Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 330 Attack Orui
What exactly that thing is is a question that Zero and others have been exploring. Unfortunately, due to an accident that year, nothing was left except the birth of the Zerg.

Zero knew in his heart that this should be the fundamental reason for the birth of the Zerg, a race that was special enough from all aspects. This reason should not be his own existence. After all, what he led back then was just a group of ants.

Maybe the termites swallowed that stone back then, and now they will evolve into the worms. Cerebrates will also be born. Of course, they may experience many unnecessary setbacks and troubles, but Zero never feels that what he brings to the swarm is Only positive feedback.

Time has passed, and it is meaningless to deduce what happened back then, but now when it appears in the Zerg's field of vision in this way, Zero cannot ignore it at all.

Perhaps the rise of Korva is due to its existence, and it may even be Zero's only chance to figure out the reason for the emergence of the Zerg. In any case, its meaning to the Zerg is extremely special.

get it!
This is undoubtedly the first reaction that appears in Zero's mind, and he will not deliberately suppress this idea.

What is certain is that this "stone" has an absolutely special meaning even within Colva.Once the Korva Empire finally chooses the same path as the Veggie Empire under the pressure of the Zerg, then the Zerg is actually very likely to achieve nothing.

Therefore, at least at this stage, Zero cannot force them too much. Otherwise, given the size of the universe, once the opponent starts a random jump, it will be impossible for the Zerg to find this thing again.

To be on the safe side, continuing the previous strategy and continuously strengthening the penetration of Colva while maintaining pressure on the front line is the safest plan.

As for the huge insect swarm that was mobilized before, since they cannot launch a decisive battle in a hurry, they should have a place to go.In this super galaxy cluster divided and occupied by the three major civilizations, the only macro-target left is the Hero Federation. If they don't take action, the swarm will have no more targets.

As a result, the insect swarm that had just concentrated its resources to complete a large-scale jump began to adjust its direction again, moving the enemy that was supposed to be the last to attack forward one position.

But at this time, no one expected that after zero readjusted the plan, it still failed to be fully implemented.

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

In fact, Mira has found a way to break the situation.It has improved its own way of attacking troops. The original production line assembly was eliminated without mercy on the front line. Instead, it was replaced by one that was just put into use recently. It was obviously borrowed from the "nearby breeding method" of the Zerg!
To put it simply, Mira no longer pursues excellence in quality. During this stalemate stage, it begins to make the most of all the resources at hand, including those low-quality resources that are difficult to mine on the planet, which have become its way to strengthen its own strategy. The nourishment of strength.

And this is almost a revolutionary progress!The pressure on the Hiero Federation's defensive line has increased visibly.Although these newly built mechanical battleships are "defective" to Mira and are undisputed strategic garbage, they also retain considerable attack capabilities. The most important thing is that they perfectly satisfy Mira's needs. Today's needs.

Cheap, fast, and threatening!
Under this kind of "shoddy construction", it only takes a few dozen Oridays for Mira to complete a wild development of a rocky planet from the crust to the core, thereby obtaining tens of billions of "junk battleship".

Although they are said to be junk warships, their role on the battlefield is not "junk" at all. The increasing losses of the Hero Federation and the retreating front are proof!
Mira seems to have found the right use of her violent troops, but this is not enough. The space defense technology of the Hero Federation makes the space jump that has been conquered become a decoration within a certain range. Once it enters the opponent's defense range, , whether it is the insect swarm or Mira's mechanical battleship, the maneuverability will drop by more than two levels!

This is undoubtedly fatal, and it is also the greatest confidence that the Hero Federation can sustain until now. Although it is very difficult on the battlefield, they have enough time. After all, its strategic depth is beyond anything the Zerg have encountered in the past. No race can compare!
With the Hero Federation's "jewels ahead", the Korva Empire, which also resisted the invasion of the insect swarm, naturally had no reason to abandon it. Under this special defense, they struggled to resist the joint attack of the insect swarm and Mira, and passed the time. Move back little by little.

Zero actually doesn't care much about the passage of time. Time will not be on the side of the enemy. This is a fact that Zero has determined a long time ago. As time goes by, the Zerg will only become more powerful and far exceed theirs. enemy.

