While the carnivorous Sgouge in the hatching nest were enjoying their food, the beast tamers of the Astral Army on the surface were not stupidly waiting for them.

After sending batches of carnivorous Scroog to Tyron's hatchery, the Scroog trainers re-mounted their vehicles.

Instead of helping the other Astral Armies on the battlefield clean up the battlefield and collect the corpses of Tyranid creatures, they headed in different directions and left the place.

The Scout Sentinels used their massive chainsaw swords to cut through the thick jungle and make way for their comrades in the rear. The efficiently running legs allow it to stroll quietly through the dense bushes.

The team at the back of the team is home to a number of Salamander Scout Tanks, equipped with automatic cannons and heavy blasters, which will give them the strength to fight against some of the small, out-of-control Tyranid swarms.

This staffing and vehicle composition is almost identical to that of the Empire's reconnaissance units.

However, in the previous battle, the Empire's forces had already inflicted heavy losses on the Tyranid swarm, and they had retreated farther away.

While there are still a few scattered Tyranid creatures scattered around, they pose little threat to the Imperial forces that are gathering resources above the hatchery.

After all, the industrial robotic arm can carry materials and can also pinch the heads of Tyranid creatures, and the weapons on the transport vehicles, although small in caliber and numerous, are not completely slaughtered, they can still crush the headless and brainless guys who run in front of them.

With such a large number of armored vehicles, if a small swarm were to attack, it would only allow the Imperial soldiers to carry more corpses.

So it is simply not worth sending so many people to scout with great difficulty.

However, if the swarm chooses to attack the transport vehicles that are fully loaded back to base, it will greatly slow down the Imperial forces, if not inflict significant damage on the Empire.

At present, most of the troops of the Astral Army Legion are deployed to the battle, and there is no spare strength to ensure the safety of transportation.

In this way, it makes sense to see Sentinel Mechs and Salamander Reconnaissance Tanks patrolling supply depots, command centers, and important lines of communication.

However, a reconnaissance team soon returned to the battlefield where the nest was hatched.

And behind the butt of their vehicle, there was one shivering snot after another.

These snot essences were one of the creatures that the Empire had put in before to clean up the Tyranid spores.

In the Hatching Nest, where Tyranid creatures and Tyranid buildings congregate, there are a large number of Tyrannic spores. Even the concentration of spores is so high that they can aggregate to form flocculent floats that pollute the air yellow.

Previously, due to the large number of Tyranid creatures entrenched around the hatching nest, these snot essences could not get close at all, so naturally they could not come here to clean up.

But now that the problem has been solved, the abominable swarm has been driven away.

As a result, the beast tamers in the Astral Army, who have a high level of knowledge of the creatures created by the empire, such as Scroog and the Snot Element, drove these timid Snot Spirits over and asked them to quickly clean up the Tyranid spores here.

As they devour too many Tyranid spores, they become lazy and lazy, eventually becoming a fungal aggregate.

These snot mushrooms are also edible, and can be used to make a meal with these snot and carnivorous sputnik when the Imperial troops leave.

Everyone was busy in this area of the hatchery, and there were too many Tyrann corpses to be transported.

It is impossible to get the empire to abandon this, after all, these biomass represent food, alloys, and electricity. The Long River Star needs these things to replenish its inventory.

However, in the midst of a busy scene, several companies looked out of place.

The rest of the troops were obviously constantly loading, unloading and transporting, but these teams were not like this.

It's not that the soldiers in these teams are lazy or anything, they are also very diligent in loading Tyron's corpse onto the transport.

The Trojan support vehicles around them were not only crammed inside, but also a series of trailers behind them, like a small train.

But the vehicles in their team never moved.

Other units are transporting vehicles that move with the personnel, but these companies are helping other units to carry them, and their own vehicles are stopped in place.

In one of the Salamander command vehicles, a company commander sat next to the communicator and waited for news.

True, in addition to being a front-line reconnaissance unit, the Salamander reconnaissance tank also has a model that is specifically designed for the officers of the command.

