Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

Completely transforming the Velvets into the Zerg's exclusive scientific research tools is Zero's ultimate goal for this civilization.

Regarding the difficult problem of sub-dimensional channels, they have given sufficiently satisfactory results before. If it weren't for the breakthrough in gravity, the Zerg would not be able to explore hundreds of surrounding galaxies at the same time as they do now.

This time, the old Pope once again took over this mission in the name of the future of the Federation, leading the team to once again overcome problems for the Zerg.

Of course, he didn't know this. In recent years, the Federation's strong support for related scientific and technological research has made him feel a little unusual, but he is just a scientific researcher, and everything he does is beneficial to the Federation, and those military and national affairs have not yet come. He went to worry about it, so he didn't take it to heart and accepted it all calmly.

The Zerg lurkers are hidden deep enough. Under normal circumstances, they will not be any different from before. No one can pry into the thoughts of these high-ranking federal officials and discover that they have become traitors to the federation.

Speaking of Zerg lurkers, Zero actually has some ideas. As they are now, while these lurkers consume a lot of control of the Hive Mind, they will also affect individual creativity, making it impossible for the Zerg to attack scientific researchers. The disadvantages It's still too obvious.

Although the Zerg lurker "seeds" played a significant role in evading the Velvets, Zero was still not satisfied.

Compared with the Zerg brainworms, the lifespan of the Velvet people is too short. The knowledge they have learned throughout their lives will be dissipated with their death. This has caused the entire civilization to continue to lose its scientific research power. .

Perhaps in the eyes of the Velvet people, this is a common thing. It is normal for living things to grow old, get sick, and die.

But for Zero, who regarded the Velvets completely as assets of the Zerg, this was too much of a waste.

An intelligent life must undergo more than sixty years of study since birth before it can initially embark on the path of scientific research.

And to reach the top of a certain field on this road, it will take more than sixty years?

After such a long period of study, one's own knowledge level has reached the top, and then just shine and radiate heat at this stage for tens and hundreds of years, and then it has passed. Isn't this a waste?

Sometimes Zero also wonders whether in an intelligent civilization like theirs, one day in the future, latecomers will be unable to catch up with their predecessors throughout their lives.

He once read the history of the Velvet people. Since entering the information age, in fact, every generation of Velvet people has become smarter on average than their predecessors.

This increase in intelligence level may not be too obvious for decades, but when the time is extended to hundreds or even thousands of years, this can be clearly seen. There is no doubt that even today's Will The human brain is still evolving, too.

At the same time, the development of medical health, biotechnology and other aspects has caused the average life span of Velvet people to continue to increase. When they first stepped out of their home planet, their average lifespan, converted into the time unit used by the Zerg, was only about 170 years.

Before the Zerg appeared that year, they already had a long lifespan of an average of three hundred years.

But in contrast, due to the rapid development of science and technology, every individual needs to learn more and more basic knowledge after birth. Nowadays, if a Velvet person wants to complete basic education and be able to have a skill in society, he must at least After eighty years of long education.

Yes, in terms of average intelligence, they are much higher than the "ancients" thousands of years ago, but from the perspective of biological evolution, a thousand years is actually nothing.

However, the development of their technology in this millennium is unimaginable in the past thousands of years.

When a Velvet man has gone through hundreds of years of education and learning, and has reached the end of his life before he has been able to make sufficient contributions, how can this not make people sigh?

This is also the fundamental reason why Zero feels that letting these talents die like this is a huge waste.

These are valuable assets of the Zerg. Compared to those federal politicians and officials, they should not be lost in vain over the years.

Therefore, as early as a few decades ago, the idea was born that Zerg lurkers could be made more useful, and they, the real talents, could become part of the Zerg without being creatively hindered. Trauma and further gain a longer lifespan.

After Sass handed over matters related to Velvet civilization to Todd step by step, he has already started trying to solve this problem, but there is no definite result yet.

Under the premise that the Zerg have basically mastered the development of Velvet civilization, a few experimental samples are not a problem at all. The difficulty lies in how to make these valuable talents available to the Zerg without affecting their creativity.

In contrast, it becomes easier to increase their lifespan after this. Sass is very professional in terms of biological structure. At least at the biological level, it is not difficult to use Zerg technology to further extend the lifespan of Velvet people.

In the year 1344 of the Zerg, Ruhr, the brainworm, located the third Zerg star system with energy veins in this galaxy based on the nearest dimensional passage exit, and led his own Zerg unit into it, turning it into a Zerg development Another important node in the process.

It is a star field more than 2300 light-years away from the main body of the Zerg Ori system. It has reached the edge of this cantilever. Moving outward, although it is still inside the galaxy, the density of stars will decrease significantly until it reaches another branch. to the cantilever.

At this time, Zero gradually made plans to "move". Although the Ori system was indeed the origin of the Zerg, and the Zerg's home planet also existed here, the Cerebrates were placed in a single star system, and It doesn’t fit in with His previous plans for the future.

Ruhl and Todd have taken the first step. They travel between various galaxies based on sub-dimensional channels. The other has gradually taken another huge civilization tens of thousands of light years away into his own hands.

But now the Zerg have seven Cerebrates, most of which are still in Orui's main base. Zero plans to release them all later. With the crazy growth of the Zerg clan, it is not impossible to control all the Zerg swarms with a single brainworm or Zero itself, but as long as they are living creatures, there must be energy limitations. Many Sometimes it is impossible to control the details so perfectly.

At this time, letting each brainworm take charge of its own affairs and allowing it to develop on its own, while Zero takes command, is undoubtedly the best solution to the current situation.

Therefore, he plans to move the Zerg main base to Crichtel where the "transportation" is more convenient in the near future.

It was once the home planet of the octopus people, and now Zero intends to occupy the magpie's nest, and from there, extend the will of the Zerg race through the second-dimensional passage.

As a result, a batch of energy crystals was urgently called and transported directly from Krichtel to the Ori system for the Zerg to "move".

This is actually not troublesome. After all, moving is just a matter of picking up the brainworms. As for everything in Orui, there is no shortage of it in Critchtel.
