Chapter 253 The Past of Zerg and Empire
Listening to his men's words at this moment, the commander couldn't believe it.
If he remembered correctly, the Zerg race should have been exterminated by the empire a long time ago.
In fact, this commander still has an impression of the Zerg, because what the Zerg did back then was famous in the universe, and no civilization was spared wherever the Zerg passed.
The way they treat the civilizations they see is to destroy them all. Of course, this alone cannot explain the terror of the Zerg.
You must know that the destruction of civilization is a very normal thing for the entire universe. Even if they encounter other civilizations, they will not hesitate to choose to do it.
But the civilizations they encountered were encountered accidentally, not actively sought out.
Of course, even if you take the initiative to look for them, there is actually no big problem. The main reason why the Zerg are so scary is because of their fecundity.
In addition to their terrifying fecundity, there is also their own evolutionary direction.
Because the evolution routes of these bugs are all in the direction of war, it is even said that in order to improve their combat effectiveness, many bugs can even give up their emotions and thinking during the evolution process.
It is also for this reason that the expansion speed of this race in the universe is very terrifying.
Therefore, in the eyes of other civilizations, they are like an army of locusts, harvesting various civilizations.
It is also for this reason that most civilizations are very worried about their own safety.
Perhaps according to the normal development situation, attributes like the Zerg will inevitably arouse the fear of most civilizations.
Then these civilizations will definitely unite to attack them and wipe them out.
Of course, such a thing can only happen in fairy tales. In this cruel universe, no civilization dares to do this.
Because of the existence of the Dark Forest Law, as long as there is a civilization that does this, today they will jointly destroy the Zerg.
Tomorrow, several civilizations in this alliance may be wiped out by their companions.
In other words, the entire civilization became one of the civilizations enslaved by another civilization the next day.
All in all, no one in this universe trusts anyone. No one dares to put their entire civilization on the gambling table and make a huge bet on the trust of both parties.
There is an old saying that goes well, people who are not of my kind will have different minds.
Even two different intelligent races living on the same planet will fight to the death.
You must know that they still live on the same planet, and the situation will only be worse when different civilizations living on two planets meet.
To put it bluntly, this civilization treats the people of that civilization no differently than it treats cats and dogs.
Because every civilized person is self-centered, they think that they are the core of the entire world.
At this time, a species appears to challenge your authority. The best you can do is to destroy it with them.
As for two united civilizations, if any one of them has such a mentality, it's really hard to say what will happen after they unite.
After all, many things cannot be bound by a contract or an agreement.
In the eyes of most civilizations, the union of two different civilizations is tantamount to putting their own civilization on several losing gambling tables and gambling on other people's credit. Only a fool would do this.
Therefore, if two different civilizations want to unite, there are too many obstacles.
Of course, it is not impossible for such a thing to happen, but most of the combined civilizations end with the destruction of one party.
In fact, the reason for this is also very simple. Maybe our generation has united everyone to get along well with each other.
But times have changed, and the next generation may have different ideas.
Even if the next generation is the same, there will always be a generation that may have different ideas a few generations later.
It only takes one generation to be different, and no matter how many generations of efforts they have made, they will be in vain.
So if two civilizations want to unite, the most reliable solution is for you to colonize the planet for me.
Of course, since it is a union, this word cannot be used. Instead, a slightly more euphemistic word should be used. This word is affiliated civilization.
I also have certain requirements for your affiliated civilization. After all, if we unite, we will become a big family.
You people must also contribute to our big family, so if you want to survive, you need to work non-stop and help us build this big family.
It is very normal for labor to be rewarded, and I will give your civilization full autonomy so that you can continue to manage your own civilization.
But considering safety, I want to collect all your weapons, which means you can't have any weapons.
These are the requirements of the main civilization for the subordinate civilization. In fact, these requirements are just expressed in some euphemistic terms.
To put it in simpler terms, you have been occupied by me, and now you are our slave. If you want to survive, it is very simple. Go to the black coal mine and mine.
Therefore, in the universe, the so-called alliance basically does not exist. It is either occupation or destruction. In most cases, there are only these two options.
It was also for this reason that the original Zerg were able to expand unbridled in this universe.
With their invasion at that time, more and more civilizations were destroyed. If this trend continues, it won't be long before there will be no more civilization in the entire area.
But at this moment, a civilization stood up.
That's the empire!
The super civilization of the Virgo supercluster.
This civilization has extremely powerful strength and an extremely vast territory.
He will send an invitation to any civilization he discovers to join in order to strengthen his own strength.
Of course, there is not much difference between the so-called invitation and invasion and colonization. The civilizations he captured either ended up becoming cannon fodder or were sent to mine in black coal mines.
Of course, this civilization is not so friendly to every civilization. If your civilization is discovered by it, and your civilization has a low level of science and technology, there will be many things that you cannot understand.
The things he is referring to that he cannot understand here are things like controlling spaceships to mine, and so on.
If you can't understand these things, then your civilization will most likely be wiped out by a few cannons.
In the face of such a powerful and domineering civilization, if you ask whether some small civilizations have complaints, the answer is yes, but if there are complaints, what can you do?
