He Xingzhou continued, "Among us, there are many personnel who design and research aircraft carriers. I must emphasize that the structural design of the space air mother ship is similar yet different from nuclear-powered aircraft carriers!"
"The greatest challenge lies in how to counteract the forces exerted on the hull by the anti-gravity system in the structural design!"
"Now we will assign research teams!"
The AI system assigned everyone to various task teams according to their capabilities and professional fields, working simultaneously.
He Xingzhou himself joined the anti-gravity structural design team. As long as this design can be completed, the other members can finish the design of the space air mother ship without any problem!
At other research institutes, giant mecha; plasma beam emitters; neuro-mechanics; ultra-high energy arc generators; high-frequency wave weapons, etc. are being developed simultaneously.
Time flew by, and half a year had passed in a blink. The Blue Star Alliance built safe zones across the globe.
Relying on robotic forces and the global missile system, these safe zones manage to survive the apocalypse.
Another crucial reason is the increasingly fierce competition among the global Zerg.
Every day, there are fights involving insect kings. Other than in the Asia region, insect kings have completely disregarded humans, so they’re too lazy to attack those small refugee camps with a few thousand or tens of thousands of people.
The Blue Star Alliance’s aircraft carrier fleet has found it challenging to sail in other oceans.
One aircraft carrier fleet was entirely sunk by the Zerg while passing through the Atlantic Ocean. Luckily, most of the crew escaped by using flying mecha and fighter jets.
This served as a warning to the Blue Star Alliance that aircraft carrier fleets can no longer freely traverse worldwide and can only execute missions in nearby waters.
Near Shen Zhou, the Mana King was highly active and had annexed several surrounding insect nests, becoming the strongest insect king in the Pacific Ocean region.
The Jawa Insect King in the Tianzhu Ocean also annexed surrounding insect nests, as the forces of planet giant beasts spread rapidly near Shen Zhou.
This made the surrounding insect kings feel a sense of crisis.
In the "Asian Domination Meeting," the insect kings started discussing again.
"The plan to attack the Blue Star Alliance needs to be advanced!" said an insect king, the Baiyue Insect King. Its insect nest is in the southern forest, frequently raided by the Blue Star Alliance.
The Baiyue Insect King angrily said, "Not only do other insect kings attack me every day, but humans send teams daily to clean up my offspring. If I weren’t hiding deep, I’d have been discovered long ago!"
Upon hearing its predicament, the Beluga Insect King said, "Since you want to attack early, you should lead the charge!"
No one wants to lead the charge for fear of being crippled by the Blue Star Alliance’s first wave of offense.
"Charge it is!" The Baiyue Insect King was truly out of options. The Blue Star Alliance had expanded safe zones to its side, and surrounding insect kings were threatening its survival space.
It said, "I can lead the charge, but you must assist me! I cannot breach the human Steel Great Wall defenses on my own!"
"Excellent!" said the Beluga Insect King, "I will send the Grassland Insect King to the south to coordinate with your operations."
The Grassland Insect King’s nest is in the northern grasslands of Shen Zhou Territory, and it has become the Beluga Insect King’s "underling."
Seeing this, the Three-headed Giant Dragon said, "The Sakura Insect King will also coordinate with your actions, attacking synchronously from the Sakura Sea."
The Sakura Insect King is under the influence of the Three-headed Giant Dragon.
The Beluga Insect King said, "In that case, we will attack on all fronts. Desert Insect King, Southern Ocean Insect King, Peacock Insect King—everyone muster your troops! Whoever doesn’t, once we’ve conquered the Blue Star Alliance, shall die!"
"Of course we can deploy troops!" the insect kings said, "The territories promised earlier, don’t back out now!"
Bell Insect King said, "Let’s distribute according to the previous calculations!"
Ultimately, territorial distribution depends on who’s stronger by then. Other insect kings indeed need to expand territories to gather resources.
"Deploy, deploy!" Big White roused, saying, "I don’t want land—just sea territories!"
The news of fifteen insect nests planning an attack on Shen Zhou quickly reached the Blue Star Alliance.
The Blue Star Alliance Commander promptly convened a meeting.
"Fifteen nests, except for Big White, which is fake, there are fourteen nests!" Qin Peng said sternly, "The number of Zerg attacking us will likely exceed a hundred billion!"
"Nuclear Giant Beast level entities will be at least twenty or more!"
"The Beluga Insect King is suspected to be a planet giant beast! This is the greatest crisis we have faced!"
He Hongwei spoke, "Over the past half year, we have located around three insect nests. Although we’ve attacked the Baiyue insect nest, the Baiyue Insect King escaped too quickly—failing to kill it."
"Once other insect nests mobilize, we can ascertain their locations."
"This time, with an all-out attack from the insect kings, our defensive stress is enormous!" said Cui Weimin, "Logically, if the insect kings advance simultaneously, we cannot defend!"
Everyone realized the severe nature of the problem. According to the previous two-year timeline, they had time to prepare.
But who could have known that these insects couldn’t wait that long and started acting after just over half a year?
With so many Zerg advancing together, how will the Blue Star Alliance cope?
"We can’t remain passive . With so many Zerg attacking, certainly some areas will suffer. We need to proactively attack!"
"Commander He, how much longer will new weaponry take?" Kong Qing inquired of He Xingzhou.
He Xingzhou calculated, "The designs of the space air mother ship and giant mecha are complete. Given their massive size and numerous required parts, manufacturing and assembly will still take some time."
