Chapter 188: The Great Dawn Planet
Within the Swarm Network, all genetic information belonging to Luo Wen, as well as the genes he has acquired, are stored. However, only the Brood Nest currently has the authority to remotely download this genetic data.
For example, when Luo Wen’s primary body absorbed the genes of atmospheric organisms on Genesis Planet A7B5, he uploaded the data to the Swarm Network. Immediately, the Yellow Moon Brood Nest, currently located on the far side of the Red Moon, could begin producing a new species based on the atmospheric organisms’ genetic template.
A long time ago, after Luo Wen’s primary body was vaporized by a falling meteor, he began researching how to grant the Brood Queens similar access.
Even though Luo Wen himself had become a “Swarm Overlord”, ensuring that as long as there were Swarm units left alive, he would not perish, losing his primary body along with a Brood Nest would severely compromise the Swarm’s ability to evolve rapidly. If this potential for evolution were lost, it would make the Swarm easier to destroy and reduce his own security.
Thus, if the Brood Queens could, like the Brood Nests, directly download the genetic library from the Swarm Network, then even if his primary body were destroyed, any one of the Brood Queens could recreate it. This would greatly enhance both the Swarm’s potential and his personal safety.
Unfortunately, Luo Wen failed to achieve this. Instead, he resorted to a forced “disconnect” workaround to marginally improve his security.
Moreover, granting Brood Queens the ability to directly download the genetic library would allow them to remotely update their genetic databases, similar to the Brood Nests.
Previously, this limitation was not a significant issue because the Swarm was confined to the Genesis Star System, where Luo Wen could personally link to update the Brood Queens’ genetic libraries.
Given the Swarm’s advancing navigation technologies and the static nature of genetic information over long periods, updating these libraries seemed trivial. Luo Wen’s primary body had little else to do, so updating them occasionally wasn’t a burden.
