Chapter 343 New Prosthesis

Zerg Guards were an idea Chen Ming had long had.

It was only after today that this became an idea that he really had to make.

Because in this raid on the mechanical race galaxy, Chen Ming saw many problems.

Especially the problems during the ground combat period.

Those insects that invaded the mechanical race planet and established a nest relied on space battleships when they broke into the planet.

After entering the ground, they could only rely on some ordinary Zerg units carried by some battleships and the corpses of Zerg cruisers as cover, lacking the ability to protect themselves.

Basically, they could only rely on themselves, and they could be wiped out at any time before going deep underground.

If it weren't for the fact that the mechanical race seemed to have no experience in dealing with this situation this time, and the Zerg were given a gap to hide in the deep underground, this attack would definitely not be so smooth.

And next time, the mechanical race would never give the Zerg such an opportunity. Once the Zerg reached the ground, the mechanical race would definitely find ways to destroy them at all costs.

Not to mention that even if the Zerg units have formed a nest, they may be solved by the powerful ground combat units of the Mechanical Clan, such as the Demon King.

Therefore.

Chen Ming felt that when deploying Zerg to the Mechanical Clan's planet, it was necessary to have powerful combat units to provide security for the Zergs building the nest.

This does not mean that it is enough to provide some Zerg units to participate in the invasion, but to thoroughly prepare for absolute defense.

It just so happened that his previous idea of ​​creating a powerful Zerg Guard appeared in his mind.

This unit should be used to protect the Queen of Zerg, which can be used to protect those Zergs performing important tasks.

It does not mean that the Guard must come to protect the Queen of Zerg. The Zerg with extremely strong combat power and small number can do more things.

What's more, the Queen of Zerg has Chen Ming's psychic power as a guarantee and it is impossible for her to encounter danger.

The Guard is a unit that has no value for the Queen of Zerg.

But for the entire Zerg, the Guard has value.

The number of Zerg Guards envisioned by Chen Ming will not be too many.

They will not arrive at the ground with the Zerg invading fleet, but will use his psychic energy to deploy them at the same time when the units that make the Zerg nest arrive at the enemy's territory.

Entering the atmosphere is the task of the Zerg spacecraft, and protecting the Zerg from being destroyed by the mechanical race after landing is the task of the Royal Guard Zerg.

Therefore, Chen Ming has high requirements for the Royal Guard Zerg, at least it should be worth his separate psychic energy to deploy.

And Chen Ming probably has the idea of ​​the Royal Guard Zerg unit.

Of course, it is not a Zerg like An Wuping.

Although the Zerg combat unit made by imitating An Wuping can be said to be the existence with the highest individual combat power in the entire Zerg, it also has shortcomings.

The comprehensive multiple abilities brought by the chaos core in An Wuping's body cannot be replicated on ordinary Zerg units.

Moreover, the strength of the individual Zerg imitating An Wuping is only in its own combat power, and its protection ability is basically close to nothing.

It is obviously unqualified as a Royal Guard.

And the Royal Guard in Chen Ming's mind must have strong combat and protection capabilities enough to persist in the enemy's base camp until other Zergs hide underground.

Therefore, the Royal Guard Zerg can abandon comprehensive combat power and mobility and develop purely in the direction of protection.

However, no Zerg unit meets such conditions.

Even the Titan, which seems to have the strongest protection ability and needs to be at the forefront of the ground battlefield, is the same.

It also relies on the powerful charge to crush and destroy the enemy, and then passively absorbs all the damage by relying on its size to protect other Zerg in disguise.

It is okay in some battlefields where they are confronting each other, but when invading and needing to temporarily stay in a certain place to perform protection tasks, the Titan's own ability is not enough.

It can only be said that it is difficult for the Zerg, which is fearless and fearless, and even the weakest worker insects can fight to the death like all other insects when necessary, and it is really difficult for them to protect something.

Not fearing death on the battlefield is not enough.

Invasion can only send a limited number of Zerg to the enemy's territory. If you want to achieve your goal, you will just waste opportunities and give the enemy time to prepare.

There must be enough combat power to protect those weak but extremely important bugs, so that the nest can be built from the ground and the enemy's planet can be destroyed from the inside.

The Zerg itself has no protection ability. Chen Ming couldn't even imagine what kind of Zerg could meet his needs before.

But if it is combined with the mechanical awakening nerve, the guards will have suitable manufacturing conditions.

And Chen Ming has begun to arrange the idea of ​​further increasing the intensity of the attack on the mechanical star field, which also allows the guards to have sufficient use environment.

When the Zerg attacks the planet of the mechanical race and releases the Zerg, there are actually three dangers to protect these Zergs from building the nest.

The encirclement and suppression of the ordinary units of the mechanical race, the targeting of the mechanical psychic units, and the attack of the orbital defense facilities.

