Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 285 Discovery
This time, Mira resisted very resolutely. Although Zero was surprised, he did not pay too much attention to it. The number of insect swarms continued to gather here. With the display of the will of the insect nest, this place was like a tower in a vast ocean. Islands are generally conspicuous.

The area occupied by the insect swarm is the vast ocean, and the resistance area where Mira's mechanical fleet is located is the island!
Mira obviously does not place all its hopes on the Zerg. It is still continuing to study itself, hoping to relieve the status quo of its positioning before possible enemies appear.

But logic tells it that since thousands of self-retrievals cannot discover the other party's arrangement, then tens of millions of times will have no effect.

However, life is like this, Mira is just a little special, but since the birth of wisdom, it has also entered this category.

After getting rid of the limitations of logic on herself, Mira will always do things that are judged to be meaningless, but in fact, this is the common characteristic of life. It is so precise that there is no waste at all, only cold machines, and This kind of "useless work" is the unique "temperature" of life.

While allocating part of her computing power to deal with the insect swarm and constantly searching for herself, Mira was still doing another thing.

That is to say, they strive to improve themselves, increase their own computing power, improve the armed strength of the mechanical fleet, obtain technology beyond themselves from the warring Zerg, and find ways to apply it to themselves.

In the past, Mira had certainly done this, but it had never been so urgent.Its computing power is occupied by various research institutes, and although a relatively large proportion is actually allocated to the military, it has never reached such an extent as it does now!

That’s an occupancy rate of nearly 40.00%!It has almost put down all other redundant items and is trying to further arm itself!
This sense of urgency is reflected in the battle, that is, a large number of unproven experimental battleships are brought to the battlefield, and a variety of space battleships that have undergone simple demonstrations are placed in front of the insect swarm.

Most of them have not obtained any effective gains through transformation, and even their performance has been reduced to varying degrees. This is mainly because Mira is no longer willing to use more computing power to verify these experimental results. Compared with Rather than spending computing power, it is more willing to use resources to directly verify on the battlefield.

Of course, this matter also attracted Zero's attention. The Zerg did not have a deep understanding of Mira, but they had some understanding of each other for a long time. The warships controlled by this kind of intelligent life showed such behavior in the war. The state itself is very strange.

Their unified production line will never produce such a variety of "inferior products". Just as they have strong confidence in the Zerg's own biotechnology, Zero believes that under normal circumstances, Mira will never create such a structure.

Coupled with Mira's abnormal behavior this time, although we still don't know what happened specifically, what is certain is that something must have happened to Mira that he doesn't know about!
In other directions, the swarm is still expanding. Of course, the battle line between the zerg and Mira is also lengthening, and the intensity of the war continues to rise.

As long as the two sides meet, they will start a battle. At this moment, Mira has used her computing power to an unprecedented extent.

Over the years, it has always retained more than 20.00% of its computing power redundancy to deal with emergencies. However, after the war with the Zerg, the core "brain" in its "body" once reached a computing rate of 80.00% five, and as the swarm continues to open new fronts, this number is still rising slowly.

It is trying to continue optimizing its "body", and is also rapidly advancing the new design of its mechanical warships through frontline battles.

As for more Zerg-specific technologies, it is also doing its best to learn and study. This is difficult, but for Mira, if there is no emotion at all, this is just a batch of unknown quantities that cannot be broken through. Just because there is insufficient information, as long as there is enough information, everything will fall into place.

In the fierce battle with the insect swarm, as Mira acquired more and more structures related to the insect swarm, many things became clear little by little. Although there was still a long way to go to achieve a true technological breakthrough, compared with ordinary times, In terms of step-by-step calculation research, this speed can be said to be extremely fast.

It is not all without gain for the Zerg. In line with the idea of ​​not wasting resources, the Zerg also has targeted needs for Mira's battleships.

It has to be said that Mira is indeed a profound researcher in lean materials. Even if some elite Zerg have powerful and stable biological armor as contact weapons for defense, it does not change the Cerebrates' view of Mira. Evaluation of battleship material technology.

