The Zerg's spaceship, which was filled with biomass, no, it was biomass itself, also broke out from thousands of meters underground.

In appearance, it looks a bit like a standard combat spaceship parasitized by Zerg, but it is also a bit similar to the Mule-class cargo ship.

It's just narrower, more streamlined, and has a more unique biological texture.

After it broke out of the ground, Chen Ming could see its biomass engine nozzle covered by a pitch-black shell emitting a unique gray-green tail flame mixed with some black impurities.

Following the empty jellyfish, they entered the space together.

The high heat generated by the friction between the biological spacecraft and the atmosphere cleans away the excess impurities on its body.

Chen Ming also saw its entire appearance clearly.

Except for the carapace of the tail nozzle, which is pitch black.

The rest of the biomass spacecraft's exterior carapace reflected an oily brown luster under the starlight and looked extremely hard.

The spaceship-grade Zerg shell, which is significantly different in appearance from the ordinary Zerg that Chen Ming has seen, is sufficient to support such a huge body to travel in space.

If we abandon Chen Ming's perception that this biomass spacecraft is a spacecraft.

So this should actually be the largest creature Chen Ming has ever seen.

The second largest is the Alturankong eel.

No matter which one it is, it has special value to him.

In the gaps between the shells of the biomass spacecraft, Chen Ming also saw some things similar to the acid spray nozzles of vesicular worms.

As long as the carapace opens slightly under the action of the muscles, an opening can be left for the acid to be ejected at will.

When Chen Ming was still in the space station, he knew that the acid of the vesicles could be used in space, so the acid on this biomass spacecraft could also be used.

However, the Zerg will definitely not directly attack the empty jellyfish with acid.

After all, if one accidentally kills the air jellyfish, too much of its psychic energy will dissipate, or the body tissues that contain psychic energy will be destroyed, which will be an absolutely unbearable loss for the Zerg.

Instead of using acid weapons, try other methods.

For example, what Chen Ming is seeing now, there are dozens of thick tentacles extending from the rear sides of the left and right sides of the biomass spacecraft.

Although the Zerg's spaceships are not on the same level as the air jellyfish in size, the biomass spaceships have the advantage in speed.

The five nozzles at the tail can provide it with acceleration that is difficult for an air jellyfish to achieve.

After accelerating for a while in space, it was about to come into contact with the empty jellyfish that had flown out earlier.

Its side tentacles were just about enough to capture the air jellyfish.

The air jellyfish, which was only three meters in diameter, had no ability to resist this giant organism that was over a hundred meters long.

It has left the atmosphere for some distance.

And that meant it was impossible to immediately turn around and go back to the planet and hide underground.

Therefore, Chen Ming's three cruisers that had hidden outside the galaxy in advance activated the jump function at the same time at this moment.

They instantly arrived in front of the biomass spacecraft, forming a triangle to block all its escape routes.

It’s just that Chen Ming is now facing the same problem as the Zerg.

He couldn't attack the biomass spaceship directly with weapons, as the consequences would be the same as if the Zerg had directly attacked the empty jellyfish with acid.

He had to find some other way to control the Zerg ship.

Chen Ming had obviously thought about what to do before he took action.

A huge amount of liquid metal suddenly appeared out of thin air on top of the Defender, gradually condensing into more than a dozen giant flexible mechanical arms connected to the hull.

It reached out to the biomass spacecraft that had braked suddenly in space due to the sudden appearance of three cruisers.

If there is no means of capture, then force it to be created.

In front of the kilometer-class cruisers, the Zerg spacecraft are a bit insignificant.

It is this scene that always makes Chen Ming feel like the big fish eats the small fish.

But it doesn't matter, what matters is that he completes his goal.

Just as the defenders were rapidly approaching the biomass spaceship and extending their dozens of robotic arms.

Chen Ming suddenly discovered that the biological spaceship in front of him had a wave that he was very familiar with, which would be emitted by the spaceship before entering hyperspace.

"Turtle."

Chen Ming muttered subconsciously.

Although he had previously guessed that the biomass spacecraft had such capabilities.

But now that he actually saw this scene, he still couldn't suppress his shock.

In addition to the air jellyfish, he knew many creatures that could enter the universe in the flesh.

But this was the first time he had seen the ability to enter hyperspace in the flesh and break through the barrier between the normal universe and hyperspace.

What kind of creatures are the Thorn Zerg?

The doubts in Chen Ming's mind did not affect his actions.

Rather, such questions made him even more impatient.

He immediately activated the blocking pulse generator.

This is a device that Chen Ming had purchased before for hunting pirates.

The effect is also very simple, blocking the spacecraft from using the hyperspace engine and preventing the spacecraft from entering hyperspace.

