Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 299 Attack of Mira

The Alliance fleet led by Korva did not go to trouble Mira because of a small loss. This may be against the face and dignity of the empire, but at the moment when it is fully dealing with the insect swarm, Korva has no intention of making enemies.

It has to be said that the alliance's measures are very efficient. With the closure of a large number of natural wormholes and the establishment of a large number of rapid response fleets, it will be difficult for the worm swarm to have a breakthrough in the frontline base established by the alliance. As for the breakthrough further back, it will only be more difficult. , because the space jump speed of the Alliance fleet is also faster than that of the insect swarm using natural wormholes!
In other words, as long as this line is stable, at least at this stage, the alliance will be in an invincible position. The insect swarm cannot invade the native star domain at all, and they can stop the regular invasion of the insect swarm here.

Everything went smoothly, the alliance's defense line was established, and the infiltration plan was carried out in an orderly manner. To this day, Zero has no idea what measures the other party has taken against the Zerg, and how much intelligence it has about the Zerg.

In order to deal with the Zerg, the Alliance has paid a lot of costs. Although there are very few large-scale formal battles between the two sides today, in order to achieve such a situation, whether it is direct consumption such as energy and resources, industrial equipment, etc., or hidden Such as personnel consumption, policy adjustments, etc., for the size of the three major civilizations, it is indeed treated with dignity.

Of course, such efforts have been duly rewarded. Under the premise of mastering the dual advantages of first mover and technology, they have now roughly figured out the sphere of influence of the insect swarm, and have firmly restricted the opponent's influence in one direction. expansion.

If the insect swarm chooses to travel through the vast star field by its own regular voyage, with the ever-present expansion of the universe, it will take millions of years to reach the areas ruled by the three major civilizations!
Within the scope of the insect swarm's rule, the alliance's intelligence is growing rapidly.In order to quickly detect the opponent's front lines of dominance in all directions, they dispatched a large number of detectors along the general direction of the swarm of insects. Although there may be slight deviations, the overall situation has been grasped. As for Now, it is time to truly search for weaknesses in the opponent's territory.

All participants, whether it is Weegee, the Federation or Korva, have a consensus that the other party's behavior has obvious purpose and discipline, or that the social behavior is extremely strong. Combined with the previous special discoveries and After in-depth research on Zerg individuals, they never believe that such a race exists out of thin air, and there must be some kind of "superior" existence!
The alliance now has an advantage. As long as the "high-ranking" people who control the insect swarm can be found and eliminated, even if the group cannot be completely destroyed, it will definitely be able to severely damage the opponent's vitality. Then the goal of the alliance will naturally be achieved. .

Among them, Korva is the most vigorously promoting this plan. They are the main controllers of the alliance on the front line. Their entire combat power system and logistics supply are quite complete. After eliminating their dependence on the mainland, the three major civilizations Each has its own development, and the initial agreement has been revised and revised over the years, but generally speaking, the Korva Empire, which was the first to invest the most power, is still the strongest.

After this line of defense initially took effect, the entire Colva Empire was planning one thing - to capture the opponent's real "advanced individual"!
Compared to Veggie and the Federation, Korva understands better what such a race represents. Perhaps the Hero Federation’s original purpose was just to capture Mira, but after they announced the existence of the swarm to Korva, The entire empire is actually working on this!
From the very beginning of promoting alliances and taking the initiative to ask for help, to now taking the lead on the front line, the purpose is to truly confirm the true identity of this race that suddenly appeared in our field of vision. Now, this goal has been achieved!
Through the acquisition and dissection of the Zerg body, Korva is confident that he has obtained the information he wants. The next step is to capture its "high-level" and completely uncover the biggest mystery in the history of civilization development, and in this way, the entire empire Towards a new chapter!

Everyone in the explored universe knows that Korva rose last among the three major civilizations, but he was able to quickly join forces with the other two, including the Federation and Vege. The history of Korva as a competitor is naturally full of twists and turns. research, but found nothing but frequent technological breakthroughs in biotechnology.

Of course, this in itself is very abnormal. You must know that when the three major civilizations first really met, although there were many tricks, the energy level of the Korva Empire had essentially just gotten rid of nuclear energy!

At that time, people as powerful as Weegee were already extracting matter from the dark side of the universe to provide energy supply!In addition, Korva's research level in all other aspects is not as good as that of the Federation, but he strangely achieved an alternative "replacement" with powerful life technology. In the end, through the initial protracted war, he established what he is today. The basic pattern of the universe has been explored.

