Three days later in the morning.
Chen Ming glanced at the Queen Worm as usual.
The appearance of the piece of meat that had been cultivated a few days ago had changed significantly.
The original messy muscle tissue and redundant scales and wings have all disappeared, and the entire piece of meat is wrapped in a new shell that combines the advantages of the Zerg shell and the Aurora Wind Spirit scales.
It looks much better than it did a few days ago.
Apparently the survivability of this sample has been improved after yesterday's deep patching.
The Queen Insect also noticed that Chen Ming was paying attention to this side. It immediately controlled the unique organ on the piece of meat that was derived from the Aurora Wind Spirit gene, and produced a large amount of plasma around the piece of meat.
In the brightly colored plasma, the intact piece of meat formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding environment covered by the Queen's fungal blanket which was constantly being destroyed by plasma.
Chen Ming also noticed that the plasma existed around the meat at a very high density.
However, the shells on the meat piece cannot completely protect it, so some muscle tissue and mucous membrane tissue are still directly exposed to the plasma.
But even so, the plasma did not cause any harm to the meat.
This situation clearly told Chen Ming that not only the outer shell, but all other tissues of this piece of meat also had a certain degree of plasma resistance.
The Queen Zerg continued to conduct tests on the piece of meat in front of Chen Ming, including but not limited to crushing with heavy objects, corrosion by strong acids and alkalis, explosion of unstable energy crystals, and various Zerg attack methods.
It can be seen that the most basic physical strength of these organizations has also been strengthened to the extreme.
Chen Ming’s efforts over the past few days have not been in vain.
It not only maintains the original resistance to plasma, but also possesses stronger resistance to other attacks. This is the evolution after gene fusion.
There's just one problem now.
It is the color of the carapace covering this piece of meat.
The shell of the meat block at this time was different from the original black shell of the Zerg. It underwent some obvious changes after Chen Ming's psychic power was used.
Since the scales of the Aurora Wind Spirit are colorful, similar to the aurora, after the genetic fusion, the shell of this piece of meat was also made colorful.
Even the muscles under the carapace show different body color characteristics.
Under the action of plasma, it flickers like an LED light.
Fortunately, the color traits displayed by the shell and muscles are not important genes. The Queen Insect quickly changed it back to its previous dark and murderous appearance according to Chen Ming's request.
Although this shell can't kill this piece of meat.
But it’s not a big problem, at least the other Zerg still look the way they should.
And it has come to this point.
Chen Ming has also completed the research and guarantee of the survivability of special combat individuals.
The Zerg's body can survive in the space environment, and now it has the ability to resist plasma attacks.
Survival is definitely not what Chen Ming needs to worry about next.
Moreover, the genes on this piece of meat that have been optimized by Chen Ming's spiritual power have also been completely acquired by the Queen of Insects.
The Queen of Insects can create similar beings at any time.
In other words, Chen Ming can now ask the Queen to replace some of the genes that make up the body tissues of all Zergs, so that the average combat capability of all Zergs can be raised to a higher level.
Chen Ming is now very much looking forward to the scene of these insects that can withstand plasma attacks appearing on the ground battlefield.
In addition, Chen Ming's research this time also has some additional by-products.
He got the inspiration from the Queen's previous failed attempts to create pieces of meat with mixed genes.
A weapon that can be used against Queen Bug's biological spaceships.
The Queen's biological spaceship is a template for the biological spaceships that the Zerg can now cultivate.
The weapons on the Queen's spaceship include the acid spray sacs that are extremely powerful and have been around for a long time.
Another type is some insect eggs that are about to hatch on the side of the biological spacecraft.
The biological spacecraft can launch these insect eggs at high speed, and these eggs will hatch during the flight.
These hatched bugs can quickly grow into a large number of flying bugs that have the ability to interfere with or destroy the shield armor of the spacecraft, and continue to rush towards the enemy at high speed in space with the power of the launch, similar to a speedboat.
The first generation of Queen Zerg used this method to replace the abandoned spaceship in the space station with the spaceship of pirates who believed the rescue signal and took advantage of the fire to rob, and escaped all the way to the outside of the empire.
This type of flying insect was originally a type of Zerg combat unit that Chen Ming was more optimistic about.
After the energy crystal, which concentrated a large amount of energy, was created, he had the Queen of Insects breed several more powerful generations of flying insects.
During Chen Ming's research on plasma genes, when he saw the insects that the queen insect failed to create being burned to death by the plasma he created, a new idea came to his mind.
He can breed some plasma self-destructing flying insects that are purely used for self-destruction.
