The evolution of Zerg

The continent where Zhang Fan is located is a supercontinent called Pangea, covering an area of ​​approximately 150 million square kilometers.

Relatively speaking, Life Lake and Yao Lake are very small individuals.

The entire continent is located in the north, and the north accounts for the vast majority of the area.

Above 20 degrees north latitude, the entire northern continent is covered, while to the south there is an endless ocean.

Zhang Fan's hometown is located in the south-eastern part of the Pancontinent.

Yaohu is actually not too far away, also in the south and east, but closer to the center.

Although the terrain is very high, it has abundant water resources.

Through the monsoon phenomenon on land and sea, there are three months of rainy season every year, but the subsequent dry season is too much for most life.

So wherever the force owns the lake, there is life.

The size of the lakes determines the length of life. The simple fact is that Zhang Fan occupies the two largest lakes in the southeast region and can collect a large amount of water every year, so there is no need to worry about water resources.

These days, he is busy making hives.

A honeycomb is a nest built by bees, where they live and reproduce. It is composed of a spleen, which is composed of many regular hexagonal beeswax cells.

Zhang Fan appropriated it and used it as his own base. The internal structure was already approaching perfection, so he did not plan to make too many changes.

The honeycomb structure has higher strength and stiffness than other sandwich structures. The size and height of the honeycomb cells of the sandwich and the thickness of the sheets that make up the grid determine the critical stress for local buckling of the surface panel and buckling of the cell wall panels.

All in all, this structure is very sturdy.

The general design has been completed, and then the construction of the first base will begin.

But who will complete this great project?

The only aquatic creature that can be used is the tardigrade, but since it doesn't have the ability to grab materials, just give up.

Zhang Fan saw a trilobite while he was thinking, and he thought of the worker bees in StarCraft.

This kind of worker bee is not a bee. It is the basic construction unit of the Zerg. It looks more like a scorpion and is an arthropod.

The mouthparts are similar to scissors and can cut the necks of minerals or enemies. There are a pair of huge pincers on the left and right sides. The eight legs provide the worker bee with a faster movement speed. There is also a layer of webbing between the legs to move in the water.

There is hard armor on the back, which extends to the tail. The tail is short and thick, which is to balance the weight of the giant claws at the front.

Zhang Fan already knew the external shape, but what did the internal organs look like?

You must have a heart, which is the pump that provides biological power. The stronger the heart beats, the stronger the vitality of the living thing.

Although Zhang Fan had made hearts, they were small hearts. Although the heart rate beat quickly, the power they provided was not high.

This is definitely not possible for a worker bee. He must have a strong heart and be able to withstand high-intensity work.

In addition, the stomach is an indispensable organ. It is the place where food is digested and the source of energy. It also includes the large and small intestines.

Zhang Fan did not think about things like lungs and kidneys for the worker bees. The lungs could be completely replaced by skin, and this gene could be extracted from tardigrades.

The kidneys have the functions of detoxification and reproduction, but Zhang Fan's worker bees can completely rely on the bacteria in their bodies to detoxify. The detoxification efficiency is very high, and they reproduce asexually. The cells can be spliced ​​together without having to consider the docking of chromosomes.

In addition, the most important thing is the brain. This was also removed by Zhang Fan. Just kidding, Zhang Fan can completely control all the cells in the worker bees. What do you need a brain for?

The basic look was completed, and Zhang Fan started to implement it. The implementation process was quite difficult. As far as the heart was concerned, countless plans had been tried, but they all ended in failure.

These hearts were either not paced enough or could not work properly, so Zhang Fan had to reduce the size of the worker bees and use the heart of a tardigrade as the standard.

The skin was also copied from that of the tardigrade, and the appearance was quickly completed. After installing the heart and intestines, Zhang Fan began to make the eight legs of the worker bee.

This kind of leg is one of the characteristics of arthropods. It has fine hairs on it to enhance friction, is muscular, and is wrapped in an exoskeleton.

These legs are carefully crafted, and the muscles are based on worms. Some larger worms have evolved muscle cells.

Zhang Fan had eaten crabs before and knew how the two pairs of giant claws should be connected, so he could divide them into three sections.

At the top of the first section, part is fixed, part is designed to be movable, and a movement axis is designed.

The moving part is larger, and the two muscles are connected to the exoskeleton. The axis of movement is not centered and is biased to one side, making the pulling force longer and generating stronger force.

In order to enhance the power of the giant claw, Zhang Fan designed a hydraulic system, which is a system that contracts muscles by expelling water.

The other two parts are movable arms, which are made similar to legs, with a thicker appearance and rich muscle cells.

The next step is to make an exoskeleton. Currently, the only creature with an exoskeleton is a trilobite.

Considering the issue of defense, Zhang Fan thickened the entire exoskeleton, and suddenly the entire worker bee became bloated.

These exoskeletons can contain a lot of water, so they won't die from the sun when driving on land.

The webbing between the legs can be said to be the simplest. Just splice the dead cells together tightly, and then combine them with the eight legs through muscle cells.

In addition, the teeth on the mouthparts have the same properties as the exoskeleton. In order to make it easier to eat, there are no long sharp teeth.

The entire worker bee was completed in this way. It is only 10 centimeters in size. Although it is a bit small, it works very efficiently.

Under Zhang Fan's searching operation, the hive was constantly filled.

The honeycomb links rely on a kind of glue, which is like a shriveled cell wall, firmly fixing it. In this process, Zhang Fan made a large number of load-bearing cell walls to provide support for the honeycomb.

The construction of the first-generation worker bees and the first-generation base was completed. Next, Zhang Fan would consider creating brain worms.

Why create brainworms?

This is an intelligent unit that must be developed in order to speed up the evolution of the Zerg, such as thinking and analyzing evolutionary potential or conducting biological simulations.

In the future, the brain worms can achieve the purpose of transmitting their own thoughts and tissue expansion. The brain worms will not die due to any attack, and will eventually be resurrected by Zhang Fan.

No matter how powerful an ordinary person is, it is impossible to completely control a population of hundreds of millions.

But if you have more sub-units, each managing one aspect, it becomes much easier.