It's as if this race has focused all its technological points on life technology. There is no way this will not attract the attention of other civilizations, even if they quickly absorb each other's superior technologies and gradually become "comprehensive" Change this.

No one knows what role the "ornament" that never falls has played in the history of civilization on the scepter that the emperor never leaves his hand, and no civilization will understand this fresh thing better than they do. What kind of "magic power" does the well-known "holy object" possess?
After taking over the Zerg dissection unit "Scalpel" from the Federation, this strange creature quickly entered the sight of the empire's top officials, and reached Tianting out of control.

Although the structures of such characteristics are completely different, both the "mixture" itself and the "plasticity" hidden in the depths are so familiar...

And this also fundamentally promoted the empire's actions against the Zerg, and it even took the lead in investing huge costs for this!
Today, the time has matured, and it is time to fully launch the search plan to bring back to the empire the possibility that may bring another take-off for the entire civilization!
.......................................

The Hero Federation seems to have given up on Mira. Even though Mira showed up last time, she never suffered any harassment from the other party.

But it was not satisfied with this. After realizing that the wormhole was "blocked", it took advantage of the situation to increase its computing power for studying the space jump theory. At the same time, it still did not forget to command the fleet to attack several opponents that may exist in the calculation. Go to the "stronghold" galaxy.

This is quite a distance, and the convenience of wormhole passage is lost in this direction, making it difficult for both the Zerg and Mira. However, Mira is not in a hurry. She knows very well that before truly finding the other party's "home", This war is destined to be a protracted war. Even if it is determined to cause trouble for the Hero Federation, it hopes that its fleet will at least have the ability to pose a threat to the other party.

Nowadays, whether it is the swarm or Mira, if they want to cause damage to these elusive battleships of the other side, they can only rely on siege and overwhelming numbers in an absolute sense.

Although this is indeed the strength of the two, under such a situation, it is absolutely difficult to launch a large-scale battlefield competition with the other party, let alone get to the fundamentals. Perhaps the efficiency of destroying the insect swarm is not even as good as the million produced by the other party. One percent, then everything is meaningless.

For Mira, the same is true, but the difference is that through the collection of large amounts of data and precise calculations, it can probably calculate some galaxies where the opponent may be stationed, perhaps industrial bases, perhaps development sites. Or maybe it is simply a deserted galaxy. As long as the opponent's production facilities can be found, then destroying them is always more cost-effective than consuming the opponent's warships.

After all, the latter is just a "product", while the former is the foundation of everything. It is as if Zero expects to ignite the flames of war on the other side's homeland. It is clear at a glance which one is more important.Under the current circumstances, only in this way can it cause trouble to the other party and reduce the other party's war potential to the greatest extent.

In this process, the alliance led by Korva is conducting an almost "net-like" search of all the star systems ruled by the Zerg!

Even with Korva's size, doing so is by no means a simple matter. Not to mention the issue of efficiency, the number of star systems currently controlled by the Zerg alone can make any race's scalp numb. An astronomical number with a basic unit of [-] million, if we really continue to search one by one, we will never be able to complete the mission, even if the number of detectors sent by the alliance becomes larger and larger, this will not change!
From the opponent's perspective, there must be one or more real high-level voices in the insect swarm, a race that is actually no different from an intelligent civilization. Otherwise, the functional structures and "buildings" discovered along the way cannot be explained. The "artificial" traces of those Zerg warships are also too obvious.

But if you stand from Zero's perspective, you will find that everything is completely different. Apart from the fact that you don't know where you are, the Cerebrates are indeed very important to the Zerg. Without them, the Zerg would not be able to reach this point, but the other party's plan But it was doomed to fail. Zero didn't even think that the other party could make such a decision. What he had always been worried about was the Zerg scientific research base stations that were widely distributed.

……………… Zerg In 2564, the Alliance fleet led by Korva launched the second important battle against the Zerg, and this time, their target was Dagoth!
At this time, it is not on the front line between the swarm and the Alliance. On the contrary, in order to avoid an encounter like Sk, the cerebrates, including Sass, have been hiding themselves as much as possible.

They are either hiding among the ordinary insect swarms on developed planets, or simply hiding under the empty and dark deep space between galaxies. What they carry even includes all the wisdom currently controlled by the insect race. The "fire of civilization" of civilization, as well as a large number of outstanding individuals of the intelligent race transformed by Zerg lurkers.