Although Chen Ming was not sure whether this thing could work against biological spacecraft, since he had already guessed that Zerg spacecraft had the ability to enter hyperspace, it would not be a wrong idea to use it now.

After all, the Zerg are now forcing their way into hyperspace inside the galaxy, risking falling into the star's gravity well and being burned to ashes by the star.

Chen Ming couldn't just watch the cooked duck fly away, he had to take action.

If blocking the pulse generator didn't work, he would have to use more radical and dangerous means.

Fortunately, the components or tissues on the biomass spacecraft that enable it to enter hyperspace were indeed affected by the blocking pulse.

Its entry into hyperspace was interrupted.

In addition, Chen Ming also prepared several blocking pulse generators. As long as the first blocking is successful, the Zerg will never have any chance to enter hyperspace again.

The next thing will be easy.

The Defender continued to approach the biomass spacecraft, and the robotic arm had blocked all its escape routes.

The defenders also launched many reinforced assault boats at the same time.

This was the manufacturing technology that Chen Ming had specially learned before, and then he also went to ask Baiquan about how to use the assault boat tactics.

Although now is not a good time to use the assault boat as Baiquan said.

However, this type of ship does not have a data cable to connect to the Afterglow Core.

Therefore, Chen Ming needs to go to the biomass spaceship in person, because it is necessary to clean up the risks on the biomass spaceship.

Even if the bugs were cleared away, it would still be dangerous for Chen Ming to touch the spacecraft personally, but it was still worth it for him.

However, the reinforced assault boats that were not used at the right time immediately ran into problems.

Because of the distance, the speedboat could not continue to accelerate and could not penetrate the Zerg's hard shell.

Fortunately, the impact is not significant.

The Defender's dozen giant robotic arms have captured the biomass spacecraft and locked it firmly above the Defender.

One of these dozen giant robotic arms was transformed by Chen Ming into a giant industrial drill that would only be used in a mining space station.

There is another one that he modified into an ultra-high-power mining laser.

However, Chen Ming did not dare to use the mining laser.

In order to avoid causing too much damage to the biomass spacecraft, he only dared to use a drill to drill an opening in the outer shell near the hollow cavity inside the biomass spacecraft based on the results of the highest point scan.

Then the robots in the speedboats parked outside were stuffed directly in.

These robots were all under Chen Ming's control and immediately began attacking the Zerg that were protecting the spacecraft inside the cavity of the biomass spacecraft.

A large number of robots that could not be completely eliminated and were not affected by the Zerg blood were cleaning the interior of the biological spacecraft like a group of mad dogs, leaving a trail of Zerg limbs and arms wherever they passed.

With the help of the Supreme Point's face-to-face high-power scanning, Chen Ming can completely eliminate all threats inside the entire biological spacecraft.

In the end, there was only one queen insect left in the entire biomass spaceship, which was in the center of the spaceship, still breeding insects and struggling desperately.

Since it has come to this, Chen Ming let the Defender tow the biomass spacecraft to land on the planet below.

Keep a considerable distance from the mechanical city to avoid unnecessary attacks.

And then, nothing happened.

The defenders had just destroyed the shell, creating conditions for the robot to break into the interior.

It will also destroy all external aggressive tissues that can launch an attack, including the acid spray outlets.

Only the Queen, the core of the biomass spacecraft, is still alive.

All other dangers have been eliminated.

Chen Ming left and followed the Defender to land at the highest point on the planet's surface.

He flew to the top of the Defender using the jet pack of the Locust Power Armor and reached out to touch the hull of the biomass spacecraft.

A familiar but slightly changed prompt appeared in front of him.

[Biomass spacecraft signal detected, do you want to connect? ]

Chen Ming clenched the fist of his other hand tightly, with an expression of surprise and relief on his face.

"Access."

A new panel appeared before his eyes.

[Biomass spaceship panel]

[Ship name: None]

[Type: Thorn Zerg Destroyer-class breeding ship]

[Consciousness: Thorn Zerg·Queen (alive)]

[Biomass reserves: 2%]

[Top biological weapons: medium acid spray capsule, small acid spray capsule * 3]

[Bottom biological weapons: medium acid spray sac, small acid spray sac * 3]

[Egg cultivation bag (port side): 100/100 (0)]

[Egg cultivation bag (starboard): 100/100 (0)]

[Biological Engine: Rigid Digestive Sac]

[Internal cavity: Queen insect host cavity, giant storage cavity, egg cultivation cavity, digestion cavity, waste accumulation cavity]

[Key tissues: aggregated nerve center nodes, neural circuit network, beating heart, fluid circulation tissue network, biomass main stem, hyperspace stable connective tissue, loose muscle bundles, neural pain inhibition tissue, giant Zerg compound eyes]

Although the entire panel looks a bit complicated, its overall structure remains similar to that of an ordinary spaceship.

