Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 163 War and Peace (page 12)

This is an extremely dangerous number, because the so-called redundancy is based on normal energy consumption under ideal conditions.

The various accidents they encountered during the long journey told them that this completely ideal state did not exist. It was so difficult to glide, let alone slow down and enter a new galaxy!

This stage is consistent with the acceleration stage. It is a stage where accidents and accidents occur frequently. If the consumption in the acceleration stage is estimated, they will take huge risks with this little energy redundancy!

Therefore, they must solve this problem as soon as possible, because there is only one chance. Once the speed cannot be reduced to the berthing speed, the entire spacecraft will pass by Herpreus and the new home like a meteor. With their energy reserves, they will never It's impossible to come back.

However, there is a lack of material in the interstellar space, and the spacecraft propulsion energy they use is not conventional means. Everyone knows how to solve this problem.

But this is an extremely difficult choice. When things have come to this point, no one has the courage to make up their mind to do it. This is why they are gathered in the main control room now.

Because until now, apart from the energy reserves in the thrusters, the only energy that can be utilized is the most important - the "seed" library!

Due to the importance of fire, in order to preserve the absolute safety of the seeds, the form of independent energy supply is adopted here. The energy used is exactly the same as the power source of the spacecraft, and there is a lot of it.

Although it was also damaged in the previous accident, if it can be fully utilized, the current dilemma will be easily solved.

However, in this way, only a very small part of the "seeds" that carry the genes of the best individuals in the entire civilization can be preserved.

Time is already very tight. If they want to make a decision, they must come up with a charter as soon as possible.

This is a common problem among intelligent civilizations. They often do not make decisions easily even if they seem to have clear interests and can make a choice with their feet.

If you completely abandon emotions and judge with pure reason, there is no doubt that the best solution is to give priority to the most urgent tasks. If you cannot park in the target star system, even if you completely retain all the "seeds", the civilization is destined to perish.

One is for the present and the other is for the future, but when it comes to the survival of civilization, they still need to discuss it.

Seven hundred years have passed. Even with dormant rotation, these elites who were young and strong before departure have now spent their prime years on the spaceship and are transitioning to old age.

Now, they must make a decision as soon as possible to survive the crisis, or die.

It's not a difficult decision to make, but it's a tough choice.

Those fires that carry the best genes of the entire civilization are precious to them now. If they choose to give up most of them, the genetic diversity will be limited, which in fact will This will greatly reduce the upper limit of the entire civilization in the future, unless they can edit their own genetic sequence like the Zerg.

But it is obvious that they, who are dedicated to lighting up the aerospace technology tree, do not have this ability.

………………

Zero didn't know that there was such an alien colonial spacecraft, or that the alien escape spacecraft was currently approaching here at a very fast speed from somewhere a light-year outside the Ori system. And even if he knew about it, given the current range of activities of the Zerg, it would never be possible. There is no way it could be threatened across such a long distance.

Therefore, everything is still developing step by step, which is very boring and dull.

Zero has long been accustomed to this feeling. Being in a void space, he experiences loneliness all the time.

The tide rises and falls on the sea, and the stars move in the sky.

The sun rises and sets one after another, and the years pass quietly in this alternating cycle.

There are Zerg units dying in dormancy, and there are endless reincarnations taking place everywhere on the planet.

From a cosmic perspective, the entire planet is just a drop in the ocean. It moves alone in space, with only a small satellite accompanying it.

There are living things thriving on it, and for it, those short lives are just a moment. For billions of years, it has been orbiting this star forever, never stopping.

Throughout the ages, countless lives have died and returned on its body. Everything is a reorganization of matter. To it, there is no difference between what is new and what has passed away.

However, this time, an unprecedented race has completed the journey of all life born on it in just two hundred years. They are not willing to accept the status quo, and they want to leave here.

Thirty years have passed, and research on SARS and it has never stopped for a moment.

When the first Zerg unit of medium size and combining the advantages of various arms walked out of the hatchery, Zero knew that they had now taken a big step on the road of self-transformation.

Because achieving this point is indeed under the leadership of Sass, but it has nothing to do with Sass's own ability!

This is the recombination and expression of genes, and is the embodiment of the Zerg’s achievements in biotechnology!

Those base pairs arranged in a specific order, Sass has figured out part of the meaning related to the Zerg!

With the cooperation of tens of thousands of hatcheries in the main base, it means that it can observe and compare tens of thousands of samples at the same time. Coupled with the powerful memory ability of the Hive Mind, after countless confusions and failures, it has eliminated the unknown After many misalignments, it finally figured out the mystery contained in it!

Even if it is only about a part of the Zerg today, it is an extremely important achievement!

Because this by no means means the end, but just the beginning.

Complete the confirmation of every valid fragment in the gene bank, record and try to use every advantageous gene that has been obtained, and they will be realized one by one within a foreseeable time.

The main underground base of the Zerg is rapidly expanding. Zero needs to continue to facilitate Sars's research. A large number of hatcheries stand around huge and deep digesters. The entire underground space is expanding and being occupied by them. , the cave-like structure effectively ensures the overall stability and prevents it from collapsing.

This is the old profession of the Zerg. Hundreds of years have passed, and now that the Diggers have been continuously transformed and evolved, they are very familiar with this. Under the cover of the Hive Will, there will never be any mistakes.

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

Under the pressure of reality, a difficult but correct decision was unanimously adopted by many elites in the spacecraft. For the survival of the ethnic group, so many tribesmen died on the mother planet just to send them to space and to Herpurus. Come.

Nowadays, it is not a bad idea to make some sacrifices.

There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. As long as the fire is not extinct, there will always be a road in front of it. It is better than wandering in space forever and eventually turning into cold space junk.

The deceleration towards Herpurus had started twenty-six years ago. With the energy reserves diverted from the "seed" storage structure, even if failures occurred frequently during the process, it finally did not reach the point of running out of ammunition and food.
