I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Chapter 729 All Departments Actively Prepare for Battle

During the previous process of clearing out those three underwater mother nests, Su Mo gained a lot of experience in fighting at sea.

Even so, Su Mo knew that it would still take her a day or two to find the fourth one, and she couldn't save time, since she had to work with the big black ball.

Destroying the mother nest is crucial; the large black ball needs to consume more Zerg to replenish its energy and meet its reproductive needs for the next reproduction.

This is the result that all parties wanted. Fortunately, although it will take some time, it won't be much.

How many more mother nests are hidden in that vast area of ​​the seabed? They're all waiting for Su Mo to find.

The water sphere protecting Su Mo traveled through the dark, calm seabed.

Xia Kingdom.

For this first alien battle, the entire machine of the Xia Kingdom was mobilized.

In the Space Force, in addition to the First Legion, which was actively preparing for war under the leadership of General Liu Qi, the other three legions also increased their training intensity.

With the government's strong coordination capabilities and the active cooperation of relevant departments, all kinds of war materials and equipment prepared for this expedition are expected to be delivered to the First Army Corps' base within five days.

The factories under the Xia Guo Aerospace Group received the task of modifying the interior of cargo ships. The interiors of the existing twenty complete cargo ships all need to be temporarily adjusted. Xia Guo has not yet built its own space carrier. In order to transport the First Legion to the front line, the cargo ships can only be modified for military use first.

However, this task is not complicated. The main cargo hold of the cargo ship was designed with room for adjustment, and if we work at full capacity, it can be completed within five days.

After the modifications, each cargo ship could carry 400 soldiers, which was enough to transport the First Legion to the front lines, while still having some space for cargo.

Three small warships will also be traveling with the cargo ships.

Although these small warships have all been produced as finished products in the factory, they are actually still in the trial stage and are products that have just left the research institute.

Countless simulated battles have been conducted in the StarNet, and the Space Force's combat equipment options are limited to these three types of warships, but there has never been a real combat exercise.

This expedition of the First Legion is also a test for these warships.

After the modifications are completed, the twenty cargo ships and the one hundred small warships of three different sizes accumulated by the Xia Kingdom will be ready to set sail at any time.

Aside from the less time-consuming preparations, the more time-consuming preliminary preparations are in maintaining communication.

In order to maintain uninterrupted communication with the front lines, the StarNet official team needs to launch positioning base stations first.

As for the equipment, it has already been manufactured; twenty base station devices are lying in the warehouse at the launch site.

These devices were originally requested and manufactured by the Extra-Star Development Office, with the aim of expanding the coverage of the Star Network. However, the target area of ​​the Extra-Star Development Office was to expand from Blue Star to cover all celestial bodies of all sizes within Blue Star's radiation range.

Because the Extraterrestrial Development Office is going to hold an auction for the ownership of small celestial bodies in early June, which will be selling various small celestial bodies that have been detected around Earth, this preparation work is naturally necessary first.

However, the latest intelligence from the Zerg arrived suddenly, and the expedition was clearly more important than the auction. The base station equipment they had prepared in advance was requisitioned and was to be used on the space force's flight path.

Calculations show that twenty positioning base stations from Earth to the front lines are sufficient. The only thing missing now is to launch them. If all goes well, it will take ten days to launch all the equipment.

These devices, launched first, will enter their designated orbits ahead of the Space Force. Once operational, the subsequent fleet will be able to use the StarNet smoothly.

Preparations are in full swing in all aspects, except that Jiang Qizhang has not yet been able to contact Su Mo.

Blue Star, Blue Ocean.

Su Mo, a water sphere, is wandering and exploring in the dark seabed.

To gain a clear understanding of her progress, she created a separate underwater map with the help of the StarNet. This 3D map contained no extra descriptions, only the general topography of the seabed within the Blue Sea and Star Sea areas.

The places Su Mo has already visited will be highlighted on this map, while other areas she hasn't been to will be grayed out.

It has been more than two days since my last communication with Jiang Qizhang. At this point, only about one-tenth of the blue ocean area on the map is lit up.

The reason it was so fast was because Su Mo hadn't encountered the mother nest or engaged in battle in the past two days.

Of course, it's not because there are no mother nests in the sea. Su Mo believes that this situation is related to the special location of the underwater secret realm. Unlike the scattered and numerous secret realms on land, the number of underwater secret realms is relatively small, and they always appear in clusters, which makes them not easy to search.

Another possibility is that before Su Mo killed the third mother nest, it really did send a warning message to the other mother nests. Su Mo couldn't guess the content, but it was likely to make them all go silent and reduce the chances of attracting Su Mo's attention.

They shouldn't be like their dead predecessors, who, before Su Mo had even found the mother nest, had their Zerg soldiers rushing out to confront him.

The death of the Zerg soldiers was not a big deal, but it greatly exposed the location of the mother hive.

The silence of the mother nest did indeed increase the difficulty of Su Mo's search.

Since Su Mo, who was in the deep sea, had not yet found the next mother nest and had no information about the location of the mother nest to report, she naturally did not think of surfacing to receive information.

This resulted in Jiang Qizhang being unable to be contacted.

As the president of the association, Jiang Qizhang was naturally very busy. Although he was tasked with negotiating with Su Mo, he was also very busy with his own duties and had many things to handle.

He knew that Su Mo was also working on the pest control operation in the sea, so he wanted to wait and see. He didn't recall the intelligence information he had received about the Teaching Tower, and never thought that he could contact Su Mo through the Teaching Tower.

I'll just wait. It's only been two days. Although I'm worried and anxious, I can still be patient.

In the association's headquarters office, after Jiang Qizhang finished processing the documents sent to him, he glanced at the screen but still found no information about Su Mo.

Putting down his work equipment, Jiang Qizhang got up and left his office to go to the pest control command center, where he checked the data sent back by the people sent to Blue Ocean.

The association has already dispatched teams to clean up the three underwater locations that Su Mo had already dealt with.

The messages from the three locations were almost identical: the secret realms left behind after being absorbed by the mother nest had become high-risk secret realms, unsuitable for human exploration.

As for what to do with those secret realms, we need to consider it further before we can decide. For now, we can only isolate and protect them.
