Astral Ants

"Level 3 source point?"

"Yes."

"Star Region 101?"

"You're talking nonsense."

"High probability?"

"The 30 fixed points are point 001. A new source point was born, and we found it right away. We saw it evolve rapidly from level 0.1 with a Force concentration of 1 to level , and it's still growing. It's most likely the level source point that everyone has been waiting for. I'm sure it's there."

"Oh--"

"Wow!"

"great!"

"The fifth level three source point?"

"Thank you for your hard work, Second King!"

"The Second King is too strong!"

"The Second King is invincible!"

"Call Molan Lord!"

"Molan is invincible~"

"The Eleven Mantis Kings are invincible!"

"Get rich!"

"..."

The assistant kings under Long Bai's command were the first to jump for joy and cheer.

Long Bai was not very surprised nor did he feel delighted. With the strong layout that lasted for nearly 80,000 years, no insect could compete with him. As long as the third-level source point was born, it would definitely be found by the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce fleet. There was no reason and no possibility that it would be taken away by other small fleets.

Long Bai looked at Zi and Cai Gang with an unfriendly look.

"Zi, Cai Gang, don't you two work?"

"Work."

"As per usual practice, we came here to report the latest galaxy information to the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce fleet."

"There is another good news. Our Four Oaks star system is completed."

"We can notify President Zeqi of Baiwei Chamber of Commerce to come over and select a life planet to take over and start business."

"..."

After successfully finding a level 02 source point in the original star field No. , the team led by Sishu and Xia Li, which was composed of affiliated chambers of commerce of Baijing Chamber of Commerce, was worried about causing resentment from Amber Chamber of Commerce, so they tactfully decided not to continue looking for a second one.

The two guys, Sishu and Xia Li, proudly named the source point as the Four Quercus constellation, the Four Quercus star system, and the Four Quercus star field.

Their team has been continuously searching in the Four Oaks Star Region, looking for secondary, primary, and zero-level source points.

The Baijing Chamber of Commerce cannot expand in the Amber Chamber of Commerce's territory, so it can only choose one of the star regions and appropriately consolidate its position.

More than 40,000 years ago, the Baijing Chamber of Commerce team gave up the search for the source point and responded to the call of the True God of Nature, instead organizing forces to develop and build a third-level source point star system.

There were not many Zerg warriors under the command of Sishu and Xia Li, only about four or five hundred thousand in total. It took 40,000 years to finally complete the project.

As for Zi and Cai Gang...

The two of them drove the Purple Sun around the galaxy, asking here and observing there, collecting the movements and information of various forces, both large and small, and reporting to Sishu and Xia Li, and also reporting to the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce and Baiwei Chamber of Commerce on a regular basis.

Long Bai asked, "Where are Si Shu and Boss Xia Li?"

Zi replied, "Of course they are in charge of affairs in the Four Oaks star system."

"Why do you care about Sishu and Xia Li?"

Molan asked, "Longbai, how are you evolving?"

Longbai: "8 years old, not quite there yet."

"Then we're only a little bit away... so why don't we evolve yet?"

Mo Lan was impatient and urged: "Let's go to Star Field No. 101! Let's watch the evolution and growth of the third-level source point together!"

"it is good!"

Long Bai simply agreed.

This is very important!
Star field No. 101 is close to the central area of ​​the Amber Galaxy. The galaxy is large and the overall distribution of matter within the system is dense. Theoretically speaking, the probability of high-grade source points being born in this star field is very high.

At the beginning, Long Bai took this into consideration and chose it as the first choice for the layout.

It’s time to test the results!
Longbai arranged: "Qianli Chunyu, Qianli Xiapiao, Qianli Qiufeng, Qianli Dongkui, the four of you stay and organize the affairs of Xianglan Star. Yuanbai will follow, Shan Linger, Shan Lingsan...you can follow and join in the fun!"

...

...

In star field No. 101, the 'point' numbered 001 is not a point, but a black hole.

Only 17 light-years away from the black hole, there is a small and sparsely distributed mass of matter composed of meteorites, asteroids, and gaseous matter.

The source point is born within the mass of matter.

Giant Cypress and Purple Clover were commanding 8 warriors from the Xianglan Mountain Chamber of Commerce and 18 warriors from the Shuhua Chamber of Commerce who had officially joined. They were busy collecting meteorites and asteroids from the material cloud, classifying them, and merging them together in an orderly manner, intending to create a mining star first.

