Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 341 New Order

Ruhl's experience can be called a fantasy, and even Zero himself can't stay calm!

"What is this? Time travel?! Other universes?!"

Zero was surprised. The recent discoveries seemed to go beyond the simplest knowledge he had formed over thousands of years, awakening memories from the beginning.

Maybe this is the essence of this world, maybe this is an area that should not be touched by the current scientific level of the Zerg, but no matter what, it has been placed in front of Zero, telling him that everything is a fact, this is the original nature of the universe All the inherent cognitions are arrogance towards this universe.

Exploring the unknown is what the Zerg have been doing since their birth, and they have grown and become stronger because of it. No matter where this space is, no matter what the changes in Sass's body represent, he will not give up research.

The exploration of the real universe will not stop for a moment. Zero still has many unknowns about where he is, including the study of dimensional changes, which seems to represent something unusual.

When you grow to a certain level, everything seems to be different. It has only been three hundred years since the three major civilizations disappeared from the sight of the Zerg. Zero feels that although the progress of the Zerg itself has made some progress, it has not fundamentally changed. , but everything they came into contact with made Zero change his original view of the entire universe little by little.

Perhaps, this world is bigger than He originally expected.

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

Shortly after Ruel woke up, the Zerg quickly began planning another exploration plan after the space storm.

Zero's requirement is to at least find a safe way and establish a complete and safe base there.

Of course, judging from Ruhr's early exploration results, this matter cannot be rushed. There are not a lot of resources there to supply the Zerg reproduction, and the passage of large groups of Zerg swarms is restricted by space storms. Zero wants to explore the back of this passage. In this place, which Ruhr calls the "abyss", these difficulties must be overcome first.

After absorbing some of the scientific and technological achievements of the three major civilizations, the Zerg have a relatively deep understanding of space, especially the scientific research information obtained from the Hero Federation, which is enough for the Zerg to take steps in the direction of "space containment" like them. Take a big step.

In the past few years since Ruhr entered the channel, the Zerg has actually made several solutions to the space storm problem that is hindering the insect swarm, and has already started trying.

Of course, some problems have not yet been solved, and it will take time to practice and verify the solution.

Before that, Zero needs to first send a small group of insects to establish a stable stronghold on the "opposite side" of the passage. Even if it is a little bit of movement, they must continue to obtain intelligence there.

Due to the particularity of the original wormhole passage, Zero is currently unable to truly transmit his will there, so intelligent units must be used to deal with possible problems, either brain worms, or individuals of other races that have been transformed into zerg.

Taken together, Ruhr is still more suitable.

According to the plan, before the Zerg can stably provide resources to enter there, Ruhr needs to figure out the basic properties of the "abyss" space. In the real universe, the Zerg at least has the ability to deal with the threats of abyssal creatures, and even if it is not good enough, it should have A certain level of self-preservation.

No matter what, since we have been exposed to the sight of the Zerg, if we don't figure it out, we will not feel at ease either from the perspective of the Zerg or from Zero's own point of view.

The desperate defense and deep fear shown by Zhuna, the energy life in the real universe, is enough to show that there is some connection between Zhuna and the abyss. Whether it really does not have wisdom, in the real universe What role it plays in it, these zeroes must be clarified, but no conclusion can be drawn from studying it alone. The insect swarm needs to continue to explore to obtain possible information that has never been obtained before.

Many things are gradually becoming complicated, but Zero is also enjoying it. Whether it is changes in dimensions, the emergence of spaces that have never been imagined, or new changes in the brainworms, they are all revealing the truth that the time bugs are curious about, even if this truth is unexpected enough.

…………

Ruhr once again led a few bugs into the "abyss" at the other end in a low-key manner. This time, it had no intention of "making trouble", at least not at this stage.

Establish a secret research base here and conduct continuous experiments to confirm the characteristics of this space. If possible, figure out the secrets of that kind of physical life and develop weapons against them. After the follow-up support from the Zerg arrives, we can completely stand Getting a firm foothold and launching a true exploration of this space is Ruhl’s purpose this time and for a long time to come.

Under the current situation of extremely limited resource supply, he needs to control this space, at least the situation near the exit, against the danger that may come at any time, to ensure that when the Zerg arrives here in large numbers in the future, the situation does not get out of control.

Space monitoring inevitably requires a stable environment, and may cause a lot of "movement", which is very likely to be discovered by the life that exists here. This is an inevitable risk that is almost unavoidable, and once something happens, it will be reckless. You have no other choice but to run for your life.

The Zerg's past strategy of establishing extensive bases is even less feasible here, which will only lead to greater exposure risks. In order to ensure his own safety to a certain extent, Ruhr relied on the support of the real universe that occasionally passed through the channel, and set up several devices that could emit greater "noise", so that the place where the actual research was conducted could attract attention and then divert the other party's attention. If you don't have enough strength, you can still provide some help for it to escape.

It was against this background that Ruhr gradually established a relatively mature research environment. Although it was very unstable and often had to face the pursuit of local life, he finally discovered some things that were completely different from the real universe. phenomenon, and monitor its specific information to collect data to provide support for subsequent research.

Calculated based on the time concept of the real universe, this took it fourteen Ori years, but Ruhl stayed in that space for at least twenty years!
  Perhaps this is the reason why Zero cannot bring his will here. Different time flow rates may cause him to feel seriously confused.

Of course, this is by no means the essential reason. Regarding this point, Zero still needs to continue to explore. While starting from the aspect of himself and the Zerg, he also analyzes it through in-depth research between the two. In a sense, the brainworm can also be said to be a part of Zero. As long as Ruhr returns to the real universe, Zero can get everything he wants to know, but after all, it is not as convenient and controllable as in the real universe.

