Since the discovery of the first interstellar continent ore, the exploration fleet of the mechanical army has made a series of gains one after another. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Resource Stars, Nebula Land...... The abundance of resources here is many times better than that of the Chaos Lord.

Although most of these deposits are mainly low-rank minerals such as common metals, mythril, purple gold, and deep-sea ice crystals, no high-level minerals of interstellar pure gold and above have been found so far.

However, Zhang Feng is becoming more and more confident.

He also deduced that the distance of 100 billion light years from the wild wormhole to here was not a barren area in the first place, and it must have suffered some kind of catastrophe to become like that.

Zhang Feng even suspected that it was simply devoured by a group of starry sky beasts.

Of course, his theory would not be confirmed until a large number of starry sky monsters were found—and Zhang Feng did not want to be confirmed either.

A small hourly sky giant beast has already made the entire mechanical army helpless, and in the end, it is still relying on the gods to let go and kill the opponent, in case a group of starry sky monsters come again, the mechanical army can only turn around and run.

Zhang Feng had no choice but to give up the plan to develop this place and hide back in the realm of chaos.

...... The space was distorted, and the figure of a fleet slowly emerged from the virtual to the real.

This is the exploration fleet of the Mechanical Empire, with more than 10 million standard warships, with a simple-class single-core base city as the core, surrounded by countless supreme warships, and with auxiliary forces such as domain blockade platforms, interstellar exploration spaceships, and Atlantis wormholes.

Soon, the fleet found the target.

Less than a fraction of a light-year ahead, a huge piece of interstellar continent ore floated in the air.

The interstellar exploration spacecraft was the first to set off, and in a short time, the signal of the discovery of metal minerals was transmitted.

The fleet did not hesitate to follow.

Battleships floated over the interstellar continent, and countless small black balls like raindrops were thrown down.

At the moment of landing, these small black balls changed mechanically one after another, turning into huge mineral engineering vehicles.

There are also some that directly turn into Atlantis wormholes.

The Mineral Engineering Vehicle excavates minerals and transports them back to the Dragon Mound through the Atlantis wormhole for the base's production, which is the standard mode for mining minerals in the Machine Empire.

However, just as these mineral engineering vehicles landed one after another, the upheaval occurred.

Buzz - as if it was the sound of locusts flying in the sky, the surface of this continent's mineral deposits, the surface of the continent that spread for several light years, suddenly floated a layer of small black dots, densely packed, filling the entire space.

In an instant, all the Mineral Engineering Vehicles and the Atlantis wormhole had been devoured.

These little black dots swept up and headed towards the fleet in the sky.

The fleet's light brain reacted so quickly that it naturally opened fire immediately.

Zizi Zizi - a thick laser pillar shoots out.

Boom Boom - Where the laser pillar is attacked, only a layer of small black dots has turned into powder, and the energy has already been consumed.

These small black dots were extremely fast, and they had already swept up before the fleet could launch a second attack.

Like a marching ant crawling over a carnivore, the fleet was devoured in an instant.

The last picture transmitted back by the light brain was to see small black dots crawling all over the battleship, opening their mouths, constantly gnawing and devouring.

Depending on the volume of the star core, the energy shield of the abbreviation-level single-core base city can be hundreds of kilometers, thousands of kilometers, or even tens of thousands of kilometers thick.

And those small black dots quickly crawled all over the energy shield, densely packed, layer upon layer. As if they were devouring metal, they opened their mouths and quickly devoured the power shield.

Even some small black dots are like insects biting apples, biting a hole directly from the energy shield and burrowing into it to deal with the battleship.

Soon, the main base brought back the news of the complete destruction of the fleet.

Zhang Feng enlarged the picture in front of him, and saw that the small black dots were actually several meters long. It's just that, in the universe, this length is about the same as a small black dot.

They all have bee-like wings, and their bodies are featureless, except for a pair of large mouths and wide teeth, which are very sharp at first glance.

Moreover, the hard body is dark and shiny, although it cannot completely ignore the attack of the laser cannon, it can greatly consume the energy of the cannon fire and fight for the chance of survival for his companions.

Gold Eater!

It turned out to be a gold eater!

Zhang Feng recognized this insect at once, and couldn't help but be surprised and delighted.

Surprisingly, this kind of gold devouring insect is huge in number, and its defense is perverted, which is extremely difficult to deal with.

Happily, the Gold Eater is a companion race of the Golden-Horned Behemoth.

Where there are golden-horned behemoths, there are not necessarily gold-eating insects, but where there are gold-eating insects, there must be golden-horned behemoths.

And the favorite food of the golden-horned giant beast is interstellar pure gold.

After struggling for so long, he finally saw the shadow of interstellar fine gold, not to mention the excitement in Zhang Feng's heart!

It's just that the gold eater is really difficult to deal with.

The interstellar mineral continent discovered by the mechanical fleet was actually covered with such terrifying things on the surface - or rather, the continent itself was simply made up of such bugs!

As long as he thought of this, Zhang Feng's scalp was a little numb.

