Gamers Are Fierce - Chapter 754

[Chapter 753 Space]

After throwing the sundries into the grinder, Li Ang walked out of the alchemy workshop.

The automated pet breeding box is still as peaceful as ever, with warm sunshine and shady trees,

bees flying above the tree canopy, feeding on sap, while

brain worms and worker worms work in the cultivated land, sowing seeds and spraying water sources. , harvesting ripe potions and roughing them in makeshift workshops next to the farmland.

It feels a little crowded.

Li Ang glanced at the rearing box, frowning slightly.

At present, the reproduction of insect swarms mainly depends on queen bees and insect nests.

The bee colony that Li Ang bought on the online shopping platform was just the most common Chinese bee.

After hundreds of rounds of iterations, the colony has completely lost its original appearance and is no longer limited to Hymenoptera, Neoptera, and insects. Class, and even some of them have been out of the category of Arthropoda.

This is also impossible.

Although insects such as the Palawan giant flat stag beetle and the long halberd beetle are invincible among creatures of the same size, they have evolved their combat power to the extreme,

but the limitations of arthropods are still too great. .

The chitin exoskeleton limits the size, and the skin needs to be molted every once in a while.

The open-tube circulatory system determines the slow transport efficiency of nutrients and metabolites.

In addition, there are also inefficiencies. Respiratory system, motor system, these factors determine that the size of insects cannot be enlarged at will.

If the bee colony is to be able to adapt to the battle between superhumans, it must be modified.

Evolving the open-tube circulatory system into a closed type, allowing blood to always flow in the loop formed by the blood vessels and the heart, the circulation is more efficient and faster,

the chitin exoskeleton is preserved, and it is divided into multiple components, making the It can fall off regularly without affecting real-time combat power,

At the junction of the chitin exoskeleton, more valves are opened up, which

are connected to the closed-tube circulatory system to improve breathing efficiency.

The skeletal system has evolved, with light bones growing in the arthropods, increasing muscle density, and having a spine.

According to the spine,

the centralized chain nervous system of arthropods is transformed into a tubular central nervous system

to increase the speed of nerve signal conduction.

(The centralized chain nervous system of insects, inherited from the cable nervous system of annelids, is relatively primitive and inefficient. If there are large insects, its response speed will be very slow)

After such a set of transformations , Among the bee colonies, there have been many “four dissimilar” species.

Some scout bees are more like birds with a layer of chitin armor than insects.

The colony still retains the previous three classes,

queen bee, soldier peak, and worker bee.

The queen bee has an average body length of nearly one meter and lives above the tree canopy. It can lay thousands of eggs every day.

These eggs will be taken by the worker bees to the southeast corner of the automated pet breeding box and placed around the abyss magic mirror to

allow the new insects The radiation mirror that the egg receives from the abyss mirror has the special effect of [compensatory alienation], which can mutate the surrounding living creatures.

Among the thousands of worm eggs, about 900 will die due to excessive mutation, and

only 100 will hatch normally.

These 100 new larvae will be brought into the simple beehive by the worker bees for feeding and raising for observation. The mutation state,

the mutation is basically stable after a period of time, and the surviving larvae will be inspected by Li Ang or the brainworm.

If the mutation is favorable, the larvae will be kept for further observation.

If the variation traits have no potential, they will be bred into ordinary worker bees, or directly eliminated and recycled to save biomass and save the internal space of the breeding box.

The same is true for the swarms.

Under the influence of Li Ang and the abyss magic mirror, they got rid of the limitations of the nematode phylum and had a stronger motor system, circulatory system, and respiratory system.

The nematodes were able to reproduce asexually by division. One life is two, two is three,

but after advanced evolutionary characteristics such as bones, asexual reproduction is not suitable.

In the end, Li Ang decided to use the [compensatory alienation] function of the abyss magic mirror to evolve a mindless building-like swarm

organ called the swarm mother nest, which

looks like a semi-open biological factory

. There are assembly lines and workers who do the work.

The worm nest retains the ability of the nematodes to reproduce by division, and can regularly produce egg-

like eggs. A part of the egg-like eggs will be placed next to the abyss magic mirror by the worker insects together with the bee eggs to receive radiation.

The other part will be debugged by brain worms. The brain worms can use the [synthetic beast crafting platform] in the alchemy workshop to adjust the gene sequence of the eggs according to other biological gene information collected by the worker worms,

so that the new larvae have other species from the beginning. characteristics of organisms.

Kind of like aliens, and Genestealers.

However, the space is not enough.

The volume of the automated pet breeding box is 1000m*1000m*1000m.

In addition to the water and soil necessary for a complete ecology,

a lot of space must be vacated to build temples, cultivate farmland, and plant trees.

Thanks to the magical function of the breeding box to create a livable environment, the growth of trees is largely free from the limitations of light and nutrients.

Li Ang consumed a lot of divine power, and cultivated many giant trees of 100 meters or even more than 200 meters high in the breeding box for the insect swarms to inhabit

. Compressing the remaining space in the automated pet breeding box.

It won’t work like this. It seems that it is necessary to transfer some of the swarms out.