It's easier to understand if you deconstruct it a little.

This biomass spacecraft is viewed from the inside out.

The first is the core Queen, who is also the brain of the entire biomass spacecraft.

The Queen's appearance is... a bit ugly.

It is a parasite-like thing connected to the flesh and blood tissue inside the biological spacecraft.

The whole body is both thin and bloated.

What is bloated is its brain and Zerg egg-laying organs, and what is thin is all the other body tissues in its body.

This extreme composition makes it impossible for the Queen of Insects to look good.

But this appearance can meet all the needs of the Queen and everything it needs to do.

Outside the Queen Worm is the [Queen Worm Hosting Cavity], which is protected within the myocardial tissue of the [beating heart] of this biomass spacecraft.

It can be said to be the safest place on the entire biological spacecraft.

Outside the heart are various tissue structures that maintain the normal survival of this biomass spacecraft.

It includes the [aggregate neural center node] with functions similar to the control panel, and the [neural circuit network] similar to the various circuits inside Chen Ming's spacecraft.

The [fluid circulatory tissue network] that provides biological circulation for the entire spacecraft, including blood and other biological fluids.

Another most critical thing is the "spinal nerve" that extends from the beating heart and completely connects the entire biological spacecraft, which is the [biomass main stem].

In addition, some other biological cavities, such as the [giant storage cavity] that can store various nutrients, biomass and captured food, are distributed around the main stem of the biomass along with some other scattered things.

For example, the tentacles that Chen Ming had seen before, extending outside the biomass spacecraft.

These are the loose muscle bundles, which are tissues differentiated from the end of the main stem of the biomass.

It is usually retracted inside the shell, but can be extended when necessary, just like it did just now when it was about to capture the jellyfish.

However, the more critical role of loose muscle bundles is not here.

Its muscle surface has many fine pores.

The biomass spacecraft can use the [rigid digestive sac] to digest various fuels and convert the fuels into bioenergy. The heat generated can be dissipated through these muscle bundles.

Its main function is to dissipate heat.

Although the efficiency of heat dissipation in space is not very high, it is better than nothing.

Outside these internal tissues and cavities is the biomass spacecraft's tough and solid Zerg muscle tissue, and the Zerg carapace that protects the muscle tissue.

There are also biological weapons [acid spray sacs] distributed between muscle tissues and hidden under the shell.

However, there is one special thing that Chen Ming thinks should be included in the biological weapons column.

In addition to being distributed inside the spacecraft, there are also very special cavities [insect egg cultivation chambers] distributed on the sides of the biological spacecraft.

Inside the cavity, there are hundreds of neatly arranged insect egg cultivation sacs, each of which contains a semi-mature insect. With a little cultivation, it can have a certain combat effectiveness.

These things... seem to be Zerg fighter planes.

It should be something like this.

Chen Ming thought about it and felt that it was quite reasonable.

After all, the Zerg haven't seemed to have evolved any powerful biological weapons yet, only pure acid.

Although the acid is very effective and enough to corrode sky steel, the nature of the acid itself determines that it is not very effective. Its bullet speed in space may not even be comparable to many civilian weapons.

Then just combine biological weapons and biological fighter planes.

As long as the Zerg bred by the Queen can get close to the enemy's spacecraft, the problem of the slow speed of acid weapons will be solved.

They can even use acid to corrode the armor of a spacecraft directly, thus achieving the effect of boarding the spacecraft.

The Zerg have an extremely fast reproduction rate, excellent close combat capabilities, and no fear of death. In boarding operations, they feel more powerful than robots.

Chen Ming remembered that when the Supreme Point first scanned the biomass spacecraft, there seemed to be no such bugs.

It seems that after the biological spacecraft was captured and lost its ability to resist, the queen insect inside forcibly consumed most of the results of biomass cultivation.

But before it could release these "Zerg fighters", the entire biomass spacecraft was controlled by Chen Ming.

In short, these things together constitute everything of this biomass spacecraft from the inside out.

While controlling the biological spacecraft and understanding it through the panel, Chen Ming also slowly walked around it.

Although this biological spaceship is inferior to ordinary military combat destroyers, the potential it possesses is unattainable by any other spaceship.

In addition, Chen Ming also discovered that under the Zerg carapace on the side and tail of the biological spacecraft, there was a door leading to the interior of the spacecraft that was closed by spiral muscle tissue.

If Chen Ming guessed correctly, this should be a door composed of a muscle tissue structure similar to a sphincter.

So Chen Ming decisively gave up going through the sphincter door at the tail of the biological spacecraft and chose to enter the biological spacecraft from the side.

He had anticipated this possibility the moment he realized the Zerg had biomass ships.

