Chapter 512: Main nest

Fourth, tissue regeneration: In order to transport the ground units of the worm swarm on any battlefield or ground, the tunnel worm can be stretched indefinitely through the on-demand tissue regeneration function. ∈↗ is small, because it is connected to the worm path network, the worm path network can provide the worm path worm with the required nutrients, so that the worm path worm can expand and replicate its cells under a simple command. Excess tissue will be assimilated again after the tunnel bug returns to the net.
Fifth, the fungus blanket gland: Although the tunnel worms produce a lot of rubble when digging, they will dispose of the waste in a very effective way. First, the crushed rock and soil will be covered by a blanket of corrosive bacteria secreted from the glands of the worm's mouth. When these rocks and soil are liquefied, these materials will be transferred to a special interlayer under the skin through a pair of glands, allowing the tunnel bug to support the tunnel with its skin and skeleton.
If Behemoth and Leviathan are the space carriers of the Swarm, then the Tunnel Worm is the submarine channel of the Swarm, which can create underground passages in the planetary environment to transport the Zerg troops.
Imagine if in a planetary landing environment, if the side and rear wings are attacked by the tunnel worms while cooperating with the ground forces, what will the enemy commander think?
Tang Fang felt that if he replaced him, he would definitely not be happy.
The cost of the Wormway Network is 150 crystals and 200 gas, which is the same as the spinal reptile and does not occupy a population.
Next is the three bases of the Zerg, the main nest.
After the Zerg base is upgraded from the Worm Den to the Main Nest, you can unlock some upgrade items and a new Zerg flying unit-Flying Snake.
The upgrade items include the puppy’s "evolved adrenal glands" and the so-called "mad dogs". In addition, the three-level offensive and defensive items of the Zerg units related to Evolution Chamber and Spire are also unlocked.
As for the flying snake, the flying snake has inherited the support role played by the scorpion before the Zerg. The flying snake has assembled several vicious biological and chemical weapons to weaken the enemy's combat effectiveness and provide the Zerg with a battlefield advantage. This flying unit contains a thick microbial mucus in its abdominal cavity. When the long-range unit approaches, it sprays a vicious mixture of liquid in the air, causing the enemy to lose its attack effectiveness within the poisonous mist. The enemy who tries to escape to the high ground will soon be pulled back by the strong nose of the flying snake, allowing the Zerg to gain an advantage against any terrain. When injured, the flying snake can absorb biochemical energy and nutrients from other Zerg structures, quickly heal the damage and return to the battlefield to continue fighting
The main structure of the flying snake consists of 5 parts.
1. Elastic tail: The function of the flying snake's tail is basically similar to its prototype polluter (scorpion). But its further evolution allows the flying snake to maintain balance and maintain its direction while flying, and even has the function of turning. However, the most special structure of the flying snake's tail is the ingrown crystal spikes on the tip of the tail. These "crystals" can release powerful pulses, allowing the flying snake to accurately locate the target.
Second, the jagged forelimbs: Although the appearance is scary, the Zerg chooses to remove the aggressive function of the forelimbs, so that it only has a simple auxiliary grasping function. The protruding spikes are composed of porous bone structures and are directly connected to the lymphatic system of the flying snake. Let it pierce and fix the prey without causing fatal damage. When sneaking, the spikes release pheromones, allowing the poor prey to mistake the flying snake for a harmless and threatening creature.
3. Diseased blood: The polluter (scorpion) originates from the deteriorating carcinogenic pathogen, which is essentially the remaining gene fragments of other zergs. This primitive support weapon will cause harm to the enemy and the Zerg itself, and degenerate into a useless organ after the Brood War. Now that Zerg needs a new branch of specialization, they seem to use the gene pool of an unknown species to re-examine and improve the polluter as a flying snake, retaining important functions. And eliminate unnecessary lethality.
