Something's wrong with these zerg

Chapter 5 Xiong Da
Two groups of objects wrapped in white film were placed side by side in front of Mo Lan. They were completely separated from Mo Lan's body and existed independently in the external space.

This is an organ called "corrosion membrane". It originally belonged to a kind of aquatic mollusk. They don't have hard teeth to chew food, so they evolved an organ called "corrosion membrane". A kind of mucus that can decompose, corrode, and melt. After the food is completely melted into nutrients that can be absorbed, the putrefaction film is taken back into the body to complete the activity of eating.

Obviously, the Zerg Queen knew how inconvenient human eating was, so she designed a second mouth for Mo Lan to help her eat.

Thanks to this, Mo Lan found that she can now hatch some Zerg, which she planned to give up at first.

Mo Lan thinks that it can be described as creation or production, which is more suitable for the process of Zerg emergence.

The instincts, habits, body structure, etc. of creatures are all recorded in their genes, and the Zerg Queen will obtain these genes by eating the bodies of other creatures.

And by fusing these genes with Zerg genes, a new form of ordinary Zerg can be created, and even the degree of gene fusion can be controlled to select only the part that is needed.

However, even the Zerg must abide by the law of energy conservation. The biological genes that can be fused by the Zerg Queen will not appear for no reason, and they must be continuously devoured and accumulated.

Of course, the energy required to create Zerg will not be like in anime games, where you can accumulate full energy by resting. Only food that is equal to or even exceeds the amount of food consumed can provide enough energy to create new Zerg.

Therefore, Mo Lan found that she could hatch the Zerg, yes, but only a little bit, because there was not enough food.

To be specific, five or six Zerg that are about the size of Xiao Jiang can hatch, and only one Zerg that is as big as a male six-eyed bear can hatch... After all, the process of hatching Zerg also consumes energy.

Moreover, because Mo Lan has only eaten part of the food, the biological genes stored in her body are only a few of her own and the six-eyed bear gene she just ate, and there are very few choices.

The two-meter-long spider-shaped Zerg is a kind of spider-shaped Zerg that can weave webs and set traps to catch prey. It has a certain degree of toxicity. I gave it for nothing.

Basic worker insects are also a kind, the most primitive form of Zerg, with sharp legs and mouthparts, average defense ability, but as tenacious as Xiaoqiang's vitality, good at digging and filling holes, building insect nests, and almost no fighting ability.

The basic form of the Zerg is another primitive form of the Zerg. It is similar to the standing posture of a human. The forefoot becomes the shape of a knife like the forelimb of a praying mantis. It is extremely sharp. There is a layer of armor-like shell on the body, which can resist most injuries. Responsible for fighting other creatures.

……

The above are Zerg types that have direct finished products and only need to be applied, which is analogous to ready-made templates.

There are also some biological genes that have no ready-made templates but can be used by Molan.

For example, the gene of the six-eyed bear has a hard inner skeleton and great strength, and three pairs of eyes can view the field of vision at different distances from the near, middle and far. These are all characteristics that can be given to the Zerg.

Another example is human genes...

There are also some scattered biological genes that Mo Lan is also at a loss for. I don't know where I got them, and I don't know what they are useful for.

"Well, let's have a little spider, four workers and two soldiers."

Mo Lan made an arrangement. The basic worker insects need to consume less energy, and the size is not very large. Two of them are roughly equivalent to one basic soldier insect and one spider insect.

If it is more specifically quantified, it is - half of the energy of the basic worker insects, one part of the energy of the basic soldier insects, and one part of the energy of the spider insects.

The energy needed to recover two six-eyed bear corpses is about ten parts, and one part of energy can keep Mo Lan from eating for about eight days.

Deducting five parts of energy used and one part of self-maintaining energy, Mo Lan used two parts of energy to create a hatching nest—is it possible that she wants to use her own body to "give birth" to the Zerg?

After simply linking the hatching nest and the rotting membrane, Mo Lan prepared a portion of energy for the hatching nest to incubate the Zerg... There is a kind of desperation to make money, but the money is taken away by the landlord and credit card bills on the day the wages are paid. sense.

So Mo Lan, who still had some energy left, planned to try what kind of Zerg he could synthesize.

Gene!add a bit!
The four basic worker insects were the first to climb out of the hatching nest, and it took less than 10 minutes. According to Mo Lan's observation, the smallest hatching nest she made, if it has enough energy, should be able to hatch ten eggs at a time. Only basic worker insects, in a group of 10 minutes, can hatch nearly [-] worker insects a day...

Fuck... The Zerg is indeed the most terrifying creature in the interstellar world.

However, this can only be achieved on the premise of sufficient energy, that is, sufficient food.

