Overlord: Rise of the Zerg
Chapter 172 Energy Crystal (Page 12)
According to the other party's records, this dark purple translucent crystal containing huge energy cannot be divided in any form, and its interior cannot be observed with any existing technology. The two crystals cannot be found at any level. There are no differences, but they remain exactly the same in almost every sense.
As for its utilization method, it is quite simple, even incredibly simple.
When it is in the vacuum of the universe, the energy it contains is contained and will not leak in any form.
But once it comes into contact with matter, it imbues it with energy in any form possible!
It can be electrical energy, thermal energy, chemical energy, etc. In other words, it can replace any energy supply. It is like... the essence of energy. All other forms of energy supply are just its External manifestation, and it, this purple transparent crystal, is the energy itself!
The Octopus used one of them for twenty years of testing, and finally confirmed the total amount of energy contained in it, setting the stage for a long colonization journey that would last for hundreds of years.
Due to the consumption of various previous experiments, in the end, only one of the two crystals was left, and most of the energy contained in the other was consumed.
During the subsequent space voyage through the unknown meteorite belt, this half of the energy source was also lost.
Nowadays, there is not much driving energy left for the spacecraft, because the only purple crystal has been almost exhausted during the long journey.
In Octopus Man's memory, Zero found no information that a third purple crystal appeared later. Presumably, it did not exist. If it had, they would not have reached this stage.
To be honest, for Zero, the existence of this kind of thing was quite shocking, and it made him feel a little unreal.
But existence is reasonable. There is no doubt that memory may be misled, but it will not lie. It is also an ironclad fact that the octopus people came here across the vast distance between stars.
Then the authenticity of this matter is infinitely close to one hundred percent.
No matter how unreal it is, since it really exists, Lingben accepts it calmly. Moreover, the existence of this kind of material is also extremely beneficial to the Zerg if you think about it seriously, even if for them this kind of thing now only exists in concept.
As for the energy crystal, we can’t comment on it for now. No matter what Zero has in mind, thinking too much about it before seeing it with your own eyes is in vain.
The top priority now is how to capture as many octopus people as possible and obtain the fruits of the other party's civilization.
After understanding the opponent's specific information, the Octopus Man has almost no secrets about the Zerg, including weapon performance, number of personnel, technological level, etc. Zero already knows everything.
It's just that the problem of ability is the weakness of the Zerg compared to the Octopus. After basically understanding all the information about the other party, Zero is very sure that if the other party is determined to become a turtle, the Zerg can kill them, but if they want to achieve The purpose of zero is absolutely impossible.
These octopus people are top talents in all walks of life. It would be a pity if they were lost.
Of course, if it is really difficult to achieve, Zero will not force it. The top priority is to prevent the other party from exploiting resources on the planet.
Regardless of whether these special "resources" can be obtained, curbing their development is the prerequisite for achieving all goals.
The octopus men restarted resource development under the protection of various weapons such as aircraft, and at the same time closely monitored the movements of the underground insect swarms through detection instruments.
But now Zero doesn't care at all, so what if he monitors him? He can't let the other party develop wantonly here.
In the nearby Zerg base, a large number of Zerg units all started taking action at Zero's thought.
Not just here, dozens of Zerg bases in the ocean and close to the Octopus Outpost also made moves at the same time.
In an instant, the octopus man's alarm sounded, because during the ground detection, an extremely terrifying number of insect swarms were rapidly approaching them!
These bugs are all Zerg units that were hatched in the past but have never been put to great use. Under normal circumstances, their only role is to provide bonuses to the Hive Mind, improve the scientific research efficiency of Sass, and strengthen the functions of the Hive.
Now, the insect swarm, which had been silent for a long time, once again launched a large-scale attack after a hundred years. This time, Zero had made it clear that he wanted to fight against the opponent.
He knew that these bugs would not be able to do anything to the octopus men hiding in the mechanical products, but this time he did not think about doing anything to the other party, he simply prevented them from exploiting resources.
The Octopus quickly reacted to the Zerg's actions. They withdrew the personnel in the mine and put on a defensive posture.
At the same time, the spaceship in space also moved, and a long weapon unit was slowly revealed on its streamlined appearance.
But Zero didn't come for them at all.
The swarm of insects coming from the underground headed straight for the opponent's mining machine. The moment they emerged from the ground, they drowned the roaring machine with their own flesh and blood!
The fearless insect swarm used its own body to overturn it, destroying it as much as possible, consuming and wearing out every component it could attack, forcing it to lose its ability to work.
The Octopus counterattack came the next moment. A large number of Zerg units were cleared one by one due to being too dense, but this had no effect at all. More bugs were crawling out of the ground continuously, vowing to achieve the goal of zero!
Caught off guard, Octopus Man immediately chose to protect the safety of personnel, but did not have time to protect the machine too much.
Although the various weapons deployed in advance caused huge damage to the insect swarm, after the insect swarm overwhelmed the equipment, they could only pour firepower on the following insect swarms.
After obtaining the octopus man's memory, Zero knew very well that the opponent's conventional weapons were still kinetic weapons, which could indeed cause a large amount of damage to the insect swarm, but it was far from being a huge threat.
At the mine, the octopus man was in the aircraft, watching helplessly as the swarm of insects overturned their resource mining equipment to the ground, destroying everything that could be destroyed, and all the external parts that could be removed. , only the helpless main part was left, and then left a pile of corpses and walked away, or in other words, Zero simply gave up on all the bugs that climbed onto the ground!
In the ocean, the same thing is happening.
The Zerg crazily attacked the outpost established by the Octopus. Whether it was the newly built expansion or the extended signal transmission device, everything that could be destroyed was destroyed by the Zerg swarm.
The outpost that was originally suspended in the ocean by special means was also shaken by the swarm of insects.
Of course, because of this, a large number of Zerg foragers once again slumbered under the sea!
The mining operation was forced to terminate, and the swarm sheathed its sword after one attack, leaving only corpses everywhere, a messy scene, and an angry octopus man.
In this short conflict, they suffered zero battle losses and consumed at least 50,000 to 60,000 Zerg individuals. Zerg corpses littered the fields, especially in the mines, where they almost built a hill with these machines as the core!
