Chapter 039 The King of Zerg

Date record abnormal\Combat deployment time: +12:22

Zerg's mother planet, the alliance fleet in the raid, a combined ship "Endless-Imperial Expedition"

Zheng Qi sat on the chair of the cruiser Captain "Endless", and the large screen in front of him was a coalition fleet that was scattered in a row, attacking the Zerg parent star. The transparent shield enveloped the body of the warship, and the huge fleet slowly advanced.

The Zerg's high-intelligent shells attacked the fleet overwhelmingly, but were intercepted by the silver-white film a few meters away from the warship, or destroyed by the shot laser. The Alliance fleet, in these intensive attacks, moved forward step by step towards the Zerg's mother planet.

Zheng Qi did not go crazy, nor did the others go crazy. They are indeed using twenty-one warships as their full combat power to attack the Zerg's home planet - their most important stronghold - as the queen who commands the brain, she hides in this planet, staring at the Alliance fleet through the Zerg's gaze.

This was not unprepared, but it could be considered a hasty decision. They stayed away from the alien battlefield and entered the transition fault space. At this time, Ianti reported some useful information - she was not so obedient when she was patrolling the internal network of the alien mothership. So, some confidential documents were brought out by her.

According to information stolen by Ianti from the wandering alien race, they owned six other motherships around these galaxies, carrying a huge fleet. They all dispatched to wait for an opportunity to break through all the planets occupied by the Zerg. At this time, it was just a white-hot time, and the Zerg sent all their troops out. In other words, the Zerg's mother planet now has pitifully few defenses.

This is equivalent to the wandering alien race attracting the tigers in the mountains and forests, and the forest is now empty.

This is a really good opportunity, but Zheng Qi has not been so crazy yet - it was a dispute initiated by Ianti's extremely belligerent artificial intelligence!

After stealing the news, she could not suppress her excitement and constantly described the benefits of attacking her mother star to Zheng Qi. Zheng Qi could not resist her, and seeing her full confidence, and the candy she gave was so tempting that the beginning scene came.

Although the Zerg's thinking is synchronized, it is obvious that it is impossible to turn around if you want to use one person to deal with Zheng Qi's chaotic and disorganized battles. At least the dispersed fleet has destroyed some Zerg's warships, and the magnetic cannons they fired have destroyed the Zerg's spaceport and scrapped all the warships inside.

"Their tactics are not very clever, but they react very quickly. If we attack strongly, it will probably take some time." Zheng Qi studied the distribution of warships around them. They still used a destroyer, a frigate and a cruiser as the main offensive formations.

But the combined ship he is in is an exception. Although the combination of the two main battleships has extremely powerful firepower, it is at the expense of mobility and may become victims of the Zerg's strange shells at any time. Fortunately, there is a special reactor that provides energy shields for luxury, so mobility is not too important. Judging from the result of the two reactors of the combined ship charging a magnetic gun, this seems to be a bit ahead of the momentum of the battleship.

The magnetic cannons carried by cruisers are the nemesis of all Zerg warships. At least they will not suddenly appear a strong shield like Alliance warships. This leads to the fact that a rapid magnetic cannon will often destroy three or four warships approaching or standing side by side with thunder, and the subsequent plasma cannons will make those warships trying to escape unable to escape.

"They can't hold on for long," said Ianti. "The Zerg Queen must be overwhelmed now. On the one hand, she has to deal with the attacks of wandering races on their multiple planets, and on the other hand, she has to deal with the fleet that hit the doorsteps. Whether it is returning to aid or counterattack, they have no such ability now."

"Report to the sir." The communicator released a holographic image of a captain with the rank of colonel. "The destroyer was severely damaged, the shield generator failed, and now he quit the battlefield."

"You retreat behind the asteroid on the left, and there will be an engineer to help you repair the shield system of the warship." Zheng Qi said, "Other units should be careful not to be fixed in one place. The other party's shells are very weird. We need to keep moving irregularly at all times."

The Zerg have a highly intelligent shell. After they are launched, they can still perform flexible movements according to the operator. In addition, their size is much smaller than that of the warship, so it is difficult for the Alliance's laser weapon root to aim at them. What's even more strange is that Zheng Qi feels that those shells are like smart people and have the ability to think independently.

Zheng Qi watched with his own eyes the two shells attacked the "Endless-Imperial Expedition" combined ship, bypassing all laser interceptions, then passing through a defensive frigate in front, and finally hit the "Imperial Expedition" below the combined ship that attempted to evade.

