In the very beginning, starting from the Pioneer Fleet's third jump.
Every time Chen Ming made a jump, he would dismantle the earliest jump's base.
Because he didn't have enough resources to sustain them, nor enough Dusk to manage so many bases.
But starting from the seventh jump—the one where he was forced to jump because of the Mechanical Race.
Chen Ming's situation became different; he was no longer constrained by base resources.
So from that jump onward, all subsequent temporary bases could be left in place.
And the Insect Race, sailing along with the Pioneer Fleet and expanding outward from these temporary bases, could concentrate all valuable materials they mined during expansion at those bases.
The advantages of centralized management go without saying.
Not only did it make it easy for Chen Ming to directly call on them with Spiritual Energy.
