Chapter 30: Meat! Titanium alloy!

The whales wiped out by the snow wind were very lucky, and in the barren Saturn, they were able to find the titanium zirconium element contained in the foreign meteorite, and these meteorite snow wind is presumed to come from the asteroid belt between Mars and Earth.

The snow wind left the Saturn system, and Behemoth accelerated to the peak of its cruising speed in a very short time, quickly escaping beyond the asteroid belt.

The hives and other units that were left behind by Snow Wind on Saturn, under the leadership of the two sisters, continued the tasks they had been assigned before, and dozens of king worms took off and landed on the top of the main nest every day.

A large amount of resources are being transported from Saturn's nest, some for storage and the other for incubating new units.

Puppies, fire spiders, hosts, and king insects are hatching in large numbers according to 200:400:20:1, and Snow Wind did not add Behemoth to the hatching sequence, after all, according to the current production capacity of the insect swarm, the cycle of hatching one is too long.

And it also needs to be irradiated by colorful crystals in order to really grow to the expected size, and Xue Feng is worried that long-term use of crystals will consume the energy contained in them.

When the strong energy is consumed, the law of conservation of energy has proved this, which is also the real reason why Xuefeng does not dare to use crystals on a large scale, perhaps only when he finds more abundant crystal resources, Xuefeng will make a large number of Behemoths become the basic unit of the swarm.

The step-by-step development plan also allowed Xuefeng to leave the main nest with peace of mind and go to the titanium zirconium mining site.

As it passes by Jupiter, the snow wind pays a slight tribute to the largest gas planet in the solar system.

She never thought that because gaseous things are not easy to store, and Xuefeng has to convert the collected gas into a solid state before it can be added to the inventory, and the energy used in the conversion makes this method too cost-effective.

Yukikaze left a host near Jupiter as a transit and flew towards Mars non-stop, and she will also place a host near the orbit of Mars, so that she will not lose her mental connection with the swarm.

This time, Behemoth was large enough, and even if she threw it all the way, she would still have enough hosts.

A month later, Yukikaze returned to the asteroid belt in low Earth orbit again, observing the Earth through the asteroid, the originally beautiful azure sphere has now turned black-brown, which is the color of the glazed ground, which is now devoid of any life on it, and turned into a toxic gas around the surface of the planet.

If the earth can still give birth to life, I don't know how many trillions of years it will take for the glazed ground to disintegrate and the toxic atmosphere to be purified into an ordinary atmosphere.

Xue Feng felt that before he left, it seemed that he should do something for the planet that gave birth to him and raised him.

But not now, she turned her attention back to the asteroid belt, because there are many meteorites containing titanium zirconium, and near the insect swarm, there are super large titanium meteorites.

This meteorite is more than 30,000 square meters, and the whole is an irregular egg shape, and the surface is pitted and cratered, which is the result of collisions with other meteorites.

What really makes Xue Feng happy is the titanium content of up to 80 percent, which means that if Xue Feng decomposes this meteorite, he can obtain more than 30,000 tons of titanium.

This titanium is enough for Snow Wind to integrate into the carapace of the existing insect swarm, and the titanium zirconium contained in those whale carapaces is only a small part, which can achieve a super defensive effect.

"The king insects will take out the meteorite, and the worker ants will prepare for the collection operation......"

A series of orders were given by Xue Feng without hesitation, and the mining team of the entire insect swarm began to operate efficiently.

This time, Xuefeng will also be accompanied by hundreds of king insects loaded with worker ants, which will be mining in the asteroid belt.

Don't underestimate the worker ants, although they are the lowest level of the swarm, they are the only individuals on the ground who can move freely in the universe.

A pair of wing-like vents on the backs of worker ants can eject gas outwards to propel them around the universe, and each joint can also emit gas to stabilize their body posture.

It's just that they are not very large, and they can not be active outside for a long time, and they must return to Behemoth to replenish their energy before their body's energy is consumed before they can continue to work.

Hundreds of king insects, surrounding this meteorite, formed a propulsion matrix with a certain angle.

Then he stretched out his tentacles hidden under the carapace, firmly grasped the meteorite, and after holding himself and his companion in place, the plasma propulsion organ in the tail spewed out a blue tail flame.

Slowly push the meteorite that was seen by the snow wind away from the scope of the asteroid belt and go to the outside of the asteroid belt, where Behemoth docked.

Behemoth is too large, and it is very dangerous to drive into the asteroid belt like this, and the asteroid that hits it will damage its carapace, and it is not easy to repair such a huge size.

And the volume of this meteorite is more than ten times larger than Behemoth, and it is obviously impossible to use the king worm to push it back to the main nest to decompose.

Mining on the spot, the titanium ingots that have been condensed after decomposition are transported back little by little with king worms.

Behemoth withstood the meteorite that flew towards it, only slightly spewing out a tail flame backwards, because after the king worm extinguished the flame, only the inertial meteorite remained, and it was easily stopped.

Then, after more than a hundred king insects dispersed, the meteorite was firmly fixed on this coordinate, and the worker ants poured out and began the long collection operation.

Behemoth, which has the function of the main nest, uses the resources stored in the body to continuously deliver biomass to each king worm.

These are not for the king insects, but for those hard-working worker ants, the king insects with the solar furnace do not need biomass intake, and the solar furnace in their bodies will continuously generate life-sustaining energy for themselves.

Worker ants are worthy of being the most powerful miners in the universe, and even in the face of extremely hard titanium ore, strong chelates can be like cutting tofu, dividing meteorites into rough stones of one meter square each.

Such a shape is easy to transport, and the decomposition tank in Behemoth's body condenses the transported rough stones into smaller titanium ingots day and night.

The worker bees will then carry it to one of the remaining king worms, which will sail back to the main nest far away in Titan after being fully filled with titanium ingots, allowing the entire swarm to evolve into an invisible titanium alloy carapace.

The carapace of Behemoth itself, which is derived from the elements extracted from the giant whale, is now infused with more titanium zirconium elements, becoming harder, and the entire carapace also presents a dazzling titanium white.

If the invisible fungus blanket on the surface activates the ability, the entire Behemoth will disappear in place, and the super concealment of the insect swarm is vividly reflected.
