Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 379 Magic Array

This enemy fleet gives Zero a very strange feeling. Their lethality is extremely powerful. On the one hand, it is different from what the Zerg have encountered before in the real universe. On the other hand, Zero always feels that these battleships are superior to other ships. The flow of magical energy is very characteristic.

Of course, simple statistics and analysis did not draw any conclusions. They looked like ordinary magic circuits used to launch powerful attacks, but Zero always felt that it would be difficult for such magic fluctuations to cause such lethality. .

The Zerg have done some research on these magic circuits. They captured a batch of magic warships and conducted many tests in the following decades. One of them was to imitate the opponent's structure and try to replicate the enemy's attack methods. , or use this to find the other party's weaknesses.

Although there was no magic harvest in that year, this research did not make much progress in the end. It was not restarted until recently after the alien beast space obtained a large amount of magic ore. However, judging from the current imitation results of the Zerg, it is completely unable to reach the opponent's current level. To such an extent.

Of course, Zerg's research on this is relatively crude, and there are many deficiencies in information. Some key factors may be missed, resulting in the final result not being as expected, but from Zero's own feeling, something is very wrong.

After the death of the first batch of swarms that could only be forced to kill, the combat power displayed by this fleet did not weaken much due to the free movement of the zerg. On the contrary, it felt like it was getting stronger with each war.

This is not normal.

Because of this, Zero needs to capture them as much as possible. In addition to studying the previous attacks encountered by the insect swarm, he also wants to thoroughly delve into the special mysteries of these battleships.

………………

The swarm of insects risked their lives as always, even if the casualties caused to them by the opponent were extremely exaggerated, it did not change this.

The opponent chooses the battlefield here, obviously intending to surround themselves with insect swarms. This is an ocean of insect swarms. Insects from the real universe surround the enemy and launch endless attacks regardless of life or death. .

When the insect swarm at the front dies, the fleet at the rear will immediately replace it. The center of the battlefield is like a huge meat grinder. Although the enemy only has tens of thousands of warships, and many of them were scattered due to the previous active attack on the insect swarm. But the casualties caused to the Zerg have reached dozens of times and are even increasing rapidly towards more than a hundred times!

The reason why Zero felt something was wrong was because the enemy's battle losses were only a few dozen ships!

Many of the high-energy attacks of the Zerg clearly hit the enemy, but they seemed to have no effect at all.

This was the main reason why Zero confirmed that the opponent's warship was unusual, in addition to the reason why the swarm paid such a high price, and of course why Zero wanted to capture them as completely as possible.

Of course, some results have been achieved. Among the dozens of enemy warships destroyed, the Zerg captured two relatively complete warships. They have entered the research station of the institute and are being quickly analyzed.

Magic, the application of this energy is obviously not yet fully understood by the Zerg themselves. Including the bugs on the Zerg battlefield, they only rely on "brute force" to fight. Only this magical civilization has applied the power of magic to high-level At the same level, it seems that it is many times stronger than the Zerg or the insects and beasts.

If it were not for the limitations of intelligent civilization itself, perhaps they were the ones most likely to break through the Zerg defenses and enter the real universe!

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

There are tens of thousands of magic technology battleships, more or less, but with continued fighting, their level of trouble will surpass the entire process of the Zerg's anti-invasion war!

In the space of alien beasts, the insect swarm is invincible. Those alien beasts with only muscles and almost no brains are like wild beasts in the primitive jungle compared with the alien insects that only know how to charge with huge numbers. There is no technical content at all.

To deal with the former, the Zerg have sophisticated tactics, and to face the latter, the Zerg has an equal or even greater numerical advantage.

Therefore, on various battlefields, the swarm could be said to be victorious, but they encountered a tough challenge here.

Under the deep space of the universe where light and darkness complement each other, magic and energy collide with each other. Some insects made their last silent scream in the universe. It was probably the only voice from their hearts in their lives, but it was endlessly ignored. Covered by the void, there is no sound anymore.

Of course, no one cares about this. The Zerg wars have always been cruel, both against the enemy and themselves. Behind the occupation of the endless star field, there are also the deaths of countless creatures, of which the Zerg themselves account for more than half.

The resource transportation and energy supply in the endless star field have turned into living beings one after another. They obey the instructions of the Hive Will and Zero and complete their mission in this life-dedicate their lives to the development of the Zerg.

In ancient times, Zero once had pity for those ordinary bugs, but as time passed, everything was changing rapidly. Now, except for Sass, even the death of the brain bugs could not give him much. fluctuation.

This is the power of time, but it is also the only way for the development of the Zerg.

Of course, on this battlefield, the efforts of the Zerg were not worthless. Their massive deaths resulted in the capture of relatively complete warships one after another. In the laboratory, Zero finally proved One point is that even if the Zerg use the original weapons loaded on these battleships to overload, they will not be able to reach the enemy's power on the battlefield!

You must know that the insect swarms here are not the ancient and "fragile" insect species in the real universe. Each of them has undergone high-energy transformation and is resistant to energy attacks, especially targeted magic attacks and even psychic attacks. It has quite strong defensive capabilities, but on the battlefield, this defense seems to not exist.

But it's completely different in the laboratory. These captured enemy warships cannot reach that level at all. A single attack cannot even break the Zerg's defense!

At this moment, anyone can see that there is something wrong with this. These technological creations are not like Zerg units. Once they die, they will lose most of their functions. Their biological structure determines that their attack strength depends largely on The existence of total life.

