I Am the Swarm

The new generation of creep spore biological spaceships have also been subdivided according to size.

The spore biological spacecraft with a length of less than 10 meters is named the flying ant-class small fighter.

Those with a length of 10 meters to 20 meters are named Wasp-class large fighters.

Those with a length of 20 meters to 50 meters are named Falcon-class small warships.

Those with a length of 50 meters to 100 meters are named Feijiu-class medium-sized warships.

Those with a length of 100 meters to 200 meters are named as large warships of the Golden Eagle class.

Those with a length of more than 200 meters are collectively called the Hiryu-class giant warships.

These fighter planes and battleship-like biological spaceships generally present an octopus-like shape. Each hull comes with more than a dozen arms and legs. Although the number of arms and legs is less than that of the original atmospheric creature, it is because of the enhanced strength of their individual arms.

Therefore, compared with the original version, they are much stronger in both attack and defense capabilities.

As for why there are so many levels, and there is no uniform specification for the length, it is because these biological spaceships are exactly the same when they are first hatched.

Their eggs are more than half a meter high, so the hatched larvae are only half a meter long. After hatching, they will be uniformly arranged to bask in the sun.

Because they don't have a feeding system or a digestive system, they only need to be exposed to the sun, radiation, and lightning to get recharged. And their biological characteristics can allow them to grow and develop after gaining energy.

Therefore, when they were young, they were Flying Ant-class and Wasp-class fighters. As they grow up, they will go through stages such as Falcon-class and Flying Dove-class fighters. If there is no mid-way battle damage, they will eventually grow to Dragon-class fighters giant battleship.

Also, as they grow in size, they can store more energy, which gives them the option to add more modules.

For example, the swarm intelligences have summed up some electromagnetic principles based on the energy supply system of atmospheric organisms. Based on these principles, Rowan developed a biological version of the electromagnetic gun.

The gun barrel made of the creep template uses the cartilage structure of atmospheric organisms to generate a strong traction force when electrified to generate a magnetic field. These traction forces interact to generate a constraining position.

Rowan first added the gene of the seabed metal snail to this module, which can extract the minerals in the ore to form a metal projectile.

The metal pellet becomes magnetized in a magnetic field, turning it into a ferromagnetic material.

Rowan then uses the pulling properties of the magnetic field to pull the projectile. When the projectile is pulled towards the magnetic field, the cartilage structures that generate the field are momentarily de-energized. After the power is turned off, the magnetic field disappears, and the projectile will not be attracted to the magnetic field.

At the same time, there are countless magnetic circles on the passage in front of the projectile. Under the action of inertia and the traction force of the magnetic field, the projectile will continuously accelerate to a very terrifying level, and the powerful kinetic energy will endow it with extremely strong lethality.

As the number of magnetic circles in this structure is greater, its speed will be faster and its destructive power will be stronger. Therefore, its basic body size is above ten meters.

And because it consumes a lot of energy when it starts up. Therefore, no matter in terms of size or energy storage, it is impossible to install an electromagnetic gun component on a fighter-level biological spacecraft.

When the Wasp-class biological fighters grow to the Falcon-class warships, they will obtain a strain seed in the nearest base.

This strain contains all the information of the Railgun mod. Because no matter the biological spaceship or the electromagnetic gun, they are all made on the basis of the creep template.

Therefore, they of the same origin can be easily integrated. When they fuse, the biological spaceship will "grow" an electromagnetic cannon at the bottom of its body.

Moreover, this electromagnetic gun will grow with the growth of the biological spaceship and does not need to be replaced.

Because of the biological characteristics of biological spaceships, they are all living bodies. Moreover, the creep template endows them with strong restorability. As long as they are not completely damaged and lose their activity, they can be slowly repaired and re-grow under the supplement of energy.

Even if some accessories are lost, such as the electromagnetic gun is completely destroyed, as long as the biological spaceship is still there, it can grow again.

In terms of function, fighter-level biological spaceships can quickly break into the planet's atmosphere for air combat. At the same time, they can also support space operations. However, due to the extended distance of space warfare, fighter-level biological spacecraft have limited energy reserves. Usually, they need to pass through carrier-based platforms, get close to the enemy, and then dispatch according to the situation.

And their attack method is to use the advantage of speed, approach the target, and use the arms and legs to fight in close quarters. They are mainly responsible for cleaning up the enemy's small air units. At the same time, they can also use their numerical advantages to interfere and sneak attack the enemy's large combat units. In special cases, it can even clean up ground targets.

The battleship-class biological spaceships, which are larger than the fighter-class, have long-range attack methods and can provide long-range assistance to their own troops. Moreover, they can also fight hand-to-hand, and their thicker arms and legs make their attacks more powerful.

In addition to these attack-type biological spaceships, the swarm also has small, medium, and large transport ships of the Feilu class, the Swan class, and the Weng class. They are mainly responsible for transporting supplies and land troops for rapid air delivery.

Although the swarm has entered the space age, ground troops are still indispensable. Their cost is much lower, and they can rely on the advantage of numbers to quickly clear the ground air defense units and other targets that need to be attacked.

These things were all summed up by Dao Feng and his adjutants.

Of course, Luo Wen also contributed a lot here. After all, his vision is not comparable to that of the origin star natives. They have only seen the biotechnology of the swarm, or the type of civilization that Rowan gave them.

Then, based on this information, they simulated many imaginary enemies and studied many tactics from them.

Rowan was happy to see this happen, and the swarm carried out his will. But he believes that the swarm is not a simple beast, and there is no need to carry out meaningless killings.

After all, he has already left the stage of playing mud with ants and dinosaurs. The insect swarm has many ways to obtain energy, and among them, the energy obtained by hunting creatures is the least efficient.

In Rowan's opinion, it is not necessary to kill after harvesting the genes.

However, he would not naively think that the other party would think the same as him.

He was also someone who had been bombarded by information, and he knew the cruelty and ruthlessness of the law of the dark jungle in the sea of ​​stars.

For example, in the face of low-intelligence creatures such as ants, dinosaurs, and atmospheric creatures, and even ratmen, a civilized race with intelligence but far lower technological levels than swarms.

He can choose not to kill them, but he will never allow them to challenge him. Therefore, he will raise them, control them, and control everything about them to prevent this kind of thing from happening.

And if you encounter a force whose strength is almost the same as that of the swarm, or higher than the swarm, the only options you can choose are fighting or fleeing.

The strength is almost the same as that of the swarm, and the ideology of both sides has risen to a certain level, and they will never allow the other party to control their own destiny. You can only eliminate the opponent as much as possible, or suppress the strength of the opponent to one level lower than your own, and then come to raise the opponent.

As for the forces that are higher than the swarm, just look at the relationship between the swarm and the ratman civilization. Luo Wen doesn't want to become the ratman civilization of other forces.
