Chapter 3777, prepare with both hands
Out of caution, Zhou Yi naturally planned to make two preparations.
He wants to build a frontline planet base on the front line, and then find a hidden location to build a void base just in case.
In this way, the first thing he needs to determine is the location of the planet base. The subsequent void base will be built in accordance with the location of the planet base.
At this time, the benefits of exploring steadily all the way are revealed.
Zhou Yi and the others basically have a relatively complete understanding of this star field.
On the star map that has been compiled so far, according to Zhou Yi's judgment, there are three planets suitable for them to build frontline bases.
Planet No. 1 is the closest to the star field where they encountered the mechanical civilization patrol fleet and fought.
At the same time, if there are no accidents, this planet should be the closest to the border of mechanical civilization.
If their combined army wants to take the initiative and suppress the situation in this battle, then the nearest planet No. 1 should be the best choice, so that they can attack at any time and kill the mechanical civilization in the shortest time.
Beyond the border.
On the contrary, Planet Three is the farthest location from the border of mechanical civilization.
There is a buffer zone far enough between Planet Three and the border of mechanical civilization.
At that time, even if the border garrison of mechanical civilization takes the initiative to attack, they will have enough reaction time to respond.
Of course, this will also have an impact when they take the initiative.
But it doesn't matter.
Their main purpose, to put it bluntly, is to 'contain'. If they can succeed, the better. If they fail to succeed, Zhou Yi and the others have nothing to worry about.
As long as their army is pressed here, harassing the mechanical civilization's side of the border from time to time, forcing the mechanical civilization to mobilize its army for garrison, and then not daring to mobilize its army away, then their goal has actually been achieved.
As for Planet No. 2, the one in the middle of the card can be regarded as a position that can be attacked when advancing and defended when retreating. It is a position that is neither far nor near.
Speaking of which, it's a suitable location.
However, after a few brief discussions, Zhou Yi and Du Yuanzhi finally decided to build the frontline base on Planet Three.
Even if the mechanical civilization knows that they are actually just putting on a show and have no intention of actually attacking, what can they do?
If the other party dares to transfer the border garrison troops, then according to Zhou Yi's methods, he can fake it in a minute, directly press the border with the army, and conquer the border of this mechanical civilization in one go.
After confirming the plan, the retreating coalition army quickly arrived at Planet Three under the command of Zhou Yi.
As early as when this planet was discovered, Zhou Yi had already sent out exploration troops to carry out detection missions inside the planet.
Now Zhou Yi basically knows everything about the situation on this planet.
After the dwarfs' void mobile base was officially established, with this base as the core, the coalition army began to move in. At the same time, the infrastructure work of this frontline base also started as quickly as possible.
This person is on the front line, facing the enemy's border garrison. He can't hide for long just by hiding. The most important thing is to quickly start the infrastructure work so that they can build a home field advantage in the front line area.
For this reason, the engineering troops of the three races, the dwarves, the goblins and the humans, are also working at full strength, 24 hours a day, in a two-shift rush mode, working day and night, striving to complete the planet as quickly as possible
Within the base, the construction of defense facilities.
During this period, Zhou Yida was not prepared to leave the No. 2 planet empty.
Although he did not plan to build a front-line base on the second planet, it is still possible to send one or two troops there to build an early warning outpost on the second planet.
With the outpost on Planet 2, they can also more quickly confirm the movements of the mechanical civilization's border garrison.
As for Planet No. 1...
It's too close. If the mechanical civilization suddenly launches a sudden attack, the outpost on Planet 1 may not have time to react and will be wiped out in one wave.
Be careful, it's much safer on Planet 2.
After giving all the instructions that needed to be given in the initial stage, Zhou Yi, who had temporarily come to an end of the work at hand, began to report the situation to Luo Ji through the faith network.
So far, the entire task has been carried out very smoothly.
Even in a strict sense, their mission had just begun, and it was far from the time for Luo Ji to worry about it.
Next, it depends on whether they can successfully carry out the containment mission outside the border of this mechanical civilization.
Of course, before that, infrastructure work needs to be done first.
According to Zhou Yi's idea, in the next half year, he has no plans to do anything else and will concentrate on building infrastructure for the frontline planet base.
He will wait until the infrastructure work begins to take shape before taking further action.
Anyway, they are not in a hurry this time.
But it is a pity that the border garrison of mechanical civilization is in a hurry!
Facing the newly arrived coalition army and the mechanically civilized border garrison, how could it be possible for them to safely build bases there and toss around defense facilities?
Within a week, traces of the mechanical civilization fleet were discovered at the outpost of Planet No. 2.
Before they could get close to Planet 3, Du Yuanzhi, who had confirmed the situation, had already commanded his troops to deal with it.
In this wave, the offensive intensity of the mechanical civilization and border garrison troops is still very high.
It is clear that he does not want the combined army of civilizations from all over the world to be stationed smoothly on the front line.
But Zhou Yi and the others are not vegetarians. According to the current strength of their Ten Thousand Worlds Civilization, coupled with Zhao Heng's orc army, they will not be wiped out by the border garrison of the mechanical civilization.
In the following period of time, Zhou Yi and Du Yuanzhi basically fended off the offensive of mechanical civilization while taking their time to do the infrastructure work on their frontline planet.
The pressure is relatively high, but it is still within their ability to cope.
Moreover, after they confirmed the location of the frontline base, along with the acquisition of interstellar coordinates, their follow-up troops of the civilization of all worlds have also set off.
At the same time, Zhong Mo undoubtedly received news from Luo Ji, knowing that their combined army of civilizations from all realms had arrived.
