How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 184: Build and find

   Standing on a volcanic highland, looking at the ups and downs of the "spider flowers" on the endless sea below, they are using the temperature difference between the atmosphere and the boiling sea to continuously produce the nutrients needed by collectors.

   "Think, where is the problem before? Why is there so much deviation from the expected time?"

   "The specific reason is still being looked for."

   "Why can't I find it? This should be a very simple thing."

   "I want to know this too."

   Si replied helplessly, Si's previous thoughts were the same as sustainability, and wanted to find out the problem that caused the planned time deviation and then solve it.

  Since the period of embryo formation is different from the expected time, it should be that there is some problem in the gene. I have checked the entire gene chain and found no problem.

   is not only thinking, every collector, as an investigator, has not found out where the problem lies in the genetic examination.

   You must know that this new organism is designed by collectors from the very basics. They are all very clear about what information each piece of gene represents. It is a very strange thing not to find the problem.

   If there are omissions in Si's inspection, are there omissions in the inspections of all collectors?

   Then what is the reason why none of the collectors found the problem?

   "...That is to say, this problem cannot be solved now, is it?"

   "It looks like this is correct."

   "Then put it aside first, and then we need to create a stable environment for ourselves. The environment full of lava is not suitable for us to develop ourselves."

   "When will this land preparation project start?"

"right now."

   The selected collectors climbed to their mission location, and began to cocoon and change their form just like the previous collectors.

The sharp limbs of    were abandoned and became nutrient materials and returned to the body. When the cocoon gradually hardened and fell off, a creature resembling a plant sapling showed its shape from it.

  The information of the sapling appeared in the channel of life field.

   "I need nutrients."

  Not long, around the ‘sapling’, a transfer chain composed of several collectors will deliver the layers of the ‘spider web’ to the ‘sapling’.

  Nutrients are placed near that creature, and the root system of the ‘sapling’ is drawn from the ground to tightly wrap the nutrients, and then grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Upward is a bare pillar, which looks like a foundation laid by a construction site from a distance. Downward, the root network is constantly branching and growing. It has a super-fiber skin. Even if the root system encounters underground magma, it will not be burned and scorched immediately. When encountering steam hot springs, I simply ignore them.

   On the surface, when these ‘saplings’ just started to grow, the hard volcanic ground still spewed out steam hot springs or lava from time to time, as if the earth was ruthlessly mocking the ‘little things’ that tried to dominate it.

   However, with the passage of time, the turbulent hot springs stopped, and the lava emerging from the cracks in the ground also condensed into carbon black and extremely hot volcanic rock.

   When the collectors destroyed and transported the volcanic rocks that were scattered high and low with their limbs, the whole project came to an end.

   "Strange..."

   "Why is there no problem at this time?"

   thoughtfully moved his eyes back and forth between "Spider Flower" and "Sapling".

   "What is the key thing missing?"

   The only thing that notices this is thinking. The plan of the collector is in order, and there is no time to think about unnecessary things until the plan is over.

   On the perpetual side, the foundation has been laid, and there is no need to worry about the danger of a high-pressure gas jet suddenly emerging around here.

Moreover, the elimination of danger is only incidental, and the stable environment provides them with a good guarantee for constructing other types of functional individuals. After all, not every organism is as agile as the collectors, and functional individuals constructed by pooling resources So scalded to death by the gas jets that suddenly emerged from the ground is nothing but a loss for the collectors.

   Honeycombs rose from the ground, familiar rhizomes were erected, and the gatherers were consumed, and one after another was bred again to arrange other tasks.

   From a distance, if you put a mosaic on it, you can easily mistake it for a city.

   Honeycombs and temperature-sensing cells are combined together, so that the electricity needed for production can be obtained. Although it is very small, it is enough. Using electrolysis and chemical replacement, the chemical resource reserves for perpetuating them are gradually increasing.

Of course, not all collectors will be transformed into other functional entities, such as those that require high mobility, such as mining rocks, planning surveying and mapping, exploring new areas, etc., because the assigned tasks maintain the best posture, so these The collector will not change his form.

During this period, the erection of rhizomes also occurred inconsistent with the previous similar estimated time. Similarly, the deviation was extremely large. Fortunately, it had nothing to do with nutrients. The worst case was at most a serious delay in the progress of the project~lightnovelpub.net~ The thought responsible for designing genes, the organized agent also checked the genes of the rhizome, but still found nothing, and did not find out the root cause of the problem.

   "Think, Sustainability and send a message asking us what is the reason for the wrong time estimation. If we can't find the reason, it will affect the follow-up task. Let us solve it quickly."

"Got it."

  Si continued to investigate genes one by one in the Life Field channel, and the amount of investigation has increased a lot than before, because the types of problems have increased.

After    over and over again, I still can’t find out where the problem is.

"Why is this so?"

   "Obviously there are no errors or conflicts in the expression of the genes, these genes are all right."

  The collectors who make up the agent only feel that there is a dark cloud in front of them, and they can't find the direction to move forward. The breadth of thinking is not lost to sustainable thinking, and they are also in trouble at this moment.

   At this time, a collector put forward an idea.

   "Perhaps... it's not that there is a genetic problem, but... something else that we have overlooked."

   As soon as this proposal came out, it was immediately questioned by other people of the same family.

   "According to your thoughts, then tell me, what exactly can affect the growth rate of an individual?"

   "If there is really something wrong with it, why can't we see it on the genetic map?"

  ……

   "Stop, it's right, we really missed something."

   The question was interrupted by thinking abruptly. It swept away the previous decadence, and eagerly established a connection with the continuity in the life field channel.

   "Sustainability, I found the reason."
