After a cursory cleanup of the battlefield in the Tyranid system, the fleet returned to the Kata Colony in the Fourth Sector without incident.

It didn't take long for the Valkyrie gunboat to land in the newly built airfield, and as the hatch slowly opened, two familiar figures walked out of it.

Looking at Gu Fan who walked out of the cabin, Lilim looked very excited, since she received the news that the two were going back, she had been waiting here early.

"Welcome back, Lady Gods!"

As she spoke, the girl with cat ears waved her right hand vigorously, trying to attract the attention of the two people not far away, and the tail of the cat tied with a bow behind her was also shaking excitedly.

Soon, like a kitten, Lilim ran to Gu Fan's side with a cheerful pace, if it weren't for the respect for the gods in his heart, the little guy would have been eager to jump directly into the other party's arms.

Looking at the other party's excited appearance, Gu Fan naturally knew the reason for this, only to see him smile and rub Lilim's head, then raised his hand and pointed to another transport ship that was landing.

It contained the aether dragon meat that the other had been dreaming about for years, and she looked like she couldn't wait to try what it could do.

"I've brought you back what you want."

"Meow!"

Hearing this, Lilim shouted happily, and the meow sound made Gu Fan feel somewhat surprised.

Could this be the legendary joy of returning to the ancestors?

Seeing Lilim jumping up and running towards the spaceship carrying dragon meat, Gu Fan immediately moved his gaze to the base that was still under construction in the distance.

But before he could see the difference between this place and before he set off, he only heard Xue Feng complain with some emotion.

"It turns out that you are so excited that you will faint?"

Kindness? Faint? Who?

Xue Feng's words made Gu Fan a little confused, but when he looked at it, he was surprised to find that Lilim had actually fallen in front of the open hatch, and even the tail behind him was already straight, like an antenna, which seemed to be greatly stimulated.

"Grass?"

And when Gu Fan and Xue Feng hurried over, they were just 100 meters away from the spaceship, and a strong stench that was soul-stirring instantly attacked them.

This smell was far better than anything Gu Fan could imagine, and even the snow wind on the side couldn't help but cover his nose to prevent his olfactory sensor from being overloaded because of this.

If nothing else, it should be the fermentation of the dragon meat in the cargo hold, after all, the Queen of Glory is not a special meat refrigerated truck, although there are also so-called kitchens and fresh storage rooms on the ship, but the space there is not large, and it has been used by Gu Fan to store some kind of special goods.

......

......

I don't know how long it took, but after dealing with the troubles on Lilim's side, Gu Fan handed over the teeth of the aether dragon and those special carapaces that he brought back from the outside to Machado's scientific research team.

He still remembered that the dragon had been able to withstand multiple salvos from the cannon with its black bio-armor alone, and in a way the strength of the material was comparable to the Pure Gold armor used by the Queen of Glory.

If it can be analyzed and used, it will definitely be able to provide a lot of help for the future fleet upgrade, and at the same time, Gu Fan also sent a brain taken from the mothership of the hive into the research room, along with many corpses of insects and various parts that may be useful.

And these are the special goods that Gu Fan stored in the kitchen, and the purpose of this is to be able to understand these enemies that he has never heard of more quickly.

Now, with continued development, the old colony in the middle of the jungle is very different from what it first seems, and it was originally a scientific research colony established as a biological research institution.

Now, with the addition of more functional buildings, the base can now function as a front-line supply point.

[Four side-by-side, ground-level auto-docks capable of producing small vessels such as the Viper-class.] 】

[Five assembly factories with different functions are now being produced at full efficiency, and a large number of synths and engineering servants equipped with basic AI are constantly filling the hunger and thirst of this nascent empire.] 】

Looking at the data summary provided by the 114514 consultant AI in his hand, Gu Fan asked thoughtfully as he stared at the contents.

"What is the population of the base right now?"

"To answer you, Kata 2 currently manages 5,713 basic synths, 13,556 engineering servants, 20 Normans, and 1 cat-people."

"Most of the above population has been dispatched to participate in Mr. Makado's Resource Star 4 construction project."

Although the entire Fourth Star Sector is a wild area that is inhabitable to life, it is a paradise for synthetic human-robot servants who don't need to survive at all.

For example, Resource Star 4 is located in the middle industrial zone, a planet rich in alloys and basic mineral reserves.

In the past period of time, Gu Fan found that what he really lacked was not those rare resources, but these most basic existences, and their consumption was too huge.

At this moment, the servants are building a planet-level mining base on Star Four under the supervision of Makado, hoping to truly fill the huge gap in mineral resources.

However, building that huge mining station also required a lot of ore, which couldn't help but make Gu Fan think of the famous paradox.

If you need ore, you can mine it, but the hoe for mining also needs ore.

After thinking for a while, since there was really no good solution, Gu Fan finally decided to look for foreign aid.

After returning to the command room of the base, through the communication code obtained earlier, Gu Fan contacted the merchant organization known as the Ram Chamber of Commerce.

As the communication was successfully connected, there were initially several impatient squeaks coming from inside.

Obviously, the rats on the other end didn't notice that Gu Fan had already connected to their communication system

"Squeak! Price! Idiot! I said you should sell it at least 450% or more! The higher, the better! We're not philanthropists! ”

"You only mentioned 448%? Are they in a hurry to save their lives? But we're also in a hurry to make money! That's a full 2% profit! I wonder how you are willing to give it! ”

Listening to the profiteer's remarks on the other end of the communication, Gu Fan only felt relatively speechless.

At this moment, someone seemed to have discovered something on the other end.

"Boss Ramkey, why is this indicator light flashing?"

"Which idiot is this guy who didn't even say hello and got on the com?"

For a moment, I only heard Gu Fan say quite calmly.

"Don't come unharmed, Mr. Ramch, doesn't that sound like you're bothering you?"

In an instant, the originally noisy channel suddenly became dead silent.

It took a long time before I heard a trembling voice shout three times.

"I'm stupid! I'm stupid! I'm stupid! ”

That collapsed tone sounded worse than crying.

It was like a great fright......
