Chapter 459: Webworm

In the realm of gods, Han Fei's god spirit body stands in the void.

While he was flipping through the research and development and testing materials handed over by Shirley, he looked at the new Zerg units in front of him from time to time.

"The mesh worm is a bit interesting..."

Han Fei really didn't expect that Shirley would be inspired by the Holy Spirits of those brainworms to create a new species with such practical value.

The so-called mesh worm is just as the name suggests.

It is a new Zerg unit that can function as a communication network node.

놇After Han Fei's careful study, it didn't take him long to see clearly the essence of this new unit.

In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are just mutated versions of monocles.

The underlying genetic structure of the Dactyloplasma is basically a completely copied genetic template of the Ocellus.

Shirley's ideas and genetic adjustment methods were as simple and crude as ever.

Since the single-eyed worm can originally be used as a lower-level network node for the brain worm to expand the coverage of the consciousness network, isn't this a ready-made template?

They are unable to achieve a qualitative leap in mental power through mental mutagenesis like brainworms, and they want to greatly increase the coverage of the mental network.

Isn’t that very simple!

Quality is not enough, quantity is needed.

However, what Shirley meant by quantity was not an increase in the number of individuals with single eyes.

Instead, he attacked directly from the body of the single-eyed insect even more roughly.

The mental power generation speed of the single-eyed insect is not enough?

Then connect all the genes that can enhance mental talents to the genetic template and give it a try.

Afterwards, the brain of the single-eyed insect exploded, and the brain tissue could not bear more mental power?

Then, while increasing the brain capacity, we can further increase the strength of the brain tissue, give them a two-pronged approach, and build a big and strong brain.

After a strong brain filled with muscles is completed, the body's functions cannot carry this big and strong brain?

Then change to one that is specifically designed to support the brain and body while reducing the energy consumption of the brain.

As long as it can carry more mental power, it doesn't matter even if the other functions of the brain are slightly weakened.

Based on this simple and crude idea, Shirley used the single-eyed worm as a template and searched for dozens of extraordinary genes in the gene bank that looked more pleasing to the eye.

Forcibly graft it into version after version of the gene chain, just like building blocks, constantly making improvements through trial and error.

Those who can survive will be used, and those who cannot survive will be eliminated.

꿯The hatching hive city is under her control, occupying the entire insect swarm production plan and so on. Who dares to take care of Shirley except Han Fei?

The phased result of research and development is the thing floating in front of Han Fei at this time.

The genetic template of the networm, in the eyes of Han Fei.

To put it mildly, there is huge room for optimization of this thing.

To put it bluntly, this genetic template is simply a patchwork, bloated, twisted, and full of loopholes.

There are piles and piles of various problems and defects.

The originally smart one-eyed bug became like this, and its IQ dropped to that of a red-eyed barnacle.

As for the most basic survivability, although Shirley's underlying genetic structure was specially grafted with the ready-made void gene chain segment of the transport insect.

So that all their bodies and internal organs are enough to support them to survive in the void.

But the most important thing about void creatures is their ability to survive by absorbing void energy.

But it collided with other extraordinary genes, so it was just gone!

What's even more tragic is that the meshworm, which has expanded to a size close to that of a frigate, relies on the traditional feeding method of single-eyed insects for energy intake.

The average diameter of the eight tentacles used to absorb energy and nutrients is close to twenty meters.

Among the existing Zerg species, even the largest ones were regarded as useless transport bugs by Han Fei.

놇When mesh bugs carry out high-frequency information relay and transmission, they can easily be accidentally drained by these mentally retarded people.

Therefore, this new unit is like a traditional communication base station. It can only be installed on the farm specified by the customer and relies on the carpet continent to survive.

Faced with this situation, Shirley once again used her fine tradition of treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.

Just let the warship manufacturing company build a larger pioneer ship, fill it with germ blankets, and specifically carry meshworms, which will solve the problem.

Even if the communication time is limited, the sales of this so-called 'mobile mesh' have been extremely hot recently.

Just because their spiritual coverage is large enough and they can be easily dropped into most places in the void, one is enough to replace countless single-eyed insects.

Using this kind of mobile mesh to connect remote carpet farms is much more efficient than hiring single-eyed insects.

The cost is also less expensive than hiring singletons.

There is no need to say what choice the stubborn and cowardly brainworm farmers will make.

Even if mesh worms are very expensive, have quality issues, and always fail due to some strange reasons, it is still more cost-effective than hiring monocular worms.

Besides, who would dare to complain to Her Highness the Insect Queen?

I'm afraid that before I even see His Highness, those Holy Spirit bosses will stuff him into the gutter and fill him with waste water.

Han Fei's eyelids are not as shallow as these Zerg scum.

His god's spirit body returned to the underground temple and saw that Shirley had stopped crying and was looking at him pitifully, making him angry.

He stretched out his hand to grab the back of Shirley's neck and lifted her in front of him. Han Fei asked with a dark face:

"Is this what you call achievement?"

"What about the things I taught you before? The stability of the genetic template, the filling of the shortcomings of the organism, the reserved space for upgrades... You didn't consider any of this?"

"Forget about the Meshworm base station, getting a specialized supply vehicle can be regarded as a new unit and renamed 'Mobile Mesh'?"

…………

Facing Han Fei's series of questions, Shirley could only bite the bullet and whisper:

"Uh..., we haven't had time to do it yet."

In order to make more money faster, she worked hard for two years. After developing the initial results, she directly put them into the market.

Seeing the huge sale of mesh worms and making a small amount of money, Shirley turned around and jumped into the virtual game without even thinking about subsequent optimization.

Seeing her like this, Han Fei's eyes twitched and he felt his head hurt even more.

Countless thoughts were spinning at the speed of lightning. After a few circles in his mind, Han Fei narrowed his eyelids slightly, showed a kind smile, and then said:

"Seeing that you have indeed worked hard this time, let's do this. I won't confiscate your shares in Zhongqun Netcom."

"However, the profits you get from it must first be used to repay the previous huge fines."

"real?"

After Han Fei finished speaking, Shirley was suddenly shocked. Seeing that Han Fei's expression didn't seem to be fake, she even cheered for joy.

"But..., as Zerg Network is now the exclusive company in the Zerg internal communications industry, it still has to pay the monopoly tax in full."

"In addition, for the development of the insect swarm, the selling price of mesh worms must also be limited, and cannot be increased without authorization. This will lead to huge profits!"

Han Fei's subsequent words immediately made most of Shirley's joy disappear.

"But this is the fruit of my hard work. What if the money I earn is not enough to pay off the debt?"

Shirley lowered her head, somewhat discouraged.

Han Fei's smile did not diminish, and then he changed his tune again.

"If you want to make more money, just keep improving and making better products."

"Every time it is updated, as long as it passes my review, the price cannot be increased in a reasonable way..."

Han Fei described a beautiful blueprint for Shirley with such certainty that her compound eyes shone like gold.

At the same time, certain brainworm holy spirits were tremblingly listening to the oracles transmitted by the thread of faith.

"From now on, the dividends given to Shirley will be directly transferred to the Sacred Bank of the Insect Swarm, and we are no longer allowed to lend money to her in normal times."

"Understand?"
