Chapter 25: National Day
The purple-black thick stems extend on the surface of the lake, and the colonies attached to them become thicker and thicker.
This colony can secrete a fibrous structure that forms a reticulated platform on which construction can be carried out.
At this point, the mesh platform used to build the nest has been successfully constructed, and the core part of the nest nucleus has begun to work, forming a large white cocoon.
The process was similar to when Chen Feng was in his own main nest, the nest nucleus inside the giant cocoon began to undergo metamorphosis, and countless flesh buds drilled out of its body, forming new tissues.
After the cocoon is broken, the main part of the nest begins to gradually form.
The nest formed this time is different from the main nest, probably because it is built on water, and it is not that large.
Its main structure covers an area of only about 3 to 4 acres, but the height is very high, more than 200 meters, and it looks like a meat pillar from a distance.
Next to the flesh pillars of the main body, there are several other flesh columns scattered together, which are shorter in height than the columns of the main body, and are communicated with the main body by a pipe structure.
If the main nest of the scourge is like the Great Khan's Tent of Mongolia, then this nest is like the Gothic castle of medieval Europe.
The nest of this structure not only ensures space, but also ensures that the floor space is kept as small as possible, so that only a few stems and tubes are needed to support the entire nest.
In addition, the network of colonies formed by the stems does not completely cover the water surface, ensuring that the light below the lake water does not die due to lack of light.
Because this nest is open on the water, the construction speed is much slower than the main nest, and a whole day passes, and it is not until late at night that the nest is fully constructed.
The people of the Homo sapiens tribe were terrified, and they felt that the sky was about to fall when they saw this monster rising from the ground in front of them, and many of them had already begun to discuss moving.
And the leader of the Homo sapiens tribe, listening to the discussion of the clansmen with a pale face at this time, secretly clenched his fists.
The moment the nest was constructed, Chen Feng immediately consumed spiritual energy and expanded the land, incorporating the entire lake surface of the Blue Star Eye into the territory.
Since then, all three plots of land in the Eye of the Blue Star have been acquired, and in addition to the main nest, the other two plots have also been built into spore farms.
The fixed output of the Blue Star Eye tile is 10 food resources, the Scourge power bonus is doubled, and the food +2 effect of the two spore farms jumps to 64 points in the entire nest.
With only three plots of land, the food resources produced are more than 6 plots of land in the main nest, how outrageous!
There are also 9 food bonus plots around these three plots, and when these plots are fully expanded, the food resources can support the entire natural disaster force.
The only problem is that the plots around the Blue Star Eye are all jungle plots.
Jungle tiles will force the resource output of the tiles to reset to "Food +2", and after expanding the land on the Jungle tiles, infrastructure cannot be developed.
In general, plains, grasslands, and hilly landforms, the total resource output is 3 points. The jungle only has 2 points of food, and it is a loss of 1 point.
What's more, not being able to develop infrastructure is a hard flaw.
Fortunately, jungle plots can be cleared.
The second row of the Scourge Corps has a technology [Colonial Vanguard], which is effective in clearing jungles and swamps. After it is cleared, the original plot is the landform, and the output is on par with the landform.
If it's plain, it produces 2 food and 1 mineral, and if it's hills, it produces 3 minerals. And so on.
It's just that the pre-technology of this technology is the [Workshop Cavity], and if you want to clear the jungle, you have to save research points.
In addition, Chen Feng also noticed the commotion of the Homo sapiens tribe.
It's not that he doesn't want to touch them, it's just that, compared to this tribe of Homo sapiens, his current strength is as strong as a god.
There was no need to exert force at all, and the Homo sapiens tribe would have to fall all.
Because it was too easy to destroy them, he was not in a hurry.
He was pondering how to get the most out of them.
In the game "The End of Civilization", there is also a setting about the forces of natural disasters. Between human civilization and the Scourge Corps, in addition to war and peace, there is also a third option: subordination.
Human civilization can belong to the Natural Disaster Corps, become a "puppet army", and be the leading party of the Natural Disaster Corps.
The goal of the Scourge Corps is to exterminate all mankind and occupy the entire earth, and of course it is not good to be the leading party. When the resistance is all gone, the first thing to do in retrospective is you to lead the way.
So players choose this option, except for those who dream of "saving the ball with curves", just to hold on to it first, develop it and then reverse it.
But regardless of the motives, other factions can diplomacy with the Scourge forces, although there is only one option for this diplomacy: subordination.
After becoming a subordinate, human civilization has two obligations to the Scourge Corps, one is to be cannon fodder, and the other is to pay tribute.
Needless to say, when cannon fodder, few players are willing to die seriously, there are several options for tribute, you can pay tribute to special items, research points, dominance points, and war points.
Because human beings use resources in different ways, they can't directly pay tribute to output, but they can pay tribute points.
Chen Feng is not short of output now, what he lacks is points, especially research points, which are not enough.
Destroy this human tribe, at most bring some war points or special items, how can they give them some incense for research?
Therefore, facing those Homo sapiens who were probing their brains in the jungle, a slightly perverted idea gradually formed in Chen Feng's brain.
……
The new nest was built, and Chen Feng felt that something should be done to celebrate this moment.
It has been more than half a month since I came to this world, and in this more than half a month, from nothing, to the construction of the main nest, to the opening of the branch nest, there are many happy things during the period, but more of it is still lonely.
Because he hadn't calculated the dimension he was in now, whether it was the southern hemisphere or the northern hemisphere, he didn't even know what year and month it was, none of the previous festivals had happened, and there were still long years waiting for him to trek in the future.
So from today onwards, he wants to leave some time to come.
At dawn, he summoned all of his men, including Black Mountain and Amethyst, to the main nest. In addition to his subordinates, there were also those civilians who had natural disasters, and they all sat quietly on the fungus carpet and listened to his lectures.
"From today onwards, every year on this day, it is 'National Day'." Chen Feng announced.
After hearing this, those natural disaster civilians were still waiting for the next sentence with blank faces, and they were silent for a long time before they realized that the Lord had finished speaking.
Amethyst asked, "Juggernaut, what is 'country'?" ”
Montenegro asked, "Juggernaut, what is a 'year'?" ”
…… After a moment of silence, a pawdog chirped loudly beside it.
Chen Feng coughed lightly, he suddenly thought just now that he was originally the master of natural disasters, if there was a natural disaster country, then this country had already been established thousands of years ago, let alone a country.
If it is not this country, then how can there be a country within a country?
However, he still forcibly broke it back, anyway, these calamity messengers don't know anything, and all definitions are up to them.
"On this planet, in this sphere of influence, it is its own country. As for 'years', one orbit of the planet around the star is a year. ”
Amethyst and Montenegro were at a loss when they heard this.
Amethyst asked, "So what do we have to do on the occasion of 'National Day'?" ”
They don't have the concept of a festival, and they think that this so-called National Day has a special mission and task.
