Chapter 327 Experiment
"..."
"What do you mean?"
Chen Ming was stunned.
He didn't see clearly what just happened.
However, his psychic ability still allowed him to sense what had just happened.
To put it simply, the phase beast did not slow down when it approached Chen Ming's robot, and then directly smashed his robot into pieces.
And through the substances that Chen Ming could control that were left at the scene at this time, Chen Ming could still hear the cry in the deep sea full of question marks.
It seemed to be wondering why the thing that had just attracted it had dissipated.
It didn't seem to notice Chen Ming's robot.
It's like a person was attracted by the sound of ants, but didn't notice the presence of the ants when he walked towards them, and simply trampled the ants to death.
Chen Ming's hypothesis may be that he was too far away to hear the specific source of the sound, and the phase beast in front of Chen Ming at this moment should mean that he could not clearly perceive the position of Chen Ming's robot through the phase space.
Or maybe it's because the phase beast is actually interested in Chen Ming himself, and Chen Ming's true self is not here, so the phase beast cannot sense it clearly.
This is probably the case.
In short, Chen Ming still had some difficulty in creating a new robot at a nearby location.
After hearing the phase beast's voice through this robot, the phase beast seemed to sense the existence of his robot again and flew towards Chen Ming's new robot.
However, the result can be said to be exactly the same as before.
The phase beast still didn't notice Chen Ming's robot and crashed it directly without slowing down.
Chen Ming was a little unconvinced and wanted to build a robot directly on the phase beast.
However, although the space where the phase beast is located seems to be empty, the phase beast itself exists there, and Chen Ming's robot cannot create it.
Moreover, there seems to be some kind of special position around the phase beast's body, and Chen Ming's psychic energy cannot affect it. He can only keep a distance of about tens of meters to create a new robot.
Chen Ming thought for a moment and chose to create it in the air above the phase beast's head.
Once built, the robot will land on the back of the phase beast, presumably on its back.
However, just after Chen Ming's robot heard the voice of the phase beast again, and the phase beast sensed Chen Ming again,
It didn't know whether it felt a foreign object on its back or something. It subconsciously turned over and flopped around on the ground, crushing the robot into pieces again.
"..."
Listening to the confused voice of the phase beast once again losing its complete and clear perception of Chen Ming, Chen Ming fell silent.
He could tell from the phase beast's voice that it was not absolutely aggressive, and that anger and fear were not directed at him.
But they can't communicate or have contact at this time.
There is absolutely no way to stop the phase beast from continuing to act foolishly.
Otherwise, let’s give up here for now.
Chen Ming felt that he had to see if there was a chance to get a phase ship from the Ship Research Institute quickly in the future, and try to use the phase ship to enter the phase space to contact the phase beast.
If they were all in phase space, the phase beast might be able to clearly sense the position of his robot.
While the phase beast was still confused, Chen Ming quickly sped up his movements and drove the shuttle boat to the second mechanical colony where the beast had just left.
The mechanical armed forces here have been almost completely destroyed, and Chen Ming can easily control the entire colony.
And here, Chen Ming also found a new psychic mechanical creature that destroyed psychic energy.
It looks a little different from the second and third ones.
Chen Ming chose to send this destructive mechanical psychic creature away as well, and then conduct unified research on it.
Soon, most of the colony was in ruins.
Chen Ming once again found the control center of the colony.
After borrowing some equipment from the mechanical tribe, Chen Ming was somewhat regretful that he could not find another mechanical psychic biological transformation facility.
There is only one facility in the three colonies on the entire planet, and this facility has been damaged a lot.
Chen Ming had a headache.
He had originally thought that the other two colonies would also have this facility.
If not, then we really have to conduct experiments with only one-third of the facilities that are still operational.
Chen Ming was still somewhat reluctant to conduct a final search using metallic liquid scattered in the only two colonies on the planet.
The result, of course, was nothing.
It's better to withdraw then.
Before leaving, Chen Ming finally confirmed the location of the phase beast.
I found that it went back to doing its own thing after being confused just now.
After turning around and ravaging the ruins of the second colony, it headed to the location of the third colony.
However, Chen Ming has used psychic energy to take away the intact third colony and all the mechanical individuals on it.
Therefore, judging from the position of the sound at this time, the phase beast is most likely hovering over the original third colony.
Listening to the voice, it seemed that he was beginning to be confused and confused again.
However, after carefully observing the original site where the third colony was moved, there seemed to be a hint of excitement in its voice.
Chen Ming is not sure, but it should be this emotion.
Chen Ming finally tried to build a robot to contact the phase beast, but unfortunately the result was the same.