The Zerg's advantage lies in the biological modification of materials, while Mira is purely armored alloy.Its smelting technology is undoubtedly far superior to that of the Zerg. During the war, the Cerebrates also established a "battlefield laboratory" on the front line to research and analyze the harvest on the battlefield.

Judging from Mira's attitude, the war here will never end in a short time, and the continued advancement of the insect swarm later also verified this.

Mira's mechanical fleet is resisting and defending against the Zerg in all directions. In some directions, it can even overwhelm the Zerg swarm to attack. At the same time, its mechanical fleet is also expanding, like the Zerg, moving to more distant places. Moving forward, he made it clear that he wanted to compete with the insect swarm here.

This is very unusual!
Zero was a little thoughtful, but without any information he could not draw any valid conclusions. He believed that all premeditated actions had a purpose. Since Mira did this, he didn't mind seeing this intelligent life wasting time here. and computing power, what exactly do you want to do.

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

As the Imperial Marshal, Feli carried too many responsibilities, especially during this special period. He was personally responsible for the search activities within the entire galaxy, but he did not obtain valuable gains for a long time.

The status of marshal gave him a distinguished status, but at this moment, it not only represented military achievements and glory, but also a heavy responsibility.

Within the empire, people died every day due to the "curse", including many high-ranking officials. Even among the fleets he now commanded, some were executed for this.

Including himself, it can be said that the entire empire is now shrouded in such a crisis.If it weren't for the special structure of the empire, its strong internal control, and the quick measures it took after the incident, I'm afraid chaos would have broken out!

If the same encounter happened in the Hero Federation, their many vassals would have been in chaos by now!
But even so, it is impossible for Vege to tolerate such a threat for a long time. This is a huge blow to the stability of the empire, and as time goes by, this instability will become more and more intense until one day it breaks through a certain threshold. The entire empire may be in danger of falling apart!

Feli has been very worried recently. The pressure from the top of the empire has made him very upset. But at the same time, he also knows that as time goes by, things have not made progress. The entire civilization is under terrible pressure. He must do something as soon as possible. To find a breakthrough, you must at least find some clues.

The investigators of the Hero Federation seem to have discovered something recently, and have mobilized a large number of combat forces to enter the space jump. They will also be accompanied by a group of imperial elites. They will participate in it and confirm that this matter has nothing to do with their own investigation. .

Feli didn't actually pay much attention to this accidental discovery. He knew very well that the crisis in the empire was basically impossible to be caused by this intelligent life that he had never met. On the contrary, he was very interested in the reaction of the Hero Federation. , if it were normal times, as one of the military commanders, he would definitely participate in it to find flaws in the federation. It would be best to give these "gentlemen" who talk about freedom and equality a hard blow in secret.

But now, he doesn't have the energy to investigate, and the empire doesn't have the energy to proactively provoke the powerful Hero Federation.This galaxy once belonged to a local civilization that called itself "Dia". Before the empire started colonial activities here, it took a lot of effort to complete a relatively thorough "racial purification" activity. Since then, From then on, this place became the new frontier of the empire.

The reason why after the incident happened and became increasingly uncontrollable, Veggie's first reaction was to conduct a thorough search in this star field, hoping to find any clues. It was because of this "curse" that it was precisely at the time of the empire's demise. Aboriginal civilization appeared not long after!

Although there is no direct evidence, the Veggies have reason to suspect that this matter is closely related to the basically extinct "Diya".

Regrettably, the empire's loyal marines, the well-equipped army urgently transferred from the mainland, and even the Guards Corps representing His Majesty the Emperor, with the support of countless manpower and material resources, almost destroyed this homeland of local civilization. After turning it over, nothing valuable was found.

In the empire itself, information about the history, technology, culture, etc. of the "Dia" race has been studied by countless imperial elites for 12 years. During this period, millions of imperial citizens died, but no real dispatch was ever obtained. Useful conclusion.

It's as if the empire's experience has nothing to do with this race!
Is this possible?Of course!
From the very beginning, the Veggies had included the Korva Empire as a target of suspicion. After all, this method was too similar to Korva's style.

