C343 – Space Base

Not to mention the long term replenishment, even if it was the current 100,000 small beetle, it was still not something these 200 soldiers could kill.

Furthermore, the Sickle Insect were also breeding. Although Lo Ya had invested a total of 1,000 Sickle Insect on this planet, and had lost over 20 of them in succession, the overall production speed was a little faster.

Most of the battles were carried out with low-cost small beetle and Explosive Beetle. This meant that the total combat strength of the A6-3 bugs was increasing.

This was also Lo Ya’s current strategy. She would try her best to let the worthless small beetle fight a war of attrition with the enemy. She would buy time for the main force to replicate and reproduce. As long as the main force of the insect swarm was increasing, the overall strength of the Insect Girl Clan would increase.

The exploration team that entered the ground was quickly dragged into a high-intensity battle. As the number of beetles increased, various sneak attacks and explosions forced the warriors that were one kilometer deep into the ground to retreat midway.

According to the data collected from the battle, the number of insects on this planet was estimated to exceed three million. And the overall combat strength of the small beetle was much weaker compared to the combined high-tech soldiers.

This made him give up on the idea of continuing his exploration. He was prepared to go back and tell the news to the other partners to explore this planet together.

Yes, he was not an official spaceship, but a private interstellar exploration spaceship. In order to reduce the exploration and development costs of the planet, the government purchased spaceships from private companies that were wealthy enough to explore the planet. And this 300m long ship, in a civilian ship, was also one of the more advanced ones. Not only was it equipped with all kinds of weapons, but it could also colonize planets. It also had all kinds of cosmic detection tools.

Lo Ya also discovered that the electromagnetic rifle’s range could usually reach 3 kilometers. Its power and initial speed far exceeded traditional rifles, and it consumed a lot of power. The reason why everyone liked to use such weapons in the interstellar era was mainly because they were powerful. And compared to other kinetic weapons, this type of gun that relied on electricity would have a very low cost. It could be said that it was economical and easy to use.

Most of these soldiers’ exoskeleton armors had generators and advanced battery parts. There were even miniature fusion reactors, a super-advanced technology that was difficult to kill for countless scientists.

In short, Lo Ya had never seen a civilization with such a high level of technology, just like the future robots in science fiction movies. The spaceship also had a handsome appearance that only existed in fantasy. That’s not right. The frigate Bug became a monster in the darkness. Not only did it not have a gorgeous streamlined appearance, it was more like some kind of indescribable creature that drifted in the universe.

After a total of six hours of battle, the exploration team all retreated back into the fighter aircraft. One of the planes was besieged by a few Sickle Insect during the process and was unable to take off due to an accident. Ten of the pilots were forced into battle. They held on for less than three minutes. They were completely killed by the insects that surrounded them from all directions.

After returning to the battleship, the captain ordered the ship to leave in order to reduce their losses.

Lo Ya knew that her main fleet was still very far from here and could not interfere with this galaxy, so she endured it and did not stop them.

Moreover, even if they stopped them, her side might not be able to beat them.

“Prepare to mobilize troops. These guys are invaders.”

After all, it was a galaxy that she had taken a liking to. Moreover, the energy conversion rate of the ore was much higher than many worthless planets. Lo Ya decided to try and fight for it.

After all, the Mother Star was 60 light years away from the A6. There were at least two galaxies along the way that were building powerful defensive lines. Not only did they build mobile turrets near the planets, but they also set up bases that could fight between the galaxies.

Just like modern warfare aircraft carrier strike mode, Lo Ya also tried to build a “insect” platform between the galaxies. It was also a moving base that had the ability to slow and guide the ship. They often needed to be built for a long time. It had an astonishing load capacity. It could stop the frigate and also allow many insects to live. When they encountered external enemies or wars, they would ensure that they had powerful combat strength and the ability to send troops over.

It was also the planned space port. Usually, near the meteorite belt, it would be built with the nearest resources. After completing it, one could go to the areas with weak defense and be used as a space base and aircraft carrier for external battles.

This was the type of space port that they had envisioned. Their battle thinking was not lagging behind, even though it had lasted since the age of the ocean. But the starry sky is an enlarged version of the three-dimensional ocean, the void is vast… There are many areas that have hidden dangers. What Lo Ya did could not only reduce the hidden dangers. It’s also preparation for the evolution of larger insect ships in the future.

In actual fact, for the fight for the A6-3, Lo Ya had already built three airbases at the border of the C5 Star System at the same time in the meteorite belt near the C5 Star System.

The main structure of the entire base was still the insect shell. Its high hardness and low quality could make the base safer and obtain a larger volume.

Other than that, she also needed to build a nuclear missile launcher and spend a lot of time and resources to build a large caliber one. The Electromagnetic Cannon’s initial speed was exaggerated. As for energy weapons, considering the cost, they only set up a small amount of Plasma Cannon.

The biggest use of the base was not defense, but flying and maintenance spaceships. There were large amounts of Light Plate Insect, Nourishing Insect, and Slime stored inside, which could provide support and treatment to the ships that were defeated and injured.

These three bases had preliminary combat and sailing abilities, and it was estimated that it would take another half a year. Lo Ya was not in a hurry, but looked towards the vicinity of the B4 Star System, which was the place where she found the Tiss Civilization previously.

Compared to the invasion civilization that they had encountered in the A6 Galaxy, the Tiss Civilization was much behind. The former made Lo Ya feel that it was extremely difficult to deal with, while the latter’s strongest was probably only on par with the Insect Girl Clan.

After being frightened by Insect Girl’s group, the Tiss Civilization had already left. Until now, there was still no relevant news. The journey between the galaxies was a few months, or even a few years. In the following period of time, B4 would probably be safe.

But Lo Ya did not intend to explore in the direction of B4, because once it was explored, It would mean that she had come into contact with the Tiss Civilization prematurely, allowing her to enter a two-way combat mode. No matter how powerful the insects were, Lo Ya didn’t dare to take this risk too early.

“The three frigate Bugs are rushing to the area around A6-3. The airports near the C5 Galaxy are tentatively set to be two square kilometers of platforms. The thickness is 300 meters, and the construction of the base is currently underway. Thirty thousand Light Plate Insect will be installed near the C5 star to provide energy for the base. After the accumulation of the Energy Charging Crystal, it will be transported back and forth by a transport ship.”

In just a short two months, the results were beginning to show. The Cerebrate Bacteria reported the situation here to Lo Ya.

“Well done. Since the enemy hasn’t arrived yet, let’s hurry up and start the construction.” Lo Ya was very satisfied.

Due to the construction of the spaceport, many excellent gene combinations had been verified. Perhaps they could welcome a new wave of small evolutions very soon.
