Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 297 The dignified Korva
In this raid, only Sk was hit by a "fatal" blow. It will take some time to grow back in the rear, and Zero does not plan to send cerebrates to the front line in the near future.

Zero is not sure how much the opponent has penetrated at this time. If there are any areas in the Zerg territory that are valuable for raids besides the brain worms, then there are probably only those areas established by Todd over the years for the reproduction and development of intelligent races. The suitable environment provided for survival.

Most of them occupy large areas in the star system, and some are even transformed by the Zerg. Those unique facilities and completely different Zerg individuals are as bright as lights in the dark night. Once noticed, It’s hard not to get attacked.

The opponent relies on its own jumping ability to perform such tactical tasks easily, and the insect swarm will not have much room for resistance.

Therefore, Zero has recently been preparing for the "relocation" of its scientific research base.What happened to Sk was a reminder to him that for a long period of time in the future, the insect swarm will not have much defense capabilities against such attacks from the opponent, and these large space vehicles carrying hundreds of millions of intelligent races Once the facility is destroyed, it will indeed be a heavy blow to the current scientific research system of the insect swarm.

It's hard to say who is more unfavorable to the current situation. Zero believes that as long as the Zerg swarm can find the main body of the other party's civilization, the Zerg will be able to instantly transform from its current disadvantage to the strategic advantage of a full-scale attack. But before that, they have to endure the opponent's situation. harassment and obstruction.

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

In Zerg 2409, with the failure of the first raid, it may be regarded as a success in a certain sense for the Alliance, but no matter what, this battle can be regarded as the first of a large-scale military collision between the two sides. , the Alliance's invasions began to become more frequent, especially the focused attacks on the Zerg wormhole areas, causing heavy losses to the wormhole galaxies near the frontline star field.

A large number of wormhole entrances were forced to close. Under the opponent's targeted space attack, the worm swarm often needed a lot of time and consumption to reopen the entrance channel, and the opponent seemed to have some means of remotely confirming the opening of the wormhole, and continued to attack It has become the norm. Often the opponent only needs a small number of warships to render the swarm of insects that are multiplying and expanding throughout the galaxy helpless.

Every invasion was accompanied by large-scale losses ranging from planets to space bases. After the battle, all that was left to the Zerg was a piece of chicken feathers, while the opponent's losses were very limited.

Of course, this does not affect the expansion of the Zerg swarm. Even with such blows and harassment, the Zerg explorers have never stopped. The area where the "frontline" is located continues to expand, within those cold and dark cosmic spaces. , the worm swarm as a whole is still expanding crazily from the wormhole galaxy to the surrounding areas.

Zero could clearly see that most of the invading warships seemed to have similar characteristics to the Zerg warships. From the analysis of their wreckage, it could be concluded that just like the Zerg units, the opponent's warships contained quite sophisticated The biotechnology of the world can even be said to have completed the perfect combination of "flesh and blood" and machinery.

This is clearly different from the current mainstream technology of the Zerg. Zerg units are generally based on biological structures, using extremely precise gene regulation to form their own biological systems, combined with material technology from various civilizations and their own development. The opponent has taken a completely different path. It is obvious that the application of biotechnology on battleships is in a auxiliary position. At least the opponent's battleships can never be called "alive".

Of course, this still surprised Zero.

Over the years, many races and civilizations have been wiped out by the Zerg, but in terms of achievements in biotechnology, this time's opponent must be ranked first.

Although in terms of details, the Zerg and the opponent should be in two completely different directions, the biological materials that are no less "grown" than the Zerg and the functional structures with extremely precise details are silently telling Zero, The other party can also be said to have reached the pinnacle in biotechnology!

This made Zero very curious about this race.To be honest, the reason why the Zerg can reach this point so quickly on this road is not only due to their own efforts, but even the proportion of "hard work" is quite limited.

Including the results of plundering over the years, the total sum is not as important as "talent".

