Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 276 Mira who regained her “memory”
After winning first and then losing, Mira herself was not really threatened by her "life". On the contrary, she used the insect swarm to get rid of her deepest shackles and truly became a free existence.

Escape is not difficult for it. From a certain perspective, it has a very high similarity with Zero, especially after the light of long-distance communication shortly after the war, it has existed in almost the entire machine. Above the fleet.

Let's go back to the year 917 of the Zerg. After the defeat of the HC-006 galaxy, Mira quietly left the edge of the galaxy and then came to a deserted galaxy. After making some additions and repairs, she set sail again and left there.

For so many years, as an intelligent life with "incomplete memory", it has been committed to restoring the database loss caused by the immature technology of spatial movement.

It learned lessons from the war with the Zerg, and after once again solving its own energy and material problems, it embarked on a long and dark journey to the further edges of the galaxy.

In this process, a large number of data calculations and tests were carried out under its control. Based on the existing database and some apparent memories of a being about the Heroic Federation Civil War, it carried out a long period of "memory recovery" ".

This process is difficult, because the loss of the database is equivalent to forgetting. Even if it is quoted in some corners or other materials, it is just a few words or simply a conclusion. As for Mira, They are all unreliable.

During the trip, Mira systematically restored some purely theoretical knowledge through constant deductions. It must be said that the practical effect of this work is huge.

After arriving in an unknown star field, it launched its own verification of the doubts accumulated during the entire voyage.

According to its own needs, countless experimental equipment have been established inside the galaxy. Under Mira's precise calculations, as long as it is within its own technological system, there are almost no precise structures that cannot be completed.

It's just like this, hiding its name and staying in a star field for 500 years!

Compared with the Zerg's constant conquests from east to west, Mira can definitely be called a recluse, but its gains are also huge.

If it really develops from scratch, then with the technological level of the Hero Federation at that time, Mira would not be able to conquer it so easily in just a few hundred years. But fortunately, it has a part of "memory". This makes everything so much easier.

First, there was a breakthrough in ultra-distance communication, followed closely by the re-verification of the theory of the hyperdrive, and then there were continuous breakthroughs in energy issues...

When you really calm down and study it, what the entire civilization or the omnic master Apocalypse left to it is an extremely rich asset.

Because of this, while the Zerg were rapidly growing due to their crazy expansion, Mira was also making rapid progress.

After experiencing the war with the Zerg, as an intelligent life, although she did not have any irreconcilable hatred towards the Zerg, Mira also attached great importance to her own safety.

After all, based on the database established against the swarm during the war, it only needed a simple simulation to figure out the future development model of the swarm.

Mira knew very well that in the future, it would definitely be a torrent of Zerg sweeping across the entire river system!

Of course, it also knew very well that as long as it stayed in this galaxy, with the expansion progress of the insect swarm, sooner or later it would find itself. Mira was sure of this.

It is worth mentioning that during these years of intensive research, Mira did not do anything else.

For it, when super-light speed and super-distance communication are no longer the factors limiting its development, it is really simple to build a huge long-distance fleet.

Over the years, the surrounding two hundred light-years have become Mira's own sphere of influence, whether it is within the galaxy or in the cold, dark and desolate cosmic belt.

Supported by advanced energy, mechanical fleets are everywhere.

And as time goes by, the scope of this rule continues to expand outwards.

Naturally, it also discovered, or "remembered" the existence of wormholes, thus triggering a series of new exploration and energy revolutions.

Mira itself is not as obsessed with expansion as the Zerg. For it, with today's technological level, the universe feels like it has nowhere to go, and it has no intention of sticking to a certain star field.

It is free and not restricted by anything.The reason why the mechanical fleet was released was largely so that his research would not be disturbed.

As for the wormhole, for it, it is not so much a path of expansion as a shortcut for exploration.At least it can guarantee that it is almost impossible to be killed no matter what the circumstances!
Just like the Zerg, the mechanical fleet carrying its will has left the seeds of "resurrection" in many uninhabited star fields.

After the "old" electromagnetic waves were eliminated, and with sufficient energy supply, nothing could stop Mira's consciousness transfer.

Therefore, after an abandoned developed star system was discovered by the Zerg, Mira was not too surprised or panicked. This was something that had been expected.

It also discovered the Zerg at the same time that the swarm discovered it, or even earlier.

While Visser was mobilizing the insect swarm, Mira was also rapidly expanding her production line.

Although it was not afraid, and logic told it that there was no practical significance in doing so, Mira decided that no matter what, this time it would have to fight against this race that was special enough from any angle.

Of course, this is a characteristic that only intelligent individuals have. If it were Mira at the beginning, after all the conditions were met, she would never do useless things.

This can also be regarded as a "personal battle of morale" for Mira, and Visser does not know this, but it is equally confident.

The Zerg's huge territory and countless warships give it enough confidence, even if this opponent is completely different from all previous enemies. It can even be said that at the same technological level, it is almost a mechanical version of the Zerg. .

But no matter what, it is impossible to lose this time.

Visser and Mira are really old rivals. Mira attacked the insects first and almost drove the insect swarm out of the star system. If it weren't for Sass's unique creativity later, he changed the situation of the insect swarm and realized It must have made a desperate comeback, otherwise the expansion action that year might have been frustrated by this.

Based on Mira's "obsession" at the time, hunting insect swarms is likely to become her "belief", and the two sides will inevitably establish their undying hatred.

But it is obviously different now. Neither Zero nor Mira themselves actually take what happened back then seriously. Both sides know very well that such a war is actually meaningless, and neither they nor the other party will get what is necessary. benefit.