There were also soldiers operating the gravity ship, collecting gaseous matter, and clearing out a near-vacuum channel that led directly to the depths of the matter mass.

Molan controlled the Glorious Throne, carrying all the insects, teleported through space, quickly shuttled through the nebula, entered the interior of the matter mass, and headed straight for the source.

Mao Mei led the fighting insects of Xianglan Chamber of Commerce, lined up in a defensive formation, and guarded the source.

"The Second King is back!"

"Lord Molan is here!"

"Your Majesty!"

"The King is coming!"

"Hey! So many little Saou-ohs?"

"My king, are these the newly trained assistant kings?"

"..."

Word spread quickly.

Insects such as giant cypress and purple clover arrived one after another.

When we met, we greeted each other.
All eyes turned to the source.

The current Force concentration is about 1.3.

"Jubai, are you planning to clear away all the nearby materials?"

Long Bai asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Jubai said: "It is convenient for starships to enter and exit, and it is also ready for the subsequent star system construction work!"

Long Bai: "Yes. Very good. Let's continue to work."

Long Bai's expression changed, and he said formally: "Calculating the time, this round of source search in Star Region 101 has been completed for 3.5 years. I can give a message to the Shuhua Chamber of Commerce's officially joined fleet and the Shuhua United Fleet here. According to the contract, it's time to start helping to build the source star system."

"Jubai and Green Heart will handle this matter. Let's prepare everyone first. Whether to go or stay, each tribe and chamber of commerce should make a decision first. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

"Understand!"

Giant Cypress and Green Heart agreed.

Longbai waved his claws to signal him to go.

Long Bai and Mo Lan were personally guarding the source.

The source point grew very quickly, and in just over 160 years, it broke through and became a second-level source point.

The growth momentum is increasing rather than decreasing.

It can be almost concluded that it is a third-level source point!
After waiting patiently for another 514 years, the source point grew rapidly, and leaped from the second level to the third level.

After becoming a level three source point, the growth rate was similar to that of the original level three source point of the White Wei constellation. On average, the concentration of the Force increased by about 6 every 0.01 years.

continue waiting,

Precise timing and precise measurement, 61 years later, the Force concentration reached level 3.1

After another 245 years, the Force concentration exceeded level 3.5!
The insects on Xianglan Mountain are having a carnival.

Long Bai ordered Zi, Cai Gang, Lu Xin and others to run faster and transport fresh food from the four star systems of Fei Guang to hold a grand banquet to celebrate.

The source is still growing and there is no sign of slowing down!

wait.

After another 61 years, the Force concentration exceeded level 3.6.

The insects in Xianglan Mountain were having another wild party.

The source is still growing and there is no sign of decline.

Level 3.65, level 3.66, level 3.67...

When the Force concentration reached level 3.68, the growth rate of the source point began to slow down.

It's almost level 3.7.

The concentration of the Force at the source point can be compared with the evolutionary level of Force life.

The third-level source point corresponds to the third-level cosmic life form, which is the domination realm.

Break it down further:
The Force concentration is level 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3, comparable to that of the star domain master.

The Force concentration is level 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6, comparable to that of the Master of the Sky.

The Force concentration is level 3.7, 3.8, and 3.9, which is comparable to the highest level of the master of the universe.

The Force concentration level 3.6 and level 3.7 only differ by 0.1 of Force concentration, but in name, they are two different realms.

When we say that the Force concentration is level 3.6, everyone will just think that it is a very high-level source point.

The Force concentration is at level 3.7, which is incredible. It is among the highest level and highest quality source points in the universe.

Led by Longbai and Molan, all the insects waited with bated breath.

The giant cypress and purple clover were the leaders, and the insects that were working put down their claws and came closer to watch.

After a long 10 years, the Force concentration reached level 3.69.

After another long 12 years, the Force concentration reached level 3.7.

Long Bai ordered Zi, Cai Gang, Lu Xin, Du Dou and Du Mai to drive the Purple Sun for another trip to the Fei Guang Four Star Systems and transport another batch of fresh food.

Another 15 years later, the Force concentration reached 3.71.

After another 20 years, the source point completely stopped growing and finally settled at magnitude 3.72.

...

Giant cypress and purple clover led the group of insects to collect matter around the source and formed a planet with a diameter of 8000 kilometers.

