I Am the Swarm

The density of atmospheric organisms is extremely low, and after death, they really turn into "clouds" and slowly volatilize in the sky. Since it will not fall to the ground, it will not leave fossils or the like, so it is impossible to find traces of their existence on other planets.

However, with the production of the swarm version of atmospheric organisms, the swarm has units that can routinely navigate in outer space. Through the search of the A7 satellite group, it is found that there are signs of atmospheric biological activities on several satellites with obvious atmospheres. sign.

But because the atmosphere on those planets is incomplete and very thin, it is not a habitable place for atmospheric organisms, so the number of atmospheric organisms on those satellites is very rare.

At the same time, the swarm also sent a large number of atmospheric creatures to the planet A7 to investigate, but no trace of atmospheric creatures was found there.

The reason is that the atmosphere of planet A7 is accompanied by high-energy storms all year round. Atmospheric creatures must always turn on the electromagnetic stance in order to resist the tearing of the body by such storms.

Although the A7 planet's atmosphere has frequent lightning, and the intensity of radiation is higher, and the charging speed of atmospheric organisms is also faster, but this is still not as fast as its energy consumption speed.

If the atmospheric organisms cannot evacuate from the planet A7 in time, they can persist for more than ten days at most, and their bodies will lose their protection due to exhaustion of energy, and then they will be torn apart by the storm.

In the blink of an eye, twenty or thirty years have passed, and the galaxy of origin has become much more lively. Between the red moon and the yellow moon, some small Zerg spaceships can often be seen sailing back and forth between the two stars.

Between the rest of the major planets and satellites, there are spaceships passing through from time to time, but they are larger in size.

After decades of research, with the help of the Intellectual Team, Rowan modified the creep template. Developed a plant cell-based power storage gene that integrates various organisms such as deep sea jellyfish, aquatic electric eels, and atmospheric organisms, and finally obtained a power storage cell with fairly good performance.

While storing electricity, these cells can also directly absorb electricity to support themselves. This avoids the annoyance that another set of energy production and conversion systems needs to be added.

Replacing all the non-functional components of atmospheric creatures of the same size with this kind of electricity storage cells can increase their combat time under the limit output from ten minutes to several hours, which can be said to be a very large improvement. up.

Moreover, the modified atmospheric organisms can take off and land normally on the surface of the planet due to the increased body density, but this is at the cost of losing the normal floating in the atmosphere.

Although in space, their impact is almost negligible. But it will affect their combat capability in the atmosphere.

Fengshen, as the main air combat force of the swarm in the atmosphere and the space carrier for long-range delivery, now its various performance indicators have obviously failed to keep up with the development of the swarm.

Therefore, replacement is necessary.

In fact, the modified atmospheric organisms can still take off with the help of the plasma propulsion system in the atmosphere and reach extremely fast flight speeds.

But it has to move constantly and cannot hover in the air, which will consume a lot of energy and have certain flaws.

In order to solve this problem, Rowan thought of the black technology that allowed him to take off for the first time, the anti-gravity system of the beetle elytra.

After research, the anti-gravity system of the beetle is actually an application of the magnetic field. At that time, because it could only make the body lighter, but only offset a certain gravity effect, it could not achieve real anti-gravity lift-off.

Therefore, although its technological content was dark enough, it was not as easy to use as simple wings at the time, and was eventually discarded.

But at this time, this kind of black technology is suitable for the modified version of atmospheric creatures.

The modified atmospheric creatures with added anti-gravity system can hover and float in the air just like before with very little effort.

It can even directly absorb the radiant energy in the sun to charge in the air, but the charging time is slightly longer.

Seriously speaking, the revised atmospheric organisms are actually a variant of creep, a large collection of flying bacteria strains.

This makes them more flexible and more compatible. For example, optical stealth systems, various visual systems, radar systems, etc. can be added to them. This makes them more comprehensive in function, and can also be improved through subsequent continuous improvement, adding modules to fill the template.

But also because he is not an independent creature, its intelligence is a little bit lower. In order to solve this problem, Rowan specially produced a large number of blades to deal with this problem.

The Blade was developed from the original Type I Queen Ant.

At a certain stage when the swarm was at a certain stage, due to the lack of commanding units, it was discovered that the queen ant was born with the ability to manage and command various ant species, and at the same time had a good learning ability.

According to these characteristics, Rowan subdivided them, strengthened the mobility of some queen ants, and reduced their reproductive ability. Thus was born a special product dedicated to commanding battles.

Later, the Zerg Network was born, and the Type I Ant Queen was renamed and reorganized as Blade, becoming a more flexible unit. Monitoring, commanding, measuring, guarding, monitoring, etc., it can be said that the swarm is full of them.

Moreover, they are similar to intelligent AI, lacking the characteristics of emotion and emotion, making them very suitable for some dull jobs. Since his birth, he has been an indispensable helper for Rowan.

As the size of the swarm grows, their demand is increasing, so that now after they are born, they will give up their bodies and directly enter the swarm network with consciousness, becoming a kind of existence similar to virtual creatures on the network.

And with the increase in their number, it would be inappropriate to call them blades uniformly, and it would easily cause confusion. So over the years, Rowan has subdivided their functions. For example, the blade that guards the swarm network has been renamed the Watching Stork.

The blade responsible for monitoring the Ratman civilization, the colonial planets, the ground bases, and the creep situation was renamed Di Ting.

Blade, which is responsible for monitoring the movement of celestial bodies, the flight trajectory of insect swarm meteorites, and maintaining various observation equipment, was renamed Sky Eye.

Because the swarm may face other intelligent civilizations in the future, their rigid command methods are no longer suitable for the flexible and changeable battlefield environment, so the blade that collects data, records, assists command, and logistics is renamed as adjutant.

In order to deal with the low intelligence of the creep fighters and battleships, the blades that control them through the swarm network are named knights.

As for the title of Blade, it will be inherited by the swarm intelligences headed by Sarah Kerrigan who specialize in interstellar warfare and legion warfare.
