Chapter 257: The Wonderful Use of Biomass

In the White Hart system, the fleet of the Imperial Fleet is still under the command of Karni and fighting against Tyranid's biological warships.

However, there are too many Tyranid bio warships, and even though Imperial warships are generally far superior in quality to those of the same size Tyranid, there are still many bio ships surrounding the entire Long River Star Cluster.

The subspace shadow formed by the hive's will obscures humanity's connection with the subspace.

Fortunately, humans do not rely on subspace to move and communicate faster than light at this time.

The Long River Star can still maintain communication with the Imperial Hub, and the Imperial warships in the starry sky can also go to another galaxy to repair the battleship's armor or replenish ammunition through the hyperspace engine after throwing off the biological warship.

However, this does not mean that the siege of Tyranid creatures did not have any effect on the Empire.

The spaceports of the planets in the White Hart system, the satellites in orbit of the planets, and the orbital defense platforms were all destroyed by Tyran's biological warships.

Even the firepower around the stars is strong. The star base, which has an astonishing defensive power, has also been devastated by the attacks of countless Tyranid bio-warships. Numerous functional areas were destroyed.

Many Space Marines and Celestial Troopers are fighting against the various Tyranid creatures that have broken through.

All of this makes it impossible for the Imperial fleet to get a place for them to dock from the various Imperial Worlds and Battlefortresses in the White Hart System to recuperate.

Therefore, when the battleships in the Imperial fleet are not in good condition, they can only travel to another galaxy for repairs and replenishment, and then return to the battlefield a few light years away. Instead of trimming the nearest Imperial world in the system.

And this also means that it is difficult for the Empire's fleet to support the Imperial forces in the Empire of the White Deer System Empire.

In order to bring out the mobility of the Imperial warships, Karni, as the commander-in-chief, scattered his forces very sporadically.

Imperial warships usually come in groups of three or five, gathering and scattering, appearing and disappearing, infesting and haunting, with small targets, fast speed, and flexible movements. This allows for agility to kill, consume, confuse, and exhaust Tyranns.

The Empire's warships rely on their mobility in the vast space to contain and destroy dozens of times the number of biological warships they have.

But if the Imperial warship takes the initiative to approach the planet, it is giving up its greatest advantage.

Even if the performance of the Imperial warship was superior, it would simply not be able to resist the attack of the Tyranid biological warship that was dozens or hundreds of times more numerous than it.

Like a male lion jumping into a large and hungry hyena pack. A male lion may be able to take a few hyenas, but he will also eventually fall.

Moreover, the proximity of the warship to the Imperial World is also likely to attract more Tyranid biospaceships to come closer, bringing a greater threat to the planet.

As a result, Imperial ships could not get close to the planets that were surrounded by three circles outside the Tyranid Battleship, nor could they get close to those planets.

The large number of Tyranid bio warships completely surrounded the Imperial world, making it impossible for the worlds to maintain contact with the Empire, but not to receive any material or military support from the Empire.

Whether it's food, minerals, or energy, the world that is surrounded is always being consumed, never replenished.

------

In the past, the Empire was able to quell a planet's rebellion with just one or two warships.

This is partly due to the fact that the high-powered weapons on it are capable of attacking the ground directly, while the resistance on the ground is defenseless. This is partly due to the belief of the subjects of the Empire in the Emperor, and partly because the subjects of the Empire are afraid of the Empire's methods against traitors.

However, there is another important reason that only one or two Imperial warships can complete the blockade of an entire planet.

In the old era when there was a shortage of warships, hundreds of warships were already considered a war that exhausted the strength of the whole country. A naval fleet, which usually manages an entire or several star sectors, usually has no more than 40 warships and no more than 20 capital ships.

One or two naval warships are enough to cut off an entire planet from the outside world, which is very deadly for some planets.

Generally speaking, a planet is so large that it can be self-sufficient even if it does not interact with the outside world.

