An Article About Equal Rights Infrastructure and Interstellar Zerg Fighting for Hegemony

This article is also known as the cold engineer transformed into a Zerg waste And the gender of the protagonist was clearly unknown but I was not allowed to choose. I could only choose "male". It was really strange. Cheng Che woke up and found that he had become the most useless male insect in the Zerg world. He originally just wanted to keep a low profile and save his life, but unexpectedly discovered that the technology tree of this world was ridiculously crooked. After casually repairing the core of the starship that the Zerg race has not been able to repair for thousands of years, the military boss knocked on the door overnight: "Sir, the military department needs insect talents like you!" His improved mental power cultivation method made the whole clan excited, and the reclusive ancient Zerg tribe was born one after another: "I will protect this cub." When Cheng Che stood helplessly at the pinnacle of technology, those Zerg who had looked down on him all knelt on the ground—— "You are the true future of the Zerg race!" The insect world is full of amazing beauties. Their beauties are diverse, some are like exquisite jewelry, and some are like elegant fairies. Here are some "good-looking" insects classified for you: 1. Elegant and agile (like flying flowers) This type of insects is represented by butterflies and moths, with graceful postures and artistic colors and patterns. 1. Morpho, the goddess of light: Known as "the most beautiful butterfly in the world". The wings shimmer with metallic sapphire blue and change with the angle of the light, like the sparkling waves on the blue sea, extremely gorgeous. 2. Rose Maple Leaf Moth: Looks like a watercolor painting. With soft pink, yellow and purple markings on its wings and a very cute furry body, it subverts people's traditional impression of moths. 3. Leopard-print butterfly: The back of the wings is bright orange-red with black leopard print, while the inside of the wings is exquisite black and white patterns, like a reversible work of art. 4. Long-tailed silkworm moths (including green-tailed silkworm moths, Luna moths, etc.): They have huge wings and elegant tail protrusions. Their body color is often soft light green or goose yellow, and they look like elves flying under the moonlight. They are extremely elegant. 2. Cute and cute types (like miniature cartoon characters) These insects are usually round and brightly colored, making them look "cute". 1. Ladybug: The classic representative of cuteness. The swollen red or yellow body is matched with symmetrical black dots, like crawling candies. Especially when they emerge from the pupa, their bright yellow bodies are very cute. 2. The "star" among caterpillars: · Cat caterpillars: They have long, soft "hairs" on their bodies, which look like a mini cat or a stuffed toy and feel like a soft toy (but the hairs of many caterpillars have a defensive effect, so please do not touch them at will). · Crystal Caterpillar (such as the larvae of the Butterfly): The body is as transparent as crystal, and the green digestive system inside can be seen, like a walking emerald or gummy candy, strange and cute. 3. Damselfly: A close relative of the dragonfly, but with a slimmer body and eyes like two sparkling gems. They hold their wings together on their backs when resting, and their posture is light and graceful when flying, making them very delicate. 3. Gorgeous jewelry (like natural carved gemstones) This type of insect has a hard carapace and a strong metallic or gem-like color. 1. Gidin beetles: the "jewels" of the insect world. The body is smooth and sparkles with dazzling metallic luster, commonly found in emerald green, sapphire blue, copper, etc., Which look like flowing colored metals in the sunlight. 2. Rainbow stag beetle: The heads and mandibles of certain species of male beetles are not only majestic, but also show brilliant rainbow colors under the light, combining strength and beauty. 3. Golden tortoise shell: Small in size, the back is as transparent as glass, with a gold or bronze frame inlaid on the edge, and a complex black pattern in the middle, like a miniature inlaid art jewelry. 4. Strange and Exquisite Category (Master of Art of Form and Mimicry) Their beauty comes from their incredible form and ability to mimic. 1. Orchid Mantis: The "Queen of Disguise" in the insect world. The nymph stage is a perfect pink-white or lilac color with petal-like limbs. When quietly sitting in an orchid, you can hardly distinguish it from a real flower. It is a combination of elegance and lethality. 