Bengtie: A Genius's Out-of-the-Domain Idea

Even with all machinery running at full capacity, the swarm size can only be reduced by a further 1.3%.

Lin Yi: "What if we add all the inorganic empires from the outside world, plus the Immortal Boat Alliance and the company?"

Screw Gum replied immediately: "2.7%. At that time, the number of insects will be reduced to 12 digits, only a few hundred billion, but the growth rate will increase to 7.9 trillion per microsecond."

"For every one we eliminate, the overall increase will be huge, and there's nothing we can do about that."

Lin Yi remained silent: "Then let's abandon this plan."

Chapter 274 The Screw's Plan—Pollution "Reproduction," Splitting the Swarm (?)

When the population is large, the reproduction rate is high; when the population is small, the concept of "reproduction" increases. The growth rate of the insect population is like a U-shaped function that changes with the population size.

The lowest-cost way to maintain the situation is naturally to keep the swarm size at that low point of increase.

That won't touch on "breeding," nor will it lead to a qualitative drop based on quantity.

The function for this low-level screw has already been calculated.

It now seems that this plan is not feasible, perhaps because the primary cause of breeding, the very fate of "breeding," reacts too harshly to the decline in the population of true crickets.

Once the swarm of insects is almost completely wiped out, the power of the Starshattering King Insect will be greatly reduced, but its counterattack in reproduction will likely be terrifyingly strong.

Lin Yi was even suddenly relieved that the number of insect swarms hadn't been reduced.

The loneliness of having only one true cricket gave birth to Taizyuros, the star god of reproduction.

The current Starbreaker King Worm O Skarakabaz has already touched upon the indescribable boundary between the two.

We urgently need to call upon the legendary abortion master, Black Swan!

If the first solution is rejected, then try another one. In other words, as long as the solutions do not conflict, they can all be implemented simultaneously.

Lin Yi asked Screw Gumu, "Screw, how's your plan going? Is it showing any promise?"

Screw's plan is simple—contaminate breeding to confuse the insect swarm.

Just like when we deployed the Starshattering King Worm before, we continued to create inorganic swarms and attempted to connect to the consciousness network of the real swarm.

As long as the battle between the Star-Shattering King Worms is lively.

Screw Gum might be able to try to deceive everyone and take advantage of the chaos.

By creating a swarm of insects using a large number of "atomic-level intelligent mechanical units", as long as the Star Shattering King Insects are attacked diligently, they can take advantage of the Star Shattering King Insects' lack of energy to deal with the situation.

The screw has the opportunity to infiltrate the insect swarm with an inorganic swarm, thus substituting one thing for another.

Then, relying on the absolute suppression and absolute authority of the inorganic leader, the Screw Star King, over all inorganic life, he controlled the inorganic swarm.

Simply put, it's about taking advantage of the Starbreaker King Skarakabaz's unpreparedness to label a portion of inorganic life forms as part of the swarm.

Whether Shattered Star King Worm O Skarakabaz acknowledges it or not is irrelevant.

Just recognize "breeding".

Currently, "breeding" has not yet been fully attributed to the Star-Shattering King Insect.

It is only close to God, but it is not Him, not the God of Procreation.

Then, the inorganic swarm can act as a placeholder, taking over the spot that should belong to the true hibernating insect.

At that time, the new 'swarm' will have both the label of a swarm of insects and the label of inorganic life.

It's nothing more than a power struggle between Screw Goom and Starbreaker King Worm.

Why would someone with a brain be afraid of someone without one?

This was the solution proposed by Screw Gum, and after Lin Yi and the others thought about it, they found it to be feasible.

However, they couldn't offer any assistance to Screw Gum during the process. They could only do their best to suppress the Star-Shattering King Worm.

Screw alone has to suppress the swarm while also secretly infiltrating it without alerting the Starbreaker King, which will put him under immense pressure.

Screw Gum: "There is no progress at present. The plan may have a fundamental flaw, and I failed to consider all aspects."

Black Tower curled his lip: "Don't give up so easily. What troubles have you encountered along the way? Tell us—as long as it's not completely far-fetched. Maybe we can come up with a solution by brainstorming together?"

The doll in the Black Tower emitted a beeping sound, reminding the Black Tower that it was time.

