Vol 6 Chapter 37: Worm Temple

A few days later, the Continental Fleet arrived one after another to build a research station on Worm Island.
Zhang Mu manipulated the magic scorpion maggot and found a lot of useful information directly from the memory of the magic scorpion family, making the research work more smooth. The establishment of a scientific research station is beneficial to the human race. All major forces are paying attention to the island. When the island is in danger, they will know for the first time that it will not be the same as the last time. Almost died, the Green Alliance knew nothing.
The Zerg base is an important thing that cannot be bought with money. The more the mainland attaches importance to it, the more it will protect the island.
With the joint efforts of thousands of robots and humans, the fields in the desert in the middle of the island suddenly more than doubled. In addition to spirit beast grass and practice grass, a large number of other spirit grass and fruit are planted, mainly low-grade plants mainly for food and assistance. In the mountains near the island, there are large and simple breeding farms that breed different spirit beasts.
The living area is gradually taking shape, and a square is planned to be built nearby, which is specifically used as a shipyard for warships.
The warm air flow, fresh air, the wild fields are full of spirits, and the spirit beasts graze leisurely in Makihara. People are either practicing or just helping to breed.
Everything on Kojima is well organized!
Inside the island, there is a secret place that most people don't know. The space inside is not large, but the soil is very fertile.
A row of verdant green vines spread out in the corner, Zhang Mu carefully poured fertilizer with fine crystal modulation. This is the seedling of the empty gourd. The empty gourd is a relatively precious spirit. The planting cycle is relatively long, the cost, The difficulty is very high, as long as the empty gourd grows, each one can sell for a high price. This is a plantation farm. There is a farm nearby, and laser bats are being cultivated.
Two things come from the imaginary world, they are the key breeding objects.
Zhang Mu walked to the corner, and the wall wriggled, splitting a passageway out from the middle. This breeding room is in the base and is a part of the base. The soil layer is the active tissue of the base. The base can only simulate the environment suitable for growth, and at the same time, it can transfer energy to the soil, and even synthesize special biological substances according to plant changes. Such as ripening drugs, aphrodisiac drugs, etc., speed up growth and stand on reproduction, thereby greatly shortening the growth cycle and greatly increasing the living rate.
When Zhang Mu just arrived at the island, when he saw the desolate appearance of the island, he thought that the Zerg were a group of low-level, incompetent, intelligent creatures that did not understand planting and breeding.
It seems that the worm world is dominated by life technology.
Zerg are better at tapping the potential of life.
There is a long corridor outside the breeding room. There are creeping meat walls on the left and right, and the whole air is muddy and difficult to breathe. After all, the Zerg base is something of the Scorpion, and the Scorpion does not need to breathe. The corridor is very long, connecting more than a hundred breeding and cultivating biological secret rooms, which is an advanced biological planting base.
"Wood, why did you come out?"
In a small hall, Lei Ming and Lin Caiyan waited for a long time.
"I'm looking at the growth of the gourd."
"The biological base will take care of them, so we don't need to worry about it. I found a few interesting places today. I'll take you to see them. It will definitely be an eye-opener!"
Zhang Mu was a little surprised, "Are there any new discoveries?"
The breeding area of ​​the Zerg base is actually a functional area that has only recently been discovered. The structure of the Zerg base is more complicated than expected, and there are still many functions that have not been explored. After continuous exploration in the past few days, surprises appear from time to time.
Lin Caiyan was pleasantly surprised, "This time it is impossible! Several super important discoveries!"
Zhang Mu immediately became interested, "Really? Take me to see!"
The two walked around several passages in the Zerg base, and eventually walked into a huge hall, a place that had not been discovered before. At this moment, they were full of people, there were people on the mainland, but also Long Hao and Leng Yun. Some humans were present.
Zhang Mu glanced inside.
This hall is completely different from other halls, it gives people ... a very uncomfortable feeling!
The whole hall is full of potholes, tumour-like things bulging everywhere, and even more scarred, like a honeycomb shape, constantly squirming, and people with dense phobia must see such a disgusting scene and must faint on the spot.
Lin Caiyan explained: "Ugly is not fake, but it is a good place!"
In the center of countless large honeycomb tumors, there is a crater-like thing. Zhang Mu saw several mainland scientific researchers and poured more than one hundred unbounded coins from the crater. A controlled demon scorpion started With the instructions given by the spirit, the whole room's peristalsis became more intense. Suddenly, an ugly worm with a thick thigh was squeezed out of a large tumor. When the worm appeared, it swelled immediately and its shape began to change.
"insect?"
Zhang Mu froze slightly.
Lin Caiyan nodded and said, "There is nothing wrong. The Moxie clan calls it the Worm Temple, or the Mother Worm Temple! A place dedicated to breeding monsters!"
