The three Small Ships responsible for the response attacked not long ago, and there was not much ammunition left.
The first batch of three Attack Ship were mainly used for various exploratory attacks, so they lasted longer.
The main task of this batch is to cause as much damage as possible, and the ammunition will naturally be consumed quickly.
But by this time, they were already planning to break away from the battle, because... this Tree Sea was too big.
Qu Jianlei They bring enough ammunition, Energy Block more. If they use all their strength, destroying this area Tree Sea will not be a big problem.
But it is difficult to say whether all Locust can be wiped out.
The key is that there is only one Battalion-Class Ship and it continues to launch attacks. Fire Control System and even its power system may not be able to survive.
And if all the ammunition is wasted here, do you still want to explore next?
So facing this large group of Alien Race, everyone actually thought of leaving.
This feeling is really bad. Fourth Boss even said, "Should we contact the military and inform them of the situation here?"
Even if they have to leave, the military can always come and annihilate this group of Alien Race, right?
Moreover, Xiao Hu threw some repeaters out while he was on his way. It was only a day's journey, so it was easy to contact the military.
However, after receiving the call, the military confirmed the distance and answered helplessly.
"Sorry, if you can't solve it, we can't help. I suggest you take a detour..."
Similar Alien Race populations are not uncommon in the surrounding areas, and the military cannot completely eliminate them.
The size of the garrison and fleet at the bridgehead is limited.
As a forward position, although they have sufficient ammunition, once part of the fleet leaves, the defense will become stretched.
Prior to this, the military had also raided the surrounding Alien Race before having enough space to establish a bridgehead.
But the problem is that there are too many Alien Race, and they are not afraid of death, which consumes a lot of ammunition from the military.
The military's casualties were not very large, but the equipment was badly worn, simply because the ammunition was piled too high.
The biggest task of the garrison at present is actually to guard Channel Entrance and ensure that Alien Race will not enter the empire through the passage.
The military has discussed this before. Is it appropriate to go out and raid Alien Race?
The result of the final discussion was that it was very uneconomical. Too much ammunition might be wasted and the loss would be too great.
Although the empire is powerful and rich enough, every family must also consider living within their means.
Of course, holding on to Channel Entrance is the bottom line. If you retreat to the other end of the channel, it would be too passive.
Space is endlessly mysterious and ever-changing, and existing technology cannot fully predict all changes.
If something unexpected happens to these Alien Races in the passage, the empire will really cry to death.
Therefore, the only task of the bridgehead is to guard the gate firmly.
Within a limited distance, it is enough to ensure that no Alien Race appears.
After hanging up the communication, Fourth Boss was a little depressed, "Oh, this tactic... is destroying one's own prestige."
Claire agreed, "It would be good to just release a fleet randomly and wipe out some at random, otherwise it would be too passive."
"Ha," Qu Jianlei laughed dryly, "As long as Channel Entrance can be defended, Alien Race cannot attack the empire, so naturally it will attack Alliance."
Everyone was silent. After a while, Hua Xiezhi finally spoke, "There's nothing wrong with that!"
"Alliance can lead Alien Race to Channel Entrance. The empire is just following their example."
Qu Jianlei shook his head helplessly, this is the beggar-thy-neighbour behavior of red berries.
From the perspective of Guojia's interests, many behaviors really have nothing to do with morality, and there is no question of who is dirtier than who.
He sighed, "Forget it, get out of the fight and walk in a circle."
Because of its speed advantage, Battalion-Class Ship can easily escape from the battle.
But even though the distance was millions of kilometers away, that large area of the Tree Sea was still chasing after it. It was really not ordinary tough.
It wasn't until two million kilometers away that Qu Jianlei and others were in the mood to check on Small Ship's injuries.
A large hole was cut out of a Small Ship, but no abnormal energy remained.
After the inspection, everyone was speechless. Finally, Tian Yin asked in confusion, "Is it the power of space?"
"Not entirely," Yi He said simply. "The pure power of space cannot hide it from me."
No matter what previous attainments he had on Space Ripple, it can only be said that he has grown into an expert in Maiden Star Region for more than a thousand years.
Qu Jianlei Diandian head, "Only part of the energy fluctuations can be observed, maybe it's Dark Matter or something..."
"Anyway, the cutting power is amazing, but the range and durability are a bit lacking."
This is good news, but if you look at the Small Ship that Locust attacked, it is a bit shocking.
Small Ship is full of pits and pits. It's not just the result of an attack at first glance, there are obvious traces of corrosion on the edges.
In addition, there are some tips for excessive radiation.
Obviously, the energy contained in Locust's magic attack is strangely corrosive.
This kind of energy can even corrode the energy of the protective shield, and I don't know what type it is.