However, in the past, under the orders of the empire or its own characteristics, most of the various worlds of the empire have carried out targeted development in a certain direction, and their development is not comprehensive.

Some agricultural worlds are only responsible for producing food, and others are very weak. Some mining worlds are just for mining, and nothing else.

If the rebel planet blocked by the Imperial warships is a nest world, then even if he doesn't do anything, it won't be long before the planet under them will choose to return to the Empire again.

If the rebel leader disagrees, the angry crowd will even tear him apart to beg for forgiveness from the Empire.

Because if the Imperial warships continue to blockade, there will be an unknown number of people starving to death on the entire planet due to lack of food.

In some factories in the Hive World, although they can produce corpse starch made of unknown materials, they can't meet the needs of the entire planet at all.

These tech-rich and ruthless foods are simply not enough to fill everyone's stomachs.

In the past, the world of the Hive had to rely on constant recycling and the import of food and other raw materials from the wider empire to keep the vast population of the Hive Capital fed and clothed.

As a result, the Empire is sometimes able to reclaim a rebellious Hive without a single soldier.

And now we look at the Changhe Star, which is currently located in the White Deer Galaxy, which is so airtight that it is wrapped in a hive fleet and cannot even use solar energy.

Artillery and laser cannons that fire non-stop every day do not know how much ammunition and energy they consume. The people of the entire planet are gathered in several huge cities, living on government supplies.

The planet's easy-to-mine, large-scale veins were drained many years ago. Under the influence of the Tyranid spores, most of the land on the planet is no longer suitable for growing food.

The current resources on the Long River Star are constantly being consumed and cannot be replenished.

Although the resources stored on the entire planet are enough to support the use of the entire planet for a hundred years, no one knows whether these hive fleets will leave the White Deer System after a hundred years.

It may not be long before a second hive fleet arrives.

Therefore, even if the current situation of Changhe Star is stable for the time being and the resources are sufficient, it needs to be considered in the long run.

Obviously, the Long River Star, which is surrounded by layers of Tyranid biological ships, is only increasing in the number of Tyranid creatures on the entire planet. There is nothing else on the planet except for the constant Tyron airdrop bag being dropped.

If you want to get resources, you can only start with Tyranid creatures.

Is it hard?

The researchers of the empire said not at all.

Since the Tyranid creatures were able to become a starry race by devouring biomass, they could get everything they needed from biomass. So why can't the empire.

As long as Tyranid creatures do it, humans can't do it?

There is no such reason.

Through the study of Tyranid biological chitin, as well as godlike biotechnology, the Empire's scholars soon unraveled the mysteries of using organic materials to construct space structures.

The Empire can now reprocess excess organic matter into advanced resources suitable for space structures.

Whether it was a metallic mineral or a large amount of biomass, the metallurgical plants of the empire could process it into alloys.

It is not difficult to complete the industrial production of alloys with only some catalytic processing of biomass in a metallurgical plant.

When the Empire developed this technique, it was immediately passed on to other Imperial worlds. Instead of hiding as a treasure like the mechanical religion of the past.

After learning this technique, the scientists on the Long River Star immediately applied it to the alloy foundry built by the MCV.

Right now, on the battlefields above the Empire-controlled Tyron's hatching nests, where the war has ended, many of the Empire's Astral Troops and Sentinel Mechs are collecting the corpses of these Tyranid creatures, transporting them back to the base, and transforming them into alloys that can be used by the Empire.

After confirming the death of the Tyranids, the Astral Army carried the corpses of the small Tyranids onto the trailer.

Some of the bipedal sentries used plasma beams to cut large Tyranid creatures into pieces, while others used their own hydraulic claws to clamp down on Tyranid corpses and move them to nearby transport vehicles.

These bipedal sentry mechs move quickly across the battlefield, and they strike the perfect balance of mobility and stability.

