Astral Ants

Stellar fusion provides light and heat, which can save a lot of original energy for the Black Dharma to simulate various world environments.

The injuries of the Heifetle have not yet healed, but constructing a star system and a real world with cosmic solid matter inside can also accelerate its healing rate to a certain extent.

The star system plan proposed by Heifa is to build a star with a diameter of 150 million kilometers, and around the star, build 38 mining stars with diameters ranging from 12 to 15 kilometers, with different material structures and orbits of different heights.

The project is quite huge.

However, the third-level source point of the Tree Anthology is located inside the gaseous material cloud, and collecting it nearby can save a lot of transportation time.

...

Bai Wei is responsible for the transportation of soldiers, making a round trip every 30 years or so.

10 soldiers on one trip,
The second batch, the third batch, the fourth batch...

Every 15 Zerg warriors are organized into an engineering fleet, boarding five Buzzard 5-type survival motherships, with one captain and nine deputy captains to coordinate the operations.

The engineering team is growing rapidly.

The Shuhua First Joint Engineering Fleet was formed.

The Shuhua Second Joint Engineering Fleet was formed.

The Shuhua Third Joint Engineering Fleet team completed...

Time flies,

It took 75 years.
The Shuhua First Joint Engineering Fleet, which was the first to complete the team formation, created the first gas planet with a diameter of 10 kilometers.

Long Bai personally took to the battlefield, activated the ability control, and 15 Zerg warriors worked together to move the planet and drift closer to the Black Law.

The Heifetz unfolded a special teleportation portal with a diameter of 1000 kilometers.

Yu Teng assisted and used his "Order Time and Space" ability to create a spiral space-time tunnel that connected to the teleportation portal.

On the surface of the gaseous planet, gaseous matter was peeled off at high speed, pulled by gravity, and rapidly rotated into the transmission portal and disappeared.

A gas transport channel that leads directly to the four-dimensional world space of the Black Dharma.

In the center of the Black Law, hovering was a black metal ball with a diameter of more than 300 meters: the insect-made star core.

Providing a gravitational force 20 times that of a regular planet in the natural god system.

The teleportation portal opened, and dense gas was ejected from the portal and was immediately captured by the insect-made star core.

Nebula cypress, purple brake, thorny catalpa, red fruit, wild cherry and other insects, with three thousand Xianglan Chamber of Commerce soldiers, were waiting nearby, using their abilities to push the small amount of escaped gas into the gravitational zone of the star core and using their ice abilities to cool it down.

Black Law Extra,

Derris continues to use its abilities to peel off and extract gaseous matter from the gas planet and send it into the teleportation portal.

Inside the Black Horn,

As the gas planet grows rapidly, the gas in the central area is compressed into liquid and then cooled into solid by ice power.

Lasted two months.
A gas planet with a diameter of 10 kilometers was successfully transferred to the four-dimensional space and stably hovered in the center of the space.

...

15 years later,

The Shuhua Second Joint Engineering Fleet created a second gas planet with a diameter of 10 kilometers.

In the same way, the Black Dharma was teleported into the four-dimensional space and merged with the first planet.

The planet grew to a diameter of 12.4 kilometers.

...

15 years later,

The Shuhua Third Joint Engineering Fleet pulled out the third gas planet with a diameter of 10 kilometers and transmitted it into the central area of ​​the four-dimensional space.

The planet grew to a diameter of 14.3 kilometers, and its mass was large enough to remove the worm-shaped core. The planet's volume increased by more than 18 kilometers, but it did not explode, and there was no gas escaping from the surface.

...

The Molan transport ship cooperated with the White-Faced God to deliver 50 soldiers at a time.

On the side of the Tree Flower Constellation, the planned 300 million soldiers are all in place, 100 survival motherships, and tens of thousands of gravity ships of various sizes are all in operation, and the construction speed is maximized.

On average, every 30 months, a gaseous planet with a diameter of 10 kilometers condenses and is sent into the four-dimensional space of the Heifa.

The central gas planet rapidly increased in size, with a diameter of 20 kilometers, 30 kilometers, 40 kilometers...

When the planet is 55 kilometers away, the high temperature and high pressure inside the planet catalyze a fusion reaction.

A hazy red light emanates from the surface, and the nuclear fusion reaction inside is slow and stable.

Planet breakthrough, promotion to star!
The space with a diameter of 300 billion kilometers, looking from the virtual world of the space barrier, looks like just a tiny, weak red spot.

However, it was just this tiny point of light that brought the Black Dharma to a completely new look.

