Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 141 The Gene Pool

It is not difficult to "equip" toxin resistance for the Zerg combat units. After the research has been completed and there are relatively complete reference results on the flying dragon, this does not take much energy from Sass at all.

Speaking of toxins, the Zerg have encountered dozens of creatures that can release such lethal substances. Some of them are larger, like the sea snakes before, while others are much smaller, such as spiders, etc. insect.

To this day, Zero still remembers the giant spider on Island No. [-], which was a creature that the Zerg could not do anything about at that time.Just the venom naturally secreted from their bodies can even turn an entire forest into their own domain. The toxicity is so severe that no living things other than plants can survive in it. So far, Zero has never seen it again. Creatures that are more poisonous than this venom.

It should be said that with the various abilities of today's Zerg, it is not difficult to defeat them.Unfortunately, after that tsunami, Zero was never able to find their kind again.

To be honest, Zero at that time was very coveted for the venom on them. He hoped that the group could also have this ability, even if it was a little weaker, because for the swarm that had not yet gotten rid of evolution through mutation at that time, This is the ability to change the Zerg attack pattern!
But the east corner of the lost, the mulberry elm harvested.Although they didn't get this ability at the beginning, the ethnic group changed into the appearance of the Zerg race by accident, and crossed the ocean in one fell swoop, and came to this continent.

If the spiders that were hatched back then were not so poisonous, causing the ant colony to mutate again, the current Zerg might look different.

Maybe better, maybe not as good, no one can tell.

Zero doesn't want to think about things that haven't happened. It's just adding troubles. Trying to look to the future and leading the Zerg to become stronger is what he needs to do.

…………

Although Sass' chubby body moves very little, it absorbs quite a lot of energy. Its daily food intake can match the daily consumption of three or five land units.In order to better meet its needs, Zero generally looks for food with high sugar content as much as possible for it to eat. In order to support it, the swarm even learned some special crop growing skills from the lizardmen.

This is the blessing it deserves. As a great contributor to the development of the insect swarm, it should enjoy some privileges.

When the snow on the northern land had all gone and spring returned to the human world, swarms of insects finally began to fly out of the hatchery. They were the second generation of Zerg units modified by Sass imitating the firefly, and they had not yet been named.

Compared with the first generation, they are larger in size, and they are mainly concentrated in the abdomen. They seem to be chubby and have a naive feeling, but there is a deadly threat in them.

In addition, Sass also made some breakthroughs in the application of foreign objects such as "saltpeter" in the Zerg's body. This time, it finally no longer just imitated, but began to transform the first generation according to its own understanding.

However, the result was not smooth. Sass seemed to have read the reference answers and then summed up by himself. This kind of research that can change the future direction of the Zerg is also somewhat difficult to explore.

Compared with the complete imitation of the first generation, the second generation has just embarked on the road of Zergization at best. There are some improvements, but the significance is not great, which is one of the reasons why they did not have a name.

The research and transformation on them will continue in the follow-up time, Zero is now completely in a state of stocking.

As for now, he had new things to do.

Out of his obsession with the spider venom back then, and the current lack of Zerg attack methods, he decided to try to prepare a brand new poisonous substance in a whimsical way, and use it on the Zerg.

This point still needs a little help from Sass. After all, Zero can't produce toxins out of thin air, and he doesn't intend to catch the highly poisonous creatures captured by the Zerg in the past. It's not worthwhile.

That is to say, Sass has barely freed his hand recently, and the swarm is not facing any major crisis, so Zero can have the leisure to do this.

As the supreme master of the insect swarm, there are still some privileges, such as temporarily dispatching Sass to make a batch of tool insects specializing in the production of various venoms.

Regardless of combat ability and coordination, this was not difficult for Sass, and soon Zero got dozens of bugs responsible for producing various toxic substances.

In fact, the next work does not require much participation from Sass. It is said to be research, and Zero is just messing around on his own. He doesn't even know the nature of the various toxic substances in front of him.

But it doesn't matter, loyal Zerg units will provide him with enough experimental samples.

Saying Zero was a whim, but it wasn't really that. He really wanted to add some stock to the Zerg's arsenal, and it wasn't that he wasn't sure at all.

It's just that he can't be sure how much he can achieve. He can only say that he will do his best, which is to find something meaningful for himself in today's gradually dull life.

In comparison, Sass is like a parent who made a bunch of toys for Zero, and then turned around and fell into busy work. Currently, according to Zero's arrangement, there are still many research projects it is conducting.

According to the current priority order, at the forefront is still the research on the use of "saltpeter" by fire worms.

This point is related to the use of other materials by the Zerg in the future. When the iron ore left by the Lizardman was first discovered, Zero had an idea, and this characteristic of the fire worm provided an effective idea for this research.

Research on this point has made some progress, but it is far from successful.As it is now, to use "saltpeter" like a firefly can only be regarded as the first step, and the follow-up SARS is also continuing to analyze.

If one day it can draw inferences from one instance, and through this research, the Zerg can use various substances from the outside world to strengthen themselves, then it will basically meet the requirements of zero.

This research was followed by a project on how the Zerg could obtain energy.

This point zero has also long been determined to do it, and has put in a lot of effort for it, but Sass has never had a clue.Even if it has studied too many types of plants and even fungi, it has not changed this.