The ground units can rely on the Zerg's own ability to block,

that is, protection is the main focus, and killing the enemy is supplementary.

The premise is that the size of the guard Zerg must be large enough.

As long as the Titan worm is used as a template, the original Titan worm's forelimbs are changed in shape, and a large amount of keratin is gathered to form a shield-like forelimb.

And further thicken the front shell, at the cost of giving up mobility, in exchange for absolute frontal defense.

In combat, it purely relies on its own mass and brute force to kill the enemy with shield strikes.

In order to defend against the ordinary ground units of the mechanical race, the strength of the defense ability of these guards Zerg must at least be enough to withstand the direct frontal shooting of the centipede's charge cannon.

This is relatively easy to solve.

If the defense is not enough, the psychic power will make up for it.

The effect of the Queen's psychic power is now enough to allow many Zergs to withstand many attacks from the mechanical race while specifically strengthening their own shell defense.

So on this basis, it only needs to slightly improve the Titan worm.

Slightly modify the size and proportion of the body, so that the Zerg that originally charged into battle becomes the Zerg that garrisoned and defended.

Then it only needs to ensure the most basic mobility and mobility, so that it will not be easily broken through by the flexible mechanical units.

Then, if the air defense capability is improved a little bit, it will basically be enough to protect the Zerg units from the ordinary ground units of the Mechanic and send them underground.

If Chen Ming had to say these requirements, he could have come up with them after a little research.

As long as he put forward the idea, the Queen would definitely help him realize it.

The real source of trouble for Chen Ming to start working on the Guards now is obviously the psychic units and orbital defense facilities of the Mechanic.

When the Zerg fleet broke through the space defense line of a planet, the biggest trouble after entering the planet was these two.

Without sufficient support from the outside world.

Both the psychic Mechanic units and the orbital defense facilities are problems that most Zerg units cannot solve.

Unless the enemy is completely crushed in numbers.

Just like the battle that broke out just now.

The Mechanic failed to dispatch the Demon King in the first place to clean up the Zerg while the Zerg was not yet firmly established on the planet, which led to the development of the Zerg, and they relied on the terrifying number to crush the Demon King.

If the Demon King came when the Zerg just landed, the situation would not be so smooth.

Next time, Chen Ming can be 100% sure that the mechanical race will deploy at least three demon kings at the location where the Zerg lands.

Therefore, psychic mechanical individuals like demon kings are problems that must be solved when the Zerg invades in the future.

If it is a space war, the Purgatory Demon King is just like that, but on the ground, it is difficult to break through the psychic strength of the Purgatory Core by relying solely on the physical strength of the ground Zerg units.

And this requires mechanical spiritual nerves.

The black fog psychic energy possessed by the black fog mechanical spiritual nerves that Chen Ming just obtained is a highly comprehensive existence that integrates displacement, protection, attack and other abilities.

Whether it is dealing with other psychic machines or orbital defense facilities, it can be relied on to solve most problems.

Although the mechanical spiritual nerves are weaker than the spiritual nerves before transformation, for the Royal Guard Zerg, they do not need to defeat them, they only need to delay time.

When the bugs burrow into the ground, their mission is completed.

Moreover, Chen Ming has just obtained the black fog mechanical spiritual nerves, and it will definitely need to be adjusted later.

If Chen Ming really lacks strength, he can just take some more spiritual energy from the Black Mist Core.

It is impossible to say that he cannot stop it.

Although it is indeed impossible to compete with the mechanical race for a long time.

The mechanical spiritual nerve essentially has an upper limit, and it is just a means for the Shining Civilization to deal with spiritual energy as a by-product.

It cannot be compared with the Purgatory Core in the hands of the mechanical race.

But it is not too difficult to make the strength of the mechanical spiritual nerve enough to resist the attack of the orbital defense facilities for a period of time.

Then Chen Ming only needs to cultivate the prototype of the Guard Zerg, and then implant the spiritual nerve into the freshly baked Guard Zerg unit, and then the cultivation of the Guard Zerg can be completed... probably...

In fact, it should still not work, because there is still a very critical problem.

How to let the Zerg unit learn to use the Black Mist Mechanical Spiritual Nerve?

The mechanical psychic creatures of the mechanical race have installed the mechanical spiritual nerve before becoming mechanical psychic creatures, and the biological and mechanical spiritual nerves are completely assimilated through the biological to mechanical transformation process.

In this way, after the transformation is completed, the mechanical psychic creatures will master the use of those mechanical spiritual nerves through the coordination of nanorobots.

But for the Zerg, they are no different from being useless after being completely transformed into machines.

If ordinary Zerg with only a mechanical appearance master the psychic power of the weak mechanical spiritual nerves and lose the power of the queen, and cannot use the mechanical spiritual nerves and the power of the queen together, it would be better to go directly to the Zerg.