Brainworms are born with the ability to easily and unconsciously complete biological structure changes at the underlying genetic level, which is unimaginable for ordinary life!
Even if they themselves did not realize what this ability meant at the beginning, this talent itself can be said to be throughout the development process of the Zerg.Without this talent, if all scientific and technological achievements are to be properly applied to the Zerg themselves, the energy and resources required will increase thousands of times, and the Zerg swarm will not be able to evolve in just over 2000 years. Come this far!
And the source of their talents...

The group of ants back then obviously had no such potential. The only source could only be the special "special" thing hidden inside the mountain of an ordinary living planet that allowed the ant colony to transform into ordinary creatures like the Zerg. Stone".

For so many years, Zero has not stopped exploring this kind of existence. He hopes that the Zerg can obtain a second such "object" so that the Zerg, which is now different from what it used to be, can figure out what caused it. Such an exaggerated change.

In fact, during the expansion journey of the Zerg units for so many years, the invaded living planets were almost turned upside down by the Zerg swarm, and even a few words in the history of many civilizations, including records containing rich mythological colors, are all No trace of its existence has been found. There are some similarities, but they can all be easily disproven.

Zero has never stopped exploring the fundamental origin of the Zerg. To be honest, in the development of the Zerg, this thing played a much greater role than Zero's existence.Without it, there is a high probability that today's Zero would still be leading the ant colony on the surface of the planet to play a survival game with the lizard people who have entered the technological era.

Of course, facing Korva's advanced biotechnology, Zero did not think that it would be related to the origin of the Zerg.Like many races encountered during the development of the insect swarm, at best, the opponent has just developed a little longer, and it is not an exaggeration to reach this level.

However, this is not the case at all for the Korva Empire!
As the war on the front continues, their understanding of the Zerg becomes deeper and deeper.In order to study this race, the empire formed a top scientific research team. They even went to the imperial industrial base built in front to resist the invasion of the Zerg to conduct the most intuitive experimental observation of the Zerg body structure!
In comparison, although Vege and the Hero Federation also attach great importance to the research of Zerg, they are not as cautious as them.

Of course, their behavior can also be understood to the outside world. After all, everyone knows what kind of superior technology Korva has used to dominate a large star field in the explored universe.

And as the research on the Zerg becomes more and more profound, the haze in the hearts of the Korva people becomes heavier.

It is true that for this race, today's three major civilizations and even all races in the explored universe have some understanding of the Zerg. They realize the potential of this race and confirm its threat to themselves, but for Korva, In other words, these perceptions appear to be much one-sided.

Korva was able to discover many special features that the Federation and Vege were unaware of through his own research.

The entire explored universe knows how they rose, and even the history of their civilization is widely spread in this area.

Compared with the Federation and Vege, Korva's historical background is not high, and the birth of civilization is the shortest. This is one of the important factors why they have long been considered to be at the bottom of the three major civilizations.However, few people know the real reason why they have been able to develop to this day. The true history of the civilization has been deliberately hidden. In the end, over a long period of time, it was only passed down among generations of Korva leaders and a very small number of families.

The model suspended above the emperor's scepter is a symbol of the empire's highest power, but it is also the most critical factor in the entire civilization's development to this point.

after all……

It is too special, and its significance to the empire is too important.

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

The Alliance's industrial system on the front line is developing rapidly. Here, they do not need to consider sustainability. The fire of civilization has become the purest industrial soul here. The three major civilizations have carried out crazy industrial expansion here. Planets that are found to be valuable for development will soon usher in a new destiny, and in exchange, the alliance will have an increasingly large fleet of ships.

One fleet after another was built, and then either entered the Zerg territory to harass and destroy, or jumped to unoccupied wormhole systems to establish a defense line.

