Chapter 127

[Gene activity repair fluid], [Force field protection], [Biosphere reconstruction].

Qi Heng glanced at the three repaired technologies.

Active repair fluid that can repair damaged and defective genes is very useful. It can also provide defense, shielding, and interception of attacks within the force field. Its maximum coverage range can range from cities to planets.

The final biosphere reconstruction technology is mainly used to transform habitable planets. It can transform some Earth-like planets with uninhabitable environments into habitable planets.

Any one of these technologies would cause lower-level civilizations to scramble for it, but for Qi Heng, the following rewards were more attractive.

[3: Choose one talent from the following racial talents to activate: [Regeneration], [Reinforcement], [Psychic Perception], [Five Senses], [Speed], [Wisdom]... (Note: This selection applies to all Tianjia Zerg, and is effective only in the area controlled by the Lord of Tianjia Civilization.)]

This kind of direct reward was not the first time Qi Heng had seen it.

From level zero civilization to level six civilization, it has appeared three times in total. This time is the fourth time he has seen it.

The hundreds of races in the galaxy are constantly evolving as their civilizations continue to develop. The long years of evolution have allowed different civilized races to gradually show talents that are unique to their races - different from the talents that individuals may possess, this type of talent basically covers the entire race.

Only this kind of talent can be called a racial talent.

Therefore, as long as Qi Heng chooses one of the racial talents given by the system, it will be covered on all Tianjia Zerg.

[Regeneration], [Strength], [Telepathy], [Five Senses], [Speed], [Wisdom]... These talents are too familiar. They have all appeared in the evolution of the Tianjia Zerg. Some have been fixed as racial talents, while others have been turned into recessive genes that may not necessarily be expressed.

He originally thought that the Overlord was just a mascot, but he never expected that the Tianjia Zerg actually developed and existed with the Overlord as its center, just like the original Zerg existed for the Commander.

...randomly adjust the talents of a race. It seems that it is said above that you can influence them through yourself, but how exactly do you influence them?

No one could answer the doubts in Qi Heng's mind, not even the system's AI, A0.

"My leaving the game means that 'Dominion' disappears. Will the disappearance of 'Dominion' also cause the influence brought by 'Dominion' to disappear?" He muttered to himself.

If this speculation is true, then the situation faced by the Tianjia Zerg back then was even more difficult than he imagined.

Even though he knew it was pointless to think too much now, Qi Heng still couldn't help but want to think.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them again, quickly browsing through the hundreds of talents in front of him. Next to these talents was another page that displayed the biological genetic evolution tree of the Tianjia Zerg.

Unlike the previously seen trees with numerous illuminated branches and twigs, the 'tree' before him had been reduced to a blank slate following the fall of the Tianjia civilization. Numerous individual talents appeared unlit in an off-white color, with only a few initial icons lit at the root.

All the original racial talents of the Tianjia Zerg on the main trunk disappeared, leaving only a few bare spaces.

Qi Heng's mind raced. In the current situation, [Regeneration] was the most appropriate choice. The characteristic of regeneration was that short limbs could be regenerated after obtaining enough energy - but [Regeneration] was actually the most useless talent.

With the Tianjia civilization's scientific research capabilities, the technology for regenerating missing limbs had already reached civilian use. Losing a limb, a broken leg, or a torn wing wasn't a big deal; any hospital could provide treatment.

That's why he never considered choosing [Regeneration] as a racial talent back then.

Racial talent is just one of the powerful advantages of the Tianjia Zerg - as long as the talent has appeared before, the probability of appearing will be greatly increased after being lit up. Even if it is still in an unlit gray-white state, it does not mean that it has disappeared.

Therefore, as long as the base number of the Tianjia Zerg is large enough, there will definitely be Tianjia Zerg born with the talent of [regeneration].

Qi Heng was a little hesitant. There were not many opportunities to make a choice without consuming energy points. If he missed this time, he didn't know when he would have the next chance.