Ianti felt the vibration coming from below and said, "The 'Imperial Expedition' is now almost everything except the reactor and magnetic cannon."

"It's a pity that if we can grab a shell, our engineers may be able to copy it." Zheng Qi said that if we talk about the ability to copy technology, those little guys are even better than Ianti in some ways.

"Most of the engineers are working, and we don't have that many people right now."

Zheng Qi stood up. Although the "Endless" was also the main ship, he was more accustomed to flagships after all. However, judging from the current situation, the flagship was broken and covered with wounds, and it was probably impossible to repair it. These are all valuable resources, and the technology inside is very exquisite. Even if Ianti wants to manufacture it, it will take a month, not to mention that Ianti doesn't know how to build a cruiser at all.

Although it can be copied, the precision of these things is not like that of human weapons. If she simply copied one, precision problems will arise when using it in the future, and the operation of small parts will completely affect it.

A communication came in and He Ximei appeared in front of Zheng Qi.

"We have destroyed the opponent's ground defense weapons and the warship docking bases marked in the intelligence." He Ximei said, "Their follow-up support has been greatly weakened at present, so you can hurry up and attack them."

"I understand." Zheng Qi said, "You try to get close to the surface and use the maximum firepower to attack their gathering points to see if anyone will return to reinforcements."

"It's moving forward." He Ximei said, her thoughts were the same as Zheng Qi.

Zheng Qi smiled slightly and hung up the communication.

He Ximei led the fleet to break through the orbit of the Zerg's parent star and enter their atmosphere. Then plasma weapons and magnetic cannons directly threaten them to build a gathering point on the surface - underground cities similar to earth slopes, where most of the Zergs are concentrated.

From the beginning of this operation, they directly threatened the queen of the ground command. Under the offensive strategy of Zheng Qi and He Ximei, the queen finally made a mistake in judgment. She asked some fleets to return, trying to eliminate the warships that threatened them at low altitude, thereby reducing the pressure on Zheng Qi and allowing them to reorganize the fleet.

In fact, as long as the Queen continues to support her, Zheng Qi will definitely pay a great price. With Zheng Qi's habit, he will not fight hard. After all, there are too few warships now. But when the Queen's life is threatened, she chooses to return to the rescue like ordinary humans.

By this point, the Queen was defeated.

In the subsequent attack, Zheng Qi directed the fleet to destroy the opponent's space power bit by bit, and then the fleet entered the atmosphere of the parent star, directly threatening the birthplace of the Zerg, and also their most important place. But now, due to the openness of the battlefield and the interference of multiple enemies, their parent star was the first to fall.

"Snap time, let the troops land after we destroy some air defense facilities." Zheng Qi said in the Fleet Channel. "The cruiser retreats to the second position, let the destroyers and frigates attack, and the cruiser provides protective energy shields."

After some attack, the cruiser ranked first had the widest attack surface, and their losses were the greatest, and if they still had high-intensity work, they would inevitably be damaged. Zheng Qi also expected this and asked the fatigued cruiser to retreat, the frigate and destroyer were headed in front, forming a new array again.

As it turned out, his approach was very wise. When attacking the ground, they were attacked by Zerg's low-altitude shells, and some even had shells that were comparable to the explosion of human nuclear weapons. The fleet then used emp to attack, but they were surprised to find that emp had no effect on those shells, and Zerg's resistance was still strong.

Fortunately, the Alliance has many laser weapons that can destroy the shells when they are closer to the battleship. Although the shock wave generated after the explosion can cause the Alliance's warship shield to collapse, there is no loss after all. If the cruiser was still standing in front of it at this time, there would be casualties now.

But the Zerg's struggle was also futile. Now it can be said that the situation is hopeless. Their nearest reinforcements are two light years away from here, but there are attacks by wandering alien races. They cannot retreat - otherwise the alien race will follow and directly threaten their home planet.

"Ianti, we are ready to start ground operations." Zheng Qi said to her, with a strategic map in front of her. "It is expected that the Zerg's ground resistance will be strong. If we land rashly, the casualties will definitely be serious. You must be precise at the position of the queen, and we will not have the chance to take risks."

"Well. Now recalculate." She nodded and reanalysed the information map stolen from the aliens. The information they got from somewhere did not know where they actually got the exact location of the queen. Although these guys were reckless, they were unexpected.

After the Alliance destroyed the ground defense measures, the fleet began to send fighters to conduct precise small-range attacks, and the targets were very concentrated, within a radius of one hundred kilometers of a point. This was designated by Ianti. The Zergs were extremely large and they could not defeat them at all, but if they captured their queen, everything would be different.