2. Dead leaf butterfly: When its wings are closed, it looks exactly like a dead leaf. Even the leaf veins and mildew spots are lifelike. But when it spreads its wings and flies, the inner side may reveal bright blue and orange markings. The contrast is amazing. 3. Eye-spotted mantis: There are huge eye-shaped spots on its wings that look like owl eyes. They are used to deter natural enemies. They are both mysterious and full of design. 5. Other representatives of beauty · Dragonflies: Known as "air fighters", their compound eyes are like bright planets, their wings have network veins as precise as lace, and their bodies are often colored with bright blue, red or green colors. They are full of the beauty of power and agility when flying. · Bees (such as blue orchard bees): Not just yellow and black stripes. Some bees are covered with beautiful metallic blue-green hairs, which shine like velvet in the sun and are very charming. Observation tips: The beauty of insects requires our attention to discover. When observing in the wild, please try to minimize disturbance, do not capture them, and protect their living environment. Many beautiful photos of insects are shown under macro lenses. You can have a deeper appreciation of the shocking beauty of this microscopic world through natural photography. Not only are they the most successful group of animals on Earth, they are also masterpieces of natural art. Energy. Like an icy tide, overflowing every inch of perception. Or maybe it's the blood, thick and slow, pushing something heavy to circulate in the body. Cheng Che opened his eyes suddenly. What you see is not the familiar apartment ceiling, but a hazy arc-shaped wall that exudes a very faint blue light. He was immersed in a warm, strangely sweet liquid, but his mouth and nose did not have any suffocating feeling of being blocked by the liquid, as if the liquid itself was... Breathable. He moved his fingers, and an unprecedented feeling of weakness seized him, and it was extremely difficult to even lift his arms. His vision gradually became clearer, and he saw clearly the environment he was in - a huge "cabin" like biological tissue. The fleshy wall membrane pulsated slightly, and the faint blue light came from the silk threads embedded in the wall membrane, which looked like nerve veins. This is not Earth. It doesn't even look like a scene from any human science fiction movie. Chaotic memory fragments impacted his brain: working overtime until late at night, testing the stability threshold of the new energy core, the dazzling white light of the experimental bench, and then the boundless darkness... Time travel? Or some kind of extremely real nightmare? Before he could figure it out, the wall of flesh in front of him slid open silently, the warm liquid quickly receded, the force field supporting his body disappeared, and he fell softly onto the cold, horny floor. Cold. There is also a strong, omnipresent smell of strangeness. Several tall figures enveloped him. They wore close-fitting dark uniforms with a cold metallic glow, and their body contours were close to human beings. However, their overly broad shoulders, thin and powerful waists, and their pair of compound eyes that clearly belonged to arthropods and shone with a cold luster, all revealed their inhuman status. Zerg. This term came to Cheng Che's mind, accompanied by a cold shudder. One of the Zerg squatted down, and the cold metal instrument swept across Cheng Che's body, making a short beeping sound. "No. 734, Vital signs are stable, energy level..." The Zerg paused for a moment, and a trace of undisguised contempt seemed to flash through his compound eyes. "F level. Deteriorated body, no potential mental threat, judged as 'harmless'." His voice was hoarse, with a strange accent that sounded like metal friction, but Cheng Che strangely understood it. Class F? Deteriorated body? Harmless? Cheng Che pursed his lips and felt as if there was a piece of ice in his stomach. He was twenty-eight years old, the chief energy engineer of the Federation, and a leader at the forefront of human science and technology. When he arrived here, he became the lowest... Waste? Another Zerg handed over a rough, cloth-like object. "Put it on and come with us. The residence assigned to you has been prepared. Remember your identity as a degraded male. Staying safe is your only way out." The so-called residence is a small, almost completely enclosed cabin located deep underground. The four walls were made of cold, unadorned metal, with only a pale lamp overhead and an alcove that was constantly leaking colorless and odorless nutrient solution. There was an old smell in the air, like a mixture of engine oil and dust. This is more like a poorly equipped cell than a residence. Cheng Che sat against the cold wall