A plasma self-destructing fly that completely abandons all other abilities, including self-protection, and focuses on strengthening its plasma production capabilities.
Of course, normal plasma flying insects with perfect plasma control and plasma protection capabilities, purely evolved flying insects, are also included in Chen Ming's plan.
However, the damage that a disposable consumable like a self-destructing fly can cause in a short period of time is definitely much stronger than that of a regular plasma fly.
Chen Ming didn't like Zuo Jing very much, but he always thought that the self-destruction techniques he learned from Zuo Jing were good.
So this idea naturally appeared in his mind and was perfected.
With these two technologies, if a real fight breaks out, we can first release a wave of plasma self-destructing flying insects to destroy the shield armor.
Then the plasma flies come in and are responsible for ending the subsequent battle.
Follow this line of thought.
Chen Ming also thought of another direction that he had not thought of before.
Those insect eggs launched by biological spacecraft can carry parasites, which are parasites that can directly control mechanical individuals.
These parasites do not need to hatch on the way to space. As long as the eggs can hit the target, the parasites can use the energy of the energy crystals they carry to grow and parasitize inside the spacecraft.
Use parasites to control the spacecraft.
Although it may be a little difficult, after all, the size of the parasite is comparable to that of ordinary mechanical units, but it is still difficult to face the spacecraft.
But even so, Chen Ming felt that this plan was valuable. Even if he could not control the entire spacecraft, controlling a part of it should not be a problem to interfere with the driving of the spacecraft.
Chen Ming has already thought of names for these three new types of biological spacecraft weapons.
[Biological Missile·Parasite], [Biological Missile·Plasma Self-Destructing Fly], and [Biological Fighter·Plasma Fly].
They all have practical application value.
Chen Ming even felt that he should develop the Queen Insect's biological spacecraft specifically in the direction of an aircraft carrier.
Relying on the self-destructing flying insects and the rest of the combat flying insects, a combat method combining missiles and fighter planes is created.
But this is just an idea at the moment.
The most important thing now is to create a special operations unit.
The survivability of the special operations units has been guaranteed, so the next stage will begin.
But there's no rush to start.
Because it's still early in the morning.
After getting up and washing, Chen Ming quickly had someone send him breakfast, and then picked up the daily report sent by Bai Quan today.
Ever since Bai Quan first gave him this report a few days ago, he has been studying the contents of this report every day.
After all, this allows him to learn a lot of information without leaving his home, and some of it can be verified through his connections outside.
Especially when it comes to some changes in public opinion, Chen Ming can understand them very clearly.
After all, the public opinion that Baiquan mismanaged the 14th Legion branch and seemed to be suspected of corruption is not so easy to ignore.
It can be said that the entire star field is spreading this news.
Even the report that Baiquan gave wrote these contents very clearly.
Chen Ming went to verify it specifically and indeed found that such public opinion was spreading in many places.
This is not just about the timely transmission of information between Old Wu and Glasses.
At the same time, there must be other people who contributed to the spread of these news.
Only in this way can people outside the 14th Legion know the false news so quickly and in a timely manner.
However, Bai Quan must have seen it before him, and Bai Quan was still in the same state when teaching, so Chen Ming did not ask any more questions.
It just so happened that Bai Quan asked for leave from him today, saying that he had something to do in the morning and would make up for the morning class in the evening.
By the way, I also asked Chen Ming if he was free to attend a meeting he was going to have today.
They said they were going to announce new rules and regulations for the branch.
Chen Ming can still go and listen to military meetings now, but he has basically never been involved in matters that are obviously political.
In addition, Bai Quan just said it casually and didn't say that Chen Ming must go over, so Chen Ming refused.
Anyway, he could tell from these actions that Bai Quan was definitely pushing something forward.
Since things are moving forward, there is no need for Chen Ming to keep focusing all his attention on this matter.
He just used this morning to do research.
After breakfast, Chen Ming opened the terminal and played Bai Quan's meeting.
While listening to Baiquan's meeting with half understanding, he was doing his own thing.
In the past few days, in addition to the research on the Queen of Insects, Chen Ming is also conducting simulation experiment research.
The main thing is that all the data that have been tested in the simulation before have to be replicated.
But this is quite simple. As long as you have the initial idea, just write down some things you need to use later, and then throw them into the computer and let the computer do the calculation.
In just a few days, Chen Ming had replicated most of the research processes in the simulation.
What follows is all new research.
Chen Ming even had to spend some time thinking about what content he had not done yet and that still required computer simulation.
