Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 327 Where to Go
This can be regarded as a valuable object. For Zero, both the personnel carried inside it and the scientific research ship itself have extremely high research value. For Mira, the value of individual organisms Secondly, it can only obtain information through questioning, but this scientific research ship has a higher significance to it than the Zerg.

In the end, Mira took away the ship body and promised to share the research results, while the Zerg obtained a total of 31 Hero Federation people and promised to share intelligence.

They may not all be scientific researchers, but they must all have the information that the Zerg needs. At this stage, Zero needs the technology of the Hero Federation and needs them to provide more valuable targets.

The swarm continued to advance and encountered the federal fleet that came to support. Mira took a stance and intended to launch an attack, but the opponent chose to avoid the battle.

Indeed, fighting Mira in such a deep space with no advantage, the chance of winning is extremely low.Today, the single combat power gap between the two sides still exists, but it is no longer enough to give the Hero Federation an overwhelming advantage. On the contrary, the Zerg and Mira can use their absolute numerical advantage to complete the victory over the three major civilizations in the open environment. of crushing!
Therefore, the current wars mainly stay within the galaxy. Relying on planets and defenses, the three major civilizations can often achieve their goals at the minimum cost.

But all this doesn't make much sense now. The swarms are penetrating extremely deeply, the zerg mother nests are always advancing, and the number of zerg units hatched from their bodies is counted in the billions every day.

Zero even plans to establish the Zerg mother nest in front of the important star fields of the three major civilizations to concentrate the resources of the surrounding galaxies so that the mobilization of the Zerg swarm can be completed most conveniently.But doing so would most likely invite a targeted attack from the opponent, which was not cost-effective in all seriousness, so Zero chose its backup plan.

In those coordinate areas that have been accurately locked through intelligence, the insect swarm is currently advancing at fixed points. It must be said that at this stage, especially when the new generation of Dyson spheres have not yet been fully rolled out, it is still a bit luxurious to mobilize the insect swarm from the rear to participate in the war. Yes, seeing that the hard-converted high-level energy was being consumed like running water, but it was still far from being able to satisfy the Zerg at full capacity, Zero still felt that the policy of incubating nearby was more suitable for the current Zerg.

As for the huge swarms of insects that have turned one planetary system after another into a truly barren land, they will continue to move to the periphery, carrying the resources they have collected.

If these star fields were just barren before they were developed, after they left, they could only be called dilapidated.

Those things that are like space "dust", who would have thought that just a few decades ago they could be combined to form a complete planet?Even gaseous planets are often unable to escape their vicious hands. Such planets are often the main source of conventional energy for the Zerg in the early stages, so they will be violently exploited from the very beginning.

Although they were not taken seriously in the later period due to their cost-effectiveness, their mass would often shrink during the decades or hundreds of years that the Zerg exploited the entire planetary system.

Just like this time, the insect swarm almost built its base at the "doorstep" of the three major civilizations, and the first thing it extracted was the energy material of the gaseous planet.

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

Not surprisingly, the Hero Federation people captured from deep space brought a lot of useful information to the Zerg.The first is space technology. In the knowledge system that Brainworm obtained from him, although the theory has not been fully explained clearly, a large framework has been very clear. It is obvious that although these people are not scholars who specialize in space science, they The level of cognition and knowledge is enough to bring enough information to the Zerg.

For brainworms, that's enough!
Before the complete civilization technology is actually obtained, such a prompt is already quite complete. It may allow the Zerg to complete the pursuit of the Hero Federation in just a few decades!

As for the anti-space defense system on the scientific research ship that they encountered before, these people only have some speculations and conjectures, and no systematic conclusions. Obviously, this should be a secret of the Hero Federation and will not be disclosed to the general public. .

Zero is actually not that interested in defensive technology, but since the other party can make the space within a certain range so stable, it is very likely that it can directly eliminate the space jump of the insect swarm, and maybe it can also limit the insect swarm. Based on many actions based on space technology, this is not just a question of whether the Zerg defense can be strengthened, but may also involve the strategies of the entire three major civilizations.

