The evolution of Zerg

Behemoth's body shape is similar to that of Leviathan, both at 10,000 meters, but Behemoth's body looks more bloated.

One is for defense, the other is for combat effectiveness.

From a defensive perspective, Behemoth has five layers of defense.

The first layer is to use the gem meat in the body to form an ATP force field that can cover the whole body. There are a total of five gem meat supply areas. There are no other creatures here, and it is automatically supplied by Behemoth.

The second layer is the thick exoskeleton on the outside of Behemoth.

After years of research by Adam, the exoskeleton has developed at a rapid pace and is somewhat close to the bottleneck. The density of the exoskeleton has reached the picometer level.

Some indigenous civilizations that attacked with firearms could not leave any trace on Behemoth's body. This was the strength of the exoskeleton defense.

The third layer of defense is the outer epidermis. This skin is found in all Zerg civilizations and has strong toughness and regeneration.

There are many tiny bacteria on the outer epidermis. These bacteria can combine and divide in order to speed up the recovery of the skin. Of course, these bacteria are usually in a dormant state.

The thickness of this layer of skin can reach 10 meters, which is as thick as a small high-rise building.

Moreover, the density of the skin is even worse than that of the exoskeleton.

The fourth layer is the subcutaneous tissue, including muscles.

The muscle strength of the Zerg has reached perfection, and Zhang Fan doesn't know how to improve the overall strength of the Zerg. Maybe he has to wait until he conquers a new civilization in the future.

The subcutaneous tissue contains the dermis, muscle and cartilage layers.

The dermis is the layer of skin below the outer epidermis. This skin is a bit brittle to put it bluntly. Its main purpose is to continuously supply energy to the outer epidermis.

Once the dermal layer is ruptured, the repair speed will slow down. Therefore, in Eva's design, this type of dermal layer forms a streamlined circulation method.

This advantage can mobilize dermal cells from other places for rapid repair.

The muscle layer can be regarded as the final defense of Behemoth. This muscle layer covers the whole body and is the thickest.

The muscle layer is highly active, with millions of muscle layered areas throughout the body, both externally and internally.

The muscle layer can cushion the impact of some attacks and can also be used to counterattack through muscle compression.

Next is the cartilage layer. The effect of this type of defense is similar to that of the muscle layer, but the number is much smaller than that of the muscle layer.

Its main function is just to provide a certain amount of support.

Just like the cartilage in your tongue and nose, and the cartilage in your ears.

Once squeezed, it can deform instantly to prevent the biological organism from being destroyed.

The last layer, which is the fifth layer of defense, is the bone layer.

In Behemoth's body, the bones are not too densely distributed, and are mainly supported by muscles.

But the main function of bones is to defend some important organs.

The density of the bone is the same as that of the exoskeleton, which is picometer-level defense. Adam has refined this bone material step by step, and it is absolutely strong.

After looking at the defense system, let’s look at the attack system.

There is a retractable firing pin on the top of Behemoth's head.

The main purpose is also to prevent melee attacks when no weapons are available. If this happens, Behemoth will have to consider injuring the enemy by one thousand and damaging himself by eight hundred.

In addition to the top of his head, Behemoth also has other flying needle-type weapons on his body, which can stand upside down like a hedgehog.

It can only be seen clearly in close combat, but it is useless when attacking from a distance.

The main function of these spikes is to prevent the enemy from landing operations, otherwise Behemoth will be very passive.

There are also two pairs of blade-like fins placed on both sides of Behemoth's body.

This kind of fin is specially designed to regenerate. If it is interrupted by the enemy, it can slowly repair itself.

In terms of defense, it may not be as good as the body, but in terms of offensive power, it is still very objective.

Behemoth can fold these fins or unfold them, just to destroy the opponent.

An extremely thick tail. Don't think that the tail is just a decoration. This tail is the same as the alien tail. It is very flexible and can be retracted.

Under normal circumstances, Behemoth's tail is like a dolphin's tail, swinging up and down with no trace of attack power. However, after close combat, the muscles on these tails will contract and completely cover the tail bones.

Then, the soft tissue at the joints between the bones stretches, making the entire tail look very long.

Then, in this case, the tail gives the opponent an unexpected fatal blow, swatting the fly.

After talking about melee attacks, let’s take a look at long-range attacks. However, Behemoth is somewhat powerless in long-range attacks.

Or is it because of the development problem of long-range weapons that it is difficult to defeat alien races.

The first weapon is the cannonball bug. Like Leviathan, Behemoth can compress the muscles in its mouth to release cannonballs. The initial speed is faster than Leviathan, and the compression of the muscles is also greater.

The second one is the nuclear blaster. The nuclear blaster is a type of air force that can propel itself, but it was transferred to the environment of space combat by Zhang Fan.

The Nuclear Blaster, combined with the Behemoth, looks a bit like a carrier ship.

The power of Nuclear Explosive Mosquitoes should not be underestimated. Although they are not as powerful as Cannonball Bugs, they are better at maneuverability.

It can rotate its body to avoid the enemy's attack, get close to the opponent, and then launch a fierce blow.

Although these two long-range attacks are powerful, their rate of fire is really poor.

You know, in space battles, the faster the speed, the greater the chance of victory.

Once the attack speed drops, the entire ship may be at risk of defeat.

Therefore, Behemoth has two long-range attack weapons, the first of which is transplanted from the body of the Plasma Insect.

The flame plasma has been compressed, has a longer range, and is more powerful, but in comparison, it can only be regarded as a medium-range strike weapon.

The flame slurry is ejected from Behemoth's mouth, and after each shot, it has to enter a recovery period.

The other one is the plasma cannon, which is fired by plasma bugs.

Behemoth has 10 pairs of eyes, which is where 20 plasma bugs live, and they can release plasma cannons from Behemoth's eyes.

Long distance, fast speed, and powerful, it is Behemoth's best choice for early battles.

After Zhang Fan understood everything about Behemoth, he couldn't help but nod.
