Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 301 The First Total War

Mira is rapidly strengthening itself. In the subsequent invasion, the opponent has obvious defenses. The outward manifestation is that there is enough garrison strength in every industrial galaxy, which is enough to directly block Mira's mechanical fleet, and The advanced monitoring system no longer allows Mira to conduct a surprise attack like the last time.

The only way to achieve results is to defeat the opponent's defense system head-on. However, during this process, if the battle cannot be ended quickly, reinforcements may arrive at any time from the opponent.

Under such circumstances, the war debris data previously obtained by Mira became much more valuable.

It is not an easy task to work backwards from the achievements of science and technology. Of course, it is much better than starting from scratch.

For this reason, Mira's mechanical battleship has undergone an all-round strengthening in recent times. Perhaps this change is not obvious in front of the Alliance fleet. Units that could have been eliminated with one shot can still be solved with one shot. , there is no change, but if you compare it with yourself during the Raid War, there is almost a generation difference!
The Zerg's consistent plunder finally gave Mira a taste of the sweetness this time. With her own particularity, the secrets contained in the finished equipment were revealed bit by bit, and in exchange her own combat power was rapidly enhanced.

The only regret is that time was really tight at the time, otherwise the harvest would have been even more fruitful.

Mira has no intention of sharing technology with the insect swarm. There is some real interaction between the two parties, but it is obviously not possible to be close to this level.

However, the swarm also has its own methods. Through years of entanglement with the alliance, what they have gained, combined with the corresponding previous scientific and technological research, plus some inspiration from Zhuna, with the efforts of the scientific research team and the brain worms, , the Zerg are also making rapid progress.

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

In the Alliance's frontline headquarters, Commander Nocchi from Korva has been a little irritable recently. When she came here, in addition to the requirements of the Alliance itself, she naturally also represented the interests of the Empire. However, this work was not smooth at the beginning. Outside of this, there are already signs of uncontrollability.

First, the empire used the alliance's intelligence system to conduct two "private operations" against important Zerg units. Although both ended in victory, Korva's purpose was completely failed to achieve.

I don’t know what is hidden in the Zerg fleet. Every time, I return without success. As for the Zerg units that were eliminated, although the number is indeed large, everyone knows that compared to the size of the Zerg, Nothing at all.

Of course, since there was no harvest, this operation was also recorded in the alliance later, which can be regarded as an explanation to Weige and the Federation.

In addition to the failure of the empire to achieve its own demands, the alliance itself also made her feel a little worried.The intelligent life described by the Hero Federation has definitely made its attitude towards the alliance clear.

Even without thinking, Nocchi knew that this was the fault of the Federation's previous actions. Before that, it had not been taken seriously by the Federation. Korva and Veggie had no appeal to Mira. But after it completed the raid on the alliance base, everything was different!

Their worries have come true. In recent contacts, they can feel that the combat power of the Mira fleet is rising rapidly, and the direction of improvement is very subtle. It is basically closely related to some of the technological achievements of the alliance itself. Relationship.

If you say that this has nothing to do with the previous attack on the industrial base, no one will believe it.

Unlike the Zerg, their sphere of influence is already very clear. It is right there. Although it is expanding very rapidly, there will be almost no major changes.

But Mira doesn’t have any fixed base!To this day, the three major civilizations, including the Hero Federation, have never again located where the real Mira exists.

And this means that they cannot pose a threat to this intelligent life!

Just like the Zerg facing them, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the clear, very passive.

As one of the alliance's spokespeople in this star field, Nocchi was very critical of the Hero Federation. If it hadn't been for their rash actions, perhaps many things could have been avoided.

Of course, she is just complaining in her heart. When it comes to private work, which of the three major civilizations does not have some interests of its own in the face of this matter?Korva himself is using the power of the alliance to seek his own interests, and he really has no position to blame the Hero Federation.

What's more, the three major civilizations are now in a period of close cooperation that is extremely rare in history. For the sake of the safety of civilization, Noqi will not take any action that undermines unity.