Why was this technology not used on such tragic battlefields before?

Zero believes that Mira will be able to get a lot of information about this.

At least what the Zerg can do, Zero has been obtained. The Zerg swarm has launched a new round of activities under the planning of the Cerebrate. Skok even proposed a raid on Korva's home planet.

Honestly, it's doable, at least actionable.Although the insect swarm has not yet arrived in the opponent's central star field, the coordinates are very clear. It is just a matter of distance.But as long as you jump, you can always reach it.

Zero knew why it was so persistent in pursuing the Korva people, and even planned to launch an attack on the enemy's capital star field after only winning the first large-scale war.

But he didn't mean to object. This was the right thing to do. It wasn't just the Korva Empire, but also the Vege Empire and the Hero Federation. After getting specific information, such an action could be planned.

After all, in war, no one stipulates that the war must be pushed all the way from the border to the hinterland. The insect swarms are not unintelligent beasts. Going straight to Huanglong and destroying the other party's administrative system is undoubtedly the most convenient means of war.

But considering the capital star regions of the three major civilizations, Zero ultimately focused on something.It is not Korva who is obsessed with revenge in Sk. It is too far away. Although there are plans at present, conventional methods are still used.

Based on the information currently possessed by the swarm, if one had to choose a focus in the invasion of the three major civilizations, there is no doubt that Zero would choose Veggie.

Not only because they have suffered heavy losses, the huge empire may collapse at any time, but also because, in terms of territorial scope, Veggie is the closest to the direction of the Zerg's advance.Even from a certain perspective, the claimed territory of the Veggie Empire is blocking the Zerg!
There is nothing special about choosing them among the three major civilizations, it’s just that you have to get past them.

In the previous large-scale war with the Veggies, Zero could see that the opponent was powerful. Although he had to retreat with heavy losses in the end, among the three major civilizations, this was the most powerful one the Zerg had encountered. Strong combat power.They were indeed defeated by the insect tide tactics. The number that would never decrease was like a chasm, enough to drive any intelligent race crazy!
………………Zerg 3742, after the last concentrated large-scale attack and victory, the Zerg once again launched a larger-scale campaign, and this time their main goal was very clear , it’s not the Hero Federation that provokes Mira, nor the Korva Empire that has a “death feud” with a few brainworms, it’s just Veggie!

The insect swarm first captured the barren galaxies on the way forward like a powerful force, and then launched a small-scale battle with the Vege Empire in front of an industrial galaxy.

Shortly thereafter, the main force of the Zerg arrived, and the war escalated rapidly!
What was originally a battle for a planetary system quickly evolved into an interstellar war that spread across the entire galaxy!

The Veggie Empire seems not to know what it means to give in, nor does it seem to have the slightest concept of exchanging space for time. Wherever the insect swarm advances, as long as they can intercept it in time, and as long as the fleet still has combat power, war will inevitably break out!
And this also caused the war started by Zero to spread rapidly in the shortest possible time!
Zero knows that the central star field of the Veggie Empire is actually only tens of millions of light years away from here. Although this length is always increasing, if there is no obstacle, the insect swarm will be able to reach the distance in just a few years. He will cross this unimaginable astronomical length within a short time and ignite the war throughout the Veggie Empire!

However, Zero felt that if the Veggies maintained this intensity of war, they might lose the ability to resist before the insect swarm reached their most prosperous central area.

All this will not affect the progress of the swarm, and the war throughout the entire galaxy will not stop because of this. Since the Veggies are so tough, Zero has no reason not to support them.

This time the offense and defense were exchanged, the Zerg were the invaders, and many small actions made by the three major civilizations within the Zerg, including but not limited to launching raids on the support fleet behind the Zerg, or destroying the Zerg development area, etc., were completely ignored by Zero. .

The insect swarm has no intention of defending at all. Except for the more important scientific research units hiding in the darkness, Zero has no reservations. The insect swarm has suffered great losses, but that is only relative. Apart from wars, the insect swarm has never stopped. Come down and live your own expansion.

