Chapter 427: Chapter 271: Creating the Biological Battleship!
Jiang Chan said: “So biological weapons don’t have much lethal effect on the Zerg, such as genetic bombs. The Zerg’s genes themselves are the most powerful genetic weapons. Also, acids and poisons, the Zerg have strong biological defense chanisms. Especially the Planet Dominators, they are even more formidable in this aspect!”
“I think we still have to rely on biological energy organs, combining the Zerg’s technology with ours, to create biological magnetic field organs, biological electric field control organs, spherical lightning cannon biological controllers, and so on.”
“Hmm.” He Xingzhou agreed, “We’re short on ti, so let’s use the body of the Noah Insect King as a biological warship template for modification.”
They gathered a biological warship design team of hundreds of thousands of people to jointly develop the biological warship.
Since the invention of the Quantum Chip implantation and Biological Computer technology, the proportion of researchers among humans has increased ten thousandfold!
Because everyone has mory and computing power comparable to a Quantum Computer, along with genetic optimization, anyone casually sent back to the past from modern human society would be considered a genius-level figure.
The definition of “genius” has long been rewritten; only those who can explore frontier technology or basic science can be called geniuses.
According to the intelligence Wen Heng gathered in the Virtual Universe, not all civilizations are the sa.
Most Level 1 civilizations, even the 1.8-level Southern River Civilization and the 1.9-level Sirius Civilization, only elites among them have access to genetic modification or chip implantation.
The progress of He Xingzhou and others was rapid; in just a few months, they designed a basic biological warship.
It generally still resembled the Noah Insect King, with added human control elents and so targeted biological organs.
“The Mars Insect Nest is the best factory for cultivating biological warships!” He Xingzhou discovered another advantage of biological warships, realizing that the Insect Nests on Mars were essentially biochemical factories built by the Zerg.
Fortunately, because they needed to study biological technologies, they hadn’t destroyed the Insect Nests; they just needed modifications to “manufacture” biological warships imdiately.
Manufacturing biological warships is, of course, not like assembling chanical warships.
But needs to involve genetic design and external embryo cultivation.
“Using a large amount of growth hormone can accelerate the formation speed of biological warships! Although this will lead to very short lifespans for them!” Song Jinhong said, “A normal Zerg’s lifespan is over a thousand years; after reaching the Planet Giant Beast level, it’s tens of thousands, with Planet Dominators capable of surviving tens of millions of years!”
“Our use of growth hormones will accelerate their cellular aging, with an expected lifespan of no more than a thousand years.”
“That’s enough; even if they only last ten years, it’s sufficient!” He Xingzhou said, “The biological warships we design now will inevitably be lost in war consumption.”
Jiang Chan regretted, “If only there was a way to control the Zerg; they could be automatic evolving biological weapons!”
“Let’s not have such ideas for now.” He Xingzhou said, “The Order Alliance expressly forbids attempting to control the Zerg.”
“According to them, even advanced civilizations cannot truly control the Zerg.”
“Moreover, we can’t afford to provoke the Order Alliance now.” He Xingzhou said.
“Okay, I understand.” Jiang Chan quickly abandoned the idea.
She had indeed thought about finding ways to control the Zerg, such as neuro-chanics, brainwave control, parasitic Brain Insect control, etc.
There were humans who tried, like Dr. Barry who eventually beca the Barry Worm King.
“By recklessly using growth hormones, in about eighteen months, we can artificially produce the Noah Biological Warship.” Zhuge Yi calculated and said.
“Eighteen months?” He Xingzhou thought for a mont and said, “Then let’s do it; allocate resources imdiately and start.”
…
While they were rushing to produce weapons here, on other planets, human reconnaissance ships were also taking action.
In the orbit of Venus, an “invisible” L4-level reconnaissance ship was quietly approaching Venus.
Venus, the second planet from the Sun in the Solar System, has an orbital revolution period of 224.7 days and no natural satellites.
Humans have also not discovered a Space Insect Nest in Venus’ orbit.
It’s a terrestrial planet similar to the Blue Star, often called Blue Star’s sister planet, about 40.5 million kiloters away from Blue Star, closer than the distance between Mars and Blue Star.