The Black Dharma had previously been in an incomplete and unhealthy state of "silence", giving the insect a feeling of weakness and desolation.

The stars lit up, and the space was filled with light and heat released by material energy. The entire Black Dharma space seemed to wake up all of a sudden, and the vitality of life was revived bit by bit.

Long Bai summoned 100,000 soldiers to work together to control and drive the star to rotate and rotate on its own, further stabilizing the internal material structure and fusion reaction.

Continue to input gaseous substances mainly composed of hydrogen and helium.

As the mass of the star increases, the internal pressure and temperature rise, the fusion reaction intensifies, and the light on the surface of the planet gradually becomes stronger and brighter.

The reality of the virtual world constructed by the Black Dharma closely following the space barrier is also growing synchronously little by little.

at the same time,

After the collected solid matter was classified, it was transmitted to the interior of the Black Law Hall, where it slowly accumulated and reached a certain amount.

The Nebula Cypress Organization, led by 3000 warriors of the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce, worked inside the Black Law to build a mining star.

...

In the constellation of Tree Flowers, the construction of the star system is on track.

Long Bai took some time and quickly rushed to the Qingqianliu seat to check the situation.

...

The situation with the Cyclocarya paliurus is completely different.
There is not much usable matter within a radius of 100 light years centered on the third-level source point.

24 light years away, there is a neutron star surrounded by a group of meteorites.

41 light years away, there is a star with a diameter of about 80 kilometers. However, when it was formed, it swallowed up a large amount of solid matter, so that it entered a decay cycle just after its birth.

At a distance of 56 light years, there is an irregularly shaped, low-density gas nebula.

Otherwise, there is no usable material within a hundred light years.

The engineering team was divided into four groups and took separate actions:

Some warriors collect meteorites around the neutron star and create mining stars.

Some of the warriors who are in the Su realm or focus on fire and are immune to high temperatures of flames, enter the core of the star to dig and clean up the heavy matter inside the star. The development and utilization of this star can save a lot of man-hours.

Some of them go to gaseous nebulae, collect gaseous matter, and condense into gaseous planets with a diameter of 20 kilometers to replenish the mass of stars.

Some of them went to a mass of matter 127 light years away, collected meteorites and asteroids, and built a planet with life.

The 101 million warriors coming from Star Field No. 150 are definitely not enough, and Yudou and Caolong are continuing to recruit.

Looking back, after all the stars are built, it will be necessary to hire a professional fleet of flame spiders at a huge price to come and help, activate the "stellar interstellar gate", and move them back to their positions.

...

The Tubber headed straight for the star, hovered over the North Pole, and looked down from a distance.

Ten Kingbird 10 survival motherships are orbiting the star, and 30 soldiers are busy working in an orderly manner.

Red molten magma balls with a diameter of thousands of kilometers were sent out from the star. Many warriors worked together, used their ice abilities to cool them down, and pushed them into a distant orbit around the star.

In front of the huge star, the Zerg warriors are tiny and almost invisible, and these magma balls are like drops of water floating in the vast ocean, insignificant.

Digging and transporting the materials bit by bit is a difficult and long project.

30 insects are not enough.

Long Bai took a look and knew what was going on.

A few spots of light flickered, and Bai Wei arrived via space teleportation with Hongtao, Nandi, Qingtao, Zhuban, and Wenjing.

"Leader Longbai!"

"Leader Longbai!"

"..."

The insects greeted.

"President Bai Wei, how many soldiers are participating in the Qingqianliu Project?"

"It's almost 220 million. Soldiers are relatively easy to recruit, but there aren't enough fighters who meet the requirements, have the skills, and can do the work of star cleaning."

Bai Wei reported in detail: "Currently, there are only 30 soldiers here. 120 million soldiers are responsible for collecting gaseous substances. Soldiers orbiting neutron stars and collecting planets, and 30 are building mining stars."

"In addition, 127 light years away, the Amber Chamber of Commerce named the super-large material group 'Double Electric Ray', which currently has only 9 warriors..."

Long Bai thought quickly and estimated, then he moved his antennae and said, "There's no need to rush. We can just recruit 1500 million warriors in the next 300 years."

"Yes--"

Bai Wei looked at Zhu Ban and said, "There is one more thing..."

Zhuban asked, "Captain Longbai, do you still remember Xiazhu? She is Qiye's direct descendant. She ate Shanglu fruit when she was on the mother planet. She also has a very high talent in space. After entering the starry sky, she was directly selected by the Luoli Chamber of Commerce and arranged for special training."

Long Bai: "..."