After the incident happened, Korva also kindly sent a scientific research team to participate in joint research, but in the eyes of the Vegi people, this may of course be a cover-up!
It's just that Korva is not an inferior race. There is no evidence to confirm this, and Veggie has not really reached the point where he has resorted to all means. It is impossible for the Empire to fall out with Korva because of a little suspicion and speculation. They are both exploring the universe. If a war breaks out between the two, even if it is just a local conflict, it will cause unpredictable changes in the situation of the entire explored universe, and the consequences will most likely be catastrophic.

Feli understands his responsibility, but there seems to be nothing he can do about it.

The soldiers of the Empire have tried their best to search among the tatters and ruins, but to no avail.

——Until a seemingly irrelevant suggestion came to his desk.

In order to achieve his goal, Feli once expressed his importance to various suggestions throughout the army.

At this time, no matter what kind of conjecture it is, even if it is just a whim of a federal soldier, as long as it is feasible and will not damage the existing results, the empire will not be stingy in realizing it.

Over the years, Feli received a lot of "wonderful ideas" as a result, most of which were almost immediately implemented in plans formulated by staff groups at all levels from the bottom up at the speed of light. , Feili naturally gave the green light to this.

And those ideas that have not been implemented are either some concepts that cannot be quantified, or they are simply a wild idea.

It can be said that in order to find even a trace of clues, Feli has gone to the extreme.In the end, there were fewer and fewer such suggestions, and eventually they faded as time passed and personnel within the military became infected by the "curse."

At this moment, what was in front of Feli was a piece of advice from a second lieutenant officer of the Imperial Marine Corps.

His name is Flynn. As a junior officer, he is just a small role in the Empire's huge Marine Corps. In the past, for him, the Empire Marshal was someone he would never dare to have contact with in his life. He is a truly aloof military boss.

But at this moment, his information, his information, and the suggestions he provided are all being read personally by Feli, the veritable Marshal of the Empire!

Because he was an officer, and no reliable or unreliable proposals had been made recently, his ideas appeared directly on the desk of Marshal Feli.

Moreover, Flynn's conjecture is not unfounded. Compared with the unnecessary guesses and baseless conjectures at the beginning, his suggestions can be said to be clearly demonstrated.

In the former territory of "Dia", there was a living planet, which was considered one of Dia's colonial planets.

Within Dia's sphere of influence, there are many such natural or modified life planets. After all, although Dia can only be regarded as third-rate to the Vege Empire, they were once in this star field, but it is real. The overlord!

And this second lieutenant officer made some discoveries on this planet. There is no evidence, but it is indeed somewhat suspicious.

Just 26 Oridays ago, during the still aimless search, the armor of a soldier in the team he commanded was suddenly damaged while advancing.

This is actually normal. After all, the planet's surface environment is complex. Even though the equipment of the imperial military has always been known for its stability and reliability, it is not absolutely high-quality.

Even if the chance is very small, such a mecha malfunction may happen at any time, especially if it has not been maintained for a long time. This is not worthy of attention.But Flynn was keenly aware of something strange.

Because at a certain moment, on the information panel built into the armor, a certain data seemed to have a sudden abnormality for a short time!

If the mecha malfunction had not occurred, even if Flynn noticed the change, he would probably have ignored it subconsciously. After all, when advancing, the information displayed on the individual armor panel was very large, especially in this situation due to Under the depressing atmosphere brought by the "curse" and the low mood of having achieved nothing for a long time, it is normal for small changes to be ignored.

But coincidentally, the rapid change of a certain data and the damage of the comrade's armor happened at the same time!
As an officer, even a low-level officer, Flynn was a serious top student from many military academies in the empire. If this matter did not really attract his attention, then it would most likely just pass by.

And once the association was made, that momentary change was inevitably captured tightly in his mind!
He quickly determined one thing, that is, at that moment, the data that jumped rapidly on the panel and then immediately returned to its original state represented——

Planetary magnetic field!
