Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 359 "Need help?"

The technological system of the Zerg is generally dominated by biotechnology, while other auxiliary technologies develop along with its progress. In the Zergization of many technologies, it is often necessary to have a sufficient understanding of this technology. and in-depth.

Generally speaking, the productivity of the Zerg is much higher than the total productivity of all other intelligent races. Once the Zerg is completed, it means that this technology has entered a mature stage for the Zerg, and large-scale production and installation are natural. matter.

But now, Zero really wants to make the enemy's "magic" a real "technology" that can be used by the Zerg, but his knowledge of it is really limited.

This seems to be completely two levels of things. If there is something crucial, it is that this special and powerful "energy" still does not break away from the category of energy essence, but how does it burst out in such a strange way? Of power, the Zerg know nothing about it.

The development of science and technology needs to be understood and studied from the root. Today's Zerg are still quite lacking in this, but for some reason, the enemy has a very deep understanding of the Zerg or the technological side.

Generally speaking, even if the systems are different, the various weapons of the Zerg cannot be perfectly defended in the real universe. Those anti-matter cannons and those high-power energy cannons should be the "truth" of physics that applies everywhere. !

A typical example is the new universe currently being developed by the Zerg. There, even if the enemy has considerable resistance to various weapons of the Zerg due to the existence of psychic energy, those ordinary creatures still cannot withstand the direct attack of the restrained anti-matter cannon. If the bombardment was not to obtain complete psychic materials, the Zerg would not be too helpless at the beginning.

Not to mention that today’s battlefield is in the real universe, on the home ground of the Zerg!

However, this time the enemy's invasion made most of the Zerg's conventional means useless in the first round of attacks. In addition to space weapons, even anti-matter cannons were almost perfectly defended by the opponent's special magic!

This is very unreasonable. It feels like...it was already prepared for Zero!

The facts cannot be verified, but Zero has reason to doubt it.

He had no idea how the other party obtained the Zerg information from other universes or planes, and now was not the time to think about these issues.

But speaking of the new universe, what Sath brought to the Zerg this time was not only the deeper high-end psychic creatures, but also the results of the Zerg's research on the "darkness" of the new universe.

Compared to in-depth research on psychic energy, this may be easily overlooked, but what it brings is the possibility that ordinary Zerg units can also sail at high speeds in the new universe!

This means that the Zerg's development of the new universe has entered a new stage. If there is no invasion of the real universe and the Zerg can fully devote itself to the development of the new universe, using this technological breakthrough, the Zerg will surely be able to enter another world soon. The era of psychic leaps!

But now, a large number of psychic units need to be put into the battlefield of the main universe to deal with the increasingly fierce battles day after day. If the new universe does not have the support of a large number of psychic units, it will be difficult to complete the expansion by ordinary units alone.

This involves another decision, but Zero never hesitates too much in this regard.

On the battlefield in the real universe, even if the insect swarm uses its life to fill the gap, it will still have to block the insects on the first and second battlefields near the entrance of the passage, and the newly produced psychic units will do their best to use them in the new battlefield. The universe is being developed!

As long as something is produced, the new universe can feed back the real universe battlefield, ultimately forming a virtuous cycle.

If everything goes well, it will only be the first stage that is painful.

Zero believes in Sars and believes that it can allow the insect swarm to develop smoothly in the new universe and expand its base to increase output.

It will be bitter at first and then sweet. As long as you can survive this period of time, at least on the first and second battlefields, the pressure of the insect swarm will be relieved, even if the opponent's elite units continue to increase their troops.

…………

However, the reality is always unsatisfactory. Just as Zero had guessed before, the other party seems to have known about the Zerg for a long time and has a clear goal and plan to launch the invasion. This invasion is not just about choosing three battlefields to open up!

In Zerg 4683, the Zerg swarm on the front line once again discovered two "dimensional drift" phenomena, which means that a new battlefield will be opened up soon!

What will come? Zerg, or undead?

No matter which one it is, with the current spiritual energy reserves of the Zerg, there are not many ways to deal with it!

