Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

291 Threat
Within the territory of the Federation, and even in the entire explored universe, 90.00% of the galaxies are barren.They are nominally governed by the Confederacy, but in fact there are not even Confederate troops stationed here.

It is said that the Federation is an advanced civilization, but in places where the light of these civilizations cannot reach, there is also darkness.

For a civilization like the Federation, which is composed of many races, it already takes a lot of energy to coordinate the conflicts between internal ethnic groups. Although under the pressure of the Heroes, the Federation as a whole presents a positive atmosphere. All races are headed by Hero, and together they form a nominally "equal" federation.

But it would be unrealistic to argue that all races in the Federation live in complete harmony.

Compared to Verge, the Federation has achieved success and failure in this regard. The alliance of many races has allowed the Federation to continue to enter the fast lane of development, but at the same time, these races have also been dragging the entire Federation. energy.

Although they are all composed of many civilizations, they are different from Korva. Korva assembles civilizations as vassals, similar to the relationship between the Zerg and the intelligent races under its command. Although they are much more humane, in fact the Korva people Has absolute authority.

But in the Hero Federation, at least in name, all races are equal. They even have their own legislative power, military, etc. They also have their own seats in the Federal Supreme Council and speak out on behalf of their own interests. .

Regardless of whether such a form makes sense in the end, it does in fact reflect the tolerance and freedom of the Hero Federation, which is indeed fundamentally different from Vege.

Of course, it was also because of this that they had never considered this form of expansion of the Zerg before.For the Federation, the universe is extremely vast, and there may still be a certain boundary, but no one will reach it in the foreseeable future.

It is not impossible to completely occupy every star system and turn it into resources for one's own development, but it is really meaningless.

There are so many stars in the universe!There are endless elements to be mined and there is not so much demand, so why waste time and effort to do it?
It can neither improve production efficiency nor fertility. It is just a pile of resources. In this universe, compared to a single civilization, such resources are almost endless.Except for a very few special minerals, the Federation has never been in shortage since entering the interstellar era.

However, right in front of their eyes, there is a race that is really doing this kind of thing. The hollowed-out asteroids visible to the naked eye, as well as the Zerg combat units that can be seen everywhere, are telling these federal elites , this race that had the most direct impact on the failure of federal activities in previous operations, what exactly does it look like!
Compared with them, the Federation is like a "miser", occupying countless resource-rich star systems, but most of them are not fully utilized.

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

Wells received a new task. While cooperating in monitoring Mira, he needed to lead his team to find out the true intelligence of the insect swarm. It would be best to collect some living bodies for research.

But at this moment, Wells couldn't care about this.The reason is simple. The energy reserve of the spacecraft no longer allows him to start another space jump.

Of course, there is still no problem with regular navigation. The Federation frigate is a member of the Federation Navy. Its performance is undoubtedly a true military standard. Even if it loses the ability to jump in space, it will not anchor. The hull itself carries Materials can sustain them.

But without the means of space jumping, it would be difficult for him to complete the mission simply by relying on conventional maneuvers.Because the insect swarm in front of us has quickly completed its assembly and is coming towards you!

Wells has no intention of taking the initiative to fight against the swarm. Now that the energy reserves are insufficient, he still needs to lead the fleet to complete the mission.So, with Zero paying attention, they quickly began to move away from the swarm.

In terms of maneuverability, the Zerg warships could not catch up with the opponent, so he did not force it. The opponent had mastered the space jumping technology, and it was very difficult to track it.Although it has been guessed that they may be short of energy at present, there is still no way for the other party to leave Zero.

The deep space of the universe is so vast, it is not easy to find the other party in this vast deep space.

In the previous battle, the opponent barely moved, which gave the insect swarm a chance to "focus their fire", but now Zero has even quickly lost track of the opponent!
This is the advantage from the technological level. If the opponent has sufficient energy, the Zerg really has no way to do what they want to do in this star field.

At this moment, Zero had some predictions in his mind, and they were quickly verified.

Just after the swarm fully developed the star system, the opponent appeared again, but compared to the previous joint operations, this time there was only one frigate.

The opponent took the initiative to launch an attack on the Zerg units at the edge of the galaxy, and achieved its goal before the Zerg completed its gathering, and left in a swaggering manner.

Zero noticed the weapon used by the opponent. If the Zerg's current application form of space weapons is a "cannon", then the opponent can be said to be a "knife".

In Zero's field of vision, it did not directly affect a large space and cause it to burst randomly. It was just like tearing a hole, giving a fatal blow to the Zerg unit in front of it at the most critical position.

All the defense methods of the insect swarm, including the hardest outer armor, the mature energy shield, etc., have no effect.

It accurately found the fatal points of the Zerg combat units and completed its mission with minimal energy consumption.

In the limited time, this frigate has taken away all useful materials, and at the same time, it also took away part of the body of the Zerg unit.

This must be used for research. In the past exploration history of the Zerg, many intelligent races will choose to do this after discovering the Zerg. Even the brainworms have used this behavior of the other party to reverse position many times, resulting in killings. I don’t know how many.

But only this time, this behavior of the other party cannot bring any benefits to Zero.Because even if the Zerg knew where these battleships were now, there was nothing they could do about it.

Unless the opponent brings the fully hatched Zerg units back to their home planet!

There is a high probability that this will not be achieved, and even if it can succeed, it will not be in the near future. What Zero is more concerned about is that now the opponent can easily obtain supplies in this way. Once it regains the ability to perform space jumps, ability, whether he will carry out the previous actions against Mira.

