Civilized Zerg Lord

Chapter 111 The terrifying speed of insect swarm explosion
The wooden commander of Mozi Civilization nodded and said:

"Indeed, looking at the lake surface has returned to calm, it should be that tidal civilization has taken over."

"I heard from other people that the ability of tidal civilization is almost invincible as long as it has an advantage in the waters."

The golden birdman obviously thought so, so he said:
"It seems that we can reduce the number of troops stationed in the Zerg territory and finally leave this ghost place."

The wooden commander of the Mozi civilization nodded and said:
"That's true. Seeing that the lake has returned to calm, it should be that tidal civilization has gained the upper hand."

"I have heard from others that tidal civilization is almost invincible as long as it has an advantage in the waters."

The golden birdman also agreed and said:
"Buzhou Mountain is about to become active. It's almost time for us to go back. Maybe the next time we meet will be on the battlefield."

Subsequently, the human army, the machine beast army, the golden birdman army and several other military forces stationed here began to mobilize their troops in the direction of Buzhou Mountain.

The checkpoints that were originally densely populated around the Zerg territory began to have fewer manpower on duty, and the troops stationed in the fortress were also gradually withdrawn.

The defense line seemed slightly empty, and there were only a few people left in the once bustling camp.

No one was paying attention to the observation deck on the legion. Looking around, the densely packed combat units on the defense line gradually disappeared.

This place is in a state of depression, but it also indicates that their long defense is coming to an end.

Looking at the bustling army disappearing into the horizon, the remaining defenders couldn't help but show their long-lost smiles.

They were finally able to leave here, but fighting against the Zerg was too tiring. The endless swarm of Zerg almost drove them to exhaustion.

As the news spread that the Zerg were suppressed by the tidal civilization, all forces began to prepare for action and rushed to the vicinity of Buzhou Mountain to compete for opportunities.

Former allies have now become competitors.

The human army, the machine beast army, the golden birdman army, and even the army of lords who did not participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Zerg are all stepping up their march, for fear that they will be a step late and lose the opportunity.

All the mountain roads were crowded with troops of all colors, and all the birds and animals avoided the galloping force of thousands of horses.

The lords of all parties were forbearing, secretly competing for strength, speculating on their opponents' trump cards, all trying to take advantage of the opportunity when it came.

On the surface, they still maintain an alliance, but privately they have long regarded the other party as a serious problem.

This time, Buzhoushan's chance is destined to cause a bloody storm.

The lords urged their troops to march day and night, fearing that they would fall behind.

However, everyone knows that the cooperative relationship is in name only. Once the time comes, the former allies will come rolling in and face each other with weapons.

Until then, only strength is the magic weapon for survival.

By then, this land is destined to become a place of fighting again.

Without any resistance, the Zerg territory began full-scale production of duckweed.

The Zerg territory covers an area of ​​500 square kilometers, equivalent to [-] million acres.

Maintain sustainable production of duckweed without over-extracting various elements from the water.

Calculated based on the minimum daily yield of two hundred kilograms of high-protein duckweed per acre of land, the daily duckweed output of the entire Zerg territory is at least 80 billion kilograms.

The protein contained in these 80 billion pounds of Zerg duckweed is as high as 50.00%.

Calculated based on the fact that 30.00% of protein can be converted into every kilogram of duckweed, which is equivalent to approximately 24 billion kilograms of protein.

The daily protein intake required by an average adult is about 15.00%, calculated based on [-] grams of protein per person per day.

The protein contained in these 80 billion pounds of duckweed can meet the daily protein needs of about 160 million people.

Consider that duckweed also contains other nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, etc.

If duckweed is used to supply all dietary caloric requirements.

Calculating that each person needs 80 calories per day, these 800 billion kilograms of duckweed can meet the entire nutritional needs of about [-] million people for a day.

It can be seen from this that the large amount of duckweed produced in the Zerg territory is a very precious food source for the Zerg.

Such a huge duckweed production is both a blessing and an annoyance to the Zerg, but it is a happy annoyance.

It can help the Zerg breed quickly and become more numerous than before.

However, the insect swarm was completely unable to utilize the huge amount of food.

Although the amount of food eaten by soldier bugs is much larger than that of humans, these outputs are enough for the bugs to maintain a colony size of about 400 million.

The current size of the insect swarm is due to months of fighting against tidal civilization, although millions of insect swarms have indeed been produced.