The low-altitude combat was temporarily handed over to the fighter plane. After thinking about it, Zheng Qi asked Ianti: "How many nuclear bombs do we have?"

She glanced at him and said, "The fleet carries 150 strategic nuclear bombs and 300 tactical nuclear bombs. They can be launched through missiles."

"One hundred are enough to destroy this planet." Zheng Qi said thoughtfully, "The fleet obeys the orders, and now the surrounding areas are carrying out mine-style tactical nuclear bomb attacks, and strive not to let any Zerg break through our defense."

He needs time now, as long as he can hold up Zergs in other areas, it will be very precious even for a few minutes.

The Zergs live in the ground. On the surface, there are only huge earth slopes, and there are some black holes next to them. This is where his warships or spacecraft take off and land. The world inside is still very mysterious to the current Alliance fleet.

Zheng Qi was waiting, and he thought of the candy Ianti gave him again...

"Ianti, can you tell me the plan?" Zheng Qi asked, "Why do you want to risk attacking the Zerg? Perhaps in addition to their shell technology, there will be something more attractive, otherwise our attack will be a big loss."

He still couldn't imagine that he would attack a planet with twenty-one warships. Although he had used ten warships to attack the earth before, the humans of that era were as weak as ants. Now, the Zergs are aggressive and their weapons are equally advanced. Once a war of attrition occurs, the alliance will eventually have the result of destruction.

Ianti sat opposite him and opened some information.

"See you, these are all the technologies of the unknown high-end civilization. We have cracked a little bit." Ianti pointed to some of the information, and even had some precise legends. "These are methods of manufacturing some weapons. According to the grammar of the Los people, these can be called 'planetary weapons'."

"Planetary Weapon?" Zheng Qi looked at the drawings. This was not the first time he had heard of it, but this was the first time he had seen it.

"I ask you, our weapons are very powerful, but can we solve one planet at once? I mean destroying it."

"Impossible, unless it is an asteroid." Zheng Qi shook his head, "but at most it will only destroy everything on the surface. To destroy a planet, our weapons cannot shake it at all."

"The weapon of this civilization is possible," said Ianti. "Here is a weapon called 'green matter', which appears in a small amount of liquid form in some planetary lands. This material is stable at room temperature, but under the influence of high temperatures and other materials, it can quickly absorb all the energy around it and finally convert it into solidified energy. The energy stored here is extremely terrifying. However, the price is to destroy a planet, including all life."

"You mean, the Zerg parent planet may have such a thing?" Zheng Qi asked in surprise.

Ianti nodded, "It's very likely, but I'm not completely sure at the moment. But even if it doesn't work, what would you choose if this trip could add a huge race, as your assistant and a powerful soldier in the league in the future?"

"You mean..." Zheng Qi stared at her, "Zerg?"

"Yes." said Ianti, "Do you want to be the king of the Zerg?"

"What? The King of Zerg?" Zheng Qi asked, pointing to his head, "Let me be their...brain?"

"No, with the human brain, we cannot control those huge numbers of Zergs, otherwise we will only have brain death due to excessive load. What I am talking about is not controlling all Zergs, but controlling their queen. Once the queen is controlled, Zergs will be yours in the future."

"Is it really possible?" Zheng Qi asked. In the vast universe, they are definitely not the strongest. He cannot guarantee when he will encounter a powerful race, nor can he guarantee that he will be wiped out when he will be wiped out. Moreover, they need to find a direction to go home, and contact with other races is essential. If there is no strong power, the future will be in crisis and slim.

He is the commander, and he has to think of these things.

"It's possible." Ianti nodded, "Although I have a plan, the doctors who performed the surgery are from those little kids." She pointed to the engineers in the monitor, who stayed in a specially made room, absorbing high concentrations of pure oxygen, and drifted around excitedly.

Engineers need pure oxygen at concentrations of up to 60% or more, and they are the most active in this case, but for humans, these pure oxygen are deadly, and the doses of these concentrations are enough to cause an ordinary human to suffer from oxygen poisoning within a few minutes and then die of a coma.

"How to do it?" Zheng Qi was still moved. Perhaps he needed stronger force.

"This involves nanobiotechnology." Ianti said, "Since it is a very important file, just like my copying ability, it is classified as my own system file. You should be glad that it was not deleted at the beginning." She actually boasted first and then talked about the topic.