Fourth, the nose suitable for grasping: This elongated organ is the digestive system of the flying snake. It can stretch to the entire body length of a flying snake, just like a frog uses its tongue to catch its prey, the flying snake will forcefully pull back the flexible intestine, grab the target and drag it back into the body
Fifth, tissue absorption: Flying snake can break the ionic chain in the hardened tissue of the nest to produce a nutrient-rich liquid. This liquid can activate a large number of microorganisms in the flying snake's blood to generate and supplement the flying snake's bioelectricity.
The positioning of the flying snake is an auxiliary unit. There is almost no offensive ability, but in the battle mode, its 3 skills are very powerful and do not require additional upgrades. They are "Swallow", "Kidnapping", and "Blind Eyes Poison Cloud".
"Swallowing" is to play the characteristics of tissue absorption, increasing energy and life value by absorbing the ion chains in the hardened structure of the Zerg species.
"Kidnapping" is to drag the target to the position of the flying snake. The supernatural skill of battle mode.
The "eye-shielding poison cloud" turns the attack range of ground units and buildings under its cover into melee combat, which can be described as the nemesis of long-range units.
In terms of cost, 400 crystals and 800 gas are needed, and it occupies a population of 3, which is 4 times that of the game. It must be more than 40 meters long.
Tang Fang felt that the flying snake would have a miraculous effect if it cooperated with the queen to deal with the army. If it was to deal with the threat of the air, it would feel a little stretched. "Kidnapping", a skill that is effective in battle, is basically a taste in reality, because of the current human society. The smallest frigate in China’s battleship system is also more than 100 meters away. The
kidnapping
of the Flying Snake will at most deal with small units such as aerospace fighters, various types of unmanned aerial vehicles, and shuttles. It depends on whether people give it. face.
Although the appearance of the Flying Snake does not bring about an upgrade of the combat effectiveness of the Air Force, the main nest appeared very timely. The war between the Star Alliance and Munya and Sulu might start someday. The Black 7's "Anubis" "The Legion is also watching closely. Corruptors and Flying Dragons, as the main combat units of the air force, urgently need to increase their combat effectiveness again.
Thinking of this, he first pressed the button for the worm den to evolve to the main nest, then spent 2000 crystals and 2000 gas to add the puppy’s "evolution adrenaline" to the upgrade list, and finally moved to the menu bar of the spire, looking at the unlocked " "Evolved Flying Creature Attack Level 3" and "Evolved Flying Creature Carapace Level 3" were startled and sighed bitterly.
The two upgrade projects require a total of 11 crystals and 11 gas, and the total resources now are only 1069345,168014.
He remembered that Tang Lin had collected a total of 3 tons of zero element when cleaning the Mingbat-class destroyer. The zero element reserves of this level were quite high for a destroyer. But for him, it is not a mere 3,000 gas, even if you add the "Pluto Bat" in Behemoth's belly, the maximum is 6,000.
The resources of the "tree demon" reached the terrifying 20000 crystals and 12,000 gas. He believed that there must be more than this "tree demon" in the "Akron" formation, but after experiencing the fierce battle just now, he didn't want to be in this kind of underground. The environment is the enemy of other "tree monsters". Even if they have extremely high resource value, there are zero prime mineral veins in the stratum.
Among the other ways to obtain the raw materials, the most convenient and also the most productive one is to rip off the government. You must know that he just bought nearly 10,000 tons of raw materials from Adam Oliver and various military enterprises, so he went to make trouble so quickly. If it is not appropriate, at any rate, you have to wait for the Star Alliance, Mengya, and Suluzhen to fight, and then make a fortune.
Since you can't rip off, there is another way-buy! He used his 800 billion huge sum of money to buy, but now the market is not so good. Because all countries are actively reserving raw materials in order to expand their armaments, the prices of raw materials have risen sharply recently.
This is not good, that is not good, he is a little upset for a while.
otherwise……
"Tang Fang, what are you doing? The river will fill up the hole before it comes out."
Just as a bright light flashed in his mind and he thought of a good way, Zhou Ai's voice rang in his ears, and he looked back quickly. I saw that the sparkling water reflected in the light had risen to Thor's chest, and it would flood the cockpit in a moment.
He hurriedly returned the suffering Thor to the system space to s for repair. Then it summoned a flying dragon, hugged its body, drilled out of the "curtain hole", and returned to the firepower platform.
