Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

Some speculations about the energy life Zhuna actually did not play any substantial role in the development of the Zerg, at least in a short period of time.

But regarding the wormhole itself, Zero did have some ideas.

His original plan was to make the wormhole a continuously open channel to communicate with the swarms of insects scattered in various star systems.

But now this behavior may lead to huge risks, but will bring a lot of unnecessary casualties to the Zerg. The previous preparations are obviously bankrupt. Until this problem is truly solved, the wormhole cannot be permanently opened and used.

However, this method of access has not been abandoned by Zero. If it is not possible to open it permanently, it is still feasible to open it briefly when needed.

Judging from the experience of these two times, each time a wormhole is opened, it will take at least several decades for something to happen, so temporarily supplying the Zerg's traffic needs should not be a big problem.

From the origin galaxy to Lyman, there is a long distance of more than six million light years. With the Zerg's current super-light speed navigation capability, it would take hundreds of thousands of years to connect the two galaxies. This is unacceptable.

And if you use wormholes to communicate, according to Ruhr's previous practice of sailing in them, it will only take about four Orian years!

That’s a difference of 100,000 times!

Zero will not give up on studying Zhuna, which exists widely in the Lyman galaxy. The ability they show to span thousands of light-years in a short time clearly far exceeds that of the Zerg and Velvet people. hyperdrive.

It is very likely that there are fundamental differences between the two in principle.

Therefore, Zero hopes to obtain more advanced navigation technology through observation and research of these "Zuna Splits" to help the insect swarm expand further.

In addition, after initially understanding the threat of the wormhole, the brainworm Ruhr, who had been forced to stop exploring before, also began to work again. At least in the past hundreds of years, it has not encountered any uncontrollable crisis inside the channel. , so Zero also thinks that there is no need to be too careful.

On the contrary, what it needs to worry about is hitting Zhuna head-on. At that time, it really won't have much resistance, and it will almost die.

…………

Sass has been a little busy recently. First of all, it is a study on how the expression of special genetic material from a certain living planet on the Zerg body is always fatal. Although it believes that there is some secret in it, it has never had a clue.

Then there is the improvement of the Zerg lurkers. Zero hopes that the lurker seeds will no longer affect the creativity of intelligent creatures, while continuing to extend their lifespan, thus allowing the Zerg to directly possess the effectiveness of some intelligent life researchers to supplement the brain worms. Scarcity.

But again, hundreds of years have passed and there is still no progress on this matter. Prolonging life can be done with all your strength. If it is really necessary, Sass is still very confident that it can be completed.

But when the "seeds" of Zerg lurkers enter intelligent organisms and directly affect their thinking patterns, the impact on their creativity is almost inevitable. In other words, when an intelligent creature transforms into a Zerg lurker, it is unlikely that he will achieve any innovative achievements in his life.

This is unacceptable to the Zerg, and Zero does not need a creature who is knowledgeable but unable to innovate to join the Zerg scientific research team.

Because of this, this matter has been unable to make progress.

Recently, Sass has added a new task, which is to try to help Ruhr detect whether there is danger at the unknown exit of the passage. This matter is said to be necessary, but it is not that important to say it is unnecessary.

In order to avoid the threat of "Zhu Na", the method currently used by Ruhr is to let the Zerg units following it appear in the real universe when the channel is opened, without himself showing up.

If they are not dead, then the Zerg can use this to directly lock the location of this galaxy without it showing up.

Vice versa is also true.

However, this method is mostly used for the exploration of the Lyman galaxy. In the origin galaxy, Ruhr does not need to be so careful.

In addition, Sass also needs to take care of the expansion of the insect swarm within the base camp.

All in all, although the number of Zerg brainworms has increased to eight, Sass still hasn't been able to get the leisure it wanted.

It's not that the other Cerebrates are idle, Zero is only staring at Sass. Now the development of the Zerg is mainly focused on two aspects. One is the war with the Velvets. Letting an intelligent race serve itself wholeheartedly has many benefits. At least within the next thousand years, or before the Velvets lose their value, Zero will not give up on them.

As for the second one, it is about the research on energy life Zhuna and wormholes in the Lyman Galaxy.

Both of these involve too much energy of other Cerebrates. The former is in charge of Visser, Todd, Dagos, etc., while the latter is remotely controlled by Gore and others. They also need to take into account the needs of the insect swarm in their own star field. With development and expansion, coupled with the elusive Ruhr entering the wormhole, all the brainworms are busy, and Sass, as the intelligent unit with the most profound knowledge in the true sense, must take on more scientific research tasks.

Today, the swarm's sphere of influence in the galaxy of origin has occupied about one-five millionth of the river system. It may sound trivial or even ridiculous, but you must know that the entire galaxy contains more than 200 billion stars!

Even if it's only one in five million, that's a total of more than 40,000 stars!

After super-light navigation was illuminated, the expansion speed of the insect swarm increased greatly. It originally took hundreds of years for the insect swarm to occupy more than a thousand star systems, but in just the past hundred years, the star field that the insect swarm recently arrived at , the total number of stars exceeds ten thousand!

The swarm of insects is expanding crazily inside the river system in the form of an exponential explosion. The further back, the faster the speed will be. Until one day, the entire river system is full of insects.

But then again, although the Zerg are now blooming in all directions, and Zerg life is breeding and expanding on every cantilever, the area they occupy is actually still not worth mentioning for the entire galaxy. Therefore, At this moment, it is far from being said that the swarm has embraced the entire galaxy. There are still endless secrets here.

Zero maintains a strong interest in exploration as always, and the Velvet Federation is not the only advanced civilization in this universe. If the Zerg want to develop, the best choice is to meet them.

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

Zerg In 1564, the Velvet people made all preparations. A ring-shaped particle accelerator was like a Great Wall surrounding the orbit of the entire planet, staying here quietly.

It applies the Federation's highest material technology. It is not only a particle collider or accelerator, but also the Federation's scientific research center in this star system and even this desolate star field. It represents the development direction of the Velvet people in this vast area. .

After completing this experiment, it will also serve as a special research station for high-energy electrons to further reveal the secrets hidden in dark matter for the Federation.

Everything was ready. As energy began to be supplied, the entire huge structure instantly became "active" from the original dead object. Compared with before, a strong sense of science fiction hit us. It is the crystallization of the highest technology in the Federation. It is a real wonder of the man-made universe, enough to make Velvet people proud of it!