But you can never underestimate an intelligent race, especially an intelligent race that has almost reached a desperate situation. This is also the truth that Zero has always pursued.

Facing the biological invasion of the Zerg, the Korva Empire just gave up and reacted quite well, but the Hero Federation once again gave Zero a surprise.

To be honest, the Zerg are no strangers to micro-level warfare. They are even using this method to infiltrate the Korva Empire now, but this is the first time they have suffered such a large-scale micro-invasion.

The Zerg warships suffered microscopic mechanical attacks from unknown directions. To be precise, they are probably called nanobots by intelligent races. After they invaded the Zerg's body, they used the substances in the Zerg's body as nutrients to expand and reproduce crazily. In their bodies and The Zerg's own "immune system" has launched a continuous war!

This was an invisible war, but at the beginning, the swarm did suffer a lot.

Zero never denied his failures, nor did he bother to whitewash the fact of defeat, but there was never a single failure that truly devastated the Zerg.

Those micro-level invasions paralyzed tens of billions of large Zerg units on the spot, and they were completed in a very short period of time.

Then the enemy launched the largest counterattack in history without any surprise, which directly caused more Zerg units to be buried under the stars!

Those are hundreds of billions of large Zerg units, and their combined mass exceeds that of a star!On the long front of [-] light-years between the Zerg and the Hero Federation, they were slaughtered by each other without even being able to make an effective counterattack.

This battle once made the Zerg's pressure on the Hero Federation disappear on the front line, and even the Zerg swarms coming to support from the rear became quite defensive.

At the same time, it also allowed the entire Hero Federation to sweep away the haze since the war began. This is undoubtedly a great victory and worthy of celebration by the entire civilization!

There is nothing difficult for Zero to accept failure. Even if it is such a huge loss, the Zerg can withstand it. To put it bluntly, this is not a big deal for the entire Zerg.But the opponent's attack method still made Zero wary.It is true that the Zerg species have also made great achievements at the microscopic level, but the vulnerability of microscopic insect species in the face of these nanomachines cannot be ignored.

The insect swarm at the micro level is far inferior to its opponent in terms of cooperation and "individual strength". The self-defense and attack of the insect "immune system" generally rely on unparalleled numbers and " Acting on the instinct to exclude dissidents, this is the root cause of this failure!
To be honest, mechanical creations still have many advantages over biological systems. Just like Mira compared to the Zerg, under the same conditions, the Zerg is very likely to be no match for the other party. If the Zerg is not "immune" to the other party's information bombing, With the same number, they might even be crushed by Mira.

This is the limitation of "racial talent". There is nothing that cannot be admitted. The Zerg also has its own advantages that Mira does not have. This is one of the reasons why the two sides were almost on the same starting line but the Zerg is now almost impossible to be destroyed. one.

Over the years, since the Zerg developed their own "immune system" on their home planet Orui, they have been directly attacked at the microscopic level only a handful of times. It was the Zerg lurkers that really allowed the microscopic insect species to flourish. Born to attack and penetrate.Therefore, it can be said that at the micro-defense level, the Zerg have not made much progress since 2000.

Therefore, this disastrous defeat was no accident. Zero believed that the Heroes must have conducted detailed research to confirm that the Zerg had weaknesses in this area, and then launched such a targeted war in one fell swoop, with great results. Remarkable.

Victory in this battle will at least allow the civilization of the Hero Federation to persist under the attack of the Zerg for more than ten years in the future!
Of course, this was only because the insect swarm was caught off guard and the enemy could achieve such remarkable results. If they had been prepared in advance, the enemy's plan would definitely not have been so smooth, but there is no doubt that this kind of attack could silently break through the insect swarm's defense and actually cause damage. The manner of killing is indeed a threat, a threat that needs to be addressed.

The Zerg intelligent species have proposed two plans. One is macro defense, which is to improve the external protection capabilities of the main combat units of the Zerg, such as strengthening energy shields, force field shields, etc. As long as they are willing to invest, this will definitely work. It can be used, but it is obviously very expensive and difficult to prevent.It's not that Zerg can't afford it, but carrying the extra mass will cause the entire Zerg strategy to need to be recalibrated.