[Wanworm Hall] is the name of the Devil Scorpion family. It is a component of the base and belongs to a subdivision of the biological arsenal.
Inside are all countless honeycomb things, in fact, they are an individual zerg mother nest, from which they can cultivate more than a thousand different types of eggs. This is much more powerful than the worm nest on the mainland. All kinds of worms can be cultivated, and even several kinds of worms can be combined to directly cultivate a synthetic life body!
The worms born from the nest are called protozoa.
The protozoa itself does not have any fighting power, but it is a product of cutting-edge biotechnology. It is a carrier for the research on the civilization of the scorpion.
Protozoa are equivalent to larvae.
A kind of multi-potential magical life contains great potential. They are like stem cells, and under certain conditions differentiate into multiple functional cells. When protozoa are input with different developmental information, they will become various mature bodies.
This biological information is actually the Zerg template stored in the million insect hall.
In some ways, in the protozoa and the computer game StarCraft, next to the Zerg's main base, those little bugs walking around have the same purpose!
Zhang Mu was so surprised that he couldn't stop his mouth and said, "Is it so powerful?"
Long Hao came to introduce and said, "There are several thousand kinds of worm templates hidden inside. Using protozoa as a carrier, they can develop into corresponding worms directly. If you are not satisfied with the existing template, there is a life synthesis room on the opposite side. We can Combining several templates and then synthesizing new synthetic life, theoretically providing enough energy. The types of insects we can make are endless. The Zerg Warcraft outside this domain is by no means comparable to the Zerg Warcraft on the mainland, your worm nest Compared to it, it is really shabby! "
Leng Yun saw the mainland researchers as if pinching plasticine, combining several kinds of bugs, and finally generating new ones, but creating a new one was costly. If you want to develop a new type of bug, let alone the human race, the financial resources of the mainland are not enough.
Because the synthesis is not directed, it also has the chance of failure and mutation.
After most of the synthesis, it becomes weaker. However, once a new type of worm or mutant worm appears, the relevant information will be memorized by the base and become a new template, which can be produced directly in the future.
The Scorpion has enough templates to build any kind of Zerg army.
"Great!"
"Great!"
Zhang Mu greatly appreciated this.
Lei Ming said: "The production cost of insects is not low. The stronger the insects, the higher the cost. Specially powerful insects require special materials to produce. We can first produce insects with the ability to collect and plant, and go outside to collect relevant materials, and then make more powerful. Fighting bugs. "
Zhang Mu has 290,000 real estate coins, which sounds like a lot, but the Zerg base after the wake up is far from enough to absorb energy from the island.
Although it is not fully activated at present, less than one-fifth of the wake-up part, even if it takes a lot of energy, ordinary energy can be replaced with other energy materials, but the base needs to operate normally. It is far from enough to use ordinary energy, and crystals are still needed. The essence of life provided in the daily consumption bottom line is about 1000 coins. If you use ordinary, the more you consume.
Zhang Mu must leave no less than 100,000 sector coins for the energy supply of the base.
In addition, 50,000 are reserved for daily expenses. Others' needs for cultivation, breakthroughs, planting, and breeding. The current population is not large, and the scale of planting and breeding is not large. As for the rest of the money, Zhang Mu is going to spend it in the virtual world and buy another necropolis temple or other useful things. Zhang Mu can also buy some precious spirit grasses, spirit beasts, and large numbers of breeds from mystery stores to make money.
"After a few days of fighting, the Zerg base has basically no extra power. Now the island's defense is almost equal to zero."
"Our resources are severely deficient. It is best to collect void material from the outside and collect useful resources to build defenses."
Zhang Mu didn't think about it. Although the alliance gave a little resources, they also picked up a few from the Zerg. Most of them are low-level resources for building houses, making low-level items, ordinary alchemy, alchemy, and cooking. It is not a problem. But cannot be used to develop islands.
Suddenly, Lei Ming had a good idea: "There is a kind of collecting insect in the Temple of Thousands of Worms called Skynet, which is a very good resource-gathering monster. If an out-of-domain mine is found, Skynet can directly mine. , Skynets can also condense high-quality energy crystals and void materials from the void, a large amount of trace matter and energy. These things are not only usable by themselves, they are also very easy to sell! "
Zhang Mu took a look. It took at least 5,000 renminbi to conceive one, and said, "Then first produce a few celestial networms. You drive out the mothership and use lidar to find more. Is there a void mine nearby? field."
"it is good!"
Zhang Mu asked again, "Don't you say there are several areas with special functions? Where else?"
"There are indeed a few more," said Lin Caiyan's playful dregs. "One of them is absolutely unexpected. It is not inferior or even more powerful than the Wanzong breeding room!"