With the [Biological Gene Evolution Tree], you can actually light up [Regeneration] first, and then expand the range of influence and the probability of appearance by inputting energy points... Except that the effect is slightly worse, everything else is the same.

He lowered his eyes in thought.

I need to think about this point again. It is true that [Regeneration] can regenerate insect wings, but now I have no way to guarantee that after the talent of [Regeneration] spreads to all Zergs, they will absorb the energy to give birth to insect wings at one time.

Unlike a system that absorbs all energy, the energy of [regeneration] refers to the power of the Zerg itself, that is, star power.

...The little star power that the current Tianjia Zerg are cultivating is not even enough to be considered entry-level. There is no star power to support the regeneration of insect wings.

[4: You can choose a Star Wars skill and a Spiritual Magic to perform a deduction and upgrade (this is free).]

Qi Heng's gaze fell on the last line.

A deduction and upgrade of star warfare skills and spiritual magic is also a reward that cannot be used now, but it cannot be said to be useless.

Ten thousand years have passed, and the current interstellar civilization has probably made countless innovations in its research on star warfare skills and spiritual magic. The past information stored in the system database may have become outdated.

He leaned back in his chair and looked at the thousand or so energy points remaining in the system.

Although the tool bugs were used to develop a C-level resource nest, relying on crystal ore to replenish the system's energy points was not a solution.

In fact, it's not just the system, it's the same on Qi Lan's side.

The energy points required by the system can be converted using energy, and Qi Lan can also directly absorb energy when producing the original Zerg.

For Qi Lan, the difference between the two is probably the difference between gourmet food and ordinary food. Crystal ore is a gourmet food, and energy produced by technology is ordinary food.

Primary civilizations used electricity and nuclear energy, but the energy they could generate was a drop in the bucket for the system and Qi Lan. Intermediate and advanced civilizations could utilize antimatter, dark matter, and even directly burn stars to extract energy.

In the game, stars are eaten by the commander. 'Eat' is a literal meaning. When the energy of the star is completely absorbed, it will become darker and colder... and eventually die.

Of course, the system also consumed a lot.

Even the central star field of the Tianjia civilization, that is, the star system where the nine planets including Tianjia are located, has built a large energy transmission center. The final destination of this energy is the palace where the "Master" is located.

They will eventually be integrated into the system and become 'energy reserves' used by Qi Heng's men to build civilization.

Qi Heng now misses the one-stop energy collection and transmission network built in the past. He knows that a large one cannot be built at present, but it does not prevent him from coming up with the idea of ​​building a smaller energy supply station.

Bases 1, 2, and 3 all utilize controlled nuclear fusion reactors. If we can find a way to modify one of them, the energy generated could significantly supplement the system... as long as we continue to inject fuel...

[Your Excellency, the 'Golden Eagle' drone has been completed.]

A0's voice interrupted his thoughts.

“A1.”

A1 immediately responded: [Master, may I ask what you may have for me?]

"The Golden Eagle drone was created to work with the QW-1 system. Like the QW-1 system, you are responsible for its management."

【yes. 】

Under his order, A0 transferred the first-level authority of this batch of drones, which is also the highest authority except for the Overlord.

"Deploy all the 'Golden Eagles' outside the aircraft, with one module matching one 'Golden Eagle'. At the same time, after they are in place, activate the network access function of QW-1... and connect with the devices marked with the 'Gray Fog'..." Qi Heng gave orders in an orderly manner.

He just started the QW-1 system and did not enable the external device access function.

【Received, executing your instructions immediately.】

The aircraft hovered about three hundred meters above the wilderness. After A0 launched the drones manufactured in space, dozens of majestic-looking 'golden eagles' immediately appeared in the night sky.

They spread their wings and float in the air. Each of them has a streamlined body that is meticulously crafted, with a beauty unique to technological civilization.

——When the sun rises and the sunlight shines on their silvery-white metal bodies, reflecting golden light, they shine just like their name.

