Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

In the year 1227 of the Zerg, the Cerebrates headed by Sass completed the organization and digestion of the information obtained from the Velvet database.

The hyperdrive, which had kept the Zerg out for hundreds of years, revealed its secrets to Zero for the first time.

Of course, the principles are already understood, but how to implement Zerg-based applications still requires some research.

From Zero's perspective, this method of navigation using energy crystals as driving energy has almost involved preliminary space technology, because it is not the super-light speed "channel" as previously imagined, but is released in an instant by energy crystals. The huge energy produced makes it "move" within a limited space, just like an athlete riding a wave, pushing forward on the "wave" of space.

Although it does not directly travel through space in the true sense, it does involve the application of space technology. This kind of propulsion method, the so-called super-light engine, should actually be called a warp engine, but it just uses energy crystals as the energy source.

What surprised him was that this method of navigation did not require a high amount of energy, at least not compared to this method of navigation that could exceed the speed of light. If converted, it would only be higher than the Zerg's current demand. The energy consumption of conventional navigation is just higher!

Correspondingly, the reason why the Velvet people finally illuminated the super-light navigation technology after discovering the existence of energy veins was because of the "quality" of energy!

The energy from the energy crystal is the most "pure" energy that the Zerg has seen so far. It is like the essence of energy. It can be used in various ways, and the efficiency is extremely exaggerated.

It is no surprise that it is used here by the Velvet people.

As for how to turn it into a zerg, Sass still needs some technological support. Although they are familiar with its principles, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. In addition to completing the theoretical design, the hyperdrive, the cutting-edge technology of the Velvet people, also needs support from other aspects, especially material technology.

To this end, Sass is planning to take action against some senior scientific research officials of the Velvet people.

For outstanding scientific researchers, Zero has now regarded them as his own high-quality property and will not destroy them easily. But for some Velvites who have almost exhausted their potential due to old age, or who have given up pure scientific research and turned to administration and hold high positions, they are the living knowledge base and high-level authority.

Now, the Zerg need them to contribute to their development, and Sass will naturally not be stingy with a few lurker seeds.

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

Carlson, or Lurker Carlson, as a young and promising politician in a high position, he was on the target of Zerg infiltration from the very beginning.

Two years ago, the Zerg took a month to change his bottom-level thinking and turned into a high-ranking Zerg lurker.

Under Sass's careful preparation, no one realized that the highest officer of the Ministry of Public Security of the Federation's home planet no longer recognized his identity as a Velvet in the deepest part of his consciousness.

He helped the insect swarm cover up the information theft from the Supreme Scientific Research Institute, and at the same time cooperated with the Planetary Defense Department to allow the insect swarm to operate freely in uninhabited areas.

This time, he will shoulder the important task of sending the Zerg lurker seeds to the Federal Parliament.

The Velvet Federation has a total of nine most important colonial galaxies. If you include the home planet, there are exactly ten galaxies. They are the core area of ​​the federation and the key areas where the entire Velvet people are distributed.

From the Grand Commander downwards, there are a total of 14,023 members of the Council, with branches on various planets, especially the home planet.

In addition, each colonial system also has its own governor and authority, which exists as a lower-level administrative unit of the federation.

Together, they control most of the power in the entire federation and rule this huge civilization with a population of more than 100 billion and a territory spanning hundreds of light years. They are the top existence of the federation!

Of course, based on the different interests they represent and the complicated and difficult-to-understand political situation, the most powerful among these tens of thousands of members are only fourteen.

The Zerg are currently unable to control the entire council, but it is not difficult to extend their tentacles into it and select a few from the top to serve as spokespersons for the interests of the Zerg.

This time, Carlson’s target is the deputy speaker.

Legally speaking, members of parliament, including the speaker, do not actually have executive power. That is to say, they do participate in the highest federal decision-making, but they do not have the power to intervene in specific affairs.

As we all know, compared to their power, the law is just a cloak that can be put on when needed.

For example, Deputy Speaker Tron is inextricably linked to the Federal Home Planet’s Department of Public Security. Of course, it's not just the Sheriff's Department.

As a minister, Carlson's visit to him was not an out-of-the-blue thing.

That night, the servant found that the usually low-key master looked very happy. He talked with Carlson for a long time in the study and did not leave until late at night.

Just seventeen Ori Days later, the Federation's top secrets were opened to the Zerg.

There are many infiltration activities going on at the same time. Sass is turning the leaders of the entire civilization into Zerg lurkers in a way that the Velvet people have never thought of.

Of course, in this process, the Zerg also got what they wanted.

The technological database of the Velvet people was fully open to the Zerg, including the military's top-secret information, which also entered the control of the Zerg after Sass used some tricks. The time it took to do this from scratch was only a short amount of time. Just three years.

If there is any knowledge that the Zerg cannot obtain at the moment, then there are only the ideas and unpublished results in the minds of some top scientific researchers.

Among the information that has been obtained, one of the ones that Zero is more concerned about is the technology related to the hyperlight engine, including its front-end technology and subsequent development.

The second one is the Velvet people's research on energy veins that we have paid attention to before.

Through this information, Zero learned that not long ago, that is, about a few decades ago, the Velvet people had overcome a technical difficulty and confirmed the influence of gravity on the passage of mineral veins.

Theoretically speaking, if a drastic gravitational change is caused near the exit while the channel is opening, it can have a certain impact on this "mineral channel" and encourage it to "stay" for a long time.

Of course, the specific impact needs to be judged based on the actual situation, but judging from the simulation results, as long as gravitational fluctuations occur, the results should be relatively optimistic.

To this end, they restarted the previously stagnant gravity technology, intending to make efforts in this area to overcome the problem of energy veins.

Although the consumption of energy crystals by the hyperdrive is not large, for a civilization with only three veins and such low output, as the civilization continues to grow, the energy crystal reserves will be in short supply from time to time.

Therefore, the Velvet people urgently need more reserves to meet the never-ending pace of development of civilization.

However, decades have passed, and at least judging from the information obtained by Zero, the other party's achievements are still limited.
