Chapter 167: Mechanical Ascension, the Plan to Kill the King Spine Worm
“The Human King…”
“The capable one lives there…”
Lin Feng murmured Muttering to himself...
It sounds very tempting.
When he saw Lin Feng's thoughtful look, the corner of his mouth raised slightly:
"You humans have great genetic potential, especially in terms of spirituality. In the future, many high-level powerful people with artistic conception may evolve... ..."
"But the evolutionary process of the human race is still too short. If you take the shortcut of mechanical evolution, you will have to wait at least a thousand years before you return to the right path and start your individual evolution and awakening."
“As for now, the accumulated gene storage is not rich, so you need to absorb more from other races and eventually form your own gene pool.”
“And this , it will also have to go through a long period of integration and evolution.”
"Otherwise, they will be just like genetic warriors and samurai insect hunters. They are just deformed monsters that are forcibly stitched together."
"Although it is fast, there will be more disadvantages in the future."
Lin Feng frowned slightly:
"Is there no race in this universe that follows other evolutionary routes?"
"For example, the mechanical ascension you just mentioned..."
The corners of Zhiyi's raised lips turned into a sneer:
"Why not? But most of them are losers in StarCraft, so they would give up their flesh and blood bodies and use their mechanical bodies as vassals of the strong to survive. Go down."
Lin Feng was stunned. In his understanding, the mechanical ascension was very powerful, and its lethality and troop explosion speed were no worse than those of the Zerg.
In Lin Feng's future plan, Chen Yanyan can follow such an evolutionary path, and with her mechanical pioneer ability, she can control the entire fleet in the future and become a true queen of war.
But now in the mouth of Chiyi, it seems that the strength and status of the mechanical body are extremely low in the context of the universe...
So he opened his mouth and asked:
"This... how is this possible? The manufacturing speed of mechanical assembly line factories is much faster than the cultivation of flesh and blood life. Even if it is as powerful as your Zerg biological mother nest, it cannot compare. The productivity of mechanical factories. ”
“Moreover, their energy consumption is much lower than that of living organisms. When they are not active, they can cut off the power supply and enter a standby state, which will require less energy.”
"With the same resources, the combat strength of mechanical ascension is definitely stronger than that of flesh and blood evolution."
Looking at Lin Feng with an incredulous look on his face, he snorted and followed his words and continued:< br>
"You also know that the mechanical body consumes very little energy. If the whole family ascends, it can survive until the day the origin galaxy is destroyed."
"But there are two types of races that choose this path. The ending. The first is the consciousness of the whole family, which is uploaded into the program of the online world. According to us, it is the spirit body in the artificial realm. "
"If this continues, the result of evolution and development will only become a planet. A circle of computer matrices underground, or in alien orbits, serve as carriers of consciousness. "
"They no longer have access to external information, and the internal spirits will also pass over time, and the programs will continue to malfunction and eventually die. , so what’s the difference between this and death?”
“As for the second type, the transformation of the flesh and blood body into a mechanical body, and the formation of a mechanical army, which is probably the fleet under your command. Looks like..."
"But here comes the problem. There is no shortage of strong people in this universe. Basically, those who can colonize alien planets are races with life in the universe. And for the strong people in the universe, even nuclear bombs can hardly damage them. "
"As for tearing apart large mechas and mechanical life with bare hands, that's no big deal."
Speaking of this, Zhiyi stretched out his hand again and pointed at the nearby primitive planet:
“Look at this artistic conception world, it requires a very high energy density to condense and maintain.”
“And to give birth to artistic conception, or even the future divine realm, an even greater amount of entropy is needed. Reduce the environment to maintain order and stability. ”
"The flesh-and-blood body that consumes a lot of energy is the best carrier to stimulate the life state. You also mentioned above that the demand for energy will be greatly reduced after mechanical transformation..."
"So correspondingly, this There is no mechanical race in the universe that can give birth to existences of fourth level and above. "
"Of course, some galaxies are located in remote locations, and even if fourth level life has evolved, certain measures will be taken to reduce the energy consumption for survival. "But it is not like what you said. The entire race uses machines as its carrier and chips as its soul. It is to refuse to integrate into the universe, and its destiny will naturally be different." We can only stand on our own laurels, causing the entire civilization to stagnate. "
"Unable to form an evolutionary path of qualitative change, no matter how many there are, they will be swallowed up by the entropy of the cold universe and eventually turn into decay... …”
After listening to Zhiyi's theory, Lin Feng was deeply shocked. It turned out that the underlying logic behind this was to use his own entropy decrease to counteract the entropy increase of the entire universe.
The process of entropy reduction is to evolve the brain tissue that consumes the most energy, give birth to spiritual consciousness, condense artistic conception, and finally upgrade it to a domain.
It is also the realm of God that has been mentioned in the mouth of the cockroach.
Reminiscent of the Insect's Hive Mind Divine Realm that she used to use the secret technique of artistic conception to summon...
Although I later heard from her introduction that the Void Divine Realm was less than one ten thousandth of the complete body. Divine power.