However, the number of surviving insect swarm soldiers is only 30. Adding workers such as digging insects, the total number is less than 60, which is still far from 500 million.

Of course, the key to the Zerg's rapid growth in strength lies in its efficient social structure.

The most important among the insect swarm are the workers responsible for the computing center. The number of these workers is at least one hundred thousand.

Their high-speed brains can not only centrally control the actions of the entire insect swarm, but also flexibly allocate various resources.

In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of worker insects responsible for food production and breeding, which can efficiently reclaim the surrounding land and continuously supply duckweed and other food to the entire insect colony.

In contrast, the ratio of Zerg soldiers to insects cannot be too high.

Due to the large size of soldier insects, each soldier insect's food intake is dozens of times that of ordinary worker insects.

In order to maintain a huge army of soldiers, the Zerg need to invest a lot of resources in raising and supplying them.

Based on current estimates of food output in the Zerg territory, the number of soldier bugs that can be sustained is approximately 150 million.

If you want to grow the army of soldiers and insects to the level of 200 million, it will inevitably reduce the number of workers and other non-combat members, reducing the operating efficiency of the insect swarm.

Therefore, the maximum strength of the Zerg at this stage should be controlled at around 150 million.

At the same time, a certain amount of resource reserves need to be reserved to cope with energy needs in emergencies such as war.

This requires the swarm cerebrates to make precise resource allocation plans to ensure that the number of worker worms will not be reduced too much, thus affecting the development potential of the entire zerg race.

The Zerg now has seven mature female worms, and the number of eggs they lay every day has reached [-].

More than 2000 of the output needs to be used by the insect swarm to evolve new units, and the remaining [-] are divided between the worker insects and soldier insects.

Currently, production is based on a one-to-one ratio, so 30 soldier bugs can be born every day. It would take more than a year to expand the population of 150 soldier bugs to [-] million.

However, the number of Zerg females is still increasing, and it will take up to a year to expand to a full population.

In the deep nest, seven huge female insects tirelessly lay eggs and hatch. Their fat abdomens are like a fertility factory, constantly outputting new life.

Up to [-] eggs a day slip out of the female worm's body and fall into the warm ooze prepared by the worker worms.

These ivory-white eggs emit a faint green light and hatch slowly in the mud.

Beside the incubation pool, groups of worker insects clean and care for the eggs day and night.

They use their slender mouthparts to clean the surface of each egg, and then smear the egg shell with special secretion to help the embryo absorb nutrients.

Occasionally, there will be sporadic undeveloped dead eggs, which are quickly removed from the hatching pool by workers.

Day after day, with careful care, the eggs gradually develop and take shape, and the little curled-up lives inside gradually mature.

Batteries of eggs began to burst, and new larvae struggled to emerge.Broken egg shells still remain on their well-nourished, fat bodies, and they will soon metamorphose into a more robust adult form after crawling out of the hatching tank.

In this cycle, the female insects contribute more than 2000 evolved eggs to the insect swarm every day, and there are another [-] eggs that will hatch into worker insects and combat soldier insects.

With the support of this continuous productivity, the number of insect swarms will surely expand rapidly to the expected 150 million in about a year.

This was the reason why Gu Hao had the confidence to agree to the Tide Lord's suggestion.

Gu Hao is worried about being besieged by many lords, but if it is one-on-one with these high-level lords, time is not on the side of Tidal Civilization.

Hold millions of swarms at your fingertips and only take a few months to replenish the losses.

Gu Hao believed that even if Tidal Civilization used all its trump cards, it would be impossible to stop the swarm from being overwhelmed.

However, Gu Hao has also prepared other means. Deep underground, the insect swarm is busy transforming the lake and insect nests.

First, move the location of the insect nest to a deeper and safer place.

Then by fusing special substances, they turn the bottom of the lake into a highly corrosive solution.

At the same time, the workers excavated huge cavities, which were located directly beneath the core area of ​​tidal civilization.

The top of the cavity is very fragile. Once it is damaged, highly corrosive lake water will pour in instantly, leveling everything above it.

In order to prevent tidal civilization from discovering it in advance, the insect swarm laid a thick layer of camouflage on the top of the cavity.

The Zerg have also prepared a large number of self-destructing cockroaches. Once the tidal civilization fails to fulfill its promise, the Zerg swarm can detonate at any time, causing the roof of the cavity to collapse.

