Chapter 9 Chapter 15: High-value insect eggs
After transforming multiple worm eggs to obtain the same number of energy points, Lin Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that 1 worm egg was worth 1 energy point.

Next, he didn't hesitate to transform all the eggs, and got a total of 314 points of energy.

There can be 31 pikemen in all productions, which greatly improves the overall strength.

Of course, it is impossible for Lin Xiao to clone all the pikemen. He has no iron now and needs workers to mine it.

If you want the existing infrastructure to operate stably, you need at least 20 workers, which is 200 energy points.

After Lin Xiao thought about it, he only planned to clone 10 workers. At present, 25 workers can still maintain the operation, after all, there are not many troops.

For the remaining energy points, Lin Xiao is going to clone short sword soldiers, which only need 10 energy points just like pike soldiers.

But making a knife requires more iron than a spear, and as a basic unit, it is not as cost-effective as a spearman.

Lin Xiao was also a little hesitant, but short-sword soldiers were better than long-pike soldiers. For example, short-sword soldiers were better than long-pike soldiers in a scattered formation.

There are not many plains in the east, and the closer to the colonial warships, the more mountains there are. It is difficult to form a formation. In addition, there are not enough people now, and it is impossible to form a decent formation.

Moreover, the threat of knives to ant monsters is much higher than that of guns. You must know that the weakness of ant monsters is insect eyes. If you want to kill ant monsters in seconds, you can only stab the head, and ant monsters will not stick their heads out.

The pikemen basically stabbed the ant monster in its abdomen, and then crushed the internal organs inside, so as to kill the ant monster. This process took a certain amount of time.

But if it was replaced with a knife, the body of the ant monster is not strong. Lin Xiao tried to cut the ant monster in half with a knife. Even if he didn't die, he lost his fighting power.

This made him have to think about short sword soldiers.

The iron needed by the short sword soldiers is something that Lin Xiao needs to consider. After all, he tries to make the best armor for his soldiers to avoid casualties. After all, a soldier needs 10 points of energy, and if one dies, even if he wins, he will lose money.

Lin Xiao cloned 10 workers without immediately cloning short-sword soldiers. He went to see the iron mine first, and then made plans if the output was sufficient.

Overnight, 10 workers were cloned. Since they had no clothes, they had to wear grass skirts to hide their shame.

The clothing problem still needs to be solved as soon as possible, not only to cover up the shame, but also to make armor.

Although the half body armor is good, it consumes too much iron. It is okay to equip each soldier for a small number of people, but it cannot afford it for a large number of soldiers.

Lin Xiao first took the workers to a place 1 km to the east to see the iron ore. Without relevant equipment, manpower mining can yield 1 kilograms of iron ore for refining steel in one day, and there will definitely be more in the future. 10 days to dig the mine.

But in this way, there are not many manpower to make weapons and armor, and it will take at least 10 days to equip all soldiers.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. Lin Xiao frowned and thought about it. He found that he was a little too impatient and urgently wanted to develop his military power.

After all, this is about his life and death, and it would be impatient to put it on anyone.

Judging from the current situation, the expansion of the army can be postponed, and it will not be too late to expand the army after laying the foundation first.

Now there are no ant monsters coming to trouble him, and those ant monsters seem to be breeding, and they only stay in one place. As long as he doesn't run around, he shouldn't get into trouble.

And he had an idea, since the value of ant monster eggs is so high, he can use himself as bait to lure the ant monster away, and then send someone to steal the eggs.

This plan is not difficult to realize. After Lin Xiao observed, he found that the speed of the ant monsters was slower than his own, and with the crawler transport vehicles, he could completely throw them off.

After he figured it out, he gave up the idea of ​​​​immediately expanding the army, and started to develop first.

The remaining energy points directly clone 20 workers, and the remaining 14 points clone a scout, which is convenient for intelligence work.

Lin Xiao did not move the iron ore for the time being. Now that the number of people has increased, the colonial warships are not enough.

Moreover, the colonial warships are full of high-precision equipment. He doesn't want the workers to bump into each other during activities, and there is no place to repair them if they are broken.

Building civilian houses is a must, and barracks also need to be built for soldiers to train.

Although these soldiers obeyed his orders, they were still a little emotional, such as when they asked him to do things that were not his own.

After all, he was in a bad mood and the efficiency was still very low. Three soldiers could not equal the workload of one worker.

This is not to say that they are not good soldiers, they are still very brave in their jobs, and they are not afraid of death.

In the end, Lin Xiao still had to take care of the emotions of these soldiers. Even if these soldiers obeyed his orders, he didn't know if they would continue to obey like this.

You must know that the manual of the armory cabin clearly indicates that if the clones are allowed to do work other than their own for a long time, there is a chance of desertion and mutiny.

In addition to doing work other than your own, this phenomenon can also occur when you are starving.

These are human nature, even machines can erase them all.

This is also one of the reasons why Lin Xiao gave up the expansion of the army. He didn't want to make himself unable to afford it because of the expansion of the army, and eventually defected.

You must know that workers have much less food than soldiers. They have no sense of fighting by nature, and their force value is very low. Even if they flee, he can suppress them.

After the workers were cloned, Lin Xiao immediately sent 15 people to the west to cut down trees and build wooden houses and barracks.

20 people went to dig iron, coal and limestone, and the last 10 people were responsible for making saws, nails and other tools needed to build wooden houses with the little iron left.

The current shortage is cloth, and many workers wear grass skirts, but there are no plants in this area that can make cloth, not even linen.

Lin Xiao searched here from the perspective of God, but still found nothing. He didn't want to be here by Buka.

Fortunately, after searching patiently, he finally found several plants that could be used as materials in the west, but he still needs to see the finished product.

Lin Xiao directly took two tree-cutting workers to go there in person, not very far from the colonial battleship, and they will arrive in a while.

When he came to the site, Lin Xiao asked two workers to take a look. After they tested it, they shook their heads and said that it was not suitable for weaving.

After looking at several kinds of plants, I still found 5 kinds of plants, 3 of which are very few in number. I don’t know if it’s because the reproductive ability is not strong. If so, I can only give up.

The remaining two are more common, one looks like hemp, and the other looks like cotton, but they are so small that Lin Xiao can hardly recognize them.

Based on the amount of this cotton alone, it is not bad to be able to weave enough cloth to make two or three clothes.

"I almost forgot, I can use a gene recombiner to change the genes of these plants, and maybe increase their yield!" Lin Xiao thought suddenly.

He doesn't know anything about breeding, and the simple and violent equipment like gene recombiner is just suitable for him.

Dig up some of these five plants, and asked the two workers to cut the rest back to weave. Lin Xiao rushed back to the colonial battleship in high spirits.

After accumulation, there are already 5 ordinary-level dark matter energy blocks, which can be used 5 times.

In addition to these, you also need to guide the gene, Lin Xiao must use the right one, and the dense weeds outside are exactly his goal.

The elongated weeds have a strong reproductive ability, almost all of them occupy this area, and none of the other types of plants can be seen.

Moreover, their growth rate is also very fast. Lin Xiao asked workers to cut enough weeds some time ago, and new shoots have emerged in a short time, and a large piece will grow within a month.

Extracting their reproductive ability and transplanting them into these five plants became Lin Xiao's goal.
