Chapter 35 Victory x Brainworm
The Hydralisk continued to fire its spines towards the sea without hesitation.
It doesn't matter even if you miss, it's just a waste of a little energy.
At this time, Xia Jieren was a little confused, "Hey, why doesn't this sea monster have that kind of strengthening ability?"
"Doesn't every powerful creature use it?"
The three overlords on the island all have the skill of "I become darker and stronger".
But this sea monster doesn't, is this racism?
Although Xia Jieren was a little confused, he was happy to see this happen.
After all, no one likes trouble, right?
More than twenty seconds passed as we chased each other.
As expected, the sea monster's swimming speed began to slow down.
At this point, the Hydralisk had already refilled its spines, and after charging, it fired directly.
The severely injured sea monster could not withstand this wave of attacks. After struggling for a few times, it died.
Waves rose on the sea surface, but after just a few dozen seconds, the sea surface returned to calm and the body of the sea monster slowly floated to the surface.
It is a pity that the originally clear sea water has become turbid. I don’t know how long it will take to return to its original state.
While Xia Jieren was sighing, Kerrigan had already started to order the Zerg and scouts to drag the sea monster's corpse.
Some fish who didn't know what was happening were enjoying Xia Jieren's spoils near the sea monster's corpse.
The sea monster was so huge that it could not be transported ashore in a short time, so the insect people had to cut its flesh and blood into pieces and then transport them to the nearest extraction room.
While the insects were busy, Xia Jieren was quietly waiting for the harvest of this battle in the base.
It is worth mentioning that the fungal creep wall was also recovered by Kerrigan, but unfortunately only 80% of the energy was recovered.
By noon, except for some good meat that had to be left for Xia Jieren to eat, the entire sea monster had been decomposed and transformed in the extraction chamber.
The deduction progress of flying dragons, brain worms, and infected people exploded again.
Xia Jieren couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, it is more efficient to learn from the genes of powerful creatures."
"We don't know how long it will take to deduce based on the heart network alone."
Now the progress of unlocking the brain worm has caught up with the flying dragon again, and it is expected that the brain worm can be successfully unlocked tonight.
Xia Jieren is looking forward to this very much.
Soon it was night, and with a slight ding sound, the brain worm was unlocked.
At this time, Xia Jieren was lying on the bed, checking his data panel directly in the mind network.

[Introduction: The appearance of a brain worm is similar to a huge head. It is one of the core units of the Zerg, and has extremely high intelligence. It can more accurately command other Zerg units to fight or collect resources. Brain worms are also divided into different levels, and different levels of brain worms can command different numbers of Zerg and combat radius. ]
"Tsk~, the Cerebrate is indeed a very important unit among the Zerg. Its cost alone is worthy of its status."
Xia Jieren sighed:
Then he clicked on the diagram of the brain worm.
Xia Jieren looked at the floating and rotating projection in front of him and asked speechlessly, "Kerrigan, is this cube the new appearance of the brain worm?"
Kerrigan: "Yes, Master."
After hearing Kerrigan's answer, Xia Jieren was too tired to complain.
The current brain worm doesn't look like a huge head at all. It is clearly a standard cube with a length, width and height of about 3 meters.
The brain worm's shell is still black-green with a metallic luster.
Xia Jieren was very curious, "How do brain worms eat?"
According to Kerrigan, brain worms need to lie on the fungal mat to replenish their energy, and they can store a large amount of energy for their own consumption.
In addition, brain worms generally do not move often. They will issue orders to various Zerg units through the mind network.
Afterwards, Xia Jieren asked Kerrigan again: "What are non-intelligent brainworms? What are their functions?"
Kerrigan: "As the name suggests, a non-intelligent brainworm is a brainworm without intelligence. It is like a server, providing computing power support for the mind network or other brainworms."
Xia Jieren quickly understood that a non-intelligent brain worm is simply a server without artificial intelligence. It can only provide computing power but cannot handle various tasks autonomously.
After figuring it out, Xia Jieren asked curiously, "Are brainworms also divided into different levels? How are they divided specifically?"
Kerrigan explained: "Cerebrates are the basic command units of the Zerg, and of course they are divided into different levels. Different levels of cerebrates can command different numbers of Zerg. Currently, only three levels of cerebrates can be hatched."
“1级脑虫可以指挥10w只虫族单位，2级脑虫可以指挥100w只虫族单位和1w只1级脑虫，3级脑虫可以指挥1000w只虫族单位以及1w只2级脑虫。”
“并且各级脑虫的指挥半径也不同。1级脑虫的指挥半径约为100公里，即以脑虫为中心100公里内的虫族都可以被其指挥。2级脑虫的指挥半径为500公里，3级脑虫为1000公里。”
"In addition, the cost of producing brainworms of different levels is also different. A non-intelligent brainworm requires at least 500 energy points. A level 1 brainworm requires 1 points, a level 2 requires 1 points, and a level 3 requires 10 points."
"Tsk, it's really not cheap. But it's really useful."
Xia Jieren said:
With the brain worm, the current command system of the Zerg is as follows:
Brainworm - Kerrigan - Overmind (Xia Jieren)
The benefits of brain worms are obvious.
Take the current worker bees for example. If they were commanded by a brain worm, their efficiency could be increased by at least 20%.
Although Xia Jieren wanted to try to hatch one immediately, now was not a good time to do so.
After Xia Jieren exited the mind network, he slowly fell asleep with some excitement.
The next day, Xia Jieren woke up early, completed his daily washing, and began a new day.
While Xia Jieren was having breakfast, he had already instructed Kerrigan to start hatching a level 1 brain worm.
When Xia Jieren arrived in front of the mother nest, a standard cube had already appeared in front of him.
Although Xia Jieren already knew what a brain worm looked like yesterday, he was still speechless when he saw the real thing.