Outside the front line, a large number of Cerebrates are doing this. The losses within the Zerg are even far less than the crazy expansion outside.

It is said that destruction is far easier than construction, but the Zerg have endured large-scale harassment and destruction by their enemies and continued to increase their size.

This may also be regarded as the charm of mathematics. Once the base is up, as long as the Zerg does not take the initiative to "squander", it is actually very difficult to be destroyed.

Of course, in addition to the Vege Empire, the Insect Swarm was not idle when facing Korva and the Hero Federation. It was just that the main direction of attack was not here, which did not mean that the Insect Swarm was not doing anything in these directions.

Even if it is not a key attack area, the size of the Zerg fleet is still terrifying, and there is even a brainworm named Dagos who is personally stationed to coordinate all battles in the rear and front lines.

Even if it is just a so-called "partial force", the insect swarm is still victorious.Except for the swarm of insects that crossed the starry sky and went straight to the distance in the eternal darkness, the insect mother nest has completely taken root here.The star field that originally provided resources for the three major civilizations has become nourishment for the Zerg. At this point, it is no longer possible for them to expel the Zerg swarm from here.

Of course, the worst thing is that of the Vege Empire. After only nine Ori months of total war, the empire had to shrink its front line. It’s not that the Vege people are not rich enough, nor that they can’t win. Under such intensity, They just can't run out of money.

During the nine Ori months of all-out war, the Vege Empire's total individual losses were only 64, which was nothing at all. After all, those participating in the war were not citizens of the empire.

But in addition to the number of battleships, they have lost nearly a hundred years of inventory!A total of more than 500 billion warships of various types were destroyed by the Zerg in this war, and among them there were even "old ships" from the old era.It can be seen that Weige's production capacity has reached its limit in a short period of time. If we continue to fight on all fronts like this, Weige's wealth will be exhausted!
The Zerg's losses were more than fifteen times theirs!But the individual losses of hundreds of billions may be very important to a "partial army", but in this direction, it is not a big number for the main force of the Zerg.

For this war, Zero mobilized the insect swarms accumulated in the nearby star field for decades, and even added a steady stream of support from the rear. In numbers alone, the insect swarms could overwhelm the three major civilizations and fight!

At this moment, Wei Ji was filled with gloom and gloom.The human losses were insignificant at all, but in the face of such huge pressure from the Zerg, although the Empire had always been wealthy, it felt quite unable to withstand it.

Those were tens of billions of warships. The empire's inventory for many years was all destroyed in just a few months!

During the war, the Empire's various tactics achieved remarkable results. On local battlefields, they had been achieving tactical victories, even causing casualties to the insect swarms that were more than ten times their own!But what's the use?The other party has never hurt the root at all!

Although internal and external troubles have calmed down under the pressure of foreign invasions, which can be regarded as relieving the empire and even the three major civilizations from considerable worries, at this moment, no matter how crazy the Veggies are, they cannot express their confidence in defeating the Zerg. Facing the Zerg swarm, Moving forward, they must make some changes to their strategy.

Apart from anything else, even if the empire's production lines are already expanding at full capacity, no matter how many wars of this scale happen, the inventory will be cleared out. The most desperate thing is that these efforts have not had the desired effect. The swarm is still moving forward in a massive way, regardless of whether they stop it or not!
Either, find a way to stop the insect swarm before they reach the true core of the empire, or the empire should consider its retreat shortly after the war begins when it still has some remaining strength.

As the war continues, this idea is no longer limited to the Veggie Empire. If they can stop the swarm from advancing, billions of core citizens will not become "capitals" under the swarm's rule, so The conclusion, at least the immediate conclusion, has become increasingly obvious in the aftermath of the ongoing war.

They have tried, but no matter whether it is a deep space "field battle" or relying on favorable conditions to counterattack, they can't stop the Zerg invasion.

This is not an ordinary civilized war. This is a "cleanup" launched by a race against all individuals in the explored universe. There will be no room for relaxation, and they have no so-called bargaining chips.

So where should civilization go from here?