However, Lin Feng's thousands of spiritual attributes that had already broken through the limit were still as small as dust in the wind in front of him, too small to be noticed.
Perhaps only fourth-level beings who fully grasp the artistic conception are qualified to become ants in the eyes of the gods.
As for mechanical civilization, it can only quickly sweep away the primitive races that are still developing on the planet. Looking at the universe, just as Chi Yi said,
The future of civilization can already be seen at a glance. What's the difference between death and death...
Sighing softly, Lin Feng felt more and more deeply from the plain and ironic narrative of Zhi Yi that the universe preys on the weak.
And when he walked through the black stone area with mixed emotions and arrived near the foot of the volcano, the scene of the sulfur hot springs appeared in front of them.
“Why didn’t you see the black spine worms and tiger spine worms mentioned by the awakened ones along the way?”
Lin Feng looked around, but didn’t find any living creatures. All that was nearby was the gurgling sound of poisonous bubbles rising from the volcano's geothermal heat.
But this volcano is very big, seven or eight kilometers wide.
It is like a small island in the plate earthquake zone on the blue star ocean.
Zhi glanced at a large piece of volcanic stone:
"They were all probably killed by Shen Jie. Every time he dies and is reborn, it means starting over from scratch. He has to build up his strength again before he can reach the top and challenge the King Insect." "
"I feel a stronger killing atmosphere there, go and take a look and be prepared."
Lin Feng knew that she had something to say in case Shen Jie fell into madness. If you lose yourself in this state, you are likely to attack indiscriminately without distinguishing between friend and foe.
The first batch of soldiers undergoing the second awakening encountered this situation. Although they solved the pursuit of the insect tide with the help of Shen Jie, they also died of his madness later.
Once this happens, Lin Feng must prepare in advance to control Shen Jie who has lost himself, and at the same time protect Zhiyi from harm.
Danger is approaching, and this time it is Lin Feng who takes the lead.
Zhiyi followed closely, with a slightly nervous expression. In order to maintain the spiritual channel, she needed to disperse her spiritual power, which made her most severely weakened in the killing mood. It was even difficult to control the tiger affected by the killing. Ridgeworm.
Soon, after bypassing a hot spring lake, the two saw a pile of second-order tiger spine worm corpses behind the gray-black volcanic rocks.
Their torsos were hollowed out, leaving only the hardest giant jaws and fleshless four legs.
The insect corpses were piled up one after another, filling an area as big as a football field. At a glance, it was roughly estimated that there were more than forty or fifty...
There was also a pile of black spine worms discarded outside. .
“There!”
Before Lin Feng could carefully observe the appearance of the primitive spine worm, the voice of Chi Yi came directly and pointed to the opposite side in the distance.
Lin Feng clenched the tiger-tooth chain sword in his hand, always keeping vigilant and stepping forward cautiously.
After he could see a black shadow, he stopped and used the electromagnetic gun in his left hand and the tiger-toothed chain sword in his right hand. He shouted a powerful call:
"Shen Jie! Is that you!?" That black man Ying was lying on a tiger spine insect that was struggling to death. After hearing the call from behind, he slowly stood up and turned his head. A head with a giant jaw of a spine insect, and a face with Zerg flesh and blood around the mouthparts, shockingly Appeared in front of the two of them.
The electromagnetic gun in Lin Feng's hand has been aimed and locked. As long as the opponent comes to attack, he will first use the magnetic blast bomb to restrict its movement, and then use the chain sword to complete the suppression. .
However, the humanoid insect that saw the two of them did not launch an attack. Instead, it stayed where it was. After being stunned for a while, it began to gesture with its hands, and at the same time a hoarse whimpering sound came from the giant jaw.
Seeing this, Lin Feng turned his head and looked at Xiezi. After seeing the other party nodding, he stepped forward.
However, the weapons and equipment in his hands did not relax.
The alert cannot be lifted yet.
It wasn't until the two of them walked twenty meters in front of the insect man that Lin Feng confirmed from the other person's specific appearance that the insect man in front of him was Shen Jie.
Because its current form is quite similar to Shen Jie's Black Warrior.
Although there is the influence of the original genes of the spine worm, it does not look as ferocious and terrifying as in reality, but the lines of the outer armor and the bone blades on the arm sides have not changed much.
“Are you conscious?”
Lin Feng frowned slightly and asked.
Shen Jie nodded, and then pointed to the huge black jaw on his face, meaning that he couldn't speak.
Lin Feng looked at Chi Yi beside him:
"Can it be solved? Doesn't your concept of infinite reproduction control gene fusion and separation?"
After nodding, the cricket stepped forward and came to the feet of the insect man.
At this moment, Shen Jie was three meters tall, and the cockroach, which was less than 1.7 meters tall, looked like a little doll in front of him.
As soon as Zhiyi put her hand on Shen Jie, a strange golden light was seen flowing from her hand into the insect man's outer armor.
“I won’t go to other places yet, so as not to remove too much and affect the combat effectiveness.”
While controlling it, Zhiyi said something.
Then the giant jaw covering Shen Jie's entire face slowly fell off, with traces of blood and mucus still attached.
