    " Everything else is progressing smoothly, especially your master's plan to optimize the appearance of civilized creatures, which is more than 80% ahead of schedule." Because I have been doing research and experiments before, I didn't pay attention to other aspects.  , this temporary leisure is just a good time to understand the situation, and by the way, resolve all the matters before leaving.  However, he did not pay much attention to the appearance optimization plan that was spurred on because this civilized creature was too ugly. He did not think that this plan of changing the body and abandoning the original body would be fast. He even  It is planned to be subtle over hundreds of years.  How did he know that this plan turned out to be the most efficient in completing it, and it even exceeded the target limit.  I didn't think much about it, but now I think back to the enthusiastic expressions of the surviving officers when they heard me telling them my plan to conquer the galaxy. It's really hard to understand.  This civilization is like the Nazis in the history of the earth. People from the top to the bottom, no matter what their status, seem to have an extraordinary fanaticism for war and invasion, that is, siege cities and territories.  If it weren¡¯t for this kind of fanaticism, Tags probably wouldn¡¯t have been so easily controlled by him.  The new body not only has a longer lifespan, but also has strength, reaction, etc. that greatly exceed their original body. For a war-mad civilization, what could be more powerful than a body that is stronger and more suitable for fighting.  Not to mention the instinct that all living things have to survive, even if it exceeds their lifespan.  Besides, those leaders have changed their bodies.  Although he didn't know much about the Zerg, he was extremely concerned about such a new body. In addition, there were basically no traditional constraints in this civilization. Thinking about this, Li Ping understood the reason.  In fact, Li Ping has not thought about the changes in the appearance of various groups of the Zerg themselves, but in order to better utilize their abilities in various aspects, the current appearances must be maintained for the time being.  Generally speaking, Li Ping is still a person who puts practicality first, so he can only retain the appearance of these ethnic groups with regrets.  If he becomes stronger in the future, maybe Li Ping will improve his men to be more domineering and powerful, but don't think about it for now.  Thinking about the big battle with those aliens in the future, Li Ping even thought about changing the appearance of those bugs to be more evil and disgusting, so that they might be able to intimidate the enemy with their appearance during the war.  However, when it came to war, Li Ping inevitably thought of resources, so the issue of silicon crystal was raised again.  At present, the Zerg can only synthesize a few basic organic compounds using the alpha particles released when energy is extracted from silicon crystals, and the efficiency is too low, so most materials need to be collected.  If the utilization of silicon crystal can be increased, then the Zerg will have less demand for other resources. Although the Zerg does not have high requirements for resource quality, it cannot do without iron, aluminum, copper and other metal and non-metal resources.  .  But after all, these resources are also bulk resources that are needed by both technological and non-technological civilizations. To be honest, Li Ping really does not want to compete with those civilizations for these ordinary resources.  Li Ping didn¡¯t pay much attention to these ordinary resources, but instead set his sights on more advanced resources and energy-integrated materials, which were silicon crystals.  Based on current research, Li Ping has determined that silicon crystal has a large amount of energy and the ability to convert into a large amount of ordinary resources.  Although the current strength of the Zerg is not enough to fully utilize the silicon crystal, in the entire universe, silicon crystal is like a mixture of oil and US dollars, a universal energy source and hard currency.  Some places where silicon crystal mineral deposits are concentrated are like oil fields, occupied by powerful forces.  According to the information obtained by Li Ping, the two super mining star systems discovered so far are occupied by two civilized races, Laja and Keston.  There are other small and medium-sized mining star systems, which are occupied by powerful parties.  It can be said that Li Ping wants to get a large amount of silicon crystals. Unless he discovers the mining area, he can only grab it. This grab will inevitably lead to a war.  However, what interests Li Ping is that it is said that even the Keston civilization, which has the highest level of technology, has not been able to fully utilize silicon crystals. It is simply a fantasy to rely entirely on silicon crystals like in the game, at least for now.  Resources such as iron, copper, aluminum, etc. are all needed by civilization, and the amounts are also huge.  But Li Ping had a hunch that silicon crystal would never be that simple.  Regardless of the premonition, except for the energy aspect of silicon crystal, whether it is in terms of utilization rate, use or current reserves, the Zerg are not suitable to use silicon crystal as the main source of energy and matter.  