All you can do is hide yourself. If you can, hide as far away as possible. This is what you can do.
As for jumping out to resist, I suggest you don't do it.
Because you and he are not of the same magnitude at all. To you, a star system may feel very huge.
But the territory of the empire includes two galaxies, the Small Magellanic Cloud and the Large Magellanic Cloud, which add up to a total of nearly 170,000 light years.
Such a huge and vast river was occupied by this empire.
Therefore, there is no need to explain too much about how powerful this civilization is. Any civilization that attempts to compete with it is tantamount to hitting an egg against a stone.
It was also when the Zerg's destruction was at its most severe that this civilization stood up.
Of course, you must not think that he stood up to protect other civilizations. If you think so, you are simply overthinking.
Under normal circumstances, even if these civilizations were completely wiped out, they would not care.
The main reason why they chose to jump out and attack this group of bugs was because the bugs ran to fight them.
This is also a very embarrassing thing. These bugs are no more leisurely than other civilizations to study the current situation of cosmic civilization.
These bugs only know how to invade, and they continue to strengthen themselves through invasion.
They don't care what kind of enemy they are or how strong they are, because no matter how strong others are, they will only be destroyed when their insect swarm forces press on them.
So these bugs crushed all the way to the Small Magellanic Cloud, because that area was also the territory of the empire, and many affiliated civilizations still lived there comfortably.
And these subsidiary civilizations are naturally delicious food for insects.
Then it’s fun for these bugs, pressing in all the way from the edge to the middle. You’ve already reached their territory. Do you think their empire will leave you alone?
Obviously this was impossible, so the empire immediately sent troops to start a war with the insects. The result was naturally self-evident.
This is the general situation of the conflict between the bugs and the empire.
However, each civilization has a different view on this matter. Some civilizations believe that the conflict between bugs and the empire is deliberately controlled by civilization.
Because in this universe, apart from the powerful empire, there is also a mysterious organization.
This organization is called the Destroyer Organization.
In fact, not many civilizations know about this organization. It happens that the Taylor civilization is one of the civilizations that knows about this organization.
This organization is very powerful, but also very mysterious. According to the information compiled by Taylor Civilization, they have a certain understanding of the general situation of this organization.
First of all, this organization was founded by the survivors of a powerful civilization that was destroyed by the empire.
The ultimate goal of this organization is to find a way to destroy the empire, and most of the members of the organization have a grudge against the empire. Therefore, they have reached a consensus on this aspect, but this organization is not a group of people who gather together and prepare for rebellion every day as ordinary people think.
This is not the case at all in this organization. The operating system of this organization is based on consensus of ideas.
Everyone in the organization has the same goal, so everyone can cooperate and win-win for this goal.
It is said that this organization has a mysterious technology tree, which reserves the technology of each member.
As long as members of the organization can browse this technology tree, of course, this is definitely not for you to view unconditionally.
If you want to obtain information in the technology tree, you need to make a relatively large contribution.
For example, if you submit a very high technology, or you wipe out a certain area of the empire, you can obtain access qualifications in this way.
All the members of this organization do not know each other, and they even say that if they meet one day in the future, they will definitely not say hello and catch up on old times, but they will definitely find a way to eliminate each other.
To put it simply, this is a powerful organization where their real cooperation is just a consensus on ideas.
They only cooperate in this aspect, and there is no cooperation in other aspects.
So even though they both belong to the Destroyer organization, once they meet, a war will break out immediately.
Of course, although such a combination cannot improve their overall strength, it is undeniable that through the sharing of technology, the technological level of all civilizations in the entire organization is very high.
And these civilizations would attack the empire from time to time.
This behavior also annoyed the empire to a certain extent. Although the empire tried to annihilate them many times, it failed in the end.
When the Zerg attacked the Empire, they were not just attacking from one race. When the Zerg attacked, this organization unexpectedly assembled a fleet and launched a general attack on the Empire.
Yes, that time they assembled warships to launch a general attack, instead of fighting individually as before. It was also because their warships were gathered together, so that battle also caused heavy losses to the empire.
The empire suffered heavy losses, part of which was due to the Zerg. Because this group of bugs was extremely large in number and had amazing combat power, the empire had to send some of its elites to exterminate them.
While the empire's attention was still on these bugs, the Destroyer organization over there also immediately launched an attack. The attack from both sides really made the empire feel a little uncomfortable.
It is also for this reason that many civilizations have some speculations about this.
They suspected that the bug had most likely joined this organization, and its behavior was arranged within the organization.
After all, the time between the two sides in this battle was so accurate. If you want to say that the two sides have not colluded and discussed, then it is absolutely impossible.
But here will involve a question, their collusion is that they joined the organization and were arranged by the organization, or is the Zerg just led and attacked by them using some unknown means.
This is unknown, and the reason why the commanders of the Taylor civilization knew these tidbits was because there were many observers in their civilization.
These observers like to capture some signals in the universe all day long. These signals are the last words of some destroyed civilizations that they inadvertently captured emitted to the universe before their death.
