National Development: I built a base on the rock beast - Chapter 357
Chapter 357 Bug Development
After briefly lamenting the difference between humans and animals, Duan Ming looked at Li La and said, “Since you came out to find us, does that mean you have achieved results?”
As for the countermeasure, Li La smiled and said, “Of course, who do you think I am? It’s just a bug, I can’t handle it. Let’s go, I’ll show you my latest results.”
The three of them came to the experimental field again.
At this time, there were no insect eggs in the experimental field, but instead there were various insects.
Duan Ming still knew that one kind of insect egg could hatch multiple kinds of insects.
Although there are many kinds of insects in a nest, they are actually produced by the same mother insect.
In other words, the insects in the entire nest are not strictly divided into races. They are just different branches of the same kind of insect.
The eggs for hatching insects are the same, the difference is the energy size and band output by the hatching blanket.
Of course, the fact that the eggs can hatch various insects is essentially determined by the genes carried in the eggs.
The role of the hatching blanket is only to activate some genes in the eggs in a targeted manner, so as to achieve the effect of the same egg but different insects.
Retracting his thoughts, Duan Ming continued to look at the experimental field.
So far, under the command of Mi La, different insects have started their own actions.
From their actions, Duan Ming can also see the role of these insects.
First, some insects that look like spiders but have only four legs will start to spit silk.
One end of the silk thread is connected to the insect’s mouth, and the other end is connected to a collector.
When an insect finishes spitting silk, it will be replaced by another insect. The replaced insect crawls on the hatching blanket and starts to replenish energy.
“This is a kind of weaving insect that is specially born to preserve food. Its function is to wrap and control living organisms with their unique silk threads.”
“The cocoons woven with their silk threads are extremely tough, breathable and sweat-absorbent inside, and anti-fouling and waterproof outside. At the same time, they are warm in winter and cool in summer.”
“The most important point is that the fabric woven with this silk thread is very comfortable to wear. It is the best choice for making underwear.”
As she said, Mi La lifted her thighs under Duan Ming’s surprised eyes.
Then he said to Duan Ming: “This is the Earth-style clothing I made using your Earth-style textile technology. What do you think?”
Duan Ming looked at the stockings on the legs of Mi La and said helplessly: “How can you let me describe this? Apart from the appearance, I haven’t worn it, so how can I know if it’s good.”
Hearing Duan Ming’s words, Mi La couldn’t help but frown.
“In that case, you will know if you try it on.”
As she said that, Mi La took out another pair of stockings from under the table.
“This is my spare. Try it, it’s still very comfortable to wear.”
Duan Ming waved his hand and said, “Forget it. After all, you didn’t make this just for something pleasing to the eye, did you?”
Mi La rolled her eyes at Duan Ming and said unhappily, “This is just the simplest application. In the past, my textile technology was average, and this kind of silk could only be used for this.”
“But now we have the textile technology of Earth. It is not impossible to make this silk thread into the inner material of combat uniforms or mix it with other fibers to make new combat uniforms.”
Hearing Mi La’s words, Duan Ming also nodded in agreement.
“If the combat uniforms are comfortable to wear, although they cannot directly improve combat effectiveness, they are still beneficial to the physical and mental health of soldiers.”
Then Mi La showed Duan Ming several insects with special shells.
“These insects are the source of the materials for the exoskeleton armor. The exoskeleton armor is composed of the most proud parts of these insects.”
As she spoke, she pointed to an insect whose head looked very similar to the head of the exoskeleton armor and said, “This is the insect that makes up the head.”
“Their mission among insects is to be alert. There are hundreds of millions of compound eyes in the translucent carapace covering the entire face, which is used to alert the slightest disturbance in Base 4.”
“Because the heads of these insects are exposed when on alert, the carapaces on their heads are very strong. Even among the Zerg, they are in the top ten.”
“In order to match the hundreds of millions of compound eyes, the brains of these insects are relatively developed, and the carapaces on their heads are relatively large. This makes these insects the best choice for exoskeleton armor helmets.”
“Just hollow out the brain of this insect from the bottom, then clean the inside and air dry it. Then simply process the bottom to make it fit the body, and fill it with woven insect fabric.
“A sturdy, shock-resistant, visually good and comfortable helmet is initially completed. ”
Then, Lila introduced several other insects to the two of them, and their materials and production are similar to those of the warning insects.
After listening to Lila’s explanation, Duan Ming remembered the exoskeleton armor that had been passed on before. Although it looks bulky, it is actually very light.
“If these exoskeleton armors can be combined with the technology of Earth, it is possible to make a new type of armor that is both light and has a high-tech auxiliary system. ”
In response to Duan Ming’s proposal, Lila said: “Do you think I haven’t thought of it? I’m doing it. I’m doing it. I’ll leave it to your scientific research robot to do it.”
Seeing that Lila has such a strong execution ability, Duan Ming nodded with relief.
“She is worthy of being the prophet who supports the entire Nara clan. Although she seems unreliable at ordinary times. But she still has a set of skills in scientific research and development.”
However, Duan Ming, who was praising the other party in his heart, didn’t know. Lila just threw the mess to Ms. Bai on the other side of the scientific research robot.
Duan Ming’s own people are still the ones doing the real work, and Huila is still lazy.
After a brief visit to Huela’s experimental site, Duan Ming returned to the laboratory.
In the laboratory at this time, the scientific research robot is undergoing the transformation of exoskeleton armor.
Duan Ming didn’t bother him after seeing him.
After walking straight to another experimental table, Duan Ming summoned the gratitude weapon he had seen before.
“With Kuela here, combining the technologies of both parties can make some weapons better. However, some weapons that are not originally related to biotechnology will have to be developed by ourselves.”
With this in mind, Duan Ming brought up a design drawing marked with a red S letter.
“Sky Fortress—Astym. Now that we have control of the pumice mine, it’s time to put it on the agenda.”
Duan Ming waved his palm, and the drawings on the screen began to flip.
Each red S appears on the drawing. These are actually all components of the air fortress.
An aerial fortress with S-class standards, from weapons to armor, from drives to energy sources, appeared in Duan Ming’s mind.
“If this is really built, whether it is used to defend the base, or to garrison one side, or to divide the troops into battle, this aerial fortress will become a powerful weapon.”