Black Tower: "Huh? It's time to hand over my shift so soon. Never mind~ you guys keep discussing. Synchronize with me in half a system hour."

Each shift lasts half a system hour, with members taking turns delaying the Star-Shattering King Worm. This was a pre-arranged schedule.

Lin Yi: "Black Tower's gone, hmm~ that sounds weird. Anyway, there are still a lot of people. Screw, tell me what problems we encountered. Let's discuss it together."

Screw Gum: "The inorganic swarm simulated by the 'atomic-level intelligent mechanical unit' is completely identical to the real swarm. However, I misjudged the logic of the swarm's consciousness."

"The swarm's consciousness is of an extremely high level, and the simulated consciousness created by the program is powerless to forcibly intrude and gain access."

Lin Yi: "Trying to take a shortcut?"

Screw Gum: "I also tried to mimic the consciousness fluctuations of a discrete swarm merging into a large swarm. I also retrieved previous research on the Shattered Star Servants from the database to ensure accuracy."

"However, this solution falls into a logical deadlock—joining a swarm requires approval from the larger swarm—inorganic swarms lack the 'breeding' tag and are therefore not recognized—gaining 'breeding' approval requires joining a swarm."

Lin Yi understood. He needed a certificate to apply for the certificate, but he came to apply for the certificate precisely because he didn't have one.

But Lin Yi suddenly remembered that there was another group of guys who seemed to have 'certificates' – Abyss had raised a group of insects that were unregistered for breeding purposes, but were actually 'certified'.

And then there's the intelligent insect, who finds the swarm extremely displeasing and is determined to 'seal the wolf's lair' and fiercely strike his poor relative to prove himself.

Lin Yi: 'Abyss~'

Abyss: 'What is it... Ouch! Something this big! It's a shame I didn't come!'

Abyss: 'The Wisdom Bug can use this—use it as you like. I can lend a hand later.'

Abyss truly felt cheated; he never expected there to be such a big deal in Yiting.

But the liveliness within the void and shadow is also indispensable...

On Lin Yi's side, an endless expanse of silver radiance was visible, with quantum ripples constantly fluctuating, and countless intelligent insects appeared all around.

These intelligent insects look completely different from before.

Before, you could still see some traces of a real insect, but now it doesn't look like one at all.

Following the teachings and guidance of the Abyss, the intelligent insect shrank many times over, and developed multiple pairs of legs. Its wings also became transparent and foldable.

The current intelligent insects belonging to the Abyss rely on their quantumized bodies to navigate the fluctuations of quantum ripples.

Weave a net of possibilities for destiny.

It feeds on the unknowns released when possibilities collapse and the tides of quantum fluctuations.

Like the Memory One, it observes the changes in the world, absorbs everything from the outside world, and transforms it into a part of the wisdom of the Abyss.

As mentioned before, the intelligent insects were very excited when they knew they had a chance to beat up the swarm, and they wished the entire insect race could join the attack and completely sever ties with the breeding swarm.

However, Abyss suppressed the attack and only sent 50 billion.

After all, it's just for 'stamping' purposes; it doesn't need so many people.

Moreover, this plan is risky; if it fails, the participating intelligent insects will become pawns.

Chapter 275 Wise Bug: It's time to stab our barbaric poor relatives in the back!

Abis said, "Is our computing power free?"

Okay, it's really free, but we can't waste it.

In short, the allocation of the 50 billion slots was determined after an internal struggle within the Intellectual Insects.

"Hiss~ The Wise Insect O Weaver greets its master and is ready to serve you! 'We' have arrived with 50 billion computing nodes."

According to the agreement Lin Yi had made with the Abyss, and according to the special relationship of mutual dependence between Lin Yi and the Abyss.

What's yours is mine—

A glint flashed in Screw Gum's eyes as he observed the swarm of insects with great interest, allocating some computing power to scan and detect them.

Screw Gumu asked curiously, "Mr. Lin Yi, what is this?"

Lin Yi explained to Screw Gumu: "The intelligent insects raised by the Abyss were originally true hibernating insects, but now they have undoubtedly broken away from the insect swarm and shifted from reproduction to intelligence."

"But the roots are still there. They no longer recognize 'reproduction,' but 'reproduction' hasn't rejected them."

"So perhaps we could try using them as a relay? First, let them merge into the swarm bred by the Star-Shattering King Insect."

