Interstellar Number One Farmer: I Only Want To Farm!-Chapter 213 - 71: Discussion_2
Admiral Bai was calm and composed, finally a day came when these tech maniacs and old grandmasters needed his help.
"Try to expedite things, once the patent is ready, you can seek her out as you wish, but for now, please keep it low-profile, I will keep you from approaching her."
Admiral Bai was a man used to being tough, and it was hard for him to be gentle. But he was quite protective, and Su Xiaocai was considered one of his people. With him as the roadblock, no one could disturb Su Xiaocai’s peace.
He clasped his hands behind his back, ignoring the dozen angry faces, and leisurely returned to his office.
He sat down and first reviewed the current battle situation on Huangyang Star.
Without the Insect Man leader, they were like scattered sand, quickly collapsing.
Due to Huangyang Star’s relatively remote location, there were no other modified planets, and the food supply for Insect Man reproduction was limited, so their numbers were entirely suppressed by the military.
They were being completely annihilated.
The Vice Admiral would later proceed to the Star Belt to support the bases most severely affected.
Admiral Bai set a departure date for him, and anything else could be replaced by himself.
After reviewing some important documents and making adjustments to the base defense, he had time to watch the recorded video sent by Su Xiaocai.
He had previously watched Wu Qingqing and others’ video recordings.
Honestly, only the footage from Wu Qingqing’s mecha was somewhat intact, but the camera was in first-person perspective, and you could only see the shaky images with very little focus on Su Xiaocai’s combat scenes.
The videos from Hu Ping and Liu Xun had various degrees of image quality damage in the post-production.
Opening the file from Su Xiaocai to view, at first, the scene where everyone entered the underground passages was the same.
Su Xiaocai’s recorded video was much higher quality, the file was large, allowing him to zoom in thousands of times to see the details.
He deliberately slowed down to inspect the cave walls, feeling they were smooth, like a karst cave.
Some distinct angular lines showed they were caused by external force.
Admiral Bai thought of the specialists among the Insect Men who were skilled in construction.
They would build nests for the mother body, with nests built high to simulate human fortresses.
Insect Men capable of easily defending against external enemies and even long-range attacking could hide inside the fortress to counterattack the enemy forces, whenever such architecture-type Insect Men appeared.
It indicated that there were multiple mother bodies inside, making them extremely difficult to deal with.
However, construction Insect Men were very rare, their emergence was highly random, much like the uncontrolled evolutionary directions of Insect Men, the more times they evolved, the more varied they became.
To produce construction-type Insect Men intentionally, you would need a large number of mother bodies or one mother body with targeted genes, focusing solely on producing a single type of Insect Man.
The messy excavation of this passage did not resemble the construction-type Insect Men’s style, making Admiral Bai feel a bit relieved, as he continued to watch the video.
The first-person presentation made it feel immersive, especially the part where Su Xiaocai tussled with the mother body.
That part truly made him feel Su Xiaocai’s prowess.
If it were him, he might have chosen to first pull back and create distance, rather than repeatedly sidestepping before the mother body, executing extreme maneuvers.
However, Su Xiaocai’s choice was not wrong, on her mecha, the only weapon capable of causing massive damage was her last ultra-high temperature shell used against the Dog-headed Insect Man.
The rest were all close-quarters weapons.
Creating distance would be equal to giving up the attack.
Every step she took was a gamble, with the slightest miscalculation resulting in her being pulverized.
The Dog-headed Warrior Insect Man was too strong, it was not as weak as suggested in the Vice Admiral’s report.
It was just that Su Xiaocai depleted it too much, rendering it weak.
Admiral Bai was becoming increasingly regretful about this promising talent, it seemed his attitude towards her could still be gentler.
Uh, as gentle as possible. The difficult child was too difficult, being overly gentle would make her uncontrollable.
Later, Su Xiaocai, two against one, killed the mother body...
Wait a minute, what was the plant she used to kill the mother body?
Admiral Bai paused to look at that flower, searching online for identical ones.
It had a pleasant name and was one of the ornamental plants.
Mang Blood, originally the "Mang" of Mang Blood used the character for gadfly, meaning it sucks blood like a gadfly. The namer found the character for gadfly (meng) unpleasant sounding and unworthy of its beautiful appearance, thus it was renamed Mang Blood.
Also known as the Red Demoness.
Generally, when it reached the customers, it was in a floral state and harmless to humans.
Its seeds would take root and sprout relying solely on a corpse.
Once it confirmed its supply host, the roots expanded rapidly, growing up.
Subsequently, wanting it to bear fruit required a consistent supply of nutrients. In the ecology of a place like Capital Star, with many humans and few animals, even insect feed needed to be imported from other planets.
