While Jericho sat on the cold cliff platform and cried bitterly, Xue Hua was happily watching the worker bees from inside the mountain continue to expand the newly dug cave.
That mineral deposit has been discovered.
It is a medium-sized mineral vein with fairly good reserves.
However, this was no longer enough to impress Xue Hua, because while widening the cave, the worker bees discovered several mineral veins inside the mountain. These veins were large and small, mostly amethyst mines, and there were also other types of mineral deposits.
, but without exception, all have psionic disturbances that can be converted into resources by Leviathan.
And this is not what excites Xue Hua the most.
According to Isa's detection, in this small mountain range alone, there are at least dozens of various ores capable of being disturbed by psionic energy, and the number of ore veins has reached an incredible level. She believes that as long as the insect swarm can completely
Exploiting the value of this mountain range and destroying hell is as easy as flipping ashes.
Isa's words almost gave Xue Hua a happy heart attack. He almost rushed to the rock wall to kiss the exposed amethyst ores.
However, one has to eat one bite at a time, and one thing has to be done one by one. Although this mountain range has become Xue Hua's back garden and private territory, it is not that easy to fully exploit their value.
The first thing Xue Hua had to face was the monastery built among the mountains and the projection of Andalil in the monastery.
Sister An is not easy to deal with, not to mention that Xue Hua knows that if he goes to find trouble with her, something will happen.
There was no way, who told him to touch Sister An's fat ass so hard before~
So for now, all the Zerg can do is still only six words - don't waste your wretched development!
The worker bees quickly expanded enough cave space, and Xue Hua directly let a worker bee mutate in the center of the cave and began to build his first real-world hatchery.
The hatchery of the Zerg is the core of the Zerg. It is the command center, barracks and focus of the Zerg nest. A large nest group usually has multiple hatcheries, and one or several of them mutate into a Zerg nest, and then from the Zerg nest
One of them mutates into the main nest, which is commonly known as the three bases.
Only hatcheries can be built on the ground without creep, and they are also the initial spreaders of creep.
Since Xue Hua plans to use this place as a major secret base, he can't just build a hatchery. Instead, various insect swarm buildings must be built in reality, because the real base cannot inherit the Leviathan hive.
Of course, upgraded technology can be inherited in the technology tree.
Therefore, when the huge hatchery hatched out of the cave, the dimensional door opened around Xue Hua, and a large number of worker bees swarmed out and began to complete their assigned tasks.
Most of the worker bees mined the amethyst veins, which are the easiest to mine, while other worker bees continued their previous work of widening the caves, and some began to mutate various buildings on the fungus carpet.
Xue Hua also called out two insect mothers and asked them to incubate bacterial tumors in order to quickly spread the bacterial carpet. At the same time as they came out, there were poisonous fungal insects.
The fungus mist spread by poisonous bugs can double the spread speed of the fungus carpet, which Xue Hua has not forgotten.
As the worker bees who mined amethyst brought back resources, Xue Hua's sharply declining resource reserves finally began to recover. He used every resource he obtained now to increase the number of worker bees, and the entire cave was soon filled with hardworking people.
Worker bees at work.
With resources available, the insect swarm can develop at a terrifying speed.
Xue Hua left everything to Isa, letting the insect swarm continue to open up the cave, while he ran to a small stone cave with ventilation holes specially built for him by the worker bees to have a nice rest.
For such a long time, he had not slept except for ten minutes of rest in the belly bag of the king insect, so now he had to take a good rest.
When he woke up and walked out of the cave, he shook his head hard and rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had not woken up.
Because the entire underground cave has completely changed its appearance. When he first went in to sleep, the size of the cave was only two basketball courts, but now it is at least twenty football fields!
And not only that, the height of the cave has also become very high, even allowing king insects to float around in the sky.
The most important thing is the number of worker bees.
Xue Hua saw in front of a mountain wall covered with shiny amethyst ore, countless worker bees stacked on top of each other to mine. Their number was so huge that Xue Hua didn't even know it was here.
