I Am the Swarm

As time passed, the number of intelligent individuals in the swarm network also increased. Under Rowan's intentional screening, most of them are researchers.

Some of them were remodeled and rejoined the research institute to continue the projects they were in charge of. And some, joined the star company, in charge of the company's private laboratory.

On this day, somewhere in the Xingkong laboratory, the main research project here is the outer space environment.

The Rat People don't have any means of exploring outer space yet, so they don't know the environment there. But Rowan is a literate person. Although he only understands fur, he still knows the basic knowledge of low temperature, no oxygen, no gravity, and full of space radiation.

However, this kind of experiment could not be set up in the official space research institute of the Rat Man because it could not explain its purpose. In the end, it can only be placed on the side of private laboratories and recruit researchers for research.

This laboratory has produced some results under the supply of unlimited funds and resources. They have independently developed instruments that can simulate a vacuum environment. It can also simulate the manufacture of a variety of space radiation.

Space radiation is a special mixture of gamma rays, high-energy protons and cosmic rays, which is extremely harmful to life.

The research project promoted by this laboratory is dedicated to developing a protective clothing that can provide the wearer with the necessary oxygen, while also blocking radiation damage to the body.

While the Star Company is exploring minerals, they need this kind of protective clothing to help their staff go deeper underground and at the same time resist the radiation emitted by some ores.

Of course, this kind of argument is just a reasonable cover for the inside and outside. After all, no matter how much money there is, it is still very suspicious to rashly study some irrelevant things.

Killing the Rat Man is simple, but for Rowan, using the Rat Man's wisdom to develop technology for him is the most important thing. Therefore, most of the time, he still chooses to fool as much as he can.

On this day, a rare crustacean creature with a body length of thirty centimeters was sent to the laboratory.

It is said that it was caught by a fishing boat in the sea and can swim in the sea, but it has wings. Although it is a beetle, it has claws and eight spider-like legs. The material of the carapace is special, which can withstand the strong pressure of the deep sea.

This is a strange creature that has never been discovered, acquired by the laboratory owner through a strong relationship. There are also biological researchers in this laboratory, who usually observe the performance of various biological materials under space radiation. In order to find materials against space radiation from the gifts of nature.

When they saw this beetle, they all sighed in disbelief. This creature challenged their cognition from the appearance. Analyzing this beetle may lead to some amazing discoveries, at least a few papers.

It is impossible to dissect the beetle. The star company has made great efforts to get this beetle to test its various performances in extreme environments. It is very expensive.

Rowan was also a little helpless, unless he had to, he couldn't disguise his body as a test item for others to study. However, in other ways, he has achieved too few achievements, and it is impossible to fly out of the planet in a short period of time. At present, the most reliable way is to use the Rat Man to manufacture flying instruments to reach outer space.

However, he did not travel to outer space, he needs to survive in outer space for a long time. However, the environment in outer space is bad, and there is a suspicion of giving away people's heads if they go there rashly.

He has also accumulated a lot of various genetic fragments over the years, but they are all collected in the environment of the planet, whether it can work in the environment of outer space or not.

Therefore, he needs a simulated environment in outer space, using the oxygen-free vacuum and various radiations in it to stimulate his talent and potential, find useful gene combinations, and continue to evolve and develop.

In this experimental base, there are only a few "own people". It's not that he doesn't want to use all "his own people", but that a certain function of the worm swarm network has been discovered for too short a time, and the number of intelligent individuals in the network is too small.

If he can continue to wait for a few decades, the swarm will definitely be able to save a laboratory that is all "own". But Rowan has waited too long, and in a simulated environment, evolving new capabilities is not something that can be accomplished in a short time. If you want to complete this task in your own laboratory, you might have to wait a hundred years.

So, this pointless waiting is unacceptable to Rowan. He wants to minimize this time as much as possible. Although there are many outsiders in the laboratory now, the safety is very poor, but fortunately, the "ontology" is not something that cannot be lost to the current Rowan, provided that the mother nest is well protected.

And the researchers here are closely monitored to prevent them from leaking secrets. Before they knew it, another parasite had sneaked into them.

The parasite adopts a gene from the iron worm in the praying mantis, which secretes a special substance when necessary. This substance can mix into the nervous system of the parasitic host, communicate with it, disrupt the original protein synthesis order, and simulate nerve signals to send wrong instructions to the host's body.

If someone tried to leak, they would find that his vocal system had malfunctioned and he would be unable to speak. If you don't stop, if you want to continue leaking secrets through other methods, uncontrolled self-destructive behavior is likely to occur.

In this case, they can also be regarded as half of their own people.

The test site was quickly prepared, and Rowan stepped into it without hesitation.

This is a sealed space of several square meters, and 99% of the air inside is extracted. The first thing he has to adapt to is to survive in this anaerobic environment~www.readwn.com~ The first test result was much better than he imagined, he just slept in the room, and the internal structure of the body happened made many small changes.

First of all, when he was opened by a khaki ant, he evolved a fibrous structure that can quickly close the wound, and some changes occurred, forming a flap-like structure.

This petal-like structure can separate the inside of the body into small spaces, which are usually similar to a screen, and will not affect the operation of the internal system. At critical moments, all external passages can be closed, and the inside of the body can be made into a sealed space.

At the same time, the energy stored in the tail fat organ can continuously supply nutrients to the body. This energy can be recycled in the body for a long time, until finally no waste residue is produced, and a small amount of waste gas will also be concentrated in the isolation chamber somewhere in the body, and then discharged.

And this kind of isolation chamber can be formed in any part of the body, using the flap-like structure to be sealed. It can even use its reaction force to change the direction of flight when the exhaust is exhausted.

If you add or modify some powerful sphincter muscles in specific parts, you can even use these exhaust gases to speed up flight. It's just that the upper limit of this acceleration is still relatively low for the time being, but don't forget that there is no air in outer space. At that time, the wings will be useless, and this kind of flight may play a very large role in space.

The problem of body sealing and circulation in the body is easily solved. As long as the problem of energy acquisition is solved, at least, he can survive for a long time in an anaerobic environment.

However, outer space is not just anaerobic, anaerobic is only the easiest problem to solve.
