    After giving the order, Li Ping turned his attention to the flying boring battlefield and immediately found the target that interested him before.  But what disappoints Li Ping is that the spacecraft did not use real gunpowder weapons, but it made a similar sound when fired. There was no smoke from the muzzle, and nothing else came out.  The light and shadow effect when it is fired is more like a particle weapon.  "Huh? This weapon seems to be" Li Ping suddenly discovered that the weapon that he mistakenly thought was a gunpowder weapon seemed a bit familiar to him.  "That's right! It should be the pulse cannon." Li Ping finally remembered that this weapon was mentioned in the memories of the aliens more than ten years ago.  Abandoning the firing method of ordinary particle cannons, instead of using an electromagnetic field to accelerate particles, a high-density forward pulsed electric field is used to rapidly launch a group of ions of the same electric nature to attack the target.  Because there is no strong electromagnetic field to accelerate for a long time, the ions have not been compressed, and the density is not high, so the range of this weapon is very short, and its power decreases sharply as the distance increases.  However, this kind of weapon has the characteristics of small size, light weight, low energy consumption, short launch interval, wide attack range, high power and strong response ability in close combat, making some small and medium-sized spacecrafts, airships, landing ships, etc.  Ships are equipped with this weapon, and the sound it emits under atmospheric conditions is a clear identification mark.  Li Ping felt that this sound was very much like gunpowder weapons on earth.  With the same power, the power is basically the same as that of a laser cannon, but the killing mechanisms of these two weapons are different.  Li Ping felt that this kind of weapon was very good as an anti-aircraft or self-defense weapon. By shooting down these spaceships, he would be able to obtain another weapon.  With its high speed and flexibility, the flying boring machine constantly avoided the ammunition fired from these spacecrafts, and at the same time continuously launched guided worms to attack the spacecraft. With a numerical advantage of nearly 700 to 1, it completely gained the upper hand.  The type of electromagnetic pulse mixed in the densely packed guide worms cannot destroy the electronic equipment of these spacecraft, but it interferes with the information they transmit to the outside world.  "The power of the guide worms is too weak for these spacecrafts." Li Ping thought as he looked at the spacecraft that had withstood the attack of a large number of guide worms and had not yet been destroyed.  In fact, the flying insects have already arrived, but in order to collect more accurate and real-time enemy intelligence, Li Ping asked the flying insects not to help for the time being.  However, after a few minutes, Li Ping had almost figured out the small spaceships of these pirates. These small ships only had one or two weapons, and they were generally not very powerful.  The mission of the small and medium-sized space pirates is actually reconnaissance, landing, and robbing small cargo ships.  At this time, a spacecraft was unable to turn in time, and a guidance worm focused on the rear engine.  Most small spacecraft, due to weight restrictions, use monopolar ion accelerating fields. The engine protection is very weak, and it is not as stable as an engine with a multipolar ion accelerating field. If it is hit by the tail nozzle of the engine, it will easily explode.  of.  Some spacecrafts with integrated engines and fusion power furnaces are in trouble at this time. If they are unlucky, they will trigger a chain reaction and detonate the power furnace.  This is what happened to this spacecraft. After being hit by the tail nozzle, it started to smoke and then spin. Then blue ion flames began to emit from its butt. With a huge roar, the spacecraft directly turned into debris and the ground.  Two small iron hunchbacks.  After discovering that the buttocks were a weak point, this group of flying boring machines began to focus on the buttocks of these spacecrafts. However, these were originally small spacecrafts with extremely good maneuverability and even faster turning on the spot.  There are also multiple anti-aircraft turrets at the rear, and their butts are not so easy to hit.  In the final analysis, the flying boring machine was originally cultivated by Li Ping in order to compete for battlefield air supremacy on the surface and support the army. This determines that its size, strength, energy, and weapon power are not very great. It may be able to do its own job.  It's great, but it won't work once you're facing a spaceship. To deal with a spaceship, no matter it's large, medium or small, you need flying insects or ship insects.  With the crash of one spaceship, only five spaceships were left with obvious loopholes in the formation. However, under the cover of their large number of laser cannons and pulse cannons, not a single flying boring machine took advantage.  After several minutes of bombardment, the armor on the surface of these spaceships has turned black, and the pits and pits show that even though the power is small, the extremely large number of guide worms also embodies the same principle - water drops can penetrate stones.  