Chapter 44 Bio-network Technology

Time passed slowly, and soon a month had gone by.

Since the last lizardman attack, Blue Star has returned to peace, but beneath the surface, turbulent waves are surging.

Once Dongda University obtained the exact coordinates of the lizardman base, they quickly located its position.

However, after seeing the location, the University of Tokyo also encountered some difficulties.

The location of the lizardman base was very clever; it was chosen near an underwater extinct volcano deep in the Pacific Ocean.

When Fang Heng first saw this location, he quickly understood the lizardmen's intention: to use the heat energy inside the volcano to provide the energy needed for the base.

Although Fang Heng could destroy the base if he got serious, these lizardmen weren't the main concern; the alien behind them was what he was after.

Without a way to safely capture the other party, Fang Heng did not intend to make any rash moves.

Meanwhile, these targeted attacks by the lizardmen also made Fang Heng realize that something was amiss.

Inside the laboratory, Fang Heng and Jiang Feng stood in an operating room, looking at the experimental area through the glass with great curiosity.

"Old Jiang, you mean you've discovered these lizardmen's communication methods?"

"Yes, Mr. Fang. According to feedback from the frontline commander, no communication devices were found among these lizardmen during the cleanup of the battlefield, so we are also wondering if there are other means of communication."

Hearing Jiang Feng's words, Fang Heng also recalled the previous battle. Back then, the lizardmen were able to quickly organize and resist after being bombed. To say that they didn't have convenient communication methods would be nonsense.

At the time, I thought that these lizard people had more advanced communication methods and smaller equipment, so they didn't show it. But now it seems that's not the case.

"Tell me your specific methods of communication?"

"Mr. Fang, after our research, we discovered that this is a completely new method of biological communication. The principle is very complex. To put it simply, it is a kind of quantum communication similar to that in the biological field."

"Quantum communication in the biological field? The kind that ignores transmission distance?"

"Yes, but don't worry, this communication method is different from quantum communication. It requires a sufficiently powerful biological core to complete ultra-long-distance communication."

"A biological core? What's that?"

"Mr. Fang, this was found in the lizardmen's corpses this time. It's located inside their hearts and is a high-density energy crystal. To put it in perspective, one biological core is equivalent to 100 kilowatt-hours of electrical energy."

"Wow, that high? Is there any way to crack the technology behind it?"

Fang Heng was also startled by Jiang Feng's words.

100 kilowatt-hours of electricity may not sound like much, but when converted into heat, 1 kilowatt-hour is equal to 3.6 million joules, so 100 kilowatt-hours is 360 million joules.

The human body needs about 2000 calories a day, which is about 800 million joules.

This demonstrates the power of this biological core. A biological core placed in the center of the heart contains so much energy, and the power it can provide must be extremely strong. Perhaps the lizardman's own powerful physique is also related to this biological core.

At the same time, Fang Heng also thought about humanity itself. According to current research, humans are a magical species, especially the human brain. If its performance is fully utilized, it is more powerful than any supercomputer on Earth.

Unfortunately, the way the human body functions itself limits the performance of the brain.

Now, after the human enhancement, Fang Heng also feels that his brain is particularly useful, with a strong memory and fast calculation speed. It's just a pity that logical thinking requires a training process. It's like he has a powerful hardware, but the algorithm needs to be updated.

Jiang Feng, upon hearing Fang Heng's question, also gave a wry smile.

"Unfortunately, based on the samples we have obtained so far, it is quite difficult, mainly because we do not have any live experimental subjects, which makes the research progress very slow."

"Okay, I understand. I'll arrange for someone to bring over a batch of live specimens. Let's talk about this communication system first. Now that we've discovered it, can we use it on our end?"

"Yes, Mr. Fang. In fact, the reason I invited you here was to show you my results. I have improved this communication method and turned it into a biological network similar to the Internet. I have chosen one of the mother hives as the main server. With the powerful computing power of the mother hive itself, the biological network becomes more and more developed as the number of Zerg increases. And amazingly, it can also increase the computing power of the mother hive in turn."

"That's amazing?"

"Yes, Mr. Fang. Moreover, it is extremely powerful in terms of confidentiality and anti-interference capabilities, a thousand times better than the previous electromagnetic wave communication."

"Very good, let's begin the experiment."

"Okay, Mr. Fang."

Soon, the scene shifted from the laboratory to the moon, where a mother nest appeared inside one of the laboratories.

