"Isa, isn't our hive on the asteroid belt not enough to shoulder this responsibility?"
Listening to the adjutant's answer about hatching a new Leviathan warship, Xue Hua asked with some confusion.
"Hatching a Leviathan-class or Behemoth-class mothership-class biological battleship requires a very large resource injection and the biomass transportation support of at least three main hive-level hives. The current size of our hives outside this world
The largest ones only have two main nest-level nest groups, which are currently unable to shoulder the important task of hatching Leviathan."
Isa explained this.
"What if we expand the nest?"
"Expanding the nest requires time and a large enough site, which are not available on the asteroid belt."
Its answer made Xue Hua a little frustrated. He tried to think of other ways to speed up the pace of getting a new flagship for the fleet, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't find one that was large enough to accommodate three main nest levels in the current environment.
Hives and no longer come from areas within the sanctuary world.
The remaining desolate, dead planets in the star system where the Sanctuary world is located are now being transformed by Zuzade, and even without this obstacle, on such worthless planets, the insect swarms can only ingest
The resources in the resource pool are converted into biomass to grow.
This will undoubtedly greatly increase the cost of hatching a new Leviathan.
It seems that only when Zuzad's work shows initial results can the new flagship of the swarm fleet be put on the agenda...
Of course, Xue Hua had considered a long time ago whether his inability to release the Leviathan trapped in his spiritual universe in this world was simply because the overly strict and exclusive rules of this world were hindering him.
But Isa quickly dispelled his doubts.
It told Xue Hua that although the rules of this world are powerful and strict, they are far from enough to restrict a huge insect swarm biological mothership.
The main problem that prevents Leviathan from escaping from the spiritual universe lies in the energy source from virtual reality.
Leviathan is simply too powerful. As a super weapon that the insect swarm once relied on to traverse the universe, this highest level of bioengineering is definitely not as simple as Xue Hua imagined.
Isa's explanation reminded Xue Hua of the Xel'Naga's octopus-shaped biological mothership that was born from the core of the planet - Leviathan is a unit that is no less terrible than that kind of creature.
Since the technology of the Xel'Naga people still requires all the energy of a planet's core to breed a biological battleship of that level, then the harsh incubation conditions required by Leviathan seem to be reasonable.
Thinking of this, the urgent mood in his heart finally calmed down a little.
At least his swarm was lucky enough to have an environmental transformation expert like Zuzade who had the ability to reactivate the core resources of an extinguished planet - this means that in the near future, the swarm may be able to grow much faster than the Xel'Naga.
Quickly create powerful flagship-level biological battleship units in batches.
Just as he was about to continue discussing other aspects of the insect swarm with Isa, a "dinging, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding" sound was heard from the mast of the cargo ship "White Whale".
This was a signal that the cargo ship was about to dock. After half a month of sea voyage, they were finally about to set foot on solid ground again.
However, this time the docking destination is not the Haworth Islands where Xue Hua will eventually arrive - it is the land of the Amazon people. Under normal circumstances, no ships can dock directly in any area of the archipelago.
The port that the cargo ship is about to arrive is a commercial port opened by the Amazon tribe on another large island outside the Haworth Islands. The name of this large island is "Saltra".
Saltera is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Haworth Islands, and the port established at its northernmost tip is regarded as the only external trading port of the Amazon clan. This commercial port was established and managed by foreign merchants and local Amazons.
The only place where the Amazons on the Worth Islands can trade with foreign countries.
Although the powerful female warriors of the Amazon clan have always been able to live a self-sufficient closed life on the island for a long time, after the giant massacre after the invasion of hell, the remaining Amazon clan finally realized that they
A lifestyle that is completely devoid of communication with the outside world is not advisable.
As a result, the commercial port of Saltera came into being. This not-so-prosperous port town also brought some different changes in living habits to the Amazon tribe on the Haworth Islands.
The crisp copper bell struck twelve times to ensure that everyone on the ship received the message that the ship was about to dock.
Xue Hua temporarily stopped communicating with the adjutant, grabbed the money bag thrown on the bedside table - a long voyage will make you bored, and counting money is sometimes a good way to pass the time - and prepared to disembark and visit the place.
An exotic island port.
When he walked out of the room, he saw many sailors coming out of the bottom warehouse in twos and threes. They obviously had the same idea as Xue Hua and were ready to go to the shore to have some fun.
The Beluga will stay in Saltera for one night to unload various cargos loaded from King's Port. This time is the last chance for the sailors on the ship to relieve stress, because after that, the ship
The cargo ship will go straight through the Adverse Strait and via the Nobil Inland Sea, transporting precious cargo brought from the countries on the western border to the Kingdom of Kejistan on the northernmost side of the eastern continent.
Of course, the "stress relief" referred to here does not have the same benefits as other human kingdom ports.
As a seaport managed by the Amazons, the only thing that entertains guests in the taverns of Port Shaltela is wine.
But that's enough. There is no ice cellar on the cargo ship, and you can't imagine how unacceptable the fishy and bitter taste left after the cheap bitter algae wine loses its cold taste.
Anyway, after Xue Hua took a sip, he would rather drink sea water than touch the wine in the glass again.
When the prototype of a not-too-large port slowly emerged under the sea level in front of the cargo ship, Xue Hua heard many sailors not far away let out a sigh of relief from the bottom of their hearts.
Long voyages are always depressing, especially since the ship had experienced a horrific incident where it was almost dragged into the abyss a day or two ago.
The nerves of the crew on the ship have already been stretched to the limit. Although Xue Hua, a "senior professional", is still on the ship, his "weird and lonely" character, which is legendary among sailors, cannot bring enough security to the people on the ship.
.
Now, the route has finally come to an end. Entering Saltera Island means entering the protection range of the patrol guards on the Haworth Islands. Those Amazons patrolling the shallow sea in canoes are the first to
This time gave the crew a "cute" look. In the past, these cold Amazon women often left quite "unforgettable" memories for the sailors on the cargo ships.
As the seagulls began to fly around the mast, the Beluga finally docked on the somewhat crude wooden trestle of Saltera Port.
The sailors placed the wide planks that served as cargo ladders from the ship's deck onto the trestle, and then the crew members without tasks swarmed toward the small town behind the port.
Xue Hua also threw his money bag and followed these cheerful people, preparing to experience the island customs of Saltela.
He turned back and waved his arm towards Kane, who was determined to stay on the boat and seize all the time to teach Aman, then smiled at the little girl with bulging cheeks, and wanted to walk along the board and get off the boat.
But at this moment, Isa suddenly sent him an emergency warning in the main nest mind.
A supervisory king insect discovered five or six hostile targets with psychic powers as high as 7.0 in the shallow water around the trestle. They were using the sea water as cover to attack Xue Hua who was on the wooden board from all directions! (To be continued.
