I Am the Swarm

"Maybe it was our initial colonial behavior that was too aggressive?"

"But before the expedition, with the cat's ear plan, a single scientific research ship can't show any offensiveness."

"That's right, if the other party is willing to communicate with us, after capturing the cat-ear spacecraft, a diplomatic message should be sent."

"I have a new idea."

"what idea?"

"That's the technological level of the cat-eared spaceship, which made the opponent misjudge the technological level of our Riken tribe!" A senior staff officer of Riken went on to say: "They may think that we are just a newcomer who has just stepped into space. In fact, without the help of ancient spaceships, we would indeed be as they guessed."

All Rickon was lost in thought.

Whether it is the supporters of the first statement or the second statement, they all have a common understanding, that is, Zerg technology has not crushed Riken technology.

The resources consumed by two civilizations with similar levels of technology, such as the current war, are astonishing. Just like the previous Lazer Star line of defense.

The Rickens stationed three major fleets there, and also dispatched a large number of engineering maintenance personnel and security personnel on the planet. The daily consumption of these Rikens is an astronomical figure.

In the vicinity of Star Lazer, the Ricken tribe didn't have colonies or large space capsules, so all food and clothing had to be transported from the rear.

This kind of consumption is extremely astonishing, it is the power of the whole family, and it consumes the foundation of civilization. The Zerg's supply line is longer. Although the Ricken don't know what the Zerg is consuming, it should consume more.

In this case, the continuous fierce battle will not benefit both sides. For civilizations that have stepped out of their own home planets and are able to use resources from other planets, resources and the like are no longer important.

Various metals and raw materials that are scarce on the mother star can not be said to be everywhere in the universe, but they are not difficult to find. The resources in the Riken galaxy alone, such as the top ten planets, asteroid belts, stellar energy, etc., are enough to allow the Riken race to develop for thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years.

This is true for the Rickens, so it should be similar for the Zerg.

Since resources are not the most important thing, there must be a reason for the two sides to fight this battle. To this extent, it must not be because of women or the like. Besides, the racial aesthetics of the two sides should also be different.

So, in this case, what is the most important thing?

science and technology! Or knowledge!

Many Rikens thought of this one after another, terrified. Could it be that the Zerg discovered the secret of the ancient spaceship?

They didn't believe it, because even among the senior generals present in the conference room, only 30% knew the details of the ancient spaceship. The rest probably know that there is such a thing, but they don't know the specifics.

In this case, how will the secret be revealed?

Of course, now this is just a false proposition, a guess.

However, the Rickens looked around themselves and found nothing that could be coveted by the Zerg. Judging from the current technological level of the Zerg, it is even slightly higher than that of the Riken.

Looking back at what the senior staff officer said just now, perhaps the crux of the problem lies here.

According to the technological level of the cat-ear spaceship, the Riken tribe should be just a small character that can be cleaned up at any time in the eyes of the Zerg. But the Liken tribe is so immortal that they took the initiative to drive the fleet to provoke them. It was nothing at all, but the Liken tribe behaved too strangely.

A few decades ago, it was just a light sail engine, and a few decades later, it was already a giant ship cannon, and the thrust of the interstellar engine could reach one-fifth of the speed of light.

If you insist that this kind of leap in the technology tree is based on your own research, even the Rickens think this statement is quite fantasy, let alone the Zerg.

A small character has grown so much suddenly, it is obvious that there is either someone behind him, or he has dug a big mine.

This also explains some incomprehensible Zerg tactical actions before, such as not being active in chasing remnants, and sometimes it feels like deliberately releasing water.

Looking at it now, these operations should be caused by the insect swarm, and they can't determine what the situation of the Riken tribe is. They are worried that there are people behind them, and they didn't do things too extreme.

Judging from the previous actions, the Zerg definitely has a highly intelligent command unit, so it is no surprise to think of these. Even the opponent's attack on Lazer Star is a test.

If there were really someone behind the Riken tribe at that time, and some super-level rescuers were moved out, maybe the Zerg's hidden arrangement on Lazer might never have been activated.

After many trials, it is estimated that the Zerg also discovered some falsehoods of the Riken, and then attacked again, and the degree of water release was also reduced a lot.

For example, this time they directly destroyed 20% of the battleships of the Riken tribe. If the Riken tribe doesn't show anything, maybe the next time it will be a general attack.

Where is the backing behind the Rickens?

This made some Liken complain about why he had to go to the T85 galaxy out of curiosity, but it was too late to say anything at this time, and this was a deadlock. If the corresponding level of technology is not shown, the Rickon is a small player in the eyes of the Zerg, and it may soon be overwhelmed by an army. It is impossible for the Rikens to hide their clumsiness at the risk of extermination, and they will still be exposed when the time comes.

This situation is a bit troublesome now, and the Rikens in the conference room have all realized this one after another.

Because if the Zerg really attacked the Riken because of the "treasure", then the conflict between the two sides would be almost impossible to reconcile. The Zerg didn't know what the Riken tribe had obtained, nor how rich the "treasure" was, and couldn't know where the Riken tribe's limit was.

In just a few decades, the level of science and technology has taken several steps. What if it takes another few decades? What about hundreds of years?

By then, will the Rickon's technological level overtake the Zerg's? Judging from some targeted weapons in this war, this possibility is very high.

Rickens wanted to slap themselves a little bit, showing off if they have nothing to do, wouldn't it be good to show weakness directly? What new weapon to show?

Isn't this stimulating the Zerg?

In this case, will the Zerg give the Riken time to continue to develop?

Put yourself in the shoes and think about it, what would happen if they were Zerg?

The answers are almost the same. In order to ensure the continuation of the ethnic group, the threat must be eliminated first, especially the threat of the Riken race that relies on external help and has a very rapid technological transition.

This made the heads of Rickens a little big.

Now that it is like this, it is estimated that only by donating the "treasure" of the ancient spaceship can the war be eliminated. But wouldn't this put the fate of the race in the hands of others, and from then on they could only be slaughtered by others.

No matter what other Rickens think, anyway, Antonio definitely disagrees with this approach. If he really did it, he will probably be written into Rickon's history and reviled to the point of genocide.

Then the rest of the way, can only be tenacious resistance.
