Something's wrong with these zerg

Chapter 27
The Zerg is a race without individual consciousness, either acting on instinct or following the spiritual instructions of the Zerg Queen.

If Mo Lan wants to control the Zerg to do something, she needs to issue a series of different mental commands to each Zerg soldier very carefully, just like controlling a puppet to complete the corresponding action with her own hands.

Because the Zerg cannot make conscious judgments by themselves, if Mo Lan wants a Zerg to fetch the items on the table for her, then the mental command she wants to issue is definitely not as simple as "Bring the things here", but "Go!" Go to that position, pick up the things on it, and then walk back", she must clearly tell me how to do it.

Only individuals with the ability to think can understand the meaning of the spiritual instructions by themselves, so as to make judgments and decide how to complete this process.

The Zerg don’t need Molan to guide them one by one only in aspects related to their instincts, such as hunting and predation behavior. As long as Molan passes on a consciousness, the Zerg will use the most appropriate method to catch prey and find food. Mo Lan manipulated the Zerg to do this kind of thing, but couldn't bring out the individual abilities of the Zerg.

From this perspective, it is understandable that the successive Zerg queens uniformly chose a simple and rude development model. No matter how powerful the spiritual power is, it is impossible to control countless Zergs at the same time. Some Zergs act according to this instruction, and the details are adjusted separately.

Can't say lazy, can only be powerless.

To sum up, Mo Lan could only issue an order to the two tentacle bugs guarding the door, "Guard the door, kill non-Zerg intruders", and could not do more.

As for the hatching nest and those prey corpses to be transformed in the nest, Mo Lan was not worried at first, just like the store or merchant NPC in the game, the hatching nest is equivalent to a store, and the energy point is the game currency. You can see the store There are a lot of goods in it, can you snatch it?Obviously not.

... Then Mo Lan realized that she had misjudged this group of players.

The game store cannot be moved because in those games, the store is just a texture, and the game characters have no corresponding actions.

But in front of this group of players is a completely open free world, they can try all the behaviors they think of, and get the normal feedback they should have, instead of the game characters stuck in front of the air wall, Or weapon blows punching through walls...

This thing can be moved away. The players discovered this fact, and then they moved it away. The dumb gatekeeper Zerg turned a blind eye to the weird behavior of the same race, and still guarded the gate conscientiously.

"..." If it weren't for the fact that other races couldn't disguise themselves as Zergs, the Zerg Queen would be assassinated by humans [-] times a year with this level of guarding. Mo Lan pressed her eyebrows and felt a headache.

However, she is not afraid of any loopholes that the players will find after they move away from the hatching nest. There are two ways for the Zerg to eat food. Most Zerg have sharp, exaggerated teeth.

The other is to convert the prey into energy through the hatching nest, and use the tentacle-like nutrient tube to directly transport it to the Zerg's body, similar to how humans beat glucose. This method is fast and convenient, and the energy conversion rate is high, so there is no waste.

On this basis, Mo Lan added the existence of "energy points", which are equivalent to the current in-game currency.

The hatching nest can convert the prey into energy. However, players definitely cannot carry this energy with them. I have never seen anyone who has to bring a dozen catties of lunch with him when he goes out. The energy that exceeds what he can absorb must be calculated and accumulated. Become one of the players' belongings.

Energy points are the conversion of energy into numerical values, which are issued to players in the form of data. They exist as game currency. Although energy points can only be used to exchange for new game characters, which is the number of resurrections that players say, Molan There will definitely be something else added to encourage players to trade energy points.

The initial ratio is 2 energy points equal to 1 energy point. If the hunting ability of the players increases later, Molan will also increase the ratio between the two as appropriate to maintain the "game balance".

Players moving the hatching nest can't bring any substantial benefits. If I have to say it, it can save them more than 20 minutes of walking, and they don't have to run from the hillside at the birth point to Zerg lair 1.

However, Zerg Lair 1 was originally one of the rest spots Molan prepared for this group of players. Is there any point in moving the things at home?

Mo Lan didn't know, and the players themselves probably didn't know too well, but they just wanted to do this, so they did it.

"May I ask, what's the point of you bringing it here?" Squatting beside the hatching nest, Tang Chao Lizi looked at the people lying on the ground with a sincere expression. The Zerg didn't feel tired because they didn't have individual consciousness. , no concept of tiredness.

Players are different. After doing one thing for a long time, they will inevitably feel "tired". It may be physical or psychological. In addition, the level of satiety has dropped again and again, which also affects the game that players control themselves. The character's senses.

