050 Leviathan

She has been in this state for several cycles.

Time is difficult to measure, perhaps longer than any number predicted. But this time it was different - she was not sleeping, nor was she resting, nor was she roaming aimlessly.

She embodied the feelings. It was like an invisible hand grabbing her swaying soul and pulling it out of her body little by little, making her float in panic and trance. She saw more than before and more difficult for her to understand than usual - perhaps the correct statement is "expression".

There are some similarities with the feeling that happened before, but this gave her the feeling of being inexplicably adding a game in the universe - and she was lucky enough to participate in the beginning of the game, watch the magnificent process, and even predict the final result of this game.

She still remembers her goal. She came here as well as for this... There was something around her that she wanted to catch but couldn't do.

Some kind of unrestrained energy...dark energy. She applied the words that the master understood, because for the Zerg master, science = instinct. She was able to use genetic technology to transform carriers, and even compile a brand new Zerg new unit - but she could not use vocabulary to describe the process.

Just as humans scream when stimulated by pain, but not absolutely able to understand the process of nerve reflexes, she knew it was something "thing".

It is undetectable, undiscoverable, but it is almost everywhere. It cannot describe its form, but it fills every place, much more than other visible matter in the universe. It is like a giant derived from the universe, with a vast "power" and even accelerates the expansion of the universe at all times.

Therefore, the Queen used the words Hu Yi knew to define it as "dark energy", but human knowledge was obviously insufficient. The dark energy she had learned for hundreds of years was at best just a fur, and some people even kept arguing about its definition, which was completely inferior to all she had realized in a short moment.

She actually couldn't understand these things, but she felt that the door she wanted to cross to continue to magnify and become clearer in front of her - the knowledge that flashed in her mind allowed her to overcome difficulties.

The Queen has unfolded her encoding of the Zerg's special carrier - the marshalling of life is becoming more and more like the nuclear synthesis that occurred in the early stages of the evolution of the Big Bang. From a subatomic particle to a combination of elemental molecules, from a single cell to a mutually associated living body structure, from the simplest to the most complex.

It took her a long time to wrap the energy she could feel slightly in a new Zerg carrier unit, limiting it to one area to move... Until later, the consciousness of the new creature was driving instinct to keep repeating the process, wrapping, evolution, expansion, wrapping...

The body of the mother insect burst out with a brilliant light, and all kinds of lights were colorful, but in a short moment, it gradually transformed into the most basic three primary colors. Then, perhaps it was the acceleration of frequency or it had restored its original appearance - black. Black replaced everything that had just burst out.

The mother insect's body made a slight spasm, and the queen opened her eyes that had been closed for a long time at that moment. Almost at the same time, the mother insect gave birth to a young dark creature. The queen walked to the creature and observed that it was still very weak and had a round body, without forming a fixed form.

But what is amazing is that its vitality is extremely surging, and even if it does not eat or drink for a long time, it can continue to grow.

In fact, it constantly absorbs and transforms dark energy in its body, not chemical energy that is necessary for organisms. When the queen picked it up, she could clearly feel this. She sat by the bed and thought about it and found that the development of the Zerg seemed to have embarked on a destined path.

As long as it is correct and beneficial... As the leader of the Zerg, the Queen will not refuse or reject it. On the contrary, she is eager to see more changes come.

For example, this strange creature in your arms that is hard to explain.

"What should I call you?" The queen gently stroked the young carrier with her fingers. She didn't remember this kind of unit.

She first thought that it was a unit of traveling in the universe and becoming a Zerg interstellar travel, and then used the naval arms that humans were accustomed to in Hu Yi's consciousness.

She decided to call it Leviathan - a kind of sea monster that symbolizes evil in the Hebrew Bible. Don’t humans like to call interstellar travel "sailing"? Let Leviathan be transformed into sea monsters, weaving nightmares on their necessary paths, in places he could not expect, and even in front of them.

"Leviathan..." She read the name lightly several times, with a look of satisfaction on her face, "From the future, you will be called 'Leviathan'!"

Leviathan's consciousness responded slightly, and after that, it grew faster than the Queen's imagination - it took only one day to become larger than the behemoth that had been adult.

Moreover, the use of dark energy seems to be an instinct to it. This "vacuum force" allows this creature without wings to easily hang in the air.

As long as it develops to a certain extent, it is never difficult to fly freely in a vacuum. The effect of dark energy is beyond imagination. It makes Leviathan "expand" all the time, almost reaching the point where he closes his eyes for a few minutes and opens it again. He finds that Leviathan has become thicker again.

It is getting bigger and bigger, and the Zerg's palace is no longer enough to accommodate it - and it naturally floats above the palace, basking in the sun leisurely. The queen sometimes sits on it and looks down from a high altitude. The huge palace complex is now reduced to toys.

Moreover, as an air transport unit, Leviathan has an extremely spacious space in its bloated figure. Although it cannot achieve architectural elegance, and even some places are completely exposed with beating muscles and some uneven holes, for Zergs, its epidermis can perform photosynthesis, and its complex inner wall can absorb carbon dioxide like plants, and then produce oxygen after a series of chemical reactions.

In this way, Leviathan does not have to worry that the carrier in its body will suffocate due to lack of oxygen when moving in a vacuum. Moreover, a layer of substance similar to a bacterial blanket can grow on the "ground", and its function is self-evident - providing Zerg with a continuous stream of biological energy.

It does not consume biological energy, so the converted energy will be completely retained and provided to various carrier units of the Zerg.

If it can continue to develop, it will definitely become a solid sky fortress.