Although Li Ping already has a certain amount of silicon crystals, these are used to prevent emergencies, and silicon crystals are found in the Milky Way.Although the probability of ?? is not zero, without any knowledge of the environment in which it was generated, the probability of finding silicon crystal in the Milky Way is not much greater than zero.  Li Ping felt that whether he was looking for it himself or snatching it from others, without the support of a mining area, even just a planetary vein, it would be impossible for him to use silicon crystal as a common resource.  On the other hand, even if the silicon crystal does not have such great power, the Zerg still have a backup method of material transformation.  Although the current research progress is still very low on the utilization of silicon crystals, just a few basic organic compounds synthesized by alpha particles are enough for Li Ping to pay attention to silicon crystals.  It is a pity that these basic organic substances with low yields cannot fully meet the needs of the Zerg. There are also several basic organic substances with the most uses and the widest range that need to be obtained from other places.  The entire Zerg race is basically developed based on this series of basic organic matter.  "The transformation of alpha particles has given Li Ping a very good research direction.  If we continue to research and wait until this technology can synthesize all the basic materials needed by the Zerg, then the basic resources of the Zerg will not be a problem.  Because alpha particles can be obtained not only from silicon crystals in large quantities, but also from stellar winds, and even from bombarding ordinary matter with high-energy rays.  As long as this is achieved, the Zerg will have extremely strong adaptability and resistance to destruction.  Of course, it would be best if the silicon crystal could convert all the resources needed by the Zerg!  This may be a bit greedy, but the support for this research is inseparable from Li Ping's extreme fear of death.  And Li Ping¡¯s habit of reading YY novels and cartoons also made him different from the common bad habits of scientific workers at that time, which were narrow vision and low creative imagination.  His whimsical ideas and courage to do things boldly are all necessary qualities for him to achieve his current achievements.  Rich imagination, this is also the most important aspect for the development of Zerg.  If it were other "traditional" scientists, how could they refer to games? Of course, it would be impossible to seriously study the feasibility of the technologies in games, animations and novels, and of course there would be no Zerg today.  Closer to home, although Li Ping has always been concerned about the application technology of silicon crystal, he can only do this slowly, and there are not many shortcuts.  If we insist on a shortcut, it would be good to steal the research and application technology of silicon crystals from those advanced civilizations, but that can only be said to rely on luck, and it will be luck for a long time.  Now, we just need to wait for the completion of Project B-2 to optimize the Zerg genes and carry out a major evolution.  However, Li Ping is very strict with his body. Only when the shipworm experiment proves the actual effectiveness of the new tissue can Li Ping update his body. After all, even if there is only one part in a hundred million difference between theory and practice, the final result may be  Completely different, Li Ping still needs to maintain this caution.  Besides, Li Ping has no plans to set sail immediately. He wants to fuse the shipworm, turn it into a body of more than two thousand meters, and fill it with high-energy fat before taking off.  Now, Li Ping is becoming more and more familiar with the universe and does not feel empty or scared. He has overcome the cosmic phobia when civilization first emerged from the planet and faced the vast universe. He also has a good understanding of the preparations required for space navigation.  It is a qualified cosmic civilization.  "How long will it take to complete B-2?" Li Ping, who was a little bored after searching this civilization, couldn't wait for space navigation. After thinking in a daze for a long time, he finally came to his senses and asked Louise.  "It is estimated that it will take another five to six hours." In other words, in another five to six hours, Li Ping can transform the results of his research into genes, then let the entire Zerg race evolve, and then set off to continue space navigation.  In fact, Li Pingyuan originally planned to complete B-1, which is to carry out the evolution of the Zerg after the research on the high-energy core is completed, so that the Zerg's abilities in all aspects can be greatly improved.  The idea is very good, but the research on high-energy core has not been smooth, let alone its manufacturing process.  Li Ping, who was somewhat impatient, directly borrowed some new technologies and created a temporarily unstable substitute based on high-energy fat - high-energy tissue of the body.  Of course, compared to the high-energy core made of silicon crystal, the energy density that this high-energy tissue can withstand is less than half of the former, but it is much more efficient than ordinary tissues.  "Well, then just wait for one day! In twenty-four hours, we will start to integrate technologies and update genes." Li Ping made up his mind. It would be better if there is a breakthrough in the high-energy tissue of the body within these twenty-four hours. Even if not, he will  It's okay to use this kind of organization, after all, it's better than nothing.  As for the high-energy core, although Li Ping is still researching it, he has completely given up the extravagant hope of producing results in the short term. This kind of thing will gradually be developed in the future.Research it.  During the next period of time, Li Ping was not idle. Li Ping decided to use the death protein to take the first step and cultivate a virus that could destroy this civilized creature.  Taking into account various abilities, Li Ping finally put this gene into the original gene bank.  This is just Li Ping¡¯s trump card, a trump card he will use in case this civilization gets out of control and threatens him.  It is naturally too dangerous for today's civilization where good people cannot be good, and it would be bad if something goes wrong.  However, at present, this acute virus can only deal with genetically implanted organic organisms, and its effective time is only a few days, less than a week. If the target does not die during this period, then the virus's  The original virus has no effect, of course, viruses transmitted from other individuals do not count.  And for organisms that contain a lot of life energy in their bodies, the effect of this virus is greatly reduced.  In addition, Li Ping also imagined and designed a powerful group of Zerg, which is the famous ground thorn in the game. Li Ping renamed a group of lurking insects.  Thanks to the kinetic protein he just obtained, although Li Ping couldn't make the lurking bugs shoot a large number of spikes to the ground as soon as they drilled into the ground like in the game, he used a workaround.  This approach is inspired by fungi found on Earth.  By imitating the growth of fungal mycelium, the latent insect designed by Li Ping can form a mycelium network under the surface within nine hours of being buried with itself as the center and a radius of more than 120 meters.  .  These networks contain a large amount of kinetic energy proteins. As long as the latent worm is willing, it can use its own life energy to transform and release a large amount of kinetic energy at any point in the hyphae network. The characteristic of losing control when directly injecting kinetic energy makes this situation similar.  The effect of the explosion of heavy anti-tank mines.  As long as the lurking insect is still within the coverage of the fungus carpet, it can continuously absorb life energy through the fungus carpet. It can be said that as long as there is a lurking insect underground, the area of ??50,000 square meters near it is equivalent to a permanent minefield.  It's absolutely useful for defense.  What¡¯s even more amazing is that when the deployment ranges of a large number of lurking bugs overlap, these networks can be connected together for common defense.  However, this defense method cannot be used within the creep range, and can only be used in areas not covered by creep, because this explosive attack will also damage the creep.  Within the fungus carpet, latent bugs can be directly connected to the fungus carpet, serving as the processing and judgment core, similar to a reconnaissance outpost.  But at this time, there is no way to attack. We can only rely on the toxins of the mushroom blanket or anti-aircraft colonies for protection. This is also determined by the characteristics of the mushroom blanket. If you want to improve Li Ping, you have no choice.  However, lurking worms also have a big shortcoming. Since it requires a large amount of kinetic energy protein to be deployed outside the carpet, lurking worms need to replenish a large amount of material and energy every time they are redeployed.  Although this kind of group is not of much use to the current Zerg, once the Zerg can discover or seize a silicon crystal vein, this group will be perfect for guarding the silicon crystal vein.  Because it needs to store a large amount of material and energy, when it was finalized, this latent bug reached 8 meters in length, 4 to 5 meters in width, and weighed 4 tons, which is almost equivalent to a heavy-duty creature.  The consumption is definitely a lot.  Based on the current technological level of the Zerg, this is not a cheap group, it can even be said to be very expensive.  For offense, this kind of group is completely unworthy of its high hatching price, but for defense, Li Ping feels that its role is well worth the money.  When designing this group, Li Ping also improved the Zerg's identification of land units. Using a combination of pressure, life energy, and mental power, the Zerg can achieve extremely high accuracy in automatically identifying friend and foe.  Of course, it's not just these two groups that have been added, other active groups have also been upgraded accordingly, and their abilities are stronger than before. It's just that there are not so many bugs now, only the number and types of bugs underground.  There are too few, and it is impossible for people to experience the shocking scene when a large number of bugs upgrade.  ;