This model replaced the original automatic cannon with a heavy flamethrower, but it was rarely used in front-line combat, but instead served as a transportation vehicle for rear command to support personnel transportation and communications relay.

The open-top platform of the vehicle body is equipped with long-distance sound array communication equipment to maintain communication between the company commander and his own company, regimental headquarters and other company commanders, and each vehicle is equipped with a sound array communicator to assist the company commander in command work.

"Zizi... Company Commander, we've found the Taryn digester. ”

In the tank, which was used as the headquarters of the company, a message from the soldiers came over the communicator.

"Roger, go!"

After waiting for a long time, the company commander immediately changed the channel to the whole company, ordered all the soldiers to return to the vehicle, and then headed for the location marked on the hologram.

The Astral Army was well-trained and quickly assembled. Then drive the vehicle towards the location pointed out by your teammates......

"Hula."

A hatch opened, exposing the company commander to the night, and outside the window was a hot and dusty wind. Tracked loading vehicles are on their berths. The air is filled with unpleasant smells.

On the other side, tanker trucks were waiting in the loading area, the door of the cab was opened, and the driver and operator jumped out of the car.

Then they unscrewed the tubing of the tanker, activated the pumping unit, and put the nozzle into the Tylen digester in front of them.

When a planet is invaded by the Tyranid Hive fleet, the terrifying Tyranid monsters devour everything in their path. That's exactly what they're here for.

Before coming to the galaxy, they don't know how many planets and how many races they have devoured, and even in the galaxy, there are not a few planets that have been eaten and wiped clean by Tyranid creatures.

But just as most of the Empire's warships can't land on planets, Tyran's creatures can't land on planets. Because the gravity of the planet itself can make large structures of several kilometers, tens of kilometers unbearable.

However, this does not affect Tyron's dry rice. Taryn has a wealth of experience in how an entire planet can be turned into his own plate and served delicious food to himself.

First of all, there is a Tyranid invasion, and there is a definite process from the sea of worms to digestion.

The first step is the assessment and infiltration of the prey planet, at which point there will be a spore airdrop sac to deliver pioneer creatures like Gene Stealer and Licater to the planet.

Once these creatures are active, they will spy on the planet's defenses and assess their resistance. Next, a sea of worms, from the smallest ripper to the massive bio-titans, swoops down and overwhelms the planetary defenders. This is where we move on to the next stage.

However, the Empire's defenses are perfectly done, and all of the responses to Tyron are clearly written in the Empire's "Imperial Tactics".

The Empire's anti-aircraft fire nets, biotechnology detection, and psionic identification made it almost impossible for Tyren to penetrate human society. And those sea of worms were reduced to nothing by the relentless artillery strikes of the Empire.

It can be said that the current plan of Tylen to devour the Long River Star is stuck at this stage and cannot be carried out.

And if Taryn's plan goes well, that is, after the main resistance of the planet is defeated, Tyron will start to eat.

The Tyranid biota began to grow and develop during the second phase of the invasion. Capillary towers have sprung up on the surface of the planet, and they are getting higher and higher, and at the same time, spore sacs have also grown, mass-producing special-shaped spores and polluting the native atmosphere.

And these are just the preludes to the final devouring of the planet by the Tyranid creatures.

During these "cooking" processes, the planet's atmosphere is modified, and all the genetic material is sent to the digester to be decomposed.

Finally, the biomass in these pools was absorbed by the insect ships and added to the fleet's large gene bank, becoming the raw materials for the creation of the next wave of Tyranid creatures.

This is usually all the process by which Tyranid beings devour a planet.

And through these processes, it will be possible to understand why the Long River Star has been able to hold out for so long while surrounded by Tyranid biological warships.

The sporangium drop was intercepted by the Empire's anti-aircraft fire, the growth of living organisms was hailed by the Empire's missiles, and the Sea of Worms tactics were covered by the Empire's artillery.

I'm sorry, but with strong firepower, you can do whatever you want.