Over the years, the Alliance has gradually established a "blockade" between the insect swarm and its own star field. Of course, this is far from the end. In the homelands of various civilizations in the explored universe, a large number of civilized warships have also During the dispatch, they were trying to block the way forward for the insect swarm in this direction, and they did not hesitate to spend astronomical amounts of resources.

Of course, this works.

As the wormhole exit in front is blocked, the Zerg's expansion speed in this direction will inevitably be affected. Without mastering space jumping technology, it will be difficult for them to cross the long distance between galaxies, which is often millions of light years.

There was a time when the three major civilizations conducted a large-scale liquidation campaign against Zhuna. After that, the civilizations that had explored the universe successively stopped using the technology of wormhole passage.In addition to the unpredictable dangers, Zhuna herself also plays an indispensable role.

In that war, the three major civilizations paid a heavy price to allow these energy beings, which seemed to be infinitely aggregable, to withdraw from the stage of exploring the universe. Of course, the gains were huge.

Since then, based on in-depth research on Zhuna, Vege's energy system can be said to have made revolutionary progress in just a few hundred years, and the Federation's jumping technology has also developed considerably.

As a result, the entire explored universe has entered another period of expansion. At the same time, what they have gained is Zhuna's ability to "heal" wormholes.

This is the research result from Korva, and it was eventually popularized in the entire civilization system. The wormhole space became "extinct" in the explored universe. In addition to completely eliminating the possibility of Zhuna's harassment, it also represents The three major civilizations have deeper control over the explored universe.

For now, if Zero could see it, he would find that the natural wormholes in the direction of the insect swarm are "extinguish" one by one!
On the side close to the insect swarm, the opponent is actively building a defense line, expanding its fleet, and establishing a defense system.On the other side close to the civilization system, through precise spatial positioning, when the natural wormhole is exposed, it will be "annihilated" shortly thereafter.

Maybe there will be some "fish that slipped through the net", but even if the worm swarm can emerge from here, when there are no more wormhole exits around, they will not be able to do what they are doing now with their own navigation capabilities. The expansion speed is as fast as "invading like fire"!

Even such an isolated existence is at risk of being wiped out.

Zero was not aware of this at this moment. He was still thinking about how to deal with the alliance's attack.

The armed forces that continued to penetrate deep into the areas controlled by the Zerg made Zero feel more and more troublesome.

Todd felt deeply about this.

Its scientific research base for intelligent races has experienced five large-scale "inward relocations" in just 40 years. Each time has been huge and costly, not to mention consuming time and various resources. Continuous retreat is not a long-term solution. After all, although the area now ruled by the swarm is vast, it always has its boundaries. If one day the opponent actually penetrates deep into the other end with Orui as the center, how will we deal with it then?
Give up the rule of intelligent races?

That's not impossible, after all, the insect swarm does not completely rely on the intelligence of other races to develop.But today, after the Zerg have realized how helpful these scientific research bases are to them, wanting to give up easily is tantamount to tying their own hands and personally reducing their own scientific research potential.

It has to be admitted that these outstanding individuals of the intelligent race are playing an increasingly important role in the Zerg scientific research system.

If there is still room, neither Zero nor Todd will give up these high-quality "workers" easily, including the intelligent population that continuously provides themselves with "talents".

Of course, Zero still has some methods, but he's just not willing to use them.In extreme cases, he is ready to retain these "civilization fires" and only retain the existing outstanding talents who have become half Zerg individuals to "restart civilization" at an appropriate time in the future.

This is feasible, but it will cost some time. From the perspective of the Zerg, it will also reduce the biological "potential" of the entire race, so Zero will not execute this plan easily.

What He wants to do more is to prevent the invasion of these annoying "flies"!

In recent years, it is no longer just detectors. Small-scale warships have been running rampant in the territory of the Zerg. It is even foreseeable that if the technological level of the Zerg cannot be broken through, the other party may really find the "home planet" of the Zerg in the future. "Ori, although it will not cause fatal harm to the Zerg, for Zero, it is undoubtedly an insult!