The phase beast excitedly walked over to Chen Ming's robot, then crushed the robot, falling into a confused reincarnation once again.
So be it.
Chen Ming left some metallic liquid on the planet and buried some body tissue of the Queen of Insects deep underground.
He also controlled the stardust level outside the orbit and visited all the planets in the galaxy, leaving a little bit behind.
He then dismantled the Stardust and completely handed over the galaxy to the Legion.
At the same time, he also plans to return his main consciousness to his body. He still has many things to study next.
However, Chen Ming did not have time to do so.
His prosthesis at the legion headquarters suddenly received a call.
It's a call from Bai Quan.
The prosthesis of the headquarters is still leaving the headquarters on the shuttle boat.
There happened to be nothing wrong, so Chen Ming picked up the phone.
Bai Quan's voice sounded: "That...isn't it a little too much?"
Chen Ming immediately realized that Bai Quan was probably referring to the fact that he had just ran back and forth twice about the information about the Machine Tribe and took away a colony.
He responded somewhat innocently: "I feel okay. The main reason is that it would take too long for the Legion to come over. The phase monster has already demolished the colony several times."
"It's better if I keep some of it now than to demolish it, right?"
"You can tell me if the legion needs anything, right?"
As for what the legion needs when the time comes, whether Chen Ming has it on hand is another matter.
"Okay... Anyway, I have to wait three days. Let's see if we can do something when the legion fleet arrives in three days."
Bai Quan just came over to ask, and it was indeed as Chen Ming said, before the legion's fleet arrived, basically what happened in the galaxy had nothing to do with the legion.
Only after the fleet arrives will the legion be qualified to make decisions.
Communication ended.
Chen Ming glanced at the autonomous driving system of the shuttle boat. The destination was fine, it was at the Ship Research Institute.
Before the shuttle boat arrived, Chen Ming continued to switch his main consciousness to his body.
His body now has two things to do.
One is an experiment on mechanical psychic biological transformation equipment.
One is to study clearly the situation of the mechanical psychic creatures of the mechanical race, especially the mechanical psychic creatures that destroy psychic powers.
How do these mechanical psychic creatures use their psychic powers? Why do they have spiritual enlightenment nerves in their bodies that should not appear in biological bodies?
These two things can actually be classified as one thing.
So Chen Ming simply conducted research in the order in which the mechanical psychic creatures themselves appeared.
That is to say, first figure out what can be produced from the remaining one-third of the mechanical, psychic and biological transformation facilities.
Then, based on the results of his own experiments, combined with them, he will study the mechanical psychic creatures themselves.
At the highest point of the pioneering base, the research area filled with various research facilities occupies the middle section of the ship at the highest point.
Although most of the space is occupied by research equipment, there is still no problem in inserting a new piece of equipment into the corners of the middle section of the spacecraft.
Chen Ming had already delivered the things before.
And when he came here in person, he looked like he was going to activate the equipment.
Chaofan, who usually has been studying the area, immediately asked him a bunch of questions.
It's probably about what this device is and how it works.
Of course Chen Ming didn't know what the long-distance principle of this device was.
And since Chaofan can ask this question, it definitely doesn't know the answer to it.
This means that the technology of this thing is really ahead of the technology of Empire and Afterglow by at least one era.
So Chen Ming didn't give Chaofan an answer, he just asked him to look at the experiment he was going to do next.
The experiment of the mechanical psionic biological transformation facility is, of course, the transformation of psionic creatures.
Although it seems that ordinary creatures that are not psychic creatures can also be transformed, but if conditions permit, you must use something good.
Each of the Zerg units produced by the Queen can use a certain level of the Queen's psychic powers.
Just use bugs to try to transform.
Then the next question comes, which Zerg unit is most suitable?
There are many types of Zerg individuals.
Parasite eggs as small as spores and as large as Titan bugs, which are more than thirty meters in size and charge at the front lines of the battlefield, are all possible targets.
However, which one to choose depends on the maximum size that the conversion device can fit into.
Although only one-third of the mechanical psychic biological transformation facility has been demolished, the core position has not been damaged too seriously. It is still about thirty meters high and is in the shape of a hemisphere.
The Titan bug might be able to be accommodated if it was squeezed a little, but Chen Ming was not ready to take out the Titan bug for a dangerous experiment.
Try to choose a moderate body shape.
Chen Ming thought for a while.
The final choice was a Zerg individual about four meters in size, very similar to An Wuping after he entered the insect state.
Of course, this is a pure Zerg individual. There is no technology in An Wuping that combines Chen Ming's own spiritual energy, the Queen's spiritual energy, and the origin of chaos, nor is it mixed with Chen Ming's genes. It is a pure Zerg species. Such an individual's overall quality can be said to be the strongest among the Zerg units, and is a good choice.
