Forbidden Zone

Although it was only a slight change, the trajectory of the change was still very obvious to artificial intelligence when compared with big data. The ultra-fast computing speed even allowed them to quickly obtain a quantitative value.

Once anything is quantified, the changes become instantly much more intuitive. Perhaps it's Saide and his friends themselves, or even the various versions of "Fire's" game, who might find it exhilarating.

However, Rowan wasn't worried that they would follow the clues and discover something. As he gradually learned about the other party's strengths and weaknesses, he had more and more options.

Rowan was certain that, apart from the very first few Nano-robot that mimicked the host's genetic shell, all the later ones were entirely new.

This means that without prior data for comparison, any changes that occur can only be categorized as new changes.

Moreover, these experimental data are difficult to replicate, because the honeymoon period between the Zerg and the Star Sea Alliance was actually not long. Although the number of Biological Armor sold seems large, it becomes very small when spread across tens of thousands of light-years of territory.

Each Biological Armor produced by the Zerg is numbered, making them essentially limited editions within the Star Sea Alliance. They are collected and used, and because of their serial numbers, any shortage of a large number of them would inevitably attract attention. Therefore, very few can actually be used for experimentation.

Given the scarcity of experimental materials, it's unlikely that failed cases would be validated unless absolutely necessary. Moreover, Rowan can currently locate most of the Biological Armor and transmit the experimental results to them. If they were used in experiments, Saide and his team would obtain the same data and results as this experiment.

However, many Biological Armor are still out of contact, and their internal data has not been updated. If they were taken to a place not covered by the Swarm Network and experiments were conducted there, the results would certainly be different.

But that's alright. After getting two different results, Saide and his team will definitely conduct a third, fourth, or even more experiments, because they want to verify which of the two results is abnormal and wrong.

That's when things will get interesting. Most of the Biological Armor will have had their data updated, while a small Biological Armor won't. This will mean that neither set of experimental results will be isolated incidents; they will become the norm. Rowan can already imagine how much trouble and headaches Saide and his team will be racking their brains over this.

Regardless of Saide's surprise or how he responded and operated, Rowan, following the original plan, commanded the Fusion Tentacle to steadfastly advance along the spine composed of special Nano-robot toward the host's brainstem.

Time slipped by unnoticed, and the bionic shell of the Nano-robot continued to change and update. Perhaps due to the recent changes in the Fusion Tentacle, the update speed of the Nano-robot's bionic shell increased dramatically in a short period of time.

With their new "outer garments," they crowded around the Biological Armor and Fusion Tentacle, trying to catch their eye, merge with them, and gain a glimpse into the secrets of the Zerg.

The Biological Armor and Fusion Tentacle, on the other hand, displayed a cool and aloof demeanor, showing disdain for the "sycophants" surrounding them and not giving a second glance to any of them.

While Saide and the others were racking their brains over this, the Fusion Tentacle were already methodically advancing through the narrow gaps.

Suddenly, Rowan noticed that the area around the Fusion Tentacle began to shrink. As a master of biology, Rowan quickly realized the situation.

It seems the journey of the spine Fusion Tentacle is nearing its end, and a new adventure is about to begin.

Normally, the nerves in the neck area would be more constricted and denser due to the narrowing of the region, but Rowan found no nerve tissue there. Everything had been replaced by Nano-robot, which were sending electromagnetic waves and transmitting various signals to each other, thus replacing the original functions of the host organism's nerves.

Rowan was an expert in electromagnetism; his Biological Armor was perfectly capable of mutating into some related functions, giving the creatures or machines inside the Castle a surprise. But in Rowan's view, only a fool would do something so utterly useless, yet revealing one of his trump cards. Rowan didn't consider himself a fool, so he chose to keep everything as it was.

Rowan was not surprised by the scene inside the host's body; on the contrary, it was all within his expectations. It seemed that the true consciousness of this host might indeed be playing in the mud in the virtual space, while the one controlling everything outside was "Ying's" alternate account.

While this allowed Rowan to make further progress in understanding his enemy, it was not good news for Rowan.

Rowan possesses immense "charisma"; given the time and opportunity, Rowan can become a close friend to any creature, someone with whom he can share unspoken but profound knowledge.

However, mechanical units are immune to Rowan's "affinity," so Rowan prefers facing enemies like Saide to opponents like "Firefly."

However, he cannot decide who his opponent is. All he can do is to do his job as well as possible and leave no room for error.

The Fusion Tentacle continued upwards along the narrow path, and slowly, another type of Nano-robot appeared around them, with a fixed formation and a uniform biomimetic shell.

They are densely bonded together, leaving no passage and refusing entry to the Fusion Tentacle. In fact, by reaching this point, the Fusion Tentacle have already completed their mission.

Under normal circumstances, the fusion of Biological Armor will not touch the host's brain, at least not on the surface.

As one of the most important organs of a living organism, the brain carries the imprint of "who I am" and has always been regarded as a forbidden domain by intelligent life forms. Any act that touches the brain will be met with vigilance and resistance.

If the Swarm's Biological Armor were to touch this forbidden zone, it would certainly face unprecedented pressure, and the Zerg war might break out prematurely.

At that time, the Swarm was no match for the Star Sea Alliance. If war broke out, Rowan would be like a worm, mercilessly suppressed.

Therefore, whether out of a desire to bide his time or simply to avoid trouble, Rowan will not touch this forbidden zone and make himself a target of public criticism.

Fortunately, the technology of the Swarm, or rather Rowan's ability, transcends dimensions and is far beyond the comprehension of the Star Sea Alliance, the Epoch Clan, or even the Ying.
