Chapter 357 Three pillars
At this time, the players on Jiang Yao's side were also thinking about the next countermeasures, taking into account the enemies they would face next. Of course, for this mission, Jiang Yao still handed it over to No. 1.
Number 1, who took over the task, also sorted out all the information collected by the players recently and began to think about the next plan.
"I didn't expect that the first round of confrontation with the Empire would be so soon. But according to the leader, although the Empire is the enemy of the Zerg, it also possesses a large amount of information, and this information will be useful for our future research. It’s a big help, so I have to take it down.”
Speaking of this, No. 1 couldn't help but fell into deep thought, "The leader has probably introduced the situation of the empire. It stands to reason that such a huge country has so many different civilizations, and their mutual integration and cooperation will make its technological level leap forward."
"According to this logical inference, this empire should not be as simple as it seems on the surface, or what the empire is showing now is extremely unreasonable."
In fact, as his understanding of the empire deepened in No. 1's mind, he gradually discovered some clues.
If we look at it according to normal development logic, the technological level of a civilization like the Empire should not be so low.
Yes, No. 1 feels that the empire's technological level is really low, which is a bit outrageous.
Such a huge civilization has experienced so many years of baptism. After that, its technological level should have reached an unprecedented height. However, in fact, everything the empire showed did not meet expectations.
"What is going on? Is the empire deliberately hiding it from the outside world, or is there another reason why their technology has been stuck at this stage."
No. 1, who had been thinking about it for a long time, could not come up with the answer, but he had a vague feeling in his heart that the answer to this matter must be very important, and even said to be inextricably related to their future development.
But now he did not have the ability to understand the mystery, so he could only give up thinking about this problem, and then started to study another problem.
That’s what the current situation is all about.
"According to the information provided by the bugs, when they discovered the starry sky beast, they also discovered other bugs and empire probes."
"And these two things are obviously tracking the starry sky beast. From this, it is not difficult to see that this starry sky beast is being targeted by both the Insect Hive and the Empire."
"And this starry sky beast was obviously seriously injured. This means that the most important role of those detectors is to track its location."
"The Zerg and the Empire have always been at odds. The fact that the detectors of the two races can track a target at the same time can only mean one problem. At that time, the main fleet of the Zerg and the Empire should be fighting."
"It is not difficult to infer from the scars on the starry sky beast that this starry sky beast was most likely discovered by the empire first.
Then they launched an attack on the starry sky behemoth, and when they thought they were going to kill the starry sky behemoth, the Zerg ambush appeared. ”
At this point, No. 1 has probably guessed the whole story. Of course, he also knows that his guess is just a guess.
Maybe the development of the entire incident will deviate greatly from his guess.
But what he can be sure of is that it must be the empire that launches the first round of attacks on the starry sky beast, and allowing the starry sky beast to escape can only be caused by two civilizations starting a war and having no time to take care of it.
So now he is more concerned about the outcome of this war.
And he is also very concerned about the scale of the swarm and the empire.
Although he does not have an answer to this question now, but from the information he knows, he clearly knows that the insect swarm appeared as the attacker in this battle.
Although this piece of information seems to be of little use, No. 1 understands that this piece of information is not as useless as it seems on the surface.
You must know that the investigation of interstellar war intelligence is very important now, especially for advanced civilizations, who know the importance of intelligence work better.
According to Jiang Yao's introduction, that wave of insect swarms was much weaker than the insect swarm on their side, because the insect swarm on their side had the ability to evolve, while the insect swarm on that side was just basic bugs.
Number One is also very familiar with the situation of basic bugs, and he also discovered that there is a special ethos in his insect swarm. This ethos is that few bugs in his insect swarm can understand basic bugs.
Because in their eyes, the basic bugs are too weak.
But combined with Jiang Yao's comments on the empire, it is easy to find the problem.
You must know that Jiang Yao has a very high opinion of the Empire. He clearly told him that the Empire is a very powerful civilization and it is very difficult to defeat it.
Of course, this also shows that the technological level of the empire is very high, and the problem lies here. Compared with the empire's insect swarm, it is obviously at a disadvantage, whether it is its detection technology or attack technology.
So how did another wave of insect swarms discover the Empire first and prepare for this battle without the Empire discovering them at an absolute disadvantage?
Based on this information, he also knew that the empire really did not discover the insect swarm this time and was not pretending, because he believed that once the empire discovered the insect swarm, it would be absolutely impossible for them to take the lead in attacking the starry sky giant.
Because this creature is too powerful, they are bound to suffer heavy losses during the battle with the starry sky beast.
If they knew that there was a swarm of insects nearby, they would not dare to do this. So since they did it, it means that they did not find that wave of insects from beginning to end.
This is outrageous. You must know that there is a huge gap between your technological level and that of your enemy. It is difficult for you to find your enemy, but it is extremely easy for your enemy to find you.
Under such circumstances, you can actually hide yourself under the eyes of the enemy. This is enough to illustrate a problem.
There were masters in that swarm, and of course he probably knew who that master was, the brainworm named Kassadin.
The brainworm named Kassadin used some special method to deceive the empire and achieve his strategic goal.
But no matter what method he used, No. 1 knew that this brainworm was not simple based on this alone.
In addition, he knew very well from some of the information Jiang Yao had provided him that Kassadin had a lot of hatred for them.
So according to No. 1's speculation, there is a high probability that Kassadin's next target will be his side.
Because according to his current knowledge of the insect swarm, he can conclude that Kassadin will most likely think that fighting his side and destroying it will be a higher strategic priority than the empire.
