I Am the Swarm

On the Great Venus, the strategic focus of the swarm was placed in the ocean, and the production of scout fish in the sea skyrocketed. Fengshen threw their eggs into the sea one after another.

Rowan wants to take advantage of the years before the arrival of the main body to thoroughly check the ocean of Great Venus. Now that Godzilla has come out, maybe there are also things like the handsome boy of Skull Island and the king of monsters Ghidorah.

But it turned out that he seemed to be thinking too much. Over the past few years, due to the low cost of the eggs of the strange head fish and the relatively small initial size, their number has grown to hundreds of thousands.

These sea scouts worked tirelessly, surveying the bottom of the sea in general. Whenever there is any abnormal radiation area, a creeper seed will be sent to "scare the grass to scare the snake".

It's a pity that not to mention monsters like Ghidorah, even the second Godzilla has not been found.

Moreover, over the years, not only the continent where the swarm base is located has been searched by the swarm, but even the other four continents have been transported by Fengshen to a large number of scout flying insects.

These flying insects are smaller in size and cheaper to manufacture. Like the strange head fish, they have to do investigation work conscientiously. It's a pity that there is nothing to gain on land. Although some big monkeys were found, there is still an insurmountable gap from the level of the pretty boy.

Sarah, whose "toy" was completely wiped out by the breath of two heat-generating cores, because the production sequence is full of scouting arms and has no training arms, can only focus on monitoring Godzilla and wait for the arrival of Rowan.

Godzilla has returned to the dormant place since venting a few years ago. It seems that it does not need to eat, and can live only on radiation, and killing is just to vent its emotions.

It just woke up, and it seemed that it would not be able to sleep again for a while, but came out to make a fuss every now and then. It seems to have an extra grudge against the purple-gray creep that woke it up, and every time it comes out, it destroys a large area of ​​​​creep by the sea.

But what it destroys is only the surface tissue of the creep, and the root system is seldom damaged. After it finishes venting, the creep will grow back in a short time.

Rowan also withdrew his energy from Daqixing, where the "visiting" team was watching, so there shouldn't be any problems. And he must seize the time to study hard and make progress every day.

Now there are fewer and fewer genetic templates that can be used for reference, and the technological progress of the swarm has gradually required him to rely on his ability to transform. Therefore, he has to seize the time to enrich his knowledge reserves.

The days returned to calm again.

Just when Luo Wen thought that this peaceful life would last for more than ten years, until his body arrived at the Great Venus. A sudden news disrupted all these plans.

A previously lost contact with the Swarm Meteor was suddenly reconnected.

During its original flight, it hit a piece of space dust with a mass of only a few grams, but the extremely fast speed still caused serious injuries to both sides of the collision.

The dust turned into more crushed dust, but the swarm meteorite was also torn apart by the impact.

A larger piece of cystic tissue was slowed and redirected by the impact, and then captured by the gravity of a passing comet.

The main component of this comet is a large piece of solid ice, and there is actually a large volume of gaseous water on its surface, which allows the cyst tissue that has lost its internal storage to be replenished with water, and it barely maintains its life form.

On the way of this comet, it entered the network link range of a subsequent launch of the swarm meteorite. As a result, this cyst tissue, which had been missing for decades, returned to the embrace of the swarm.

After inspection, the queen eggs in the cyst were lost, but the creep seeds were still there and could be activated. However, the ones near it are only second-generation swarm meteorites with a built-in hydrogen-oxygen reaction system.

This kind of propulsion device still cannot make the swarm meteorite move independently, and it is still a light-year away, so it is basically impossible to support it.

But fortunately, that comet had a lot of water resources, so Rowan ordered the creep seeds to start hatching, and based on this comet, concealed itself, maintained life, and then served as the eyeliner and network node of the swarm, following the comet everywhere Shaking around is fine.

Originally, this was just a trivial matter, and it didn't deserve more attention from Luo Wen. But when Rowan was studying, when he was bored, he remembered to look at this cyst tissue, what he had experienced in the past few years, especially the impact, this is currently the only insect swarm unit that survived the impact in the extreme speed state .

Although only a part of the sporangia remains, there are still several observation devices on it, which have been operating normally in recent years. Rowan fiddled with it for a long time, and finally called up its historical records.

It doesn't matter if you look at it. After a quick look, it turns out that there was once an alien spaceship passing by millions of kilometers away from the comet.

The surviving observation system on the sporangia is mainly optical observation, which is similar to the structure of a super farsighted eye. Logically speaking, at a distance of millions of kilometers, it can basically see nothing clearly.

But this alien spaceship is simply too dazzling.

Yes, too dazzling.

It emits a huge amount of dazzling light, like a small sun, it is difficult to prevent the observation system from noticing its existence.

Surprised, Rowan urgently held a meeting of the swarm intelligence, except for the "visiting" group that was on standby. Many other people from sociology, psychology, etc. were also invited to participate in the meeting, and thousands of intelligence bodies were gathered here and there. Including the members of the "Visiting" team, the total number of intelligence bodies is close to 30,000, which shows how much Rowan attaches importance to this matter.

There is no way not to pay attention to it. This is the first alien intelligent civilization encountered by the swarm. Judging from their spaceships capable of interstellar voyages, the other party's technological level is quite high.

Moreover, from the analysis of the video images, there is a high probability that its technological level is far above that of the insect swarm. After all, the swarm agents calculated based on the observation distance of the sporangia at that time and the size of the opponent's luminous body. The volume of the opponent's spaceship is at least tens of kilometers, and the flight speed has reached more than one-tenth of the speed of light.

Although the swarm can accelerate the spaceship to this level by relying on the old-fashioned ejection device or the new-style electromagnetic giant launcher, but that is only for small-sized biological spaceships.

For spaceships as large as alien civilizations, there is currently no way for the swarm to accelerate them to this speed.

Moreover, judging from the picture, the spacecraft should rely on its own power system, which is completely different from the technology of the swarm, which relies on external forces to accelerate.

The current biological spacecraft of the swarm only rely on their own electromagnetic propulsion system, not to mention that the speed is far from reaching this level. In terms of battery life alone, they cannot fly to their own parent star system.

The location where the sporangia found the alien spaceship was in the void between two star systems, which indicated that the other party had at least flown out of a neighboring star system.

If it is a nearby star system, it is actually better. If they fly from a distant galaxy, the problem will be more serious.

However, just judging from the size of the spacecraft, the propulsion device and its battery life, it shows that the opponent's technological level is far superior to that of the swarm. If there is a gap of several generations between the two sides, the opponent can even crush the current insect swarm with just this spaceship.

And this is not what Luo Wen wants to see.
