I Am the Swarm

Chapter 368 Supplies

Time goes by and doesn't stop.

Because the terms of the Liken people are generous and simple, and since they no longer need to resort to military action after surrendering, the lives of ordinary people have improved a lot. Coupled with the steady increase in the proportion of intelligence and body, public opinion was manipulated, and a few small moth rebels and the like were quickly wiped out.

Therefore, for a long period of time in the future, the Riken tribe will not involve any energy of the swarm. And Luo Wen had time to think about how to deal with the behemoth behind the Doki clan.

After Diallo reorganized the fleet, he has been waiting for an opportunity to give the swarm a hard time.

Unfortunately, what he encountered was a swarm of insects.

The swarm is different from all the civilizations he has known before. Compared with other civilizations, the swarm is simply too Buddhist.

For example, the Riken tribe currently occupies the double-star line of defense, with a total of four planets, Riken's mother star and Guiyun star. In addition to the home planet, even if there are colonies on other planets, but limited by the size and population, the industry will not be so complete.

Therefore, between several planets, there will be transport ships traveling between each other from time to time, transporting supplies, and communicating with each other. And many of these transport ships are not protected by battleships. If you want to sneak attack, they are excellent targets.

However, because the distance between the four stars under the jurisdiction of the Riken tribe is relatively close, there are a lot of defensive facilities, and there are also battleship patrols. If it is an ordinary interstellar pirate, it is easy to get in and not get out.

Diallo's fleet naturally has this ability, but the Rikens are not his target, and he has also secretly contacted the Rikens. But the Rickens raised the banner with the swarm, which meant that if he laid the swarm dry, the Rickens would definitely submit. Anyway, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything.

But on the side of the swarm, the distances between several bases are very far. The entire Riken territory is separated between the Izumo base and the star near-orbit base, and the Izumo base and the Lazer base are also separated. It takes hundreds of millions of kilometers to get there.

With such a long distance, as long as the swarm has even a little communication behavior, Diallo can let the swarm see the harassment tactics of the Doki tribe.

It's a pity that there is really no need for daily communication between the bases of the swarm. Those biological weapons, because of the property that they can become stronger while sleeping, usually lie dead in space, even if the Duoqi fleet passes by from a distance, they don't take a look at them.

In this regard, Diallo is also extremely helpless, there is no small group of troops to go out, go to provoke and seduce, and they will ignore them. If he really wanted to let him rush into the tough Zerg base, he didn't dare, because even the currently weakest Zerg base in Star Lazer could easily let him go and never return.

The embarrassing situation didn't stop there, the swarm naturally didn't care about the passage of time, because every day that passed, it would develop one more day. But Diallo can't do it here, let's not talk about the time limit of the task, this is very flexible, even if it takes a few years, it doesn't matter. But the problem is that their supplies are a little bit overwhelmed.

Fortunately, they brought a lot of energy fuel when they set off, enough to support the fleet to continue wandering for decades, and it would be no problem to fight two more intense wars. But there was not much food left.

In fact, the water source is also easy to solve. Each battleship has a circulation system inside, which can purify all kinds of sewage and domestic wastewater, and then meet the drinking standard again. When you close your eyes and pretend not to know, it is actually the same. But you can’t do this with food. You can’t reprocess the discharged things and serve them on the table.

Although each battleship has an ecological cabin, but the battleship is a battleship after all, not a special supply ship. The scale of the ecological cabin is not large. It usually supplies the needs of the generals, and there are not many left. It cannot satisfy all the odd people. needs.

Diallo's original plan was to capture the Zerg and the Riken tribe and occupy the Riken home planet. Although Riken's home planet is slightly different from Doki's home planet in various parameters, it is still a planet of life, and a little modification of a piece of land can produce food that the Doki people can eat. At worst, they can directly modify the rations of the Riken people for food. At that time, it was natural to stay with each other as long as possible, which is why Diallo only carried two supply ships for this expedition.

But now the battle is not going well, and because of the battle that may happen at any time, the crew are all awake, and the daily consumption is extremely alarming. Although Diallo opened up the relationship with the Liken tribe and secretly smuggled some food from the Liken tribe, but because the Liken tribe did not dare to go too far, and the currency of the two sides was incompatible, the Liken tribe was in the "gratis" After donating" a batch of food to them, he stopped talking to him.

Diallo was so angry that his magma face cracked, and he vowed that he must look good to the Riken tribe in the future, but at this time, this incompetent roar did not have any effect.

However, after these foods are brought back, they need to be processed in various ways to remove the toxins that are harmful to the Doki people before they can be eaten. The process is very cumbersome, and there is not enough equipment on the Doki battleship to deal with them on a large scale. Therefore, even if the Rickens provide unlimited food, it still cannot get Diallo out of the food shortage situation.

Even so, Diallo is still stubbornly wandering in the Rickon galaxy, trying to find opportunities. It's a pity that apart from detecting radio waves between the various bases of the swarm, suspected to be encrypted communication, there is no other interaction between the swarm bases. Moreover, even for communication, the encryption method used is very secretive and complicated. Although the Duoqi Fleet has intercepted many such communications, it has not deciphered any information so far.

Under such circumstances, things suddenly took a turn for the better.

As mentioned earlier, Diallo brought two supply ships for this expedition, and they are the largest models in the Doki family. There are large ecological cabins on it, each of which is enough to supply the daily needs of 200 warship personnel. However, due to its huge size and a length of 3,000 meters, this ship is much larger than Diallo's flagship, so it moves very slowly and cannot keep up with military operations at all.

If they appear on the battlefield, they can only make a worthy target. Therefore, this kind of supply ship is usually hidden in the occupied area of ​​​​one's own side in a relatively safe place during the war to provide supplies for the front line.

And Diallo hid the two supply ships he brought in the meteorite belt outside the Rickon galaxy. During this period of time, the supply ship has already produced a lot of supplies, just waiting for the fleet to receive them. These supplies are frugal, enough for Diallo to hang around for another year or two.

However, he was very self-aware, knowing that although the swarm ignored him, they must be detecting the whereabouts of the fleet through various means.

If they go to supply, the large-scale fleet transfer will definitely make the insect swarm aware, and the slow-moving supply ship will be in a very dangerous situation.

Therefore, he will not resupply until the oil is completely exhausted and the lamp is dry. But the two supply ships full of supplies still gave him a lot of confidence.

Thank you for the reward of 1500 starting coins, and thank you Gu Han for the reward of 100 starting coins.
