I Am the Swarm

As the first force to join the Star Sea Alliance in that corner of the Zerg race, the Riken tribe's business was very prosperous for a period of time. Their main products are various grades of life-extending potions.

Although the production of life-extending plants lost its position as the main production area in the later period, relying on the advantage of the Ji family's laboratory being built in its territory, their trade city is still the life-extending drug market with the largest trading volume.

Although the life-extending medicine is precious, because its production materials are relatively easy to obtain, and the alliance has mastered a complete set of production technology, under the large-scale planting, the selling price of the life-extending medicine has maintained a steady trend.

It can be said that for forces above the middle circle civilization, as long as their individuals pay a little, they will have a chance to obtain a bottle of life-extending potion. And with the continuous expansion of the planting scale of life-extending plants, sooner or later the civilization in the outer circle will be able to have a bottle in hand.

Therefore, life-prolonging medicine can be said to be a very popular product, which is loved by the broad masses of the people.

As the good neighbors of the Rickon tribe, the Zerg tribe, after joining the Star Sea Alliance, under the leadership of Hummings, the two sides still had a honeymoon period for a while. The Zerg trade city is also open. Although there are not many commodities, everything is very popular.

In particular, the personal version of the biological armor is even more difficult to find. As long as it is brought back to the hinterland of the alliance, it can always fetch a high price. It is highly respected by high-end people and even leads a wave of trends.

And these two products were used by the Zerg to infiltrate the Star Sea Alliance. So far, no one has discovered the mystery. If the war did not break out, maybe after tens of thousands of years, Rowan would even be able to take over the entire Star Sea Alliance without bloodshed.

Unfortunately, with the outbreak of the war, the longevity plant production area located in the Riken tribe changed hands. Even the production areas that were later expanded by the Keya Alliance and the Locke Mutual Aid Association fell into the hands of the Zerg.

As a result, the production materials of life-extending potions were in short supply, which slowed down the penetration of the Zerg a lot. This made Hummings, who was in charge of related matters, very upset, and so did Rowan.

If possible, Luo Wen would like to pack and mail those life-extending plants and land to the Star Sea Alliance, and even wants to help them expand their production capacity.

But this matter can only be thought about in a dream, if it is really done, it will definitely backfire.

However, in the nearly 100 years before the start of the war against insects, the two races had already sold a large number of goods. As a result, the Zerg gained a lot of "insiders", but the number of these "insiders" only accounted for a small amount of the total number of people who reached the standard.

There are two reasons for this. One is that Luo Wen doesn't want to rashly increase the number of intelligent bodies. After all, after converting to a smart body, there will no longer be a lifespan limit. As long as there is no accident or Rowan interferes, he can live forever.

Therefore, Luo Wen's review of intelligence is very strict. First of all, only good scientific researchers have a chance to be transformed. The second is some senior generals of the alliance. To a certain extent, they can let the Zerg know themselves and the enemy, and take the lead in the war.

However, although the cost of life extension medicine is not high, it is still a relatively scarce material due to limited production capacity. Compared with those scientific researchers, it is often easier for people with certain power to obtain it.

As for these characters, Rowan doesn't want to transform too much, because their intelligence is often highly overlapping. After transformation, in case they lose their current identity in the future, they lose most of their value. Without command and research and development capabilities, they can only pollute the intelligence team.

Although Rowan can also annihilate their consciousness after using them up, allowing them to become pure spiritual bodies to be absorbed. But Rowan psychologically does not want to do such a thing.

Rowan can also absorb these people from the very beginning, only absorbing their spiritual bodies, without transforming them into intellectual bodies. Although there is no psychological burden to do so, it will lead to a large number of deaths in the alliance.

And this will lead to panic, which is not good for the promotion of life-prolonging medicine. It was impossible for Rowan to do such a stupid thing.

The second reason is the shackles of the swarm network, or the shackles of Luo Wen's strength.

The connection between Luo Wen's body and this universe is a connection above the dimension, which transcends space, and cannot use the original distance to locate this relationship.

Therefore, if Rowan wants to find a certain area and locate a certain unit in this universe, he must have the cooperation and support within the universe.

Currently, the swarm is essentially divided into two types of marking units. One is a very special anchor unit, which evolved from Rowan's body in this universe. Thanks to this special connection, regardless of size or volume, they are like flares in the night sky in this universe, and Rowan can easily find them outside the universe.

After Rowan mastered the jumping skills, the anchor unit took on the responsibility of expanding the territory of the swarm, allowing the sub-bases of the swarm to bloom everywhere in this universe.

Another kind of mark is the node unit, whether it is worker bees, queens, creeps, space octopuses, whether it is the original species as small as nanometers, or as large as ancient, barren, or giant structures, they All are node units.

Perhaps the node units are the products of the secondary production, and their positioning ability is not as strong as the anchor unit. With the strength of the individual alone, if they leave the coverage of the swarm network, Rowan will not be able to locate them.

To put it simply, it is lost contact, but this will not cause a loss of control. These units will continue to execute or lurk according to the order before the loss of contact, until they are found by Rowan again and merged into the swarm network.

When the Zerg first infiltrated the Star Sea Alliance in the early days, a large number of node units lost contact. For example, those personal edition bio-armors that were sold, because they were taken to far away places, most of them were lost.

For example, those life-prolonging potions that are sold all over the world, as well as the intelligent bodies that are dispatched to distant places, are easy to lose contact.

However, the node unit is only weak in positioning ability, not completely lacking in positioning ability. When the number of them in a certain area reaches a certain value, the effect similar to the anchor unit can be achieved. They will re-light their positions in the Swarm Network, helping Rowan find them.

At the beginning, when Luo Wen's strength was not strong, this number required a lot. The number of node units within a light-year range had to reach 10,000 levels, or even more than 100,000 levels, in order to mark their positions.

This makes it difficult to collect the number of node units that are already scarce in the outside world, and even the location of the originally lit area is easy to get lost in the turbulent flow of dimensions again. For example, the researchers of the Zerg and Riken tribe who were first exchanged for points, because they were assigned to different positions or for other reasons, they were constantly divided during the transportation process, and Rowan, who could have located them, lost most of them. The location of the intellect.