Because before many civilizations collapsed, they might write about their experiences and then discover the universe. The purpose of doing so was to allow their civilizations to leave a trace of proof of their existence in the universe.
It is said that when a person is about to die, his words are good. When these civilizations are destroyed, the secrets they master are no longer important to them.
Because these secrets are of no value to them now, they usually send these secrets to the universe at that time.
Some civilizations whose technological level reaches a certain level will inadvertently capture this information.
Of course, these civilizations do not just have nothing to do all day long to capture this information. The original intention of these civilizations to capture information is to see if they can find traces of some naive civilizations that have just set foot in the universe.
After all, these novels that have just set foot in the universe are like children, eager to show adults what they have learned.
Usually at this time, these children will send a broadcast to the whole universe as if they are taking credit, telling the whole universe that they have grown up and now they can set foot in the universe.
Many advanced civilizations will catch this type of signal, because for them it is best to eliminate these potential opponents in advance.
And that information is just a side product when they collect such signals.
At this time, the commander of Taylor Civilization could not help but frown when he saw the scenes coming from the frontline battlefield.
Because they had received two more important signals, that is, the empire had sent two broadcasts to the entire universe.
The first broadcast was that they were going to find the Zerg at all costs and were bound to exterminate them.
The second signal is that the Zerg race has been exterminated.
Since the empire said that this race was exterminated by them, it must have been exterminated. After all, with the strength of the empire, he didn't even bother to lie.
But the current situation is that this group of bugs actually appeared here, so the commander of Taylor Civilization speculated that this should be hatched from a surviving bug nest.
And their number should not be too large now, otherwise they would have been noticed by the empire.
But even if the number of this insect swarm is not too large, the commander of Taylor Civilization knows very well that he must treat it with caution, because this race is too terrifying.
Although it was their first time fighting against this race, and the number of this batch of bugs was actually not large, only tens of thousands, he knew it very well.
Once this race is given time, their numbers will soar exponentially.
So he immediately reported the situation here to his home planet.
But what he didn't know at this time was that this was actually their second time fighting against players.
When we played against each other for the first time, it was because the players kept their confidentiality measures so good.
The troops on their side were wiped out by the players before they even had time to send out the news.
Of course, the message he sent naturally attracted great attention from the headquarters.
After all, this is not a race of cats and dogs. You must know that this is the once famous Zerg race.
If they don't treat it carefully, there is a high probability that they will be wiped out by this race. After thinking of this, the headquarters immediately issued an order.
He must find out the situation of this group of bugs at all costs, and no matter what he does, he must hold them back and buy enough time for the fleet they will send later.
At this time, they knew very well that they had to keep this group of bugs in this galaxy, because as long as the bugs left here, it would be more difficult for them to find this group of bugs.
Once these bugs are out of their control, they will most likely come over with dozens or millions of bug swarms the next time they meet.
At this time, apart from sending troops over, the Taylor civilization was also frantically sorting out information related to the Zerg.
I want to learn as much as possible about this race through these, so as to find the corresponding elimination strategy.
Of course, for them, eradicating this race is just one of the things they have to do now. There is another more important thing, which is to collect enough Zerg samples for research.
You must know that although this Zerg is powerful, it is undeniable that they are full of treasures.
As long as they study the secret of their evolution and use this thing in their own civilization, their strength will soar by several levels.
All in all, they are now also greedy for the body of the Zerg clan.
Of course, it's not just them. All civilizations in the entire universe who know about the Zerg are actually greedy for them. It's just that most civilizations don't have the strength to defeat the Zerg, so they can only think about it.
Although the Taylor civilization does not have the strength to defeat the Zerg army, what they are facing now is not the Zerg army. What they are facing now is just a small wave of Zerg.
So for Taylor civilization, although this group of bugs now poses a very big hidden danger, it is also an opportunity, an opportunity to collect Zerg samples.
If they seize this opportunity well, they will most likely be promoted to the ranks of super civilization in the future.
But now it is very difficult for Taylor civilization to deal with all these bugs.
You must know that they are not fighting unilaterally now, they are still fighting the Yongye Civilization on their border.
At this time, while the Taylor civilization was still thinking about how to balance the battle between the two sides, the players' second batch of attacking teams was almost reaching their destination.
"Commander, I'm sorry. Abnormal space fluctuations occurred not far from our space station. According to speculation, there is a high probability that bugs jumped directly to us."
"What!" The commander who had just reported the information was also shocked when he heard the news.
Not daring to delay, he immediately asked: "What's going on? How did they jump over? Where is the jump monopoly generator we deployed?"
"Destroyed," the man replied.
"Destroyed? What do you mean?" The commander frowned slightly.
Because they have deployed jump monopoly generators in every stronghold. If they want to jump to space here, they must destroy all these jump monopoly generators.
However, their stronghold defense facilities are relatively complete, and it is definitely impossible to destroy them in a short time.
But here's the problem, how long has it been since he went to report intelligence to the headquarters? A few minutes at most.
In just a few minutes, his subordinates came over and told him that all their jump monopoly generators had been destroyed, and that these bugs had already entered. This was outrageous.
