The establishment of the first sub-base was just the beginning. Zuo Chen still cherished his life very much. Now that he had the Insect Race inheritance, he cherished his life even more.
The incubation of a sub-base only required 2000 normal energy points, which was not high.
Therefore, in the following time, the forest at the foot of the mountain kept rumbling. Many large trees were bitten off and turned into energy by the male worms. Every once in a while, a male worm would run over and lie down on the empty land, directly turning into the hatching cocoon of the mother nest's branch base.
One, two, three, four!
The construction of the mother nest branch base was spreading rapidly under Zuo Chen's crazy request.
It extended from the foot of the hill to a place three to four miles away in the forest. It was not until the construction of ten sub-bases that the project came to an end. By now, the many sub-bases had completely covered a forest area of 35 square kilometers at the foot of the hill.
After completing this great construction mission, it was already the evening of the second day after the insect soldiers left the mountain.
In these two days of construction, most of the energy was spent on the sub-base construction. As a result, although the number of males and zerglings had increased, it was limited. Currently, Zuo Chen's male zerglings had broken through to 700, zerglings had broken through to 300, and even the hydralisks that had yet to hatch had hatched about 50.
Speaking of the hydralisk's hatching, he had to mention what had happened in the main base in the past two days.
It was about the afternoon of the second day after the insect soldiers went down the mountain. On that day, a group of flying creatures that looked like pterosaurs attacked the main base.
At that time, Zuo Chen was really shocked.
Fortunately, the mother nest had strong self-defense firepower, and the Pterosaurs weren't strong either. Under the attack of the four 10mm biological rapid-fire cannons, the Pterosaurs fell like rain, leaving behind 50 corpses before returning empty-handed.
Those fifty Winged Dragon corpses made Zuo Chen a windfall.
Most of the bases at the foot of the mountain were built in just two days thanks to the energy contributed by the Pterosaur corpses.
The hydralisks were hatched because Zuo Chen realized that his current air defense was insufficient.
For now, Zuo Chen didn't plan on hatching too many hydralisks. After all, the amount of energy needed for one hydralisk was enough to hatch three zerglings.
With the strength of a 3-headed zerglings, they were definitely able to crush a hydralisk on land, even if the venom that the hydralisk spat out was able to corrode a tree trunk that was as thick as an adult's waist!
Energy was the biggest factor that restricted Zuo Chen's rapid development.
Although Zuo Chen had many males under him, the efficiency of the energy conversion furnace in the mother nest base was fixed. The main base and ten sub-bases could only produce 30,000 energy points per day from the plant resources collected by the male bugs.
At present, the base had stockpiled a lot of highly compressed plant essences that had not been converted. The main reason was that the energy that could be converted into one unit of these things was too little. Even if they were converted so many times a day, there would not be much energy to be earned.
There were only two possible solutions to the current problem.
1. Continue to invest a large amount of resources to expand the sub-base and slowly increase the conversion rate. However, this will severely slow down the rate at which the Bug Tribe soldiers are attacking.
Second, while converting these plant resources, they would also send troops to hunt powerful creatures. The more powerful those creatures were, the richer the energy contained in the unit area of their flesh. Transforming their flesh and blood could even yield ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times more energy than transforming plant resources in the same amount of time!
In the Mother Nest's main base, Lorita's illusory shadow stood beside Zuo Chen, quietly watching the big screen in the main control room with him.
"Lorita, perhaps we should start hunting those mutated creatures in the forest." Zuo Chen suddenly spoke.”
Lorita thought for a moment and said,"Master, the current 700 males have entered the stage of overproduction. If you don't continue to set up sub-bases, you can consider investing all your resources into the hatching of zerglings. The current 300 zerglings is too little for our current sphere of influence.”
"Yes."
Zuo Chen nodded, agreeing with Lorita's thoughts.
"Then in the next five days, convert all the production capacity into zerglings to hatch. After the zerglings were formed, he would continue to expand the base and incubate the male zerglings and other zerglings. In five days, 30,000 energy points per day will be enough to hatch at least 600 zerglings. We will be able to have an army of over 3000 zerglings in one go.”
"Alright, Chief Sovereign. I'll make the arrangements now."
"Yes." Zuo Chen replied softly and continued to look at the big screen.
On the screen, a tiny Scout Bug had already left the base group and arrived in the depths of the vast forest.
It turned left and right and soon arrived at an open area.
Roar!
At this moment, a deafening roar of a giant creature was heard.# Date:07 10 2019 6:46PM