At that time, the highly corrosive lake water will surge in like a flood, quickly eroding and dissolving the building structure.

The core area of ​​tidal civilization will be wiped out in the horrific scene of sudden collapse of the ground, and will be completely destroyed.

The Zerg are preparing for the decisive battle that will occur in the near future.

The situation near Buzhou Mountain began to become chaotic, and the situation near Buzhou Mountain was rapidly deteriorating.

The various lords originally joined forces to encircle and suppress the Zerg. The high-ranking lords all wanted to get closer to the mountains.

Due to the limitations of the terrain, the lords near the mountains were unwilling to relocate easily, let alone give up strategically important places.

Eventually, greed and lust for power broke their fragile alliance.

Linren Civilization believed that the foot of the mountain occupied by Dragonen Civilization was the best location and offered a sky-high price in exchange.

After being rejected, the Linren Lord was furious and sent troops to raid the dragon people's civilized territory.

The Dragon Legion began to counterattack, and the two armies fell into a fierce battle.

Seeing this, other lords also sent troops to compete for favorable positions.

For a time, soldiers were fighting around Buzhou Mountain, and arrows were flying.

Troops from various countries fought in the forests and canyons, and hundreds of kilometers of front lines were in chaos.

Thunder and whirlwinds exchanged fire in the sky, and explosions echoed in the valley.

Some lords also sent supernatural powers to engage in fierce duels in mid-air, with flames and lightning lighting up the sky.

The ground also became a sea of ​​blood, with countless casualties.

Seeing the chaos at the foot of Mount Buzhou, the lords who were far away secretly rejoiced.

They are planning a fatal blow, preparing to cut off a large piece of fat from the civilization that occupies the dominant area.

The fighting around Buzhou Mountain lasted for several months.

This fratricidal war, triggered by greed and lust for power, plunged the entire region into chaos and devastation.

The civilized buildings that once stood there have become ruins, filled with smoke and dust, and broken walls.

The vast forests of the past are now filled with scars caused by destructive weapons, and the ground is covered with mud and blood.

Finally, after months of bloodshed, the lords of various countries returned to the negotiating table.

After much haggling, a barely acceptable agreement was reached.

Other lucky civilizations also get a piece of fat that they have been coveting for a long time.

The agreement is far from perfect, but for now it re-establishes a delicate balance of power.

The civilized lords suppressed their desires for the time being, but no one knew how long this fragile alliance could last.

It turned out that this fragile truce did not last long.

Not long after the agreement was signed, just a few months later, another change occurred around Mount Buzhou.

At first, only a few small meteorites fell occasionally, but soon, large swaths of meteorites began to fall from the sky, as dense as a meteor shower.

These meteorites shone with golden light, splashing smoke and dust across the sky as they fell to the earth.

Every night, hundreds of dazzling meteorites streak across the night sky, creating a thrilling scene.

Some of them fell into the wilderness, some hit the cliff, some fell into the mountains, and some fell into the lake.

The roar of the falling meteorite shocked the entire Buzhou Mountain area.

These meteorites are huge in size, some are thousands of meters in diameter, and their flashing golden light illuminates the entire night sky.

They seem to come from a very distant universe, and when they fall to the earth, they bring a mysterious and shocking beauty.

The wilderness and lakes were covered in smoke from falling meteorites, and the mist was vast under the golden light. The scenery was strange and dreamy.

Some weaker lords realized that they might not have a chance to compete for the core position of Buzhou Mountain.

They secretly sent their legion to the depths of the wilderness to find the location where the meteorite fell.

These shining golden meteorites contain huge value. Obtaining them can make you become a top high-level civilization.

So these civilizations left the vicinity of Buzhou Mountain one after another, searching for the whereabouts of the meteorites.

At the same time, several powerful civilizations are also taking action.

They sent out a large number of legions and war machines and began to advance towards the core of Buzhou Mountain.

These established powers realized that the center of this meteor shower was over Mount Buzhou.

If you can control this area first, you can collect a large number of meteorites.

A civilization with meteorites will surely become the overlord of this world.

As a result, powerful civilizations from all walks of life began to surge towards the core of Buzhou Mountain.

Armies from various countries met on the way and fought day and night, reigniting war throughout the region.

And meteorites are falling more and more frequently, the energy level of the trial world is getting higher and higher, and more and more civilizations are entering the trial world.
