Chapter 30 Spore Drop Container: The Combat Methods of Biological Civilization
Inside the Hive Base of the Star Group, Sarah and Kyle were somewhat shocked as they looked at what Fang Heng was showing them.
"What are all these?"
"Biological weapons."
"Biological weapon? Indeed, that's a very apt description."
Looking at the strange creature that had just hatched from its egg in the picture, Kyle and Sarah both showed expressions of "I see" on their faces.
"Alright, you can go back and rest now. Since Judgment Day has already happened, there's no use in regretting it now. What we need to do is destroy this Legion AI and rebuild human civilization."
"Okay, Fang Heng, I'll head back now."
"Me too. I'll go back and rest first to prepare for the upcoming battle."
As the two left, Fang Heng looked at the biological weapons constantly hatching from their eggs on the screen and asked a question.
"Morning Star, what are the specifications for these biological weapons?"
"Commander, the original version of the biological weapon, due to missing data, has only about 70% of the combat power of the Nemesis. After all, it does not have machine guns and plasma cannons, and can only rely on its forelimbs to attack."
However, in our new generation of biological weapons, we've added organs that generate plasma, allowing us to slowly launch massive plasma plumes. If sufficient energy is accumulated, these plumes can be launched directly into space.
As Chenxing demonstrated, Fang Heng's eyes grew increasingly amazed.
"Morning Star, you didn't breed this according to the Zerg design of Starship Troopers, did you?"
"In terms of functionality, there are some references. In fact, from a functional point of view, the Zerg setting in Starship Troopers has its merits."
"for example?"
"Both explosive bugs and plasma bugs are possible."
"How are these controlled?"
"Biochip cells are a type of biological cell chip that was accidentally created. They have both the powerful computing capabilities of a chip and the characteristics of biological cells."
After discovering this, we quickly determined the cultivation method. This technology is now mature; a cell wafer of the same volume has tens of thousands of times the computing power of a traditional computer.
"There must be some drawbacks to this, right?"
"Yes, Commander, this kind of cell chip can also be called a brain cell. As you know, the human brain has a very powerful computing ability, but at that time, the human body's energy intake limited the brain's use. Therefore, for the same volume, this cell chip consumes thousands of times more energy than a traditional computer chip."
"In addition, there is also the problem of heat dissipation, which is also a difficult problem to be solved. Now we put a biological cell chip into a biological solution and use the circulating solution to dissipate heat."
The effect is actually not very high, so the performance of a complete biochip cell array is only a few thousand times that of a traditional silicon-based chip.
Leveraging this powerful performance, we recently built our first biological supercomputer, which boasts a computing speed hundreds of times faster than traditional supercomputers.
"Why is it only a hundred times?"
"The main problem is heat dissipation. The existing biological solution cannot completely dissipate heat, and the specific heat capacity is insufficient, so the biological supercomputer is not running at full power. But even so, it can still be used as the main brain of the biological weapon."
"So, these bio-weapons can be controlled like the Zerg?"
"Yes, Commander. However, the current communication method is still electromagnetic communication, so the control of these bio-weapons can only be limited to one planet."
"I understand now. In fact, we still haven't broken free from the mental constraints of mechanical civilization in many areas."
"Yes, Commander. After all, most of the scientists' education from childhood is related to mechanical technology."
"Alright, that should be enough for now. Is the spore drop pod ready?"
"All preparations are complete, and delivery can begin at any time!"
"Let's begin. The previous battles were just small skirmishes. Only large-scale operations can reveal the weaknesses of these biological weapons."
"Yes, Commander."
As a command was sent out, spherical biological spores were released from a massive space station in geosynchronous orbit.
These are spore drop pods carrying biological weapons. They contain air bladders that can be inflated just before landing to increase buoyancy and safely deliver the biological weapons to the ground.
In fact, this method is a last resort. In order to meet the need for rapid global deployment, these biological weapons can only be deployed in this way.
However, Fang Heng is already considering new delivery methods, as this one will eventually be phased out.
Looking at the airdrop pods that had already been deployed, Fang Heng also checked the data of several biological weapons.