The only thing that made the Queen feel that it lacked is that it did not have artificial gravity facilities like human spacecraft, so it could not generate gravity. Once Leviathan entered space, the carrier could only live in a weightless environment. But gravity was of little significance to the Zerg... In fact, if the masters wanted to experience free space travel, they could completely transform into Leviathan. The so-called "spaceship gravity" completely lost its meaning in front of the masters.

Although Leviathan grew astonishingly fast, it took almost thirty days from childhood to adulthood. During this period, the queen did not wait aimlessly. She used the familiar process to continue to let the other three female insects give birth to three Leviathans respectively.

A total of four Zerg Air Force units continued to grow during this period.

Until the first month later, the first Leviathan had become a giant that was as large as 1,500 meters long, more than 100 meters wide and nearly 100 meters high.

It flew over the head of the palace, and its body covering the sky cast a long shadow on the ground. Its back was successfully grown from layers of hard and strong hard shells based on the genes of the behemoth transplanted by the queen, showing a strange black shiny in the sunlight.

Its tail becomes flat and long, and the body covered with thick spikes is covered with thick spikes, but this is just a defense method. The main thing that can attack is the three claw-like contraction knuckles at the front of the body. In the middle of the body behind the knuckles, there are three tentacles that are almost as long as the body are distributed on the left and right sides. The tips of the tentacles are kept as sharp as the alien tail. They are usually used for self-defense or attack, but close-range weapons are generally not very effective.

The queen also thought about this carefully. She originally wanted Leviathan to evolve several biological lasers similar to laser worms on her body for long-range attacks, but due to Leviathan's complexity, it does not absorb biochemical energy, so this problem is still unsolvable.

She doesn't need to get into the brink of things that cannot be solved. She even conquered the problem of vacuum creatures. She doesn't have to worry about not being able to find a suitable weapon. What she cares most about now is the ability to travel interstellarly. As we all know, even if the speed of Leviathan can reach sub-light speed, it will be difficult for it to cross from one galaxy to another. If it is a warp speed taken by humans, it will make the queen confused.

A natural instinct came from Leviathan's consciousness, and even a little proud. When the queen created it, it naturally knew where it needed to use itself the most and how to use it.

The queen brought a group of Zerg carriers. In case of precaution, she even brought a female insect. Once an accident occurs, the Zerg will have a chance to start again.

Leviathan flew over a forest calmly, and through the dark energy it absorbed, it began to transform into a special part of the body, gradually giving birth to a "green matter" and continuously stored it. The distance the queen needs it to reach is near the seventh track.

The distance is hundreds of millions of kilometers, but it is the shortest unit in terms of interstellar travel.

The green substance in Leviathan's body was not generated too quickly. After more than five minutes of preparation, Leviathan's tense body completely relaxed.

Store enough green matter to be transported to the abdominal area of ​​the body for rapid transformation, which is completely converted into some incomprehensible energy when released from the abdomen.

It is this green energy that opens up the wormhole and balances the gravitational field unevenness caused by the appearance of wormholes around it, avoiding excessive tension caused by blindly approaching the wormhole, and preventing the huge tension of the natural wormhole from stretching all objects and tearing them into pieces.

The wormhole made by Leviathan is extremely gentle. The Queen only felt a little slight pull when it passed through the wormhole. If it were a natural wormhole, let alone the current wormhole with a diameter of less than a thousand meters, even if it passed through a wormhole with a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers, she would face the consequences of being torn to pieces.

It is very safe and fast. The two points in the distant space seem to be folded, and they cross an extremely exaggerated distance in an instant.

Leviathan appears near the seventh orbit of the galaxy.

The queen became Leviathan. She tried her best to expand her perception, and she felt an indescribable comfort all over her body. An invisible energy was constantly absorbed by it, part of which was transformed in the body, and the other part expanded its body. Although the growth rate was already very slow, it was indeed growing up.

Kernel synthesis: The process of element synthesis, using lightweight elements to create all other elements.

Dark energy: Dark matter and dark energy are considered to occupy more than 90% of the total matter of the universe, which is a major challenge in physics. These definitions are not discussed here. In this book, dark energy is defined as a vacuum energy (I abandoned the outdated "ether"), that is, to add a "vacuum force" to the four known basic forces, gravity, electromagnetic force, strong force and weak force, forming the five basic forces of the universe.

The use of vacuum force explains why Leviathan can fly in space (it is not a matter of course that it can fly in space with a few wings). According to the current theory of dark energy expansion, dark energy is constantly accelerating the expansion of the universe, and this ability is applied to living things in the article. (This has made me think about it for a long time, maybe the definition is wrong, maybe it is just me talking bored nonsense).

Wormhole: Einstein-Rosen Bridge, a Schwarzish solution besides black holes and white holes. As far as I know, the current general view is that negative energy maintains the opening of artificial wormholes and balances the huge gravitational field around it, but this article does not cite this concept (pure personal problem). Therefore, I have to create a new definition of "green matter". As for why it is called... there is no reason. Leviathan gives birth to green matter, and green energy maintains the opening of wormholes, balances the uneven gravity around it, making it safe to cross the wormhole.

OK, it's these torture brain cells... In fact, I've already thought about the vacuum energy above, wormholes and the like. What I stayed up late to see was antimatter. I wandered repeatedly in the mirror world. The charged particles shot out from the sea of ​​negative energy... There was no result... There was no speech, I asked for comfort.

In fact, the original form of Leviathan has nothing to do with the interstellar. It is the evil robot harvester in the mass effect, or rather, they are the creators of the harvester - Leviathan.