How many worker bees are there? Moreover, these worker bees are busy but not chaotic. Each one seems to have its own path. Although there are many, there is absolutely no idle one.
This scene can be seen almost everywhere in the entire cave.
Beside the mountain walls with ore veins, a large number of worker bees are busy mining minerals, while beside the mountain walls without ore veins, there are also a large number of worker bees frantically digging, continuing to expand the size of the cave.
The excavated soil and broken rocks were piled aside, and soon worker bees came over to eat the soil directly, and then secreted a unique substance that was used to strengthen the top frame of the cave.
Everything seemed so busy and so organized.
Obviously, this is not the first time that insect swarms have developed nest colonies in the mountains or underground.
Xue Hua slowly walked to the center of this huge nest. Everything he asked for from Isa had been completely completed for him, including the secondary base, cockroach greenhouse, poisonous banel nest, hydralisk nest, tower nest, infected abyss, poisonous nest, etc.
Bacteria culture pool, division pool, evolution chamber, as well as a large number of spine crawlers and a small number of spore crawlers arranged around a channel where worker bees are digging deeply.
In addition to these, in order to facilitate the worker bees to transport the resources they mine, Isa also established hatcheries next to several main resource mining areas for the worker bees, which greatly improved the efficiency of the worker bees.
"...Isa, how long have I been sleeping?" Xue Hua rubbed his head, grabbed a larva from the ground and put it in the palm of his hand, watching it crawl around.
"You have slept for twelve hours and nine minutes, and it is now 4:34 in the afternoon." Isa's voice came from the main nest mind, making Xue Hua's somewhat dizzy thinking slowly calm down.
Come down.
"Why do I feel like I've been sleeping...for at least ten years?" Xue Hua looked at everything around him and twitched the corners of his mouth. It was really hard to believe that these were all created by the insect swarm in the past twelve hours.
"That's your illusion, Master. You are really too tired. It is very normal to feel this way."
"No...I mean...could all this be completed in twelve hours?" Xue Hua pointed at the tall Zerg buildings and busy worker bees around him.
"The insect swarm has just begun to develop, and the speed is indeed a bit slow now, but as the insect swarm becomes larger and larger, our speed will also increase rapidly..." Isa said with a somewhat apologetic voice, Xue Hua had
There was a moment of confusion.
Does it still feel slow like this?
Damn, why do I feel like I am the biggest BOSS in this world?
Big pineapple?
Is a big pineapple considered a joke?
I'll crush the big apple to death for you to see!
He calmed down and continued to say to Isha: "No, Isha, I'm not blaming you, I mean... you are doing a good job, please keep it up!"
"Thank you for your compliment, Lord, Isha will continue to work hard!" There was a little excitement in Isha's voice, which is unusual for her.
"By the way, how many reserve resources do we have now?" Xue Hua asked casually.
"The current resource reserves in Leviathan are - 12,450 units of crystal and 11,864 units of gas, and this value is constantly increasing."
"What the fuck?!" Xue Hua almost spat out. Is it so scary?
You must know that this is a reserve resource. Most of the resources are consumed when building the main nest colony. There are so many worker bees and buildings, king insects, spine crawlers, spore crawlers and other units, which all consume resources.
Yes!
There are still two resources of more than 10,000 left?
"Okay... let me calm down, Isa, what do you think I should use these resources for now? Raise troops? Or continue to expand the underground base?" Xue Hua was a little confused. When he was starving for resources before, he couldn't wait to
Can squeeze resources out of the air.
Now that so many resources suddenly came to him, Xue Hua didn't know how to use them.
"You can choose to resurrect Zagara, the mother of the insect nest, and let it stay in the underground base to continue to develop the scale of the base. After you leave, the hidden base needs a high-level commander with command authority."
"Zagara?" Xue Hua was stunned for a moment, remembering the plan that Isha had told him before.
"Okay! Then resuscitate Zagara!"
(I continue to go around looking for trouble with whips at night...Why the hell do we technicians follow us to do such a thing? We are not an administrative unit...)
