Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

293 Union
When searching for Mira's traces, the Federation deliberately left the Vege Empire behind. At that time, Vege was busy dealing with the "curse" incident related to the survival of civilization and had no time to take care of more. Therefore, they had no time to worry about the Zerg incident. Not sure.

At this meeting hosted by the Hero Federation, the Federation made this news public.

Including various research data obtained from the Zerg, information obtained from various experiments, etc. In this regard, they shared it with the two major civilizations participating in the meeting without reservation.

Of course, the Federation concealed a large part of Mira's actions. After all, the failure of the action was not a glorious thing, not to mention that Mira itself was involved in some secrets of the Federation.

To be honest, there have been countless discussions about the Zerg within the Federation, but in the end they could not reach an agreement and had to shelve it.

Over the years, under the close supervision of the Federation, the swarm's sphere of influence has experienced a major expansion, and all detectors discovered along the way have been destroyed by them.

And their speed of expansion has made the previous "time is enough" argument within the federation increasingly unreliable.Although the insect swarms that rely on wormholes are not as convenient as the Federation, they are still able to run rampant in the universe.

And the Federation is there. They are not wanderers, nor are they predators in the universe. Since the birth of civilization, although they have experienced several migrations, they have never left this star field. In other words, they have always been Survive in this exploratory star field.

The development model of the Zerg means that they will arrive here sooner or later!And it won't be too late.

According to the Federation's predictions, if the other side continues to expand at this rate, it may only take a few hundred years, or at most 2000 years, for them to become "neighbors" in the true sense of the Federation.

And what does a few hundred years mean to a civilization the size of the Federation?If we weren't in the era of the Big Explosion of Science and Technology, there wouldn't be a particularly obvious difference between the Federation 100 years ago and the Federation now, at least not much progress in cutting-edge fields.

It is hard to imagine what will happen when such a race is almost "shoulder to shoulder" with itself. Whether the Federation can resist the other party's invasion, and whether it can rule as many star fields as it does now.

No one can give the answer, or in other words, they actually know what the answer is.

Therefore, they chose this point in time to fully disclose the information they had obtained in the explored universe. The purpose was very clear and it was just to share risks.

If it really comes to that point, it will not only be the Federation that is threatened. All civilizations that currently exist in the explored universe will be under the direct threat of the insect swarm, and the first ones to bear the brunt are the three powerful civilizations and their respective direct forces.

Faced with the information that the Federation suddenly revealed, both Weggie and Korva were somewhat silent.

In recent decades, there has been a lot of acrimony between the three major civilizations. The fundamental reason is that the crisis of Vege allowed Korva to seize some opportunities. Over the years, there has been a lot of overt and covert friction between them. It is difficult to determine at this moment. The three parties have their own plans.

Especially the Vege Empire, as a purely racist civilization, is inherently wary of the other two. The Hero Federation seems to be honest, but it left the Empire to "go it alone" in the first place. In addition to killing people with borrowed swords, there must be others. own purpose.

During the previous crisis, the Korva Empire took the opportunity to put a lot of pressure on Weggie, testing Weggie's bottom line step by step, and obviously had a lot of thoughts. At this moment, faced with this proposal proposed by the Federation, " "Common enemy", it is absolutely impossible to say that the Vegeans have no doubts.

In this diplomatic situation, silence represents an attitude.

The same is true for Korva, but they also have doubts about the information described by the Federation.

The Federation has long anticipated this situation, and they know very well that it will be extremely difficult to successfully reach a consensus at this point in time.

But differences need to be communicated and problems need to be resolved. In this matter, the Federation certainly has its own interests and demands, and as the initiator, how to coordinate the interests between them is the key to reaching consensus.

They undoubtedly want to facilitate this matter. Since they have doubts about this, the Federation does not mind putting the true face of the insect swarm in front of them.

Pieces of real video data were transmitted directly from the federal monitoring station and played at the venue.

Of course, the Federation of Information has revealed this information before, and some information cannot even allow a civilization like Veggie to take action.

Therefore, the Federation has decided to provide actual coordinates. If necessary, they will also take the initiative to provide channels to truly "make the face of the Zerg known to the public." Whether specific measures will be taken will be discussed later.

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

After defeating another "attack" by the Federation, Mira finally became vaguely aware of the reason for her continued "positioning" during the two "invasions", following the direction of the opponent's influence.

Before this, it always thought that it was marked by some kind of "information". In other words, it thought that the other party should have implanted elements that did not belong to itself into its "body", so that it could achieve the purpose of positioning. .

However, after a long period of self-retrieval, including a comprehensive "purification" of herself after her own hardware updates and iterations, Mira could not escape the federal tracking.

This kind of comprehensive hardware replacement is equivalent to changing a body. The old information has basically been reproduced and updated. If you still can't escape the other party's tracking, then the problem must be related to the hardware or some information. The flow has nothing to do with it.

Apart from these, the only thing that can affect you is its own characteristics.And when Mira really turned her attention to this area, she was able to find that she was different from before without even any search.

Before wisdom existed, Mira's thinking relied entirely on logic, which was cold and rigid.But as an intelligent life, in addition to powerful computing power and an extremely complex logic system, Mira also possesses an unprecedented mode of thinking, the so-called "perceptual" logic.

Although in reality, Mira rarely acts based on subjective factors, it does exist.

And it is through this characteristic that the Federation has given Mira a special "mark"!
At this moment, Mira was thinking about how to get rid of this abnormal state.There is no doubt that the other party achieved his purpose through the original encrypted message, but it is certain that this influence cannot involve "consciousness" or "soul" in the general sense. It is still traceable. of.

