Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Limited by Chen Ming’s own spiritual energy’s mandatory limitation on the number of ships he can directly control, he has constantly been considering solutions for his lack of large-scale space combat power.

One such solution is the Insect Queen.

Until today, he finally has a significant space combat force ready to be deployed at any time.

To be honest, Chen Ming’s total spiritual power has long surpassed the Insect Queen by an unknown amount, yet the Insect Queen can control so many biological cruisers.

While Chen Ming can only control a few cruisers, which has always been quite frustrating for him.

Fortunately, once Chen Ming’s spiritual energy reached the limit for controlling a cruiser level, the number of lower-tier ships he can control was hardly limited.

With enough armor-piercing level crafts, they have a similar effect to cruisers.

There’s no other way; spiritual energy is too abstract.

Perhaps when Chen Ming can control the main ship, the restrictions on cruisers won’t be as severe.

After Chen Ming gave more precise commands.

The Insect Queen gradually adjusted the conversion process of the insect nest.

Primarily, focusing on the insect nests located in the shallow layers of the Insect Hive Planet to prioritize recovery and conversion of the Insect Race.

While the deeper nests continued to rapidly cultivate large quantities of worker insects, maintaining a frantic pace in mining the planet’s resources, devouring everything on the planet.

The Insect Queen’s spiritual energy, after evolution, demonstrated its new concentrated application effect.

The body strengthening ability can concentrate on strengthening certain parts of the body.

Worker insects responsible for mining have enhanced limbs for digging, while those responsible for digestion have strengthened digestive organs, and even the insect nest structures responsible for converting energy into energy crystals have had their corresponding structures enhanced.

The insect nests are crazily devouring the planet they reside on, converting the planet into energy crystals, turning it into resources for the Insect Race.

Mere tens of minutes have passed.

The shallow layer insect nests have been completely transformed into Insect Race cruisers.

Some parts of the rocky layer have been exposed due to the conversion of the insect nests but were quickly covered again by the fungal mat, which has evolved once more, increasing both expansion speed and foundation strength.

It’s visible that the deeper insect nests are still continuing to cultivate the Insect Race, continuing to devour everything.

And the number of Insect Race cruisers alone converted from the shallow layer insect nests has already exceeded 100,000.

Upon obtaining this figure, Chen Ming realized he was wrong, incredibly wrong.

He consistently underestimated the power of the Insect Queen, and underestimated it significantly.

He initially thought that after the Insect Queen’s evolution, forming a large-scale combat power would still take time.

At most, she could provide some temporary combat power in a short time to help him solve the immediate problem.

But now it seems.

The Insect Queen even has the capacity to directly combat an entire Mechanical Race Star Realm.

Chen Ming always prefers to observe many things from a pessimistic perspective, estimating based on the worst-case scenario.

Thus, he believed that even after the Insect Queen’s evolution, it would only provide him with some capacity to engage the incoming Mechanical Race fleet.

But in reality, the situation is far better than he imagined.

After all, the Insect Race is neither human, Dusk, nor Mechanical Race; they don’t need to consider the planning and building of industrial colonies, then proceed to think about ship production.

What the Insect Race needs to do is consume everything, turn it all into nutrients, and then convert those nutrients into warships.

This is the terrifying efficiency of the Insect Race.

Under normal circumstances, the average length of a cruiser is 1,000 meters. After the Insect Queen’s evolution and Chen Ming’s limited spiritual power optimization, the average length of an Insect Race cruiser has increased to around 1,200 meters.

While the Earth’s circumference is 40,000 kilometers.

The Insect Race’s warships now, joined end-to-end, can circle Earth over three times, not to mention considering the warships’ height and width.

At first glance, these numbers may seem exaggerated, but upon closer consideration, one realizes they are not exaggerated at all.

Because it can be even more exaggerated.
