Chapter 551

Zhao Mai has never forgotten his dream of leaving the earth for the starry sky. The creatures in the environment of other planets must contain many surprises, which can give him more insights as a druid. Moreover, the earth is too crowded for a druid. Under the shadow of the eight disengagers and their respective organizations, there is still time to go back to this killer. It is not a suitable place for development.

But Zhao Mai can't give up the earth. After all, it is the center of the world of origin, as well as his own motherland and home. It's not impossible to be present and far away at the same time. Just build your home far away from the surface of the earth. Zhao Mai is going to discuss with the old man that if the orbit of the moon is too close, Mars, asteroids and even farther places can be considered.

However, the basis of all this depends on the restoration of the ghost ship. Although the ghost spaceship Zhao Mai contacted is still a creature, it is actually incomplete, just like the difference between normal people and vegetative people. The ghost removed most of the brains of the spaceship creatures, and replaced many of their body organs with artificial equipment, and mixed them into their warships. Zhao Mai is not sure whether the DNA inside the spaceship is complete after this transformation, and he does not know whether the Z worm's reduction ability can support the whole project.

That's why this experiment is even more important, which may directly affect his future plans. The mangroves in Wordsworth are ideal experimental sites, relatively isolated, whether it's swampy terrain or goblin patrols. Wordsworth has always been practicing the "single person natural environment" method, so there are no beasts nearby, and the initial safety of Z insect can also be guaranteed.

Looking at Wordsworth, Zhao Mai seems to see another version of himself. In his Druid growth path, enlightenment is the first step, but it is Wordsworth who really leads him to the road of development. Wordsworth is building a "single person ecological environment". Zhao Mai is not like this. Even Z worm is actually another form of separation. The only difference is that Zhao Mai takes special care of his mind and soul, with layers of protection and does not dare to move at all. He learned from the failures of others and so far everything has been OK.

However, he always goes ahead of others, from a follower to a leader. He has little experience to learn from. He has to cut through the thorns to ensure that there will be no mistakes at that time. Zhao Mai patted his chest and clenched his fist. He repeatedly reminded himself not to take things for granted, not to be arrogant, and to remember criticism and self-criticism.

"What do you think? Why hit yourself all of a sudden? " Xiao Hua's voice rings in Zhao Mai's ear. It seems that she has finally decided to show up. Zhao Mai made a face at Xiaohua, because he was happy to figure out how to keep moving forward: "criticism and self-criticism, let's take care of each other, I think no matter what difficulties can pass, this is the meaning of companionship."

"Well, I think so, too." Xiaohua smiles, completely puts down her heart, and lies on Zhao Mai's shoulder again, hanging on it weightlessly.

"The · Che" starts the engine, takes Zhao Mai and others to the north, and leaves Z insect behind. It wriggled, climbed to a mangrove fragment, changed into a serrated mouth and bit down. Only a slight click was heard, and the wood was chewed into dross like tofu. After swallowing, the food is divided into "body material" and "energy". The strong digestion and absorption capacity makes Z insect expand rapidly. The weight of Z insect is almost the same as that of Z insect.

It took an hour for a worm the size of an earthworm to grow into a rabbit. With the increase of size, Z worm's feeding speed is also speeding up. In another hour, he becomes as big as an adult dog.

Wood, grass, insects and soil, it eats everything, but still feels unable to gather the nutrients it needs. So Z began to split for the first time, from a big dog to a rabbit, but it was divided into four parts. One of them began to drill underground, charging for rocks and minerals; one was covered with chlorophyll and became a fast-growing sapling, sending out an attractive aroma to attract birds and insects; the other continued to clean up the surrounding plant debris and kill everything that could be eaten. The last one has six legs, covered with a spiny carapace, claw like forefeet and sharp teeth, and looks hideous. It quickly runs out of the swamp, searches its surroundings, finds and destroys its enemies - and its prey.

It will soon have a harvest. In addition to the mangrove giant, there are a lot of debris in the swamp. The fragments of the pyramid aircraft have been lying in the swamp. Although many of them have sunk into the swamp, these minerals, metals and high polymer organic materials are processed, which is undoubtedly a treasure house for Z insect.

Except for the z-bug that was drilling down, the other three slowly moved to the wreckage of the pyramid aircraft. Scouts Z insect continue to explore the way, engineers Z insect began to tidy up the wreckage, no matter what, a rush to move to the green base Z insect, for it to eat.

Unlike Zhao Mai, Z insect can not directly change substances, but it can decompose and transport substances. Under the constant proliferation, the green Z insect soon expanded to five meters high, bulging like a fat pointed tent. It specifically splits other Z worms in the body, and creates bone marrow components based on the DNA memory of the ghost ship. Since Zhao Mai and z-bug have learned all the cell organs of the ghost spaceship, and even improved them into a new form suitable for human + z-bug, the ghost spaceship has adapted to the local environment since its initial cells.The ghost ship itself has the ability to regenerate, but it can't regenerate completely with only one finger like the troll. If there is only a little bone marrow, it can't be reduced to a spaceship, only by Z worms continuously providing energy and organ materials. This work is much slower than z-worm's self splitting, and it's almost advancing inch by inch.

But the strength of z-bug is change and adaptation. Feeling that the progress was slow, Z worm used the method of "extending working hours, improving work intensity and increasing the number of workers". Soon it set up another four manufacturing workshops, parallel manufacturing components of the phantom spacecraft. It constantly balances the speed of resource collection and consumption, or increases the mining speed, or increases the manufacturing workshop.

Life comes from the ocean and development from the earth. The biggest material source of Z insect is the land. Everything in the swamp is concentrated. Under the constant gnawing, the ground and water surface are all falling, and only Z insects are expanding. This is a construction site that is constantly sinking. The water in all directions gathers in the middle and soon forms a lake. With the help of buoyancy, the manufacturing workshop keeps moving from more and more unstable heights to lower places until it reaches the bottom of the newly excavated lake. A few days later, there was no manufacturing workshop, only a shaking lake.

As the swamp dries out, the water content in the periphery begins to decline, and the mud is digested and absorbed by Z insects, which are converted into the ingredients needed by more Z insects and ghost ships. Incalculable cells are constantly replicating, cloning and proliferating, and mutation also occurs.

Some variations are good, but most of them are just mistakes in cell reproduction. But even if it's a mistake, it's picked out by Z bug and stored in a special place, waiting for Zhao Mai to look back and see.

In this way, the skeleton of the ghost ship began to take shape.