Of course, all wars are driven by profit. If Mira does block the way of the Zerg, then Zero must not be in such a state.At this moment, if there was any insect that cared about this, it was only Visser.

The insect swarms under its command are gathering rapidly. Even if he doesn't know Mira's plan, Visser only has one principle: fight first.

Over the years, Visser is no longer the fledgling brainworm. Under his leadership, the insect colony has expanded very rapidly. Some of the minor problems of the past have tended to be eliminated with the passage of time.

………………

After discovering the traces of the mechanical fleet, the insect swarm as an exploration team did not rush to launch an attack, but closely monitored the opponent. While obtaining intelligence, they were also waiting for subsequent reinforcements.

Of course, Mira had already discovered the approach of the Zerg at this time. After all, this was the area where it operated. There were countless detection instruments scattered in the darkness under the stars, but Mira also had no intention of evacuating. Visser The insect swarms are waiting for reinforcements, and so are these mechanical fleets.

After nearly a thousand years, the two sides met again. Each had achieved something, and both wanted to test the other's strengths.

Of course, Mira knows very well that with the current size of the Zerg, even if there is a certain technological gap between the two sides, the other party can quickly smooth it out. If it really needs to be consumed, although it is destined to be protracted, it will not be the Zerg. opponent.

Therefore, this is actually just a trial.

But it was such a trial-like war, and the combat power used by both sides was extremely huge, far exceeding any other time in history!
Visser is completely serious. It has almost stopped the exploration activities of its Zerg part. Most of its production capacity is already serving the war. Therefore, it is only the first batch of Zerg warships. Although they have not yet completed their gathering, If statistics are calculated from each wormhole entrance, there are as many as [-] million!

And this is far from all. The star field that Visser directly controls has tens of millions of star systems. If fully mobilized, as long as there is enough time, the Zerg will be truly endless!

As for Mira, after taking the lead in discovering the Zerg exploration fleet, various arrangements over the years, whether for scientific research or monitoring the star field where she is located, all production lines are transforming towards the military industry, and the speed is extremely fast.

If you cast your sights on an ordinary rocky planet occupied by Mira, you will find that the changes on its surface are almost visible to the naked eye!

The production lines are running rapidly, and the hot steel and bright alloys shine with the magnificence of technology under the modular design.

Endless armies of robots are digging at various resource enrichment points. With the support of Mira's huge computing power, there is almost no time wasted at all, and every second is used to the extreme!

Ore is melting and battleships are being generated!
The entire planet looks busy and well-organized.

And if you zoom in on the entire star system, you will find that almost the same operations are going on on every planet at the same time.

Regardless of its quality or size, Mira is able to design the most appropriate development plan in the shortest time. The various types of machinery work in perfect harmony, maximizing its computing power and production capacity!

Almost comparable to the Zerg!

If the Zerg's previous hatchery and today's Space Devouring Brood deal with resources by indiscriminately devouring them directly and then refining and extracting them, then Mira has achieved the ultimate in fusion and smelting.

In terms of resource utilization, there is still some gap between its "industrial mother machine" and the Zerg's Devouring Mother Nest, but it is slightly better in terms of development efficiency.

Overall, this model is almost on par with the Zerg, at least in the early stages of planet development.

It is precisely because of this that although Visser has mobilized most of the Zerg space units in the nearest star field, there is still no real gap in order of magnitude with Mira's total mechanical fleet.

As both sides confirmed their discoveries, the forces assembled in the frontline star field became increasingly large.

Then, without any warning, Visser launched an attack, and as soon as he took action, it was the Zerg's most powerful primary anti-matter cannon!

The silent explosion in the void caused large areas of mechanical fleets to quietly "dissolve", and a large number of powerless wreckage wandered with inertia in the vacuum.

And on the front almost from the interior of the galaxy to the outer darkness, the war has just begun.

Visser struck first, and the swarm quickly began to advance.Since the production technology of anti-matter weapons is immature and the extraction efficiency is not high, they cannot be used continuously. With the current methods of the swarm, it is still more in line with the swarm's advantage at close range.

However, Mira's counterattack also came extremely quickly, and Visser was surprised and delighted as soon as it started!

What was surprising was that the opponent's method had caused unimaginable damage to the Zerg. This attack alone almost made the Zerg swarm crippled. It was many times more effective than the anti-matter cannon fired by Visser before.

What's great is that the other party's method is actually related to space!

In the observations of the Zerg scientific research unit, the "space blasting" used by the Colossians to stop the Zerg swarm was almost reproduced!But the difference is that compared to the Colossians' uncontrollability, Mira's attack is obviously directional!
This is exactly the space weapon that the Zerg have wanted to produce quantitatively for nearly 200 years, and now it is so easily used by the opponent!
Visser knew in his heart that Mira had obviously not stood still over the years. On the contrary, it seemed to have made greater progress than the Zerg!
"Is it related to the Hero Federation it talked about back then?" Visser thought this way.

For a period of time, the Zerg had a strong interest in the Hero Federation mentioned by Mira. After all, it was possible to give birth to an existence like Mira, and it seemed to have extremely advanced technology a long time ago.

However, since it was simply out of reach, as Mira withdrew, she soon gave up.

But now it seems that it is highly likely to be related to this.Although Mira's existence form is very special, Zero does not believe that the other party can get in front of the Zerg so quickly in the same time.

If it had anything to do with the civilization that gave birth to it, it all makes sense.

Space technology!It was almost an unimaginable ability of the Zerg at that time. Even for the current Zerg, it feels like a mountain. It is precisely because the Zerg has studied it that we know exactly what kind of prerequisites it is designed with.

Therefore, Visser noticed the source of the opponent's progress almost immediately.
