How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 184: Construction and Search

Standing on a volcanic rock highland, they look at the 'spider flowers' floating on the endless sea below. They are constantly producing the nutrients needed by collectors with the help of the temperature difference between the atmosphere and the boiling water ocean.

"Si, what's the problem with what happened before? Why is there so much deviation from the expected time?

"The specific reason is still being looked for."

"Why can't you find it? This should be a very simple thing."

"I want to know this too."

Si replied helplessly. Si's previous idea was the same as sustainability. He wanted to find out the problem that made the plan time deviate, and then solve it.

Since the period of embryo formation is different from the estimated time, it should be that there are some genetic problems. Kesi checked the whole gene chain and did not find the problem.

Not only Si, but every collector, as an inspector, did not find out what the problem is when examining the genes.

You know, this new organism is designed by the collectors from the very basic. They are extremely clear about what information each gene represents. It is a very strange thing that they can't find the problem.

If there are omissions in the inspection of Si, is there a omission in the inspection of all collectors?

So what is the reason why all the collectors did not find the problem?

"...That is to say, this problem can't be solved now, right?"

"It seems so."

"Then put it aside first. Next, we need to create a stable environment for ourselves. The lava-spit environment is not suitable for us to develop ourselves."

"When will this whole land project start?"

"Now."

The selected collector climbed to his mission site and began to turn into cocoon and change his form like the previous collector.

The sharp limbs were abandoned and returned to the body as nutrient material. When the cocoon gradually hardened and fell off, a plant-like sapling-like creature revealed its shape.

Information about saplings appears in the life field channel.

"I need nutrients."

In a short time, around the 'sapling', a relay chain composed of several collectors delivers the nutrient layer of the 'spider web' to the 'sapling'.

The nutrients are placed near the creature, and the root system of the 'sapling' is extracted from the ground, tightly wrapped around the nutrients, and then grows at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Upward is a bare pillar. From a distance, it looks like a foundation laid by a construction site. The downward root network is constantly branching and growing, with a superfiber epidermis. Even if the root system encounters underground magma, it will not be immediately burned and charred, and it is directly ignored when it encounters steam hot springs.

On the surface, when these 'saplings' first grew, the hard volcanic rock ground still spewed steam hot springs or magma from time to time, just like the earth was ruthlessly mocking these 'little dots' trying to dominate it.

However, as time went by, the surging hot springs stopped, and the lava from the cracks in the ground also condensed into carbon-ink-colored and extremely hot volcanic rocks.

When the collectors destroyed the high and low volcanic rocks with their limbs, the whole project was ended.

"Strange..."

"Why is there no problem with this time?"

Thinking doubtfully, he moved his eyes back and forth between the 'spider flower' and the 'sapling'.

"What's the key thing missing?"

All I notice is thinking. The collector's plan is orderly. Until the end of the plan, there is no time to think about superfluous things.

On this permanent side, the foundation is well laid, and there is no need to worry about whether there will be any high-pressure gas jets suddenly around here.

Moreover, danger elimination is only incidental, and a stable environment allows them to build other categories of functional individuals.

It provides a good guarantee. After all, not every organism is as agile as the collector. The functional individual built by pooling resources is scalded to death by the sudden gas jet from the ground, which is only a loss for the collector.The beehives rose up one by one, and the familiar rhizomes were set up. One collector was consumed, and the other was re-embolded to arrange other tasks.

From afar, if you mosaic it, it is easy to mistakenly think that it is a city.

The honeycomb and temperature-sensitive cells are combined to obtain the electrical energy needed for production. Although it is a small amount, it is enough. With electrolysis and chemical replacement, their chemical resource reserves are gradually increasing.

Of course, not all collectors will be transformed into other functional individuals, such as those who need high mobility, such as mining rocks, planning and mapping, exploring new areas, etc. Because the assigned tasks maintain the original posture at the best, these collectors will not change their form.

During this period, the erection of the rhizome also occurred inconsistency with the previous similar estimated time. Similarly, it is also extremely biased. Fortunately, it has nothing to do with nutrients. In the worst case, it is at most a serious delay in the progress of the project.

The thinking responsible for designing genes, the organized agents also checked the genes of the rhizome, but still found nothing and did not find the root cause of the problem.

"Si, Yongsue sent another message, asking us what the reason for the time estimation error is. If we can't find the reason again, it will affect the progress of the follow-up task. Let's solve it quickly."

"I know."

Si continues to check the genes one by one in the Life Field Channel, and the number of screenings has increased a lot than before, because the types of problems have increased.

Over and over again, I still can't find out what the problem is.

"Why is it like this?"

"It is clear that there are no errors or conflicts in the expression of each gene, and there is no problem with these genes."

The collectors who make up the intelligence only feel that there are dark clouds in front of them, and they can't find the way forward at all. The breadth of thinking is not inferior to sustainable thinking, and they are also in trouble at this moment.

At this time, a collector put forward an idea.

"Maybe... it's not a genetic problem, but... something else we ignore."

As soon as this proposal came out, it was immediately questioned by other ethnic groups.

"According to your opinion, what on earth can affect the growth rate of individuals?"

"If there is really something wrong with any part, why can't we see it on the genetic map?"

...

"Stop, it's right. We really ignored something."

The question was interrupted by thought, and it swept away the previous decadence, and the impatient and sustainable built a connection in the life field channel.

"Eustinuation, I found the reason."