As for the reason why he is so sure, after all, Jiang Yao also clearly told him that only the bugs on his side of evolution have this ability, but the bugs on the opposite side do not.
Since there is no such thing, his first thought must be to seize this technology.
Thinking of this, No. 1's thoughts gradually became clear.
"If they want to seize this thing, if they have absolute strength, then they can choose to fight us head-on."
"But it is a pity that the leader said that they are still in the recovery period. Although it is not clear to what extent they have recovered, their winning rate will not be too high if they fight with their side."
"If that's the case, then from my perspective, if I were Kassadin, I would definitely choose to borrow a knife to kill someone." "And the target of this borrowed knife must be the empire, because when the empire discovered that there was a swarm of insects here, , they will definitely send a large number of warships,
At this time, Kassadin only needs to lure these battleships to his side, and then he can complete his plan of killing people with a borrowed knife. ”
Thinking of this, No. 1 also started to prepare his own arrangements.
"Although the other party is aware of our existence now, it will take time for them to find us."
"And before he finds us, he will not be able to obtain our latest intelligence, which means he does not know about the strategic weapons in our hands."
"If this is the case, some strategic weapons like the New Ring can be properly hidden and take away a large number of insect swarms, and then leave a small number of insect swarms to attract its attention."
"In this case, even if he is found, even if he is killed with a borrowed knife, the loss here will not be too great, and the most important thing is that now, there are other people in the entire area who are secretly involved."
“So just in case, it’s better to keep as many trump cards as possible.”
Speaking of this, No. 1 immediately started discussing with Jiang Yao.
In fact, his plan coincides with the players' initial plan, but compared to our family who just happened to think of this, he formulated this plan more out of rational thinking.
And hiding the star ring is only one step in his plan, there are more things that need to be arranged.
This time, he planned to build some Zerg forts or buildings inside the home planet of the Garmiki civilization to disguise the area as a gathering place for the Zerg. As for the Zerg, he planned to leave only about 50,000 of them.
Because Kassadin had fought against them before and had some understanding of their general situation, it would easily arouse his suspicion if there were fewer bugs left.
The reason why we chose this galaxy is also very simple. After all, the Zerg gathering place must be surrounded by resources. If there are no gross resources in the surrounding area, it is obvious that there must be something fishy in it if you still go to build a gathering place.
After arranging all this, Jiang Yao drove the star ring and left with a large number of insects.
During this time, the bugs in the gathering place are responsible for attracting Kassadin's attention, and naturally they have more important things to do, and this thing will determine the success or failure of this battle.
At the same time, the risks associated with this matter are also very high.
Because they are going to find and destroy the Stargate.
Judging from the current situation, as long as the Star Gate is still there, even if the empire loses in the battle, they will be able to receive a steady stream of battleship reinforcements.
Through understanding, No. 1 also knows how important the Star Gate is to the empire. Without this thing, it will take a long time for them to get here.
In his thinking, first of all, he thought that now he had been exposed to the empire.
If the formation sent by the empire this time did not eliminate them, more formations would surely come soon.
This is a very troublesome thing. They can block one wave, but can they block ten waves or a hundred waves?
Obviously the answer is no.
So No. 1 knows very well that now is not the time for them to have a direct confrontation with the empire, so in order to avoid this happening, the only way is to cut off their way before the imperial fleet completes its mission. .
After destroying the star gate leading to this area, it will take a lot of time for them to come over, and they have enough time to prepare or escape.
And it is not difficult to find the location of the Star Gate. No. 1 knows very well that their fleet should have arrived here not long ago.
Therefore, the interstellar navigation tracks left behind have not completely disappeared. As long as they follow the clues, they can easily dig out the star gate.
Of course, they also know very well about buildings like this, and the defensive power there is very strong.
After all, the Zerg had also attacked the Star Gate in the past, so Jiang Yao still had a certain understanding of the general defense on the Star Gate.
And this is also the reason why Jiang Yao drove all the stars.
Jiang Yao still agrees with No. 1's plan.
However, No. 1 at this time did not know that his so-called seamless plan had a fatal flaw.
And this loophole is very likely to cause a devastating blow to them.
Of course, no matter Jiang Yao or No. 1, this matter is inevitable.
To be precise, after they formulated this plan, this loophole was inevitable.
Because they don't know the specific situation within the empire, they don't know that the current imperial fleet is actually a rebel among civilization.
After seeing the imperial fleet, both Jiang Yao and No. 1 immediately thought that their whereabouts had been exposed in front of the empire.
After taking this factor into consideration, I started to prepare for this star gate destruction plan.
Because he believed that based on the relationship between the Zerg and the Empire, the Empire would take immediate action when they discovered them.
It cannot be ruled out that the fleet on the empire side has already made arrangements and is waiting for news from here.
The news they were waiting for was naturally the specific location of the insect swarm, because they most likely considered that if the insect swarm invaded the territory before finding the specific location of the insect swarm, the insect swarm would notice it in advance and run away.
Therefore, in order to ensure that the insect swarm is 100% eliminated, they will first find the location of the insect swarm and then come over.
In fact, in No. 1's eyes, he seriously doubted that this was probably the case at this time.
And he believed that his initial guess was wrong, because he initially thought that the empire would only send troops if the fleet of the empire did not destroy them.
But now it seems that he feels that this possibility is very low. At that time, he thought it was like this. The main reason was because he took into account the arrogance of high-level civilizations towards low-level civilizations.
Although the Zerg are powerful, they are still too weak for the Empire, so there is a high probability that they will not be able to fight with them with all their strength from the beginning.
This is like fighting a landlord. Will you throw out two kings and four twos from the beginning? Obviously not.