-----------------
This deployment includes four types of biological weapons, covering melee, long-range bombing, field control, and flying units.
In terms of unit composition, the basic requirements have been met. In addition, there is another important element in this spore delivery: the mother nest.
This is a simplified version of a biological breeding center, used as a forward base on the battlefield.
In the footage, the spore drop pod moves very fast, leaving a long trail of flames in the air.
"boom!"
After the spore drop pod hit the ground, it slowly opened from the top, like flower petals.
"Commander, the spores have detected severely excessive levels of radiation outside, making it unsuitable for human habitation."
Will biological weapons be affected?
"No, the harsh environment was taken into account from the very beginning of the cultivation process, so many things were used as the energy source for the biological weapon."
"Morning Star, I must say, you have a lot of ideas. This must have been inspired by Godzilla, right?"
"Yes, Commander."
Fang Heng smiled slightly, very satisfied with Morning Star's level of intelligence.
His own cheat ability ensured that Morning Star would always be loyal to him, and even the bio-weapons were no exception, because conceptually, these bio-weapons were also his subordinates.
At this moment, at the location of the Legion's robot forces, the Mother Nest had fully expanded, its tentacles digging deep into the ground to continuously absorb organic matter.
Meanwhile, the part at the top, which resembles a flower stamen, continuously absorbs nuclear radiation, light energy, and other energy from the surrounding air as its own.
"roar!"
With a loud roar, a large number of puppies poured out from between the flower stamens and petals, heading towards the factory not far away.
"Da da da!"
The robots in the factory were not to be trifled with either; they opened fire immediately after detecting a large number of living beings approaching.
"Jingle bells!"
Faced with the puppies' reinforced chitinous shells, the ammunition from these light weapons was completely ineffective and was blocked entirely.
Seeing this, Fang Heng was also very curious.
"Morning Star, what is the potential of this chitinous shell?"
"The potential is very strong. According to our current standards, the standard version of the chitin shell is comparable to special steel of the same thickness, but in terms of weight, it is only one-tenth the weight of steel."
The enhanced version is 10 times stronger than the standard version, with almost no increase in weight.
We are currently researching the third generation of chitinous shells, which will then meet the needs of biological warships.
"Very good. Although biological warships are weaker than traditional warships in terms of firepower, they are stronger than conventional warships in terms of both production speed and defense. With mature technology, we can quickly mass produce troops to deal with threats from outer space."
Seeing the remarkable achievements in biotechnology, Fang Heng explained why he has always persisted in biotechnology.
After learning about the threat a year from Ethan, Fang Heng had been considering how to quickly increase his strength.
Later, considering that some of the Umbrella Corporation's biotechnology was comparable to that of a level 0.9 civilization, he also thought of cultivating biological warships.
Unlike mechanical warships that require a space dock to build, biological warships only need to drop a single spore and wait for the harvest.
"Morning Star, concentrate all resources on biotechnology research and advance it to the level of a Type 1 civilization as much as possible."
"Yes, Commander."
"It is said that war is the best catalyst for technology, and the Earth today should be a very suitable testing ground."
"Yes, Commander. I have completed the relevant contingency plans. We are currently in the data collection phase. Once we have collected enough samples, we can begin cultivating the biological warships."
"Very good, go ahead and do it, Morning Star. I authorize you to proceed according to your plan."
"Yes, thank you, Commander."
Having received authorization from Fang Heng, Chenxing went all out.
As a large amount of energy was consumed, the operating speed of the biological supercomputer also began to increase. The small dogs that had originally rushed forward in a swarm began to form a new formation, spreading out to avoid being activated by heavy firepower.
Meanwhile, near the mother nest, the plasma worms had already finished charging up their energy.
As soon as the command was given, blue arcs of electricity appeared at the end of the plasma worm's round rear end, and then shot out rapidly as the end contracted.
"call out!"
"Splat!"
"Sizzle!"
As soon as the plasma ball landed in the ranks of robots, the plasma exploded, countless arcs of electricity flashed, engulfing a large number of robots.