If the basic rules are different, how can we have the same control over the Zerg units entering it as in the real universe? This is a problem that Zero himself needs to think about and solve.

If the current situation becomes the daily life of the Zerg in the future, then a state like zero will indeed be very inconvenient. What's more, He also really wants to see the place outside this universe with his own eyes!

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

Sass has basically controlled its sudden extra abilities, and now it is trying to understand and analyze this power. However, more than ten years have passed, and there has been little progress.

Maybe this is really because the Zerg's current scientific benchmark is not that advanced, or maybe this is simply a non-scientific event. No matter what, Zero accepts it. Feeling Sass's current "hands-on ability", he actually feels a little bit hopeful. , the so-called "extraordinary", in a sense, may be just a higher power. If Sass can analyze and copy it, then the ability it displays now will be just like the abilities displayed by the three major civilizations back then. Its defensive methods should not be able to block its attack.

This special method, tentatively called "psionic energy", has the ability to overcome space defenses and can even stabilize a certain range of space, thereby rendering space weapons ineffective against one's own side.

The long-standing issue of spears and shields will once again escalate to a completely different level, and space attacks will no longer be difficult to completely defend against.

Zero hopes that the Zerg will master the dimensional changes, and that spiritual energy can be used by the Zerg. He also hopes to understand the true appearance of the world so that all mysteries can be revealed.

Material elements and phenomena that are not known to the Zerg are always not easy to study. There are many unknown factors interfering with normal experiments. The Zerg needs to reverse the existing experimental concepts and processes and try to analyze them bit by bit.

To be honest, in terms of body strength, navigation methods, conventional attack methods, etc., the research of the Zerg has been relatively slow. This is mainly because the technology from the three major civilizations has been basically digested, and the Zerg needs to rely on these theoretical systems. the power to advance and develop.

This is of course much more difficult than plundering and digesting. Therefore, during this period of time, Zero is asking Todd to increase his research and guidance, prompting the intelligent race to cultivate a group of new talents who focus on "non-universe events" "Research, these people often have a wealth of knowledge accumulation, but at the same time they are not bound to the existing system, their ideas are unconstrained, and they love exploring the unknown.

The entire Zerg race is forming a special pattern little by little over a long period of time, and more and more individuals of the intelligent race fundamentally agree with this rule of the Zerg race.

Time can erase many ancient memories. In a sense, the Zerg are also "reconciling" with them little by little. Many individuals have become part of the Zerg. At the beginning, this assimilation was severely resisted, but Later, this became just a means of ensuring loyalty, nothing more.

Zero didn't really have much interest in controlling the minds of many intelligent individuals. Just after the war, it was necessary to use this method to reverse the overall atmosphere of the entire society, and they did become puppets in a sense. , but after the situation stabilized and the goal of zero was achieved, these means actually became a ladder of advancement in a sense.

Of course it will still be questioned, and Todd has not given up using this method to achieve his own goals at any time, but among the huge group, some people have chosen to accept it happily.

Under the rule of such a race, if some people have been numb for a long time, some people will naturally worship and even deify them.

They are still themselves, unlike what some old people say about losing themselves. This is mainly because Zero no longer needs to control their thoughts, but only needs to ensure that they do not harm the Zerg.

Swarms of insects are surging in the universe, and slowly, after the swarms of insects, intelligent races are re-entering the planet to survive.

They were either Velvets, Colossians, or Brochers. They gradually got out of the "prison" originally set by the Zerg and regained their fixed land.

A new order is quietly forming. All races whose civilizations were destroyed by the Zerg and have sufficient potential are undergoing the same process of resistance, suppression, submission, recognition, and integration.

These processes may have discrepancies and iterations, but in the end, quickly or slowly, they all lead to the same ending.

Various star fields under the rule of the swarm gradually gained a so-called "civilized atmosphere". There were desolate planets that were transformed under the leadership of Sk, and eventually became fertile ground for life. Relying on the swarm, they began to survive and develop relatively freely. The integration with the Zerg is becoming more and more profound. The technological products of these races, even if they are extremely unique, are often related to the Zerg.

Civilian ships are basically "produced" and supplied by the Zerg. As for military use, there is no need for that kind of thing.

Their lives are filled with the colors and figures of the Zerg. Each race is slowly turning into the shape of the Zerg according to the length of time it has been ruled by the Zerg. Even if there are so-called racists, they must accept that the Zerg in this universe is Their world, the only dominant reality, does not have a living environment for such individuals.

The maturity of space channel technology provides the most stable and convenient channel for communication between them. The insect swarm is gradually reducing its destruction of cosmic planets and disorderly development, and is more focused on the exploration of unknown star fields.

Of course, wherever they pass, there will still be no forces independent of the Zerg. They have only slowed down the meaningless growth of their numbers, not given up on their rule and conquest of the star field in the universe.

A new order slowly took shape over time after the most extreme destruction.

After the most brutal war, maybe five hundred years or thousands of years, those who were not completely destroyed finally reappeared in the universe. They were no longer independent individuals who had not yet entered space or traversed the universe. Civilization has become an intelligent race under the rule of the Zerg, sharing technology and resources. In a sense, together with the Zerg, they constitute an extremely special "multi-racial unified civilization"!
  But after all, this relationship is not the "cosmic orthodox" form of civilization, because as the actual ruler, the Zerg has castrated most of the attributes that "civilization" should have, and everything is only to serve the Zerg.
