Qu Jianlei had not previously mass-produced Flawed Portable Abodes, mainly because he was unsure how effective they would be against the Asura.
Moreover, making these things consumed Space Stones, and he could not bear to casually use them for experiments.
This time, seeing that they worked well, he hurriedly produced a batch. Fortunately, he had already worked out the process, so they were not difficult to make.
As for feeling sorry for the Space Stones, there was no time to consider that, because he was certain that a major battle between his side and the Asura was inevitable.
Wasn't war just about burning money? If others could afford it, so could they.
Still, calling this a major battle, the six Mother Nests before them seemed somewhat lacking.
Back when they had been requisitioned by the Federation military to attack the Asura in this region, they had faced only two Mother Nests.
Yet the Federation had deployed two fully staffed division-level fleets at the time, along with several requisitioned fleets, and had still fought with great difficulty.
Now, three Division Level Ships facing six Mother Nests and actually feeling underestimated... that was truly confidence.
But in truth, Qu Jianlei did not believe this was the full extent of the enemy's ambush.
"There are probably forces waiting to encircle us from behind. We can't drag out the battle up front for too long."
It was a perfectly reasonable judgment. The medium Nebula they had emerged from was not especially difficult to return through, so why would the enemy merely block their path?
Perhaps these Asura were actually hoping they would turn back.
In any case, whether in personal combat or starship battles, Qu Jianlei had always followed one principle: you fight your way, and I'll fight mine.
