Chapter 8 Exploding Troops
Since the worker bees are so powerful, insects and others don't have to worry about finding food.
Then, Xia Jieren instructed in the heart network: "From now on, focus on searching for more species genes."
The insects all obeyed the order.
After everything was arranged, Xia Jieren stayed leisurely in the heart net.
He conjured up all kinds of furniture and looked at the resources flowing in like water, grinning from ear to ear.
After noon.
Xia Jieren walked out of the wooden house under the scorching sun.
Looking at the pile of trees in front of him, his brows furrowed.
"It seems that the extraction chamber in the mother nest is still too small."
After thinking for a long time, Xia Jieren called out Kerrigan and asked, "Kerrigan, can you separate the extraction chamber?"
"can!"
Hearing this, Xia Jieren put his heart back in his stomach.
To be honest, if it cannot, it will greatly affect the development speed of the Zerg.
After consuming more than 200 energy points and an hour, the [Extraction Chamber] template was deduced.
[Master: Xia Jieren]
【Energy: 2.6】
[Army type template: Worker Bee (100), Bugman (Intelligent, Powerful) (60)]
[Units: Worker Bee x3, Bug Man (Power Type x15, Intelligence Type x1)]
[Building template: Extraction room (u), mother nest (u)]
[Building: Mother Nest x1]
-----------------
【Architecture: Extraction Room】
【Energy: u (indicates uncertainty)】
【Function: Transform energy】
[Introduction: Able to convert various resources into the energy needed by the Zerg. ]
The function of the extraction room is very simple, but it is very useful at this stage.
After more than half an hour, he had accumulated 100 energy points again.
Xia Jieren recruited a worker bee and had it hatch an extraction chamber next to the mother nest.
"Oh! Why do we need to sacrifice a worker bee every time a building is hatched? This is too unreasonable." Xia Jieren complained.
A minute later, Xia Jieren looked at the sphere in front of him and said sarcastically, "Isn't it possible that all Zerg buildings have this appearance?"
“That’s beautiful, too.”
"What's the difference between this matchbox built in MC?"
I went in and took a look, and it was almost the same as the extraction room in the mother nest.
Xia Jieren walked out of the extraction room and caught a glimpse of a pipe out of the corner of his eye.
This pipe connects the hive to the extraction chamber.
"Eh~, this should be the energy transmission pipeline."
Xia Jieren squatted down curiously and poked it with his finger.
Originally, he thought that the Zerg would be able to transmit energy wirelessly like in the game, but who would have thought that a medium would be needed.
In the past, Xia Jieren acted as a medium, but now he has become a channel.
If you think about it carefully, this makes more sense. After all, games are not reality.
Now, there are only two worker bees working hard.
Xia Jieren could only wait quietly for the energy to accumulate.
Since there was already an extraction chamber, he let the mother nest directly recycle the extraction chamber inside it.
"Not bad, more than 20 points of energy were recovered." Xia Jieren exclaimed.
It has to be said that the Zerg has a high utilization rate of materials.
The recycling of buildings and arms can recover between 80 and 90 percent of their construction cost.
Soon it was night, and Xia Jieren hatched another new worker bee.
During this period, Xia Jieren gained a deeper understanding of worker bees by questioning Kerrigan.
Super strong endurance, this is the common feature of all Zerg units.
Given the current workload, worker bees can work continuously for three days and three nights, and then only need to rest for four to five hours to fully recover.
The chosen worker!
This is the employee every boss dreams of.
Based on this, Xia Jieren let them go out to work at night.
Given the strong bodies of worker bees, no animal should be able to threaten them.
However, just in case, Xia Jieren asked them to continue cutting trees one hundred meters away from the cabin.
Although the efficiency is a little slower, the impact is not significant.
The most important thing is that if any danger occurs, Xia Jieren will have enough time to escape.
Safety first!
Nothing happened that night.
The only drawback was that the noise made by the worker bees moving the trees was a bit noisy, which affected Xia Jieren's sleep quality.
But it's not a big problem.
The next day was another beautiful day.
After Xia Jieren got up, he simply rinsed his mouth and then brushed his teeth with salt.
"I really want to brush my teeth with toothpaste. It's so uncomfortable to have a bad smell in my mouth."
He complained in his heart and missed the life on Blue Star very much.
After washing up, Chong Er thoughtfully served breakfast.
Unfortunately, Xia Jieren didn't even look at it and let him send it into the extraction room.
Now, the Zerg core stores more than 100 points of energy to supply Xia Jieren with daily consumption.
Theoretically, he can go without food for three months.
So now he is very willful. He eats when he wants to and doesn't eat when he doesn't want to.
Afterwards, Xia Jieren came to the door of the extraction room and saw the mountains of trees at a glance.
"It seems that the extraction chamber needs to be expanded!"
After saying that, he looked at his data panel out of habit.
I don’t know, I’m scared.
[Master: Xia Jieren]
【Energy: 1322.9】
[Army type template: Worker Bee (100), Bugman (Intelligent, Powerful) (60)]
[Units: Worker Bee x3, Bug Man (Power Type x15, Intelligence Type x1)]
[Building template: Extraction room (u), mother nest (u)]
[Building: Extraction Room x1, Mother Nest x1]
I didn't expect that after just one night, the energy reserves had exceeded 1,000.
What was there to hesitate about? Xia Jieren waved his hand and spent more than 400 energy points to upgrade the extraction room.
The volume of the extraction chamber began to increase and soon exceeded that of the mother nest. When its volume was about twice that of the mother nest, it stopped.
Looking at the new extraction room that could fit a whole tree, Xia Jieren nodded with satisfaction.
Then, he ordered again: "Kerrigan, hatch eight more worker bees!"
"From now on, as long as there is extra energy, just keep hatching worker bees."
"As you command, Master."
Xia Jieren planned to take advantage of the abundant energy to destroy a wave of soldiers first.
Soon, with the joint efforts of more than a dozen worker bees, the jungle near the wooden house was cleared into an open space.
The bumpy open space made Xia Jieren very uncomfortable, so he was forced to send out two or three worker bees to flatten the open space again.
Time flies, and soon it is night.
At this time, there are about twenty-three worker bees.
Xia Jieren was very satisfied with the development of the Zerg today.
"I guess there will be more worker bees tomorrow."
Xia Jieren said expectantly.
The stage of primitive capital accumulation is the most difficult, but it will surely be much easier in the future.
Sure enough, the next morning.
When Xia Jieren got up, he checked the number of worker bees again and found that it had doubled.
In addition, because the worker bees go deep into the jungle to cut down trees, this attracts the attention of some predators.
Unfortunately, worker bees are not vegetarians, and ordinary carnivores are no match for them.
