Chapter 23 The Hive Project (please read)
Dots of ice-blue soul fire floated quietly up and down in the dim and lightless underworld.
Although their number is not large, they add some presence to this cold, dead and empty world.
Ye Xing placed the withered leaves of the world on the stone table in front of him, took out his [Book of Creation] and looked at Gaia and the others' research results today.
The aphid queen mother was successfully created by Gaia and the others two days ago, which actually saved Ye Xing the energy it would have taken to create it.
The mother body has been cultivated, and Gaia and Moses are currently studying how to retain the "hive consciousness" and "parthenogenesis" characteristics that Ye Xing wants on this Zerg mother body.
The suggestions put forward by Gaia are very effective. As expected, professional matters must be left to professionals.
Just like Isis, she doesn't like to stay in one place and focus on one thing like Gaia, and spend most of the day studying it.
On the contrary, if you give her a task such as exploration, she is guaranteed to be full of energy, active and enthusiastic, and take the initiative, which will bring some unexpected gains from time to time.
Even though Isis's own divine power level is a little weak, Ye Xing is not sure about letting her leave the world crystal wall too far and venture deeper into the space-time storm.
In Xiaguang's ravings, the dignified and bright Xihe floated up.
She placed the blooming Zhujin flowers in her hands on the stone table, sat down next to Ye Xing elegantly and dignifiedly, and half-jokingly said to Ye Xing: "Father, you are so partial. You only arrange new tasks for Sumo and the others but not for me. What I did was not good enough?”
The truth is definitely not what Xi He said. Among the several goddesses, Xi He can definitely be said to be conscientious and responsible.
"Don't talk nonsense, I just haven't figured out what tasks to assign to you."
Ye Xing rolled his eyes at her, thinking that Xi He dared to joke with him so openly.
"When my divine power reaches the level of Godhead Three, the natural movement of the sun can be arranged by the fire carp dragons to pull it.
Watching Somo and the others busy in the sky every day, I also want to share my burden for them. ”
Xihe Tuochi stared blankly at his sister Sumo who was walking with Gaia and the others, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Sumo was holding the [History of Time] and was seriously discussing with Gaia and others the direction of the next cultivation of the Zerg mother body. He looked very happy.
Her emotionally reserved sister has grown up.
"Then in order to protect them, how about you practice fighting skills with me when you have time?
I will suppress my power to the same level as you.
Well, as for the other enemies in the battle, isn't there a divine being imprisoned under our feet? ”
Ye Xing stepped on the ground beneath his feet. The last time he defeated the God of Evil, he relied entirely on panel attribute suppression.
Abominations are difficult to kill and can be used as tools to hone combat skills.
When he was exercising his physical fitness, he naturally suppressed his various attributes back to normal.
Otherwise, the attribute increase state will be maintained and the training effect will not be achieved at all.
"Father, do you know how to fight?"
The relaxed expression on Xi He's face disappeared, and she sat upright in a posture of asking for advice.
"No, that's why we have to learn and take the initiative to temper ourselves and make ourselves stronger."
There are many martial arts schools in the real world, and there are many online videos teaching various boxing techniques. Ye Xing has no shortage of ways to learn. Xihe nodded. In her understanding, Heavenly Father always has a way to solve problems.
Isis took Gaia and the others to their seats one after another.
Gaia caught a Zerg mother body from the grass cage she had woven with her, and gently placed it on the stone table to show it to Ye Xing.
"This is our latest bee pupa. It has given up other characteristics and only retains the ability to breed insect swarms.
The insect units cultivated through it will have a direct "conscious" connection with it and be completely controlled by it.
However, as the mother body responsible for gestation, bee pupae do not have any movement or fighting capabilities after they start to breed different offspring. ”
Ye Xing looked at this brand-new insect, which looked completely unrelated to the aphids, queens, and ants.
The huge soft white abdomen resembles the upper body of an ant or a bee. Its wings and upper body limbs are pitifully small.
Because the lower body is mainly used to cultivate offspring and the drag of the huge abdominal cavity, this bee pupa has been staying in place since it was placed on the stone table by Gaia, unable to move.
Ye Xing held up his [Book of Creation], and with the infusion of his divine power, images of the bee pupae's future growth vividly appeared on the pages of the book.
When it first hatches from the egg, the larval pupa looks similar to an ordinary queen ant.
It burrows into the ground to find a suitable breeding environment, stores enough nutrients through eating, and then grows into a pupa.
After the bee pupa becomes an adult, it begins to reproduce its offspring frantically, and crystal white eggs are produced from both sides of the pupa's abdomen.
Worker insects that are responsible for modifying the environment, transporting food, and have no reproductive capacity; larger soldier insects that are responsible for fighting and defending the group; male and female bee pupae that are responsible for reproducing offspring.
The scale of the insect population is gradually expanding, and their reproduction and growth cycle is undoubtedly rapid and short-lived. Whenever the mother bee pupa of the previous generation dies, a new generation of more mother bee pupae will inherit its mission of reproduction, carrying with it the mission of reproduction. Their descendants continue to expand the territory of the group's survival to the surrounding areas.
They were surrounded and exterminated by other creatures dozens of times, but each time they relied on the mother bee pupae that had been scattered around the world to develop and grow the race again.
In order to adapt to various extreme environments and threats from other life races, they began to actively try to create new descendants with various abilities.
Some worms can disguise themselves into the color of the surrounding environment; some worms can spit out various corrosive mucus; some worms simply adhere directly to the mother bee pupa as a backup food supply to store energy
Constant mutation and evolution are the most important characteristics for this race to continue to survive.
Even without the deliberate control and protection of Ye Xing and others, these insects can still break through numerous obstacles and work tirelessly to expand the territory of their race into countless desperate situations that would make their survival dangerous.
"Life will always find its own way to survive."
Ye Xing sighed lightly and strengthened his determination to create it.
Even if he uses up his last quota to breed gods, this race that can continue to evolve and develop as a war weapon must be firmly in his hands.
"You've done a great job, it still needs more.
The name bee chrysalis is not suitable for it. I would rather name it after "worm nest" in the future. ”
Ye Xing picked up the defenseless bee pupa and placed it in Gaia's hand, looking at her with encouragement.
Gaia's heart felt hot, she raised her chest and took a deep breath, feeling that her previous hard work was all worth it.
"Okay, let's put aside the matter of cultivating the "Insect Nest" for a while.
Let's study together, the new things Isis brought back this time. ”
Ye Xing knocked on the withered yellow leaves on the stone table, looked around at Moses and the others, the expressions on their faces were relaxed and happy.
