[ Special Tech Building: Shennong Creation Institute ]

[ Introduction: Acquire special technology through research and analysis of alien creatures. ]

[ Note: A special research building that cannot be upgraded; all upgrade paths can only be acquired through drops. ]

Opening the Creation Institute panel, there are currently two main branches.

One is the research on alien creatures that comes with the Xeno Experiment Station.

Under this main branch, there are almost countless branches waiting to be unlocked.

Su Yang has currently only unlocked one: Tyranid Swarm research.

It is reasonable to speculate that the other branches waiting to be unlocked are various types of Xenomorphs from other regions.

In this view, killing Xenomorphs after going to other regions might also unlock related technologies in the Xeno Experiment Station.

Below the only currently available branch, there are three different paths.

Insect Swarm Intelligence, Bio-Armor, Symbiotic Weapons.

Judging by the literal meaning, the three should be categorized into technology, defense, and weapons, respectively.

Su Yang clicked on Insect Swarm Intelligence; there are currently two technologies that can be unlocked.

[ Technology: Network Vision Sharing ]

[ Your eyes are my eyes: Analyze the Insect Swarm's vision sharing and command capabilities, then learn and imitate this ability. ]

[ Function: Gain the vision of all subordinate units within a certain range and switch between them at will. ]

[ Prerequisite Technology: None (This is a mysterious phenomenon that defies scientific logic.) ]

[ Unlock Cost ]

[ Complete Insect Swarm Brain * 1 ]

[ command points: 10000 ]

[ Time: 1d ]

[ Technology: Biological Information Identification Technology ]

[ Peeling back your layers: Detailed research on the racial information, activity patterns, and social structure of the Tyranid Swarm, and systematically categorizing the Insect Swarm. ]

[ Function: Use bio-electric wave scanning on Tyranid Swarm units to obtain their type, Rank, social position, special mutations, affiliated swarm, etc. ]

[ Prerequisite Technology: Radar Technology (This is a very scientific technology.) ]

[ Unlock Cost ]

[ Complete Insect Swarm Brain * 1 ]

[ command points: 10000 ]

[ Time: 1d ]

It truly lives up to the rewards given by the ruins quest!

Su Yang could not suppress his excitement the moment he saw the first technology.

Vision Sharing!

On the battlefield, the importance of frontline information and vision to a commander is self-evident.

In war movies from his past life, scenes of soldiers dying to protect intercoms, phones, or cutting telephone lines were common.

This is because the most important thing on the battlefield is real-time information; only with this information can soldiers follow commands.

The reason battlefield information is important is also largely related to its difficulty in acquisition.

Even in modern warfare, commanders mostly can only obtain frontline information through intercoms or text messages.

At most, they might deploy drones to get some information from the sky; the methods of acquiring information are extremely limited.

And if he unlocks Vision Sharing, it would be equivalent to unlocking the most powerful commander cheat in this world.

No intercoms, no drones; relying solely on Vision Sharing, he can achieve the effect of commanding while being personally present on the front lines.

Everything the soldiers see, hear, and perceive can be transmitted to the commander.

This allows Su Yang to perfectly control the battlefield situation and gain unimaginable advantages.

While other lords are still shouting into pretentious wireless intercoms, Su Yang can already issue commands without delay or error.

And if he wants, he can even make his commands precise down to every single soldier!

More importantly, this is an exclusive characteristic of the Insect Swarm; even if other lords obtain a Xeno Experiment Station, they cannot get Vision Sharing.

An exclusive cheat—just thinking about it makes one feel excited.

The other technology is Biological Information Identification, which obtains detailed information about the Tyranid Swarm through scanning.

After unlocking it, even when encountering new units, Scouts can obtain detailed attributes through scanning.

Instead of just drawing a portrait as they do now.

Su Yang feels both technologies are very useful, but the second technology requires the prerequisite Radar Technology.

Radar Technology is currently not yet unlocked, so this technology must be temporarily shelved.

Moreover, there is only one Insect Swarm Brain in the territory now, so at most, only one can be unlocked.

Without too much hesitation, Su Yang directly invested 10,000 command points into the Vision Sharing research.

[ Consume Insect Swarm Brain * 1 ]

[ command points - 10000 ]

[ Biological Network Vision Sharing researching... ]

[ Required Time: 1d ]

A full ten thousand command points, the same amount consumed to summon General Li Xin.

This is the most expensive technology Su Yang has researched so far.

However, he believes its value far exceeds ten thousand command points.

As the scale of future wars grows larger and the battlefield situation becomes more complex, the benefits brought by this technology will become higher and higher.

The research takes one day, which is just enough to be completed before entering the hegemony tournament.

After finishing the Vision Sharing, Su Yang clicked on another branch, Bio-Armor.

This branch has one technology waiting to be unlocked, while another, Symbiotic Weapons, has not yet been unlocked.

He clicked to view the details.

[ Technology: Giant Insect Bone Armor ]

[ Iron-Headed Kid: Analyze and dismantle the head bones of the Burrowing Giant Insect, and utilize its excellent mechanical properties to modify the Imperial Armor. ]

[ Function: Dismantle Giant Insect bones to modify the soldiers' armor structures, increase armor defense, and improve resistance to explosive impacts and acidic corrosion. ]

[ Prerequisite Technology: Iron Smelting Technology (This is a very scientific technology.) ]

[ Unlock Cost: One piece of Giant Insect bone / per 10 modifications ]

[ command points: 500 command points / per modification ]

[ Time: 5 seconds ]

Giant Insect Bone Armor can further increase the soldiers' defense.

And unlike the upgrades for soldiers in the Imperial Armor Camp, this upgrade has no Rank restrictions.

After entering the hegemony tournament, the soldiers' Rank and equipment will be forcibly suppressed to the threat level of the arrival zone.

If entering a Rank 2 zone, then Rank 3 Armored Elite Soldiers and Crossbowmen will both be reduced to Rank 2, and iron armor/swords/crossbows will all revert to the Bronze Age.

But the Giant Insect Bone Armor has no Rank restrictions, so even if they revert to the Bronze Age, the Giant Insect Bone defense will still exist.

command points in a Rank 2 zone will definitely not be abundant, so to compete for the lord ranking, one must minimize battle losses and pursue high quality.

The Giant Insect Bone Armor can exactly compensate for the armor value loss when soldiers lose their iron armor and iron shields.

Moreover, it possesses both anti-explosion and anti-acid properties, so its defensive capabilities might even be better than iron armor.

There are two pieces of Giant Insect bone in the backpack, which can be used to upgrade 20 Armored Elite Soldiers.

With a flash of thought, Su Yang invested the command points...