"We need to make some nanorobots, the same size as your brain cells, the same function, and the ability to self-heal and regenerate. The core of the robot's processing is a protein-based biochip. Like computers, it has the characteristics of multi-tasking and parallel processing, but it is more advanced than your brain cells."

"These new 'brain cells' have a function beyond imagination. They can digitize and reasonably partition the memory of your brain, but their capacity is more than one billion times that of a computer. Moreover, since the circuit is a biological protein, its running speed is far greater than that of a human brain thinking. The brain cells of the Zerg Queen have this speed. She controls more than one billion and tens of billions of units of Zerg rely on these reaction abilities."

Zheng Qi suddenly understood something, but still didn't interrupt.

"So, before the next generation of queen takes shape, we need to extract her brain cells, then perform some special encodings, and input programs and instructions. You finally use these special cells to keep cell division and proliferation in a special cerebral cortex constructed in your brain until you die, but these nanocells can further decipher your human code, and maybe it can greatly extend your human life span! This is really a good thing to kill multiple kills."

This kind of thing sounds like a myth, but the scientific basis listed by Ianti made Zheng Qi unable to argue. Finally, he thought for a while and finally found a sentence that could show off: "But what to do with the energy supply of these cells? Will it be affected by the outside world, such as viruses or something?"

"No, although these are called computers, they are composed of biochemical components of organic molecules. Chemical reactions provide energy for it. The human brain directly controls all its instructions. It will not be disturbed by electrical signals, and will not generate heat. It can also repair and replicate itself."

Zheng Qi accepted these hard-hitting theories and knowledge and finally asked: "Last point, what should I do about communication issues? I don't know how to use alien language."

"They have no language, they are thinking synchronized ** streams, and they get all the information at the first time." Ianti said, "And the Zerg strictly speaking, there is only one person, the queen follows you, and you have the entire Zerg, and the others are the limbs that the queen can abandon at any time. Of course, the number of their limbs is a terrifying number."

"This idea is crazy," said Zheng Qi. "But I have no choice. I have to give it a try, even if it is impossible."

With expectations, Zheng Qi, the fleet was getting closer and closer to the Zerg parent planet, and fighters were flying over their heads. After destroying ground air defense measures and some relatively large firepower fortresses, shuttles began to land on the ground and engage in surface battles.

The surface of the parent star contains toxic gases, the temperature is around 40 degrees Celsius, and it has 1.2 g of gravity. After the Tigers landed, they spent a lot of time to adapt. They marked the location and pointed the direction for drones and fighters in the sky.

The special forces acted as the forefront of the path exploration. They went deep into the ground and began to explore the mysterious world to them step by step in stealth mode, and also faced a group of unknown enemies. Zheng Qi saw everything clearly through the miniature camera on their helmets. He did not go down. As the commander, it was not a good thing to take risks at this time.

"There is a bit humid here, and the temperature is not as high as the surface. Perhaps the Zerg lives underground because they don't like the high temperature." The skinny monkey walked while reporting what he observed. "There are very little metal materials around here. For the civilization that can invent warships, their homeland may be a bit shabby."

They continued to walk inside, strengthening the coordination between naked-eye vision and night vision, and they knew everything around them. But according to this terrain, the Zerg should be very adaptable to the darkness, and they probably won't have much advantage.

Ianti studied the information stolen from the wandering alien race and provided the land combat soldiers with the correct position of the queen. According to the report, the queen has never left here. She is responsible for the reproduction of the race, that is, she has been laying eggs and controlling other female Zergs, allowing them to gather together to produce countless small Zerg warriors.

This is a civilization with only fighting, and all their technological power is used in war. This is a warlike race. It can be seen from the fact that they do not pay attention to the construction of their homes and are filled with warships in other places that this race has a strong sense of combat.

"Report, we are close to the designated area." said Shouhou, who enabled the heat source sensing mode and observed around. "Now we are located 120 meters underground. The temperature here is 28 degrees Celsius, the surrounding ground is wet, and there is a special smell."

The surroundings are very wide and the ground is flat. In the camera, Zheng Qi saw the Zerg for the first time. They have many forms. The first type is reptile, with hands, feet, limbs, but huge body and dark armor on the back. However, their two "hands" are extremely flexible.

The second type is the flying Zerg. They are relatively small in size and have a long tail. They keep flying around the top of the cave, and two green alert eyes are exploring everywhere. Since it is a queen who controls them, a group of Zergs seem orderly and has a clear division of labor, which makes Zheng Qi unable to help but praise him when he sees it. If the Zerg can really work, then it will definitely be seamless in tactical cooperation.
