Chapter 378: The Golden Fleet's Source of Energy
Narud is dead, and with it the Empire's greatest barrier hybrid against the Alien Worms has been destroyed. But the destruction of the hybrid lab doesn't mean that the swarm will no longer be able to move through the empire's borders. Countless Imperial fleets are the enemy that stands in the way of Queen Blade's vengeance.
At the very least, the Queen of Blades will have to deal with most of the fleet to have a chance of besieging the Imperial capital of Keha.
Therefore, the Queen of Blades rejected Zhao Yi's suggestion to prioritize the threat of the Star Spirits, intending to destroy Mengsk with the power of the hit.
The truth is placed here, and there is nothing wrong with the strategic decision of the Queen of Blades.
If the Queen of Blades abandons the attack on the Empire and instead defends the Empire, then the swarm that is fully committed to fighting against the Astral Gold Fleet is likely to face a two-front battle - Mengsk, who has long known about the return of the Queen of Blades, will not let go of the good opportunity for the swarm to be crushed by the Golden Fleet.
In the face of humans and star spirits who may cooperate to deal with the alien insects, then it is better to send most of the main forces to destroy the humans who are much weaker than the Golden Fleet, and then fight against the powerful star spirits.
"Yes, Queen. I will try to stop the Golden Fleet as much as I can. ”
When Zhao Yi said this, it meant that the next battle with the Golden Fleet would be in an incomparably long strategic defensive posture.
"Good."
The Queen of Blades cut off communication with Zhao Yi.
——————————————————————
The conversation with the Queen of Blades is not absolute, in order to allow Zhao Yi to gain control of the swarm, as much as possible to drag down the golden fleet before the insects destroy the empire. The Queen of Blades took the initiative to give Zhao Yi the power to control all the insects except for the swarm under the command of the Queen of Blades.
Without a special request, the Queen of Blades even took the initiative to give Zhao Yi two important insect units.
Abbasser, Master of Evolution, and Izza, the Blade Queen's lieutenant.
Zhao Yi didn't know if there was any surveillance when Izsha appeared around, but what Zhao Yi knew was that Izsha was a very capable alien insect.
She is a human, and after being captured by the Queen of Blades, Izza was transformed into a powerful alien. She is very good at battlefield organization, assisted navigation, logistical analysis, and recording information. Her body is embedded in the Leviathan's audit center, where and where she is able to analyze thousands of sensory data from the swarm every minute and every second.
The advance of the Golden Fleet continued, and in the long process of gathering intelligence and organizing a small-scale Alien Fleet to resist, Zhao Yi gradually understood that this fleet was advancing slowly, but only one glass ball after another was left everywhere it went.
They never send troops to land for battle, and if possible, they will incinerate any planet that has a sign of alien life. In the event that they need to collect crystal ore or high-energy gas, they will use their fleet to defeat the insects in orbit before sending an elite guard to protect the crystal ore exploration machine and absorption bin.
The number of times the Golden Fleet collected crystal ore was very small, so that a large number of ground alien units in the incinerated main nest were directly slaughtered without even having a chance to fight - and because the Queen of Blades had dispatched most of the Leviathans to attack the human empire earlier, Zhao Yi could not organize an effective alien fleet at all.
Even if you gather all the existing Leviathans and fight with the Astral Gold Fleet, you will only be able to replace one-twentieth of its ships. This is the conclusion that Izsha came to through data analysis.
It was as if the Golden Fleet had entered a no-man's land.
"Tell me, Abbasir, what do you know about the fleet of the Star Spirits?"
Zhao Yi left Izza, who could assist him in commanding the insects freely, and came to Leviathan's evolutionary cavity, and also came to Abbather's side.
"Powerful, terrifying, hard to match. A large amount of Leviathan is required. ”
Abbather knew that Zhao Yi had consulted him for advice, so Abbather made the most pertinent and practical suggestion.
Ahh
"Well, tell me, where does the energy for the Golden Fleet come from."
One by one, the lonely glass balls lay down in the cosmic vacuum, and burning a planet is not a lighter, and he will become a glass ball. But it takes an infinite amount of energy.
So where does this force come from? Energy must be conserved, or do they leap strategic goods directly from Sarculas to the fleet by means of a twist? Or use some magical way to absorb the energy that caused the Golden Fleet to burn the planet in a place that Zhao Yi didn't understand? Or is energy not conserved?
"Energy, from, crystal mines, high-energy gas, crystal towers."
Abbather sent a small fragment of psionic energy to Zhao Yi, which was a fragment of the wreckage of a Void Glow Ship.
Zhao Yi was a little dizzy to see what was revealed inside, and after several retrospectives, Zhao Yi saw the consumables of the Void Glow Ship in the clip.
"This snippet ...... Their Void Glow ships need to consume a lot of crystal ore to complete the irradiation? ”
"Correct, correct."
Logistics and supply, this is something that any army will be constrained from ancient times to the present.
No matter what enemy the human army is fighting against, it needs to organize countless supplies. From bullets and shells, to parts for maintenance equipment, to food and recreational paraphernalia consumed by humans themselves. The supply of the Alien Insect Army is much simpler. As long as there is a nutrient solution, it is enough, with the nutrient solution, the wounds of the insect colony can be healed by the saliva secreted by the insect queen, the bone needles lost by the stinging snake will grow again, and the spore reptile can secrete acid spores again.
And the star spirit is an infinite amount of energy.
The best sources of energy are the crystal mines that can be found everywhere in the galaxy, and the crystal towers that can absorb and store free energy.
In times of war, the advance of the fleet requires crystal ore, the irradiation of the Void Glow ship needs crystal ore, the Notre Dame ship's Star Destroyer cannon needs crystal ore, and even the Zealot's psionic blade also needs the energy supply of crystal ore to a large extent.
At this time, although the Golden Fleet had carried out a flat push tactic in the world of Alien Insects, a new door opened in front of Zhao Yi - maybe their logistical pressure was very huge? Maybe the swarm will be able to drag them down with the help of their never-ending characteristics?
The swarm's hatching Insect unit is not as picky about its energy sources as the Astral Spirit. In the absence of an option, the Fungus Blanket is able to absorb the sun's rays for photosynthesis, the Extraction Room is capable of recovering the corpses of any combat units found, and can also absorb geothermal heat to obtain energy.
Drag is absolutely okay, but what needs to be done, that's an important point.
