Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 374 Magic Increase

The Zerg are thriving here.

These planets themselves are nothing to the insect swarm. The matter and energy here are nothing but the most insignificant and ordinary things compared to the size of the real universe.

Its biggest effect is probably to prevent the Zerg from transporting resources across planes, saving a lot of time.

At first, Zero thought so, but the Zerg did not find anything like a magic planet here. It was as if this universe was the same as the real universe, just much smaller.

But this is obviously not the case. After only forty Orui days, the Zerg, which was expanding and exploiting resources, discovered the difference!

Deep underground on those seemingly ordinary planets, there is some kind of "ore" whose magical fluctuations far exceed those of ordinary matter!

Zero reacted in an instant. This is probably the reason why this space is special!

The Zerg immediately began searching for other planets, and began further mining of the planet where magic ore had been discovered as quickly as possible.

But the result was not satisfactory. The mining mode was not started directly as expected. In fact, in the subsequent development, the Zerg found only very few magic ores, as if they were just scattered here and there. There is no enrichment phenomenon in the deep underground of the planet.

Although these magic ores contain rich magic fluctuations, it is impossible to directly create powerful magical creatures like alien beasts in one piece.

With such a huge body and the ability to apply magic, one can easily draw conclusions even by just making an estimate.

They must have lived in a rich magical environment for a long time, and the little ore developed on this planet may not be enough to fill the teeth of such magical beasts.

The development on other planets is not much different, more or less, but compared to the creatures bred in this universe, it is pitiful!

Before the development, Zero did not observe any traces of mining on these planets. This means that they are all natural and are not the result of being developed and abandoned.

Recalling that after entering this universe for so long, the insect swarm has not even encountered a serious magical creature, Zero always feels that maybe the insect swarm has not grasped the key point.

Perhaps, the other party does not exist in this physical universe?

Zero doesn't think that such entities can completely break away from the constraints of matter. Judging from the fact that they continue to invade the planets occupied by the Zerg in the real universe, they still need basic materials and energy.

In other words, if there is only a large amount of matter in this space, then the place where those alien beasts once "lived" must be here!

There are trillions of stars here, and even the Zerg race would find it difficult to complete a comprehensive exploration in a short period of time.

But this is actually a matter of probability. Since there will be traces, Zero does not believe that these alien beasts are a group of good babies who have been nesting in their nests since they were born. They will definitely leave their mark in this star field. The proof of their existence is that the Zerg exploration has just begun and they have not been encountered yet.

Of course, the discovery of these magic ores has also inspired a lot of research for the Zerg, such as how this energy exists stably inside the ores, and what different properties it exhibits, etc., which are all of great research value. .

At least here, what Zero thinks is that while trying to apply this energy, it is best to find a general way to apply special energy sources such as psychic energy and magic.

In addition, the existence of magic as a power itself represents the advanced application of energy. This is actually a clear path. At least when psychic energy cannot be fully analyzed for the time being, inferior magic is obviously easier to create. Some.

What's more, magic and psionic energy are not completely inseparable. In the new universe, the undead have really turned psionic energy and even the psionic creatures themselves into their own magical power!

Maybe this is just a characteristic of the undead, but it is enough to show that there should be an inseparable relationship between magic and spiritual energy.

Zero is not satisfied with the application of psychic energy. This method of direct use is essentially just an imitation, and the principles have not been analyzed.

He believed that Mira must be doing the same thing. There must be a pattern in the phenomena in this universe. Even this kind of energy that is biased towards the mysterious side is no exception. The only difference lies in whether there is a real "root search". "Bottom" is all.

Since ancient times, the chemical energy in food, stellar energy, and later nuclear energy, dark energy, etc., have been transformed by the Zerg themselves, allowing them to be used by the Zerg, and making them efficient in the process. higher.

But throughout history, the Zerg have never deconstructed the essence of energy. From a fundamental point of view, they often just discover a higher-level energy and then replace the lower-level energy.

It does promote the development and progress of the Zerg, and there is nothing wrong with it. But now the emergence of magic and psychic powers has given Zero some ideas about this problem that he originally had no clue about.

Of course, there may still be many difficulties in achieving this, and understanding and changing the world can never be achieved overnight.

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

In 4872, the Zerg race experienced a steady development in the beginning, and the traces of the Zerg race in this star field have become completely unshakable.

Although there is still no trace of native creatures, the unexplored area is getting smaller and smaller. It is just a matter of time.

On the Zerg battlefield, the Zerg's "line-pushing" attack continued. As the front moved forward, the fighting area continued to expand.

Zero could feel that both sides were slightly struggling. The reason for the Zerg's own problem was very simple. It was not that the material and energy in the real universe were not rich enough, nor that the Zerg's high-energy units were not enough, but because of the passage that had been opened up. " "Transportation capacity" has reached its limit.

The increase in the number of Zerg units per unit time did not change over time, which gave the opponent a lot of opportunities to try to stabilize the battle line within a smaller range. Coupled with the opponent's large number of elites, Due to the unit's investment, the two sides felt somewhat back and forth for a while.

But Zero can also feel that these insects are not easy either.

From the elite bugs dispatched, Zero could clearly feel that the other party's attitude had changed.

