I Am the Swarm

Under external stimuli, some gene fragments hidden deep in the creep were activated.

These genes cause a small part of the creep to mutate, and they can decompose these inedible toxins into "delicious delicacies".

"Look at those plaques! Have they recovered a little bit more than before?" an observer suddenly wondered.

"How is it possible, the main components of those highly toxic substances are polymer compounds after polyaddition reaction polymerization, even if they are not considered toxins, these compounds are basically unable to degrade. If they are not cleaned up, this land is basically a waste It's gone." The crew member who spoke to him obviously knew more about the situation of incendiary bombs.

"But I think those dark brown spots have really shrunk." The observer didn't believe in evil, and firmly believed in his own eyes. He has a unique talent in distance measurement and rarely makes misjudgments.

With the swipe of both hands, two pictures of the same area, two hours apart, were slowly superimposed together, and the dark brown poison spots were marked by dotted lines of two colors.

When the two pictures are completely overlapped, it can be clearly seen that the area of ​​the poisonous spot a few minutes ago is significantly smaller than that of two hours ago.

"Fuck! It's true, this thing is still recovering!" The science crew member exclaimed.

"Hurry up and report to the captain!"

The efficiency of the Riken tribe during the war was astonishing. In less than two minutes, the commanders of the three major fleets had already received the news. The new weapons that they thought could obtain miraculous effects only slowed down the opponent's growth rate.

Time passed, and two hours passed quietly.

"Reporting sir, we have carefully analyzed and compared the previous videos, and after another two hours of observation. Unfortunately, they are indeed recovering, and the speed is getting faster, maybe in another two hours, they will recover to the previous scale."

Hearing this, Khamis' face was a little gloomy. It seemed that those purple-gray fleshy tissues could resist extremely high temperatures and had a strong ability to decompose.

Not only toxins, those land-based cannons, although covered by them, but from various external data analysis, they are being rapidly decomposed.

These things are quite digestible.

Although they still don't know what the other party is.

But it doesn't matter, when the space octopus hit Lazer before, it was blown up a lot, and some broken body tissues are still floating in the orbit of the planet, and some of them have been collected.

And after the electromagnetic gun fire on the surface of the planet was eliminated, the Rickon tribe also extracted some tissue samples from it.

The scientific research team accompanying the ship is conducting urgent experiments and analysis, and it is believed that some results will be obtained soon. It's a pity that there is no relevant functional ship to follow this combat mission, and the equipment on the battleship is relatively simple, otherwise you should already know what is on the other side by now.

The bombing is still going on. Although ordinary energy weapons can't completely destroy the purple gray plaques, they can delay their development.

Moreover, as the strongest race in a star system, the Rickon tribe has not had an opponent of the same level for a long time. Even if there are occasional civil strife, the scale is not large.

Therefore, almost all the soldiers recruited this time are recruits with no actual combat experience.

Isn't this situation an excellent training opportunity?

Although apart from that hilly area, there are still thousands of adults lurking, the swarms in other places have already lost their ability to fight back. But at any rate, it is actual combat operation, which is much better than pure virtual training.

The formations of fighter planes that besieged and patrolled the hilly areas were rotated out in batches to participate in the bombing operations in the main theater.

They practice various attacking actions, such as diving to launch a round of attack and then quickly pulling up, maintaining a distance and uninterrupted lobbing, and so on.

Time passed bit by bit. During this period, the fighters returned to the orbital fleet for several rounds. After replenishing energy and simple repairs, they set off again to join the exercise.

"What exactly is going on?!"

The entertainment room of a battleship was opened up, and then transformed into a crude and large temporary laboratory. A scientific researcher looked at the scene that had been repeated countless times in front of him, and exclaimed angrily.

I saw a piece of purple-gray creep tissue in front of me, slowly turning into thick water, which filled the experimental platform.

All the Riken researchers' eyes were red, and they didn't know whether they were sleepy or angry. They have been without sleep for more than 70 hours.

The commanders of the three major legions, the operational command room of the mother star, and a large group of related personnel are all waiting for their experimental results.

But they were stuck at the first step of the experiment, not to mention the results.

Researchers have discovered that the bodies of these alien creations are divided into two parts, one part is ordinary body tissue, and the other is a kind of aggregate, which they call the "core".

Ordinary body tissues are really ordinary, and most of them contain some nutrients. Although the protective cells on the outside of them are somewhat inspiring to the Riken, but because of the problem of the technology tree, it is only an inspiration.

As for the core technologies of alien creations, their functional systems, bio-electromagnetic guns, bio-plasma engines, and even the bio-controllable fusion organs, etc., they are individual organs and a whole, any behavior that wants to explore their secrets , will cause a series of chain reactions.

Researchers just want to collect some cell samples from the "core location" for analysis, which will trigger their self-destructive behavior.

They have adopted almost all comparable methods. No matter what the instrument for collecting samples is changed to, as long as it is inserted into the "core", the cells will collapse. The foul-smelling liquid of information.

Researchers have even used extreme freezing to reduce the temperature to near absolute zero in a short period of time, trying to seal the body cells of alien creations and prevent them from self-destructing.

But in the end, they all ended in failure. Think about it, the void between two galaxies in space is a region close to absolute zero. When these alien creations are still "alive", they can shuttle freely there, and the low temperature cannot seal them It also makes sense.

The scientific researchers have no idea how this is done. According to their current performance, as long as the shell hits, they will turn into thick water by themselves.

But in fact, they can shuttle in space, can conduct high-intensity combat, and can resist the bombardment of energy cannons!

This unscientific!

Unless they have protection programs written into their cells, how do they tell what's going on outside? How to distinguish which attacks need to be defended against and which attacks need to be self-destructed? Do they have a consciousness of their own?

Then this requires each of their organs, and even each cell to have its own consciousness! But how is this possible?

What's more, they are now "dead"! Even if it is conscious, it should have died.