He could then put the calculation into the computer and add it to the content he had studied, and then ask Lou Wei to pay more compensation.
Research on other synchrotron cores is also progressing steadily.
It’s just the same as when we were researching the Purgatory Core before, we lack equipment.
Since this task was assigned by Bai Quan, Chen Ming did not need to spend his own money to buy the equipment. He just had to tell Bai Quan to wait for it to be delivered. It should arrive tonight or tomorrow.
However, judging from Chen Ming's current research on the synchrotron core, he can clearly feel that the synchrotron core and the Purgatory core have different focuses.
The latter focuses mainly on combat.
As for the former, after two days of superficial research.
Chen Ming was basically certain that it was used for logistics.
Furthermore, it seems to have some important connection with the nanorobots that are inseparable from the mechanical race.
Of course, Chen Ming is unable to conduct further research now, so he still has to wait.
So now, it is more important to study the Zerg units.
Chen Ming's three requirements for Zerg special combat units are survival, activity and combat.
Survival is no longer a problem, so activities are the next issue to be solved.
What Chen Ming wants is not just to allow special operations individuals to have the ability to carry out normal activities.
After all, ordinary ground activities must be no problem now.
Even if it is a piece of meat lying there now, as long as it is slightly adjusted to make the muscle tissue more normal, it will not be a problem to move it.
And judging from the physical strength of that piece of meat, its mobility is definitely not bad.
So, Chen Ming wanted more.
He wanted to follow Yan Xiong's original standards.
This allows this special combat unit to have the ability to break through the planet's gravity with their physical bodies and move in a space environment.
It sounds like biological spacecraft actually already meets this condition to some extent.
If you want to break through the atmosphere with your physical body and escape the gravity of the planet, you can rely on the [Biomass Thruster] in combination with the biological engine [Rigid Digestive Sac].
Equipped with the [Hyperspace Stabilizing Connective Tissue] which is equivalent to the hyperspace channel engine system and evolved from the first generation of Queen Zerg, it can even enter hyperspace in the physical body.
It can indeed meet Chen Ming's needs.
But what Chen Ming wanted was a special unit specialized in ground combat that was more flexible, smaller, and had more comprehensive combat capabilities.
Battleships cannot replace ground units at all times. Chen Ming just needs the special combat units he is currently researching to have the ability to move in space and avoid interception.
To meet this idea, the size of the entire special operations unit must be miniaturized.
All body tissues and parts must be stuffed into a body that is no larger than eight meters.
This is Chen Ming's ideal body shape.
It is also the size of a general shuttle that is capable of landing on a planet and taking off again.
If you can shrink further, then do it as much as possible, preferably to the size of a normal person.
Anyway, the main attack method of the special operations unit will definitely be plasma. Such a large-scale attack method really does not require a too large size.
So Chen Ming’s needs are very clear.
All the large organs of the biological spacecraft must be reduced in size to be used in the body of a creature a few meters in size, while also ensuring that these organs can still perform their original functions.
As long as the original function can be guaranteed, the remaining organs will play their due roles on their own.
Now that he has the idea, Chen Ming also has a way of thinking about how to actually put it into practice.
Chen Ming communicated with the Queen Insect and quickly asked her to create a new piece of meat that was about twenty meters in size, slightly smaller than an ordinary frigate.
But it’s different from the previous one.
The interior of this piece of meat is no longer pure muscle tissue and some life-sustaining tissue, but some organs needed for the manufacture of special combat individuals that are stuffed in with extremely high density under the deliberate design of the Queen Insect.
These crowded organs are constantly rejecting each other, squeezing and hurting each other.
After a long time, either the internal organs will have problems or the outer layer of skin tissue will have problems.
This is the most intensive way that the Queen of Insects can currently design the arrangement of organs in an organism.
This is exactly the effect Chen Ming wants.
Such a design is obviously unreasonable, so next, he only needs to use his deep repair psychic power, and his psychic power will optimize this obviously unreasonable structure.
After all, Chen Ming has mastered the power of deep maintenance for some time.
Naturally, the effects of how to use psychic power are most clear.
Such a design would definitely allow his psychic power to gradually and reasonably shrink each structure without losing functionality.
This is how Chen Ming controls and uses his spiritual power.
The day passed quickly.
Early the next morning.
Chen Ming once again turned his attention to the Queen of Insects.
This time the optimization did not fail like the previous piece of meat with chaotic genes. The optimization was indeed successful.
But the level of deep repairs is not deep enough.
The mass of meat that was more than 20 meters in size did not shrink much, only its internal organs were shrunk a lot and were arranged very reasonably and perfectly inside the meat.