The good thing is that this energy is Buduo different from that Black Line and dissipates faster.
But also because of this, Xiao Hu only found a little residual energy of Buduo.
However, when it wanted to store this energy, it unexpectedly discovered that this thing could not be loaded with alloys or synthetic materials.
As for whether there are other suitable materials that can be loaded, it is not yet certain, but we do not have enough time to test.
The remaining energy is quickly dissipating.
Just when I had no idea, Qu Jianlei Spirit Essence made a move and said, "How about trying some tree fragments?"
A poisonous thing must have its nemesis within seven steps - this statement is a bit metaphysical, but there are many similar coincidences.
Small Ship The tree fragments captured were not big. One piece was the size of a car, and the other was only one third of the size.
There are many types of Mechanical Arm on Battalion-Class Ship, and Xiao Hu chose a high-speed drill to make holes in the debris.
Drilling the hole was not as difficult as everyone thought, but it still took some time.
And Mechanical Arm is cutting pieces and wants to make a cover.
However, it was still slow. Half an hour later, when everything was ready, the remaining energy disappeared.
After hearing the news from Xiao Hu, everyone looked at each other.
Yi He couldn't help but said, "I should have tried to get Obsidian's seal just now."
Obsidian is the material of Cultivation World. Qu Jianlei also went to Maiden Star Region to obtain a certain reserve.
However, with Obsidian seal, it is not only a matter of material, but also related to the use of spiritual energy.
"Obsidian It's best to use it sparingly," Qu Jianlei stated, "Let's try tree fragments first."
Now the energy is gone? It doesn't matter, just turn around and attack again.
The most important thing is to make the packaging box first.
The next moment, seven or eight Mechanical Arms on Battalion-Class Ship started working at the same time, cutting the fragments into boxes one after another.
Five of the boxes are as big as tires - Qu Jianlei wants to try and see if Black Line can be put in them too.
An hour later, ten small boxes and five large boxes were ready, and Battalion-Class Ship turned around and flew back.
When the large Tree Sea saw Battalion-Class Ship flying further and further away, they originally slowed down and did not intend to continue chasing.
Unexpectedly, this starship actually flew back again...
Tree Sea started to accelerate and came straight up. This one was really no ordinary iron.
Small Ship, which had been cut by Black Line, had replenished its ammunition and Energy Block, and set off again with the other two intact Small Ship.
This battle took less than twenty minutes.
Tree Sea was obviously a lot crazy. They charged in a swarm. Some of the many Black Lines they fired actually accidentally injured friendly troops.
Look at this, there's no need to use that big box - the trees themselves can't resist it Black Line.
But that's normal, just like a starship, it can't withstand attacks from enemy ships of the same level.
The task was a little lighter, but Alien Race was so crazy that one Small Ship couldn't get out of the way and was crippled and then exploded.
With the precise control ability of Xiao Hu, one Small Ship was lost, which shows that Alien Race is crazy.
Of course, this was the result of Small Ship being too close to the opponent and wanting to take samples.
However, even so, one can imagine how dangerous the small manned Attack Ship would be in the face of such an opponent.
Twenty minutes later, the sampling was completed, and Battalion-Class Ship turned around and left the battlefield again.
Tree Sea behind him tried his best to catch up, even if the distance was extended to three million kilometers, he did not slow down.
At this time, Battalion-Class Ship has completed the energy sampling and packaging work.
Qu Jianlei's guess is indeed correct. Boxes made of trees can indeed store energy.
"We can give half of this thing to the military and let's study it together."
Seeing Tree Sea chasing behind him, Claire couldn't help but suggest, "How about hitting them again?"
"Okay," Qu Jianlei Diandian nodded.
This was not because he was short-handed, because he also discovered that those Locust that had lost their nests could only fly at high speed for a period of time.
Locust flies slightly faster than trees, but has poor durability.
During such a long chase, those Locust had to take shelter in the trees where other similar species were sheltering.
Qu Jianlei believes that under such poor living conditions, Locust might kill each other.
Wouldn't that save everyone a lot of trouble? So Battalion-Class Ship returned again and launched a new round of attacks on the Tree Sea.
This attack was not carried out with a mission. Small Ship was not released at all, but Battalion-Class Ship was bombing indiscriminately from a distance.
The attack continued for nearly an hour, during which time Small Ship was sent out and a batch of debris and Locust bodies were collected.
Then Battalion-Class Ship turned around and left again. After a million kilometers, it returned with another wave of attacks.
After doing this for five times, about a quarter of the ammunition carried by Battalion-Class Ship was used up.
The size of the Tree Sea was reduced by half. It felt like Alien Race on the opposite side was already hysterical, and only then did Battalion-Class Ship really drift away.