The most important point is that dealing with the Gold Eater Worm cannot be achieved by relying on the tactics of the sea of soldiers.

For example, in the battle just now, the gold devouring insects that were eliminated by more than 10 million warships had already multiplied in large numbers after the opponent devoured these warships.

In other words, after a battle, the number of gold devouring insects not only did not decrease, but increased.

Zhang Feng had no doubt that if he sent a large number of fleets to fight against each other without using his brains, the result would be a great loss of vitality in the mechanical fleet, or it would be completely destroyed, and the number of gold devouring insects would swell.

The way to deal with the Gold Devouring Worm is to be like dealing with the Zerg, only to win and not to lose, and, while fighting, send auxiliary troops to clean up the battlefield in the back and not give them a chance to devour.

There is also a problem, that is, the gold devouring insects do not devour anything, not only metal, but even the energy shield is also devoured, once they are allowed to come closer, it will be destroyed.

In addition to the self-detonating battleship, there is also a powerful and sharp class that can block the gold devouring worm - the Starry Sky Enchantment Linker.

The gold devouring insect does not devour anything, but it cannot devour space. The Starry Sky Enchantment Link is a barrier that creates an enchantment and traps enemies in one space.

Moreover, it is only fitting to use the enchantment to deal with an enemy as small and large in number as the Gold Devourer.

The dragon mound was in full swing, and batches of self-detonating battleships and starry sky enchantment linkers were produced and immediately mobilized to the battlefield ahead.

...... While the mechanical army was actively preparing for war against the Gold Eaters, a fleet nearly 10,000 light-years away encountered a flock of fire ravens.

Fire Raven, an elemental creature.

Their existence is formed by the aggregation of fire elements.

Just as the Gold Eater is a companion race of the Golden-Horned Behemoth, the Fire Raven is a companion race of the Fire Raven Behemoth, and they generally surround the outer area of the Fire Raven Behemoth.

Both the Fire Raven Behemoth and the Fire Raven are very hateful creatures. Because they feed on the stars, they eat up the energy of the stars everywhere they go before heading in the next direction.

There are some lower civilizations, because they are powerless to fight against the fire raven behemoths, and they are unable to immigrate in space, so they can only watch the fire crow behemoths devour the stars that bring light and heat to their planet, and then the entire race will fall into the darkness and cold and fall into extinction.

Powerful higher civilizations, after encountering fire crow giant beasts, will take the means of extermination. Only in this way can we avoid more stars being swallowed up and give the universe more places for life.

Although the fire crow is hateful, in terms of combat effectiveness, it is inferior to the gold devouring insect.

More than 10 million warships, after destroying a large number of fire crows, finally declared defeat under the opponent's "sea of crows tactics", and all of them were burned to ashes by the flames.

...... The discovery of one branch of the law giant beast made Zhang Feng feel a lot of pressure in his heart.

Although the Machine Empire has the inheritance of the Atlantean civilization, it is currently only a fifth-level civilization.

And in this cosmic space, it is obviously the nest of law giant beasts. At present, the space-time giant beast, the fire crow giant beast, and the golden horn giant beast have been discovered, who knows if there will be other law giant beasts?

Almost without thinking, Zhang Feng temporarily gave up the encirclement and suppression of the fire crow group, and instead concentrated his forces to deal with the gold devouring insects.

Here, it is most likely to have the most scarce interstellar sperm deposits in the Machine Empire.

Once the Gold Eater is defeated, if you can find a star Adamantite Mine to mine before you can alarm the Golden Horn Behemoth, then the Machine Empire will be considered a great victory!

Three months of intensive preparation, under the effect of 100 times the speed of time, decades have passed in the dragon mound.

Nearly 200,000 sub-bases are in full production, and 200 million self-exploding warships and starry sky enchantment linkers are produced every day in Dragon Tomb Time.

In the past few decades, the number of two major arms produced is almost incalculable.

A huge group of self-detonating warships, at the forefront of the battle line.

Behind the group of self-exploding battleships were a series of Abbreviation-class single-core base city warships, as well as a large number of Supreme warships.

In addition, there are countless areas to assist in operations, such as blockade platforms, etc., to assist in operations.

The Starry Sky Enchantment Link is hidden in the group of warships. It doesn't matter where they're located, as long as it's safe. Super spatial mastery ability allows them to rush to any place they need on the battlefield in the shortest possible time.

As the mechanical fleet got closer, they found clusters of gold-devouring insects flying around in the starry sky in the distance.

Obviously, the last time the mechanical fleet had completely activated these gold devouring insects, putting them in a state of excitement, which caused great trouble to the sealing work of the Starry Sky Enchantment Linker.

Feeling the breath of the fleet, the first wave of gold devouring insects that were closest immediately vibrated their wings and flew over.

Whoosh Whoosh -- Self-exploding battleships are the first to catch up. The self-detonating battleship is also a class of troops known for its speed, and in an instant, it has already rushed into the swarm.

The gold-eating insects immediately pounced on them as if they had found something delicious.
