Chapter 504(1/2)
The Qingfeng Biospacecraft has extremely high performance.
It is born with subspace navigation capabilities, and then it is equipped with the curvature engine installed a day, so it can basically travel anywhere without any obstacle.
The reason why it is designed in a dual-engine mode is to consider that the Qingfeng number needs to sneak into the enemy's backbone for reconnaissance.
Then subspace navigation is a necessary ability, and it cannot be too bad. When the real identity is not exposed, you must be able to avoid other Zergs at high speed.
Once the identity is exposed, you can only start the curvature engine and break the surrounding subspace to ensure that the spacecraft has room for free to advance and retreat.
In addition, the journey from the edge of the third spiral arm of the Milky Way to the Sirius system is long, and there is a huge fault layer in the subspace, so the curvature engine must be turned on to sail over.
As long as you enter an area with subspace, the Qingfeng can switch to the subspace navigation mode, and then enter Sirius without realizing it.
According to the intelligence information of Little Grey and the anatomical analysis of Zerg by Earth experts, the Zerg social form from Sirius is constructed in the bee colony pattern.
Zerg research experts believe: "There is one master in each group of Zergs, and many masters have princes on it, and then the unique Zerg queen!"
At present, they are all Zerg masters, and the insects controlled by these Zergs have no self-awareness and are completely obeying the orders of the Zerg. Once the Zerg is killed, the remaining Zergs will either merge into other insect swarms or enter hibernation alone, waiting for the next Zerg signal to be connected.
Then, the masters obeyed the prince's orders.
Initially, when the little gray man killed one or two princes, a large number of Zerg masters were affected, either attacking to the death or retreating actively.
So they thought that this was the Zerg Queen, but they found that this was not the case.
At the same time, the Zergs under each Zerg Queen are different in evolution, and they are not controlled by each other, but they can live in peace. As long as they do not violate the social customs between them, there will basically be no conflict.
"It's like the queen is the brain, the prince is an important tissue and organ, while the master is the limbs, hands and feet, and insects are cells."
In other words, after the Green Swift enters the territory of the Sirius Zerg, it will not attract attention as long as it shows the unique characteristic information of the Zerg.
Because there are strange things in each insect swarm, this is the Zerg Queen trying a new evolutionary path. Once you get something, you will absorb and digest the evolutionary results and openly synchronize them to all Zergs.
However, according to experts' speculation, there is actually the ancestor of the Zerg queen, which can control all the queens through spiritual thoughts and belong to the highest existence among the Zerg.
"We believe that the Qingfeng can be hidden from the Zerg Queen at most."
In short, it means never let Qingfenghao meet the ancestor insect emperor, otherwise he will definitely reveal his true identity!
On the day when the Qingfeng number broke out of the cocoon, Li Maoye watched the whole process through a stand-alone robot. According to the relevant values, he could just take a little rest and put it into use directly.
"It's really eye-opening to have a pure creature spacecraft!"
"What is even more surprising is that its production and manufacturing cost is not high. Although the initial investment cost seems huge, the subsequent production cost can be reduced to a very low level."
The manufacturing costs of Qingfeng number are mainly the modulation tank and the surrounding infrastructure. As for protozoa, nutrients and electricity are all very small expenses, and the rest are the corpses of insects.
As long as the Zergs do not die in one day, their corpses will be too numerous, so the cost of creating biological spacecraft in the future is indeed amazingly small.
These people were amazed at the sight of them. They were all from other countries, and they were basically participating in the interstellar project for the first time, and they were all using stand-alone robots.
Zhou Lin, who was standing aside, just wanted to laugh when he heard it. After all, in his opinion, biological spacecraft was nothing. At least after seeing the Martian city that was also built with creatures, this kind of operation was very ordinary.
It is also because of this that after the "Qingfeng No." plan was submitted, basically no one questioned whether this technology could be implemented.
"Everyone, please be careful, the spaceship is ready to come out!" someone suddenly shouted.
So everyone stopped talking and looked at the real-time video on the big screen. Some people stood in front of the tempered glass wall and looked into the distance of the ocean with a telescope.
I saw a huge cocoon in the ocean floating on the surface, floating up and down in the nutrient solution. With the harsh sound of tearing, the huge cocoon shell revealed a crack.
A white insect emerged from it, a hawk moth as big as a mountain. It crawled on the cocoon shell and kept gnawing, and soon ate half of the huge cocoon.
"What are you doing?" a guest asked.
Hao Qi looked at the other party and recognized that the man was a representative sent by John Niu. Judging from the official information, he should be a military scientist, and he is half a fellow traveler.
"This is replenishing energy," Hao Qi explained: "Qingfeng can obtain energy by swallowing organic matter and water, and if necessary, it will also eat a certain amount of inorganic matter to enhance its own defense."
As he was talking, the Qingfeng spacecraft swallowed half of the huge cocoon and flew into the air. His posture and figure were like Kunpeng in "Xiaoyaoyou".
But unlike ordinary insects, it does not need to swing its wings at all, but emits colorful light on its wings and tail, easily breaking away from gravity.
Everyone saw the Qingfeng spacecraft hovering around the huge modulation tank, then landed on a mountain next to it, and then leaned over and started eating.
As it eats more, the color on its body gradually changes, from a white hawk moth to a blue-black one, with a metallic luster all over its body, and it doesn't look like a biological insect at all.
"Ah! This is, this is..."
Those friends from all over the world who were watching were shocked. After Hao Qi and others explained, they realized that this was Qingfenghao supplementing various metal minerals, and these things happened to exist on the mountain.
