Insectoid Great Fortune

Insectoid Civil War

And so, as time passed, the Reconnaissance Fortress was rapidly constructed. Large quantities of scientific instruments were piled inside, while cables, light bulbs, generators, and other equipment were installed in place.

Humanity's stockpiles of oil, coal, cement, and other resources had nearly fallen to the warning line. Over all these years, they had only been consumed, never replenished.

But there was no other choice now. The remaining stockpiles had all been used to build this Reconnaissance Stronghold.

That was certainly good news.

The rear headquarters was six thousand kilometers away, so safety was guaranteed.

"There are also some interesting conclusions." Lu