"Then your inorganic swarm can use them as transit points to enter the Starshattering King swarm through the back door."

"At that time, it will have successfully been labeled as a 'swarm'!"

The screw solution is like breaking into a company and stealing its official seal.

The problem was that I couldn't get into the company because the security guards stopped me, and the company seal was with the boss.

After the Abyss's wise insects left the arena, it was as if a bribed cleaning staff member had infiltrated beforehand and made a rubbing of the stamp.

I'll carve a radish stamp myself when I get back, and stamp it however I want.

As long as you keep causing trouble for the 'boss' and prevent the Star-Shattering King Worm from having time to 'check the accounts', that's fine.

A glint of data flashed in Screw Gum's eyes, and he looked quite pleased: "Thank you, Ms. Abyss, for your help in laying the foundation for the plan to contaminate and differentiate the insect population."

"Now that the plan has a certain degree of feasibility, I will try it again, but the process... will probably require Mr. Lin Yi and everyone else to do their best to keep the Star Shattering King Insects unable to escape."

Lin Yi: "Don't worry~ I guarantee that Skarabaz will die again and again until you have preliminary results."

It's quite interesting—polluting and breeding, but does it require an internal response from the breeding process first?

It seems like this method can also be used for homonyms?

Lin Yi shook his head, dismissing the idea. Harmony and reproduction were different, and besides, the screws might not even work; thinking too far ahead was too much. The Elbow King Worm was the priority.

Ruan Mei stopped plucking Ruan Xian's string, and at the same time Ruan Xian's string snapped. Ruan Mei looked at the Star Shattering King Worm that was fighting the Black Tower and said, "The influence I exerted on those embryos and the hidden tricks I left behind have all failed."

"It may have already digested those things, or perhaps the specific erroneous gene fragments I left behind were lost in the process of dying one after another."

Lin Yi: "To be honest, your plan is not very reliable and the risk is too high. If you're going to try it, it should be the last one. But Ruan Mei, you can make some preparations in advance."

"As long as it temporarily leaves the realm of good vision, there shouldn't be any difference. Even if it notices it, it won't have the brainpower to think about the pitfall."

Ruan Mei nodded: "Hmm~ Thank you for giving me a ride... to that Snow Garden planet I visited in my childhood, the coordinates are [**.***.***.****]. There, the lingering shadows of mysteries remain, enough to obscure Skarakkabaz's instincts."

Lin Yi looked around.

Stephen went to help Screw Goom.

Here, the Memories Envoy rests for a while. Little Shi, exhausted, sleeps soundly in Mana's arms.

Chasing Stars, who has just stepped down and is struggling with his mask.

Yu Qingtu was fiddling with something he didn't know.

Lin Yi squeezed the jade ring Fei Xiao had given him in his hand, but then put it away.

Forget it, the current situation makes no difference whether she's there or not.

Lin Yi, wielding the "Phase Walker," charged towards the Shattered Star King Worm, suppressing it together with the Black Tower.

I promised Screw that I would make the Star-Shattering King Worm fall into a death loop more frequently.

This Star-Shattering King Insect is truly monstrous. Fortunately, it was born in the Land of Good Vision, where its development was somewhat hampered by the environment; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

With their current lineup, even the "Interstellar Peace Corporation" would be crushed if they came.

Hei Ta wiped the sweat from his brow: "Why are you here? It's not your shift yet."

Lin Yi gently tapped Black Tower's shoulder, and the abundant power helped Black Tower sweep away its physical and mental fatigue, while also healing the radiation sting poison that it had been passively infected with.

There's nothing that can be done about the mental strain, but it shouldn't be a big deal for a genius.

Lin Yi: "By helping Screw Gum with the Abyss, we've broken through the bottleneck of that plan, and now Screw is trying it out."

"We need to put even more pressure on the Star Shattering King Worm now."

While fighting, Lin Yi relayed the details of his conversation with Screws to Black Tower, ensuring Black Tower was aware of it.

Lin Yi suddenly rolled his eyes, speechless.

The Shattered Star Insect King used another classic 'Instant Shadow Killing Formation'. To be honest, it's always the same old routine.

Aside from the Star Chaser who recklessly relies on stats and ignores everything else, both geniuses and Memory Masters have practically memorized the Star Shattering King's attack patterns.
