Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 228 Technology Farm Project
After some planning, with the help of battleships and spaceships, Sass successfully sent the Zerg to many planets under the federal government like flowers blooming in all directions.

Sass did a good job of concealment. In order to achieve this goal, it designed and hatched a worm species that could survive under the epidermal tissue of Velvets and Fowlers without causing a violent reaction from the opponent's immune system.

However, the way to complete this "infection" is quite simple, and only needs to be touched.

For this reason, Sass had a big brain hole, and it even tried to use this as a basis to design a bug that could directly lurk in Velvet's body, and reach a long-term survival relationship with the other party like a parasite.

It's just that this requires a sufficient understanding of the bodies of these intelligent life forms, and this is something that today's Zerg lacks.

Sass proposed several highly feasible schemes to obtain the biological structure information of the opponent's individual, ranging from biological infection disguised as carrying germs to covert anatomy in the macro sense.

Zero didn't interfere with it. This was the first step for the Zerg to understand these creatures. Whether it used a milder method or some bold methods, as long as the goal could be achieved.

Therefore, on the Fowler planet, Sass launched a covert operation that took several months to target the intelligent creatures on the planet, such as the Velvets and the Fowlers, and mainly used inconspicuous infections form.

However, in the process, casualties were inevitably caused, and it quickly attracted some small-scale attention.

It's not that the identities of the objects chosen by Sass are so extraordinary. In fact, these dead intelligent races are just ordinary individuals, even those with relatively low status.

But in this era, the unnatural death of individuals has always received considerable attention.The advanced nature of medical security allows even individuals at the bottom to get quick medical treatment. Of course, this is not free.

SARS took it easy to cover up what it was doing, masquerading everything as an indigenous variant of the disease, doing it less frequently and on a wider scale before inducing a higher level of risk of exposure Slowly proceeding with his own research plan.

The sudden illness aroused some suspicion, but no one considered the Zerg. After all, they are still honestly staying in the laboratory, under strict containment and management, and continuously contributing value to the Federation's biotechnology. No biological spills have ever been detected.

In Zerg 1152, in the ninth colonial system of the Federation, the expansion of the space station has continued for 31 years. Due to the existence of energy veins, this is a strategic location for the Velvet Federation in the future. Even without large-scale immigration, it will inevitably be In a prosperous place, a large space station to accommodate spacecraft is a must.

Time passed day by day, and the degree of development and control of the Ninth Colonial Galaxy by the Velvets was slowly but firmly increasing, and at the edge of the galaxy, a Zerg creature that was very small compared to a macroscopic star quietly spread out. A long voyage of his own.

Its goal is another federal territory 4.4 light years away. After several years of preparation and collection, this life, which was only a microscopic insect species at the beginning, is now able to carry out the plan of interstellar travel!

It is unrealistic to stay here for development, and Zero has no intention of launching a war at this time. Therefore, it is the best choice to go to the ordinary galaxy where the Velvet people have weak control, even if it takes a relatively short period of time.

Zerg In 1154, the first bug in history came to their home planet through the researchers of the Velvet civilization, and then began to take root and develop.

Sass' research on the structure of Velvet's civilized race is still going on. For a long time, it has obtained a large amount of research data, and gradually intends to turn its previous brain hole into reality.

Hiding in the dark, implanting a "bomb" in all the Velvettes over a long period of time that would not attract attention but could threaten their lives at any time, this is a slightly crazy plan.

The opponent's medical technology is not a decoration, even if it can be done, once it is deployed on a large scale, it is almost inevitable to be discovered.

This is by no means a simple matter. Even with the cooperation of many cerebrates, Sass still needs long-term careful planning.

In this regard, zero noncommittal.

He actually has an even crazier idea, but it is very difficult to realize, and the source of the problem does not come from the Velvets, but the Zerg's own ability level may not meet the requirements for implementing this plan.

As early as when Sass proposed the latent plan, Zero thought of a deep memory, a fictional insect species that existed in fantasy, aimed at enemies that are temporarily difficult to reach, they can stealthily live in the opponent's body, control the host's body Life, further infiltrating the opponent's civilization, and preparing for the subsequent war.