If these guide worms are really conscious, they will definitely be scolded. They are originally used to attack unarmored or lightly armored targets on the ground, but they are actually used to attack spaceships with hard alloy armor. What a rush.  Suddenly, blue sparks appeared on the armor of a spaceship. It turned out that the flying boring machine's continuous attack causedThe armor of these spaceships has reached its limit and can no longer be supported. However, at this time, the guide worm spores carried by the flying boring machines are almost exhausted.  Half a minute later, the last flying boring machine launched the last guide worm and began to retreat.  Just when these space thieves thought they had finally survived, the flying insects hiding aside quickly sprang out under Li Ping's order, bringing out black shadows.  It wasn¡¯t until a red energy bomb was shot out from the black shadow that these space thieves knew what the black shadow was.  This is by far the creature that the pirates are most afraid of and fear.  The space pirates who were still in some formation suddenly seemed to be drunk, and even the spacecraft was shaking uncontrollably.  But in just over ten minutes of fighting, these spaceships have consumed too much energy, and the crew members have been exhausted. It is good to be able to stick to their posts. Some of them simply have weak legs and cannot stand. Although not all external  Stars all have legs.  Before these spacecraft started to turn, red energy bombs hit the spacecraft.  Due to the saturation attack of the flying boring machine, these armors were already fragile, and the energy bombs penetrated directly into the interior of the spacecraft without even being blocked.  These are weapons that can paralyze a medium-sized spacecraft with two rounds. The consequences of such a small spacecraft of more than 100 meters being hit by this shot can be imagined.  So with the loud rumbling noise and flash of light, these spacecraft were smashed into pieces no larger than a human head.  As for research, these small broken ships only have some weapons worth studying.  However, there are a lot of rare elements on these spaceships. Although the amount is small, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are. Li Ping directly asked the flying boring machine to start collecting the fragments.  After a while, the ten flying insects hatched by the ship insects and the worker bee swarm from the nearby sub-base arrived and started their own work, collecting debris and digging the surface.  Li Ping wants to hatch a 700-meter-long small shipworm here, just in time to catch up with the large shipworm's regeneration.  However, Li Ping planned to make this small ship bug into a reconnaissance type.  Because Li Ping does not intend to waste the wreckage of these spaceships, Li Ping may not be very rare with other things inside, but the mass calibrators in the spacecraft are all made of gravity crystals. The Zerg have not found gravity crystals yet. Of course, the Zerg  The name is Tiberium.  Li Ping estimated that the element 99 contributed by these destroyed spaceships could allow the Zerg to add another ship insect.  After dealing with these space thieves, recover the bodies of the two ship bugs that were destroyed in space. This is another one.  If one of these spaceships is equipped with a hyperspace jumper, then Li Ping might be able to add two more shipworms.  Because the hyperspace jumper and the mass calibrator need to use element 99 in Tiberium, and the amount is much larger.  Coupled with the high efficiency of the Zerg's utilization of Element 99, a common hyperspace jumper like the one on the Space Pirate spacecraft that originally attacked the earth is enough for the Zerg to produce two two-thousand-meter ship bugs.  Jumping organ.  And Li Ping keeps the Zerg fleet at this scale, the lack of element 99 is a very important aspect.  Soon, a large pit was dug out of the hard surface under the indestructible claws and mouthparts of the worker bees, and all the collected remains were placed inside.  Then hundreds of worker bees began to mutate on the remains.  I saw the worker bees lying motionless on the wreckage as if time had been suspended.  At the same moment, all the worker bees suddenly began to tremble non-stop, as if they were performing some cult ritual.  The bodies of all the worker bees began to slowly expand, and some tentacles even appeared between the bodies of some worker bees, connecting them together.  At this time, Li Ping's consciousness had broken away from the scouting mosquito and began to transfer into the body of a flying insect.  This place is already far away from the base of the Yu Pirates. Even if the Yu Pirates immediately call for help after discovering the Zerg, Li Ping will have plenty of time to hatch the ship bugs.  It happened to be a rare opportunity, so Li Ping planned to conduct a field experiment on consciousness fusion here now, and this group of worker bees was the experimental subject.  The reason why the consciousness must be transferred into the body of the flying insect is because the tiny biological brain of the scout mosquito cannot withstand the powerful mental power when fusing the consciousness of the worker bee.  When all the worker bees were connected together and turned into a big squirming ball of flesh, Li Ping suddenly burst out with his mental power.  