The other is still the old method, which is to respond at the corresponding level, strengthen the "immune system" of large insect species, and ensure that microscopic insect species can "defend enemies from outside". At least, it is necessary to ensure that large insect species do not lose their combat effectiveness. .This plan is not expensive, but it is very difficult on a technical level.

After all, the Hero Federation only appears weak against the Zerg, not really weak!Their overall technology has so far surpassed that of the Zerg, so it would not be surprising to take any countermeasures against them.

Of course, there is a third option, that is, no matter how reckless it is, as long as the number is large enough, all the opponent's tactics will be difficult to work. After all, the Zerg itself is not immune to this attack method, but is subject to a large number of "in the body" When it is lost, various "performances" will be greatly reduced. It is not fatal for a moment. You can still achieve your goal by paying some price.

But as Zero, it is difficult for him to adopt this last plan. Zerg units can die and are never afraid of consumption. However, when there is a choice, Zero still hopes that things will be simpler, and today's various conditions have led to This plan requires a large number of events to implement and is not cost-effective.

Nanomachines, the insect swarm is indeed slightly weak at this level, but this is Mira's strength!It is not necessary to ask it for help directly. After all, this is not the first time that everyone has "learned" from each other. There is no need to be alienated from it.

No one would refuse to become stronger. No matter what the method is, no matter which aspect it is enhanced, it is good.After all, the Zerg also possess the creativity of intelligent life. What the enemy can do, the Zerg may not be able to do. It is just a matter of time and cost.

The main force of the insect swarm began to retreat backwards, which put almost all the pressure on Mira. Of course, only the large combat units of the insect swarm retreated, and Zero still monitored the entire battlefield extremely closely.

The Hero Federation did not take the opportunity to "recover the lost territory", which was very wise. Those star fields did not have much value. For the Hero Federation, occupying them now would only become a burden.

This sudden defeat caused the Zero Plan to be silent for a while, and the main force of the insect swarm that was about to rush to the battlefield also began to die down.While trying to continue to invade Korva quietly and complete your biggest goal in this war, strive to get more from the battlefield.

Of course, it is also to accumulate and transport more high-level energy to meet subsequent possibly more intense war tasks.

Hand over the Hero Federation to Mira, focus on getting what he wants from Korva, and then launch a war. This is Zero's current plan. After the previous two plans were interrupted due to various accidents, he We are simply no longer anxious about this. When it comes to avenging the "one-shot revenge" that was suppressed for more than 1000 years, the Zerg have basically achieved it, and the pain they have caused to the other party is much more serious. As for territorial expansion, Zero is now There is no deep pursuit.

The insect swarm will naturally advance, at least the star field in front of them will eventually be conquered, there is no doubt about this.

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

Perhaps the early evacuation of the Vege Empire made Zero feel that the three major civilizations were actually nothing more than this, or perhaps it was that Vege was seriously injured in the various previous turmoils and had to choose to leave, but at this moment, even if it had already After stopping large-scale active attacks and retaining only the most basic war pressure, the Zerg were still attacked again, and this time it was the Korva Empire that launched the attack.

And their target is Ori!

Zero still cares a little about this planet that has special significance to the Zerg race. Sass and the following brainworms all have special feelings for Ori.

Even before the war with the three major civilizations officially started, Brainwormsk had been creating its own "home" based on the Oriye template, which is enough to see what special significance this small living planet has within the Zerg.

But now, it has received the most direct attack. Although the swarm tried its best to stop it, six anti-matter cannons still bombarded Orui head-on. At least more than [-] grams of anti-matter was sent directly into the ground. Deep in the depths, the Zerg's losses were second to none, and most importantly, it almost caused a devastating blow to the planet that has been completely restored to life over the years!

Magma is spewing violently, the oceans are evaporating, the green forests no longer exist, a large number of creatures are dying in patches, and the entire planet is a scene of destruction.

Looking down from space, it looks like weeping under the stars...

Zero didn't know why Korva's fleet would do such a meaningless thing. Doing so would not have any effect on the war except possibly angering the Zerg, but since the other party had already done it, and indeed let him and the Cerebrates The things they cherish have become what they are now. If the Zerg don't do something, Zero feels that his calm mind will not be clear.