and slowly put on the rough "clothes". The fabric rubbed against his skin, causing a slight tingling sensation. He closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down. Analysis of the current situation: First, he traveled through time and became a male insect with a low status in the Zerg society, known as a "degenerate body". Second, his life does not appear to be in danger at the moment, but he is in a worrying situation, being closely monitored and lacking resources. Third, and most importantly, there seems to be something wrong with the technology of this Zerg civilization. When he was brought here just now, he had a quick glimpse of some facilities. The energy circuit of the channel gate was extremely rough and the energy leakage was serious; the basic principle of the force field generator that maintained the stability of the environment was as crude as child's play in his eyes, and the efficiency was appallingly inefficient; even the weak basic energy flow that permeated the air was regulated in a way that was full of unnecessary losses and redundancies. A civilization capable of interstellar navigation has so many primitive and inefficient settings in terms of basic energy utilization and field control? It feels like seeing a group of people with nuclear fusion technology still using steam engines to boil water. His area of ​​expertise, here, seems to be the key to insight into the technical flaws of these "Zergs". The days passed in depression and silence. Cheng Che strictly followed the regulations, received the tasteless nutrient solution, moved within a restricted and narrow range, and behaved like a real, numb "degenerate body". The Zerg guards responsible for monitoring him gradually relaxed their vigilance. After all, what kind of trouble could a male insect with an energy level of only F and whose mental power was so weak that it was almost non-existent, cause? Until that day, the shrill siren tore through the dead silence of the underground space. The red warning light rotated crazily, illuminating the entire passage in blood red. The sounds of chaotic footsteps and the sharp neighing of the Zerg soldiers came from far to near. "The energy center in Area B-7 is overloaded! The main circulation pump has stalled!" "Quick! Manual restart failed! Backup energy cannot be accessed!" "The cooling system is failing! The core temperature continues to rise! There is a risk of meltdown!" In the chaos, the door of the cabin where Cheng Che was located was slammed open, and a more senior Zerg official wearing different uniforms rushed in, his compound eyes flashing with anxiety and a hint of imperceptible despair. Behind him were two armed soldiers. "You! Deteriorated body!" The official's voice became harsher because of the urgency, "I'm recruiting you now! The energy center of area B-7 is faulty and requires emergency manual intervention. Enter the core pipeline and manually pull the third and fourth circulation valves! Execute immediately!" This is not a discussion, this is an order. And it is an extremely dangerous, almost fatal order. The energy center is overloaded, and the radiation and high temperature in the core pipe are enough to kill a strong fighting Zerg in a short time, let alone a "deteriorated body" like him. Two soldiers stepped forward, roughly picked up Cheng Che and dragged him outside. Cheng Che didn't struggle, and even at that moment, his brain was running at high speed. The energy center of Area B-7... According to the fragmentary information he had secretly observed and heard these days, it should be an old "biological-mechanical" hybrid reactor, providing basic energy for this underground area. Overload... Manually pull the circulation valve... He was half dragged, half pulled close to the fault area. Hot air waves hit his face, and the air was filled with the smell of burning energy and the stench of burned biological tissue. Huge, heart-beating biological tissues and organs were exposed, their surfaces covered with ruptured pustules and burnt marks, and the mechanical structures connected to them flashed with unstable electric arcs. The Zerg soldiers and engineers were in a mess, trying to use various physical methods to force stability, but in vain. "Go in!" The official shouted to Cheng Che, pointing to the entrance of a pipe leading to the core that was constantly spewing high-temperature steam and leaking energy. Cheng Che's eyes crossed the entrance and landed on a neglected, dusty control panel nearby. That was an earlier direct logic control terminal. Due to technological iteration, it has been forgotten and abandoned by most Zerg species, but its underlying authority is still theoretically higher than the current