Chapter 29 Bad News

Xia Jieren had no doubt that the penetrating power of the Hydra Spines could easily break through the defense of the Silver Moon Wolf or the Sharp-toothed Tiger.

Of course, the golden-winged eagle should be no problem either.

The Hydralisk fires its spines very quickly, which means it uses more energy.

However, in terms of the results achieved, the cost-effectiveness is extremely high.

Moreover, it can spend several times the energy to hatch larger and more powerful hydralisks.

The strongest hydralisk at this stage can fire bowl-sized spines.

If this were to happen on Blue Planet, piercing through a warship would be no problem.

But this seems a bit useless to Xia Jieren.

Because the larger the spines fired, the longer the charging time and the slower the firing speed, the enemy can easily avoid the lock of the spines.

After testing the Hydralisk and learning about its attack power and attack speed, Xia Jieren was still very happy.

"Hehe, getting rid of the golden-feathered eagle shouldn't be a problem."

After Xia Jieren walked back to Jinghu Base with brisk steps and humming a song, he was suddenly hit by a piece of bad news.

Kerrigan stammered, "My Lord, there is something I need to tell you."

Xia Jieren didn't notice Kerrigan's tone and asked happily, "What's the matter?"

Kerrigan: "Um, this~, that."

Xia Jieren became interested as he listened to her unclear voice.

He had never seen Kerrigan like this before.

Xia Jieren, whose curiosity was aroused, asked again, "Just tell me what you want to say."

Kerrigan: "Then you have to promise me that you won't be angry with me after listening to this."

Xia Jieren nodded perfunctorily: "Okay, I'm not angry. I have always had a good temper, you know that."

After hearing Xia Jieren's repeated assurances, Kerrigan finally mustered up the courage to say, "Master Overlord, there are only three templates left in the Zerg gene bank that have not yet been unlocked."

After listening to this, Xia Jieren blurted out: "I thought it was something else? It turns out it's just this. There are only three unlocked templates left. Isn't this a good thing?"

As he was talking, Xia Jieren realized that something was wrong and carefully thought about what Kerrigan had just said.

"There are only three templates left to unlock!"

“Only three types left!!!”

After a moment, Xia Jieren turned his head stiffly, stared at Kerrigan seriously, and said in a trembling voice: "You mean, you don't mean that after unlocking the remaining three templates, there will be no more Zerg templates to unlock."

"In the future, we will need to deduce what kind of troops we need. Is that what you mean?"

At this moment, the beautiful girl transformed by Kerrigan clasped her two small hands together nervously, and said with her red lips: "Yes, Master."

The resounding answer, like a thunderclap, hit Xia Jieren's head, and Xia Jieren's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

"Grass (a plant)."

Suddenly, Xia Jieren roared in his heart network. Of course, he was not targeting Kerrigan, he was just venting his depressed and disappointed mood.

After continuously outputting beautiful words for three or four minutes, Xia Jieren finally got rid of most of the depression in his heart.

As for the rest, we can only rely on time to make it go away.

“It’s such a bummer.”

"Let's not talk about the fact that I clearly didn't want to travel through time, but was forced to come here."

"After arriving in another world, I had a hard time surviving in the wild. I don't need to mention this matter anymore."

"I finally got the gold finger. Even though it's a bit broken, it's still acceptable."

"But just when I was about to rely on the golden finger to achieve my ambitions, you told me that there is no way forward. What on earth is going on?"

Xia Jieren complained frantically, venting his unhappiness:

The Zerg are extremely powerful beings in various novels, films and TV shows.

Relying on powerful biotechnology and a hierarchical ruling system, they devoured one universe after another.

Xia Jieren was very much looking forward to the future of the Zerg and had fantasized that one day he would be able to lead the Zerg to conquer the skies of the world.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. The Zerg core was damaged too severely, resulting in very little technology and genetic information remaining.

This has led to the current embarrassing situation.

Can you believe that a natural disaster in the universe could be so miserable?

Take the current Zerg troops for example, not only are they the most primitive versions, but they are also units that can only live on the ground.

The current Zerg are simply unable to go into space, let alone adapt to the space environment.

As the saying goes: It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

This huge psychological gap is not easy to bear.

When there was a Zerg template in the past, Xia Jieren only needed to consume a small amount of energy and use Kerrigan's computing power to easily unlock the template.

If we were to deduce a new type of soldier on our own, with current computing power, we don't know when it will take.

Don’t think that Xia Jieren’s deduction of the Zerg is very simple, that’s because the Zerg core already has complete human genetic information.

You have to know that when the Zerg core led Xia Jieren through the wormhole, he was decomposed into nothing but traces.

So theoretically speaking, Zerg is equivalent to a type of soldier obtained after unlocking a human template.

From now on, in order to deduce the types of troops needed for the development of the Zerg, Xia Jieren needs to start collecting genetic information of various creatures.

At the same time, Kerrigan cannot sit idle. She needs to analyze all the genes in the Zerg gene pool and figure out the new soldiers the Zerg needs or the reinforcement plan for the existing soldiers of the Zerg.

In short, the workload of this work is huge and cannot be completed overnight.

Take humans as an example. There are at least 100,000 types of genes in the human body.

If Kerrigan wants to strengthen the Zerg again, she needs to first analyze which genes are beneficial to the Zerg, which genes are harmful, and which genes are useless.

Then the beneficial genes are strengthened, the harmful genes are eliminated, and the useless genes are improved or deleted.

This is a systematic project. It is possible that deleting a useless gene will cause serious problems to the insect people and lead to their death.

In addition, sometimes it is necessary to analyze the genes of other organisms to see which genes are suitable for the insect people and can strengthen them.

In short, from now on, Xia Jieren is destined to embark on a path of plundering the genes of other species.

"Alas, it seems there is no way to avoid it."

“I’m obviously a pacifist.”

Xia Jieren sighed:

Although he was a little disappointed that the Zerg could no longer provide ready-made templates, he felt that he should be content.

Be content with what you have!

At least I have a cheat code, even though it is an incomplete one, but it is better than having nothing.

Think about those predecessors who traveled through time without the golden finger. Even without the golden finger, didn’t they still live well?

The biggest fear in all things is comparison. When you see that you have something, others don’t have it.

"Hmm~, I feel more comfortable after thinking this way."

Xia Jieren said to himself optimistically:
