Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 312 Changes in the situation

The mass deaths of the Zerg made Zero very concerned. Although the expansion of the Zerg swarm has not stopped, Zero and the Cerebrates have investigated almost all possible causes of such incidents in just 17 Ori months. It’s a pity!
This includes the gene combination that the Cerebrates can never make mistakes, as well as the expression direction of the Zerg gene sequence.

These are all possibilities that can be done internally to directly and silently lead to the death of individual Zerg individuals. In fact, there are only a few possibilities, but in this self-examination operation, which can be said to be inquisitive, nothing was found. .

The gene expression of the Zerg units has been sorted out by Sars many years ago. In the process of the Zerg's continuous development, the Zerg has put forward various requirements for each Zerg species at different times, and has experienced the transformation of generations of Cerebrates. Nowadays, a complex and orderly ethnic sequence is roughly presented.

After so many years of operation, such a problem has never occurred. What is surprising is that even if the genetic sequence of the original Zerg unit is deliberately assembled and hatched, there are still people who died suddenly when the incident occurred. individual.

After some efforts, Zero focused his attention as much as possible on these individuals who were specially hatched as experimental subjects, and paid close attention to their status through the special connection between himself and them.

To be honest, it is very laborious to concentrate on hundreds of millions of individuals at the same time, feel their "feelings", and look for changes that may exist at that moment, just like the number of Zerg today It is so huge, and it is impossible for Zero to notice every subtle change like he could pay attention to every individual at any time and at any time when the group was weak.

He was able to control the macroscopically easily, but as for being as detailed as paying attention to the life fluctuations of each specific Zerg individual at the same time and paying attention to what they were doing at every moment, Zero was indeed beyond his capabilities.In fact, as the Supreme Lord, He does not need to do this.

Of course, the growth of the Zerg over the years has also brought many subtle benefits to Ling, allowing him to do this now, and at the same time include all of the hundreds of millions of "primitive insect species" in meticulous "observations".

However, even so, when some of the individuals died suddenly, Zero still did not feel anything abnormal.

Regarding this conclusion, Zero was very sure that he would not be wrong.Those bugs were completely defenseless against Zero. That kind of obedience and closeness had been something Zero had become accustomed to over the years, and there was no way he could make any mistakes.

If Zero paid attention, even if they died in the war, there would definitely be some instinctive "thinking" changes at that moment, but this time there was no change at all.

It was as if they were on the most ordinary day, obeying the instructions without any change, but they suddenly lost their lives.There was no sign at all, and there were no subsequent changes. He just died calmly.

Zero couldn't think of any way to do this. Those attacks were either massive or silent. Zero had seen many of them during the Zerg's wars over the years.

But no matter how hidden they are, no matter what method they use, as long as they attack the body of the Zerg unit, there will be traces to follow, and it is impossible for him to be unaware of it.

However, this time, he really didn't find anything unusual, not at all!

Having ruled out problems at the genetic level within the Zerg, and now ruling out the possibility of external attacks, Zero was a little confused as to what the problem was.

Thirty-one Ori months have passed since the first death of an individual Zerg that caught Zero's attention. It's not that long, but it's not that short either.

While promoting the development of space science and technology and further improving existing technologies, the Zerg scientific research base under the command of Todd also took action to study this phenomenon for more than [-] Oridays, but the final results were only one.

They are not attacked on any physical level.

Ling already knew this conclusion. In other words, their research for so long has not yielded any valuable clues.

Under deep thought, Zero suddenly thought of Mira, but then quietly gave up.

I think there shouldn't be any problems on its side. After all, although those mechanical warships are not inferior to the Zerg combat units, they are lifeless things after all. In the final analysis, they are just dead objects, and the only life is Mira herself.

Zero didn't think it would die from this, but to be on the safe side, he still had to observe it. Seriously speaking, although there was no alliance between Mira and the swarm in the previous war, there was a partial alliance.

And if this change can even affect it, then Zero must consider worse plans. For example, is his own safety also under threat? !

Fortunately, the result did not slip to the worst direction. Judging from the information obtained from the Zerg explorers, in the star field occupied by the mechanical fleet, Mira's actions are still active, without any signs of suspension or chaos.

"Maybe it can help in this matter?" Zero suddenly came up with this idea. In terms of possibility, existence like Mira does have certain advantages, but Zero still quickly pinched it. Stop this thought.

There is almost no direct communication between the two parties. This is only one aspect. More importantly, if you are not afraid of inferring other existences with the greatest malice, Zero is not sure that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Mira.

If it was the culprit, it would be ridiculous to ask for help.At least Zero would not do this until the threat to the Zerg did not reach a certain level. ………………………………

Just as Zero was searching for the cause of the incident within the Zerg, the same incident had caused an uproar in the Veggie Empire!

If the death of hundreds of millions or even billions of ordinary Zerg individuals is just a drop in the bucket to Zero and is completely insignificant at this stage, then the bizarre death of hundreds of thousands of individuals at the same time is absolutely terrifying to the Vege Empire. !
Some of these people may be talking loudly, some may be eating at the table, or they may be sleeping. It used to be just an ordinary or important day in their lives, but in a blink of an eye it became their death!
Hundreds of thousands of intelligent beings came to an end in an instant. Death has nothing to do with their identity and status, power or moral character, whether they are strong or old, weak or noble, dignitaries or civilians, powerful or powerful. It makes no difference at that moment whether he is as humble as an ant, or what kind of ideas he holds, what kind of beliefs he adheres to, and what state he is in.

The most important thing is that this kind of thing happens every once in a while, and the number obviously shows an increasing trend!
After that seemingly insignificant "experimental accident", the entire Vege Empire quickly entered another round of crisis, and this time, their superficial knowledge of this device could not even play a single role!
When the last "curse" incident occurred, the source could still be found, but this time, in order to end the crisis, the old experimental site and the entire landmass were physically eliminated at the first opportunity. .

But things show no signs of stopping at all, and instead intensify!
In just a few years, for the Vegeans in the interstellar age, this period of time is just a small node in their life journey, but they never thought that it could be qualified to become a turning point for the entire civilization. !

The Vergis no longer care about exerting pressure on Korva or the Hero Federation in the border star field. The loss of personnel within the fleet is secondary, but just like 1000 years ago, when life is always in an unknown state, When under threat, even the most elite warriors cannot remain indifferent.

In just a few years, there has been a turmoil among the three major civilizations that have explored the universe.

The changes in the Vege Empire could not be hidden from those who were interested. The Hero Federation saw that the Vege troops on the border quickly retreated and began to shrink their troops without even showing any bluff. They were not even willing to cover up.

However, the Hero Federation, which had long had a feud, did not dare to launch an attack at this time. On the contrary, they also took the initiative to evacuate the two fleets deployed on the front line to indicate that they had no plans to launch an attack.

The Heroes have already figured out what exactly happened in the Veggie Empire, but at the same time they also know very well that this is by no means an opportunity, but a crisis!
The Federation indeed had plans for the "special means" attack on the Veggies. If the Veggie Empire really targeted the Federation during the last conflict, they would have sufficient means to deal with it.

However, that was based on the last "curse" incident, and the current situation is completely different!
Nowadays, even the Veegis themselves, who have studied this deeply, are somewhat unable to control the situation and are forced to start a strategic contraction to focus on the internal crisis. If the Federation chooses to take advantage of the fire at this time, it will inevitably usher in the most violent counterattack of the Veegis. Said that once the other party is in a desperate situation and wants to drag the federation into the water, then both parties are likely to fall into the same situation!

One mistake could endanger the entire civilization!
Such a risk is too great. Although the matter occurred within the Vege Empire, at this moment, both the Hero Federation and the Korva Empire are looking for a solution to the matter!After all, no one can be sure that once things continue to deteriorate, will the desperate Vege people choose to make a desperate move and drag them into the water?

Judging from Weggie's usual style, when that time comes, this won't even be a choice, but something that will inevitably happen!

They have no obligation to help Weggie solve problems, but they must have the ability to solve problems!
In the past years, the three major civilizations in the explored universe have jointly formed a relatively stable ruling system. The mutual restraint and restriction between them is the basis for maintaining basic stability in the entire star field. Now, this basis Under another crisis of Weegee, it began to be shaken from the root!
Korva is also cautious. Both parties are trying their best to obtain relevant research results from the beginning of chaos in Vege, but these related activities have all suffered setbacks.

Technology that could once be called a "strategic deterrent" by Vege, even in this special period, cannot be easily stolen. As for the so-called exploratory joint research proposals at the diplomatic level, all were rejected by the Vege people. .

Therefore, the Federation and Korva could only get some "leftover materials" from the residual impact of the incident, and combined their respective "preparations" after the first incident to explore the secrets.

Of course, regarding the search for the origin of the original structure, the three major civilizations have not relaxed their exploration of the outside world, especially in those star fields where life planets may exist. Their respective advance fleets frequently appear, no matter what the reason. For this purpose, they once again reached a rare agreement on this matter.

As for the dissolution of the previous alliance, and even the threat of the Zerg, they have been temporarily shelved at this moment, or the priority is not so high. After all, even if the Zerg invades, it will take quite a while, and if the local situation is not handled well, the situation will It can go in an extremely unfavorable direction in an instant!

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

Although time is still short, at this moment, there are already internal problems in the Vege Empire. The reasons are complicated, but the direct trigger is obvious-not long ago, a senior imperial minister died in office. Above, the cause of death is obvious.

This is the first, but it will never be the last!
Faced with such a situation, it is not known what the ambitious emperor who had just ascended the throne was thinking, but some extreme signs inevitably appeared among the top officials of the empire.

Although it is not difficult to suppress such signs at present, everyone knows that as things continue to worsen, it is unknown whether those who originally stood firm can still maintain their position, and whether they even survive depends on "luck"!
The elite imperial army cannot quell such "civil strife", and strategists with strategic vision cannot solve such problems. If the empire has any other way to deal with this matter, it can only continue on the research path of the past. .

Of course, problems that could not be solved 1000 years ago may not be solved successfully now. Even if they are solved, it is still unclear whether the problem of the empire can be solved. But in addition to continuing to look for the kind of planet that has been tampered with and starting to study it from scratch , only this road looks better!

Nowadays, every time the "curse" occurs, the number of people lost is not too much. To be honest, the empire can still afford such losses, but the chaos it causes is unprecedented. The turmoil and losses indirectly caused are difficult to count. Controlling the situation on hundreds of colonies and major planets consumes countless manpower and material resources!
And this is just the beginning!
Under the mobilization order issued directly by the emperor, the imperial scientific research talents in various star regions began to be assigned corresponding scientific research tasks in a planned manner. Although they did not even have much clue, it was undoubtedly right to pool their wisdom.

The Vege Empire, which currently has a main population of 16 trillion, has a strong scientific research foundation. It can assemble millions of scientific research talents in various disciplines with just one mobilization!Even if it is a true elite with only one in a million available talents, there are tens of millions!
In this era, they are destined to be the mainstay of the entire empire, and only they can hope to overcome this problem that has hindered the empire for thousands of years!

As for external enemies, Weegee can no longer even care about it. Some loss of interests must be postponed at this time. As long as the foundation of the empire is not touched, resolving its own crisis will always be the first priority of the Weegee Empire. Of course, in In the Imperial General Staff, these real elite think tanks of the Empire have also prepared a plan to "die together"!

The Weegis, proud and paranoid, have always been out of place among the three major civilizations, but they are able to rely on their powerful force to make no civilization ignore its influence.When such a civilization faces a crisis, it will never lack the courage to fight. As long as Korva or Hero dare to come, no race or civilization in the entire explored universe will be able to stay away!
