Lin Ye's Analysis!

Seeing Firmament, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly reappear and stir up this wave, Lin Ye in the Livestream Room couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The Firmament, the Zerg, Leviathans, the Broodmother... the Insect Star...

This civilization, which has long ruled the Azure Star, has indeed exceeded Lin Ye's expectations.

Lin Ye had to admit that the mysteries within the "Heart of the Swarm" Instance were indeed much deeper, and his initial expectations had underestimated its potential.

This was the first time he had felt pressure since he came into this world.

All these pressures stem from the unknown.

During the Azure Star era, Lin Ye never felt this kind of pressure when designing Instance, because everything was under his control.

But now things are different. For the first time, he felt as if he were surrounded by a fog, a bewildering sense of uncertainty.

I really underestimated how stupid these insects are.

Or rather, they may be quite foolish, but they possess a unique kind of wisdom in certain aspects.

These damned bugs seem to always be showing off new characteristics, some of which are hard to understand with human thinking and completely incomprehensible using conventional thinking.

"Heh... things are starting to get interesting."

"You've got something special, Firmament."

Although he felt somewhat lost, it wasn't enough to make Lin Ye completely lose confidence or start to panic.

He believed in his Earth Online combat power, which was at least half the strength of the Trisolaran Civilization, and that it was definitely capable of defeating the insects.

If Lin Ye couldn't even defeat a bunch of insects with such low technological levels, he would accept it; even if he were wiped out, he would deserve it.

What he needs to do now is calm down and analyze everything rationally.

The characteristics of the Broodmother, as well as the structure of the Insect Star itself, are things that Lin Ye, as an observer, cannot understand at this moment.

This is equivalent to the underlying mechanism of an Instance, which is currently in a state that cannot be cracked.

The fundamental reason is that too little information is provided, and one has to gradually figure it out through combat.

It's obvious that Firmament's initial description of the Heart of the Swarm Instance was completely inaccurate, concealing far too much information.

This situation would not normally exist on Azure Star. In the era when the Firmament ruled Azure Star, any Instance had to be reviewed by the Firmament, and the information provided to Challengers had to be guaranteed to be authentic and comprehensive.

Otherwise, if even the Instance prompts and Instance are fake, what's the point of playing?

But now it's time for me to fight against the Firmament Curtain, so naturally I can't expect an opponent to be merciful to me.

"What a strange Insect Star..."

"The destruction of that fake Broodmother acted like a fuse, directly triggering an explosion."

"Moreover, this explosion didn't resemble a traditional bombing; it was more like a landmine. The entire explosion originated from inside the Insect Star, and the explosive material wasn't gunpowder or anything like that, but rather a highly concentrated, high-density corrosive gas..."

"What kind of bizarre structure is this, that it can achieve this through the internal detonation of a planet?"

Lin Ye muttered to himself, beginning to use his understanding of the interstellar world from his previous life to speculate on the possibilities.

At this stage, it's true that some things can no longer be explained by science.

The entire feel of the Insect Star Instance doesn't stem from the scientific logic that Lin Ye already knows.

All he can do is analyze and guess.

"The Zerg race doesn't possess advanced technology. These seemingly terrifying things are likely cobbled together through Instance mechanics and hidden buffs. The challenge now is figuring out how to unravel the mystery..."

In fact, this is just like the five Five Permanent Members Instance I designed. The Level technology is one aspect, but some of the mechanisms within them also play a very important role.

In many cases, what defeats Challengers is not simply the overwhelming superiority of weapons and technology, but rather that the Challengers never understood the mechanics of the Instance from the beginning.

For example, the "Pearl Harbor Wounds" buff that appears after the Challengers attack Pearl Harbor in the Raging Waves.

For example, the powerful boost after conquering one of the three main cities in Winter Is Coming.

These things have nothing to do with military technology; they are more of a deception.

While Firmament claims to be simply engaging in a battle Instance data, it's clear that their Heart of the Swarm Instance contains hidden tricks.

Lin Ye began to secretly plan, gathering all the known information about various Insect Star in his mind and sorting it out one by one.

1. Insect Star is the homeworld of the Zerg, the place where all Zerg are born, and also the main map of the Firmament Instance.

2. The highest-level unit of the Zerg is the Broodmother, followed by a clear hierarchy of Broodmother - Leviathan - regular Zerg!

3. The Broodmother controls Leviathan with her mind, and Leviathan controls the other Zerg. The lowest-level Zerg have no thoughts and are controlled by higher-level Zerg using pheromones and nerves.

4. The Broodmother seems to have a buff that greatly enhances the effects of various attributes of other Zerg, especially her own regeneration ability.

5. The Zerg Insect Star has 10 Broodmother, and perhaps only one of them is real, but this is just the personal speculation of the Instance NPC Ding Chang, and has no basis whatsoever.

6. After destroying the fake Broodmother, the Insect Star will undergo a violent explosion, and then slowly recover, exhibiting the basic characteristics of a living organism... and this recovery characteristic is very similar to Leviathan, which is currently fighting against the Earth Allied Forces in Earth Online.

The strangest thing about this is the self-healing property of the Insect Star. How could a planet possibly have the ability to regenerate? That's just too outrageous!

As Lin Ye was thinking, his eyes suddenly lit up!

Wrong!

The line of thinking has clearly led to a dead end.

There's a big misconception here: some of the information we have now was actually provided to us by Firmament when they first introduced the Heart of the Swarm Instance.

Based on the current situation of the match, the information provided by the Firmament may not be accurate.

It's highly likely that this is misleading, or even a narrative trick!

For example, this hierarchy of Broodmother - Leviathan -Ordinary Zerg is essentially provided by Firmament and has not been fully verified.

Could it be that there's actually a higher-level Zerg Overmind manipulating all of this?

This possibility cannot be ruled out at all!
