Time kept passing while waiting. After the Char base was established, the enemy stopped taking the initiative to launch attacks. On the contrary, Behemoth's insect swarm began to continuously attack other scheduled locations after the Char base was established.

The humans are naturally happy that there will be no more casualties and that mining will go more smoothly.

"Korhal" base, command center.

"Sure enough, it's jumping..." After receiving the news from Hydra, Yang Yi felt a little emotional, "Then what kind of insects can this set of genes be used for?"

"It mainly depends on your decision." Hydra replied, "Behemoth said that this set of gene chains was extracted from local organisms. If it is to be integrated into the zerg, it may take a period of actual testing. However,

Theoretically, it should be able to be integrated into all Zerg units."

"Flying units are also okay?"

"I think they don't need this gene..."

"Well... let's evolve a batch of each type of insect unit and put it into battle to see the actual effect." Yang Yi thought for a while and said, "I remember that it was extracted from a small creature, like

Small units like Springtails and Banelings should be more likely to succeed, right?"

"The success rate will be higher if the body size is similar. However, artificially forcibly inserting a gene that does not belong to them into the chromosomes of these Zerg units will definitely have some side effects. Although I don't know what the specific ones are, I guess it may be

There are negative effects such as shortening life span.”

"...the worms still have a lifespan?" Yang Yi was stunned for a moment.

"Of course there is. But the old age and death of the zerg are not cell aging and death in the traditional sense. There is a special amino acid in the zerg's body that allows the cells of the zerg to divide and renew without an upper limit. However, this division cannot be effectively controlled.

Each update may give birth to a completely different tissue from the original tissue. To give a simple example, if humans have similar functions, and you give yourself a knife on your hand, the regenerated tissue may not be muscle tissue, but granulation.

Tissue or fibrous tissue. Although this constant division and renewal can keep the cells of the zerg in a young state, it will cause the zerg's physiological functions to make errors in the continuous updating, and eventually lose combat effectiveness and even vitality, and then be naturally eliminated and thrown into the

In the Split Pool."

"...This is the first time I've heard of it. How do you know it in such detail?"

"This is what Behemoth asked me to tell you."

The first useful gene sequence discovered was a gene sequence that Yang Yi was very familiar with that could strengthen the leg muscles of the Zerg to provide the Zerg unit with the ability to jump back and forth between different heights. However, this sequence is currently not limited to

After giving the springtails and poisonous banelings, but actually extracting the genetic sequence, Behemoth handed the choice to Yang Yi, letting him decide which zerg unit to give.

"Can all the useful genes discovered be inserted into the body of the zerg? Wouldn't this be able to strengthen the zerg to the highest degree?"

"If the complexity of the chromosomes is too high, it will be even more detrimental to the zerg." Hydra shook his head and denied his question, "Not to mention the possible conflicts between many gene sequences, too complex chromosomes may also lead to uncontrollable complexity.

Mutations, and the chromosomes are too complex, and are not friendly to batch hatching. The zerg may not be able to hatch in large numbers as before and drown the enemy with the worm sea tactic."

"...Isn't that bad? To increase the combat effectiveness of a single target and reduce casualties, at least there won't be a scene where a consul can directly kill a group of springtails and die together with a thunder beast, right?"

"But what you need to understand is that the biggest advantage of the swarm is that it does not need supplies and can rely on huge numbers to sweep across planets one after another. This is what we need most." Hydra reminded, "Commander, you have us.

, or you have that system, the biggest advantage is that you can make humans, protoss and zerg all loyal to you, so you need to make reasonable use of the characteristics of each race."

"You will be able to have protoss under your command in the future, and I don't think I need to emphasize the combat effectiveness of protoss. With those powerful individual combat capabilities, what you need more is a large number of conventional troops. Our human troops

It is not enough for such a huge number. The most important thing is that humans need more supplies and maintenance. They are far less self-sufficient than the zerg who can use local materials.

Sweeping a planet within a month, but humans and protoss cannot do it, this is the value of the zerg."

"They are both planets with a population of 6 billion. If humans carry out an extreme mobilization of ten to one, they can only mobilize 600 million troops. If the protoss adds up Durham, Sagulath and Ta'darin, do they have 6 billion?

It’s all unknown, and at least two-thirds of the 6 billion population of the zerg are combat troops.”

"When you need to carry out a fortified battle against a strong defense facility, when you need to conduct some kind of attrition operation, the zerg will be your best choice. Because the huge number of zerg will make it impossible for them to kill you no matter how many times they die.

They won’t feel too distressed, and they won’t weaken our strength too much. This is exactly the value given by the zerg.”

"If these still don't convince you, you can look at the battle damage ratio between the Empire and the Zerg every year. The protoss is carrying out 'purification' work on the Zerg planet every year, and the Empire has been on the front lines to resist the Zerg attacks year after year.

The losses of the group are almost countless, but they are still feared by the protoss and humans. Since the fall of Aiur, the protoss have not been able to recover it. Since the Brood War, the empire has never dared to set foot on Char.

These are all facts before our eyes.”

Yang Yi didn't expect that he would be taught a lesson by Hydra, but he was indeed a little confused. He just thought that it would be nice if the zerg units became stronger, as strong as the protoss, but he never thought about it.

These are deeper things.

"I see……"

After receiving the order, Behemoth quickly ordered Char Base to hatch a batch of experimental Zerg units. However, some of these units had a high fatality rate when hatched. After countless attempts,

Afterwards, Behemoth was still unable to solve the problem and was forced to give up.

In the end, the Ultralisk was abandoned due to its high fatality rate, and the remaining units barely maintained a stable survival rate. But soon, the Infected Bug was also abandoned, because no matter how strong the Infected Bug was, its legs could not support its heavy body.

Large jumping movements.

In the following battles, Behemoth sent these experimental units to join the battle and continuously conducted tests and screenings. Springtails and Banelings performed well, and Hydralisks performed more amazingly. Originally, Behemoth
