Chapter 405 Zerg Civil War
In this way, as time went by, the reconnaissance fortress was quickly established, a large number of scientific instruments were piled inside, and equipment such as wires, light bulbs, generators, etc. were also properly placed.
Humanity's reserves of oil, coal, cement and other resources have almost dropped to the warning level. Over the years, they have been consumed without being replenished.
But there was nothing we could do at the moment, and all the remaining inventory was used to build this reconnaissance fortress.
This made Comrade Lao Mao lose his temper. He kept asking "When will mining be possible?", "If we don't mine, most of the projects will have to be stopped." "You know that the City in the Sky is undergoing a major expansion."
Lu Yuan was also under a lot of pressure: "We have to wait for the investigation report to come out, which will take a few months... Well, let the sacred king give you a hard time."
"make a deal!"
Wait, that's my married wife already. Lu Yuan couldn't help but dilate his pupils, wondering.
…
This mammoth investigation lasted for more than five months, and as many as 10,000 bugs were captured, with more than 300 species!
The final results of the investigation really surprised everyone.
"The first conclusion is that the more than 300 native insects captured so far, whether strong or weak, are indeed trapped in the cracks. Once they leave the cracks, they will be forced by the 'irregular' mountains
weaken."
"Of course, insects that are powerful enough to a certain extent can still be forced to leave, but they are all hiding underground and basically cannot come out..."
"Under this premise, the engineering team at the rear can indeed mine. People can also travel in small groups, just stay away from here."
This is indeed very good news.
The rear base camp is six thousand kilometers away, so the security is sufficient.
"There are also some interesting conclusions." Lu Yuan was explaining on the stage, and the 3D geographical model drawn by the investigation team was played on the big screen.
"Our survey team used drones to penetrate into the 6,000-meter fissure."
"The terrain in this large fissure is very complex, with many caves, honeycomb nests, and some underground fungal zones... Note that what I want to focus on is these fungal zones."
The photo shows various colorful mushrooms, which are as colorful as flowers.
The smallest one is only as big as a bean sprout, and the largest one is as big as a palm.
"Those fungi were cultivated by the Zerg with great effort."
"Our drone collected some fungal specimens, but they are difficult to plant out of their native geographical environment."
"At a depth of five thousand meters, it is basically difficult for sunlight to penetrate. Most of the Zerg use geothermal energy and fungi as energy sources."
A photo appeared on the screen.
The magical and weird underground forest, the red lava, the smell of sulfur, and... the insect swarms that are multiplying crazily.
This bizarre scene is completely different from the lush tropical rainforest outside. It can be described as weird and crazy.
"Our scientists dissected more than 10,000 bugs and came to a conclusion... There are at least 12 different populations of bugs in this rift. In other words, the number of female bugs may be 12 or more."
This news not only moved the frontline officers.
Even the government officials who were listening remotely were stunned, thinking about the information contained in it.
More than a dozen strange phenomena [insects], what is going on?
Lu Yuan's expression was slightly serious: "To sum up, the crack we are seeing now is probably a Zerg breeding base left by an ancient civilization!"
"There are multiple populations raising Gu here, maybe to determine the final winner, or maybe just to cultivate fungi, that is, mushrooms."
"Most of the Zerg are very weak, equivalent to level 2-3 warriors of the Extraordinary Fire. For our current soldiers, even with cold weapons, one can fight ten."
"But there are also some that are very powerful, perhaps even stronger than our King Insects and Leviathan. These ancient existences are left over from previous eras and can easily destroy us humans."
He sighed softly: "Fortunately, these bugs don't pay much attention to the outside world. In the past five months, only a very small number of bugs crawled out of the cracks."
At this time, several government officials' remote conference images frowned on the screen and said: "So, Mr. Lu, since the enemy is stronger than expected and we are unable to go deep to find the female insect, what is the reason for staying here?
What? We can completely leave here and look for the next civilization relic."
