Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 370 Violent Breaking

This process lasted for a total of 791 Oridays. It is roughly estimated that the energy it released can be compared to the total energy of all the materials in the entire planetary system!

In this process, if we can cross the limit of the speed of light and directly observe this place from the endless and distant starry sky, we will be able to find that under the endless darkness, there is an extra "star" whose brightness exceeds all the celestial bodies in the universe. appears here.

And this is just the most obvious external manifestation of these energies. The energy released to maintain this process is truly astronomical!

Eight hundred and twenty Oridays after the incident occurred, the energy fluctuations generated there quickly weakened, and the "star" that suddenly appeared in the universe finally dimmed.

To be honest, such a huge energy release was something Zero had never thought of before. It seriously exceeded the previous estimates of the Zerg and Mira. This meant that the previous estimates were wrong, and it might be a huge mistake!

But the experiment was actually completed!

This can only show that there is no problem with the research direction of the Zerg and Mira, but the problem is the dimensional barrier itself!

I originally thought it might just be the collapse of the fourth dimension into the third dimension, but now it seems that it may be more than that!

But this point is actually not that important. What is really important is that after the endless light and heat finally dissipated, what appeared in front of Zero and Mira was no longer the originally elusive and unreachable invasion exit. There is no longer any dimensional barrier, but an almost undefended passage leading to an unknown space!

It has obviously become extremely unstable. It seems that with the change of dimensions, it can no longer bear the burden of crossing space. It looks like it may collapse and disappear at any time. There is still light and heat emitting there, but the scale has changed. Too small.

Zero can easily feel the instability of this space. It seems that although Mira's experiment successfully lifted the dimensional barrier, this "violent kicking in the door" method did not lead to a good ending.

As time went by, this extremely unstable passage began its own path of destruction. Of course, in this short period of time, Zero had already caused hundreds of thousands of surrounding insect swarms to march into it, in order to try to grab it. Enter it before it is completely destroyed, and if you are lucky enough, you may be able to gain something.

In order to increase his luck, or increase the probability of success, Zero dispatched as many Zerg units as possible in a short period of time, but the result was obviously not ideal.

Without exception, these bugs all died in the turbulent flow of space, without any gain.

Mira didn't make the same move as Zero, but she didn't give any hints either.

Perhaps in its calculations, the probability of success in this luck-based approach is already close to zero.

…………

Violent space turbulence began to rage in this area. After only eleven Oridays, the place had completely lost its use value. It had turned from a stable and reliable invasion channel into an extremely dangerous deep space area. .

Zero did not let the insect swarm accelerate the progress of space leveling, but allowed it to slowly recover on its own. This process may last for thousands of years, but Zero didn't care at all.

Although this experiment was still essentially a failure, in a sense, it was equivalent to a success.

The dimensional barrier that originally completely blocked the entry of any material energy from the outside has been broken. It at least proves that this is indeed a feasible way, but it will cause drastic consequences.

The next research direction has been pointed out, and in the real universe, there are still four stable channels. It seems that the enemy does not have the ability to actively destroy them. Otherwise, in the years when the Zerg have occupied an absolute advantage, obviously Knowing that it is impossible to invade the main universe, the other party should not leave this hidden danger alone.

Or maybe they are extremely confident in the strength of the dimensional barrier and are convinced that the Zerg cannot break such a defense. But now that this has happened and the opponent still hasn't made much action, then it is most likely the former.

This means that the Zerg have at least three more opportunities to try and make mistakes. After experiencing this failure, neither Mira nor Zero himself will waste precious opportunities without absolute certainty. If there is no accident, , there is a high probability that in the next experiment, Zero will be able to obtain a relatively complete passage to the enemy's space or plane!

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

In the new universe, with the entry of elite Zerg units, the situation of the undead has become increasingly dire.

Of course, in fact, their last summons still caused a lot of trouble for the insect swarm. In order to prevent the possibility of tiger breeding, Sass had to send more exploration units to track the whereabouts of the undead scattered in the darkness. .

This is quite not easy. If it were not for the size and organizational power of the Zerg, this matter would not even have to be thought about. While surrounding hundreds of billions of powerful enemies, we must also try our best not to let any of them go. It’s like a fantasy!

For Sass, there are also many difficulties in this matter, because even though the Zerg have invested huge power here, it is still impossible to really monitor every undead.

What it can do is to continuously attack and consume the opponent's summons on the frontal battlefield and eliminate the powerful summoners, and expand the Zerg's scope of influence here as quickly as possible. It is best to monitor all the large numbers of spirits that exist. A living area.

In this way, if there is any change there, or a powerful undead is born, the Zerg will be able to respond quickly so that the enemy will not become too powerful.

Judging from the overall situation of the war, the Zerg have undoubtedly taken the strategic initiative. As long as they play steadily and make no big mistakes, even if the opponent can continue to launch summons, it is impossible to reverse the situation.

Unless they can rely on their increasingly powerful undead magic to burst out a powerful force unknown to others and never shown by the other party, it is possible to have a certain impact on the outcome of this war, but it is only possible.

The undead, the invaders that caused the most trouble to the Zerg, are disappearing from the new universe at a relatively slow rate.

Perhaps when they and all the magical creatures chose to invade the real universe, they were doing so because of the psychic creatures in the new universe. From the surface, the psychic creatures are simply some kind of great tonic panacea for them, and Are the number of psychic creatures in the new universe more than one trillion?

This is simply a huge treasure mountain for them. If it is for such a being to invade the main universe, it is reasonable.

But there is still an unanswered question, that is, how did these magical creatures learn that the Zerg had entered the new universe, and how did they accurately locate the Zerg and launch a direct attack?