They have a pair of articulated legs that allow them to maneuver through terrain where heavy battle tanks and armored vehicles can be restrained, as well as explosive travel in open terrain, and are equipped with advanced gyro stabilizers to improve their balance.

Whether it is those reconnaissance sentries or these engineering sentries, they are all very good mechas.

Pieces of biomass are placed into the vehicle by the sentry's hydraulic claws and boom, and the corrosive blood of the Tyranid creature makes a sizzling sound when it comes into contact with the vehicle's body.

However, these transport vehicles have been specially treated, and the corrosive bodily fluids of Tyranid creatures do not easily erode them into a large hole.

While the Astral Army and Sentinel Mechs were carrying the corpses of these Tyranid creatures, some of the vehicles drove up to the holes in the underground hatching nests.

The Astral Army on it got out of the car, opened the hatch behind it, and a group of Sgurgeqi rushed out and surrounded the Astral Legion.

These orcs' murderous pets are their right-hand men, capable of easily ripping a soldier's throat with their sharp teeth on the battlefield.

However, these Skoogs, who rushed down from the car, did not begin to tear apart the astral army surrounded by them, but affectionately tried to rub his palm with his own head.

"Go, go in and eat hard! Eat the contents and come back! ”

The Astral Army pointed his hand at the dark hole of the hatching nest and ordered the Sgroogs.

And after receiving the master's order, these Sgoogs instantly opened their two calves and happily ran to the hatching nest, ready to eat.

These scotts are another special kind of skoogs that the Empire's biologists have developed specially. It can be called a carnivorous scott, or a carnivorous scott.

And the reason why there are two such names is related to its function.

The Empire's created Scroog breed has a large crocodile mouth filled with sharp fangs, very similar to orcs' tusks, and can devour anything, and almost anything can be digested by this creature.

And its meat is very delicious, tender and juicy, compared to ant beef. If you ask a good chef to cook it, it must be a wonderful dish that smells enough to make your mouth swoon.

This is an excellent breed created by the Empire that combines the characteristics of various orc Sgurgs. The reason why this Sgurge was created was to provide more food options for the current people of the Empire on the Long River Star.

While the food stored by the planetary government can ensure that no one is starved to death, it is only not starved to death.

Since the government on the Long River Star can provide better living conditions for the people of the Empire, why not do it?

In addition to filling the stomach and replenishing energy, delicious, healthy and nutritious food will increase the happiness of the people of the empire and reduce the psychological stress of war. This is very important for the Long River.

Moreover, at the moment, the biomass of the White Deer Galaxy is limited.

If the subjects of the empire can eat a little more, then it means that the Tyranid creatures eat a little less.

Do you eat me? Then I'll eat you too!

Why not do this kind of thing to strengthen yourself and weaken the enemy?

Of course, although there are many creatures in the galaxy that have made their way into the human diet, even the Katachan Demon has Mengnan who dares to eat it, and it is said that it tastes like scorpion meat.

However, the Tyranid food is still a bit too much to challenge the limits of the human stomach's digestive function. There is also a possibility that if you take a bite, the teeth in your mouth will be corroded.

So, in the human-Tyrannical food chain, the Empire has added the creature of the carnivorous Sgouge.

Through special gene editing, the flesh-eating Scrooge has a high tolerance to acid, after all, his stomach contains the deadliest acid. Tyrannic's corrosive bodily fluids have little effect on it.

Moreover, this creature has been added by the Empire with some of the characteristics of the pet Scroog, which likes to usually chase after its owner, only obey the orders of its owner, and possess good obedience.

The Long River Star even specially selected a group of Astral Army as animal trainers to train these carnivorous Sgoogs to ensure that these carnivorous Sgoogs could clean up the corpses of Tyranns.

Don't leave Taryn with a single trace of biomass.

There was no food or clothing, and the enemy came forward. There are no guns, no cannons, the enemy makes us.

We grew up here, and every inch of land is our own.

Whoever wants to take it, we will fight him to the end.