"As for the evolution of our insect warriors... secretly hunting hundreds of thousands of insects for them to eat is enough."
Lu Yuan sighed: "For the mushrooms..."
"I just said that the mushroom forest cultivated by the Zerg. The ancient civilization has made such a big movement, it cannot be in vain."
"In this crack, low-quality and ordinary-grade mushrooms can't be said to be found everywhere, but there are more than expected..."
"They have many functions. For example, eating a small mushroom is a natural stimulant that can keep people energetic for several days with almost no side effects. It is several times more powerful than adrenaline."
A picture was broadcast on the screen, showing a green, weird-looking mushroom.
"There are also many mushrooms that contain purely natural and harmless spiritual ingredients. Long-term consumption can enhance resistance, enhance the body's strength, eyesight, detoxification ability, etc., which is comparable to the Zerg-enhancing medicine we have worked hard to develop!"
"Of course, that's not to say that strengthening potions are useless. If we can obtain this mushroom in large quantities, we can develop better potions..."
"There is also a blue mushroom that enhances the 'divine attributes'. The hope of the 12-point god for all people may be here... You all know what the concept of 12-point god for all people is."
The members of the parliament in the rear started talking one after another.
Now there is an additional coral island, which produces resources and can barely support everyone at level 3.
But after the population expands, resources are still not enough.
The improvement of divine attributes is the slowest, and it often takes level 4 to reach 12 divine points...
The 12-point divine attribute for all people means that all people can understand the glyphs. This is a great leap forward for the "elite line".
Lu Yuan added: "Our investigation team even discovered a suspected legendary fungus. Its function is... to provide opportunities for enlightenment and inspiration? You should know how precious this thing is..."
"We do not rule out the possibility of higher quality, epic, and immortal mushrooms!"
This photo is very blurry and was taken by a drone.
This fungus has a white umbrella handle and a brown umbrella cover. It looks ordinary in appearance, but it has a strange halo. This kind of idealistic interference phenomenon is obviously of extraordinary quality.
A ratman craftsman at the rear base camp immediately went crazy after seeing the photo: "This is... Pseudomonas psilocybin? My God, you are so lucky!!"
"I heard the price of this thing... it's pricey but not marketable!"
"After eating this magic mushroom, you will see bright colors and changing patterns, and you will also feel that time passes differently. It may become particularly slow or fast, and the surrounding space becomes a little strange, as if
Everything is constantly changing. This creates a kind of weird inspiration... Although it is a hallucinogenic inspiration, it is still inspiration anyway!"
He shouted excitedly: "Let's do this, I'll pay for it! If you get it, I'll pay for it immediately! Our Shumiba civilization can buy it in unlimited quantities! 100... no, 200 Lingyun for a mushroom!"
The expressions on these rat-man craftsmen are simply crazy.
He even took out the mirror and started communicating with the leaders of his own family.
The price of consumables is generally one-fiftieth of that of equipment of the same level!
200 Lingyun for a mushroom is actually a very premium price.
"Master Mouse, does this thing have any side effects?" Lu Yuan was quite speechless, "What if you become addicted to drugs, or your brain doesn't work properly?"
"Oh, you don't understand."
"Sequelae can be reduced through technology, otherwise why would you develop biotechnology?" the rat-man craftsman said angrily, "Do you know that taking drugs can bring you inspirational happiness? If it was our Shumiba civilization, we would have dispatched it long ago.
The army has snatched the psilocybin mushroom. How could it be as hard-working as you... Go grab it quickly and start a war with the Zerg! Then take away your aura, I want inspiration!"
Lu Yuan was speechless. Of course I don't understand... As long as I abstain from sexual intercourse, I will be inspired. Do I need to eat this shitty mushroom?
The psilocybin mushroom was detected by the reconnaissance team using a drone in a fissure at a depth of 80,000 meters.
Even after just one glance, the detector was smashed to pieces by insects.
