Big Origin Star
The Swarm Network stores Rowan's own genetic information and all the genetic information he has acquired, but currently only the Mother Nest can remotely obtain authorization to download this genetic information.
For example, back in Origin A7B5, when Rowan himself went to absorb the genes of Atmospheric Creature and uploaded them to the Swarm Network, the Yellow Moon Mother Nest, located far away on the other side of the Red Moon, could immediately produce new units based on Atmospheric Creature templates.
Long ago, after Rowan Wen himself was vaporized by a meteorite, he began searching for a way to grant the Insect Empress the same authorization.
Although he himself has become a "Net-person," he will not die as long as the Swarm units are not wiped out.
However, if the Swarm loses its main body and then its Mother Nest, it will lose its potential for rapid evolution. Once Swarm loses this potential, it will be easier to wipe out, and its safety will be reduced.
Therefore, if the Insect Empress could download the gene pool directly from the Swarm Network, just like the Mother Nest, then any Insect Empress could reproduce the original Queen after its destruction. This would greatly preserve the Swarm's potential and significantly enhance its security.
Unfortunately, he failed and could only resort to the unorthodox method of forcibly "disconnecting" to slightly enhance his security.
Moreover, in addition to improving Swarm potential and security, the Insect Empress's ability to directly download the gene pool also allows her to remotely update her own gene pool information, just like the Mother Nest.
Previously, the Swarm was confined to the Origin Star System, and Rowan himself had to personally link to update the Insect Empress's gene pool, so the drawbacks weren't obvious. With the upgrade in Swarm travel technology, the gene pool information remaining largely unchanged for extended periods, and Rowan's own body having little to do, updating the Insect Empress's gene pool didn't seem like much of a hassle.
With the advent of biological transport ships, transporting the queen Insect Empress, who was only a dozen meters tall, was no longer a difficult task. Rowan's main body didn't even need to move; the Insect Empress would be delivered to him to regenerate.
However, as the Swarm's tentacles began to reach other star systems, this drawback became apparent. If it were only the Proxima Star System, it would be better, as Rowan, with a total of five main bodies and Mother Nest, could still update the gene pool for the Insect Empress as before.
However, the Swarm certainly won't stop there. In the future, when they conquer ten, twenty, or even more star systems, if the Swarm's travel technology doesn't advance, it could take tens of thousands of years to update the Insect Empress's gene pool.
Therefore, Rowan needs to put more effort into this area and find a way to authorize the Mother Nest to remotely download the gene bank as soon as possible.
At this point, the "Greeting Gift" is less than 300 million kilometers away from Big Origin Star, and it is expected to enter Big Origin Star's outer orbit in about six months.
At such close range, even if the observation instruments on the "Greeting Gift" are outdated, a lot of more detailed information can be seen.
The Big Origin Star has five satellites. Origin Satellite I and Origin Satellite III are roughly the same mass as the Yellow Moon, Origin Satellite II and Origin Satellite V are slightly smaller, and Origin Satellite IV is larger. No atmosphere or signs of biological activity have been detected on these satellites. On the Big Origin Star itself, due to its atmosphere, only five continents are visible; the rest is covered by oceans. It takes approximately 48 hours to rotate once on its axis and over 500 days to orbit the sun.
Based on this information, the "Visit" team has already arranged the flight path for the "Greeting Gift". In 162 days, the "Greeting Gift" will reach the orbit in front of the Big Origin Star, avoid five satellites, and then make formal contact with the Big Origin Star.
Time flew by, and soon 162 days had passed. The "Greeting Gift" was about to enter the atmosphere of the Big Origin Star. Behind it, two more Swarm Meteor were waiting to enter the Proxima Star System.
If the "Greeting Gift" lands successfully and encounters little resistance on the planet, the two Swarm Meteor following it will either seek a nearby celestial body to land on or wait in space for Rowan to arrive.
Conversely, if they encounter resistance on Big Origin Star, these two Swarm Meteor will adjust their course and come to their aid.
The Swarm now has extensive experience in rapid descent on planets. Especially on planets with atmospheres, the combined effect of the atmosphere and the braking system of the Swarm Meteor, along with their relatively slow speed, causes the meteorites' descent velocity to decrease quickly.
The landing target this time was chosen on Big Origin Star, the second largest landmass, which is closer to the insertion point of the Swarm Meteor, so there is no need to modify the course too much.
Furthermore, the propulsion system of the old version of the Swarm Meteor is not very powerful, so it's better to stick to the nearest and safest option.
Within the Swarm Network, a "Visit" group composed of tens of thousands of Intellect is on high alert. All the observation devices hidden on the Spore Sac are being monitored by dedicated personnel, who dare not relax their vigilance for a moment.
The surrounding airspace and the area around the landing site are key monitoring targets.
Fortunately, unlike when Origin the planet A7B5, we were not attacked from the sky this time. Although we did see some moving black dots in the far distance, which looked like some kind of bird.
This shows that the environment of Big Origin Star did indeed give rise to life, which is good news for Rowan and the Swarm. After all, although the Swarm have begun to independently develop some biotechnology, it would be beneficial to learn from existing templates.
And novel life forms from other galaxies would be excellent gains. Isn't this part of the purpose of the Swarm's expansion?
These birds did not approach during the Swarm Meteor's fall. Then, Rowan realized that even if they wanted to come closer, they would likely be powerless at this distance.
The Swarm has now conquered an entire star system and has begun to expand into other star systems. If we were to translate this into a civilization level, it would be at least at a medium level.
Rowan, as the will of the Swarm, is now focused on things like galaxies, celestial bodies, and interstellar travel, using speed units such as hundreds of millions of kilometers, tens of kilometers per second, and fractions of the speed of light.
He hadn't paid attention to the life on the planet for a long time, and now, suddenly seeing these primitive creatures and watching them fly so slowly—not even as fast as the Wind God had been—he was quite taken aback.
Looking at the unknown creatures over there, so weak yet daring to fly so brazenly through the air, Rowan was somewhat disappointed. Judging from this small glimpse, if the creatures on Big Origin Star were only this weak, they probably wouldn't bring him any surprises.