The only worry is that this may cast some haze on the subsequent progress of the entire league's plans.In addition to dealing with the insect swarm, they also had to guard against Mira's invasion, which was not a good thing in any respect.

……

Now that things have arisen, they must be dealt with even if they are no longer willing to face them. Although Mira has used most of her computing power to improve the combat capabilities of mechanical battleships in recent times, she still maintains a certain attitude towards the invasion of the alliance. The frequency never really stops.

After discovering the first industrial base of the opponent, Mira quickly established an entire "intelligence network" of her own through her own detection system. Those deep darkness are indeed very good for the alliance. Cover, but why not for Mira?

There is no doubt that the alliance's anti-reconnaissance system is stronger, but even they do not have the power to truly block the entire star field.

Today, the alliance's defense line has been established quite well. With the initial investment regardless of cost, a large number of wormholes have been repaired. Without special means, they cannot be opened again, at least on the long front in this direction. , they have completed their original plan, which was to delay the progress of the Zerg as much as possible.

The previously discussed resolution on expanding the scope of the defense line has also been passed. Although there were some conflicts, for example, representatives of the Vege Empire expressed certain doubts about the necessity of this matter, but they were eventually persuaded to participate.

If there is anyone among the three major civilizations who is relatively pure about this defensive operation, it is undoubtedly the Vege Empire.After recovering from the original "curse" incident, Veggie's main goal was to restore his own stability and at the same time research the special technology that he had acquired by accident.

Whether it is Mira or the Zerg, Veggie has no plans. If they were not aware of the threat of the Zerg in the future, they would not even participate. This is why Veggie, with the most powerful fleet, deploys forces on the front line. One of the least reasons.

But at this juncture, they had to divide their forces to protect the rear base and deal with Mira's possible attack at any time.Although the opponent does not have the means to jump in space and is relatively clumsy, the number of them is too huge to hold them up. No one knows how many mechanical warships are hidden in the darkness now, and when and where they will suddenly appear and launch. attack.

But things still have to be done. Due to Mira's participation in the war, the workload has become much larger, but the alliance is still sparing no effort to promote its own plan. At least at this stage, the entire alliance has shown extremely strong action capabilities, as if There is no trace of the badness between them in the past.

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

After the first two failed operations, Korva is updating his plan. They cannot allow a living race like the Zerg that may affect the future of the entire civilization to remain indifferent under their noses and enter the treasure mountain and return empty-handed. No one Will be willing.

But before they are fully prepared, they will not take action easily. Cooperating with the alliance to expand the scope and block the direction of the insect swarm has become their next main direction of effort.

The same is true for the Hero Federation. Mira got rid of the previous control. This was already expected by the Federation after the failure of the first operation. Although the difficulty has increased a lot, the top officials of the Federation still decided to continue to implement the plan. With the help of the entire alliance, Mira's position was locked again.

Firstly, the Federation needs the secrets that may exist in Mira. Secondly, as the hostility between the two sides becomes clear, they must deal with this enemy who will definitely cause big trouble in the future. This is not only for the Federation itself, but also for the entire alliance. consider.

Both sides are intensively formulating strategies, and the targets targeted by these strategies are fully developing their own technologies.

.........

With a clear goal in mind, the swarms from the areas occupied by the Zerg began to surge forward like a wave. The entire Zerg seemed to suddenly "come to life" and quickly gathered towards the border through the wormhole passages within the territory.

Naturally, such an obvious move cannot be concealed from the alliance that has penetrated deeper and deeper. After the Zerg truly launched full-scale mobilization, they once again realized the terror of this race. Through simple calculations, they can draw a conclusion, which is enough in the physical sense. The power to submerge an entire star system!

Fortunately, their technological level is not high. Once the opponent is allowed to develop, it is difficult to imagine what price the alliance will have to pay to prevent the opponent from advancing.If the Zerg have something like the Federation, they don't even need to be equated with the Federation, even if they are an era behind, at this moment the entire civilization that has explored the universe has only one option: escape.

