I Am the Swarm

Chapter 123: Cannonworm

As time passed, Rowan's seed experiments also yielded some good results.

One of them is his favorite.

This is a mix of various spore plant genes.

Spore plants include algae, lichens, fungi, bryophytes, and ferns. And this new seed made by Rowan contains all the genes of spore plants.

It combines many excellent properties, and its requirements for the planting environment are not so severe, it is resistant to cold and heat, and it is resistant to drought. It can fully absorb the nutrients in the surrounding soil, and can even corrode and decompose rocks and minerals by secreting a special acid substance.

This also makes their yield per unit area higher. The most important thing is that most of their parts are edible, and the taste is not bad, rich in protein, and the taste is also in line with the taste of insects, sweet.

The crop has now replaced the original white mycelium, greatly increasing the yield of underground plantations.

However, there is still some gap between this and his original goal, and continuous improvement is required.

The swarm that killed the giant python was considered to be among the top predators by strength. The territory was recognized by the powerful creatures around it, and there was no situation where the door was blocked by the peak boss.

Those bigwigs are basically single, they each encircle a territory, and they are done with feeding themselves every day. If you are willing to move, you will find the opposite door to fight, and move your muscles and bones. Then wait with peace of mind to grow old and be replaced by other top creatures.

But what they don't know is that the emerging force is different from them. This is a very aggressive force. It's not their goal at all to encircle a piece of land in the forest for their own amusement.

The forces of the insect swarm are expanding rapidly, and before those big men with peak combat power come to block the door, the combat troops of the insect swarm have already hit the door.

The first thing that was cleaned up was the flying insect nest. These guys who chased Rowan up and down were not strictly speaking from the top group of the food chain.

But they are numerous, have flying advantages, and are poisonous, so most creatures really dare not provoke them. And those who can provoke them can't fly, and there is no way to take them. They can fly, small ones can't beat them, and large ones can't enter the complex environment in the forest.

For various reasons, they have become the tyrants of the forest. But now they have an opponent.

Zerg Air Forces of the same template are on par with them in terms of speed, but don't forget, there is a long-range version of the Zerg Air Force.

One side is melee combat, and the other is long-range sniping. Everyone has the same speed. In the case of the Zerg Air Force playing a round first, they will run after the fight.

Flying and lowering the height, a large group of spider war worms are waiting on the ground. As long as the flying insects dare to chase after them, the spider war bugs will let them know the power of the sticky claws.

Don't forget, their genetic prototype is a powerful hunter that hides on the cliff and catches small insects. They are very good at dealing with these flying insects.

It took a few rounds like this, and the flying insect nest was completely lost, and the old nest was broken by the swarm air force.

In fact, the first flying insect nest was so hard to fight. When the second flying insect nest was encountered, the combat troops of the insect swarm had already undergone several rounds of expansion, and some new troops had been added.

The second flying insect nest under the tree.

Several large beetles crawled out of the swarm. They are more than one meter long, with black sturdy figures, with a gun barrel on their backs sticking out from the center of the shoulder armor, and extending forward more than thirty centimeters from the top of their heads.

In terms of shape, they are like crazy tanks, very cool.

These big beetles are large cannon bugs researched by Rowan, which integrates a variety of biological genes with shooting talents. It was originally intended to deal with pterosaurs.

But the idea is rich and the reality is very skinny. It is obviously unrealistic to "tank" to fight "aircraft". Even if they take advantage of various biological genes, increase their size, lengthen their gun barrels, and increase the space of the reaction chamber in their bodies, their effective range can only reach 100 meters. Beyond this distance, it is basically a fate shot.

And when they are lying down, the maximum shooting angle is only thirty degrees. Even if Rowan strengthened the strength and length of the two pairs of feet in front of them, so that they could support the front of the body like a bracket, the maximum shooting angle was only 70 degrees.

There is such a large blind spot for shooting, and the range is still short, how can this be played?

At the same time, their production cost is also very staggering. They stayed in the larval stage for more than 60 days before they were cast into shape. If it weren't for the expansion of the cultivation area of ​​the underground farm, the swarm would really not be able to withstand this kind of torment.

Fortunately, they have all been added with the genes of eating soil and dormancy. They usually stand by in the underground base, wake up when needed, and pull them out for a walk.

Not only this kind of large cannon worm, but also some other targeted worms, there are not many. Because they are all developed for some peak bosses, their uses are extremely limited, and there is no value for large-scale deployment of troops.

Although this kind of large-scale cannonworm can be regarded as Rowan's most failed work at present, it is basically useless. But that's where they can't find their talents.

For example, now, pulling over to hit a fixed target or something is not a problem. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

The cannon worm reached the shooting position, stretched out its feet and slowly propped up its body, raising the muzzle.

Taking time out, Rowan, who was watching remotely through the insect swarm network, couldn't help but sighed. He was preparing at this speed, not to mention flying in the sky, and it is estimated that he could not hit the ground running. It is estimated that in addition to fixing the target, you can also play snails.

Their projectiles are hot and corrosive, gelatinous solids that stick to the target when they hit, continuously delivering poison.

The nests of the flying insects are hung at a height of 20 meters on the tree trunk. The building materials are the secretions of flying insects and plant fibers, which will oxidize and harden after drying.

There were a few low-pitched cannonballs, and several dark yellow cannonballs flew out. Except for one shot that missed, the rest all hit the flying insect nest.

In a short distance, the kinetic energy of these shells is still very strong, and several holes were punched out of the flying insect nest. As soon as some flying insects got out of their nests to check the situation, they were instantly killed by the swarm air force who had been waiting on the side.

Then, a few more shells came, this time all hitting the middle of the nest. The flying insect nest was cut in two, and the second half fell directly to the ground. The stunned flying insects just climbed out, and before they took off, they were stabbed to death by spider war worms.

In the half of the tree, large groups of flying insects crawled out of the nest from the fractures and holes, and then they were intensively shot by the air force of the insect swarm, and few of them were able to take off.

The battle ended quickly, except for the spider warworm under the tree, there was basically no hand-to-hand combat in other places.

After the war, the cannon bugs returned to the base to hide. After this actual combat test, although the performance of the cannon worm is OK, the place where it can actually play is really limited.

If there is a shortage of resources in the future, recycling can be considered.
