Chapter 119: How about eating Zerg?
"You were given something, but you didn't accept it."
"But it's okay now. You can earn your own money and buy it yourself."
"The frontline in your western theater is very dangerous. You must prepare enough weapons and ammunition."
"By the way, how many weapons and equipment do you want to buy this time? I'll tell He Ran later."
Su Yi smiled.
"No need for you to relay it. I've already contacted He Ran before calling you."
Just as Su Yue was about to speak, Su Yi continued, "Don't worry, I won't risk my own safety or the safety of my brothers."
"Our business of buying and selling star beast corpses is doing quite well now. I won't be reluctant to spend the money I make."
"As for you, the Jin family is developing so fast, so there must be a lot of things going on."
"You should take good rest on a regular basis. If you can assign tasks to your subordinates, do it. Don't push them all by yourself."
Su Yue felt warm in his heart.
"Um."
"By the way, has Di Kun contacted you during this period?" Su Yi continued to ask.
"Yes, we video chat every day." Su Yue replied, knowing that his elder brother was worried about him.
"That's good."
"He is a husband and a father. Even if he is not here physically, his heart should be with you."
"When he calls, you should also pay more attention to him."
"Although the southern theater is relatively peaceful now, there are still occasional fierce battles."
"Especially, the insect tide may be approaching. When that happens, the pressure will increase in every war zone."
"The insect tide is coming?!" Su Yue was a little surprised.
The insect swarm occurs approximately every twenty years, and each outbreak lasts from one to five years.
During this period, the Zerg will invade the empire's territory on a large scale, pollute the land, and exterminate all plants and animals in the land they occupy.
The insect tide is more terrifying than the star beast tide. The death and damage rate of soldiers and mechas during the insect tide is almost ten times that of normal times.
It would be better if the insect tide period could be shorter. If it is too long, the current empire may not be able to withstand such a great consumption.
You know, the last insect swarm lasted only two years, and it drained the national treasury. The royal family also borrowed a lot of money from abroad.
This is also the biggest reason why, after more than ten years, the royal family has still not recovered.
"Yeah. There are some signs already."
"Although it has not been officially announced yet, I estimate it will take about the next six months to a year."
"By the way, Planet DQ008 is not far from the border. You'd better make some arrangements."
Su Yue frowned.
"Yeah. Brother, I understand."
The brother and sister talked for a while before ending the call.
In the evening, when Di Kun called him via video, Su Yue asked about the insect tide.
"Is the insect swarm really coming soon?" Su Yue asked Di Kun.
Di Kun was stunned at first, then gave Su Yue a positive answer.
"Yes. It is estimated to take more than half a year."
Su Yue's heart tightened.
The time estimated by the eldest brother is the same as Di Kun’s.
"and you--"
"Don't worry, the First Army is in good financial condition right now. The soldiers eat natural ingredients produced by the Jin family every day, and their strength is steadily improving."
"Tao Fu is already arranging the production and stockpiling of weapons, ammunition and equipment. When the war comes, we will be able to deal with it calmly."
When fighting a big war, the goal is to consume the resources.
This time, he was really not afraid of the insect tide.
Thinking of something, Di Kun said, "By the way, during the insect tide, the star beasts basically do not invade. By then, I am afraid it will be difficult for the Jin family to receive the star beast corpses from the four major armies."
If it was just a few months, he felt that it would have little impact on the Jin family.

Su Yue was stunned for a moment.
"I have an idea." He said suddenly.
Di Kun looked at Su Yue with an inquiring look and motioned for her to speak.
"Zerg, perhaps, can also be eaten."
She had had this idea for a long time, but she just never mentioned it.
She had looked up the Zerg in Interstellar on Starnet.
Their appearance was somewhat similar to some creatures she had seen before the end of the world.
However, this similarity is far less than the similarity between star beasts and poultry or natural wild animals.
For example, the mutant chickens in the wild still look similar to normal chickens, except that they are ten times larger in size.
The Zerg look similar to seafood in the sea, but they are somewhat different.
For example, the Clamp Zerg among the Zerg.
They look a bit like crabs, and like crabs, they have big claws and some small legs.
But the pincers have one pair of large pincers more than crabs, and their waists are thick in front and back and slender in the middle.
Perhaps she shouldn't have compared the claw worm to a crab; after all, it is a bit like a lobster.
There are also the Ten Thousand Hands Zerg.
The Ten-Thousand-Handed Zerg is a bit like an octopus, but its body shape is like a centipede.
Just like its name, the Ten Thousand Hands Zerg has an astonishing number of tentacles, and can regenerate broken limbs. Its only weakness is its head, making it one of the most difficult Zerg races to deal with.
In short, she was not sure whether the Zerg were alienated seafood.
But even if the Zerg's predecessor was not seafood, it might still be edible.
After all, she can purify the toxins in the Zerg's body. Logically speaking, the meat without toxins should be edible, right?
Of course, she couldn't control the taste.
Di Kun was shocked by Su Yue's words.
Eat Zerg?
Since the Zerg appeared in the interstellar space, no one has ever had such an idea.
The meat of the Zerg is more poisonous than the meat of star beasts.
When the corpses of the star beasts rot on the spot, they will at most pollute the environment.
As the Zerg corpses rot, no plants will grow around them for several years or even more than ten years.
But when he thought of his wife's abilities, Di Kun became a little uncertain again.
Can the flesh of Zerg be eaten? It seems... not impossible.
After all, star beast meat was not edible before.
But after my wife purified it, it turned out that the meat of the star beasts could be eaten, and it tasted better than the meat of natural animals.
"Well...how about that, I kill a few and send them back, and you try to purify them?" Di Kun said after thinking about it.
Even in normal times, there are Zerg on some planets outside the border.
It’s just that the number of Zerg is relatively small, or sometimes they are not easy to find.
But just because it’s hard to find doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
If he goes into the war zone to look for it, he should be able to get it.
"Hunt some of each kind. I'll test them out after I get them back."
"If the meat quality is okay, I can find Minister He and ask him to design the corresponding processing equipment in advance. Then I can ask Director Tao to place an order."
"After that, when the insect swarm comes, Jin's can open the production line directly."
Once the Zerg tide breaks out, the number of Zerg will be no match for the star beast tide.
If the Zerg meat can be used, the purchase volume of Jin's meat products will not only not decline, but will increase, and increase significantly.
"Yeah." Di Kun's eyes were full of anticipation.
If my wife's idea could come true, then the next insect swarm would not be so scary.
Perhaps, everyone will look at the Zerg differently again.
