Chapter 111 Swarm Symbiosis System, Attacking the Zerg
In traditional literature, the appearance of insectoids represents the plundering and devouring of all matter. Such swarms are like locusts, which devour one place and then move on to another.
At that time, with Fang Heng, the swarm will be used as a combat unit and will continue to develop as a race, so this model will no longer be applicable.
In order to find a path to sustainable development, researchers quickly thought of the symbiotic phenomenon in nature.
During their research on insectoids, scientists discovered a type of spore that can transform inorganic matter into organic matter.
However, the initial spores could not convert much inorganic matter. After multiple rounds of cultivation, the spores can now convert most of the inorganic matter into organic matter to supply the insectoids.
With these spores, the insect swarm will not need to destroy the planet after it has taken over. It can simply wait for the spores to cover the surface and have a sufficient source of organic matter.
In Fang Heng's mind, this was the true Zerg civilization, not the previous kind of alien insects that only knew how to plunder but did not produce anything.
On the planet at this time, Fang Heng's swarm of insects quickly found a suitable location after entering the cave.
The spores were also expanding normally, and soon spread out of the sealed cave.
Currently, the insect swarms on this planet primarily operate underground.
Because the organic matter on the surface had been completely consumed, in order for the survival of their species, these insect swarms began to dig underground to obtain more organic matter.
So after one night, as the spores spread, the area where the insects landed was covered with green spores.
The spores grew silently, without disturbing the underground insects, so after a week, large areas were covered by them.
Meanwhile, within a week, on another planet in this star system, the mother nest had successfully developed, spore fungi covered a large area, and the swarm population began to rise.
A month passed in this way, and by this time the number of insect swarms had exceeded one million, with hundreds of biological warships hovering in the sky, a truly spectacular sight.
"Sir, the first wave of the Zerg attack is ready and we can begin operations at any time."
"Very well, then let the swarm go out and test the alien insects on this planet."
"Yes, sir."
Soon, as large numbers of Zerg boarded the biological warships, the Zerg's first attack officially began.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The swarm moved quickly. After all the insects had boarded the ship, the biological warship took off rapidly and soon arrived in orbit around the planet occupied by the Zerg.
Perhaps the Zerg have special methods of detecting planetary orbits. As soon as the biological warship entered the planet's orbit, it was immediately detected by the Zerg below. The plasma worms burst out of the ground and began to accumulate plasma in their tails.
"puff!"
As the plasma worms spewed out, the plasma was quickly ejected into space.
The swarm wasn't going to be outdone either; once the biological warships detected the plasma attack, they immediately began to evade it.
These biological warships, in essence, can also be considered a kind of insect, so they are quite agile in terms of dodging. They quickly passed through the plasma barrage and rapidly descended towards the ground.
"Bang bang bang".
As the biological warship approached the ground, countless biological landing pods fell from the warship and crashed to the ground.
"Pfft!"
As the landing pod exploded, the small dogs inside quickly launched an attack, directly assaulting the surrounding Zerg.
"Sisi!"
"Aww!"
Amidst the roars between the swarm and the Zerg, the puppy charged ahead, heading straight for the nearest Zerg.
"Pfft!"
In just one encounter, a Zergling was killed, which shows that the Zerglings on the Zerg side are much stronger than the Zerglings.
Meanwhile, in the sky, countless exploding bugs were launched from the biological warships and quickly landed inside the Zerg that had rushed to the scene.
"boom!"
As all the exploding bugs exploded, a large area of electric arcs instantly appeared on the battlefield, killing all the Zerg that were enveloped in the arcs, leaving behind a charred mess.
"These alien insects are really strange. They have very high defense against laser attacks, and their shells can absorb this energy. But they don't have good defense against electric arcs and physical attacks. It's really peculiar."
Inside the command center, Li Yong and Falo stayed there, observing the battle on the scene. Li Yong was also somewhat moved.
"This is something the Earth Federation has been researching for a long time but hasn't been able to figure out. Normally, these alien insects don't live in high-energy radiation areas, so they shouldn't be evolving like this."
Upon hearing Farrow's words, Li Yong suddenly realized something and was startled.
"Fallow, do you think it's possible that these alien insects were also man-made?"
"Hmm? That's quite possible."
Upon hearing Li Yong's words, Faro suddenly thought of the insect swarm on the Human Alliance's side, which was also a man-made product, so it was not impossible for these alien insects to be there.
