#690 - Chapter 690: Surrender in Exchange for Food - I have a space station

The protective shield could only absorb the energy from a maximum of 30 laser shots simultaneously; any more than that, and it couldn't handle it.

And in the air, there were at least a thousand insect warships.

Almost in an instant, one turret was destroyed.

Immediately following was the second, the third…

In two minutes, at most two minutes, all 10 turrets were scrapped.

These insect warships swarmed down, their hatches opening. A massive number of giant Tasman ants poured out, beginning to search around the turrets.

Construction worker ants looked for advantageous locations and began to dig holes.

Their purpose was simple: to find food.

Here there were turrets, and in their view, there must be a colony.

Where there is a colony, there is food.

This was the reason they didn't detour and risked everything to destroy these turrets.

Dongfang Chen didn't care about the loss of a few turrets.

Now, he was even a little happy.

Sending heads from a thousand miles away, the gift is heavy, and the 'affection' is also heavy.

The Great Sun Kingdom base in Southeast Asia is now a major producer of crystal nuclei, consuming a massive amount of feed every day.

With so many giant ants right in front of him, it wouldn't be right not to accept them.

So, an exit of a base not far from the turret ruins quietly opened, and a large number of simulated spider robots swarmed out.

The individual giant Tasman ants were not very intelligent and had extremely poor defense; it could be said they had almost no defense at all.

In this situation, it was completely a one-sided massacre.

The first to suffer losses were the reddish-brown predatory ants. They wandered around in the vicinity, splitting into multiple groups, and were wiped out.

After they realized something was wrong, they began to retreat rapidly towards the warships.

Thinking of leaving was not so easy.

Boarding the ship took time.

While they waited, the massive number of Tasman ants surrounding the warships became sitting ducks.

However, the number of simulated spider robots was limited, and the number of enemy warships was huge. It wouldn't be easy to leave them all behind before the warships took off.

In half an hour, they only managed to eliminate more than 100 ships, and the remaining nearly 900 successfully took off and fled back.

This couldn't be helped.

There were simply too many of them; it was impossible to eat them all.

Even if they only eliminated more than 100 ships, they still gained at least 100,000 Tasman ants.

Calculating at 50 pounds per ant, that's 5 million pounds of protein.

Enough to produce 3 million pounds of feed.

This 3 million pounds of feed could raise 1 million rats.

This corresponds to 1 million crystal nuclei.

Deducting the loss of 10 turrets, they could still net a profit of 900,000 nuclei.

This scale could only be described as a small profit.

On the other side: Australia, Melbourne.

Dongfang Chen instructed Xiaolin to issue an order to the Queen Bee, dispatching 100,000 simulated spider robots to launch an attack on the Tasman ant underground nest there.

This wasn't the first time they had launched an attack.

In the past, the Queen Bee would regularly send robots to sweep through once, collecting a certain amount of Tasman ant corpses before withdrawing completely.

On the one hand, to control the size of their population, and on the other hand, to get some corpses to make feed.

But this time, it was a devastating blow.

Why not continue 'raising fish'?

Because after Australia was frozen, the Tasman insect civilization had lost the potential for further development.

Without food, their insect society would soon collapse.

The underground nests were basically all ant species with no power to resist, completely a one-sided massacre.

Some of the simulated spider robots were responsible for cleaning up, and some were responsible for transportation. All the robots performed their duties, shuttling back and forth in the narrow tunnels.

The Tasman ant nest in Melbourne was very large, and it would take a very long time to completely clean it up.

"Commander, the Tasman ants are requesting a call."

The battle had just broken out, and they were already anxious.

"Answer it."

Individual Tasman ants do not have the ability to communicate. So, this kind of communication is initiated by the knowledge worker ants using the biological network after the Queen issues the order.

"Humans, stop fighting."

Their prophecies are very concise, using very few words to express their thoughts.

"Impossible."

Dongfang Chen was worried that they wouldn't understand, so he replied very concisely.

"We exchange."

They sent another message.

Dongfang Chen didn't understand immediately and asked:

"Exchange what?"

"Food."

"We don't need food," Dongfang Chen replied.

"Surrender exchange food."

Dongfang Chen understood; they wanted to surrender.