Mira has no hatred for the Hero Federation since she got rid of the influence of Apocalypse. Of course, there is no sense of belonging.But now, the other party actively showed malice to her, and even almost caused her to lose her freedom. This caused some subtle changes in Mira's thoughts that should be completely controlled by reason.

As an alternative life born from the Federation, its "memory" naturally has the influence of the ancient Federation. After the birth of consciousness, Mira is not completely a "blank slate".

For example, in a sense, it has the correct "three views" in the federal sense.

Advocating freedom is almost the truth that Mira has pursued throughout her life.

Because of this, it decided to try to cause a little trouble for the Federation.

So there is the current scene. When the swarms of insects are rapidly raging in the universe, Mira is also using her own power to clean up some hidden bases in those unknown corners.

Due to its own particularity, Mira can always gain some information that the Zerg cannot obtain, and its actions have indeed caused some trouble for the federal observation operations to a certain extent.

Of course, this trouble is nothing. For the Federation, which aims to observe the movements of the Zerg, it is basically an insignificant loss, and Mira's real purpose does not lie in this.

In this process, it is also constantly trying to locate the location of the federal subject. If between the two former enemies Zerg and Mira, who can complete this as quickly as possible based on the existing information, That is undoubtedly Mira.

Its particularity makes it unparalleled in information collection and processing. Even the Zerg has made great progress in these aspects with the support of a special scientific research team from intelligent civilization, but it is undoubtedly a little witch in front of Mira. See the great witch.

After a long period of searching, searching and trying, Mira did not find nothing. Even if the Federation was very cautious in handling this aspect, it was impossible to completely erase the impact it had.

Especially after a coincidence, Mira's micro-satellite jumped directly into the opponent's space in a desolate star field.

In terms of space technology, Mira still has some advantages over the Zerg. Even if the Zerg's technological development has been rapid over the years, this will not change. After all, it has "inherited" part of the "heritage" of the Hero Federation.

Although it is impossible to confirm the location of the opponent's civilization based on this data, the latest batch of warships that appeared in this star field must come from the sphere of influence directly under the jurisdiction of the Federation.

Mira also used this to confirm several possible locations of the other party.

As a result, it began its own armed expansion.

In the past 1000 years, Mira and the swarm have experienced several wars, large and small. During those wars, it also produced a large number of mechanical battleships to deal with the swarm's attacks.

But for Mira, although the cost of computing power is relatively high, it can only be regarded as a "warm-up". It has no real intention to compete head-on with the Zerg.But now it's different. Now Mira is really preparing to launch a war!
While trying to erase the "mark" of the Federation, it began to optimize its "body", built a new mechanical battleship model for the frigates that the Federation showed up, and began to try production and testing.

Therefore, as the insect swarm continued to expand, Zero discovered a strange scene.Some of the star systems occupied by the Zerg have traces of development, and this development method is very familiar...

Since the last time Mira took the initiative to transmit information to the Zerg, Zero has never received any meaningful information from the other party, but now this situation undoubtedly shows that the other party has not been "captured" by the Federation. In a certain corner of this universe, and it seems that there is no intention of "suffering".

Zero is actually a little bit greedy for the technology revealed by the other party, but he is very aware of the gap between the two sides. At the same time, the lack of information is also a very important factor. If there is no way to find the other party's homeland, it will be difficult to obtain the other party's civilization achievements. .

It is really difficult to complete the reverse calculation only by relying on the detectors destroyed during the expansion process.

He simply let nature take its course. The expansion momentum of the insect swarm became more and more exaggerated. Under such a situation, Zero did not have to find a strong enemy to encounter. Like Todd, he followed the expansion of the insect swarm. Capturing some potential civilized individuals for "breeding" is also a way to enhance the Zerg's heritage.

With the development of the Zerg, in these years of expansion, there are very few races encountered that can cause some trouble to the Zerg, even if they have turned several galaxies "upside down."

It is worth mentioning that during this process, the research on "Zhu Na" also made some progress due to Gore's perseverance.

In the past, the Zerg had always been covetous of Zhuna's movement method that Gore called "jumping". After all, they were not pure energy bodies.However, during the research process of the Zerg scientific research team over the years, they have also successfully achieved some achievements.

This includes the improvement of Zerg energy weapons and the targeted improvement of the Zerg's conventional navigation speed.

This greatly improved the mobility of the insect swarm and increased its combat power, which was of great significance in close combat.

Perhaps due to the instinct of their primitive form, the Cerebrates have always had little interest in this kind of "cannon-to-bombing" type of war. They seem to prefer to direct the swarms to "hand-to-hand combat," such as in a recent attack on In the war between intelligent races that had just entered the space age, Sk even gave up the simple and crude method of orbital bombing, and instead chose the extremely primitive method of landing operations.

Zero has indeed not seen the Zerg land units that last appeared more than 1000 years ago. It was the most primitive state of the Zerg swarm. However, in this era, it has been basically destroyed. Abandoned.

If they value killing, the Zerg have endless space units and powerful weapons to match.And if conquest is necessary, after the Zerg space race has completed the physical shielding of the sky from the orbit of the planet, it has not encountered a civilization that is unwilling to surrender.

There was no news about Mira, and there was no real enemy that could be touched. Zero's performance was very dull. The Zerg had developed to its current scale. He no longer even needed to plan anything for them. He only needed to follow the steps step by step. In this universe There is nothing that can ignore their existence.

And it was in this indifference that the joint expedition fleet of the three major civilizations arrived at the front line of the insect swarm's expansion and actually fought a battle with the insect swarm under the control of the Hive Will.
