Penglai Island.
Fifty years later.
Today, Zhang Changkong accidentally looked at a Holy Soul Insect egg.
Zhang Changkong wouldn't care about ordinary Holy Soul Insect eggs.
But this Holy Soul Insect egg has far more vitality than ordinary insect eggs.
Holy Soul Insects have been breeding on Penglai Island for fifty years, and now their number exceeds one hundred thousand, with new eggs being laid every day.
When the Holy Soul Insect is born, it is weaker than ordinary bees. Even if Zhang Changkong arranges a formation to protect it, it will be difficult to survive.
Only after becoming a zerg, the holy soul worm rarely loses or dies due to environmental factors.
Over the past fifty years, compared to the 100,000 living Holy Soul Insects, there are even more dead Holy Soul Insect larvae.
The egg in front of him was no different from those lifeless insect eggs at first, so Zhang Changkong would not pay attention to it at all.
However, today, the insect egg suddenly glowed with powerful vitality, causing Zhang Changkong's consciousness to notice something abnormal.
Zhang Changkong had never seen the abnormality of this insect egg, but Tongtian Temple had recorded it.
It is one of the scenes of the birth of polycerebrates.
The Polybrain Worm is an extremely rare and excellent mutant individual of the Holy Soul Worm.
Holy soul worms can connect spiritual thoughts. If a single holy soul worm is regarded as a network node, the multi-brained worm is a terminal processor, which can quickly process the information received by the holy soul worm.
This ability of the multi-brained worm cannot even be replaced by the holy soul worm at the divine worm level.
In addition to exerting the stronger abilities of the Holy Soul Insect, the Polybrain Insect can also control other creatures.
Apart from the irreproducible Steel King and Iron King, the single-round effect of the Holy Soul Insect can only be compared to that of the Returning Insect.
But a single Guixu worm is far inferior to a multi-brained worm.
Polybrained bugs are among the bugs that Zhang Changkong has controlled, and are the bugs that are most likely to become god-level bugs.
Originally, Zhang Changkong never thought that his holy soul worm could mutate into a multi-brained worm.
After all, according to the records of the Tongtian Temple, even among the trillions of surviving Holy Soul Insects, a single polybrained worm may not be born.
Ignoring the Holy Soul Insects that are not even Zerg, the Holy Soul Insects at the first level of Zerg have a lifespan of only thirty to fifty years, and the King Insects only have about seven hundred to a thousand years.
Within the Tongtian Temple, trillions of holy soul insects die every once in a while.
Until the departure of the Absolute World hundreds of millions of years ago, Tongtian Temple cultivated countless holy soul worms, but the number of multi-brained worms, even the earliest five, could not reach twenty.
One can imagine how low the probability of this mutation is.
In order to study the directional mutation of polycerebrates, the Tongtian Temple has done countless experiments, but the final result is naturally nothing.
A weird thing about the size of a palm, like a bacterium, with tentacles of different sizes breaks open the eggs.
This little thing couldn't even see where it was, but it was able to accurately determine Zhang Changkong's position, and its tentacles moved towards Zhang Changkong.
Zhang Changkong bent down and carefully held up the small thing.
After so many years of controlling insects, not even the King of Steel, Zhang Changkong, has ever treated him so tenderly.
If the research on Penglai Island had not been carried out, no matter how precious these multi-brained worms were, Zhang Changkong would not waste his expression at all. After all, worms were just tools in his eyes.
However, now that the capable bug has left, he feels the importance of the tool.
Therefore, when an outstanding individual was suddenly found among a bunch of junk tool bugs, even Zhang Changkong, who had always been polite to bugs, couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.
The first thousand Holy Soul Insects had worrying intelligence.
Because the wild world is not friendly to species other than the human race, it seems that the king insects or even the ancient insects raised will not be very intelligent.
Penglai Island resource allocation and integration of research data are things that insects cannot do.
Zhang Changkong was so annoyed by the chores on the island that he once wanted to find a few humans to handle these chores since he didn't believe in humans.
specific person
He had already identified several well-performing disciples headed by Gu Mo.
However, now that I have polycerebral worms, I don’t have any worries anymore.
Once this polycerebrate becomes a zerg, it will be enough to free him from the chores.
From this day on, Zhang Changkong kept the Duo-brain worm by his side and took care of it personally, for fear that this irreplaceable tool worm would die.
From this moment on, the most precious thing on Penglai Island is the polycerebrate.
After all, if Chun Shu dies, he can still ask for it from Wo. It is no big deal if all the researchers die. He can replenish a batch in a matter of decades or even less.
As for polycerebrates, the birth of polycerebrates basically depends on their appearance. If you are unlucky, you will not get new polycerebrates until an external disaster strikes.
Under Zhang Changkong's generous training, the polycerebrate transformed into a zerg in just ten years.
On this day, just when Zhang Changkong thought he was going back to the boring routine of basking in the sun and waiting for harvest.
The multi-brained insect named Jueshou by Zhang Changkong contacted Zhang Changkong, and Gu Mo wanted to see him.
The team led by Gu Mo has ranked first in Penglai in terms of research progress in biology for sixty years. Only Guna's team was once qualified to compete with it.
Zhang Changkong is still willing to take the time to meet this kind of talent.
"You're saying that most researchers are old and no longer useful?"
Zhang Changkong said:
"In the past sixty years, haven't you recruited many new generation researchers from Penglai?"
The original three million "volunteers" have already multiplied on Penglai Island.
After all, those people who are being studied may not necessarily be killed. Generally speaking, "volunteers" can survive for a while after their bodies are "emptied out" by researchers.
Originally, the mortality rate of those "volunteers" would have been high. It is said that Guna paid the price for this so that most of the "volunteers" could survive.
Penglai Island is morally corrupt and has no restrictions on reproduction. Most of the new generation on the island are related to researchers. Even the Gu Mo in front of him left many heirs.
Gu Mo shook his head and said:
"Those people can only serve as assistants. They all have elm-headed minds and can't even teach. I can't believe that this inferior breed is actually a human being like us."
After years of research, most researchers, including Gu Mo, see people not as a whole, but as a pile of "materials."
Zhang Changkong knew that these researchers were somewhat perverted, but he didn't care. Human beings are inherently diverse. The only difference is whether they can hide it. In Zhang Changkong's view, normal and abnormal people just have one more "clothes". The essence is still the same.
So he won't look at these researchers strangely.
After hearing what Gu Mo said, Zhang Changkong felt that it made sense.
The researchers recruited before were selected by themselves from trillions of people. Now, even if the new generation is trained from an early age, the talent gap determines that they will not achieve much.
Originally, Zhang Changkong wanted to wait until this group of researchers were "reincarnated" and then recycle them so that they could be recycled.
But they did not consider that there is still a window of aging.
As for the violent forced arrangement of collective reincarnation, Zhang Changkong is not that perverted. After all, those people are in the name of his Zhang Changkong disciples.
Well, it seems that we still need to find two batches of people to take shifts and replenish the wear and tear of the cycle.
