Chapter 229: The Development Direction of the Zerg Level 4 Civilization
After thinking that the snake queen Chu Heng sent Roland away, Chu Heng fell into deep thought about his words.
He got another 2 billion standard spar funds, which is undoubtedly another opportunity for him.
The Bora company has obviously decided that the Zerg wants to speculate on the price of Thai ore, so they have pushed the price of Thai ore resources to 150,000 standard spars per ton. If the Zerg at this time was really speculating in the Tai Mine, there was no doubt that the Zerg had been defeated, but unfortunately Chu Heng's purpose was not to speculate in the Tai Mine, and it was even more a pity that the poor Bora Company had not understood this until now.
Do you want to use the 2 billion standard crystals to continue to acquire Thai mines? If Bora Company really has such a deep foundation as Roland said, then they will undoubtedly push the price of Thai ore to below 200,000 standard crystals per ton, so that Chu Heng is still profitable. But now it's getting riskier.
It has been two months since the Akara Kingdom attacked the El Star Domain, and with the strong strength of five level 18 planet kings, the El Star Domain has almost no resistance.
Just now, Roland also revealed an astonishing piece of information to Chu Heng, the overlord of the El Star Domain, the Kekira Demon Empire and the Akara Kingdom, had a great battle on a planet called Keqiram. And in this battle, the king of the Doturas, Munke. Bissaron personally killed an enemy level 18 magician, and the Kekira Wizard Empire was defeated and no longer able to resist the invasion of the Acala Kingdom.
According to the identification of the captured soldiers of the Kekira Wizard Empire, this powerful mage who was killed on the spot was one of the two great wizard kings of the Kekira Wizard Empire.
A level 18 powerhouse is a pillar of existence for a third-level civilization, and the Kekira Wizard Empire has become the overlord of the El Star Domain because it has two level 18 Wizard Kings. It was precisely for this reason that the Magic Kingdom of Kamp, another third-level high-level civilization in the El Star Domain, did not dare to provoke him. But now that one of the pillars has collapsed, it is foreseeable that the fall of the El Domain will be sooner or later.
The smoother the battle of the Akara Kingdom in the El Star Domain, the easier it is to attract the attention of the Dark Council, and the more this happens, the easier it is for the Zerg's plan to be exposed. It can be said that the exposure of the Zerg is now imminent. Under such circumstances, does Chu Heng dare to continue to buy Thai mines? In case of an incident in the east window on the way from the Thai mine to Loloc Star, then the 2 billion standard spars will be completely lost.
After struggling for a while, Chu Heng still sighed, people's hearts are not enough, why should he be so greedy since he has already harvested so much energy?
The Akara Kingdom is not easy to provoke, even if its own Zerg has accumulated enough energy to promote to a level 4 civilization, it is only equivalent to a new level 4 civilization, and there is still a gap between it and a level 4 civilization like the Akara Kingdom. Don't you see that there are more than a dozen level 18 powerhouses in the Akara Kingdom, these are all monsters that can resist level 4 warships, not to mention the iconic existence of level 4 civilization, level 19 powerhouses.
After letting go of everything, Chu Heng was also relieved. Now that the life energy in his hands has exceeded 10 billion, it is time to put the improvement of the Zerg strength on the agenda.
Now there are three routes for the Zerg to be promoted to level 4 civilization, the first route is to use this huge life energy to replace the shields of the current main ships of the Zerg such as the second-level Leviathan and the giant centipede battleship with the ghost power field. In this way, the average level 3 civilization is almost powerless to fight back under the crushing of such technology, and the strength of the ghost power field is not something that the main cannon of the level 3 civilization can easily blast through.
However, this also has its drawbacks, that is, the second-level Leviathan itself is a third-level battleship, and it is only because it has a ghostly power field that it barely becomes a fourth-level battleship. Such a battleship is definitely at the bottom of a tier 4 civilization. In other words, even if the Zerg is upgraded to a level 4 civilization, it is still the weakest of the level 4 civilization. This was completely inconsistent with Chu Heng's expectations.
Chu Heng promoted the Zerg to a level 4 civilization not to bully those level 3 civilizations, but to confront the level 4 civilization. However, the background of the Zerg is too thin now, and the development time is too short, and it is not at the same level as those fourth-level civilizations that have accumulated tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.
The second route is to create a brand new Zerg warship with a large size, and then use the quality of the Nether Power Field to make it a natural invincible fortress. However, limited to the tenacity of the ghostly power field organs, the larger the size of the Zerg battleship, the larger the ghostly power field organs required, which means that the life energy consumed is also larger.
If you want to realize the huge space fortress that Chu Heng conceived, then the volume must reach a diameter of 500 kilometers. The cost of such a behemoth must exceed 10 billion, which means that the energy that Chu Heng worked hard to earn in the Acala Kingdom will only be enough to create this space fortress by then.