Zhou Ai had already stepped down from the Banshee fighter plane, Roy sat on the ground, pale with no trace of blood, holding a compressed biscuit in his hand and filling his mouth as if he hadn't eaten enough for eight years. The two cheeks are bulging, like a pair of meat balls.
"died?"
Tang Fang ǎǎn head: "Dead."
Although she had guessed it, the girl took a breath and looked at the river channel extending into the darkness and said: "Go back, I don't want to stay here for a moment."
A few rocks fell between Behemoth and the crevices of the surrounding stone walls. Falling into the river water splashed a lot of water, and a strange smell filled the air. The moisture soaked through the clothes, making it uncomfortable to stick to the body.
Tang Fang promised to put away the ground units of the humans and the Gods on the firepower platform, and released a detector to investigate the current structure of the large cavity upwards along the gap between Behemoth and the surrounding rock wall, looking for the tunnel through which it came.
About 5 minutes later, a piece of news came-it was bad news.
His most worried thing happened. The tunnel to the ground collapsed in a large area during the turmoil just now, and the entire rock formation was crushed.
"The tunnel we walked in collapsed."
He summoned a nurse, threw a bottle of vitamin drink to Roy, who was choking on his chest with compressed biscuits, and sullenly told the bad news.
Zhou Ai subconsciously said, "So, are we trapped here?"
Tang Fang shook his head and shook his head again: "If you use the insect swarm, you still have a chance to escape. It just takes a lot of time and...something dangerous."
Cockroaches are experts at digging holes and can dig a tunnel to the surface. According to the data provided by Emma, ​​they are now located about tens of kilometers away from the seabed. If they use the cockroaches to excavate with all their strength, it should be completed within half a day.
This is not the key. The key is the strong water pressure on the sea deep area after the tunnel is dug. How do they get up? The Nighthawk deployed on the Fungus Carpet Island just sent a message that due to the violent plate movement caused by the fighting between the three people and the "tree monsters" underground, the lower half of the Fungus Carpet Island collapsed and has now drifted away from its original position.
Before arranging the fungus blanket island, he had asked Emma to analyze the topography of the bottom of the sea area. Through the model diagram, it can be seen that this sea abyss was caused by a violent plate impact. One plate subducted during the impact and one plate rose. , The formation of the abyssal structure, even the formation of large underground holes is the result of plate collision.
During the battle with the "tree monster" just now, its root network opened numerous honeycomb tunnels in the nearby stratum, resulting in extremely unstable geological structure in the entire area. If tunnels were dug from this area, the stratum would easily collapse. It fell short and even buried three people alive. Moreover, even if the tunnel to the seabed is opened safely, the difficulty of building a fungus blanket island from the sea deep up from the water surface is not at the same level as the difficulty of building a fungus blanket island from the water surface. If there is no pressure on the sea surface to disperse the pressure on the seabed, the tumor blanket tumor will be The huge water pressure burst.
Zhou Ai didn't ask too much, because she knew that Tang Fang had always considered questions comprehensively, since he said it was dangerous. That must be unsafe, so he frowned and said, "What should I do? I can't stay here... By the way, we haven't been back for so long. Will Tang Lin, Tang Yun and others on the Hercules transport plane be in a hurry?"
"I have ordered the transport plane driver to tell them that they have encountered minor problems underground and that it may take a while."
Little trouble... Roy hiccuped and looked around. He said that it was a little trouble because Behemoth was supporting the surrounding rock formations that would not collapse, otherwise all three of them would be buried alive by rubble. To be buried with the "tree demon".
At this time, Tang Fang looked towards the river valley and said, "There is a way, go." Jumping down the river valley, down the river, swimming towards the other side of the river.
Roy quickly put on his face mask and followed him along the river with Zhou Ai, leaving the large hollow area. Enter the dim and dark underground river valley with gurgling water.
These do not know where they come from. I don't know where to go, the flowing water is not cold, on the contrary, it is very warm, like sea water that is warm in summer, suitable for swimming, but the three people are not interested in playing at this moment, leaving the big cave. The river became narrower, the water almost filled the tunnel, and it became more and more urgent.