In addition, after discovering the existence of the Zerg, Zero was also considering how the other party's civilized subjects would react.

The potential of the Zerg is visible to the naked eye, and a large part of it is directly on the surface. Zero has never thought of hiding this, and there is no need.

In addition to its own existence and the increasing number of Cerebrates, most of the characteristics of the Zerg swarm are visible at a glance, and some conclusions can be easily drawn by studying the bodies of the Zerg units.With the Federation's technology, there's no reason why they can't do this.

So how will the Federation react in the end after knowing all this?

Let it go?Doesn't matter?Or intervene?Mira did not tell the Zerg Hero Federation any more specific information, but she thought that the other party should most likely be an intelligent civilization with a "hometown".

As long as they are not "mad dogs" wandering around like the predator civilization, the threat posed by the Zerg to them is visible to the naked eye!

Because if there are no restrictions, with the expansion momentum of the Zerg, sooner or later the Zerg swarm will come to their star field!

By then, will the two sides be able to live in peace?

For the Federation, which was the first to discover the Zerg, this is an issue that can be seen at a glance, but is indeed worth pondering.

At this moment, Wells and his frigates undoubtedly carry the original mission of the Zerg.

In the federal research ship, the accompanying researchers quickly completed the preliminary dissection of the Zerg body.

Thanks to the high level of science and technology, even if it is just a mobile research ship and not the top federal scientific research institution, it can reach the top level in terms of theoretical knowledge and hardware equipment.

A large part of this was originally prepared for Mira, but now it is applied to the Zerg.

This does not affect their conclusion that the relevant data has been transmitted back to the federal mainland in real time, and more professional personnel will analyze and judge it.

But no matter how many times they verified it, they all came to the same conclusion.

That is to say, this kind of creature does theoretically have the basis to ignore the cosmic environment and wreak havoc in the universe.

From the previous battles and subsequent observations, it can be clearly found that these bugs have close cooperation and division of labor with each other, and they are no worse than intelligent races!
They are neat and organized and extremely efficient!

But the strange thing is that from the body structure of these bugs, it is impossible to conclude that the other party has advanced intelligence. The fact is actually obvious!

Behind these bugs, or this kind of creature, there is some kind of being with real intelligence. It is it that controls the endless bugs in the seemingly endless expansion in the universe!
This may sound incredible, but it is inevitable from a phenomenon perspective!
This is even more shocking than the characteristics of the Zerg individuals themselves!After all, although such creatures have enough "talent", if they are just instinctual beings, although they are still very troublesome, they will most likely not bring much trouble to today's federation.

And if under this premise, the other party still has some kind of unified scheduling and command, and can also guarantee absolute loyalty, then everything will be completely different!Their danger level will increase to an unimaginable level!

…………

When the research has reached this point, Wells still doesn't want to believe it. Although he has received some energy supplements and has not been punished by the federal military, he is not happy at all at this time.

He thought about the current situation of the Federation, the distribution of forces in the entire explored universe, and many things.

As a senior general of the Federation, although there is still a huge gap between him and a real military boss, he still has some strategic vision.

Today, Vege is struggling to deal with its own "curse" problem, unceremoniously showing its minions to the surrounding forces and civilizations. At this point, whoever takes the initiative to provoke the Vege Empire is equivalent to playing games fire.

They were so overwhelmed that they could no longer care about anything else. If the Federation informed them of this information, it was really impossible to determine how this behemoth, which had long been in opposition to the Federation to a certain extent, would react.

As for Korva, to be honest, when he saw the research results on the Zerg body in front of him, Wells immediately thought of this civilization that had kept a low profile for a long time, but was equally powerful.

If he had to find a "mastermind" for an existence like the Zerg at this stage, Wells would immediately think of them!

But after thinking about it, if the Korva Empire had such an ability, it would have been able to dominate and explore the universe long ago. Moreover, the technology mastered by these bugs is relatively "primitive", and Korva cannot be so shabby.

But precisely because of this, whether to inform the other party about things about the Zerg has become a matter that requires careful consideration.

What Wells was worried about at this time was how the Federation would deal with this incident, and what mission he, as a military general, would undertake.

In order to thoroughly verify the characteristics of the Zerg swarm, in the next 44 Oridays, Wells's battleship passed through many star systems distributed in this galaxy. However, except for a few star fields that the Zerg had not yet reached, , here is already a sea of ​​Zerg everywhere!Judging from the other party's behavior, it is easy to conclude that they are expanding unscrupulously!

He could not imagine how huge a star field this race had occupied in the past development process, and what a huge power it now had.

At this point, most of the information the Federation wants to know about the Zerg has been figured out.No matter how worried Wells, one of the few insiders, was, the rest of the matter was no longer something he could decide.

The subsequent development of this accident caused by intelligent life has been completely contrary to the original intention of the Federation. The federal think tanks in the General Staff seem to have no regard for Mira. Now the information has been basically confirmed to be true. Based on the Zerg's civilization strategy, The threat posed to the federation will be directly submitted to the parliament, and the top decision-maker of the federation will give the final answer!

As for Mira, although it is important, its priority has been quietly moving backwards.

According to the plan, Wells would make another attempt after the first round of federal support arrived, but facing Mira, who was already prepared, the possibility of another successful operation was no longer high.

The Federation will not give up easily for this intelligent life that has been determined to be related to the Apocalypse, but there are priorities. The Federation's power in this star field is now quite limited, and Mira is trying to get rid of the Federation's tracking all the time. With the Zerg on his side, I really can't take care of both with my little strength.
