Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

A war with the mechanical civilization Mira that spanned more than ten years has finally come to an end.

Zero didn't know whether this intelligent life, which was absolutely unique among the many lives encountered by the Zerg so far, still existed, but in any case, the HC-006 galaxy was finally controlled by the Zerg again.

This war is different from all previous wars launched by the Zerg. Their enemy is not a real intelligent life, but an entity that cannot be observed in reality.

Therefore, the insect swarm failed to obtain the coveted "trophy" in the process. Even if they destroyed millions of mechanical battleships and countless various surface mechanical warriors, they still could not change this.

The Zerg know very little about Mira's knowledge system.

But it’s not like I got nothing at all.

Back on the dwarf planet in the asteroid belt, the insect swarm had relatively completely occupied several of the opponent's nuclear fusion reactors.

Although the Zerg can now directly turn the Zerg unit into a thermonuclear weapon, which is actually equivalent to a nuclear fusion reaction, it is uncontrollable and can only be used as a weapon and cannot be used in production.

Although both are fusion reactions, there is a huge gap between thermonuclear weapons and controllable nuclear fusion.

If there are no accidents, since the advent of thermonuclear weapons, it will take at least hundreds or even hundreds of years for the Zerg to complete the step of controlled nuclear fusion.

After all, among the bugs, there are still too few bugs that can be called intelligent units.

However, Mira obviously has such technology. There are large or micro fusion reactors on the surface of various planets and even in various mechanical battleships, but most of them are in Destroyed by the Zerg during the war.

There are very few that have real scientific research value, but in the end, some are still taken over by the insect swarm.

Although this war lasted only a short time, only more than ten years in total, the intensity was quite high every time. Almost all the warring planets were plowed, especially the planets with surface wars, including some Taking the three satellites of Planet 6 as the most.

They have experienced three major wars, and it can even be said that they are almost destroyed.

Because of this, it was difficult to preserve the hardware facilities captured by the Zerg in the war, let alone carry out research. During the war, the Zerg rarely had such time to complete this matter.

However, before the first decisive battle between the Zerg led by Visser and Mira, the fusion reactor captured from the dwarf planet had already been targeted by Sass.

Time was tight at the time, and it was not known when Mira's main fleet would arrive. Therefore, Sass made a rather rude decision.

At that time, the Zerg's asteroid devourer in space had just come out. This giant squid-like creature that could fully stretch its body in space and reach hundreds of kilometers was flexibly used here.

Naturally, due to the gravity of the planet, its size is much smaller. Even with the tentacles improved to adapt to surface activities, the total is only a few kilometers. Compared with the Zerg biological battleship, there is no doubt that little guy.

Even so, it was an absolute behemoth on that dwarf planet at that time!

Sass let it "swallow" the entire fusion reactor, as well as all nearby areas, into its belly, and then consumed a lot of energy to quietly enter the darkness of the universe and hide.

Of course, before this, the fusion reactor had been carefully "cleaned" by the Zerg unit to ensure that there were no hidden dangers.

For the past ten years, in addition to actively preparing to launch a counterattack against Mira, Sass has also led the Cerebrates to secretly and carefully study this technological crystallization from mechanical civilization.

In this regard, the Zerg also have their own set of theories. After all, since the nuclear reaction has occurred for so long, Sass and the others have long wanted to turn the more convenient fusion reaction into a conventional energy source for the Zerg navigation. For this reason, they have also A lot of effort has gone into it.

Through the study of the fusion reactor produced by Mira, combined with the theory that the Zerg itself had been born, the Cerebrates had begun to carry out this work since then.

Although they are generally interoperable in principle, this transformation involving mass and energy is the operating rule of the universe and does not differ depending on species.

But from a small perspective, Mira and the Zerg are completely different. To turn the other party's fusion reactor into an energy supply system suitable for the Zerg itself is not a simple replica.

The brainworms need to understand and understand from the root, and use this to reconstruct the controllable nuclear fusion reaction of the Zerg.

This will take some time. Now that the enemy has disappeared, the brainworms can continue to concentrate on scientific research activities. Since the insect swarm had some theoretical foundations before, even if it is relatively simple, it is enough to make this project much less difficult. , and with the existence of mature samples, it will not be a long time to come up with the results.

In addition to controllable nuclear fusion, the Zerg also made many unique discoveries in the ruins left over from the war.

Mira's energy laser weapon was very effective in mid-range combat, and Zero was interested in studying its specific principles to see if it could be used for his own purposes.

In the hands of the Zerg, it may not be able to play the role of accurately intercepting kinetic energy weapons. After all, the Zerg does not have the rapid calculation and modeling capabilities that are accurate to the millisecond level like Mira, but it is still a means of attack. For the Zerg, It also has certain reference significance.

At this point, there is a lot more research material for the Zerg. Micro-level structural analysis is not difficult for Sass. Energy utilization is actually one of the Zerg's strengths, and Dagos has been focusing on studying the Zerg's warfare methods for the past few years. It has been a hundred years, and it also has a wealth of experience. At least at this point, it has a ready-made template, and there is a high probability that it will yield results.

In addition to controllable nuclear fusion and the weapon assembly system of the Mira fleet, the Zerg's biggest gain in this war is the progress in material technology.

The material technology displayed by the Mira Fleet is much better than that developed by the Zerg by continuing the technology system of the Octopus. During the war, the Zerg also used the remains of the Mira Fleet to develop on a large scale. itself, so Sass knows exactly how powerful these materials are. If they can be used on the Zerg themselves, there will be a considerable improvement in both the further transformation of the Zerg's body shape and the enhancement of their offensive and defensive capabilities.

Although no systematic scientific and technological theory has been obtained, with ready-made samples, it is not possible to leave empty-handed, at least it can be regarded as a direction for research.

In the future, the various abilities of the insect swarm will also be raised to a higher level because of this. Compared with the direct extraction of memory and knowledge systems, it is naturally much slower and not comprehensive enough. However, compared with getting nothing, it is still better. Stronger.

It is worth mentioning that during the war, the Zerg also captured a large number of mechanical main force, and even some of the command ships used by Mira to remotely control the fleet.

Of course, Mira has also captured a large number of Zerg units, but neither Zero nor the Cerebrates such as Sass paid much attention to this. In such a war, this is inevitable.