"Mr. Fang, this is the Hive chosen to serve as the primary service location. I placed it on the moon. With conventional communication methods, there is a delay of a few seconds between Earth and the moon, just like with previous Zerg communications."

Now, we can command the Zerg on Earth with zero latency through this mother hive on the moon.

Upon hearing this, Fang Heng nodded, signaling to begin.

As soon as the order was given, in another scene, a group of Zerg began to fight fiercely on the open ground. The deployment of troops between the two sides was very smooth, without any lag.

When it comes to the Zerg race in the game, it's basically a game of overwhelming swarms of Zerg.

However, in Fang Heng's opinion, this approach was actually somewhat of a waste of the Zerg's own powerful individual strength.

Of course, this is also a compromise, since the Zerg he is currently researching cannot mass produce units like the real Zerg, so he can only temporarily take the elite route.

The AI ​​training method and game training method proposed by Fang Heng last time inspired Jiang Feng. As a result, the Zerg's tactics and skills have been greatly improved over the past month. The cooperation between each Zerg unit in the battle between the two sides is very ingenious, and the grasp of the opportunity is also very timely.

The battle on the scene continued, and after a few minutes, the outcome of the battle between the two Zerg squads gradually became clear. One Zerg squad, having lost 10 Zerglings, completely annihilated the opposing Zerg squad.

"President Fang, the Zerg team with the biological network has won. Through the replay, we can see that although the battle between the two sides was very smooth at the time, in some details, the Zerg team's reaction to traditional electromagnetic wave communication was a step slower than that of the Zerg team with the biological network."

If both sides have weak strength and reaction speed, then this delay can be ignored.

However, the Zerg, after several rounds of enhancements by us, have seen their strength, speed, and reaction time increased several times over. Therefore, even the slightest delay is seized upon by the broodstock. Like a thousand-mile dike collapsing due to an anthill, their gradual accumulation of advantages ultimately leads to the annihilation of the entire Zerg squad.

After carefully reviewing it, Fang Heng nodded in satisfaction and then turned to ask another question.

"Has the previously mentioned cultivation speed improved?"

"Mr. Fang, there has been an improvement in this area. The current breeding speed is twice as fast as before. It only takes about an hour to breed a puppy completely."

This is based on the cultivation of a single spore. If a cultivation center is built, with sufficient organic matter, a large army of Zerg can be continuously produced in just half an hour.

"Very good, thank you for your hard work during this period. By the way, we still need to pay close attention to the mushroom carpet issue. At present, the methods for obtaining inorganic matter are still relatively scarce. The cultivation center can only identify organic matter. When organic matter and inorganic matter are mixed, they cannot be effectively absorbed. This aspect also needs to be improved."

"Okay, Mr. Fang, these are all in the research sequence, and I will keep an eye on the research progress."

"Okay, I'll be going now."

"Yes, Mr. Fang, take care."

Watching Fang Heng leave, Jiang Feng was also very emotional. Fang Heng's knowledge of biology was now no less than his own, making it much easier to explain things without having to waste time.

Moreover, having a knowledgeable superior is a very good thing, at least it prevents an outsider from leading an expert.

Fang Heng, after leaving, was also very moved. Jiang Feng was indeed a rare talent in the field of biology. In such a short time, so many scientific research achievements had been made. He himself also had a lot of knowledge in the field of biology, but research required inspiration, which he did not have the talent for. This was also the reason why he cooperated with Dongda University, in order to find talented researchers like Jiang Feng and solidify his scientific foundation.

Based on previous research data, Jiang Feng, a scientific genius, is someone with exceptionally strong algorithms, but his physical condition limits his potential.

However, with the help of Fang Heng's human enhancement agent, once the physical body is improved, greater power can be unleashed.

Before that, there is another problem that urgently needs to be solved, which is the body's energy intake.

The energy in ordinary food is limited. After being enhanced, the human body has a much greater need for ordinary food. Therefore, in order to save time when eating, high-energy foods have been developed.

To ensure the taste of the food, biotechnology was used to breed high-quality livestock as a meat supplier, which also provides energy to meet the needs of researchers after enhancement.

However, these are all temporary solutions, so improving the body's energy intake and utilization rate has always been a top priority research topic.

Previously, he had no clue what to do, but the appearance of the biological core gave Jiang Feng a great inspiration. With his current abilities and the help of living organisms, he should be able to achieve results soon.
