact point is only more than 100 kilometers away from the calculated landing point.

Drawing on the experience of the previous collision with the main body, the main body of the sporangia adopts the bones of some deep-sea creatures and the structure of the shell of the pippi shrimp, plus its own plant cells. Its compression and impact resistance can be stronger than that of the original Luo Wen body. It's too much.

Moreover, the impact this time was relatively light. Although the lichen structure outside the sporangia was severely damaged, the main body of the sporangia did not suffer much damage.

Rowan easily connected to it through the swarm network and activated it remotely.

In the hole created by the impact, the end of the sporangia facing the ground opened a gap, and then spit out the creep seeds and some nutrients.

Then the cracks closed, just blocking the creep seeds, protecting them from a little bit of space radiation that penetrated.

Creep seeds are activated as soon as they hit the ground, and begin to absorb the nutrients around them and grow wildly.

Nutrients decreased rapidly, and a purple-gray figure emerged from it.

Creep's root system develops rapidly, searching for frozen water and minerals underground.

Subsequently, the magnetic field generating device was constructed, and a small magnetic field covered the pit.

Sporangia cameo shield quest completed, Creep opened a hole and swallowed it.

Next, the creep developed for a period of time, and slowly the entire pit was covered with a purple-gray figure. The roots of the creeper went tens of meters deep into the ground, and finally found a little water source.

With the support of the water source, the growth of the creep grows faster, and its main part fills the pit. Part of the branch tissue bonded some lunar dust, completely sealing the hole.

This is Rowan's consideration, if the sporangia falls on a planet with life in the future. When it was relatively weak in the early stage, some camouflage was still needed.

Although it is too early to think about this, he still set up such a program.

The potholes camouflaged by the creep are no longer so obvious. If you don't look for them deliberately, it is easy to ignore them.

In the sealed pothole, in the dark space, a lavender fluorescence gradually lit up. This is the re-modified lighting system, which adopts a monochrome design. The purple-gray creep and lavender fluorescence finally lose the visual sense of KTV, and it looks luxurious and mysterious.

It developed for a while and accumulated some energy. Some roots under the creep began to close together, and then squeezed outward. The sand around the roots was squeezed away, forming a hollow root cage.

Afterwards, the creeper squirmed for a while, and spit out the sporangia in its body into the root beard cage.

The sporangia burst open, exposing the eggs of the queen and worker bees.

Some creep bodies protrude from the gaps in the root cages and begin to provide nutrients for the eggs.

At this point, the mission of the sporangia was completely completed, and on the red moon, the swarm also had a prototype base.

Then there is the boring wait.

The consciousness of the Ratman on Huangyue has been sent back to Origin Star by Luo Wen to sum up his experience. Their space version bodies are sealed in the creeper for maintenance.

Ten days later, the worker bees emerge from their cocoons. With their help, the area of ​​the underground base began to expand rapidly. However, worker bees are not full-time diggers after all, and their efficiency is still a bit low. Luo Wen is thinking about stuffing a few eggs of digging ants into the spore sac shells next time.

Thirty days later, the queen's eggs have grown to a height of five or six meters, and are ready to break out of their cocoons at any time.

However, Luo Wen let it stay in the egg for a few days until it grew to a height of 8 meters before letting it break out of the cocoon.

A larger body size represents a stronger hatching ability. Although it can still grow after breaking out of the cocoon, because most of the energy is used for hatching, the growth rate will slow down.

The emergence of the queen finally allowed the base to have a production unit, and the structural system became complete.

A large number of digging ant eggs are hatched first, because this base is located on the side of the red moon facing the origin star, so its main part will always develop underground, so a large number of digging ants of various types are needed.

Later, when the two moons met for the second time, Rowan sent a few more spore sacs through the bomb dropper. After these sporangia landed, they did not work immediately, but were picked up by the swarm unit and transported to the back of the red moon.

Even in the end, at the third encounter, Rowan made a large sporangium and sent the brood over there.

Because the red moon is in the outer orbit of the origin star, it is less affected by the gravitational force of the origin star, so it is more suitable for launching sporangia.

After Luo Wen's original body was gasified in the natural disaster, the newly produced body has been maintained at a size of about 30 centimeters because it basically does not need to be touched.

Until later, in the laboratory of Xingguang Company, various adaptation experiments were done, and a few more bodies were lost. Now this insect body is less than thirty centimeters in size.

The yellow moon brood produced on the moon was produced according to the current size of the body, so it is only about 30 centimeters. Not much bigger than a queen egg.

The swarm has conducted multiple launch experiments between the two moons, and the technology is quite mature. Therefore, after feigning death of the Huangyue brood, packing it together with the amber-like substance outside its body, and then launching it to the Red Moon with sporangia, the safety is still very high.

Because of queen eggs, currently only the brood can be produced. As the main launch base of the future swarm, Hongyue must have a brood to sit in charge. Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to rely on importing queen eggs from Huangyue.

With the brood sitting in charge, the development speed of the swarm on the red moon soon surpassed that of the yellow moon. On the back of the red moon, a large number of bombers were produced.

However, the name Bomber was strongly protested by intelligent bodies such as Morgan. They believe that, as the only space delivery tool of the swarm, the bomber needs to have a dignified name.

Luo Wen thought for a while, the name of the bomb launcher is indeed a bit silly, and it is not worthy of the name of a space delivery tool. So, after some discussion, Rowan changed the name of the bomber to the swarm meteorite launcher, or the launcher for short...

Luo Wen didn't think that the name was taller than the Bomber, but he couldn't think of a better name, so it could only be for the time being.

The sporangia were also renamed as Swarm Meteorites. Because it is covered with lichen structure, it is indeed disguised like a small meteorite, if you don't destroy it and take a closer look, you will definitely not find that there is another universe inside.

With the multiple launch experiments between the two months, the swarm's technology for slow projection has matured.

As a result, the next round of plans for the swarm has also entered the implementation stage.
