The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 1220 - 422: Planetary Fortress Renovation Proposal (6k)
A planet-sized organism—Bai Yi had encountered it before, and she had even cultivated such beings herself, more than once.
Whether it was Yuktrahill, now extending into outer space from within her territory, or the planet already transformed into a hive, almost becoming a part of her body, both were of this caliber.
However, if it were to serve as a territory, it certainly couldn’t be used for warfare.
Thus, she had never entertained such a notion.
Now, having once again acquired a life planet, Bai Yi’s mind immediately became active, thinking of this megastructure that had appeared in numerous films and heard of within the current Three Great Civilizations.
It’s said that within the armies of the Three Great Civilizations, such megastructures were rare and truly the core of the core.
Not only did it possess a Star Destroyer Cannon capable of easily guiding a star’s demise, but it was also a planet-level factory and production base.
In necessary situations, it could meet all logistical needs for a war.
She was able to obtain this intelligence because of her relationship with the Three Great Civilizations.
During her previous tour of the starry sky, the Three Great Civilizations, wishing to express friendliness, had invited her to visit their military and had shown her such planet-sized warships.
Thus, she had come to possess what should have been top-secret basic information on these warships.
If she could acquire a megastructure of that level...
Following this thought, Bai Yi deduced that it would undoubtedly be hugely beneficial for the future of her Insect Swarm.
As for how to transform it, Bai Yi recalled the many technologies she possessed, and this was not a difficult task.
"To become the planet warship of the Insect Swarm, it must undergo targeted transformations to suit the Insect Swarm.
At the same time, its distinctive characteristics must not be lost; we must preserve what is special about this planet as much as possible.
Otherwise, transforming this planet would be no different from transforming a regular planet.
And what is most important about this planet is probably the magical environment that has developed the Card Master system.
According to current superpower exploration of life on this planet and external manifestations, it’s certain that it specializes in the spiritual series of the Transcendent, and transformation can only proceed in this direction.
Perhaps, we can rely on this planet’s Spiritual Ability to make it a massive infinite signal source, serving as the core node of the Insect Swarm network?"
An idea formed in Bai Yi’s mind as she recalled the trouble she had recently encountered.
Currently, the biological network of the Insect Swarm is indeed strong, but its connection range is too close, and this is a massive flaw.
Ordinary Insect Swarms have a connection range of only a few dozens to a few hundred meters, and for the Fungus Blanket, it’s even shorter; if they’re not almost touching, it’s difficult to connect the signals.
Even though there are now corresponding Fungus Carpet Buildings, the range has a hard time covering the planet.
While on the surface, this biological network might perform extraordinarily, once in the starry sky...
This was why she initially sought the power of the Faith System, constructing a church communication network centered on the witch, to serve as a supplement to the biological network, acting as a "wireless phone" for communication between planet-level biological networks.
Although the network of Teleportation Gates built by the Portal Giant Tree has greatly mitigated this drawback, that too must take the planet as a node.
If the scale of future war escalates to the starry sky, her Insect Swarm would face the plight of losing contact.
Even though large Insect Swarm Fleets could establish large churches internally, allowing those Red Moon Church believers to maintain with the power of faith, it’s ultimately not possible to extend this to smaller units.
And in war, especially interstellar war, it’s never merely a battle between fleets.
Moreover, if it were a head-to-head confrontation, her Insect Swarm couldn’t compete, which is why she needed to ponder her current plan.
Focusing more on small unit harassment, rather than large fleet confrontation.
If she could transform this life planet into a large node of the biological network, equipping it with communication capabilities similar to the church’s faith network’s beyond line-of-sight...
Even if the range is not as extensive, reducing it a bit would still be acceptable!
Bai Yi decisively set this as one of the focuses of transformation, but a planet-level warship could certainly not just serve as a signal base station.
The combat power aspect itself could not be ignored.
"Now that it has gained its consciousness, it means it can manipulate the magic power, compressing it to the planet’s surface, even drawing it internally.
It no longer needs to dissipate so freely that it wraps around the planet.
And once that viscous magic power disappears, heavy artillery on the planet’s surface can also be put forward.
Hmm, maybe something could be done with those Spiritual Abilities.
Though the Card Master system cannot be used externally, if it’s just for the planet’s own defense, it could be utilized a bit..."
Following this direction, Bai Yi immediately thought of several applicable transformation methods.
However, the specifics of the implementation would have to wait for actual testing to decide, after all, no one knows if something unexpected will occur in the middle, or if there might be new discoveries.
"By the way, continuously calling you Life Planet isn’t ideal; as a future planet warship, you should have a name.
The future mothership of the Insect Clan, which can also disguise itself as the Red Moon spoken of by the Red Moon believers, although calling you ’Red Moon’ directly might be inappropriate, so I’ll name you ’Lilith,’ Lilith-class Planet Mothership!"