Obviously, Zero is ready to lose these races that have contributed to the insect swarm. Of course, before that, he still asked Todd to transfer them to the boundless starry sky as much as possible, no longer directly attached to them. Exists in the star system.

This can indeed avoid being directly discovered by the other party to the greatest extent, but again, Zero can't guarantee whether he will also fall into the eyes of the other party when making these preparations.

And that's the case with Dagos.

Originally leading the swarm on the expansion front as the swarm "opened up territory", it had given up following the main fleet under Zero's instructions after it was forced to "die" in Sk, and instead kept a low profile. He hid in a Zerg team that was developing a planet.

The galaxy it is hiding in is nothing special compared to the many star systems exploited by the Zerg, but coincidentally, a batch of detectors from the Alliance happened to capture the initial anomaly that was extremely easy to ignore. .

Of course, there were many anomalies encountered when the Alliance was exploring the Zerg territory, but most of them were quickly eliminated by Korva. The opportunity was precious and should not be wasted.Therefore, it was only now that it was clearly marked and became a real key target of attack.

So, an attack on this place was immediately put on the agenda!
Just like the original battle with Sk, with the help of space jumps that are currently almost unsolvable for the Zerg, the Alliance fleet can open space channels at any time to conduct long-distance space jumps at a large cost of resources. This time, due to The distance is far, spanning almost the entire Zerg sphere of influence. The fleet even has to jump twice in a row. The consumption of such a large-scale fleet is immeasurable!
But they still came, directly to the outskirts of the galaxy, and unceremoniously started accelerating to a certain planet. The goal was very clear!

Zero really did not expect that after so many years, when the other party launched an attack against the Zerg's important targets again, it would not choose a scientific research base with a large number of "personnel", but another brain worm, but this did not prevent him from immediately organizing the entire star system. The swarm buys time for Dagoth.

Maybe the hope of survival is slim, but Zero doesn't want to just "give up".

Unsurprisingly, the opponent almost immediately struck the wormhole exit inside the galaxy, cutting off Dagoth's escape route.

Perhaps it was because Sk's resolute self-destruction left a deep impression on the opponent last time. This time their offensive was even faster than before, as if they wanted to capture the opponent before Dagos "suicide".

And soon, Zero knew the basis for the other party's invasion again. While dealing with the "tickling" attack of the insect swarm, they were trying to build a "space blockade" just like the last time that cut off Mira's connection with the exploration warship they sent. , wanting to physically cut off Dagos's contact with the outside world, thereby creating opportunities for himself.

To be honest, after decades of development, although the development of science and technology has also been affected to a certain extent due to the overall migration of scientific research teams, the combat effectiveness of Zerg units has indeed continued to improve over the years. The most intuitive manifestation is the same The damage caused to the opponent in the time is increasing. The achievements in defense are meaningless in front of the opponent, but the achievements in mobility are worth mentioning.

At least in this battle, the time it took to assemble the combat units of the entire star system was reduced by almost a quarter!

The other party's warships didn't seem to have many obvious changes. Zero didn't believe that the other party had no development in these years, but compared to the upgrading of the Zerg, the other party was obviously not so convenient.

…………

After the wormhole was destroyed for the first time and Dagos itself was locked, both Zero and Dagos knew very well that it could not go away.

Zero was slightly surprised by the other party's "space blockade". After reacting, he immediately started "copying" this technology with all his strength, trying to provide more parameters for the Zerg space research career.

Of course, Korva was completely unable to prevent Dagoth from self-destructing "in front of their eyes" at the last moment, and he didn't even leave them with any physical structure.

In the end, the fleet chose to retreat after a brief battle with the insect swarm out of anger and left some costs.

Zero didn't know the other party's plan and had no way of pursuing him. He had already been mentally prepared and didn't even have many mood swings.

However, what he didn't know was that shortly after the other party had just completed its evacuation, almost the same encounter had already occurred in the alliance's newly built industrial base!
The mechanical fleet under Mira found a star system under development in the Alliance and carried out the raid plan without hesitation. While a large number of warships entangled the opponent with only remaining forces, the mechanical fleet that poured into it destroyed the entire star system. The department's industrial facilities were completely destroyed.

Then he didn't evacuate and simply chose to self-destruct.