"Although Qingfeng is a biological insect spacecraft, the toughness of any part of its body is a hundred times more than all metal steel, and it can heal and recover on its own if it is injured." Hao Qi said.
From all aspects, in addition to the trouble of production and manufacturing, this biological insect spacecraft is basically extremely cost-effective, far exceeding the interstellar spacecraft that can be built by the current human technological level.
It will not stop flying automatically until the "Qingfeng" completes its feeding, and waits for instructions in the air.
Hao Qi continued to act as a commentator and said to others: "This is the biochip we implanted to control it, as long as..."
At this moment, an alarm suddenly came from the main control room.
"Level 1 alert, subspace reactions are found in the galaxy at present!" the surveillance personnel reported.
Soon, the surveillance equipment in front came from the scene, and saw that, not far from the planet, huge bugs suddenly emerged from the subspace, and there were as many as millions in a few seconds.
"What's going on?" Zhou Lin was shocked.
Not only was he stunned, but basically everyone present was shocked. Fortunately, most of them arrived through stand-alone robots, otherwise they would probably be doomed this time.
Li Maoye was also slightly shocked, thinking that his plan to send spies to the Zerg was exposed, so he didn't care about it and went to the door first.
But after thinking about it carefully, many people don’t know about this plan. Even Hao Qi only knows that “Qingfuhao” is the latest biotechnology of Meow Star Technology, and he doesn’t know what to do.
If all such confidential matters were known to the Zerg, then there would be no secrets in front of them.
"It should be other reasons!" Li Maoye secretly speculated.
"Escape the personnel first and let them go offline!" Zhou Lin ordered the staff.
Under the intense and orderly arrangement, their substitute robot shook for a moment, then resumed its standing posture and returned to the rest cabin by itself. This was the guests present who were offline.
"Academician Li, you should go offline as soon as possible!" Hao Qi said.
Li Maoye waved his hand and chuckled, "Don't be so anxious, but you who are present should pay attention to safety!"
In any case, there are five living people on the planet, including Hao Qi himself and the other four technical employees. Their top priority is to hide in the safe base.
Judging from the information from all parties, the Zerg that attacked this time should be the fish that had escaped the net, and it was likely to have been hidden within a few light years, otherwise it would not have arrived here so quickly.
After all, the Zerg needs to consume physical energy when sailing in subspace, and it is impossible to fly from Sirius to this place.
Now that we can come quietly, without any traces of it, we must have lurked in this star field for a long time, but for some reason we were stimulated and rushed over like crazy.
Facts have also proved this. From the feedback from the front monitoring equipment, it was learned that Zergs have been leaving the subspace now, with such a long interval between them, and they should have flew from different places.
As for the interstellar expeditionary forces of the Earthlings, they were also unable to arrive in time. At least in the past few days, Hao Qi and the others had to rely on themselves.
But just when everyone was surprised that the Zerg would launch an attack, a surprising scene happened. The insects leaving the sub-space lined up one by one according to their species, slowly flew to the planet to land.
Then, in the surprised eyes of Hao Qi and others, these huge and strange insects all fell in front of the "Qingfengzi", as if they were worshiping the Zerg king.
"What's going on?" Hao Qi asked in a trembling voice.
Li Maoye had already started the CV system and deduced and analyzed what happened at the moment, and finally got a relatively reliable answer.
"They are offering loyalty to the Queen," he said.
"What? The Green Eagle is the Zerg Queen?"
"Maybe it's the master?" Li Maoye was not sure about this. "I remember that the Zerg Queen was not killed in this star field, right? There are quite a few masters, and it seems that four or five masters were killed."
According to CV's deduction information, it should be that they threw several dominant corpses into the modulation tank. After all, their energy levels are much higher than those of ordinary Zergs, so the corpses will naturally be more complete and will not be prone to decay and degradation.
These gene information fragments of the dominant will naturally be absorbed by the parasitic beast "protozoa", and after recombination and optimization, the energy level will be further improved, which will be farther from the original dominant and will be closer to the Queen's level.
Then after the birth of "Qingfeng", it will emit the message of the Zerg Queen through the subspace, and naturally awaken the insects that were originally separated from the swarm.
So the scene happened.
All the above are speculated and learned, but Li Maoye believes that it is very close to the facts, but he still needs to test it to find out.
He said to Hao Qi: "Connect the spacecraft biochip and let the Qingfeng leave the planet from the Zergs."
"Ah? Qingfengnuo has such a function?" said Hao Qi.
"I don't know, so I have to test it!"
"Okay!" Hao Qi took action immediately. He arranged for other staff to complete the final debugging, and then remotely connected to the "Qingfeng No" biochip and issued instructions through the communication equipment in the main control room.
As soon as the button was pressed here, the Zergs took action, and they all took off the ground one after another, and were about to fly away and disappear.
"Hurry, let them come back!" Li Maoye said again.
"Come back." Hao Qi did not press the button this time, but controlled it through voice. Sure enough, the Zergs returned to the side of "Qingfeng Number".
After several tests, Li Maoye finally confirmed something.
"It's really improved the energy level!"
"What's the meaning?"
"The Qingfeng not only perfectly simulates the Zerg, I originally thought that there was only the dominant level, but I didn't expect to become the Zerg Queen!"
This result is a bit unexpected, but it is very common sense. No wonder the Zerg strictly prohibits the masters from fighting each other. It turns out that they can increase their energy level by devouring each other.
To be continued...
