Chapter 3230 After the Transfer

It is slowly breaking down everything in this world.

'It' is the metal microorganism.

These metallic microorganisms are the creatures disguised as giant Ershi people, and have been... deceiving the leaf-cutter ants into thinking with them.

Finally, it transferred the leaf-cutter ant's entire consciousness to itself.

That is to say, leaf-cutter ants have now discovered that their consciousness can control these metal microorganisms.

However, it is not clear whether this is the "transfer" of the leafcutter ants' consciousness, or whether these metal microorganisms have copied the leafcutter ants' consciousness onto themselves.

Although generally speaking there is no difference.

In short, the whole process took a relatively long time, during which time the metal microorganisms almost completely decomposed all species in the world.

Whether it is large organisms or microorganisms, they are almost all decomposed.

The metal microorganisms also set their next goal, which is to decompose the other two organisms on the world.

In fact, the action of the metal microorganism is... as long as the piece of meat completes the tumbler of a galaxy bus, it will decompose everything on the tumbler.

Turn it into a world full of metallic microbes.

Since the flesh masses don't appear to protect these worlds, the metal microbes' actions could easily succeed.

If this continues, even if the meat block completes the plan of the galaxy bus... then all the buses in this galaxy will only have one species, the metal microorganisms.

So the leafcutter ants began trying to stop it.

At this time, the metal microorganisms were ready to invade the other two worlds, and the leaf-cutter ants tried to forcibly control the metal organisms and stop their activities.

Surprisingly, this behavior of leafcutter ants is very... effective.

It found that it could easily control each individual metal microorganism, and at the same time, as it controlled them, the original consciousness of the metal microorganisms became smaller and smaller.

In the end it almost disappeared.

So, the actions of the metal microorganisms... were stopped by leaf-cutter ants.

After that, the leaf-cutter ants confined the metal microorganisms to this world and prevented them from "harming" other places.

However, the leaf-cutter ants also discovered that these metal microorganisms are not completely under their control.

Sometimes they do things on their own, such as making and synthesizing some things.

Or 'concealed perception'.

That is to say, sometimes they clearly touch some objects, but the leaf-cutter ants cannot feel it.

Leaf-cutter ants must use their consciousness to directly detect these objects in order to discover them.

This is similar to an Ershi people who has no feeling when its skin touches something, but when it looks at the skin that touched the object, the skin can feel it again.

These phenomena make leaf-cutter ants think that the metal microorganisms may still have consciousness, even though they cannot feel it.

And it doesn't know why the original consciousness of the metal microorganism disappeared so easily.

All these suspicious phenomena make leaf-cutter ants pay close attention to the behavior of each individual metal microorganism.

Under close observation, the leaf-cutter ants discovered that although these metal microorganisms have some behaviors of their own, they are generally... very well-behaved.

They don't make any big moves and will immediately follow any ideas of the leafcutter ants.

After a while, the leaf-cutter ants also became... a little more reassured about them.

What happened next was what Lin knew... a group of ape creatures from the void came here.

The leafcutter ant noticed the apes, but it ignored them.

Later, the metal microorganisms decomposed the apes, and the leaf-cutter ants didn't care.

However, there was one thing that the leaf-cutter ants were very concerned about, and that was those...rats.

Rats have been developing in this world for some time, and the leaf-cutter ants have never noticed them.

Later, these mice took the initiative to run to the location where the leaf-cutter ants were conscious, and the leaf-cutter ants discovered them.

The consciousness of leaf-cutter ants is not located in all individuals of the metal microorganisms, but only in a part of them.

But leaf-cutter ants can issue commands to all metal microorganisms and also receive intelligence from all metal microorganisms.

For example, they will report various things such as the environment around them to the leaf-cutter ants' consciousness.

But this time, the leafcutter ants discovered that these metal microorganisms had been hiding things from them.

It did not report any information about the rats, neither their buildings nor the rats themselves, to the leafcutter ant consciousness.

Therefore, when the mice directly come into contact with the part where the leaf-cutter ants' consciousness is located, they discover that there is a group of mice here.

The leaf-cutter ant was very confused at the time. It noticed that the rats had lived here for such a long time and had made considerable progress here.

The leaf-cutter ants thought that the metal microorganisms had been hiding their presence from the rodents for some purpose.

So he immediately tried to order the rats to be...decomposed.

The metal microorganisms killed the rats without any hesitation.

This made the leaf-cutter ant feel very strange. It continued to check carefully many times and found that the mice were indeed dead.

If it could be solved so easily, why was it kept secret for so long?

Under research, leaf-cutter ants discovered that these behaviors of metal microorganisms may be...random.

They did not intentionally hide their presence from the mice; they may just happen not to report this information to the leaf-cutter ants.

Leafcutter ants soon confirmed that this was indeed the case, and that these metal microorganisms would occasionally fail to report some information about their surroundings to them.

However, if the leaf-cutter ants directly order them to report, they will still report very clearly.

After learning this, the leafcutter ants...didn't know what to do.

It seemed like it had nothing to do. In order to prevent the metal microorganisms from "invading" other worlds, it needed to keep them trapped here, which also prevented it from leaving this world.

Later, the leafcutter ants decided to continue doing what they had been doing before.

Just continue to use your mind to influence the piece of meat and try to make it assemble the remaining tumblers of the Galaxy Bus.

Although this tumbler has been completely decomposed by the metal microorganisms, if other tumblers are completed...

Maybe the Galaxy Bus can still be done.

It doesn't know whether it can be completed, but the computing system that can sense the piece of meat is still there, so the leaf-cutter ant tries... to continue to use it to make the piece of meat think.

Finally...that is now.

Meat has assembled all the tumblers.

The entire galaxy bus is also about to be completed.

The leafcutter ant was also very happy, and it wanted to see what it would look like when it was completed.

But it suddenly noticed a big problem.

None of this was actually accomplished.