On Shen Jie's original face, a thin layer of skin was peeled off, but fortunately the deep layers were not damaged, and the red face was repaired by its self-healing power and quickly returned to its original state.
Then he turned blue, bent over and retched a few times, and after vomiting out some Zerg-like organs, he regained consciousness and spoke in a human voice:
"Finally... finally able to speak..."
Lin Feng put away his weapon and stepped forward:
"When did it become like this?"
A trace of confusion flashed in Shen Jie's eyes, he thought for a moment, and replied:
"Big... About half a month ago, after sending away the third batch of second-awakening warriors, I have been hunting tiger spine insects. Unknowingly, the assimilation of Zerg genes changed the internal organs until something happened. When I realized it, my throat was no longer able to speak."
"The main reason is that I can't use it. In the past few months, apart from chatting with the soldiers, I can only talk to myself at other times. .”
Lin Feng nodded. It seemed that the lonely life in the artistic conception must be difficult.
"You...why are you here?"
After adapting to the normal human state, Shen Jie then remembered that the appearance of Lin Feng and the two was not normal.
Lin Feng coughed lightly and briefly explained the situation, including the one-month countdown and the fact that this was Shen Jie's last chance.
After listening, Shen Jie was not worried or distressed. Instead, he showed an expression of relief and then cheered up:
"Very good..."
"If I do it again, I probably won't be able to hold on anymore. Let's get to know each other while I have your help this time!"
Said, Shen Jie stood up and looked up at the towering volcano in front of him with a firm gaze:
"Life or death depends on this life!"
Lin Feng nodded and spoke. Ask for relevant information:
"How many times have you been there?"
"How much do you know about the strength of the king spine worm?"
Shen Jie thought for a while:
"Twice . The first time I had no experience, I yelled towards the crater and was stabbed by the king spine insect. The second time I had experience, I thought of other ways and climbed to the edge of the crater in full strength. He drew out the king spine worm inside and escaped the attack of the sharp legs. In the end, it was directly knocked away several kilometers away by its giant jaws. His whole body was covered with shattered fractures and he was unable to move. He was devoured by the black spine worm..."
“The high-level king spine worm is very powerful, mainly because there is no way to break its defense. Just like the second-level peak tiger spine worm in the underground hatching nest, the artillery can only scratch it, and you have to use the tiger teeth. A chainsword will do.”
After hearing his tragic experience, Lin Feng could already imagine the hopeless feeling of powerlessness.
Then he sighed and looked to the side:
“Do you have any information about this?”
“Breaking through the outer armor’s defense is only the first step. Right?”
The cricket nodded:
"Yes, breaking through the outer armor defense is only the most basic, proving that we can have a chance to hurt it."
"But if we want to kill it completely, the first thing we must solve is it!"
Following the direction pointed by Zhiyi, Lin Feng and Shen Jie turned around and saw the majestic volcano in front of them.
Lin Feng reacted quickly and asked in disbelief:
“You mean to destroy the entire volcano and destroy the habitat of the king spine worm?”
Chiyi affirmed very seriously:
"Of course. Active volcanoes rich in heat are the best habitat for the king spine worm. It can absorb the energy and use it for its own use, and as long as it stays in the volcano In the lava, it is invincible. Even if it is seriously injured by a severed limb, it can quickly repair itself."
"Luring it out of the crater is far more difficult than destroying the entire volcano. "
"So what we have to do is to detonate this active volcano that has long been unable to hold back, and have a volcanic eruption!"
"Detonate the entire artistic conception! ”
"At that time, the king spine insect will be injured by the violent energy released by the volcanic explosion. Killing a high-level king spine insect with residual health will be easier than facing it in its peak state!"
Listen Lin Feng and Shen Jie both had expressions of disbelief when they saw Zhi Yi's shocking plan.
Lin Feng took a deep breath, raised the gun with his left hand and pointed it at the waist of the active volcano:
"Are you sure you are doing this... after the volcano erupts, the entire artistic conception... won't collapse instantly?"
Chochi shrugged his shoulders and said nothing:
"Yes..."
After admitting directly, he then pointed at Shen Jie and continued:
"But as long as he is still alive, the speed of the collapse will slow down, and it will probably last for a period of time. Less than an hour."
"This is our chance!"
"Don't look at me like this, you are so weak, especially you, Shen Jie. There are also dozens of second-level peak tiger spine worms, and they start the high-level artistic conception trial together. Here, they will first have a round of fighting to determine the winner, and finally challenge the king spine worm together. Which one wins, naturally Will become the new king insect”
"As for you, who is half human and half insect, your mental strength is enough to activate the artistic conception trial, but you happened to encounter the life and death crisis in the underground brood, so you accidentally activated it..."
"So, do it now. Let's make a choice..."
"It's a step-by-step method of climbing mountains and killing monsters, but the final winning rate is less than 30%!"
"It's better to follow my advice..."
"Destroy the world of artistic conception, reduce the difficulty of the trial, and finally give it a try. In this way, you can have at least a 70% winning rate!"
After saying that, Zhi Yi and Lin Feng...
looked at Shen Jie at the same time.