And from the process of these Tyrannics devouring the planets, we can also find that the capillary towers, spore sacs, hatching nests, digesters and those Tyrannical plants are all closely related to the Tyrannics devouring planets. Plays an important role when the Hive Will sets out to take away all the biomass and eat a planet.

At the moment, no one understands the full function of the capillary tower.

But where they grow, recycling pools appear. The capillary tower is then connected to the hive mothership's feeding pipes in the lower orbits, which pump up the biomass and distribute it to the waiting biowarships.

The heteromorphic spores emitted by the spore sacs don't just pollute the atmosphere, they can quickly alter the local biota. Native plants are replaced by highly aggressive heteromorphic plants.

As digestion sped up, the sky darkened and the planet's temperature began to rise.

The surface is quickly transformed into a greenhouse environment, further speeding up the digestion process and providing sufficient conditions for the next stage of digestion.

Within a few days, the ripping swarm will eat a large amount of the plant and add it to the digester until all the biomass has been dissolved and waiting to be collected.

The purpose of the Tyranid digester is to boil animals that have been killed, as well as Tyranid creatures that have reached the end of their lifespan, are injured or died.

The mixture of enzymes, acids, viruses, and catalysts that exist in this deadly swamp is capable of destroying almost any known material, so be treated with caution.

It was usually formed in the early days of the Tyranid invasion, in natural depressions between local waters.

When the harvesting process begins to grow exponentially during the Tyranid invasion, as all the mechanisms are integrated and functional, they will not be able to accommodate the sheer amount of harvested matter.

At this point we can see that the capillary column is forming to extract the material from the pool in a constant amount.

However, all of the capillary towers were destroyed by the Empire's missiles, and Tylen couldn't eat a bite.

As a result, the Tyranid built numerous hatching nests on the Long River Star, and the biomass collected was used by the hatching nests to generate more Zerg soldiers.

This also means that usually around a hatchery nest, there must be some Tyrannic's digesters.

And the result was just as the Imperial scholars had expected.

"Pump, give me a hard pump!"

Next to a digester, the company commander commanded his soldiers to pump the green liquid from the digester into a tanker.

Its expression is similar to that of a country during the Terra 3K period when some black liquid was discovered.

However, these green liquids are much more valuable than black liquids. In order to transport these liquids, these tankers are all specially built and consume a lot of resources.

And in these digesters, there were originally some amorphous protoplasmic organisms of special size.

These creatures are the only ones that can move in the digester, and even in the entire Tyranid, they are resistant to the effects of the chemicals in the tank for a long time.

They will carry fat or injured Tyranid creatures into the pool, as well as any large creatures that die nearby, and will also eject the matter in the pool to attack any non-Tyranid creatures who venture too close. And they also seem to be the guardians of the fragile digester system.

But the Empire is not an ambassador for conservation, nor does it have the idea of sustainable development.

In addition to collecting some of the creatures for future research, he burned the rest of the fire.

Then the Empire's powerful pumps got to work, sucking all the biomass that Tyranns had collected into the tanker trucks.

The engine of the tanker truck is still roaring. The fuel tube twitched incessantly, and the liquid biomass flowed from the tank into the tank. Seeing that the capacity of the tanker truck was about to reach its limit, the operator immediately rushed to the valve and closed it.

Next to the digester, these Tyrannic "juicies" were pulled away by truckloads of tankers.

Above the hatching nest, the Astral Army carried the corpses of the Tyranid creatures and pulled them away in a cart.

In the hatching nest, the flesh-eating Sgurg devours the flesh and tissue of the Tyranid creatures.

Hehe, we imperial people, eat, drink, and don't fall behind.

------------

Taryn: That's our corpse!

Imperial: I thought, this is sitting on the ground, and no one wants it... I'll take it home and light the fire and feed it to Sgurge.

Taryn: That's our digester!

Imperial: I'm thinking, this water is all green, how polluting the environment is... I'll just pump it clean.
