I Am the Swarm

Rowan has so far been unable to have an accurate definition of the swarm.

He doesn't know that the swarm is a civilization? Or a race or an individual.

Fortunately, he is not a person or a bug who likes to struggle with this kind of problem. Therefore, he called the swarm a force.

The swarm is actually a very exclusive force.

Because the current main resource acquisition method of the swarm is to rely on creep. The coverage of the creeps, as well as their slight toxicity, make it difficult for other organisms to survive on them.

Unless Rowan set aside a place like the Ratman Civilization, creeps are strictly prohibited from entering.

But the ratman civilization was cultivated by Luo Wen, and other civilizations would definitely not choose to coexist with forces like the swarm. Maybe because of the swarm's way of life, they will become the target of public criticism, and it is possible to be besieged by the swarm.

Thinking of Rowan here, he found the joy of fighting wits and courage with the air again. It seems that the swarm needs to become stronger.

Over time, in the system of origin, the planets and their moons orbit, and even in the void between them, there are more camouflage units of the swarm.

Inside these meteorites of different sizes, there are hidden electromagnetic gun modules of the swarm. These modules can exist independently after being loaded with energy harvesting and storage components.

They are spread all over the galaxy of origin, building a galaxy defense system. Although they are still relatively weak and useless for the time being, the radiant energy emitted by the stars is a waste if they are not absorbed.

At the same time, the characteristic that the electromagnetic gun can grow will make this defense system stronger and stronger as time goes by.

Origin galaxy A7 planet

Around it, in addition to its original 36 satellites, there are also densely packed floating units surrounding it in its orbit, and under the pull of gravity, it revolves around the planet A7.

Because planet A7 is a powerful source of radiation, it is simply the best charger for the swarm's biological spacecraft. Therefore, the bases on the 36 satellites have become the main spacecraft production factories of the swarm.

After the eggs hatch, the spaceship about half a meter long will grow on the surface of the planet absorbing the sunlight and the radiation of planet A7. When they grow to a certain size, they will fly to the orbit of planet A7 to absorb radiation at close range.

Since the swarm had no battles and the biological spaceships did not wear out, this led to more and more swarm spaceships on the orbit of planet A7.

And as time goes by, they grow bigger and bigger.

Maybe in another hundred years, the biological spacecraft of the swarm will be able to wrap the entire planet A7, maybe this is the planetary version of the Dyson sphere.

In the orbit of planet A7, apart from those densely packed little dots, there is also a swarm creation that can be regarded as a giant in comparison.

This is a super-giant electromagnetic launch platform, which is constantly merging the original strains to give it more growth points. At the same time, all biological spacecraft with a body length of more than 200 meters will supply it with the collected energy to help it grow faster.

It is now hundreds of kilometers long, and it is estimated that after it is fully completed, it will be more than 5,000 kilometers long, 300 kilometers high, and 500 kilometers wide.

Without this big guy, there would be several times more biological spacecraft in the orbit of planet A7, at least to say the least.

And this big guy, from the name, can tell its role.

When it is fully developed, it can accelerate the emitted matter to a level exceeding one tenth of the speed of light. And its accuracy is not bad, at least not to a very outrageous level.

Therefore, in the future, it will replace the existing swarm meteorite launcher and take on the responsibility of launching swarm meteorites to neighboring galaxies around it.

Speaking of the swarm's meteorite launcher, it is really unreliable. Over the years, the swarm has launched thousands of swarm meteorites towards the surrounding galaxies one after another.

But most of them crashed halfway, random course, unpredictable obstacles, plus its own super fast speed. If there is a large comet or asteroid in front of it, it is okay, but if it is a smaller meteorite, it is difficult to detect and change direction early. ,

Once hit, it is almost a 100% crash rate.

Although the electromagnetic launch platform in the future is still very fast, its relatively accurate launch method will allow the swarm intelligent bodies, who have improved a lot in the current observation and calculation technology, to plan a relatively safe channel in advance. Will greatly reduce the chance of the swarm meteor crashing.

Fortunately, although the crash rate of the swarm meteorites has been high over the years, their task of deploying network nodes has been completed well.

Now in the void outside the origin galaxy, there are tens of thousands of node units within every light-year to help the swarm network increase its coverage.

There are currently two versions of these node units. The earliest version has an ecological circulation system in its body. Their size is relatively large, and each swarm meteorite can't carry a few.

Until later, the swarm absorbed the genetic templates of atmospheric organisms, allowing these network node units to be upgraded. In the new version, since they can directly absorb radiation to maintain their own needs, the ecological cycle system has been removed, which has greatly reduced their size. The carrying capacity of the swarm meteorites has also doubled.

Therefore, although the first-generation version of the network node unit was launched decades earlier, in fact, there are much more second-generation versions floating in space than the first-generation version.

Of course, this electromagnetic launch platform can also launch shells at critical moments, and the power is still very powerful. I don’t know if it can blow up the origin star with one shot, but it should be able to blow up satellites of the size of Huangyue and Hongyue with one shot. No problem.

But this is just an estimate by Rowan, and he has never really experimented.

But this super weapon platform, although powerful in attack, is also in an awkward situation, because if the enemy does not hit the door, it is almost useless and can only serve as a launching platform for the swarm meteorite.

That's not right. If the opponent hits outside the Origin Galaxy, it will take about an hour for a shell to fly over at the shell speed of the electromagnetic launch platform. Anyone with good eyesight and a certain level of technology can basically dodge it easily.

Therefore, it should be said that unless the opponent hits the position near A8 and A9, this super electromagnetic gun is really useless.

Fortunately, this giant structure can also be regarded as a super aggregate of living organisms, which makes it very plastic. In the future, when the technological level of the swarm continues to improve, it may be possible to add a propulsion engine that allows it to move quickly. , by then, it will also have a certain combat power.

As for now, although it is also possible to add a propulsion module to it, it would take a lot of energy to propel such a behemoth. And without the huge charger of A7, relying only on space radiation, it will have to stop cooking for a long distance, not to mention the huge energy consumption of launching shells.
