227: Chapter 234 Mysterious Bird Sky Fighter, Aerial Units Unlocked!

Under Su Yang's command, Ranger Squad 1 quickly evacuated the Wild Forest.

In fact, if the Insect Swarm did not deploy more unit types, the ranger squad should have been able to wear them down by kiting them back and forth.

However, because the ranger squad had traveled a long distance, their energy reserves were already low when they encountered the Insect Swarm.

If they continued to fight, they would fall into a dire predicament the moment any unexpected situation arose.

After discovering that his troops possessed the hidden attribute of combat experience, Su Yang was even less willing to see his soldiers die in battle.

Although they did not completely annihilate the Insect Swarm, this reconnaissance mission had already achieved the results Su Yang desired.

First, they determined the approximate combat strength level of the Insect Swarm, which was that their long-range firepower had been greatly enhanced.

Ordinary Stinger Bug units had rifles, and those larger Xenomorph units could certainly Fusion with heavy weaponry like tanks.

This exploratory reconnaissance hadn't encountered those big guys yet, but it was foreseeable that their firepower would be terrifying.

However, although their firepower had increased, their defensive capabilities had not significantly improved.

Electromagnetic series weapons could still inflict highly effective damage against them.

Moreover, anatase was currently being harvested; once the troops fully upgraded their Imperial Armor, they wouldn't need to fear the Insect Swarm firepower too much, relying on Titanium Armor and Deflection Shield.

Finally, there were the aerial units of the Insect Swarm; the aerial units encountered today were higher in both quantity and level of difficulty compared to before.

It was time for Great Qin's aerial combat forces to make their debut.

Ranger Squad 1 quickly withdrew from the Wild Forest and headed to the designated meeting point with wolf smoke.

After resupplying there, they would return together to Great Qin Territory to rest and reorganize.

...

As night fell, all of Great Qin's troops fighting abroad had now returned to their respective strongholds.

The 1st and 2nd Expeditionary Armies returned to the Australia territory, Ranger Squad 1 returned to Great Qin Territory, and Ranger Squad 2 remained stationed in the Vietnam territory.

Su Yang opened the panel and summoned the smart brain to start tallying the day's various gains.

[ Loot resources are being tallied... ]

The smart brain took only 10 seconds to tally and summarize all the loot into a table.

This speed was countless times faster than Su Yang looking through them one by one; this was the benefit of supercomputing power.

Checking the data provided by the smart brain, the gains in the command points column directly gave him a shock.

Today, four squads struck from all sides, harvesting 403,624 command points in a single day!

An income of 400,000 command points in one day was already an astronomical figure for other countries!

Of the 400,000 command points, 150,000 were harvested by Ranger Squad 1 in the Wild Forest.

130,000 were taken by Ranger Squad 2 in the southern part of the Insect Hive Forest, and the remaining 120,000 were taken by the 1st and 2nd Expeditionary Armies together at the Eye of the Earth.

From the acquisition of command points, it could also be seen that the command points drop rate of the Insect Swarm was far greater than that of other Xenomorphs.

And the Fusion species currently existing in the Wild Forest could drop even more command points than the Insect Swarm in the Insect Hive Forest.

The primary task after possessing so many command points was, of course, upgrading.

Upgrading was not only to deal with the increasingly powerful Insect Swarm, but also to resolve the Three-Party Alliance faster.

The battle with the Three-Party Alliance had now reached its climax; as long as they took Japan.

Taking this central pivot point of the Three-Party Alliance would completely shatter their Alliance.

The speed must be fast; if too much time passed, it would leave them room to maneuver.

Relying on this wave of command points, he would give his troops a massive upgrade!

Su Yang opened the Thousand Mechanism Tower panel and, without a word, invested a Legendary-grade Heart of the Hive.

Today, Ranger Squad 2 destroyed two Insect Hives in the southern forest and obtained two Hearts of the Hive.

After being boosted by strategy, the quality of both Hearts of the Hive was improved—one Legendary, one Expert.

[ Use item Heart of the Hive, reduce research time required by 5d ]

[ Elementary Anti-Gravity Technology research completed ]

[ Advanced Propulsion Technology completed ]

[ Building Xuan Niao Aerospace Institute unlocked ]

Xuan Niao Aerospace Institute, the long-dreamt-of aerial units had finally arrived!!

Su Yang's eyes flickered as he brought up the blueprint for the Xuan Niao Aerospace Institute.

The foundation of the Xuan Niao Aerospace Institute's blueprint was even more massive, several times larger than the Gongshu Heavy Weaponry Camp.

Its footprint already exceeded the originally demarcated range of the territory.

Such a massive building certainly could not be placed within the territory, so Su Yang climbed the northern city wall and placed the Xuan Niao Aerospace Institute outside the perimeter of the wall.

Now that the radar detection range within the territory had reached 100 kilometers, Su Yang was not worried about attacks even if the building was placed on the periphery.

Boom---

With a huge, earth-shaking sound, the massive foundation of the Xuan Niao Aerospace Institute was placed.

Subsequently, countless steel rods, gears, and transmission devices began to assemble with each other.

The blueprint's light blue structural lines gradually dissipated, replaced by pitch-black steel Materials.

Hum hum hum---

When the Xuan Niao Aerospace Institute finally took shape, its massive base levitated just like the lords residence previously.

This levitation directly drained the power from other buildings within the territory; it wasn't until the base landed that the power was restored.

The Xuan Niao Aerospace Institute landed with a crash, kicking up countless dust.

The appearance of this massive steel building resembled a giant tripod.

This giant tripod had a smaller base, with a larger platform on top.

The tripod body was entirely pitch-black, adorned with vermilion and gold lines.

The sides were imprinted with various intricate patterns, the most exciting of which for Su Yang was the lifelike Phoenix as if it were soaring into the sky.

The upper part of the Aerospace Institute was a huge flight platform, twice as large as the base area.

However, although the flight platform was large, it was far from reaching the length of a modern aircraft runway.

Therefore, if there were no surprises, the Aerospace Institute's anti-gravity aircraft would not need a runway at all.

They could complete vertical takeoffs and landings, just like when the lords residence was upgraded!

Su Yang could no longer suppress his inner anticipation and directly opened the Xuan Niao Aerospace Institute panel.