If the Zerg could do this, it would undoubtedly perfectly satisfy Zero's expectations for the Velvets.

At least in a short period of time, he has no plans to go to war, and the opponent's technology makes him quite coveted. If he can penetrate in and get everything from the dark, it will undoubtedly be the best thing.

However, it is still difficult for brain worms to reach this level. After all, brain research needs to be based on a sufficient understanding of the other party, and even if the parasitism can be completed, controlling the other party's body is very difficult for ordinary It is also difficult for insect species.

It is true that if this method can really achieve the best outcome for the Zerg, the risk involved is still too high, especially under the premise that there is no cerebrate to directly obtain the information of the Velvets.

Therefore, Zero intends to ask Sass to conduct research on the Velvets as much as possible first, and slowly develop to this step. There is no rush for this kind of thing, after all, the time is still long, and Zero has enough patience to infiltrate such a huge civilization. , even decades or hundreds of years.

This time is nothing more than a few rounds of expansion of the main group of the insect swarm, which is nothing compared to the benefits that can be obtained.

....................................

When the Zerg macro-units appeared in the universe, determining their own position became an urgent matter.

And for this kind of thing, the swarm has a simple but absolutely effective way, which is to observe the stars.

By looking for familiar galaxies or stars in the night sky, you can confirm your relative position.

In 1165, the Zerg unit that arrived in the galaxy next to the Velvet people's ninth colony began this activity.

There is no huge fleet of the Velvet Federation stationed here, and there will not be any large-scale development projects in the short term. The only threats that exist are the outposts used to declare sovereignty in the inner galaxy and the occasional patrol fleet.

Sass didn't intend to immediately develop the Zerg biological fleet, which would greatly increase the probability of Zerg exposure, and it didn't make much sense.

Over the years, after preliminary research, Zero has been able to confirm that the warships of the Velvet Federation Fleet have many high-end protections including energy shield technology, and are not at the same level as Zerg warships in terms of attack or defense. Even with the large number of insect swarms, it is difficult to threaten them.

Zero's plan is to secretly set up a base here, collect resources, and wait for the opportunity.

Of course, it is also their task to confirm the relative position between here and the Zerg main group.

This didn't take much time for the Zerg scientific research unit, because the distance between the two sides was unexpectedly "close".

Zero originally thought that through such an incredible passage, the original bug might have come to a star field that was completely untouchable. For this reason, he even made preparations that the two sides could not find common characteristic galaxies in the field of vision.

However, after less than a month of observation, he discovered several fairly obvious nebulae and large stars in the field of vision of the Zerg scientific research unit.

That was observed by the Zerg decades ago!Although the nebulae and stars observed between the two sides are not at the same time due to the different distances, there is no doubt that they are the same celestial structure!

With many common positioning coordinates, Zero can easily figure out the relative positional relationship between the two parties!
The two swarms are still in the same river system!

It's just that the main body of the Zerg is located outside the middle of one of the four cantilevers, while the Velvet civilization is located in the outermost area of ​​the other cantilever!

The distance between the two sides, calculated from the Velvet home planet to the Zerg home planet Ori, is about 36000 light years!

Of course, this is not close. It will take more than 10 years to get there at the current speed of the Zerg!
But compared to previous expectations, it can be described as "close at hand."

Of course, it's impossible to provide support, that's not a distance that the Zerg at the current stage can easily cross, and neither can the Velvets who have initially mastered the technology of faster-than-light navigation.

Over the years, although no direct action has been taken, Zero already has a basic understanding of the technology used by the opponent.

The significance of determining the distance between the two sides is not to support, but to confirm the overall situation of the Zerg today.

...............................

For the Velvets, the Zerg had already successfully concealed themselves, as long as they didn't take the initiative to expose them, it would be difficult for the other party to notice.

Therefore, Zero's plan is to control them secretly, obtain their technology, and at the same time use the Velvets, a huge intelligent group, to provide scientific research assistance for the Zerg.

Over the past few hundred years, the technological progress of the Zerg race has been relatively slow. The next time they want to encounter a civilization as advanced as the Velvets, they don't know when they will have to wait.