Tang Fang summoned a king worm and fixed it with a whip to keep three people from being scattered. It walked along the turbulent water and narrowing river.
I don't know how long it has been. According to the speed of the king worm, it is estimated that it is about 100 kilometers away from the location of the big cave. The river has become a little wider. According to the terrain data returned by the detector, a curve appears in front, and the speed of the king worm slows down. The person appeared in the water, and shot 3 blue light beams towards the stone wall at the turn, opening a half-person high cave. The king worm swung his whip and pushed the three people into the cave.
After standing firmly, take back the king worm and the hunter, and recruit a mechanical sentry to place a force field at the opening facing the river to block the flow of water, and then order the mechanical sentry to use the disintegrating rays to continue to dig the tunnel forward.
The water level was slowly lowered due to the expansion of the tunnel, and the bodies of the three people were able to get out of the water. Roy turned on the -20a searchlight and illuminated his head on the stone wall. Condensed water droplets fell, hitting the water with a light ticking sound. Look back. At the entrance of the cave, there is clear water at the end of the transparent stand, like a scenic spot in the aquarium, but there are no beautiful or evil fish.
Zhou Ai and Tang Fang walked side by side, staring intently at the rapidly expanding tunnel under the effect of the disintegrating rays. They still didn’t ask why. It’s certainly a joy to be able to return to the ground, but to be able to explore underground with him. It is also a pleasant thing. She likes to take risks, especially to be with the people she likes. Of course, it would be perfect without the light bulb behind.
Ten minutes later, the tunnel expanded to nearly a kilometer, and the water poured into the cave had fallen to the knees.
At this time, the mechanical sentry stopped digging and opened a tunnel on the left side of the tunnel that was large enough to accommodate 3 people. Tang Fang asked the 3 people to hide in the tunnel, retracted the mechanical sentry, raised -20a and replaced it with an armor-piercing grenade. Pull the trigger on the stone wall at the end of the tunnel.
The armor-piercing grenade penetrated the rock wall, leaving a bullet hole tens of centimeters wide at first, with some cracks around it. In the next second, water seeped out. In just 2 breaths, with a bang, the rock wall collapsed, and the torrential flood engulfed gravel into the tunnel, causing the water level to rise rapidly, and it took a moment to fill the entire tunnel.
Tang Fang greeted the two people, drilled out of the pit and swam into the long underground river at the end of the collapsed rock wall.
Zhou Ai and Roy followed closely, drilling through the breach of the rock wall, and suddenly felt a lift from under them, and the upward turbulence pushed the bodies of the three to climb quickly.
This long river is very different from the previous cavernous underground river valley. It is not a reciprocating underground water vein, but a water channel that leads directly to the bottom of the sea. Roy was puzzled and asked about the origin of this water channel, so Tang Fang gave Emma The explanation is repeated.
In fact, in addition to some shallow groundwater, the groundwater system is also distributed in the deeper mantle of the planet, and the number is even greater. There are two sources of water in the mantle.
The first source is that minerals contain some free hydrogen elements. When these hydrogen elements and oxygen elements meet, a chemical reaction occurs in the underground environment ~EbookFREE.me~ to form water.
The second source, collisions between ocean plates, will cause large-scale stratum fractures. When the subducting plates go down, they will also bring seawater into the ground, thus forming deep-seated water.
In this context, after hundreds of millions of years of evolution, the water in the mantle accumulates more and more, and because of the violent underground activities, the deeper the stratum, the stronger the pressure. Once cracks appear due to geological movement, the water in the mantle will act like a bearing. The above is the origin of this long river like pressure water rushing from deep to the ground.
Roy praised: "Big Brother Tang knows so much."
Tang Fang didn't blush or breathe, and said, "That is."
Zhou Ai snorted coldly, saying that he was shameless, and only a stupid boy like Roy believed his lies.
Tang Fang laughed a few words, concealing the embarrassment on his face, even though it was covered by a mask, he was safe to be seen.
