I Am the Swarm

Soon, they landed on a planet. After Reggie stepped out of the cabin, he looked around.

In the distance, half of the star of the familiar T855 is exposed.

This made him understand that where he is now should be on a certain planet of T855, but because of the perspective, it is not clear which one it is.

The ground squirmed, revealing a deep hole, and Morgan took the lead to step into it.

When Reggie walked into it, he realized that although there was nothing unusual on the surface of the planet, it was only the top layer. Under that layer of sand and gravel, it had already been hollowed out by a dark purple creature.

These creatures are like the internal organs of creatures, wriggling from time to time, and when they pass by, there will be a faint purple light along the way.

"It's amazing." Reggie sighed, no wonder they couldn't find it before, it was too hidden.

"If you see the colorful KTV surrounding three-dimensional lights before, you will definitely find it even more magical." Morgan secretly said in his heart, but he didn't say it out, he didn't know if Lord Juggernaut was spying on him, this kind of black history has always been Juggernaut Adults are strictly forbidden to mention it.

"How are you going to execute me?" Seeing Morgan leading him around, Reggie finally couldn't help but speak. He also looked away now, and understood Kamasi's mood back then.

Morgan was taken aback for a moment, and then said with some amusement: "Old friend, things are not as you imagined."

"Are you going to use me as an experiment?" This is what Reggie is most worried about. After all, he has already seen a corner of the opponent's methods.

"No." Morgan replied firmly.

"Then you're not going to let me go back, are you?"

"That's not sure." Morgan laughed.

"Really, you won't kill me?" Reggie didn't believe it, but he was inexplicably looking forward to it.

"How to say? We will kill you, but you will usher in a new life."

Fear arose, and these words sounded so strange, giving him a very bad premonition.

Looking at Reggie's appearance, Morgan comforted: "Don't worry, you will like it."

How did you know I would like it, Reggie cursed in his heart. But it's too late to say anything now, and we can only silently wait for the upcoming fate.

Finally, they came to a small room, which was completely made up of that dark purple organism. Under Morgan's command, Reggie lay down in the middle of the room, and the dark purple creature squirmed, slowly covering his whole body.

Before he was about to be fully wrapped, Morgan's words were vaguely heard: "Old friend, didn't you always want to see him? When you wake up, you can see him."

"Who the hell is he?!" A dull voice came out stubbornly from the wriggling creature.

Reggie's consciousness plunged into darkness.

Morgan looked at the squirming fungal sac in front of him. Over the years, although he had always called him Lord Master in front of Rowan, Morgan still liked to call Rowan a god in front of the rest of the people.

More than a hundred years have passed since the birth of the first intelligent body, Morgan. There are already millions of intelligent bodies transformed by ratmen, and Rowan has a new understanding of this transformation.

Through his observation and research, when the ratman spirit enters the swarm network, it is not as simple as "entering the door", but will go through a complex conversion process.

First, the memory of the spirit body will be stripped by the swarm network, and then the spirit body itself will become the material for making the intelligence body.

The swarm network will absorb the spirit body, and then use these energies to shape a prototype of the intelligent body.

When the intelligence body is first created, it is a blank, without any consciousness and memory. At this time, the intellectual body has nothing to do with the original spiritual body, just like eating meat and then being digested and converted into fat deposits, it has completely belonged to the creation of the swarm, and it has nothing to do with the biological units produced by the brood. No difference.

A physical swarm spawn, a mental swarm spawn.

The intelligence body without consciousness has little effect on the swarm, so at this time, the swarm network will completely copy the memory of the previous separation of the mental body and instill it into the intelligence body.

Make them mental and creative.

Therefore, they will be completely loyal to Rowan.

Just as Rowan is the game server and the data itself, and these intelligent bodies are NPCs derived from copying player data, the basis of their existence is Rowan, and strictly speaking, it can even be said to be a part of Rowan.

After clarifying this concept, the research work can continue accordingly.

Why can Ratmen be transformed into sapient?

The Ratman was originally the product of Rowan's experiments. Their ancestors were mixed with the genes of the Brood Creation, and even some of their ancestors were themselves the Brood Creation.

But that alone doesn't make them sapient, it does shape their foundation.

If you use farming to describe it, the mind and body are the fruits, and if you want to get the fruits, you first need a piece of land, suitable land.

And the body mixed with the brood creation gene is this suitable land.

Now that the land is there, the next thing you need is the seeds.

This seed may be something like a soul, or what is called a spirit body. It grows and develops on this land, and finally reaches a standard that can be harvested.

However, Rowan discovered that these seeds are also good and bad, and most of them cannot meet that standard.

He has done experiments with many animals, but their spiritual bodies are not up to the minimum standard for making intelligent bodies. Later, Rowan discovered that after the seeds are planted, they still need nutrients.

These nutrients are knowledge, experience, etc., which can be collectively called wisdom, which is very unscientific, but it is true.

At the beginning, the ancestors of the rat people could not become intelligent bodies because they were not intelligent enough. When they were bred from generation to generation, they evolved civilization, and civilization watered wisdom, and wisdom watered seeds.

Finally, the land, seeds, and nutrients have all reached the standard, and then qualified materials are produced, which are finally harvested by the swarm network and made into intelligent bodies.

But for a long time, only the Ratmen under Rowan could meet the standards in the three elements, while other species would always fail to meet the standards in one or more elements.

Among them, what is stuck in almost all other species is nutrients, which is wisdom. But it is too difficult to cultivate another intelligent race. First of all, there must be an ecological planet, and secondly, it will take a long time. It is almost impossible for Rowan to cultivate another civilization patiently like he cultivated the rat people.

Fortunately, there is no rush. To put it bluntly, this civilization is similar to a material production base. Although there is only one production base, the output is enough for the current swarm.

But a few more production bases are always good. In case an enemy blows up the origin star one day, if there is only this material base, wouldn't the intelligence and body be unable to produce anymore?

Fortunately, at this time, the Rickens appeared.

Thank you for the reward of 1500 starting coins, and thank you Yuan Zhiorder, guwangjinlai, and the lonely dragon wolf for the reward of 100 starting coins.