The old-fashioned seventh-level chambers of commerce would select young Flame Spider warriors with high spatial talents and provide them with the best resources and the best teachings. Before these warriors reached the Star Realm, they did not have to do anything but focus on learning and evolving...

Xia Zhu not only has good talent, but also has great luck. When she was in the 4th stage of the evolutionary star realm, she also realized the "Star Gate". In addition, Xia Zhu was influenced by Cao Wu and Qi Ye since she was a child. She has a calm personality and is efficient. The top management of Luo Li Chamber of Commerce highly values ​​her and promoted her to a core executive of level 18. Her rank and status directly surpass those of Cao Wu, Qi Ye, and Luo Li...

Long Bai touched his antennae: "Of course I remember. When Xia Zhu was promoted and left the Baijing Galaxy, she went to Fenglun Star to visit me. Xia Zhu should be in charge of the Luoli Chamber of Commerce's major star system engineering project now?"

"Yes--"

Zhu Ban said: "Xia Zhu is the deputy captain of the 'First Fleet Flagship Black Crown'. While dispatching and directing the construction of star systems, she is also responsible for moving stars."

Zhuban said, "Isn't it just what you need? I asked around, but the prices were ridiculously expensive. Xiazhu introduced me to their 'Captain of the Golden Bird', and after negotiation, I think the price is barely acceptable..." Longbai asked, "How much?"

Zhu Ban said, "Two million Chaos Stones, all projects of Qingqianliu will be covered! The quotes from other chambers of commerce that I have inquired about are all over three million."

In the White Crystal Galaxy, the price for moving a star is about 30 Chaos Ore.

The overall situation in the Amber Galaxy is that both commodity prices and labor costs are ridiculously high. The Flame Spider Chamber of Commerce still has a bottom line. The 300 million offer is only 10 times the price. The 200 million offer is to give Xia Zhu face, which is absolutely a family price...

Long Bai agreed directly: "Okay! Zhuban, you are responsible for this. Wait until all 300 million Zerg warriors are in place, make comprehensive considerations, estimate the progress of the project, and make an appointment with Captain Jinque and Xia Zhu for an approximate time. You can pay first and sign the contract."

Zhuban: "Understood!"

Longbai asked, "Didn't Qiye and Caowu come?"

Zhuban: “No.”

Zhu Ban took the initiative to say: "I have inquired in detail, and the two old presidents Hai Yu and Gan Sui who are familiar with us have not come. The work of Luoli Chamber of Commerce in the Amber Galaxy is fully responsible by President Yin Xiang..."

In the Amber Galaxy, Longbai now has the absolute strength to support the spiders with whom he has a close relationship to get promoted in the Luoli Chamber of Commerce, but unfortunately, all the insects, including Luoli, were left in the White Crystal Galaxy...

The only one who came was Xia Zhu, who was in charge of the star system construction project.

Longbai and Baiwei are planning to build a super engineering team consisting of more than 1200 million Zerg warriors. In the future, there may be a bit of competition among them...

"I know. I have met Yin Xiang, the president of Luoli Chamber of Commerce..."

Long Bai thought for two seconds and said, "Zhu Ban, Wen Jing, I will assign you another task. Dispatch a group of smart and talking Flame Spider warriors to form a sales team. Go find those Level 5 and Level 6 Chambers of Commerce that have the ability to cross-galaxy long-distance transportation and communicate with them to promote the technological products of the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce... Mainly promote the survival mothership!"

Zhuban: "Understood!"

Zhuban: "Captain Longbai, I need detailed performance data, and it would be best if I could have samples..."

"Yes! It is a new 'Shuhua Series' that is optimized and improved based on the original 'Molan Series Survival Carrier'. Zhuban, Wenjing, follow me. There is a sample ship equipped with corresponding landing ships and engineering ships. You will take it back to the Lingxiao star system for display and visits."

"As for the fees, we are consistent with Lord Manchi and Lord Baba. The customized chamber of commerce provides the raw materials, and we charge a 20% 'processing loss fee'. For each deal, I will give % of the 'processing loss fee' to the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce as a sales commission."

"But this 50% does not mean that it will all be given to you as commission. When you negotiate, you can give appropriate and flexible discounts, understand?"

"Understand!"

"understand!"

Zhu Ban and Wen Jing agreed unanimously.

Zhuban raised his claws and asked, "Captain Longbai, can the sample mothership be sent to the Manchi star system..."

"nonsense!"

Long Bai said unhappily, "The Manchi star system is the territory of the Manchi Lord, who is also engaged in the technology manufacturing business. Isn't this the same as running to the Manchi Lord's territory to steal its business? Do you think it will agree?"