Therefore, he had already adjusted his mentality, and was not affected at all when he walked through the sphincter door and entered the interior of the biological spacecraft.

Anyway, he had already experienced the sky steel smelted from air fish shit, so a sphincter gate was nothing.

After entering the Zerg's cavity, Chen Ming could see a large number of egg breeding sacs everywhere, which were urgently cultivated by the Queen Zerg when she was forced into a corner.

There are many adult insects wrapped in vesicles suspended in it, and they have different uses, such as fighting, transportation, cultivation, maintenance and so on.

But now, their only function is to be reabsorbed by the Queen Insect and converted back into biomass to sustain the survival of the biological spacecraft.

After all, the Queen Insect had been controlled by Chen Ming and had calmed down.

Then after losing the enemy, survival becomes its first priority.

In addition to these reabsorbed breeding capsules, there were also many corpses of Zerg that were killed by the mechanical race that Chen Ming had just sent in, and they were being dragged to the tail of the biological spacecraft by some worker insects that had just been bred by the Queen of Zerg.

There are giant storage cavities and rigid digestive sacs that are then also reabsorbed.

However, Chen Ming's target was not there. He confirmed it based on the three-dimensional imaging on the panel of the biomass spacecraft, and then stepped towards the location of the beating heart of the biomass spacecraft, which was where the queen insect was.

The beating heart doesn't beat very fast, beating once every five minutes or so, bringing a roar that spreads throughout the biomass spacecraft.

The roar is not too loud overall, but rather low, so once you get used to it it won't have any impact unless you pay special attention to it.

Chen Ming quickly came near the beating heart and could see that the inside and outside of the heart and the queen insect inside were all protected by extremely thick Zerg shells that were almost the same as the outside of the biological spacecraft.

And the ugly queen worm in the heart was emitting a sense of familiarity towards him, the core of the hive mind.

The Queen Insect controlled by Chen Ming, like the mechanical creatures he controlled, created a new hive mind network with him as the core to provide him with mental support.

Moreover, the two hive mind networks are independent and do not affect each other at all.

But Chen Ming discovered a problem.

It's true that the Zerg are a hive mind, it's also true that a hive mind network has been built with him as the core, and it's also true that he can be provided with the mental power bonus of the hive network mind.

But after he took control of this biological spaceship, the only insects connected to the Zerg hive mind network centered on him were the Queen and the insects bred after the Queen was controlled.

Those insects that had been bred before the Queen of Insects was controlled were not connected to Chen Ming's thinking network.

It also includes the bugs that are still on the planet and underground.

This problem forced Chen Ming to take it seriously.

He immediately observed the bugs that were not in the hive consciousness.

Found that there seems to be no big problem.

The Zerg rely not only on the hive network but also on the exchange of pheromones to communicate with each other.

The Queen Insect's pheromones have not changed, so these insects will not escape the Queen Insect's control, but will not provide Chen Ming with the bonus of the honeycomb network.

Then Chen Ming was no longer worried, as he had already thought of a solution and would implement it when he had time.

For some reason, Chen Ming subconsciously reached out and touched the ugly big head of the queen insect.

The queen's carapace feels as smooth as it looks.

Once you get used to its appearance, it's quite comfortable to touch.

But suddenly, the shell on the queen insect's head opened slightly, and a thick white nerve extended out and stopped in front of Chen Ming.

Chen Ming immediately understood what the Queen Insect meant through the hive mind network.

This is a special way of neural connection between Zerg, which enables rapid information exchange.

And Chen Ming does not need to find a way to get his nerve out. As long as bioelectric signals are exchanged between him and the nerve, the neural connection can be established.

Chen Ming was a little hesitant, but the hesitation soon disappeared.

The bio-ship was under his control, and his psychic powers would ensure his safety.

The moment Chen Ming grasped this thick nerve, he seemed to have transformed himself into the consciousness of the biological spacecraft.

Then, the message that the biological spaceship's consciousness wanted to express came to his mind: "Eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat..."

"?"

Chen Ming subconsciously loosened his hand that was holding the thick nerve.

Just now he seemed to feel a strange thought in his mind.

Chen Ming held it again with some uncertainty, and the consciousness of the biological spacecraft came over again: "Evolution, evolution, evolution, evolution, evolution..."

"???"

Chen Ming loosened his hand again, communicated briefly with the Queen Insect through the hive mind network, and then held her hand again.

It's normal this time.

Chen Ming successfully read the memories inside the memory box in the Queen Insect's brain that stores memories.

At this moment, Chen Ming seemed to have returned to the moment half a year ago when he was still on the abandoned mining space station.

No, even earlier.

It was the moment when the Thorn Zerg were dropped onto the mining space station.
