Chapter 5 Territorial Expansion
"Hey, I'm not going to trouble you, you dare to come to my trouble. Hmph, when I have more soldiers, I will definitely kill your kennel and slaughter your puppies to nothing!"
The hyena's surprise attack made Zhang Feng very annoyed. For this kind of animal that also exists on the earth, he knew something about it when he watched programs such as "Man and Nature", and he has always lacked good feelings. Now that he was suddenly attacked, he was even more determined to kill the other party to vent his anger.
Of course, it may be because of the energy of heaven and earth, the hyenas here are obviously much thicker than those on the earth.
"The swift mechanical insects clean up the battlefield and bury everything that has blood stains, and the mechanical insects continue to collect energy, and the main base produces according to the set proportions. ”
The hyenas killed by the swift mechanical bugs were all in a terrible state of death, although the corpses were thrown into the energy conversion furnace, but the blood stains all over the ground, if they were not buried deeply, the strong smell of blood would definitely attract powerful carnivores.
After such a small episode, Zhang Feng became more aware of the cruelty of the law of the jungle. If it weren't for the powerful enough of the swift mechanical worm, I'm afraid he, the inheritor who had just crossed over, would be in for a cup.
Another afternoon passed, and by the end of the evening, Zhang Feng already had 45 mechanical insects and 50 velociraptor mechanical insects. As for the mechanical prospecting ants, they are densely packed everywhere, according to the statistics of the main base, there are 1,000 in total, and they have all dispersed into the jungle in search of usable minerals.
In addition, as the number of mechanical insects increases, the efficiency of energy harvesting is getting higher and higher, and there is still a lot left over in addition to production. Now the energy reserve of the main base has skyrocketed, reaching 1,000 units, which makes Zhang Feng very happy.
The main base itself is a powerful combat unit, and with enough energy, the main, secondary, and small guns are all able to activate. However, the energy required for each battery to fire made Zhang Feng speechless.
A small cannon requires 100 units of energy per shot, a secondary gun requires 1,000 units of energy per shot, and a main gun requires up to 10,000 units of energy.
In other words, the energy saved in a day today is barely enough for the secondary gun to shoot a shot. Of course, this is because the number of mechanical insects is too small nowadays, but it is enough to tell the problem.
The distress of energy made Zhang Feng suppress the idea of wanting to try the power of the base battery.
"Energy, energy, is always the biggest pain in my heart! When there is enough energy, my brother will be majestic. Zhang Feng sighed with emotion, "The production capacity of the main base is too weak, and a combat unit is produced every 10 minutes, so how long will it take before it can have overwhelming troops! It seems that we have to build a sub-base in a hurry." Now there are enough metals to use, as long as the energy accumulates to 5000 units, you can build a sub-base. ”
Although he was desperate for energy, Zhang Feng also knew how terrifying the forest was at night, and the 50 swift mechanical insects under his command were not invincible, maybe they could be wiped out by attracting a powerful monster.
"All mechanical insects and swift mechanical insects are back in the vicinity of the main base, suspending operations, guarding tightly, and destroying all creatures that come near the main base. The main base continues to produce in accordance with the established proportions. ”
After giving this order, Zhang Feng frowned again and ate some raw meat, then returned to the main base and fell asleep.
Green lanterns moved around all night, but fortunately, Atlantis' combat units were not living organisms in the first place, and the metal guys didn't have much attraction to the unknown creatures, but instead didn't attack out of fear of the unknown - after all, whether it was the main base or the mineral engineering vehicles, they were big enough. According to the rules of survival in the jungle, generally speaking, large creatures are powerful enough.
The night was uneventful, and when I woke up the next day, I saw rows of mechanical insects and rapid mechanical insects on the flat ground in front of me, and the number was nearly two hundred.
With these supports, Zhang Feng was much bolder. However, he still didn't have the courage to challenge the giant centipede in the mushroom forest.
"Let's wait until the sub-base is built! There's really no need to take this risk now. ”
The production capacity and defense capability of the first-level sub-base are exactly the same as those of the first-level main base. The only difference is that the main base can produce sub-bases, while sub-bases cannot.
Once the main base is destroyed, the sub-base selected by the Inheritor will be upgraded to the new main base.
In other words, after having a sub-base, the safety of the civilization inheritance will be greatly improved.
"Report to the inheritors, mechanical prospecting ants have discovered two mines. The main base reported.
"Oh, so fast, where are they, not far from here?" Zhang Feng asked anxiously, looking at the large size of the mineral engineering truck, thinking about how difficult it was for them to walk in the jungle, and secretly praying in his heart that the distance between the two mines would not be too far.
"There are two mines, one in the east at a distance of 258.69 kilometers and one in the west at a distance of 56.24 kilometers. ”
"What? The distance to the east is 258.69 kilometers? It's only one day, can you run that far with the small size of a mechanical prospecting ant?" It's no wonder that Zhang Feng suspects that something like a little ant can run two or three hundred kilometers in one day, who can believe it!
"Mechanical prospector ants can attach to other creatures and are now found in the vicinity for hundreds of kilometers. The main base replied.
"I see. Zhang Feng suddenly realized that this was somewhat similar to the transmission method of plants such as Xanthus.
I didn't have time to think about this, so after a little hesitation, I gave an order:
"Keep going east!"
The mines to the west are close, but mushroom forests are in the way. Zhang Feng had already made up his mind that he would never touch the mushroom forest until the sub-base was built. He climbed the tree and observed, the mushroom forest seemed to be boundless, probably the big centipede was no longer nearby, otherwise it would not have reacted at all to such a big movement here.
But Zhang Feng didn't want to take the risk, since there could be a giant centipede in the mushroom forest, maybe there would be a second or third, and it was so close to the main base, if it provoked and destroyed the main base, then he would lose the foundation of survival in this world.
The ordinary forests to the east are also dangerous, but the sinister ones are much smaller.
Moreover, with the increase of resource gathering energy, there will be more and more mechanical insects under him, and the capital to survive in this forest will also increase.
After listening to the order, all the mechanical insects began to open up the forest to the east, and the swift mechanical insects automatically divided into two parts, half stayed to protect the main base, and the other followed the pioneer army of mechanical insects to clear the obstacles encountered.
This primeval forest is extremely rich in species, but in the face of more and more rapid mechanical insects, it can only be torn to pieces.
Dozens of swift mechanical bugs swung their sharp claws around a large python the size of a bucket and tens of meters long.
The big python has been provoked like this? The fierce surname couldn't help but get angry, opened his mouth and spewed out a stream of venom, and the venom of "nourishing ......" fell on the shell of the swift mechanical insect with a soft sound, and mottled holes appeared on the black and shiny shell, which showed the strength of the poisonous surname.
Fortunately, the mechanical body is not afraid of the poisonous surname at all, otherwise it would have suffered a heavy loss just this time.
The python's strongest move was ineffective, and the big head struck like lightning, biting a swift mechanical insect in front of it in one bite.