"I know……"

Zhuban: "I'm just trying to ask... open market, free trade. Besides, don't you have a good relationship with Lord Manchi, Chief Longbai?"

"It's not free trade. Lord Manchi is very reluctant to have other bugs compete with him for business."

"Two different chambers of commerce, two different forces. When they have common interests, they are close friends. When there is competition for interests, they are in opposition and become enemies. Zhuban, don't be so naive in the future."

"Also, why did I ask you to look for Level 5 and Level 6 Chambers of Commerce? Because, at present, we are in an absolutely weak position in the field of technological manufacturing. The orders of Level 7 and Level 8 Chambers of Commerce have long been taken away by Lord Manchi and Lord Baba."

Long Bai said, waving his paw, looking at Bai Wei, changing the subject, and asked: "President Bai Wei, the engineering project here is basically on track. The remaining 80 soldiers can be recruited and transferred slowly, so..."

Bai Wei: "I was just about to say that if there is nothing else, Baimianshen and I should pack up and set off back to the Baijing Galaxy. This time when I go back, I will arrange the work in the Baijing Galaxy. This is the last trip..."

"From now on, Tianjie will be in charge of the work in the Baijing Galaxy, with Chandou and Yutao assisting. Qingtao, Nandi, Baimian Shen, and Heimian Shen will be in charge of driving the Molan transport ship to and from the Baijing and Amber Galaxy."

"Hongtao and I won't run away. We will stay here to take charge of the work in the Amber Galaxy."

"Um--"

"Yes. The Amber Galaxy has begun to transition to the development stage..."

Long Bai said solemnly: "After the Amber Galaxy stabilizes, I need to return to the White Crystal Galaxy to communicate with the White Crystal Divine Tree and borrow a batch of law fruits. And the Flame Vein Tunnel Bee Tribe that President Bai Wei mentioned, it would be best if I can buy it... or exchange the source points for a batch of law fruits. I need to speed up and cash in the rewards for searching for the source points. It would be better for King Bai to break through and evolve as soon as possible..."

...

Longbai and Baiwei's insects discussed for a while, then went to the other three construction sites together, inspected them, and asked Baishen and Guishan to confirm that the project was proceeding as planned.

Longbai returned to the tree flower seat with the column spots and the question mark.

Bai Wei returned to the Lingxiao star system, waiting to meet up with the White-faced God and the Black-faced God.

Xianglan Mountain, Citi Mountain, and the Tree Flower Joint Fleet, a total of 18 insects need to return to the three major galaxies to collect divine fruits, supplement their abilities, and achieve evolutionary breakthroughs.

Call for assembly, and the fleet sets sail.

...

...

In the center of the Black Dharma Horn, the stars are growing steadily in circles.

Time flies,

The diameter exceeded 80 kilometers, 90 kilometers, 100 million kilometers...

The color of the star changed from dull crimson to bright crimson, bright orange, and was slowly evolving towards scorching orange...

It was planned to build 38 mining stars, and Long Bai personally supervised the construction. The first mining star was completed and officially put into orbit.

With a flash of golden light, Hei Fa in the form of a big-headed ant appeared beside Long Bai.

"Boss Longbai, we can build the mineral vein directly!"

"Okay. Got it."

"Boss, level 3 energy material?"

"Of course! Hei Fa, you take care of the arrangements. Xing Shen Ao and Hei Ti will work with you."

"I also need a definite answer. What is the first batch of materials mainly used for? Different materials are produced for different purposes."

"Do I even need to ask? Of course, we need to build a fleet that can sail into deep space! My knowledge in the field of science and technology is limited. To be more specific, Black Fa, you can just give us the plan and your suggestions, or you can discuss it with Xing Shen Ao and Heiti."

Black Law: “…Okay.”

Heifa: "Boss Longbai, I have a great suggestion!"

excellent?

Black Mage is an intelligent machine. He speaks in a relatively rigorous manner and rarely uses absolute words.

Long Bai became interested after hearing this and asked, "How amazing is it?"

Black Law: "According to my calculations, even if all the territories of the Zerg civilization are filled with Zerg and Force plants, the utilization efficiency of the Source Force will not exceed 90%. Moreover, according to the development speed of the Divine Tree civilization, the Amber Galaxy will not be able to have a full population of Source Star Systems for a long time in the future, and the actual utilization efficiency will be far less than 90%."

