Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

In the past few thousand years, many civilizations within the alliance have jointly studied wormholes to a certain extent due to some shared technologies.

Exploring outwards through wormholes was once one of the key directions of the alliance in history, but after it lasted for hundreds of years, it soon stopped being taken seriously.

First, the cost is high. Opening the wormhole channel and maintaining its continuous operation requires extremely large amounts of energy and resources, and maintaining its stable operation is also a large expense.

This expense is not worth mentioning to the Zerg, but for an intelligent race that must use every energy as useful as possible, even if it has achieved "energy freedom" to a large extent, for this kind of Consumption cannot be completely ignored.

Secondly, there are areas within the explored universe that are sufficient for their expansion and development, and the population and needs within the civilization have not produced an extremely strong desire to explore outwards.

Without domestic demand, wormhole exploration will naturally no longer be taken seriously, not to mention that expansion into unknown star fields through wormholes also faces huge risks.

At first, it was the risk caused by the instability of the wormhole. After it was solved, it faced an unknown risk that was even more difficult to deal with - the mysterious disappearance of the exploration team.

With Zhu Na's operational efficiency and ability, if they fail to master the method, no matter how well prepared they are, they will not be able to avoid the fate of death in a short period of time.

In addition, the star fields discovered through wormhole exploration also require wormholes to maintain dominance, which is a huge cost. When the investment is not proportional to the reward, this method can only become a game for wealthy travelers or explorers.

Even if the technology has matured.

When the joint wormhole exploration was a popular activity, not long after the Zerg defeated the lizardmen, the wormhole was still a distant thing that only existed in fantasy for Zero, and his eyes had just shifted to In the starry sky above our heads.

Naturally, among the many exits, this so-called pan-galactic alliance did not find the "empty" Critchtel, and of course it did not encounter the Zerg.

Nowadays, the wormhole channel is used more as a communication channel between member civilizations for the Federation. For example, in this meeting and negotiation event, each civilization will send representatives to reach the jointly determined galaxy in this way. .

It is convenient and fast, and due to the long cycle, the average cost is not high.

Zero doesn't know whether giving up or partially giving up the exploration of wormholes is a good thing for intelligent civilization, but for existences like the Zerg, it will definitely do more harm than good.

The most obvious difference is that this time, the Zerg discovered them first, but the other party did not notice the arrival of the Zerg.

Ruhr felt that with civilized caution, some unknown safeguards should be installed at the wormhole exit, even if he did not use them, to prevent unknown enemies from attacking him through such means.

But it no longer cares. The insect swarm has arrived at the predetermined location. Although it is not clear what the situation is outside the passage, there are more than 100,000 fully armed large insect units behind it, and countless small and medium-sized units, giving it enough The confidence to step out of the channel.

The Zerg wormhole creature is ready. It can control the wormhole exit as soon as possible, allowing the Zerg Fleet to quickly enter the real universe and fully deploy its combat power to deal with possible powerful enemies.

Unfortunately, this time it was destined to hit the air with a heavy punch.

In order to uphold the consistent principle of peaceful coexistence, although this meeting, information and material exchanges also have many military provisions, the armed forces of all parties have not gathered here on a large scale. Now in this galaxy, except for wormholes Apart from the garrison, the only weapons that exist are the guard fleets of each civilization and some inherent galaxy defense measures, and at most some elite civilized warriors.

The so-called wormhole garrison, under the long-term peaceful status quo, has slowly taken on the nature of a ceremonial reception and is composed of outstanding and representative warships selected by each civilization or regime.

The so-called representativeness of civilization, in addition to high-tech, of course also includes some historical heritage, etc. In general, the good and the bad are mixed, and the symbolic significance is greater than the actual significance.

However, the wormhole defense system predicted by Ruhr does exist. Just in case, the coalition has jointly set up strong means of destruction here. If an unknown and invincible enemy appears, the wormhole will be forcibly closed immediately. , and activate all defensive means to isolate the danger within the wormhole.

The Swarm still had the upper hand, though, because they were in the dark.

When the first batch of Zerg warships poured out of the wormhole and caused a series of violent reactions, no one could react immediately. Whether it is the wormhole garrison on duty near the entrance of the wormhole, or the warriors of various civilizations maintaining basic order in the space station.

Everything was so sudden, even if they knew clearly that this possibility existed, they didn't react at all for a moment.

Real-time communication between the inside of a wormhole and the outside world has always been a huge problem, because it involves the issue of time flow, making this problem difficult to answer in the real universe.

Therefore, deploying defense forces from inside the wormhole has become a difficult thing to control. Even the Zerg has not been able to do this.

To say that there is no defense against wormholes is not to say that. In the past thousands of years, in order to ensure the safety of this place, the Federation once dispatched the most elite warships to form a joint fleet to be on duty. However, anything may deteriorate in the face of time. Thousands of years have passed, and everything has been peaceful. The wormhole makes it a waste for these elite fleets to stay here.

Even if they knew that this passage to a higher dimension might be dangerous, it would not help.

When the first civilization to evacuate its elite fleets and replace them with conventional garrison forces appeared, this matter was already doomed.

A civilized think tank will obviously not be so short-sighted, but it is actually difficult for them to change anything, especially after the subsequent measures to force the closure of wormholes and the need for civilization to expand outwards to ensure that it remains in the Commonwealth. within the dominant position and right to speak.

Beyond that, it's hard to say whether there's some unrealistic self-confidence involved.

But none of this matters anymore.

Swarms of insects surged out of the wormhole like swarms of swarms. It was as if they had returned to the time when they rushed out of the ant nest and rushed towards the termite nest more than 1,500 years ago.

However, their size has increased countless times, and the island that originally accommodated them is now only equivalent to a small part of their bodies.

The coalition responded quickly, but Ruhr was obviously well prepared.

When the wormhole was disconnected and the opponent's first wave of attacks came, the Zerg gravity generator had been deployed and the temporary small channel had been opened.

Then, like an earthworm meandering upward, a bug "climbed" onto the edge of the channel. With the huge energy supply, the originally small channel quickly became larger like a "blowing balloon".

Until then, things were unstoppable. The main force of the Hive Fleet quickly descended into the real universe through the exit. The huge, ferocious and orderly sequence of battleships all represented their terrifying combat power. These embroidered pillows in front of them were definitely not comparable to the antiques!
