Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

Compared with Ori, the central star of the Critter Galaxy is one size larger. Its mass reaches 1.4 times that of Ori, but its volume is 1.6 times that of the latter, which means that its average density It is slightly smaller than the Ori Central star.

This star, which has radiated its light and heat into the galaxy since ancient times, has created an area suitable for life. Its planets 3 and 4 orbit at a moderate distance from the star, which means that the energy from the star will not turn this place into a lava field, nor will it keep it frozen all year round.

Compared with Planet 4, a gas giant planet, Planet 3, a rocky planet, obviously has a more superior environment.

But perhaps due to fate, although it is almost the same distance from the star, it did not give birth to a civilization like Ori.

On the contrary, one of the most massive satellites in the orbit of Planet 4 took over its mission. Under not so superior conditions, the fire of life was born, and finally grew into a planet that later reached the level of interstellar navigation. Civilization - Octopus Man.

Visser commanded the swarm to devour all the "space junk" in orbit. These man-made objects have no reference significance for today's Zerg. Over the years, the technology of the octopus civilization has been basically eliminated by the brainworms. Got it all.

Maybe there are still some that haven't been applied, but that's more because they don't apply to the Zerg's development, rather than because they don't understand it.

After clearing the orbit of this natural satellite, it is time to conduct a more in-depth exploration. The Zerg Devourers began to launch landing activities on the surface of this satellite.

Without the protection of the atmosphere, it is much easier for the swarm to land. In Zero's field of vision, it is like a completely dead planet, quietly suspended in the darkness of space, with the help of energy from the stars. The light illuminated half of his blue body.

Whenever it moves to the side of giant planet No. 4 that is close to the star, the heat from the star will melt and evaporate the solid water on its surface and enter the sky. If everything is normal, it should be due to this effect in the future. The atmosphere was restored, but unfortunately, its orbit had been severely affected long ago, changing from a roughly circular orbit to a flat ellipse.

The direct result of this is that every time it completes a complete revolution, it will have an opportunity to get extremely close to the giant planet, and this "opportunity" will cause it to lose the "atmosphere" it continues to accumulate in the process.

——To this day, it is still losing mass to giant planets!

Perhaps it cannot be said that they were taken away, they were just scattered in space.

But all this is not important to Visser. If this is not the hometown of the Octopus, it may retain the secret of the Octopus's acquisition of energy crystals. It may not choose this place as the first base of the Zerg in this galaxy. site.

After the Devourers landed, they immediately began a comprehensive survey of the entire planet. Of course, before that, they needed to hatch enough Zerg units.

As usual, the swarm began to move all the way deep underground. This planet obviously still has a hot core frozen in ice, which will be the best energy source for the zerg expansion activities at this stage.

The adaptability of the insect swarm to the alien environment has been strengthened and transformed by Sass as early as the time of Ori. In the following hundreds of years, it has undergone several evolutions, whether it is an extremely cold planet or a lava planet. Even on high-gravity planets with a mass about three times that of Ori, the Zerg can have enough adaptability, just by spending more energy.

This planet has obviously suffered a lot in the past few hundred years. Under the thick ice, Visser found a lot of evidence of geological activities, and he could also vaguely find some proof that octopus people once existed. Architectural remains, or some unnatural objects.

Unfortunately, Visser found no traces of living octopus men here, not even dormant equipment like those in space.

The violent geological activities here once erased a large number of traces of the existence of civilization. The insect swarm found some plant seeds that had lost their vitality within the ice and deeper underground spaces. They did not survive in such an extreme environment.

Although it has not been observed at the microscopic level, it is almost certain that this is a planet with no life.

Visser was a little disappointed. If the octopus civilization still existed, we might be able to find some information about Zero's concern through them, and at the same time, we could also obtain some knowledge of survival and development for thousands of years from them. This is obviously impossible now.

Apart from the fact that it gave birth to the octopus civilization, this planet has no other special features. It is essentially no different from the planets that can be seen everywhere in various galaxies in the universe.

As the insect swarm searched deeper and deeper, Visser gradually began to correct his mentality. Since no useful clues can be found here, it's time to move on to the next step.

The Zerg swarm began to accumulate resources here and incubate the first armed force. At the same time, the other two satellites in the orbit of Planet 4 were gradually brought under their rule by the Zerg colonists.

Time passed little by little, and the first Zerg armed fleet of the TD-004 galaxy, an armed force of more than two thousand biological warships, was formed in space. At the same time, a small space dock was also established in the orbit of the third satellite. established on.

Generally speaking, as long as they don't encounter a special being like Mira, this "small" fleet is enough to ensure the normal progress of the Zerg colonial activities, at least it will not be annihilated in one strike.

The next step is to accumulate resources to send out the fleet for the next round of Zerg colonial expansion, and to hatch Zerg space explorers for exploring the fourth planetary system.

Although there is no ready-made octopus man to "guide the way", according to the memory data from the octopus man colonial team, a "space anomaly" once appeared between the orbit of Planet 4 and its second satellite, and the octopus man also obtained Two energy crystals used this to start their interstellar voyage.

Zero is very curious about this. How this kind of thing came into being is just like his own existence, which is inconsistent with the common sense he knows.

But memory doesn't lie, there's no doubt that this happened.

So is it possible that there is a third or more energy crystal left here?

Nowadays, the energy supply of the Zerg is sufficient. Although there is a demand for the energy provided by this substance, it is not necessary. Even if it cannot be found, he will not be so disappointed.

It's just that Zero has always maintained enough curiosity about unknown substances. Since there is such a phenomenon in the universe that is beyond his own knowledge, and the place where this wonder occurs is now right in front of him, he has no reason not to study it. Fan, not to mention that this substance itself is also useful to the Zerg. If there is enough support, the Zerg may be able to take this a step further in a short time!

Hatching a small colonial fleet is no longer difficult for today's Zerg. The only thing that takes some time, besides their own growth, is the collection of fusion raw materials.
