I Am the Swarm

The Rikens have already launched more than a dozen small satellites in the geostationary orbit of the Great Venus, building a simple communication network.

A leading scientific researcher clicked a few times on the portable computer on his left arm and connected to the communication on the cat's ear ship.

"Your Excellency, Captain, the air on planet T853 contains many toxins that we cannot resist. If the respiratory system is exposed to the outside for more than 5 minutes, life will be in danger. However, we should be able to transform the ecosystem here, perhaps with a In a few hundred years, it can be transformed into an environment suitable for the life of our Riken people."

"Root, you know I don't care about these things, now, let's talk about something I'm interested in." Captain Reggie said looking at the image on the big screen of the bridge.

"Okay, Reggie, you're still this quick-tempered." Captain Reggie and Dr. Root had been friends for many years before boarding the ship, so they spoke casually. "In the target area, we detected a large amount of radiation residue, and we can confirm that this is where the nuclear explosion directly occurred."

"But now I don't know how the nuclear explosion occurred and who it was attacking. I need you to authorize me to use the honeycomb drone system to detect the surrounding situation."

"Celia, approve Dr. Root's use of the Hive Drone System."

"Received, Your Excellency Captain." The mechanical female voice sounded.

"Root, looking forward to your good news."

Lute in the picture nodded, and then the image disappeared. Captain Reggie looked at the big star outside the window, lost in thought.

On the Big Venus, the top hatch of the ship with the turret opened, and a 30-centimeter-sized drone flew out of it. It took more than 30 planes to fly out before the hatch was closed again.

After the drone hovered over the ship for a week, it flew in all directions.

These drones integrate multiple detection devices, and the image capture system is very advanced. They search the periphery at a low altitude of 50 meters, looking for any abnormal items. Dr. Root, on the other hand, kept checking the footage from the drone, and ruled out anomalies one by one.

"Selia, it's up to you to check the footage of the drones and screen out all unnatural things." More than 30 drones transmitted too many abnormal images too fast, but this is also the first time they came Alien planets are full of unusual situations for unmanned aerial systems.

These low-level AIs without IQ can't distinguish these abnormalities at all, which makes Root too busy and can only seek the help of intelligent AI.

"Permission approved, now start screening the drone footage." The mechanical female voice rang through the communicator built into Root's helmet, and took over the boring work.

Celia is not a real artificial intelligence life, but an advanced intelligent AI with more advanced programs and more complex calculations. Therefore, it can only screen a part of the images that are obviously okay, and retransmit the uncertain images to Dr. Root for review.

However, these four weeks have been cleaned up countless times by the swarms. Even the body tissues of the dire wolves that were carbonized by the thermonuclear breath were found one by one and cleaned up.

Only the corpse of the Demon Wolf, a native creature of Great Venus, was left in the original place.

Sure enough, soon, the drone took photos of many suspected carbonized body tissues, passed Celia's initial screening, and was transmitted to Dr. Root's personal terminal.

"Very good, Celia, order the drone to collect these carbonized tissues. Oh, my God, there is a big half of a cute skull here, which will make our work a lot smoother. Quickly let the drone take priority Bring it back."

"Got it, Dr. Root."

Several drones returned one after another, bringing back some carbonized tissue samples. After waiting for a while, a drone finally brought back the skull of an unknown creature that Dr. Root was thinking of.

The skull was carried a long distance by the shock wave, so it was the slowest to return after collection. It lost most of its left half after fragmentation, but still has a relatively complete structure.

Looking at the half-meter-long skull, Dr. Root sighed: "This is really a big guy."

Later, he called his assistant to scan the structure of the skull and restore the appearance of the skull accordingly.

"Doctor, our portable instruments can't analyze the specific DNA information of carbonized tissues, which can only be done after returning to the spaceship. However, the skull scans have been completed and attempts have been made to restore their external tissues." Dr. Root's young female assistant will The restored picture of the skull was transmitted to his personal terminal.

"Well, with a very ferocious face, it doesn't look like a guy to mess with. Celia, use a low-orbit satellite to see if you can find a guy with a similar face on this planet."

"Dr. Root, you are not authorized to use low-orbit satellites." The mechanical female voice sounded.

"Then help me find your captain to apply!" Dr. Root was a little annoyed, these intelligent AIs are always rigid and annoying, especially in this situation.

"Dr. Root, your application has been approved, and the comparison is now starting, please wait."

"Dr. Root, after comparison, the creature is 85% similar to the picture." A picture of a group of demon wolves resting on the grassland was sent to Dr. Root's personal terminal.

"It's these guys. Huo, there are quite a lot of them." In the data of the Riken people, there is no biological data on the Great Venus, so the restored skull picture will definitely not be exactly the same as the original. There can be 80 If the similarity is more than %, it can basically be determined.

"Satellite monitoring shows that this creature has a total of 325 gathering places on this continent, with a total number of more than 500,000."

"So many? Such a big guy, what do they eat?" Dr. Root was a little shocked. This is unscientific. The wolf is not small, and it can be seen from the structure of its teeth that it is a meat eater. How do they survive in such a large number?

The mechanical female voice quickly explained the confusion: "After calculation, the creature is more likely to be a food source, with an accuracy rate of 79%." A picture of the bull demon was transmitted to Dr. Root's panel.

"Oh, there is such a magical creature. If it can reproduce on the mother planet, it will definitely sell for a good price. However, plant resources are also extremely precious on the mother planet."

Dr. Root quickly discovered the economic value of the bull demon. After tens of thousands of years of development, a large number of mechanical creations and industrial pollution have caused devastating damage to the environment of the home planet of the Riken civilization. From birth to now, he has basically eaten synthetic meat, and the number of times he has eaten natural meat can be counted on one's fingers.

"That's right, Root, this kind of creature is of great economic value, but unfortunately, there is no such grassland on our home planet." Captain Reggie's voice suddenly sounded in Dr. Root's communication device.

"Hey, Reggie, spying on people is not a good habit."

"I'm just monitoring your work progress. This is my duty as the captain and the person in charge of this operation." Captain Reggie's voice didn't fluctuate at all, as if he couldn't hear the ridicule in Dr. Root's words at all.

Dr. Root shrugged. He has been a good friend for many years. He naturally knows what kind of character Reggie is. If this topic continues, it will not only damage the friendship, but also make himself angry: "I need you to authorize me to command the escort team, just follow me Just come out of this group."

"What are you going to do?" Captain Reggie asked suspiciously.

"I need them to catch a few native creatures and bring them back to the spaceship for some detailed analysis."

"Okay, stay safe."

Thank you Zu Li for the reward of 500 starting coins.