They had already detected the direction of the swarm's advance shortly afterwards, which was the core of the entire alliance's defense system and where all the industrial bases used to "block" the zerg invasion were located.The Zerg's rudimentary super-light speed navigation system was completely unable to prevent their prying eyes. Based on the information obtained from previous research, the alliance's technical staff could even predict where the insects would end up after they left the Zerg-dominated area.

Faced with such a huge swarm of insects, even the Alliance could not remain indifferent. The Alliance fleet began to assemble, preparing to intercept and "defend the enemy from outside."

…………

In Zerg 2641, all parties that had experienced decades of silence launched a fierce battle in the barren cosmic belt between galaxies.

The cause of this war was that the Alliance used its technological advantages to forcibly interrupt the progress of the insect swarms, forcing them to show their presence here and fight the opponent.

To be honest, from a strategic perspective, this was very unfavorable for the Zerg, but Zero happily accepted the other party's "invitation to fight." As soon as the war began, all the Zerg swarms began to be mobilized and once again moved to the front in large numbers. Assembled, Zero is even prepared to spend tens or even hundreds of years fighting the opponent here!

As the movements within the Zerg's territory became clearer, the Alliance's invasions of the Zerg's "homeland" quickly became more frequent.

The swarms that were advancing and gathering began to be attacked and hindered by the opponent's small fleets. A large number of wormhole passages were also being destroyed and destroyed in a planned way. Suddenly, the alliance seemed to start a war in the territory of the zerg that almost covered the entire planet. Domain “chaos”.

This did not go beyond Zero's expectations. Instead, it gave him a clearer understanding of the extent to which the Zerg had been penetrated by the opponent. However, it was undeniable that this did cause a lot of trouble for the frontline support of the Zerg.

The war in the desolate cosmic zone was still an almost one-sided situation. From the perspective of battle losses, the number of losses of the insect swarm began to soar as soon as the war began, and there was no sign of turning in a straight line all the way up.

Everything seems to be the same as when the two sides fought for the first time, the same one-sided defeat, the same crushing, but if you look at the battlefield locally, you can easily find that the insect swarm is already able to control the enemy in a small area. Destroy the opponent's ships through large-scale encirclement and suppression of warships.

It was not like before that the opponent's defense system was overloaded and collapsed before being destroyed, but it was really through powerful firepower output that it broke through the opponent's defense and turned these powerful warships into space junk!

This is a qualitative change, which is enough to prove that in the hundreds of years since they met, the gap between the two sides has not been further widened, but has been greatly reduced!Judging from the battle damage ratio, compared to the opponent who was unscathed during the first battle, in the four Ori months since the war started, the number of Alliance warships directly destroyed by the insect swarm by seizing the opportunity has exceeded four digits!

Of course, the number of Zerg units that sacrificed their lives for this was thousands or tens of thousands times higher, but it still did not change Zero's joyful mood.

You know, looking at the level of productivity shown by the opponent now, the loss of four-digit warships is no longer an insignificant thing. Those advanced warships, accompanied by powerful performance, are even more difficult to build. and more complex production processes, which require massive resource consumption.

Compared with "cheap products" like the Zerg that only need enough resource supply to grow on their own, even the former main battleships that are facing elimination are also real resource hogs, and they still need to face follow-up maintenance after the construction is completed. Wait, it is also a huge consumption of energy and resources.

It can be said that although the Alliance fleet's record is amazing, if all the losses of both sides are quantified, the gap between the two can be further narrowed.

And this is very clear to the alliance officers who command the operations remotely.Especially in the hearts of senior generals such as Nuoqi, the haze has begun to spread.

Mira is like this, and so is the Zerg. They are advancing so rapidly, can the Alliance really stop them?Although the Alliance still has an undisputed strategic advantage over the Zerg, anyone can easily detect this through comparison.

The advantage is shrinking rapidly as time goes by!