Xianglan Chamber of Commerce and Shuhua Chamber of Commerce officially joined the Chongxian and held a grand celebration banquet on the planet.

Feiyang and Feipeng also received the news and drove a billion-ton cargo starship to transport a large amount of royal honey from the Lingxiao star system.

The feasting and drinking lasted for more than half a year.

Longbai issued an order: summon 500 million soldiers from the Shuhua Chamber of Commerce's joint fleet to assemble for a meeting.

...

The Tubbs Conference Hall,
Long Bai first convened the core senior executives of Xianglan Chamber of Commerce above level 18 to discuss the matter.

"My lord, name the source first!"

Juniper raised his paw to prompt.

"Isn't this nonsense?"

"It must be the Longbai constellation, the Longbai star system, the Longbai star field!"

"The Second King has a named Level 3 source point, so how can the Great King not have one?"

"Yes."

"That's necessary!"

"What about the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce?"

"Are we still missing a third-level source named after the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce?"

"Yes."

"Is there still a chance? To build another one?"

"At this stage, even the first-level source point is hard to find, so where is the chance?"

"..."

"Quiet! Quiet everyone!"

"What's the noise?"

Molan was furious, "Listen to the king! The first question is the name of the source!"

Long Bai said: "The real strong ones are low-key, silent, and hidden behind the scenes. I will not show off. This source point is officially named Xianglan Constellation, and Star Region No. 101 is officially named Xianglan Star Region..."

"Then, regarding our Level 3 Source Point Transformation Plan, I'm wondering if we should make some changes?"

"The concentration of the Force in the Molan Constellation, which was originally planned to be transformed into a treasure planet, is slightly different from that in the recently discovered Vanilla Constellation..."

--right!

——This is an issue worth exploring in depth!
All the insects clicked their tentacles in agreement.

The Force concentration of Melancholy is 3.48, just two points away from 3.5. It was originally thought to be high enough, so it was planned as a treasure planet without much hesitation.

However, the Force concentration of the recently discovered constellation Vanilla has reached an unprecedented level of 3.72.

Among all the third-level source points discovered in the Amber Galaxy, it can be ranked 8th, and is one of the top best third-level source points.

The Treasure House Planet was built for the Chamber of Commerce's own use, for the Force plants within the Chamber of Commerce to take root and for senior management to settle down.

Now that the Chamber of Commerce is no longer short of money, all good resources should be provided to its own bugs first, especially those that have contributed to the development of the Chamber of Commerce.

The third-level source point itself is the most core resource of the universe.

Zerg warriors are fine, they don't rely heavily on the force of nature.

But Force plants are different. They are highly dependent on the Force environment. There is still a certain difference between the Force concentrations of 3.48 and 3.72. Over the years, there will be a significant difference.

All eyes turned to Molan.

Cymbidium:"……"

Molan said depressedly: "I think it's okay. Molan constellation will be transformed into an ordinary star system and opened to the outside world for leasing. Xianglan constellation will be transformed into a treasure house star system for the Chamber of Commerce to use. At the same time, more mining stars can be built to produce more third-level energy materials."

This is what everyone means~
Long Bai followed up and said, "Since Lord Molan has spoken, it is settled. The plan has been changed. The treasure planet will be built in Xianglan constellation instead!"

Long Bai paused for a moment and continued, "Then our work of reclaiming the third-level source point is a little troublesome and needs to be adjusted accordingly."

"The Treasure Planet needs to build three stars."

"The original plan was to move one satellite from the Molan constellation, build two satellites, mobilize 600 million soldiers, and quickly complete the construction within years."

"Now, the treasure planet has been changed to the constellation of Xianglan, and we only have 500 million soldiers available. Moreover, according to my observation, there is only one small red dwarf star within 300 light years that can be used for relocation. There are no other suitable ones. We can only spend time and effort to collect gas condensation. In addition, there is a Baiwei star system that needs to be built here..."

As Long Bai was speaking, a thought occurred to him. The lights in the hall dimmed, and the dome cast a complete holographic projection of the Amber Galaxy.

Long Bai said solemnly: "The source point transformation plan will be changed as follows, and the relevant soldiers will make the following adjustments and deployments."

"First, the Shuhua Chamber of Commerce officially joined the fleet formed by the insects. Under the guidance of the fish insects, they have found enough source points. According to the agreement, they will assist us in completing the construction of all third-level source points."