After the biological brain update, Li Ping clearly felt that his control of mental power was much more refined. Although the overall intensity became smaller, the improvement in control accuracy increased the utilization rate of mental power, and the effect was not as good as before.  Difference.  The new biological brain also made Li Ping feel the benefits of hardware upgrades.  The biological brain has a powerful mental power conversion power, so that even if Li Ping continuously uses the maximum amount of mental power for a period of time, the biological brain will not be overloaded.  And the powerful luck of the biological brainThe computing power has improved Li Ping's control accuracy of mental power by an order of magnitude, which is estimated to be able to support Li Ping's experiment of fused consciousness.  As a scientist on Earth, Li Ping has always used quantitative methods to measure his mental power. When he first set the standard, the unit mental power was based on the beetle at that time.  If based on that standard, Li Ping's mental power had reached 20,000 at the beginning, and it had reached close to 4 billion before.  Although the use of new biological brains has reduced this figure to 2.2 billion, its effect is even higher than the previous 4 billion.  Considering that his mental power will continue to increase in the future, it will no longer be appropriate to use this unit. Li Ping has already begun to consider changing units.  However, leaving aside the unit, Li Ping was quite surprised by the computing power of the new biological brain.  The powerful computing power of the new biological brain not only allows Li Ping to control his mental power more precisely, but also allows Li Ping to completely distract and control a large amount of mental power activation.  In other words, with theoretical support, Li Ping can launch particle cannons on his own.  Part of the mental force decomposes the air and transforms it into charged particles, then some compresses these decomposed charged particles, and the last part transforms into electromagnetic force to form a launch trajectory.  At this time, as long as the compression of the particles is released, these charged particles will be launched like a particle cannon.  But now, Li Ping has reached such a level for the time being that he can only be easily distracted and do things. For example, right now, he is catalyzing the regeneration of the landing bugs while controlling the fusion of the consciousness of the worker bees.  Because the mental strength of worker bees is very weak, they need quantity to make up for it.  However, its mental power is more complex than other fighting groups.  The more complex the mental power is, that is, the mental power has a long band, the greater its potential will be, and it can easily mutate into various buildings and ship insects. This is one of the reasons why Li Ping gave it such complex mental power.  Another reason is to accommodate more complete cognition.  Because unlike combat groups that only focus on fighting and destroying enemies, worker bees only collect energy and resources correctly and efficiently, which requires considerable intelligence to analyze and judge the distribution, types and collection methods of various resources.  However, because it does not require a high degree of activation of mental power, it does not take much time or energy to hatch worker bees.  In other words, the mental power of worker bees is very weak, but it is easy to become stronger.  When necessary, it can be easily reactivated and become the consciousness of an air defense colony, a geothermal tower or even an incubation pool. Basically, as long as it is reactivated based on the mental power of the worker bees, ordinary Zerg buildings will not be a problem!  As for the ship worms, surveillance worms and worm nests, they are controlled by higher-level consciousness. After the worker bee mutates, its original cognition will become a bottom-level consciousness that connects the biological brain and the worm nest or ship worm body. In order for the new consciousness to be able to  Better control the entire nest or ship insects.  In fact, it is completely unnecessary to implant a higher consciousness on the insect nest, because the insect nest is only a breeding building in the final analysis. When the Zerg already has ship insects, the insect nest will only serve as an incubation point and the Zerg  The number of underlying control hubs will be very large in the future.  Even if it is the lowest consciousness in the consciousness cultivation system, no matter how fast it is cultivated, there is a limit.  If the last consciousness fusion experiment can be successful, only a few worker bees will be needed to reproduce the insect nest in the future. In this way, there will be no limit to the number of insect nests established, and advanced consciousness can be used in more important places, such as monitoring.  Insects, flying insects and ship insects, etc.  If this experiment had been successful, the Zerg could now hatch fifty or one hundred insect nests, and there would be no need to use the current ten insect nests and some incubation pools to support them.  Once this experiment is successful, even Li Ping's own mental power and consciousness mismatch problem can be successfully solved, so Li Ping does not pay ordinary attention to it.  ;