Since there are enough elite Zerg for support, why were they sent when the Zerg entered here and their combat power was not fully deployed, but only after the Zerg had initially established a foothold on this continent? Dispatch? Zero believes that this is not a big development that the other party has suddenly made. The greater possibility is that the other party may have paid a special price to obtain a group of powerful units to prevent the continued invasion of the Zerg.

We can basically draw a conclusion from the fact that there is no continuous stream of elite bugs joining the battlefield.

It has to be said that these newly added magical bugs are not only huge in number, but their combat capabilities are also worthy of being called "elite". While the Zerg attack is slightly weak, the opponent plays a vital role in stabilizing the front line on the battlefield. effect.

Regarding this bottleneck, Zero didn't have many ideas. The Zerg had a mature invasion concept. In fact, this situation was not completely beyond the expectations before the war.

Expanding dimension channel zero is temporarily impossible, but this is not a new universe. This continent has abundant materials. The Zerg can completely expand its scale by using local materials. Even if some special substances and materials do not exist here, the brain Bugs can also find substitutes.

To put it bluntly, Zerg gene editing has long been able to change with time. Regarding the Zerg application of different materials, the brain worms have long been familiar with it.

What's more, even if there is really a lack of certain necessary materials, transporting them is much more convenient than transporting the fleet directly!

Thanks to the efforts of Cerebrumsk, more than 50 large-scale Zerg bases have been established on the mainland in places firmly occupied by the Zerg. Their role is to obtain various resources buried under this land and reduce channel transportation. Little pressure.

Although there was some back-and-forth between the two sides on the front line, as time goes by, the number of Zerg combat units has increased, and Sk is accumulating strength for the next round of attack.

…………

This continent is obviously not infinite, whether it is based on speculation from all aspects or direct observation and exploration of the Zerg.

This also means that no matter how huge this continent is, the number of Zerg rooted here will never be truly infinite. However, the Zerg, backed by the real universe, really have inexhaustible resources. resource.

So Zero knew very well that from the moment the Zerg set foot on this continent, the Zerg swarm could completely clear this place even if they spent resources!

I think the recent actions of the Zerg are quite related to this. Compared to the Zerg, they can no longer afford it.

Zero has reason to doubt that since the birth of this Zerg, I am afraid that it has never experienced such a rapid loss of combat power. In addition, due to limited resources, although it now occupies the home field advantage, it is obviously close to facing the same situation as the Zerg. The dilemma is that the rear combat power supplement has been slightly unable to keep up with the frontline consumption!

The Zerg died in the battle, and the Zerg did not give up too much. Hundreds of thousands of casualties were suffered every minute and every second. Even if it was just a small unit, what behind it represented tens of thousands of tons of various resources!

The Zerg are only slightly behind in logistics, but the Zerg are probably already building on their old strength.

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

The Zerg's exploration of the universe where the alien beasts are located went very smoothly, so smoothly that they even doubted whether the Zerg swarm had entered an unowned galaxy. If it weren't for the occasional discovery of some magical ores, everything would be no different from the real universe.

But as time went by and the Zerg exploration area gradually expanded, Zero finally discovered some anomalies!

In a certain direction, the efficiency of obtaining magic ores is continuing to increase!

This is of course not because the Zerg have increased their development efforts, but because the content of magic ores in those planets is really increasing rapidly!

Although no native magical creatures have actually been discovered yet, this pattern is already telling Zero an obvious possibility.

That is to say, the entire galaxy may be a huge "mineral vein", and a certain branch of the Zerg is currently exploring along the mineral vein!

Sure enough, soon afterwards, the magic ore discovered by the insect swarm not only increased rapidly in quantity, but also in quality!

It is no longer suitable to be called "ore"!

Because ore refers to a mixture with impurities, the proportion of the mixture is often much higher than the truly useful "mineral deposits". However, as the Zerg continue to explore forward, the magic in the magic "ore" The content and quality are increasing rapidly, even reaching more than one-third, and the magic fluctuations are more severe!

This obviously represents a higher quality, and it can be speculated that perhaps the insect swarm is about to find the lair of those magical beasts.

The swarm of insects began to jump long distances, no longer limited to temporary exploration. The resources left here will naturally be developed by units from behind. They only care about moving further!

…………

In Zerg 4898, the Zerg swarm encountered the first "living planet" since entering this universe!

It can be said that this speed was quite slow in the Zerg's past exploration of the real universe. However, due to the limited initial investment and the relatively careful exploration here, it took more than twenty years to discover this place.

But this is not a problem. This universe is here, it is limited, and it will be fully explored sooner or later, and the creatures here cannot escape.

.........

The planet in front of me doesn't look much different from the ordinary rocky planets in the real universe, and the template can even be found directly from the real universe.

But judging from previous excavations and explorations, the purity of the "magic ore" present here may have reached an astonishing 70%!

Ling Guo estimated that if the surface of this planet was cut open, the magic fluctuations there might be directly observable in space!

The strange thing is that although it is obvious that there is a large amount of life on this planet, no armed forces have been found either in the nearby star field or in the orbit!

Judging from the size of those alien beasts, it should be impossible to stay on the surface of the planet. There is a high probability that they will still run rampant in the starry sky. Is this where their "cubs" grow up?

If this is the case, is the other party being a little too hasty? Now this planet is undefended for the Zerg, and Zero will not be polite to these alien beasts!
