The love, hate and vengeance between the Insect Planet and humans cannot be explained in a few days and nights.
The three hundred dark years are still a focus in history textbooks of various countries.
Textbooks classify it as colonial rule, but in the eyes of the Zerg, humans are the livestock they raise, the kind of livestock that are nutritious, delicious, delicate and easy to slaughter.
The Zerg is a species with division of labor. The Queen is the brain, responsible for commanding the entire race. This enables the Zerg to fully utilize the advantages of collectivism, enforce discipline, and put efficiency first. At the same time, because arthropods have no emotions or pain, they are the most terrifying iron army on the battlefield.
Unlike humans who must rely on external skeletons to move in space, Zerg can move freely in the universe. Their bodies are about 50 times harder than steel, and they have strong survival ability. They can survive for nearly a year without food or water.
What’s even scarier is that they are also tech-savvy.
The Zerg Queen differentiated into a type of brain worm. These brain worms are scientists among the Zerg, specializing in high technology research.
Throughout the galaxy, the Zerg are a notorious race.
The Zerg's genetic instinct is to reproduce and expand, so wherever the Zerg go, there is only war.
In simple terms, the Zerg are ferocious and warlike by nature, and all members of the Zerg are violent people. Their favorite thing is to fight for territory and have children.
It was pure luck that humans were able to defeat the Zerg back then.
Human scientists at that time accidentally developed a brain wave pheromone specifically for the Zerg Queen, which successfully caused the Queen's brain death. As a result, the entire Zerg race was thrown into chaos and was eventually severely damaged by humans.
However, the tricky thing about the Zerg is that after the queen dies, some females will quickly differentiate into new queens. After a fierce life-and-death battle, the strongest female will ascend to the throne by stepping on the corpses of other females.
Moreover, as time went on, and who knows how many queens had died, the new queen had also evolved and became immune to pheromones!
Humans can only continue to develop other pheromones and biological weapons, and then the Zerg will continue to evolve and become immune, thus entering an infinite cycle.
How to put it, the Zerg is equivalent to cockroaches. When you kill one cockroach, there are thousands of them waiting for you. You can never kill them all. In short, it is very annoying.
Although humans have now overthrown the Zerg's colonial rule, grown stronger, and developed robots called Gundams that can fight Zerg soldiers on the battlefield, they are still evenly matched and cannot determine the winner.
Therefore, the Zerg and humans maintained a precarious balance with great difficulty. Although there were occasional frictions, they were only controlled within a local scope.
The friction between the Zerg and the American Federation is also a normal occurrence here every few days.
Although the news was sensationalizing about Star Wars, few people took it seriously. They all laughed it off. There were even some stupid netizens who seriously began to analyze the fuse and significance of this Star Wars.
Le Jing couldn't be so optimistic.
This news gave him an inexplicable sense of crisis.
He hasn't felt such a strong sense of crisis for a long time.
The last time he felt this sense of crisis, he was still a Buddhist, and he sensed the impending foreign invasion through his innate destiny.
Now he is just an ordinary mortal and has no knowledge of fate, but his intuition is desperately warning him.
Le Jing rubbed his forehead in frustration, thought about it, and realized that even if a war really broke out, he could not do anything now.
He can't just go to the police and say, "My intuition tells me there will be an interstellar war and we must prepare for war mobilization!"
The next moment, he would probably be locked up in a mental hospital.
The outbreak of war involves many aspects and cannot be prevented by individual power.
He believed that the country's think tanks had already prepared a comprehensive crisis response plan, and even if a star war really broke out, humans would not be caught off guard.
So all he can do now is to continue his career, make movies, and live his life as usual.
At least don't wait until Star Wars breaks out before you regret not making good use of your time.

………
The preview of "The Queen's Dog" received rave reviews. Such strong positive feedback undoubtedly gave Bai's Entertainment a shot in the arm. They confidently scheduled "The Queen's Dog" for the Spring Festival.
Naturally, there is a premiere before the public release.
After discussing with Le Jing, Bai's Entertainment plans to schedule the premiere on the third day of the premiere of Tian Hui's new film "Tulip Beauty".
It seems that the investors are ambitious enough to compete with the Hetian Association.
There was no more Le Jing's business after that. The only thing he could do was to cooperate with Bai's Entertainment in publicity.
So he also had plenty of time to think about the documentary about Wu Zetian that would be broadcast on the documentary channel.
"The Mystery of Empress Wu Zetian" will be broadcast one day earlier than "The Empress's Royal Dog" on New Year's Eve. It is conceivable how much traffic it will attract. It can perfectly serve as a warm-up pilot for "The Empress's Royal Dog" and attract audiences.
…
A week later, Tian Hui's new work "Tulip Beauty" held its premiere. The red carpet was star-studded and killed countless films.
Countless media outlets broadcast the premiere, so Tian Hui's smug face was seen by thousands of households through the live cameras.
Le Jing did not watch the live broadcast.
He was in seclusion editing the video at the time.
