Qu Jianlei decided to leave not because he had used up a lot of ammunition.
It is mainly an attack launched by one's own side, and the focus is on destroying trees, not Locust.
Half of the trees were destroyed, but only about 10% of the Locust were killed.
Laser Weapon consumes a lot of energy. Everyone carries a lot of Energy Block, but there is no need to waste it.
The key is that when Tree Sea was chasing Battalion-Class Ship, those Locust who had nowhere to go really started to bite each other.
The purpose of the test has been achieved and the results are available, so there is no need to bother anymore.
If we launch an attack again, it will force these Alien Race to share their hatred and hatred with the outside world, which is obviously not cost-effective.
Seriously, we can focus on analyzing the body structure of Locust during the next voyage.
For Qu Jianlei, who was born in the Great Foodie Empire, the first thing to do is to determine whether Locust's meat can be eaten.
The results of the inspection were a bit regretful. Locust's corpse was extremely rich in energy, but the flesh was poisonous and had slightly corrosive energy.
According to Xiao Hu's analysis, this corrosive energy is similar to the energy contained in the tree box and should be able to dissipate relatively quickly.
But the toxicity in the meat... this is a headache.
Qu Jianlei was a little unwilling and separated two corpses for Xiao Hu to do the toxicity neutralization test.
If the toxicity can be removed, you can try whether it tastes good or not.
Fourth Boss and others do not have very strong appetites. Hua Xiezhi even asked directly, "Boss, do you really want to eat everything?"
Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes at her, "What do you know? This is related to the overall strategy of the war against Alien Race!"
Claire laughed when he heard this, "This is also related to war strategy. Boss, are you just greedy?"
Qu Jianlei shook his head helplessly, "You'd better find out first, what is the purpose of the war?"
In his opinion, no matter whether it is Alliance or the empire, the main reason why it is a headache for Locust and Alien Race is that it cannot afford it financially.
Why can't you afford it? Because there is no income from beating these trees and Locust, only expenses.
If war can bring huge benefits, no one will resist war. Just take a look at the beautiful country on Blue Star.
If we fight against the invasion of Alien Race, even if we suffer a slight loss in fighting, we will not hesitate.
But just losing money would be a headache.
If Locust's meat can be made edible, or the next best thing, even if it can be composted... then there will be income, right? A corpse that contains so much energy should not be wasted.
If the processed Locust meat can be made extremely delicious, it is not impossible to eat these Alien Race as protected animals.
But this is mostly just a good wish.
Yi He was also very interested in Locust's body. He was wondering whether this pair of wings could be used to refine weapons? He himself has never been to Locust World, and his level of weapon refining is average, but it is said that Locust's wings can be used to refine weapons.
In addition, everyone is worried about whether there are any unknown bacteria or viruses on or in these Locust.
Only he, as a soul, is not afraid of these things. As long as the radiation is not very strong, it doesn't matter.
Also, in this battle against the Tree Sea Alien Race, one Small Ship was lost, and two other ships became dilapidated.
However, the two Small Ship cannot be accommodated in the Battalion-Class Ship yet, for fear of unknown situations.
The result of Yi He's inspection was: No suspected virus was found in the bodies of these Locust.
However, there were some spore-like substances on the chest and abdomen of Locust's body.
This substance is biologically active, but it is in a dormant state. If it grows up, it is unknown what it will become.
Therefore, these corpses cannot be easily put into Battalion-Class Ship, they can only be kept in the damaged Small Ship.
There is also the study of wood. There are similar spores in the cavities of the wood, so it can only be hung outside the starship.
As for the material of wood, Xiao Hu soon analyzed it and said that it cannot be synthesized in this world at all! If you have the skills to imitate it, you might as well research what kind of attacks this thing can't withstand.
After sailing like this for two days, it was not appropriate for Battalion-Class Ship to continue sailing because she might encounter Alliance's warship at any time.
So everyone entered Heavy-Load Merchant Ship and planned to leave.
At this moment, Xiao Hu finally processed a piece of Locust meat to a non-toxic state.
But the bad thing is: the cost of harmless treatment this time is too high, and the energy content has been reduced a lot.
After Qu Jianlei heard about it, they were not interested in trying the taste of Locust meat.
This was originally a relatively dangerous matter, but in this case, it can only be postponed temporarily.
But he still encouraged Xiao Hu, "Keep trying, the premise is to reduce costs and prevent energy loss... I believe in you!"
Big Head Butterfly turned around, "Confirm, the purpose is to make Locust's body more valuable?"
"That's right," Qu Jianlei Diandian nodded, "How about I play another set of Calculation Unit for you."
After placing Calculation Unit and giving Xiao Hu appropriate permission to escape and fight back, Heavy-Load Merchant Ship flew out of Battalion-Class Ship.
Imperial Military not only forged the merchant ship's pass, but also provided a nearby star map. The service was very considerate.