If their intelligence and abilities are really so powerful, why not just choose the original battlefield near the new universe passage, or even directly locate it in the new universe? Wouldn't it be better than going head-to-head with the Zerg in the real universe and eventually being killed? Is it easy to suppress or even eliminate?

This invasion was indeed strange. At first, Zero thought that some kind of existence might have leaked information about the Zerg to these magical creatures, and he was even very wary of Mira for a time.

But if you think about it seriously, the other party can complete the crossing of space and even the universe. The specific abilities it possesses are not clear to the Zerg until now. These magical creatures, undead, insects or alien beasts, are not something that the brainworms can understand. "Brain", these structures of them are, without exception, closely related to the strange energy of magic, and the brainworms obviously do not have the ability to analyze "magic memory" at this stage. The most critical thing is that Zero was not able to capture any living intelligent creatures on the fourth battlefield, which made everything empty talk.

Therefore, it is impossible to directly obtain information through talent.

Research on them may only look forward to the future when the Zerg truly understand how the energy of magic is born and how it is integrated into all aspects of these creatures, so that they can gain some understanding.

…………

This war, which spanned hundreds of years, brought many things to the Zerg that were impossible to come into contact with in the past. In a sense, it also broadened Zero's horizons.

In the real universe, all phenomena have scientific explanations. Even if they don't, it's just a lack of knowledge. The essence here and the rules here will never change. In other words, tracing back to the source, there are almost no explanations in this world. New science may be born.

But the appearance of these magical creatures broke all this.

That is to say, the Zerg has now mobilized a large amount of research resources to cooperate with Mira in conquering the dimensional barrier. In the past time, the Zerg has actually made a lot of efforts to study these magical creatures and the nature of magic.

The knowledge of some of their "attributes" and understanding of their characteristics give the insect swarm more or less advantages on the battlefield, such as self-destruction against the erosion of undead magic, or targeted psychic powers. Defense and so on.

However, the rules for the birth of magic have not been discovered so far. There is a "source of magic" in a certain sense within the bodies of those strange beasts, which contains magic reserves that far exceed those of the undead. This is also the root of their power.

But unfortunately, in the real universe, they are just equivalent to a powerful magic "storage".

In the initial attempt, Zero discovered that there were some areas with unclear functions inside this "storage", which were more or less connected to various parts of the bodies of these alien beasts through subtle pathways.

According to conjecture, this is most likely the magic circuit that exists in the bodies of these magical creatures. However, there is no such thing as ready-made magic in the real universe. The only thing that may be related to it is the large number of psychic creatures that exist in the new universe. , but for some reason, these almost mindless beasts just wander around in the universe, never having a clear goal like the undead.

Maybe they have also "worked hard", but the effect is not so obvious. After all, locating a new universe in the real universe and actually opening the channel is a technical job. Even if these alien beasts possess powerful magical power, they only have instinct. If there is no brain, it is useless if it is not put to use.

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

Now that almost all the crises caused by the enemy's invasion have been eliminated, the original action of mobilizing the entire Zerg force to resist the invasion is no longer necessary.

The swarm has returned to a "pastoral" life in a sense, collecting useful resources, exploring, expanding, or abandoning galaxies, capturing Zhuna, etc. These are not so high priorities during the war, and therefore The affected activities were once again restarted.

Except for the scientific research system.

A large number of brainworms are involved, conducting more detailed research on dimension collapse at the same time as Mira, and trying to exclude all surprises as much as possible.

Mira is not omnipotent. In many cases, Zero can detect the "rigidity" of its thinking. In fact, this is not considered rigid. Compared with an ordinary intelligent race, Mira can definitely be regarded as agile in thinking. , but what the Zerg have gathered are the best research talents from dozens of intelligent civilizations.

In order to ensure that they can have their own unique thinking, Zero did not even establish a so-called "United Civilization" to bring all intelligent races together, but allowed them to develop freely in various star fields.

Only after the application of knowledge reaches a certain level, these intelligent creatures will have the opportunity to gather with equally outstanding individuals from other civilizations for a fierce collision of ideas.

Of course, Zero did not completely isolate the communication between various races for this reason, but only exercised a relatively limited control.

The brainworms and scientific researchers from various civilizations who are currently researching with Mira have all kinds of strange ways of thinking. No one can predict when the inspiration from the collision of thoughts will suddenly burst out, and in what form it will appear.

Even Mira cannot do this. This is what it lacks as a "lonely" mechanical life. Unless it also follows the path of the Zerg, it will be almost impossible to achieve something above the mind. "Let a hundred flowers bloom".

Judging from past experience, Mira does not respect all life. On the contrary, most of the time, it takes more drastic measures against these weak civilizations than the Zerg.

After Zero controls a civilization, he will still consider whether the other party has the value to continue to exist, that is, the potential to serve the Zerg.

But Mira is completely different. It adopts the model of fishing for the best, that is, after completely draining the other party of its existing value, all that is left for these lives is the most cruel cleaning.

Perhaps this is the imprint left by Mira from ancient times, and those former low-level orders still have some influence, or perhaps it is this new life, which currently seems to be the only complete omnic life in the real universe. "There is a greater bias above.

But no matter which one it is, it means that if it does not make changes, it is almost impossible to have the advantage of the Zerg. This is also the biggest role played by the Zerg in the process of participating in the research, so that the relationship between the two Determine it based on cooperation, not unilateral demands.

Obviously, Mira itself recognized this, otherwise it would not have been able to allow the Zerg to "prostitute for free" on it as it advocated fair trade.