But these magic technology creations are different. They will not weaken the performance of the weapon unit much due to being captured. At most, the main control unit will suffer some losses, but this is not a problem at all under the careful repair of the Zerg.

And this makes their behavior on the battlefield even more bizarre. Zero has always had some strange feelings about magic, an unknown, even mysterious energy. For example, the undead who have disappeared now but invaded the main universe and once forced the Zerg to retreat. The magical properties are strange enough to bring a dead individual back to life, and it is a real life, not a walking corpse. This can be said to violate the rules of the universe!

The reason why they are still alive after resurrection is because Zero once witnessed an ordinary individual summoned by the undead. By devouring psychic creatures in the new universe, it eventually became partially intelligent!

Therefore, it can be determined that although they may not have independent thinking ability when they are "resurrected", as time grows, they will eventually become another individual that is completely different from before death. Isn't this a kind of rebirth? !

There are also some attribute-related issues that have been studied for a long time, but there is still no definite answer. The magic ore found in the alien beast space can be regarded as a kind of energy without attributes.

If it weren't for this, Zero wouldn't have such high expectations for this magical civilization, and he would not hesitate to lose countless insect swarms in order to obtain the other party's technological information.

In this regard, they are indeed the pioneers, and they are much stronger than the Zerg and even the Undead. In the final analysis, the Zerg is a race that has become stronger step by step through scientific research, rather than being born with something as powerful as the Undead or Alien Beasts. strength.

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

Mira doesn't know what she's been doing recently. Even on the frontal battlefield with the Zerg, its mechanical combat units have rarely appeared. It's not that it has withdrawn its combat power, but that it is just that the Zerg continues to expand its front line. Under the premise that it has neither increased troops nor made more strategic deployments, it appears that Zerg are fighting everywhere. Whether or not its mechanical combat power actually does not affect the overall situation.

On this continent, the Zerg have completely established a foothold. The slightly thin magic units in the air have been imitated by the Zerg based on the structures inside the Zerg. There is already some small amount of magic on the battlefield today. The insect species launched an attack on the zerg in their own way.

These insect species, which are almost entirely sourced from mainland China, are extremely low-cost for the Zerg race and can be used as consumables. However, their combat power is not weak and they can also be used as the main force on the battlefield.

Of course, they are useful. Why they are so useful, that is, why magical energy can explode with powerful power when distributed in a specific sequence, while other distributions do not work or may even be counterproductive and cause their own losses. This is still a mystery.

If, as previously speculated, the zerg on this continent are also invaders, then how did they transform magic for their own use in the first place and finally reach this level?

Zero didn't know, but the solution that the Zerg needed to solve this problem still had to fall on that magical civilization.

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

In the new universe, the Zerg's development of psychic energy continues. It is obvious that the nature of psychic energy should be much higher than magical transformation. Otherwise, there is no reason to only need a very small number of psychic units to create a person. There are only powerful magical undead, but just like magic, the Zerg's research on this energy is still at its most primitive stage, and in a sense, it is not as good as those undead who actively invaded but ultimately ruined themselves.

Of course, for this reason, they have become the best teachers of the Zerg. To this day, some of the low-level undead captured by the Zerg are undergoing the most rudimentary assimilation and reproduction under the "feeding" of Sars, using almost endless energy. Zerg individuals came to infinitely test this transformation process, and finally reached a definite conclusion.

This is a stupid approach, but it will definitely work.

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

In Zerg 4946, after a long period of fierce fighting and the death of countless Zerg units, Zero finally completed the "capture" and annihilation of this fleet with the support of such a huge price.

In the research base station at the rear, a large number of magical technological creations are stacked together for processing by the Zerg scientific research units.

Of course, such a huge cost and meticulous research is not all achieved.

The Zerg scientific research team found some traces of the use of complementary magic from the structures of these magical civilization creations!

After a simple test, it was confirmed that they increased the intensity of their attacks on each other. This means that there is some kind of invisible connection between these enemy warships, and this connection allows them to fight each other on both offense and defense. Each individual is several times stronger than before!

Zero has always understood that as long as he cooperates properly. The power of a group is far greater than that of an individual, but this time the opponent's "combination" still opened his eyes!

This is an area that the Zerg have never touched, but no one can deny its power!

An increase of more than 300%. What kind of power is that? If used on the Zerg, even "tasteless" units that are difficult to function due to size, materials, and other limitations can still have power that makes any enemy fearful, let alone the main fleet!

Combined with the particularity of the opponent's strength, this is not so much a "cooperation" as it is a "formation"!

The Zerg can't see it, but it's there. Zero doesn't know how the enemy uses this formation. It seems that this kind of thing is still far away from today's Zerg. At least why the energy transmission units on these battleships "complement each other" and even amplify each other must be a kind of It surpassed the "technology" used by the enemy to deploy "iron walls" for defense, and later used space shock magic attacks.

For a moment, Zero didn't even know where to start. There was too much unknown information, and there was a lot Zero wanted to get, but most of it needed more intelligence support. However, how to obtain the corresponding intelligence now was even difficult. No clue.

In the end, Zero decided to adopt the old method and use the situation of casting a wide net to release all kinds of insect species from microscopic units to macroscopic battleships to the enemy's area, in exchange for the possibility of obtaining more intelligence at the expense of a large amount of resource consumption. .

These creatures are not like the life in the real universe. The pretenders or lurkers of the Zerg have almost no effect on them. They can be seen through almost at a glance and have no meaning.

So Zero can only use stupid methods.