***

Dead egg pit.

Four underground floors.

Chu Xiu didn't look away until he could no longer see Qi Heng's back. He let out a light breath and walked down the stairs.

Your Majesty...you are still the same as before...you haven't changed.

The little bug was lying on top of Qi Lan's head, held high by Qi Lan's head.

Qi Lan howled twice, very angry: "Don't cover my eyes, I can't see..."

The little bug's excited voice responded to Qi Lan, but it wasn't him.

"Father--" The little bug looked at the person walking towards him, and immediately let go of his hand and rushed forward impatiently.

"Be careful." Chu Xiu opened his arms and narrowly caught the little bug.

"Hehe, I know the female father will definitely catch me." The little bug lay in his arms, rubbed against his chest, and kissed his cheek affectionately.

Qi Lan, who was standing aside, breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Chu Xiu. He felt relieved after leaving the brat to him.

“Ouch.”

"I'll leave it to you. I'll go up first." Qi Lan pointed the tip of his tail at the platform and then at the little bug in his arms.

Chu Xiu nodded slightly to Qi Lan, lowered his head and warned the little bug in his arms: "Even so, be careful, understand."

"Yeah." The little bug responded while looking around. Not seeing the male father, he asked with some disappointment, "Female father, where is the male father? Isn't he with you?"

"He has something to do, so he left first." Chu Xiu rubbed the little head of the insect cub in his arms.

The little bug pouted: "Hey, hey, hey, but Xiong Dad didn't even say goodbye to me. I still have something to say to Xiong Dad."

"What do you want to say to him?"

"Well, nothing." The little bug hesitated and decided not to say anything.

If I tell my father-in-law that I want to follow him, he will definitely not agree.

Chu Xiu raised the corner of his mouth and flicked the little bug cub's forehead, "Can't tell the female father?"

"Hehe." The little bug opened its eyes wide and tried to get away with it by acting cute.

"You can't cause trouble for your father, understand."

"Yeah." The little bug nodded with a look of 'I'm very well behaved' on his face, and said coquettishly, "Father, you said you would accompany me today."

"I want to go out and play today. Can you accompany me?"

Chu Xiu sighed and said, "Do you really want to go out so much?"

He knew the little bug had been here since it hatched, so it was normal for it to be curious about the outside world and want to get out. In fact, staying underground for such a long time was not easy for such a lively and active bug.

On this point, Qi Heng and Chu Xiu had the same idea - they were both worried about letting the original Zerg take the little Zerg cubs out to play.

The little bug had the same soft, fluffy black hair as his father, with slightly curled ends sticking to his temples. He tilted his head back and spoke in a soft voice that made it difficult for Chu Xiu to refuse.

"It's so boring here. There's no one to communicate with except my brother."

On the platform, Qi Lan, who was chewing the crystal ore, tilted his head.

The original Zerg had brains, but they were useless. Except for a few special Zerg that could think based on group consciousness, the other tools had no concept of "thinking".

The only one who can communicate is the commander of the original Zerg.

As the empire's governor, Chu Xiu knew this very well.

...Those who know this are a minority in the Tianjia civilization. The outside world believes that the original Zerg have no self-will, but in fact they have one and only one self-will...With only one communication partner, even adults will feel lonely and bored, not to mention the Zerg cubs who are in their most active period.

Chu Xiu looked at the little bug that was looking at him with anticipation and felt a little headache. How could he refuse?

"I can take you out, but..."

Before he could finish, the little bug replied, "I know, be obedient!"

Chu Xiu walked out holding the little bug cub.

"Yeah, yeah, we can go out and play now—" The little bug cub twisted happily in his arms.

Chu Xiu was a little amused, but after thinking about it, he just let him be.

Going out of the passage, he did not choose the passages leading to the dungeon or the wilderness, but chose the one that the Excellency took when he left.

He also wanted to know what the outside world looked like.