"I don't know." Daqin Qianqiu Wandai replied honestly, with simple words, "It will definitely be useful after moving all of them back."

Upright and upright, he stood up, "The meaning is that we can move it here."

"Have you ever thought about the limitations of this game? What things we can do and what things we can't do. For example, although I haven't played the game of Universe Star Tour, I have read a lot of reviews. It is very complete, from what to do at the beginning to what can be done later, everything has been stipulated, and players only need to experience it step by step.”

"But "Zerg" is different. It is still in beta testing, and the players are only us. The game panel is so simple that there are only a few lines of content. The game tasks are even more simple. There is no game guide, no beginner tutorial, nothing No, everything has to be explored by ourselves.”

"So, is there a possibility? This is exactly what the game production team actually wants to see. They also want to confirm how much we, as players, can do in this holographic game with a very high degree of openness and freedom."

Several other people were shocked by the words of being open and honest, and after thinking about it, they felt that it was quite reasonable.

"Isn't this game made by the production team? Don't they know what can be done in the game?" Tang Chao Lizi raised his hand weakly and asked.

"You should all have heard that Cosmic Star Tour uses a brand-new artificial intelligence system. This artificial intelligence system should be different from your imagination. It is not the kind of intelligent AI like human beings that are often found in film and television dramas, but a pure AI system. As a data calculation, artificial intelligence with a certain logic."

Open and honest, he picked a grass leaf from the ground, "Like this, how much calculation and data do you think humans need to achieve such a realistic effect."

"The biggest feature of holographic games is reality. It is so real that people think that this is the second world. However, the whole world is so huge. It is not a room or a tree, but a combination of countless variables."

"Therefore, Cosmic Star Games chose a tricky mode, rigidly stipulating the game's flow, so that the amount of data cannot exceed the calculation range of artificial intelligence. It seems that players are free to choose, but when the options are drawn, it is also Players have only these choices. You can also see that the Zerg is different, the production team has great ambitions, and they did not use the same tricky method as the universe star game, they are indeed accomplishing the goal of the 'second world'. "

"Thus, the universe star game has already been put on the shelves, and the Zerg has only started the internal test. I don't know what kind of marketing method is posting on the forum, but I can see from the post that the production team is also exploring. In the same way, the world is full of unknowns.”

"Oh, I understand, I understand, let's drink tea first." Tang Chao Lizi, as if she had been taught, bowed and offered the red fruit picked by her and Princess Meng Yiyi with both hands, replacing tea with fruit .

Princess Meng Yiyi glanced at Tang Chao Lizi in surprise, but she didn't make a sound. She quietly raised the corners of her mouth and watched as Guangming took the fruit and threw it into her mouth.

"This fruit smells so good...um..." Halfway through speaking, Guangming suddenly stopped talking, picked up another fruit with a calm expression, and handed it to Daqin Qianqiuwandai who was closest to him.

"Thank you." Honest Renminbi Qin Qianqiu Wandai said thanks, and threw it into his mouth without much doubt, "It's very fragrant...uh..."

"Wow, what is this? It smells so good. Give me one too." The Shunfeng courier smelled the sweet smell of the red fruit after the skin was broken, and got up to ask for it himself.

"Here." Guangming's voice trembled slightly, but his tone was smiling. The Shunfeng courier didn't notice anything wrong. He took several of them and put them in his arms, and tasted them unceremoniously.

Li Ruhua needs to be more sensitive, subconsciously feel that there seems to be something wrong, just about to look at other people, Princess Meng Yiyi suddenly appeared in front of her, and handed over a red fruit, her voice was sweet and gentle, "Here you are."

"Ah, thank you." Knowing that behind the horrible bug in front of him was a rich lady who was said to be very beautiful, Li Ruhua raised her hand to take it in embarrassment, forgetting what she was going to do, and just put it in her mouth.

"It's so sweet... oh, it's so bitter... ouch..." Following the shriek of the Shunfeng courier, Guangming and Daqin Qianqiu Wandai vomited at the same time.

Li Ruhua, who realized something was wrong but had already thrown the fruit into her mouth, stared wide-eyed at Princess Meng Yiyi who silently retreated, with a face full of disbelief that this supposedly very gentle and amiable rich lady would plot against him !
The sweet aroma filled the entire mouth, but in just an instant, all the sweet aroma turned into unspeakable bitterness.

"Hey...where did you two find this thing...hey...it smells so sweet and tastes so bitter!"