It seems that there is some natural barrier between them, preventing the swarm from producing nutrients like plants.Sass, who is always good for animal research, has no way to make progress in this regard.

There are some strange guesses in Zero's mind, but there is no way to confirm them.

He believes that the reason why it is difficult to do it should be related to the fundamental difference between living things, and the problem may lie in the microscopic structure.

But for Sass, even if this guess is true, it has no reference meaning at all, and it knows nothing about this aspect.

The specifics of the facts are unknown to Zero, but this does not hinder its importance in Zero's mind. If it weren't for the Zerg's current abundance of food and the progress of the project about the fire bug, it should have been ranked first of.

Although there are many difficulties, Zero will never give up research.

Different from others, these two projects are important topics related to the future survival and development of the Zerg. Energy issues and the possibility of evolution will undoubtedly always be the top priority of the Zerg.

But at the same time, they are currently the only two long-term projects, because in the short term, neither of them can achieve results that completely satisfy Zero.

Therefore, although Sass will never give up thinking about these two studies, what Zero can expect is only phased results like the second-generation firefly.

It is foreseeable that these two studies will never end!Because the Zerg's pursuit of power and the need for energy will never stop.

As for the projects after them, the priority will drop a lot.

Of course, for Sass, their difficulty has also been lowered a lot. Even if some projects have not been researched at all, there are still some very feasible ideas, and it is not difficult to realize them.

One is about the optimization of the flying dragon. For the zero requirement, Sass chose to put it aside for the time being in terms of ultra-long-range attacks.

With its current accumulation, it is very unrealistic to expect the Zerg Wyvern to have ultra-long-range attack capabilities beyond the line of sight.

However, if it is only a remote attack, it has some ideas that need to be verified.In this vision, further research on the second generation of fireflies is needed to complete it.

As for the poisonous fog and fangs that were set up before, considering the economics of Zerg dragons participating in close combat, Sass plans to temporarily abandon these two arrangements, and wait for more research results to appear before considering.

Zero does not deny that Sass' original idea did surprise him, because this kind of creative improvement is exactly what the Zerg need most.But considering the actual effect, the dragon will not be used as the main combat unit until it has the long-range attack structure of the Zerg.

Of course, the hooks on the tail of the flying dragon as a transportation structure are still preserved. After all, undertaking the transportation task is also one of Zero's expectations for them.

The other is the research on the structure of Zerg venom. Whether it is fangs or poisonous mist, under the current conditions, it should be a good choice to give to foragers.

In fact, including the various structures transformed by Sass and used on Zerg individuals, these structures are like weapons. As long as there are research results and their feasibility is verified, then Sass is actually Can be used on Zerg at any time.

And the purpose of this research, including the venom debugging done by Zero, is actually to enrich this arsenal.

As the Zergs develop in more and stronger directions, Zero feels more and more that applying every ability obtained by the Zergs to individual Zergs may actually be a restriction on their progress, and it is also A bondage to Sass.

The reason for saying this comes from Sass' transformation of the Zerg's new army, the Flying Dragon.Many wonderful ideas were applied to it, which made Zero also feel bright, but it did not fully consider the positioning of units such as flying dragons in the swarm.

It is true that Zerg individuals with more abilities will be more powerful in battle, but in order to achieve this effect, each additional ability is like adding a new one to an already perfected artwork. The pattern is general, and the difficulty will increase.

In the absence of special needs, this is actually a waste.It is not only a waste of Sass' ability and time, but also a waste of Zerg resources.

Therefore, it seems to be a more feasible path to store all kinds of abilities that are proven to be feasible and sufficient to meet the needs of the Zerg in the knowledge system of the Zerg like an arsenal, and to "load" Zerg individuals when needed.

Special needs, special treatment, according to different enemies, or different needs of the Zerg, it will be more efficient and economical to improve the Zerg in a targeted manner.

In fact, in essence, whether it is before or now, all kinds of research on Sars are enriching this "arms arsenal", or in other words, the gene pool of the Zerg!

Zero often wonders what kind of path the future development of the Zerg will take. Sass’ ability to transform the Zerg is undoubtedly the cornerstone for the future Zerg to become stronger. The current Zerg is almost completely dependent on it. Innate talent and creativity are transformed time and time again.

But sometimes he also feels that something is wrong. This kind of inadequacy does not mean that there are any defects in the results made by Sass. In fact, after so many evolutionary transformations of the Zerg, these new Zerg The units can basically meet the expectations of Zerg. Even if they can't meet the requirements for the time being, Sass always has ideas to solve it.

But there was one question that kept popping up in Zero's mind and couldn't get rid of it.That is, is it a long-term solution to transform the Zerg only by relying on the ability of Sass, instead of accumulating knowledge from the most basic roots like a real civilization, and developing its own biotechnology step by step.

Today, Sass is still in the growth stage. It can be said that it is getting stronger every day than the previous day, even if the range is small, but it is indeed improving every day.

A brain worm like Sass is like a super creature who was born with the ability to rub a nuclear fusion reactor with his hands, but somehow the results he made with his own hands can have such power. He just knows it but doesn't know why.

This is what Zero thinks is wrong. No matter how talented one is, one is still illiterate.It's a pity that such a good seedling is not used to study and allowed to squander his talent!

　That,,,, is it still too late to ask for a monthly pass?