Moreover, the larger the Zerg and the more energy it consumes, the longer it takes to hatch. Like the large Zerg that can survive in the universe and fight with starships, the hatching time is as short as ten days and a half months.

Zerg is not so powerful that it is invincible.

Ten minutes later, the basic soldier worms and spider worms also crawled out of the hatching nest one after another.

The Zerg has no infancy, so Mo Lan arranged for the few Zerg who had not even dried the hatching mucus on their bodies within a few minutes of birth.

The two worker insects are responsible for cleaning the cave, and then the other two workers are responsible for leveling the interior floor and the top of the cave, and the two soldier insects and spider insects are arranged to hunt prey in the forest... Mo Lan wants more Working with hands requires more food and energy.

Although the flight capsule is also Mo Lan's goal, compared to the other things, he is not in a hurry. He can put it aside for now. Anyway, the flight capsule is of no use in a short time and takes up a lot of space.

Xiao Jiang was left by Mo Lan's side as usual, acting as a bodyguard and doing some helper work.

After hatching a few Zerg by herself, Mo Lan felt Xiao Jiang's strength more and more.

Let's put it this way, the five Zergs added up are not enough for Xiao Jiang to warm up. The Zerg species that can be left on the Zerg starship by the Zerg Queen for more than 100 years and have not been eliminated can already prove that Xiao Jiang is a humanoid Zerg. Average.

The Zerg Queen feels that this humanoid Zerg is weak because the comparison is the strongest Zerg unit that the Zerg Queen has tried out over thousands of years.

Compared with the Zerg that Mo Lan hatched, Xiao Jiang was a blow to reduce dimensionality.

Nearly 10 minutes later, Mo Lan tried to fuse the Zerg made by other biological genes for the first time, and slowly crawled out of the hatching nest.

A little more than two meters tall, he stands like a human being and can walk on two feet. His body is covered with brown and black hair. He has a fat body, and his three eyes are squeezed tightly on the upper half of his face...

Mo Lan fell into silence. Seriously, this little chick looks really good. If it wasn't ugly, maybe it would be quite good-looking.

...so why does this kind of thing appear!
Mo Lan thumped the ground. She originally wanted to use human genes plus six-eyed bear genes to see if she could create an orc, so she basically kept the Zerg genes to a minimum, and added some six-eyed bear and human genes with all her strength. It really doesn't look like a Zerg in appearance, but it's not at all what she imagined!

The newborn bear... er man bear... er bear bug... well, let's call it bear big.

Xiong Da has a pair of human-like soft-skinned palms, although there is a thick layer of bear hair on the back of the hands, which surprised Mo Lan.

She has always been dissatisfied with the hard claws and feet of the Zerg, which made her feel uneasy about explaining some delicate tasks, but the appearance of Xiongda satisfied this point.

At the same time, it also proves Molan's conjecture that the Zerg doesn't have to be based on Zerg. Maybe the Zerg Queen has her own considerations, so she keeps fusing other creatures into the Zerg's body to create a more powerful Zerg.

But Mo Lan needs some powerful helpers to help her build her own residence on a planet in another world and maintain her better life.

In addition, Mo Lan really didn't appreciate the appearance of the Zerg race, except for Xiao Jiang, and the eldest sister Leah.

Xiongda has no nose. On its big round face, there are three compact pairs of eyes in the upper half area, and a circular mouthpart covered with tiny teeth, which is the only organ in Zerg shape.

Mo Lan was somewhat stunned. The gene fusion of the Zerg could not be completed simply by setting what biological genes to add, but also needed to set various details, such as which genes to use for appearance, which genes to use for a certain organ, and which genes to use for a certain function. How many genes to use... It is also necessary to integrate the overall impact to determine how much a certain gene can add.

The consequence of not setting it carefully and relying entirely on randomness is that Xiong Da lost his nose and the related functions of smell.

"It's so hard to be the Zerg queen..." Mo Lan looked up to the sky and sighed.

Xiong Da looks very dumb, with the naive spirit of a bear animal naturally, he just sat there blankly without hearing the order, and when he got used to it, he would think that it probably should be a little bit cute.

"...Forget it." Mo Lan no longer forced herself to admire the beauty from Xiong Da, and arranged for Xiong Da to take care of the two six-eyed bear cubs, and only Xiong Da was the Zerg who didn't have hard bug shells on their bodies. (Seriously, can it be considered a Zerg? Mo Lan doubts it.) It is suitable for this job.

After arranging all the Zergs, Mo Lan calmly lay down on the ground that the two worker insects had cleaned up... She is the Queen of the Zergs!Could it be that she should go to work too!That's not very shameless!

Mo Lan took out a silver-white metal ball, and tapped on it with a little excitement. She can play games and watch movies at will, and the good days of stretching out her hands and opening her mouth are about to begin.