So this is also a problem that needs to be considered.

And this problem has been solved with the emergence of half-mechanical and half-biological individuals like Sample Zero that combine the advantages of both.

As long as the transformation process is only halfway, allowing the Zerg individuals to partially mechanize and master the mechanical spiritual nerve ability, and retaining most of the Zerg abilities, the problem of not being able to use the Zerg and mechanical spiritual nerve abilities at the same time can be solved.

However, when designing this complete device, Chen Ming's current need to convert only half of it was not taken into account.

It does not have such a function.

And if the Zerg being converted is taken out when the conversion process is halfway through, or it is forced to shut down directly, then there will definitely be problems, rather than creating a half-mechanical and half-biological existence that can truly achieve the effect.

As for the damaged conversion facility that was eliminated, it is impossible to use it directly to convert the guards.

It seems that he has to fix it himself.

Chen Ming has always had a psychic power that he has not used on the damaged equipment.

It is the advanced psychic effect of repair, deep repair, which can also be called deep repair.

Its previous function can optimize the target equipment and make it close to the almost perfect existence under its current function.

And now, after Chen Ming has experienced another event related to the Scarlet Dimension, it has undergone new changes.

Deep repair will optimize the target of the action in a comprehensive direction.

It will optimize in the direction of the original target's function.

And now, as long as Chen Ming needs and has ideas, he can actively use psychic power to intervene in the process of deep repair.

The optimization process is no longer comprehensive, but shifts in a direction he wants.

For example, Chen Ming can optimize the one-third conversion facility in his hand to convert only half-mechanical and half-biological individuals.

Chen Ming did not use this psychic power before because he had not experienced the recent Scarlet Dimension incident, and he only had one copy.

If there was a problem with the repair before, such as repairing the facility completely, so that he could not continue to convert half-mechanical and half-biological individuals, it would be troublesome.

Now he has the knowledge supplement of the Scarlet Dimension, and his mastery of psychic power has reached a higher level, and he has a second complete device.

He even mastered a lot of knowledge about half-mechanical and half-biological organisms through Sample No. 0.

It is enough to do this.

With the activation of Chen Ming's psychic power, the directional deep maintenance effect acted on the one-third conversion facility of the mechanical family.

When he actively stimulated the psychic power for further influence, the facility gradually lost most of its functions, and finally only had the ability to mechanize some tissues and organs of organisms.

Although this device has lost a lot of extra value, its optimized result perfectly meets Chen Ming's needs.

A guard Zerg that was just cultivated by the queen and implanted with the black fog mechanical awakening nerve was also stuffed into this newly optimized facility.

After Chen Ming set the transformation target to the flesh and blood near the mechanical awakening nerve implanted under the back shell of the guard Zerg.

The transformation began.

The nanorobot crawled out of the facility and acted on the back of the guard Zerg.

The way the nanorobot works is slightly different from before.

It no longer completely transforms the flesh and blood tissue into machinery.

Instead, it transforms part of the flesh and blood tissue into a structure that can be connected to the machinery.

And transform part of the machinery into a structure that can maintain a close connection with the flesh and blood without mutual repulsion.

What Chen Ming wants is fusion, not transformation or replacement.

This is his idea.

He relied on his psychic power to apply his ideas to the facility without understanding the operating principles of these devices.

And he wanted to go further.

While the transformation facility was running, he still used the psychic power of deep maintenance on the facility.

He wanted to optimize the facility to the look he wanted to see the most.

Although he didn't understand the operating principle of the transformation facility at all, his psychic power could understand it.

His hands could help him do what he could calculate.

And his psychic power could help him do what he wanted to do.

Time passed quickly.

The transformation process was over.

The Guardian Zerg crawled out of the facility.

Its appearance did not change much, except that there were mechanical spines running through the entire body on its back.

In the body of the Guardian Zerg, which could not be seen from the outside, there were countless nerves derived from the mechanical spines and spread throughout the body of the Guardian Zerg.

These nerves were extensions of the mechanical spines, allowing the power of the black mist to permeate the entire body of the Zerg.

A faint black mist was slowly emanating from the body of the Guardian Zerg.

As an exoskeleton creature, the Zerg looked weird no matter how it looked with an extra spine, but it did not affect its effect.

Chen Ming used his psychic power to bring the guard Zerg to his side.

The huge body suddenly appeared in front of him.

Feeling the psychic power brought to it by the black fog mechanical spiritual nerve, he released his mental power to test the transformed guard Zerg.

No actual combat is required, only the stimulation of mental power and simple simulation with mental power are needed.

Chen Ming can be sure that three or so guard Zergs are enough to protect the Zerg invading the planet for a period of time under the attack of the Infernal Lord and the orbital defense facilities.

Presumably, there will be the first battle of this guard Zerg soon.

