I Am the Swarm

This universe, perhaps the world inside it will continue to cycle and restart, but it itself is also a higher-level existence, and time is meaningless to it. And Rowan only needs to be with it and sleep late to become stronger in sleep.

But after all, Luo Wen didn't change his whole body and mind. He couldn't ignore time, and at that time he didn't understand his own essence at all, so he did a lot of various operations, and found a shortening by accident. The way to strengthen time is "intelligence body."

No matter what purpose Luo Wen had at the beginning, the birth of the "smart body" really made him stronger, not only in terms of technology, but more in terms of the growth of the swarm network.

Perhaps it was because Rowan's sublimation was achieved through life and spiritual sacrifices, so he was able to absorb spiritual energy to strengthen his essence.

This is more efficient than passively absorbing the energy of the universe. Moreover, while absorbing spiritual energy, he can also absorb the energy of the universe.

The formation process of the intelligent body is that the swarm network absorbed everything from the spiritual body, and then created a blank intelligent body, and then copied the memory of his original body to it.

Note that the prerequisite for this process is that the spiritual body is absorbed and digested by Rowan, and strengthens itself. As for what the intelligent body is, it is a derivation of the essence of a high-dimensional creature, and it is difficult for low-dimensional creatures to understand the relationship between them. They may understand it as a clone, or schizophrenia, or something similar to the precise control of their own cells, but they are not enough to describe that special relationship.

But whether you can understand this relationship or not, Rowan has become stronger, which also represents the strengthening of the swarm network. It's a pity that Luo Wen doesn't understand the strengthening of this high-dimensional level. All he can see is that the radiation range of the node unit becomes larger and more anchor points can be created.

At that time, Rowan used various methods to incubate more bodies and broods by making the body dormant and feigning death. But in fact, the relationship between the main body and the brood and Rowan is just a tool, and it doesn't need to be so troublesome to make. The reason why it is so laborious is inseparable from Rowan's own cognition at the time.

The power of high-dimensional creatures is more a manifestation of their own will. At that time, Rowan was still stuck in the previous inherent thinking, thinking that a creature can only have one body, and this kind of thinking shackles prevented him from creating more anchor points.

And Rowan's subsequent fancy operations were more to hypnotize himself in thinking, to avoid the impact of the shackles. As for no matter how he avoided it, he could only create five main bodies or broods in the end. That was because with his ability at the time, he could only create five anchor units at most.

With the strength of Luo Wen's real body becoming stronger and stronger, coupled with a little change in his thinking, he understands more and more things, and he can do more and more. But there is still a gap in self-awareness.

Another escalation of the so-called swarm network appeared. After that, he consciously became a "network" person, but in fact, that was his characteristic, his essence.

No matter what kind of network it is, they all have their own carriers, such as the kind of network that Rowan knew before, its carrier is memory, it is an electrical signal, the network is not an ethereal existence, its signals can be intercepted, and as long as you find it carrier, you can destroy it.

But since the birth of the Zerg Network, it has never been discovered by outsiders, nor has it been detected by any instrument. So what is its carrier? What is its means of transmission? Why node units can achieve communication without delay.

Now Luo Wen understands that the swarm network is his high-dimensional essence and low-dimensional existence. If there is no means to observe high-dimensionality, no matter how powerful it is in the low-dimensional world, no matter how high-tech it is, it is impossible to discover the swarm network. exist.

Communication without delay is easier to understand. Although they seem to be scattered all over the world in low latitudes, they are actually one in Rowan's essence. Through communication outside the dimension, naturally there will be no delay.

Between this universe and the Luowen body, there is no concept of big and small in the usual sense, which is understood by low-dimensional creatures. Therefore, as long as there is an anchor point to locate, Rowan can arbitrarily connect two points in the low-dimensional world through the high-dimensional body, ignoring the so-called distance in the low-dimensional world.

Knowing this, Luo Wen has a feeling that he knows who I am today. He gained another sublimation, not in terms of ability and strength, but spiritual sublimation, which is a step closer to understanding and controlling himself.

Therefore, the problem of network coverage in the Star Sea Alliance, which seemed difficult to solve before, has also become easier. Rowan's current ability can create ten anchor units. It doesn't have to be limited to worms or broods, and it doesn't need to be as painstaking as before. Now he can freely create the styles he likes, but the number is limited.

So he created a golden worm, wrapped it in amber, and let the departing intelligence carry it as a carry-on. And in order to reduce attention, a Riken intelligence was chosen.

It can help Rowan locate the position of this universe, let Rowan find it through the dimensional barrier and the protection of this universe, and connect the node units around it.

However, when the intelligent bodies and the anchor bugs gradually moved away, Rowan made a new discovery. It turns out that the node units themselves can also send coordinates, but their signals are not strong enough to penetrate barriers, and because Luo Wen's quality is weaker, they cannot actively find them.

But tens of thousands of node units gather together, and the condensed signal strength is already comparable to anchor units. At this time, even if there are no anchor units around them, Rowan can find them and connect them.

Does this mean that the limit on the number of anchor units is useless? Although ten seems like a lot, the Swarm has only used the second so far. However, with the continuous improvement of scientific and technological strength and the acceleration of navigation, the radiation range of the swarm network will definitely face shackles again.

If the speed of the swarm reaches eight times the speed of light of the current Ji Clan, if you go to explore the unknown star field, it is impossible to fly a certain distance to decelerate and leave the warp bubble to arrange network nodes. Not to mention this is very troublesome, and it also greatly affects efficiency.

But now it is easy to solve. As long as the node units of the exploration force are kept at a certain number, Rowan will not lose them. Having solved a problem that may be faced in the future, Rowan is in a good mood. Moreover, as his essence continues to strengthen, the boundaries between node units and anchor units may be confused in the future, and there is no difference between them. Any node unit can become an anchor unit, regardless of their signal strength, Rowan can find them through many barriers.