The rarity of civilization has been learned before. The emergence of life in this universe can be described as a miracle of the creator. Every planet with life is as lucky as being loved by heaven and earth.

And a civilization that can develop to the level of the Velvets is absolutely commendable.Instead of launching a war with little profit and no guarantee of complete victory, taking advantage of the Zerg's secret advantage now, it is better to use it as a sustainable technological farm, steal the achievements of the other party's civilization, and if necessary, change the progress of the other party's civilization, It's okay to let them develop in the direction that Zero needs.

This puts higher demands on SARS. With the level of biotechnology it has mastered today, if it wants to reach the level proposed by Zero before, it needs more preparations.

For this reason, in the past ten years, it has secretly carried out a lot of unknown and hidden researches in the Velvet civilization, covering many planets, using long-term low-frequency wide-area casting nets to reduce the possibility of being detected by the other party.

Things always have to be done step by step. The first thing Sass did was to slowly release the Zerg units in the form of creatures that are common on the planet, especially the microscopic units. With an extremely cautious attitude, let these bugs become Velvets to survive. part of the environment.

Due to the characteristics of rapid reproduction and mutation of microorganisms, the Velvets are quite slow in penetrating in this area. In the past ten years, some researchers have indeed noticed these somewhat similar creatures that have never been seen before, but because they are almost invisible Harmful, so it has not attracted attention.

In this regard, Sass is very confident. In the past ten years, it has not only conducted research on the Velvet people, but also has a considerable understanding of the relationship between native organisms, especially microorganisms, and the Velvet people in all aspects. This serves as a basis for With basic targeted improvements, there is basically no risk of exposure.

This is actually quite normal, who would have thought that even these tiny beings at the micro level could obey the precise instructions at the macro level?

In the cognition of the Velvet people, the activities of life have their own laws. How have they ever seen creatures like Zerg?A Zerg unit deliberately controlled by Sass is still under research so far, and the secrets that are only exposed on the surface have shocked them, not to mention the most fundamental secrets of the Zerg. .

In this regard, the swarm controlled by Sass can beat them by several blocks.

Everything is developing in an orderly manner in the direction that Zero expects. If there is no accident, when the seventh brain worm of the Zerg race is born here, Zero's plan can be carried out to a whole new level.

The special ability of the brain worm will bring great help to this plan, and Zero has high hopes for it.

Zerg In 1170, research on Zerg was in the ascendant, and the expectation of the whole society to extend lifespan reached its peak after the first mature potion came out.

Although there are still certain side effects, they are insignificant compared to its efficacy, especially for those who are dying.

Citizens are enthusiastically looking forward to the future, and the shackles of longevity and immortality seem to have opened a gap. This scientific research achievement is also called the greatest discovery in the past 500 years!
In the same year, the Velvette Supreme Academy of Sciences made major achievements in the research of energy ore veins.

Through the study of the explosion of the three energy veins within the sphere of influence in the past many years, based on the data recorded in the past, they successfully drew the basic conclusion that the output of the mine veins is different-gravity changes!
The moment the channel opened, the abnormal change of gravity has always been a key research project of the Federation. The observation and research that have never stopped for thousands of years finally got a fundamental feedback at this moment.

Theoretically, as long as the opening of the channel is accurately predicted, the opening time of the channel can be extended by directional interference with the gravitational field. This may mean that stable exploration in it becomes possible, and the total output of energy crystals may increase. So change.

As a result, the research on gravity technology, which had been stagnant for a long time, was immediately put back on the agenda. How to stably change the gravitational field in a limited area became a mainstream research topic for quite a long time afterwards.

Two years later, the military issued an experiment announcement to the federal high-level. The latest biological armor has been verified and has excellent performance, and it will be installed in subsequent production.Of course, this item is a military secret, and the general public has no way of knowing it.

The good news comes one after another. It seems that since the emergence of the Zerg, the technological progress directly or indirectly brought about by them has given the entire civilization another wing to take off.

Zerg In 1179, another batch of Zerg units that entered the passage appeared in the real universe...

　Sorry for the poor condition...