"Any naturally occurring organism must follow the laws of natural evolution. If these alien insects are naturally occurring, they should be no exception. I will report this to the authorities now. Whether it is true or not, researchers will know after studying it."
Soon, Fang Heng, who received the report, was also shocked. Judging from all the signs, these alien insects did indeed seem to be man-made.
"Ethan, what do you think?"
"Commander, if it is a man-made product, then it should be expressed at the genetic level in advanced Zerg like the Queen. However, the research value of a single Queen is limited. It would be best to study several Queens together and compare them; that might lead to some discoveries."
Or perhaps capturing the queen of these alien insects would lead to new discoveries.
"Forget about capturing the Queen Mother. That place is the stronghold of the alien insects. With our current strength, going in would be suicide. It's much simpler to capture a few insect queens. Send the word down that we should capture as many insect queens as possible and begin research as soon as possible."
"Yes, Commander."
Soon, Fang Heng's order reached them, and after reading it, Li Yong understood Fang Heng's meaning.
However, Fang Heng also knew that matters on the battlefield should be handled by professionals, so this order was only implemented on the premise of ensuring the completion of the main objectives.
Focusing on the battlefield, the battle continues. With all the biological warships unloading their cargo, a million-strong swarm of insects has arrived, immediately launching a sweeping attack.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
As a large number of Zerg were eliminated, the Zerg Queen hiding underground became anxious and immediately unleashed high-level Zerg, including Plasma Zerg, Flame Zerg, and Flying Zerg, all of which poured out and charged towards the Zerg army.
Seeing this scene, the mother nest on the other planet remained completely calm, and its biological warships lined up and launched the first salvo.
"Whoosh~ Boom!"
As hundreds of biological warships opened fire, massive plasma filled the entire Zerg force, and powerful electric arcs covered a large area, causing the Zerg to suffer heavy casualties.
Meanwhile, in the sky, the Zerg's Mutalisks were no pushovers either, wiping out all of the Zerg's air units before returning to the rear of the Zerg swarm.
The current battle is a war of attrition. The two sides cannot change the course of the battle with just these dragons. Therefore, the main purpose of these dragons is to strike enemy air units and ensure that there are no threats in our airspace.
In fact, a swarm of millions of Zerg is not a large number in this war; the number of these Zerg on this planet is in the trillions.
Therefore, there were some special Zerg in this attacking force.
After landing, these Zerg creatures quickly dug underground and soon arrived at the underground space that the swarm had previously excavated.
Here, a large number of collected spores have gathered. As these special insect swarms land, they explode on the spot and begin to absorb the surrounding spores.
As time went on, the battle on the ground became increasingly fierce. The conflict between the Zerg swarm and the Zerg was essentially a war between two races, a life-or-death struggle, with countless Zerg continuously arriving from afar.
On the Zerg swarm side, due to the sheer number of Zerg, they have also begun to suffer losses, and their numbers are steadily decreasing.
One week later, when the insect swarm had dwindled to about 1, a huge crater suddenly appeared on the ground, from which a massive number of insects emerged.
At this moment, the insect swarm hatchery in the underground space was ready and began to continuously hatch new insect swarms.
Time passed slowly, and soon a month had gone by.
On this planet, the battle between the Zerg swarm and the Zerg continues, but with the support of spores, the Zerg are being steadily defeated, and the area they control is constantly shrinking.
The area controlled by the swarms is also getting larger and larger, and as more and more swarm hatcheries appear, the number of swarms is increasing further.
Upon seeing this situation, the Zerg Queen disregarded her own safety and dispatched all the Zerg to wipe out the unknown swarm in one fell swoop.
Li Yong noticed this and was delighted.
The 12 warships that came with us are still in orbit around the planet.
However, after activating stealth mode, these 12 warships disappeared from orbit, and the Zerg could not lock onto them. Therefore, Li Yong was able to clearly see the Queen's movements using the shipborne scanning device.
After seeing that the power around the Queen had weakened, he knew that the next step of his plan could be implemented.
"Fallo, it's up to you now."
"No problem, sir. I'll get ready right away."
Faro had long been aware of Li Yong's plan, and after waiting for so long, the Queen of Insects finally fell for it.
Although I didn't participate in the operation to capture the Queen of Insects at Case Outpost, my strength now is incomparable to what it was back then.