This reliance on a massive and virtually invincible Battlestar is not just an idea. Once upon a time, a Tier 6 civilization created a warship the size of a planet, and its position was so powerful that it could repel a star from the star system. This kind of existence below the seventh-level civilization is basically incomprehensible, and it belongs to the final weapon of the intermediate civilization.
However, with the current technology of the Zerg, there is no way to create such a weapon, the first is that the energy is not enough, and the second is that the ghost power field organ designed by Anna is not qualified, and the 500-kilometer diameter space fortress is already the limit, and the number of more tenacious ghost power field organs must be more tenacious beyond this volume, which is completely beyond the current technological conditions of the Zerg.
However, the 500-kilometer space fortress is already almost invincible in a level 4 civilization, and unless the other party has a larger space fortress, it will not be able to compete with such a big guy.
But the disadvantage of this route is that the Zerg cannot rely on it to fight on multiple fronts, because such a fortress costs a lot, and it is already the limit to build one with the current energy of the Zerg, and it is not possible to build a second one in a short period of time. Moreover, the Zerg currently have to fight against the Dark Council and be wary of the Akara Kingdom, so there is really no way to do both.
The third route is relatively simple, and there are 18 levels of unknown galaxymon genes in the gene map from the Nagnas rubbing. The reason why the Zerg never used it was because the genetic sequence was so perfect that it would be almost impossible to modify it into a state that would only take a few seconds to reach maturity after hatching like the Zerg, as it would break almost all the constructs of this near-perfect genetic sequence.
But if the Zerg uses it as a blueprint and relies on KEY's life realm to create a similar lifeform, it is not impossible, but Chu Heng's purpose is not to create an 18-level creature, but to create a 19-level creature that can threaten a 4-level civilization, which means that there must be a breakthrough in this gene.
One of the great drawbacks of the creatures created with KEY is that there is no genetic code for the creatures that need to be created, and it will cost a lot of energy to create a creature that does not meet the desired goal, and the higher the level of the creature, the more obvious the difference. Although it has the genetic code of a level 18 mysterious galaxy beast, it is undoubtedly very difficult to create a level 19 creature based on it, although it will not really be a defective product, but it will undoubtedly create a level 19 creature that does not match the energy spent, that is, a creature with a very low cost performance.
Researchers can slowly explore this point, just as they did when they created a puppy. Because with the development of Zerg technology, although the cost of today's jumping worm after several evolutions is more than ten times higher than that of the former level 1 puppy, it can be completely achieved to the extent of one enemy and one hundred, and the cost performance of the two is completely incomparable. (The Level 1 puppy is the first Zerg unit created by KEY, not the level 2 puppy that is now used to evolve into a jumping worm, the level 2 puppy is a new unit that has been optimized by Zerg researchers later)
According to the conclusion reached by asking KEY, Chu Heng would spend about 5 billion life energy to create such a level 19 creature, which means that with the energy in Chu Heng's hands, three such powerful creatures could be created.
It's a pity that KEY clearly pointed out that the combat power of this creature should be at the level 19 level, and such an existence can only bluff people, and it is impossible to use it against the Acala Kingdom. Because the King of Akara of the Akara Kingdom is undoubtedly a powerful being who has been in level 19 for many years, it would be tantamount to suicide for such a level 19 beginner creature to fight against him.
It is not impossible to spend more energy to increase its strength to level 19 intermediate or even level 19 high or peak, but the answer given by KEY is 10 billion life energy at the intermediate level, 20 billion at the high level, and 50 billion at the peak. Such a cost performance can make Chu Heng vomit blood, so he doesn't have any expectations in this regard.
Because if this is the case, it is better to create 3 level 19 beginner creatures, after all, 15 billion to create 3 level 19 beginner creatures can completely defeat 1 level 19 high-level creature created by 20 billion, and the more advanced the creature, the lower the cost performance.
Senior Researcher Anna said that if she was given time, it was possible to figure out the genes of this creature, and the minimum could reach less than 1 billion to create a level 19 beginner creature. It's a pity that what the Zerg lacks now is time, and the deadline given by Anna is at least 5 years of exploration, because this gene is too perfect, and changing it a little bit will greatly tarnish its perfection, let alone upgrade it to a level 19 creature.
The first method is to install a ghost power field organ for the second-level Leviathan, Anna has completed the experiment and can be carried out at any time, as for the second and third methods, Chu Heng decided to hand them over to Anna and Abbather respectively to be responsible for scientific research, as for which path to choose now, Chu Heng has not yet decided, after all, the three paths have their own advantages and disadvantages, and he really can't choose. In the final analysis, the background of the Zerg is too shallow, if the Zerg has hundreds of billions of life energy, Chu Heng will not be so difficult at this moment.
Anyway, the Zerg has the ability to complete hatching and evolution in a short time, and it is not impossible to temporarily choose a suitable path when the Zerg encounters difficulties in the future, and now just wait for the good news from Anna and Abasser, maybe they will have some breakthroughs.