Zero didn't know how he felt now. If the Zerg were given another two hundred years, he could use the new universe on a large scale, and the Zerg psychic units would be so numerous that they could flood the star sea!

Even if it only lasts a hundred years, he can perfectly resist the enemy's invasion, eliminate the so-called undead, and block the two insects back into the area where the original passage was.

But now, according to a pessimistic estimate, He may only have two years left, and even if he is optimistic, it will not exceed ten years.

In two to ten years, even if the time flow rate of the new universe and the main universe is nearly 2.6 times different, it is impossible for him to gather a psychic fleet that can block the enemy's invasion.

How to do?

Zero could only dispatch a large number of ordinary units to attack first, and then draw psychic units from various battlefields as supplements, once again relaxing the suppression of the zerg and the surveillance of the undead.

This is a helpless move, but the Zerg can only do this.

But it has only been a few decades. Just a few decades ago, the Zerg were still carrying out a vigorous movement to develop a new universe. In the real universe, they were already alone and could not find any opponents.

Decades later, several consecutive invasions of alien space creatures have stretched the insect swarm to the limit. Today, it seems that they can no longer support it. It seems that they can only let the other party break in and use the huge space of the real universe to develop for the insect race. In exchange for time.

In just these few decades, especially under the premise that the enemy seems to have been well prepared, how much results can the Zerg achieve in cutting-edge fields, especially the vital spiritual direction, in this short period of time?

…………

Zero has indeed been thinking about the feasibility of exchanging space for time. At least with the new universe in hand, the Zerg will have more time. If they let go of their firm resistance to these invaders at various passages, a large number of Zerg's psychic units will be able to Being able to be released, in a sense, has a high probability of causing more damage to the opponent.

As the defender, as long as they keep the new universe firmly in their hands and cooperate with a certain amount of material support from the real universe, the Zerg will always have the capital to fight the enemy. Given time, they may not be able to suppress the opponent again.

But there is one thing that is hard to accept. It is easy to ask the gods but difficult to give them away, especially these insects with magical power. Once they are let in, the opponent will have a lot of resources in the real universe, coupled with the continuous supply of the channel. , how it will eventually expand into, zero is really immeasurable!

Even if the enemy can be driven away in the end, I don’t know how much energy it will take! Therefore, He really did not want to do it until the last step.

The deterioration of the matter has indeed exceeded the Zerg's expectations. In such a short period of time, even if there are many intelligent race individuals to help the brainworms participate in the research with all their strength, it is unlikely that they can overcome the two kinds of spiritual energy and magic that are very important to the Zerg. It is a mysterious technology, allowing the insect swarm to pose a real threat to the enemy with its own technological means.

Zero was helpless, but now it seemed that it was time to make a decision. He had to make the worst plan, that is, to exchange the vast space of the real universe for the development and research time of the Zerg in the new universe.

At least at this stage, the Zerg still have the energy to limit the two insect invasions to the vicinity of the invasion points. As for the enemies at the two invasion points this time, Zero actually has no energy left to take into account.

Time passed little by little, and Zero gradually accepted this result. Seriously speaking, the Zerg with the new universe still has huge potential. As long as they don't care about the gains and losses of the real universe and firmly hold the new universe in their hands, even if the enemy continues No matter how powerful it is, it will always have the power to fight.

And just when Zero had almost resigned himself to his fate and was preparing to drag the entire war spanning hundreds of millions of light years into the stage that he least wanted to see but was inevitable, through the will of the hive, he suddenly received this piece of information:

"need any help?"

Just a few bytes, but Zero was suddenly stunned.

The other party's communication method is very ancient, electromagnetic waves.

The communication language is also very familiar. It is the ancient common language of the Hero Federation. Some of the former Hero Federation people who were captured by the Zerg still use this language.

But there is no doubt that this message does not come from these "remnants" of the Hero Federation, which can actually be said to be controlled by the Zerg. It represents an "old friend" of the Zerg, and hundreds of people have disappeared after the war. For many years, Ling almost ignored the existence of such an "old friend".

