I Am the Swarm

In view of the current form, Rowan certainly would not choose to expose the ability of the swarm to find and capture the Ji clan monitor. Even the Dorchi civilization, which has been in the alliance for thousands of years, can't do things that the Zerg have just appeared on the interstellar stage for a few hundred years. The swarm is eye-catching enough, it doesn't need to shine any brighter.

Although Brar had some speculations, after all, he did not have any real evidence. And according to him, the relationship between the Ji clan itself, the Ji clan and the Xinghai Alliance, and the Xinghai Alliance itself is simply a mess. Whether the Trout Civilization will make this guess out is a matter of two opinions.

But no matter what, after obtaining some information, Rowan found that the situation of the swarm was much stronger than the situation where the entire world was enemies and the army was about to overwhelm the territory.

But even if you want to hide your own strength, all those Ji clan monitors must be located. Although they will not be destroyed, at least know where they are in order to prepare for the next plan.

Some new scouting bugs were released. These scouting bugs were very, very small, dozens or even hundreds of times smaller than Rowan, who was the size of a fingernail back then. Even each individual is only composed of dozens of cells, this is Rowan's attempt on extremely small creatures.

They use the basic template of atmospheric organisms back then. Due to their small size, they usually only need to absorb a little radiation energy to maintain consumption.

Because cells are rare, their functions are extremely single, and they can only sense electromagnetic signals within a certain range and a certain frequency band. They have almost no autonomous mobility, and no information transmission module, but because they are node units, they can rely on the swarm network to report messages.

Also, because they are so small, they can evade almost all detection equipment without adding various stealth modules. In space, almost no one pays attention to such small things. And even if they are discovered, those alien civilizations will not be able to figure out what these little bugs composed of dozens of cells and completely without autonomous consciousness do.

This is a reconnaissance bug specially developed for Ji clan monitors. Although they can sense a small range individually, they cannot hold up to a large number. A mature queen can produce hundreds of millions of these insects every day. They were spread out by the Archaic level, spreading across several major star systems in just a few months.

Under the detection of this density of insects, the Ji clan monitors had nowhere to hide and were marked one by one.

Knowing their location, the next plan can be carried out.

Using the occlusion and interference of the planets and the ancient swarm, some swarm meteorites were thrown out in the blind area of ​​the Ji clan's monitor. Unlike the previous swarm meteorites, this batch of meteorites turned into nothingness just after being thrown out.

But if you observe carefully, you can find that they have not disappeared, but have broken down into countless very tiny individuals.

This is Rowan's second miniature creature work after the previous attempt to scout bugs.

Their body surface is covered by a layer of metallic minerals, a genetic ability of metallic snails. Although the metal snail itself is a relatively rudimentary creature, its ability has played an unimaginable role in the development of the swarm. Whether it was the early swarm meteorites or the later electromagnetic projectiles, even until now, it is still glowing and glowing.

A miniature creep seed is wrapped in the mineral skin. This is Rowan's current pinnacle work. In a few cells, too many things are integrated, and it is almost invisible to the naked eye. And in the dormant state, it will not reveal any breath of life.

This layer of mineral skin makes them look like ordinary interstellar dust. Even if this layer of skin is peeled off, it is difficult to find a few cells that are not dried up. Even if they are found, they will only be regarded as fossil specimens. .

Because of their small size, they will be more easily captured by various gravitational sources and attached to various meteorites and planets. When they reach a suitable environment and are activated by the swarm network, they will absorb the metal minerals in the outer layer, and then, like a real seed, they will take root and germinate.

The roots will absorb the surrounding nutrients while sending the main body deeper underground, while accumulating energy to hide. After receiving the order of the swarm, they will be able to mutate into queens and open up territories for the swarm.

Although the production cost of these micro-creep seeds is much higher than that of micro-scout insects because of the metal skin, but with the current size of the insect swarm, it is completely affordable.

Some queens go full steam ahead, producing tens of millions of microcreep seeds each day, which are then briefly glued together and thrown through catapults.

The direction of throwing is mainly concentrated towards the inner circle of the Star Sea Alliance. Although an agreement has been reached with the Tero civilization, the swarm will not develop towards the inner circle. But this thing itself is a tactic to delay the attack. Besides, with the technological level of those new civilizations, it is difficult to develop the depths of the planet. The insect swarm used to help them loosen the soil, which was completely enthusiastic.

When they are friendly with the swarm, they will absolutely not be able to detect abnormalities inside the planet, and when they are hostile to the swarm, the agreement will naturally be abolished, and they will definitely have a huge surprise at that time.

At the same time, on the other side, in the direction of the outer circle, a large number of space octopuses above the ancient level are heading there through the electromagnetic giant structure. In the land of no man, the swarms don't need to be so hidden in the development.

Of course, the low-key should continue to be maintained. With the current ability of the insect swarm, if the outer circle is not developed or the development is too hidden to be noticed by people, it will appear too fake and go too far.

But if it develops too fast, it will attract some unnecessary attention. Therefore, Luo Wen's strategy is true or false, development must be developed, but the scale and speed of development must be reserved.

For example, just like the star systems facing the inner circle, no one knows the scale of the bug swarm hidden in the planet's underground, except for the bug swarm troops lying in the open. And even the troops who were obviously lying dead had been technically hidden.

Space octopuses are soft-bodied organisms based on creep templates. They can usually be linked to creep to recharge, and naturally they can also be linked to each other. Then compress the unnecessary gaps between the body and the body, so that several or even a dozen space octopuses can be glued together, but the volume does not seem to increase much.

Although this makes the efficiency of absorbing energy much lower, it can also play the role of hiding soldiers. After all, the planet is too small compared to the vast space of the universe. Even if it is completely hollowed out, how many troops can be hidden? ? Moreover, even with the help of radioactive minerals, the troops hiding underground would not grow as fast as basking in the sun in close orbit of the stars.