After filling the holes in the roof of the cabin with materials similar to those of the cabin.
Chen Ming stuffed the insect into the open hatch.
Just after Chen Ming pressed the start button, the transformation facility suddenly prompted Chen Ming that there was a lack of available materials.
Some key materials and facilities are provided, but they are the main materials that constitute mechanical psychic creatures. Chen Ming needs to provide it.
If it is related to the mechanical family, Baiyun Steel is obviously the most suitable.
But Chen Ming chose another material.
The psychic white cloud steel produced by Yan Xiong is 100% pure.
After Chen Ming filled in the materials.
The hatch of the facility was closed, and the bugs Chen Ming stuffed in were sent to the center of the cabin.
Chen Ming can also use spiritual energy to sense everything that this insect encounters.
After an extremely rigorous scan, the facility suddenly released a large number of nanorobots that looked like iron sand at first glance, covering the Zerg units.
Based on the scan results just now, they slowly transformed every cell and cuticle of the Zerg unit into a mechanical structure.
Although the Zerg have no pain nerves, they still feel damaged.
At this time, the feeling transmitted to Chen Ming by the Zerg unit in the transformation facility through the hive mind network did not have any meaning of pain.
Transformation does not cause any pain or damage to living creatures.
And although the raw material Chen Ming used was 100% pure psionic dolomite steel, it did not seem to have any impact on this process. These nanorobots simply transformed biological cell tissues into psionic dolomite steel. mechanical.
The entire operation process seemed to be normal, as if the loss of external equipment did not affect the basic functions of the conversion device.
However, the good times did not last long.
The progress of the transformation facility had just transformed the parts below the calves of the Zerg individuals into steel, when the operation of the facility suddenly stalled.
Those nanorobots also paused at any time.
Then it resumed operation.
Chen Ming immediately paid 100% of his attention.
Because the equipment had obviously failed just now but it was still running.
If the faulty equipment continues to operate, God knows what the consequences will be.
Those nanorobots continue to transform biological cells into machines.
but.
The difference from just now is that not all biological cells have been transformed by nanorobots. The transformation process of these nanorobots after malfunctions is an intermittent transformation.
The transformed feet and calves are purely mechanical, but the thighs have become a mixture of biological tissue and metal.
The conversion process is running, but incomplete.
And the incomplete results are just that.
While Chen Ming was observing, the transformation facility continued to transform the body of the Zerg individual, making its flesh and blood further mixed with metal.
Moreover, the protection of these nanorobots at the transformation site also fails during transformation.
Gray-green blood flowed out, and the gray-white muscles seemed to be filled with countless sharp blades.
Zerg individuals feel that their bodies are being harmed.
And the damage was extremely severe and terrifying.
Its body instinctively repaired its own injuries, filling in the flesh and blood tissue transformed by the nanorobots.
However, the tissue it is used to repair will also be transformed further by the nanobots in the facility.
The further injuries caused by this further transformation forced the Zerg individuals to increase their efforts in repair.
This endless cycle causes the entire insect to become swollen.
Sure enough, the damaged facilities still had no way to lead to the correct results.
The transformation process came to an end very quickly.
The hatch of the facility opened, revealing a half-biological, half-mechanical monster inside that had grown to ten meters in size.
A bloated, sluggish monster that seems ready to die at any moment.
But after all, it is also based on the Zerg gene, and the Zerg individual created using the insect form that Chen Ming and the Zerg Queen have studied for a long time as a template will not die for a while.
It even squirmed out of the cabin, leaving a large pool of gray-green blood on the ground, and then greedily devoured the energy crystals prepared by Chen Ming in advance.
Chen Ming watched and recorded silently.
Although its transformation process was not completed, it unexpectedly retained the characteristics of both the Zerg and the Machine races.
It can maintain its own life by swallowing any object like the Zerg. At the same time, it also has a steel body of the mechanical race.
Moreover, Chen Ming also discovered that the steel bodies on it can be enhanced by the psychic energy of the insect queen.
Even the psychic energy of the Queen of Insects can affect the nanorobots that will be in every normal mechanical race after the transformation process is completed.
Although the transformation process of the Zerg individual is only half completed, there are indeed nanorobots in its body to repair the damage to the mechanical parts of its body.
These nanobots are able to gain increased operational efficiency under the influence of the Queen's psychic powers.
What's even more outrageous is that these nanorobots can actually be like Zerg. They do not use electricity to sustain life, but by eating or directly absorbing nutrients from Zerg individuals.
There is no barrier between biological, mechanical and spiritual energy.