However, humans understand less about it than they do about Mars!
This planet is very special; its core has solidified, with an iron-nickel core of about 3100 kiloters in radius, which is a super-large tallic inner core. Like Mars, the core cooling has led to a very weak planetary magnetic field, nearly negligible on a planetary scale.
“Captain, we’ve arrived! Venus is ahead!” The vice-captain Xiong Manni shouted in the communicator aboard the L4-level reconnaissance ship, Z-66.
“Oh oh, I know.” Huang Sheng’s image appeared on the communication screen, as he was donning space armor.
In the final battle of the Catastrophe Era, most of Huang Sheng’s biological chanisms were damaged, and he donned prosthetic organs. After being restored as a cyborg, he even participated in the Mars war.
He has now beco a captain.
Seeing Huang Sheng’s actions, Xiong Manni frowned, “Are you planning to personally go recon? You’re the captain! If you had an accident…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Huang Sheng interrupted, “Then you’ll take over as captain, Comrade Xiong Manni!”
“You…” Xiong Manni was helplessly exasperated; this person loved adventure too much. If not for this attitude, with his achievents, he could have been promoted beyond the role of reconnaissance ship captain, perhaps even to fleet commander.
“Love you!” Huang Sheng said with a cheeky grin, then cut off the video.
He and Xiong Manni got married seven years ago and now belong to the sa couple unit.
A pair of space armors, including manned armor and unmanned armor, flew simultaneously toward Venus.
They had probed Venus many tis, mostly using robots, but the information detected was limited.
Moreover, the robots were always destroyed; this ti they planned to send people for a closer look.
Xiong Manni commanded, “Maintain the warship’s stealth mode, ready to provide assistance at any mont.”
She dared not let the warship get too close; the warship would be too large a target and could easily be discovered by the Venus Insect Clan.
To ensure nothing went wrong, Xiong Manni also contacted the fleet command.
“Commander Luo, he’s going to personally explore Venus!” Xiong Manni reported helplessly to Luo An, “I’m requesting the nearby reconnaissance ships to coordinate in case of an accident.”
“This Huang Sheng is still so daring even after becoming a captain, I’ll discipline him once he returns!” Commander Luo An said, though internally he thought that the fleet occasionally needed such individuals.
If every captain played it safe, the fleet would lack opportunities to create miracles.
“Don’t worry, there are three reconnaissance ships nearby, I’ll have them head to Venus orbit to provide support.”
“Yes!” After communicating with the command, Xiong Manni shifted her focus to the detection equipnt.
At this point, her mind connected through the Biological Computer to one of the unmanned chas.
Around “her” were three thousand space armors, a thousand of which had people inside, and two thousand unmanned armors.
Behind the armors, several thousand space drones and reconnaissance satellites were providing cover and communication.
“About to enter Venus’ atmosphere, adjusting pressure and temperature.” AI tips sounded in Xiong Manni’s ears.
She saw an endless, thick cloud layer ahead of her.
This was a unique spectacle of Venus, a planet perpetually covered by a highly reflective, opaque sulfuric acid cloud layer!
Its atmospheric pressure is more than ninety tis that of Blue Star!
No normal human or machine can bear it, so the armors that co to Venus are specially modified.
Due to this thick cloud layer, it is completely impossible for outer space exploration to know what is inside this planet.
“92 standard atmospheres, temperature 427 degrees Celsius.” The figures in front of them made everyone a little nervous; this was not a planet where humans could survive!
In such extre environnts, what kind of Zerg could possibly be born?
Previously captured Zerg were just ordinary Space Insect Race flying in outer space; the true Venus Insect Clan were hidden inside this virtually unvisited planet!
“Current wind speed 360 kiloters/hour, significant flight resistance.” At the cloud layer’s top, they first felt the “warm welco” from Venus.
Under 92 tis Blue Star’s atmospheric pressure, this wind speed is akin to journeying against ocean currents a thousand ters below the sea!
In the thick sulfuric acid clouds, there seed to be places continually emitting light.