"Boss Longbai, you can consider building a batch of 'energy ships', hiding them outside the star system, constantly monitoring the flow and consumption of energy within the star system, and absorbing the unused surplus energy in appropriate amounts to transport it to me..."

"Then, I will cultivate as many veins of third-level energy materials as possible. When energy ships deliver the Force, I will use it to speed up the formation of the ore deposits. Increasing the speed is equivalent to increasing the output. Alternatively, you can also use the collected Force to cultivate first- and second-level energy materials."

"Assuming that a third-level source point extracts 20% of the surplus force, if there are five third-level source points available for collection, then the increase in production is approximately equal to that of one third-level source point."

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai: "First, you can operate your own source point, so you don't need to try other things. Everyone understands it, and they are very cautious and strictly managed. Second, to collect surplus force from the third-level source point, it must be a third-level energy ship, right? The size must be large enough and the number must be sufficient."

Black Law: "Yes. The Vafa civilization is the best at this. What I mean is that with the first batch of level 3 energy materials, we can consider building a batch of level 3 energy ships. In the future, they can also be used for deep space voyages."

"hiss……"

"Can consider it!"

Long Bai asked: "What is the efficiency of the energy utilization of the three-body star system in the form of a 'treasure planet' planned by Molan?"

Black Law: "Theoretically, it can exceed 90%, but the prerequisite is that the treasure planet must have a sufficient number of force plants and a sufficient number of Zerg warriors. If, after it is built, only the insects and trees of the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce move in, and some mineral veins are built, the utilization efficiency will probably only be 60% to 70%."

Long Bai: "Then there are three source star systems, namely, Qingqianliu, Baiwei and Molan, available for collection. Also, the third-level source point of the 101st star field will fall into our hands if nothing unexpected happens..."

Long Bai paused, pondered for a moment, and said, "Hei Fa, you plan based on five third-level source points."

Black Law: “Received!”

Black Law: "Boss Longbai, you need to give clear instructions on the deep space fleet. Are we going to sail to find a new star system? Or are we going to expedition to find the Star God Chi? What is the overall speed? Do we need to add a combat system?"

Long Bai: "First, there is no need for a combat system. Second, the first batch of fleets will carry combat bugs and try to sail far away to explore routes and find the Star God Chi. We need to consider what to do if we find it but cannot defeat it. Therefore, the overall speed of the fleet should be as fast as possible, and it must have the functions of emergency escape and deep space concealment and stealth."

Heifa: "I see! They are the vanguard troops that explore the way! The fleet must be light and flexible."

"Yes."

Long Bai: "Hei Fa, you should discuss with Xing Shen Ao and Hei Ti first and draw up a plan. Once you have it drawn up, show it to me."

Black Law: “Received!”

After Long Bai finished speaking, he asked again: "Black Magic, what is the fastest speed you can reach?"

“That’s exactly the question I need to ask.”

Black magic: "It can be divided into three major levels. The first level is 1000 times the speed of light; the second level is 1500 times the speed of light; the third level is 2000 times the speed of light."

"The Vafa civilization has mature theoretical knowledge and application technology, and the speed is determined by the material. I also have mature material technology. The Vafa civilization has exclusive, top-level space attribute material cultivation technology. However, this type of material takes a very long time. What determines the quality of the material is time."

“自然情况下，第一档航速材料所需时间100万至200万年；第二档材料200万年至300万年；第三档材料300万年以上。”

"So, in the end, it all depends on when you plan to set sail, and how much time I have to prepare."

Long Bai: “…I understand!”

Long Bai asked: "Hei Fa, when you said 300 million years, did you not take into account your ability to breed accelerated materials?"

"Yes."

Black Mage: "If I can ensure a sufficient supply of the Force, I can double or triple the speed. Some materials may take more than 500 million years, but after acceleration, they can be cultivated in about 200 million years."

Long Bai: "Don't think about it, it has to be the third gear! Just give me the best and fastest one!"

Black Law: “Received!”

Black Law summarized: "The materials for the power system, energy system, and ship hull are arranged to be cultivated in the Black Law Space. Other materials are arranged to be cultivated in the Green Willow Constellation, the Black Orchid Constellation, and the White Rose Constellation. In about 200 million years, we can build a fleet with a maximum speed of 2000 times the speed of light and capable of carrying 10 soldiers for deep space voyages!"

Black Magic: "I will discuss with Xing Shen Ao and Heiti to plan the starship form and fleet structure..."

Long Bai added: "The fish worm will come along, so we need to consider building a separate starship for it, or arranging a large enough, independent space for it in the mothership."

Black Law: "Received!" (End of this chapter)