I don’t know if it’s the Insect Queen’s psychic energy that’s like this, or it’s the Insect Queen’s psychic energy that became like this after being mixed with Chen Ming’s psychic energy, or it’s the effect of that facility.
It can only be said that the current situation can be explained in a scientific way, that is, after the transformation explanation, these mechanical components also contain biological cells of Zerg individuals.
To explain it in a spiritual way, the psychic abilities of Chen Ming and the Insect Queen are just so outrageous.
In short, while this Zerg individual that has become a monster can call upon the Queen's spiritual energy, the Queen can still control it.
The effect of Chen Ming's psychic energy is the same. He can also directly use psychic energy to control, repair and transform this monster.
Whether it's the mechanical or biological parts of it.
Even, use deep repair psychic powers.
Of course Chen Ming didn't do this.
He's here for testing, not to show off his psychic powers.
He wanted to see the result of a failed experiment and learn from the failure, rather than the result of a failure suddenly disappearing and Chen Ming not learning anything from it.
However, although the experiment can be said to have failed, what was created was indeed a useless monster after all.
But it can also be said to be a success.
Because Chen Ming could see the possibility of future development from this crippled monster.
It perfectly combines the advantages of machinery and biology.
It can obtain gains from both at the same time, but it is not very outstanding due to the damage to the facilities. Its value has already been reflected.
Chen Ming has had this idea before, combining machinery and biology, but there has never been a suitable opportunity to try and realize it.
Unexpectedly, this facility completed preliminary experiments and verified the feasibility.
He also found two inspirations from the failed result in front of him.
For example, there has been little progress in the Zerg biological construction.
Although the larvae hatching pool technology created by the Queen has basically been stabilized, it does not require every larvae to lay eggs in person.
However, the progress of further research on the breeding room of worker insects is very unsatisfactory, let alone the fighting bugs.
Because there are many types of bugs, their functions are complex, and different numbers are needed at different times, the number of types of breeding rooms required for an entire bug nest is an exaggerated number.
So progress is slow.
On the contrary, the research progress in the breeding room of crystal worms is quite fast.
However, the energy crystallization technology Chen Ming had already sold to the legion. After that, he had no output and could only make money through dividends without any effort. This was very embarrassing.
But Chen Mingxin’s ideas should be able to make up for the other insect breeding rooms
It is true that biological buildings are not easy to create, but the difficulty is different when it comes to cultivating certain biological buildings.
Chen Ming felt that he could first use machinery to create suitable facilities for cultivating worker insects, and then let the insect queen transform them into biological buildings.
Since the insect queen can transform into a cruiser, a small building should be no problem.
This is something that Chen Ming believes is completely acceptable for the Queen of Insects to try.
As for another idea that just popped into Chen Ming's mind, it was to implant various mechanical devices, such as prosthetics, into the Zerg to enhance the Zerg's combat effectiveness.
But he just thought about it and had no intention of executing it.
Because of cost.
The Zerg themselves only need to eat to reproduce.
Installing mechanical equipment and prosthetic bodies for these Zerg requires various investments and time.
The cost of producing Zerg has increased significantly, and Zerg has lost part of its advantage.
In addition, the strength of the Zerg itself is high enough, and the psychic power of the Zerg Queen is amplified. The strength is not lower than that of some mechanical structures.
But if the Zerg become machines...
If it is transformed using mechanical psychic biological transformation equipment, maybe psychic energy can be used to affect the mechanical parts.
But if it is directly implanted into the prosthetic body, it is not certain whether the psychic energy can still have an effect.
If the facility is used to completely transform biology into machinery, it is not certain whether it will be effective in the end.
Therefore, even many metals are stronger than the Zerg carapace, and even stronger than the strengthened body of the Zerg Queen.
Chen Ming would not easily try to implant prosthetic bodies into the Zerg.
The most obvious thing is to use these techniques on some of the elite guard troops Zerg that the insect queen may need.
Or... use it on the Zerg's top biological spaceship.
No matter which one it is, this technology will definitely not be used for the time being.
And we have to wait for the insect queen to wake up from evolution.
In short, let's continue to cultivate this half-mechanical, half-biological monster for two days to see if we can learn more new things from it.
Chen Ming plans to call this half-mechanical, half-Zerg creature Sample Zero, and all subsequent research can start from it.
At the same time, Chen Ming also plans to continue to use and test this damaged psychic biological transformation facility, and continue to put more Zerg into it.
Let's see if we can cultivate a real mechanical Zerg if the equipment is damaged.
However, before taking the next step, Chen Ming still has a problem that needs to be solved.
Why doesn’t this half-biological, half-mechanical Sample Zero have a [Mechanical Awakening Nerve]?
