If the Horn Bugs could possess intelligence and be further equipped with technology, they would indeed make excellent biological weapons. In some ways, their function would be similar to that of military drones, but they have the advantage in numbers and cost. Furthermore, they could carry out small-scale operations autonomously without their need for direction, completing reconnaissance tasks on their own.

The conceptual armament implanted in Lieyang was a prime example. However, the development in the genetic field was slow.