The next afternoon, the person in charge of Bai's Entertainment called him and talked about this matter with a worried look on his face: "Yesterday's premiere of "Tulip Beauty" received rave reviews, and even internationally renowned directors praised the film. Many film critics boldly predicted that this will be the box office champion this year. I'm afraid we have to change the release date." There was no trace of his previous ambition in his words.
Le Jing raised an eyebrow: "Why do you want to change the schedule?"
The person in charge said tactfully: "'Tulip Beauty' and our 'The Queen's Dog' are both historical themes, and both are released during the Spring Festival. The audience will inevitably be divided by then, which may affect the box office."
"Historical theme?" Le Jing had just heard about it. He saw the movie introduction circulating on the Internet and it seemed to be a love story between a human and an insect? He thought it was an art film similar to "The Shape of Water".
The person in charge explained: "'Tulip Beauty' tells the story of past and present lives, with the Dark Three Hundred Years and the present interweaving. The hero was a brain worm scientist in his past life, and the heroine was an experimental subject. After the two fell in love, they were unable to break through the shackles of race. In the end, the heroine was killed and the hero committed suicide. Then time flowed to the present, and the heroine's reincarnation met the reincarnated hero while traveling to the worm planet, and thus continued their previous relationship."
Le Jing was silent for a moment, "I have a question."
"What?"
"Zerg... have feelings?"
This is about love and affection. Arthropods like insects should not have this ability!
The person in charge explained: "Ordinary Zerg don't have that, because they are almost brainless creatures, so they don't have the ability to think and have emotions, but the brain worms have developed brains, so naturally they also have emotions." After saying that, he was still a little surprised. Isn't this something in the junior high school science textbook? Director Shi didn't even know this.
Le Jing: ...The insects from your interstellar age are so fashionable.
"No need to change the release date." Le Jing calmly replied, "The two films are of different genres and have different audiences, so it doesn't matter if the release dates clash."
One is a tragic love story disguised as history, and the other is a true historical story of palace intrigue. The people in charge don't have to worry about the audience being diverted.
Le Jing presented his analysis one by one and finally convinced the person in charge to allow "The Queen's Dog" to be released as planned.
However, "The popularity of "Tulip Beauty" is so great that it is bound to steal the limelight from the premiere of "The Queen's Dog." The person in charge shook his head and sighed, "If we had known earlier, we would have held the premiere before them."
Le Jing: "Good things come late, and our film is no worse than Tian Hui's. Who will steal the limelight?"
After hanging up the phone, Le Jing also became very interested in "Tulip Beauty" and began to search for relevant information online.
Then he discovered that not only did countless film critics praise the film, but countless audiences also turned into tap water to praise "The Tulip Beauty", and major film and television weekly magazines also reported in detail on last night's premiere.
With such a massive publicity and good reputation from the audience, the internet is now flooded with discussions about "The Tulip Beauty", while "The Queen's Dog" has little traffic and is only talked about by a few netizens.
Le Jing doesn't care about these things. After all, everything depends on the work, and he has confidence in his work.
Although he didn't know where Tian Hui got this highly acclaimed script, Le Jing didn't think his movie was that bad.
While browsing the comments from netizens, Le Jing discovered a very interesting small group.
The avatars of this small group are all various insects. When you click on their Starbucks homepage, you will see photos of giant insects everywhere.
The content of the Star Blog is all about worshipping and praising the Zerg, praising the Zerg for being handsome, powerful, loyal, smart... There was even a girl who praised the Zerg so much that she couldn't close her legs.
It was these people who praised "Tulip Beauty" the most and in the most disgusting way on Starblog. Many people had never seen the movie, but just because the male lead was a Zerg, they vowed that they would go to the cinema to contribute to the box office!
They seem to be engaging in Zerg worship.
Le Jing wasn't very surprised by this.
Even on Earth, there are many insect lovers, but in the interstellar age, humans' love for Zerg is mixed with many elements.
On the one hand, in the interstellar age, human aesthetics have become increasingly diversified, and the standards for choosing a mate have become very loose, and there are many humans who intermarry with aliens.
Although there is a reproductive barrier between humans and Zerg, humans in the interstellar age do not care about having offspring.
The Zerg are powerful and majestic, and many people sincerely want to take giant Zergs as their mates.
On the other hand, the Zerg are the former sovereign after all, and many humans admire the strong, which gave rise to many twisted Zerg fanatics. In terms of nature, are they similar to the American centrists in later generations?
Of course, there are also a small number of netizens who are insect lovers and giant creature lovers. Giant insects just satisfy their weird cuteness. If it weren't for the high combat power of Zerg and the restrictions of national laws, these people might have started raising Zerg a long time ago.
Suddenly, a guess crossed Le Jing's mind:
Could "Tulip Beauty" be a cultural propaganda film invested by the Zerg? What kind of human-insect love is this? Could it be a cultural brainwashing invasion or peaceful evolution?
Le Jing thought for a few seconds, smiled and shook his head. He also felt that this guess was somewhat untenable. Maybe he was overthinking it?