Therefore, Chen Ming had to let the Queen Insect master the manufacturing methods of these various organs that had shrunk a lot, and then repeat the previous steps.
Chen Ming estimated that it would take a few days, not too long.
And today, the research equipment needed for the synchrotron core has also been transported here.
And it was sent through a transfer station set up by Baiquan before.
After what happened earlier, Bai Quan has been constantly optimizing the various situations on Chen Ming's side and trying his best to ensure Chen Ming's safety.
That's perfect, the timing can be staggered, and the in-depth optimization of the synchrotron core and special operations unit mobility can be carried out at the same time.
Time flies.
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
It took a little longer than Chen Ming expected to complete the "activities" of the special operations unit that he had envisioned.
Because after Chen Ming had optimized to the original level, he was still thinking about whether he could continue to optimize.
So I spent a few more days using deep maintenance.
The effect of spending a few more days was very ideal.
In the end, Chen Ming reduced the minimum size of the piece of meat to about three meters.
And under this premise, the overall capabilities have not been significantly reduced.
It would be better to say that the convenience brought by the smaller size is definitely greater than the slight difference in combat power brought by the original size.
This is the special combat unit that Chen Ming wants.
2. On the same day that the "activity" design of the special operations unit was completed.
Chen Ming still read the report that Bai Quan sent to him every day as usual.
Baiquan has made new moves in the past week.
He began an internal purge.
All financial statements and administrative documents of the branch were made public to the headquarters of the 14th Corps.
Bai Quan had secretly calculated every account within the 14th Legion and put it in front of everyone.
Chen Ming knew very well what this meant.
People were being arrested everywhere in the entire 14th Legion branch’s base, and all those who had made mistakes were arrested without exception.
It even includes some of Baiquan’s own people.
Several staff members on Chen Ming's side were also taken away and never appeared again.
Their jobs were soon taken over by some people who seemed to have been transferred from the headquarters and had very clean identities and backgrounds, which basically had no impact on their work.
I guess it's the same everywhere else.
Although Chen Ming didn't care, others seemed a little worried.
Moreover, Bai Quan's behavior made the public opinion that had been rising before even more heated. The heat of the whole incident has never died down, and the public opinion attacking him has become more prominent.
Chen Ming went to ask specifically.
As a result, Baiquan said that everything was under control and it would be over soon.
Chen Ming didn't ask any more questions.
Continue to immerse yourself in your research.
Obviously, before Baiquan solves this matter, all other matters have to be put aside.
Then the new demands for Zerg combat units naturally came before Chen Ming.
fighting.
Once the requirements for survival and activity are met, combat becomes the ultimate condition that needs to be met.
On the premise of having the above foundations.
There is nothing much to say about the most basic melee combat capabilities of special Zerg units. After all, this is the Zerg's most powerful point.
Moreover, although Chen Ming did not take the Queen Insect's psychic power into consideration when designing it, the Queen Insect's psychic power blessing will definitely not be lacking during actual combat.
The original physical strength of the body that could withstand the plasma, combined with the Queen's psychic power, is no longer a problem, as it is stronger than the top pure sky steel among advanced materials.
Even some materials that are relatively weak among special materials can be surpassed.
For example, the electric saw made of special materials in the maintenance kit that Chen Ming has been carrying with him for a long time.
This thing is made of relatively low-strength special materials. Under normal circumstances, it can directly cut through the rear armor of a cruiser, but of course, forget about the front armor.
But the rear armor of a cruiser is also the armor of a cruiser, so its value is there, and it can be regarded as proof of the wealth of Sinda Company.
So with a physical strength that exceeds that of this chainsaw, there is really nothing to say about the hand-to-hand combat capabilities of the special operations unit.
So with this foundation, Chen Ming did not plan to add too many other means of attack.
Three are enough.
There is nothing much to say about plasma, the most important means of large-scale attack.
Among the remaining two methods, Chen Ming chose [Parasite].
This thing's ability is very useful when facing the mechanical race.
It just so happened that Chen Ming had no way to indirectly control the mechanical race through afterglow or any other means, so he had to do it himself, and the parasites were very valuable.
The last resort is to cooperate with the fungal blanket of other Zerg units.
In fact, it is not quite right to say that these two are means of attack. After all, parasites cannot be considered as attacks, and fungal blankets are the basic ability of current Zerg units.
Therefore, the special combat unit designed by Chen Ming is actually very simple.
The ultimate physical strength combined with plasma with extreme destructive power, this is what Chen Ming wants.