biological neural link control system. "Wait." Cheng Che said, his voice a little hoarse from not speaking for a long time, but with a strange calmness. The soldier holding him and the official were stunned for a moment. "That console," Cheng Che raised his weak hand and pointed at the dusty panel, "Give me permission, and maybe I don't have to go in and die." The official's compound eyes were filled with disbelief and rage: "Deteriorated body! What nonsense are you talking about?! That is abandoned..." "The energy escape rate has exceeded the safety threshold of 17%, and the core temperature will reach the critical point in three minutes and twelve seconds." Cheng Che interrupted him, speaking slowly, but with an unquestionable accuracy. This was the result he calculated instantly based on the energy fluctuations and heat dissipation efficiency on site. "Forcibly entering the pipeline has a success rate of less than 5%, and will accelerate the core collapse. Let me try that console, which is the only possible chance to save it now." Time is running out, and every second is leading to destruction. The official looked at Cheng Che's eyes that were too calm to be like a "deteriorated body", and then glanced at the energy center that was constantly deteriorating and groaning under load. The urge to treat a dead horse as a living horse overcame rational doubts. "... Give him authority!" The official yelled at a technical bug next to him, his voice hoarse. The technical bug hurriedly cleaned the dust on the surface of the console and accessed the temporary permissions. Cheng Che was pushed to the console. The virtual light screen lit up, and a complex interface with a distinctive Zerg biotechnology style popped up, with dense energy flow curves and parameters constantly flashing alarms. The surrounding Zerg held their breaths as they watched this thin, male Zerg judged to be a "degenerate body" place his pale, slender, seemingly powerless fingers on the operating interface. Then the dizzying operation begins. His fingers were so fast that they brought up afterimages. They were not clicking randomly, but using an astonishing precision and efficiency to bring up deep menus one after another, inputting lines of obscure command codes, and quickly modifying the parameter settings of the energy circuit. He closed several auxiliary loops that were obviously redundant in design and would only aggravate energy accumulation at this moment, reset the distribution weight of the main energy flow, and even bypassed some burned biological nerve nodes, directly taking over part of the control through mechanical logic. His movements were smooth and fluid, without a trace of hesitation, as if he knew this strange and complex system well. The alarms and garbled codes that confused other Zerg engineers seemed to have turned into clear paths and solutions in his eyes. After a few minutes, the piercing overload alarm stopped abruptly. The crazy flashing red warning lights turned on one by one and stabilized into a soft blue. The disturbing violent pulsing and humming of the energy center gradually subsided, and the steady and low running sound returned. In the passage, the scorching air waves began to subside, leaving only some residual burnt smell. There was dead silence. All the Zerg present, from the soldiers to the engineers to the official who gave the order, stood frozen on the spot, their compound eyes staring at the thin figure in front of the console who slowly retracted his hand, as if they saw something incomprehensible and contrary to all common sense. An F-class degenerate male insect... Used an abandoned ancient console... To solve the serious malfunction that left all their insects helpless and almost caused a regional energy disaster in a few minutes? How is this possible? ! Cheng Che exhaled slightly, and his highly concentrated energy relaxed. A strong feeling of weakness came over him again, making him almost unsteady on his feet. He held the edge of the console, raised his eyes, and met the senior official's compound eyes that were so shocked that they were almost dull. The vocalizer in the official's throat seemed to be stuck. It took several seconds before a dry and distorted syllable came out: "... You..." His voice was filled with unprecedented complex emotions, mixed with horror, confusion, and a hint of awe. Cheng Che didn't answer, he just looked away and looked at the still pale lighting at the end of the passage. The plan of keeping a low profile to save lives seems to have officially declared bankruptcy from this moment on. Trouble, it seems, can't be avoided. Intention: If you don't occupy the position of public opinion, others will naturally occupy it.