Of course, his "Devil of Greed" has the ability to go deep... But he really can't corrupt things that humans have discovered, and once the chaos of those ancient insects is caused, the consequences may be very troublesome.
200 aura... not that worth it...
Another video was played on the screen.
A group of caterpillar-like insects are maintaining this mushroom forest. They secrete a green mucus like shellac from their glands.
These precious fungi absorb shellac and geothermal energy to thrive.
This is just like termites on the earth raising a kind of fungus called "Wuling Ginseng"; and above the termite nests, "gallin fungus" often grows. These fungi are quite expensive on earth.
of.
In the same way, these anomaly [insects] will also feed fungi, and the anomaly-level output is naturally extraordinary.
"Based on the current observation results, it is estimated that the extraordinary resources in this Zerg breeding base can easily increase the population of more than 10 million to level 7, which is the current highest level, field master."
"No matter how bad your qualifications are, you can still use resources to pile up..."
"There are also psilocybe mushrooms that inspire people, and there are also fungi that strengthen the body and eyes... If we can get rid of this damn place, other civilization relics will become kindergartens."
This conclusion simply shocked everyone present.
Just when human beings are running and working hard to survive, past civilizations took the initiative to raise these dangerous things!
They even use the characteristics of the Zerg to make them fight among themselves, unable to help each other, and continuously providing output.
What is the concept of output...
What's even more frightening is that such a civilization eventually died out.
For a moment and a half, everyone simply held their breath, not knowing whether to cry or laugh - now humans have clearly seen mountains of gold and silver, but they are unable to dig out, because the total area of ​​​​the layers of this abyss fissure is probably larger than
The area of ​​the earth is ten times larger! There are trillions of Zerg in it!
This feeling is really subtle and shocking.
"In short, now that we have confirmed that these guys will not climb out easily, we cannot give up the opportunity hastily."
"The closer the bugs are to the surface, the weaker their combat effectiveness. We can first find a mushroom forest..."
Raise land!
In the middle of Lu Yuan's words, he suddenly heard a "didi" siren sound, the ground trembled slightly, and even the ceiling began to tremble slightly!
"what happened?!"
"Report! A huge melee broke out among the Zerg in the rift!"
"The magma underground seems to be full, and a small volcanic eruption may have occurred!"
Lu Yuan's pupils dilated slightly, and the meeting could no longer continue: "Everyone has temporarily evacuated the fortress, and the scientists have entered the sky fortress. The soldiers are carrying valuable instruments."
"Put in the drone and conduct detection!"
"Soldiers are always ready for battle!"
…
The military's action speed was very efficient, and the scientists retreated to the Sky Fortress in an orderly manner. The magnitude of the earthquake was not too great, but it did not cause the collapse of the house.
More than a hundred small drones flew into the crack "buzzingly".
After the rock between the crust and the mantle was destroyed, a large amount of red magma poured up. Bugs of different species fought together!
Biting each other crazily!
The air that originally smelled of sulfur was contaminated with the smell of acid and blood.
The melee between the legions was simply breathtaking. All kinds of flames, acid, poisonous gas, and other methods were used, forming a gray mist.
There are some super individuals located underground, just like Godzilla, weighing up to millions of tons, and fighting with each other makes the earth tremble slightly with every blow.
In just a few hours, the entire fissure turned into a meat grinder, with corpses, mucus and internal organs everywhere, splashing onto the rocks.
The remaining ones are still charging and fighting without fear of death.
Lu Yuan's face was ashen. This kind of scene with a large number of deaths every moment is indeed a bit...disgusting.
He finally understood why most of the Zerg races were weak...
"That's not how you raise Gu."
In this battle, more than 90% of the Zerg may die. Aren't the newly born batch of newborns just weak chickens?
But a small number of those who survived were able to grow up as "Gu Kings". It can be said that the older they get, the stronger they become.
"Even... it's not necessarily possible to surpass the original limits of the Zerg." Lu Yuan swallowed.
Chapter completed!