However, in the nearby space, there is a large area marked in bright red - those areas have been occupied by Alien Race.
Qu Jianlei The area they were in was right on the edge of the bright red zone.
Everyone did not choose the direction of the bright red area, but flew straight towards the inside of the Alliance.
After flying for a day, just as he was about to speed up the jump, Alliance Military and Patrol Team appeared in front of him.
There are two Patrol Ship in the team, and they are very vigilant. They have raised the level of the protective shield from a distance, and the weapons have begun to charge.
Then they asked Heavy-Load Merchant Ship to show proof from afar.
After seeing the electronic visa, they asked the merchant ship to slow down, remove the protective cover and open the gangway.
One Patrol Ship was eyeing the merchant ship. After another Patrol Ship connected to the ship's side, two soldiers boarded the ship for inspection.
After the two checked everyone's identities, they then checked Cargo Hold.
Half of the Cargo Hold is loaded with ammunition and Energy Block, and the other half is filled with higher-purity nickel blocks and some living supplies.
The shipping manifest was also forged, and the soldiers didn't see anything unusual, but so many ammunition and Energy Block... were a bit unusual.
However, Hua Xiezhi said that he heard that Alien Race activities were rampant nearby, so we wanted to be prepared.
I would rather carry less goods, but also ensure that I can compete with Alien Race.
This answer is somewhat nonsense, because according to the known intelligence, the vast majority of Alien Race cannot catch up with the starship.
As long as you don't fall into a set ambush circle and encounter Alien Race in space, there is no problem in escaping.
But for some reason, the two soldiers actually felt that this answer was more reasonable - Alliance people are not ischemic in the first place.
One soldier suddenly said, "Perhaps you took this route to hunt Alien Race, right?"
Otherwise, depending on the requirements of the freight bill, you should not choose a nearby location as a jump transfer station.
This is originally the most difficult to explain. Ordinary starships should not appear in this area of space! But with this explanation, it makes perfect sense.
Hua Xiezhi nodded and replied, "We do have such thoughts, we just want to hunt for rewards!"
Alliance has a bounty for hunting Alien Race. The bounty is not too high, otherwise it would be better for the military to send a fleet to encircle and suppress it.
However, you can accumulate social contribution points. If your contribution reaches a certain level, there will be corresponding benefits.
In fact, this also gave rise to some underground transactions, but there is no need to go into details.
Another soldier shook his head disapprovingly and snorted, "How childish, do you want to hunt down Alien Race on a mere starship?"
Hua Xiezhi smiled slightly when he heard this, but did not answer.
Two soldiers were inspecting the starship, wearing instruments. The soldiers on the two Patrol Ships could also see the scene.
Someone saw this and let out a light sigh, "This guy usually talks a lot of sarcastic words. Why did he change his temper today?"
In short, although the inspection was strict, Qu Jianlei and his team passed easily.
What is particularly gratifying is that the starships that appear in the surrounding area will most likely be requisitioned by the military - even if they are fully loaded with cargo.
After passing this level, it is said that there will be several more inspections later.
However, after Qu Jianlei and the others experienced this inspection, they jumped away directly at a faster speed.
After activating the jump, you have completely entered Alliance. It will be too difficult to find them again.
In their original plan, they were to go straight to the core area of the Alliance, snatch Space Stone, and create a certain amount of chaos.
But everyone discussed it and decided to lurk for a while. The main purpose is to obtain more information about Alien Race.
The Alien Race facing Federation on one side is Asura. They already know a lot about it, but they don't know enough about Locust World.
There is also a batch of political, military, economic and other information about the Alliance that must be collected.
If Space Stone is snatched from the beginning, it will create chaos for the Alliance, but subsequent activities will be affected.
So they chose Vault Star Region which is relatively close to Occupied Area.
After jumping out, Heavy-Load Merchant Ship has arrived near the star field Central Star Jade Waves.
After flying for about a day, we encountered the military's Patrol Ship ahead.
But this time, they had loaded the nickel block into the Item-Storing Talisman and put away some of the ammunition.
It was still a near miss. After the last inspection, everyone has been able to confirm that hunting is indeed common.
The reason they gave this time was to investigate the business opportunities of Jade Waves while hunting.
It is said to be a business opportunity, but in fact Vault Star Region is already close to Alien Race Frontline. The supply and price of materials will definitely fluctuate.
When the inspecting soldier heard this, he snorted coldly, looking very disapproving.
But it's no wonder that Alliance's army is divided into direct and local armies. Now it is the local army that maintains local security.
I heard that someone was planning to resell supplies locally, which obviously made me a little dissatisfied.
However, they can't complain. The number of cargo ships entering and exiting the star field has decreased a lot, and the main transportation capacity is still on combat readiness supplies.
Anyone who dares to inspect the market now is brave, and what they earn is risky money.