At that time, whether such guards have value in existence can be verified.

After recording the data of the guard in detail, Chen Ming sent it back to Chigou, asking the Queen to continue to create new guards. He would start the equipment again for transformation.

So there is not much to do for the guards at this point.

The next project to be done.

is the transformation of the Black Mist Psychic's prosthesis.

The parasite had been implanted in the Black Mist Psychic's body before, and the transformation of the human body into the insect body was almost complete.

However, Chen Ming has not yet started to work on the Black Mist Psychic's brain, because he has one last thing to do.

He asked the Black Mist Psychic to come from Chaofan, who had been raising Black Mist, and prepared a Black Mist mechanical spiritual nerve that was about the same size as the human spine.

He asked the Queen to perform a spine replacement operation on the Black Mist Psychic and implanted the Black Mist mechanical spiritual nerve.

Black Mist psychic power is originally the psychic power of the Black Mist Psychic, so there is no need to master the use of the mechanical spiritual nerve. The Black Mist Psychic's body instinctively mobilizes the Black Mist psychic power.

Then the consciousness in his brain was stimulated. After the body was supported by mechanical spiritual nerves, it was enough to support the consciousness of a psychic who was much weaker.

The Black Mist Psychic woke up.

He could feel something wriggling in his body, and wanted to say something, but his mouth was completely unresponsive.

He wanted to mobilize his psychic power, but his psychic power seemed to have abandoned him and regarded him as nothing.

His consciousness was struggling frantically, but his body just lay quietly on the operating table.

He could do nothing.

This feeling of powerlessness and the strange environment around him gradually gave rise to fear in the heart of the Black Mist Psychic.

And when a sound of footsteps slowly approached from the blind spot that he could not see, the fear continued to increase.

"Okay, see you in the next life."

This familiar voice appeared in the ears of the Black Mist Psychic, and his pupils shrank to the extreme in an instant, because he was extremely scared.

But in the next moment, his pupils slowly expanded.

Chen Ming let him wake up just to test it out, to see what would happen if the psychic had a mechanical psychic nerve implanted with his own psychic effect.

The test was done, the data was recorded, and the Black Mist psychic had a last look at the world, at least he would not die inexplicably.

As a left-path member, he had to die in fear, right?

Otherwise, it would be too unfair to him.

The Black Mist psychic's brain was directly devoured by the Queen, and the memories in it were extracted by the Queen and handed over to Chen Ming.

These memories were not valuable, so Chen Ming did not pay too much attention to them.

He still had to complete the transformation process of the Black Mist psychic first.

He wanted to make the Black Mist psychic into a prosthesis after the fusion of biological, mechanical and psychic abilities.

Chen Ming had also thought of its background story.

It was an experimental subject of a left-path human and Zerg fusion experiment, mixed with some of the psychic effects of the Black Mist psychic.

The meaning of his existence was to become a psychic who induced the Zerg to attack the mechanical race.

A psychic suspected to be a remnant of Zuo Jing used the black fog psychic to guide the Zerg to do things.

Of course, this is something that will happen later.

He will appear after the script he imagined for An Wuping is over.

If Chen Ming guessed correctly, the black fog prosthesis should soon find a suitable opportunity to appear.

With the previous and just experience, Chen Ming quickly completed the transformation of the black fog psychic.

And sent the black fog prosthesis to a suitable place.

After sending the black fog prosthesis away, Chen Ming now has almost done what he has to do.

The next step is to target the mechanical race.

But before taking the next step.

He also did another thing.

He took Yan Xiong back from Chaofan, extracted his spiritual iron awakening nerve that can transform ordinary metal into spiritual energy metal, and transformed it into a spiritual iron core and spiritual iron mechanical awakening nerve through facilities.

It was also implanted into the Zerg individuals at the level of the Guards, and continued to be used to provide research samples for Chaofan and provide spiritual energy metal materials for Chen Ming.

Make it a thorough tool.

It can be regarded as helping Yan Xiong to be freed from torture and reincarnate as soon as possible.

Of course, because Yan Xiong himself is a level 6 psychic. It was only because Chen Ming had used a trick to defeat him.

Chen Ming did not give him the opportunity to wake up and take a last look at the world, and by the way, know how he died.

He directly extracted the awakening nerve and killed him decisively.

The same thing happened to another psychic.

His awakening nerve was also extracted by Chen Ming, and he was also transformed into a prosthesis by Chen Ming, but Chen Ming did not transform its awakening nerve into a core, but kept it.

This kind of pure spiritual power is concentrated to the extreme to achieve various effects.

It's quite special.

There may be other values ​​if you keep it.

After extracting the awakening nerves of these two people and doing the corresponding processing.

Chen Ming has also completed something he has been thinking about for a long time.

Next, after a simple rest.

He will reach out his claws to the mechanical race again.
