I Am the Swarm

According to the memory data of Hummings, the star gate had already been developed during the period of the original Ji clan. However, because the original Ji clan restricted the development of foreign races at that time, and they themselves were not willing to expand, so although the technology of Stargate was developed, it was only at a very early stage.

But in the period of the New Ji Clan, some foreigners became the new Ji Clan, but their origins prevented them from restricting the development of the outsiders like the Ji Clan.

The foreign races, who had been restricted for hundreds of thousands of years, began to expand wildly. Coupled with the addition of new races, the territory of the Star Sea Alliance was also rapidly expanding.

Under such circumstances, although the technology of the warp speed engine is still improving, it can no longer meet the needs of the alliance members. As a result, the stargate technology was found out, and after a long period of time to understand the technology, the wave of stargate construction began.

The resources needed to build a star gate are extremely huge, especially in the early days, when the star gate technology is not very mature, it consumes even more resources.

According to records, in the early days, stargates of the same level were more than twice as bulky as today, like the mass of a large stargate, or even the sum of the masses of several planets. Coupled with the supporting starport and Dyson sphere, the star system where the stargate is usually located is much empty.

Fortunately, there are too many star systems in the universe, enough to support the Star Sea Alliance. And at that time, in order to speed up the expansion, everyone was willing to contribute resources. Under this trend, while a large number of stargates were built, related technologies were also advancing by leaps and bounds.

The various facilities in the star gate are continuously simplified, making its size gradually shrink, but no matter how small the star gate is, there is a limit. Today, building a stargate is still an expensive project, requiring the harvesting of large quantities of various metals.

And now that the expansion of foreigners has slowed down, most civilizations have entered the conservative stage. Therefore, the procedure for building a star gate has become cumbersome, and it usually requires multiple deliberations, especially the consent of the civilizations around the site where the star gate is built. Because there is a high probability that these metals need to be excavated from their sites.

According to the memory of Hummings himself, when the war against the insects began, some foreign races proposed to build a star gate on the front line, so that the civilized army that was too far away could be quickly deployed.

However, the situation at that time was not as corrupt as it is now. Several civilizations bordering the Zerg wanted the Ji to build stargates on their territory.

But these civilizations are the weakest new civilizations, the number of sites is too small, and the cost of providing a star gate is too laborious, which may compress their living space and reduce their quality of life.

Some organizations have used this to protest, obstruct the adoption of the deliberations, and ask other members to provide assistance. But it has nothing to do with it, and even the members of the Keya Alliance and the Locke Mutual Aid Society, which are closest to the Zerg, are not interested in this proposal, let alone the civilizations that are farther away.

After this proposal was passed with great pains, several civilizations bordering the Zerg had already fallen one after another, and the target site where the Stargate was scheduled to be built had already fallen into the hands of the Zerg.

There is no way, the proposal can only be reconsidered. At this time, some civilizations in the Locke Mutual Aid Association and the Keya Alliance are also anxious, but there are still members who believe that the Zerg cannot invade their territory and ask for a reduction in their investment ratio.

In this way, when the proposal went through all kinds of difficulties again, the Zerg army was already in sight, and the performance of the Zerg surprised and surprised all the foreigners.

Although the Ji clan's technology for building star gates is quite mature, it is a huge project after all, and it cannot be completed in a few decades.

And for decades, no one can guarantee that the construction site will not fall into the hands of the Zerg. As a result, history repeated itself again, and it seemed that there were several black hands behind the scenes who were happy to see this and actively delayed the time.

Fortunately, the third Star Sea Alliance learned a lesson and chose a site nearly a hundred light-years away from the Zerg battlefield, leaving sufficient strategic buffer space for the construction of the star gate.

Although the distance is too far, it will take about 20 years for the troops arriving through the stargate to be deployed on the battlefield, but the victory lies in safety. Now the main structure of the stargate has been completed, and the supporting Dyson ball has also completed 50% of the progress. Can meet the requirements to open the star gate. And the supporting starport has not yet started construction because the priority is too low, and the function of the starport is replaced by a nearby planet.

According to the current progress, it will not be long before it can be put into use. At that time, this star gate will continuously send troops from far away, and even the inner circle civilization that is too far away from the Zerg will soon join the battle. But these are things for later.

Strictly speaking, this is not the first time Rowan has traveled through a wormhole through a star gate. When he was developing the jumping skill, there was an accident in the dimension traversal, and the energy was insufficient due to miscalculation of the loss.

But that experiment was also quite lucky, and accidentally fell into a small wormhole at a critical moment. And thus found the Potter star.

But this time, because of the size of the star gate, the size of the wormhole opened is not the same as that of the small wormhole. This large wormhole gave Rowan a different experience.

The attributes of time and space are thicker, and the surrounding ships are stretched into endless strips, being sucked into the deep mirror. When the node unit is sucked in, everything around it becomes blurred and seems to be wrapped in light of a pure color.

I don't know how long it took, maybe it was just a trance, and the surroundings became clear again, and they had reached the other end of the wormhole.

If it wasn't for the huge discomfort that filled the whole body, one would have thought that everything just now was just a dream. However, Rowan is a higher-latitude creature after all, and he still felt something through this experience.

The Ji Clan's star gate uses huge energy to create a huge gravitational point, and then breaks the shackles of space by connecting to the beacon on the other side.

Although it looks very cool, and the effect is similar to Rowan's warp, but in essence the two are completely different things. The wormhole of the Ji family is still a product inside the universe in essence, it still operates under the rules of the universe, it does not escape, and it does not involve dimensions outside the universe.

But Rowan's leap is different. He is equivalent to opening a hole in this universe, and then using his body to build a bridge between the two places.

Because there is no concept of distance outside the dimension, as long as there is a beacon in this universe, Rowan can use precision warp. Of course, without the guidance of beacons, Rowan can also open a hole in this universe to make random jumps.