Mira!

The swarm tracked the source of the signal and finally found its signal base station buried deep under the surface of a planet. It is certain that there must be many base stations like this in the areas that the zerg have explored, but this has long been the case. Zero had known about it thousands of years ago and had no reaction.

He cannot stop Mira's behavior. The opponent's mechanical fleet is actually not inferior to the Zerg. Its nanomachines can compete with the Zerg units at the micro level, or even be better!

Now, it appeared again at this time point, and Zero didn't know how he felt.

It is true that the real universe is far from being unique to the Zerg. As a "native" life in the real universe, Mira should have a certain sense of "responsibility to protect the soil", but for a mechanical life, It is said that these subjective "responsibilities" are like garbage data in the logical heap and may be cleared at any time.

If one day Mira suddenly stood on the opposite side of the Zerg and formed an alliance with the enemies of the Zerg, Zero would not be surprised, because Mira itself is an existence that Zero does not understand at all. Its logic is What it will be like and what it will eventually grow into are all unknown.

But now, some kind of signal can be drawn from this piece of information, as if it wants to... provide assistance?

Zero is not sure. In the past, only the brainworm Visser has actively established communication with it in some sense, but most of the time it was just one-sided information transmission.

Mira did not have much actual contact with the swarm. The previous confrontation and cooperation between the two parties were more based on the tacit understanding between Zero and Mira rather than direct communication.

But Zero is actually very sure that Mira must know his existence, even if the Zerg has only communicated with it from beginning to end, only Visser.

He knew that the information received by the Hive Mind was actually asking him. It seemed that as long as he said "need", Mira would intervene.

But Zero could not imagine how an existence like it would intervene in this war. Even with its help, the crisis would not change in the face of these unknown mysterious forces.

However, the situation is serious enough, and Zero is really unwilling to allow more invaders to enter the main universe and develop wantonly. In addition, the previous cooperation with Mira was quite "pleasant". Therefore, after discovering the base station it uses to transmit information, After that, Zero still responded.

"Yes."

This was the first time Zero responded directly to Mira's message. He didn't even pay attention to whether the other party responded.

Zero has prepared for the worst. The insect swarm is accelerating the transfer of supplies to the new universe. This has been going on since the enemy appeared, but now, both sides of the passage are at full capacity.

This process will continue until the enemy cuts off the connection between the Zerg real universe and the new universe, or until Zero completely eliminates the enemy from the main universe!

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

In Zerg 4685, just as the Zerg swarm was gathering its fleet to prepare for the two newly discovered invasion points, countless "lights" lit up in a desolate galaxy somewhere!

They were like stars that suddenly twinkled under the night sky. They appeared at the same time in the galaxy that Zero had never paid attention to. Then, the nearby insect swarms lost track of them.

Zero knew that it was Mira's fleet!

He had no intention of letting the nearby insect swarms go to explore. If Mira's previous contact was not an illusion caused by his long "loneliness" in the void space, this fleet should be Mira's support.

But, what can they do?

Zero didn't know that he was just doing his own thing step by step. No matter whether Mira could help or not, this war against aggression would inevitably go on, maybe for hundreds of years, maybe for thousands of years, as long as the other party Without the ability to directly destroy the insect swarm, Zero will continue to fight until the Zerg technology breaks out, until the development of the new universe is completed, and until the counterattack is victorious!

In the year 4690 of the Zerg, the fourth invasion war kicked off amid the intensive defensive preparations of the Zerg. But this time the enemy the Zerg faced was not the same overwhelming biota, nor the undead exuding evil power. It is a fleet, a fleet that shines with metallic luster, has sharp edges and powerful weapons!

There is no doubt that the power used by the opponent is magic, or various attack methods derived from magic, which Zero collectively calls - magic weapons!

Such attacks are still fatal to ordinary Zerg, but the good news is that at least they are not like Zerg, which can fundamentally threaten the Zerg swarm!