"Officially reorganized into the [Shuhua First Joint Engineering Team], with a total of 18 soldiers? Some soldiers may need to evolve and grow due to their lifespans, so 3 soldiers can be given time off to keep 15 soldiers working all the time. Each engineering fleet has 5 soldiers, and they will board the Rainbow Island Survival Motherships No. 6, 7, and 8, and are numbered Shuhua Engineering Fleet No. 101, Shuhua Engineering Fleet No. 102, and Shuhua Engineering Fleet No. 103 respectively."

"The Shuhua First Joint Engineering Team is a team directly under the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce. It can be flexibly moved and dispatched. We can dispatch it wherever it is needed."

"Zi Sanye, you will serve as the captain of the fleet. Cishu, He Yi, Linghua, Xiang Ping, Wu Lunzhu, you will serve as vice captains."

"Ok!"

"understand!"

The insects agreed.

Long Bai continued, "Second... Second King, from now on, you will personally command the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce fleet to continue searching for the source within the Xianglan star field."

"Follow the king's command!"

Molan agreed happily.

Long Bai continued, "The 500 million soldiers of the Shuhua Combined Fleet under Baifan's command have voluntarily decided to leave or stay according to the contract. Based on the last round, it is estimated that 50 will withdraw."

"We will try to keep those who are worth keeping. I can add one more thing. During the past 3.5 years of searching, the Chamber of Commerce has used 300 insects as a unit. According to the number of source points, one source point is harvested for every 300 insects. If the number of source points harvested is not enough, we will arrange 300 soldiers to follow our Xianglan Chamber of Commerce fleet, and let the fish insects guide the direction to continue searching for the source point. Once we find the source point and have enough people, we will arrange them to come back and participate in the construction of the source point, but they must work for 1 years as agreed."

"We will also count those small chambers of commerce and tribes with a population of less than 300 as full 300."

"After counting the number of people who stayed and left, 300 million soldiers were separated and officially reorganized into the [Shuhua Second Joint Engineering Team]. It is still commanded by Bai Fan, with 15 soldiers in each team, divided into the 'Shuhua 201 Engineering Fleet', the 'Shuhua 202 Engineering Fleet', and so on."

"It is estimated that there are about 150 million soldiers, led by Jubai, and formally reorganized into the [Shuhua Third Joint Engineering Team], which is also a team of 15 soldiers, divided into the 'Shuhua 301 Engineering Fleet' and the 'Shuhua 302 Engineering Fleet'..."

Jubai agreed: "Understood!"

Long Bai said: "Third, the Shuhua United Fleet composed of 600 million soldiers in the Molan Star Region will have about 5000 years before the contract expires. When the time comes, we will count the number of soldiers who will leave and stay. It is estimated that 500 million to 550 million soldiers will remain."

"At that time, the fleet led by President Bai Wei also came. We can use the Molan transport ship to transfer to Xianglan Sea and replenish 50 soldiers for the vacant survival mothership here."

"Jubai, the insect population of your Third Joint Engineering Fleet has reached 200 million, right?"

"We will dispatch 100 million soldiers from the Molan Star Region, board the King Butterfly 10 survival carrier, and slowly sail over to make up the 300 million for you. The contract is to work for us for 1 years to develop and build the source star system. We can make concessions, and the time lost in the voyage can also be counted as working time."

Jubai: “I understand.”

Long Bai: "Fourth, of the 600 million warriors in the Molan Star Region, if some leave and some are transferred away, there will be about 350 million to 400 million left in the end."

"But the fleet over there can still accommodate 500 million soldiers. When the time comes, let Yudou and Caolong recruit and fill in the gaps. It will be officially reorganized into the [Shuhua Fourth Joint Engineering Fleet], still commanded by Baishen, Guishan, Zisha, Xingyunbai and others. Each fleet will have 15 soldiers, divided into the 'Shuhua 401 Engineering Fleet', the 'Shuhua 402 Engineering Fleet', and so on."

"There is a ready-made star in the Molan star system that can be moved and used. Once the star system is built and the star is solved, there won't be much work left. The Shuhua Fourth Joint Engineering Fleet, with 500 million soldiers, will move together and the construction will be completed soon."

"After we're done, we'll sail to the Baiwei star field and start the construction of the Baiwei star system. Similarly, we can make certain concessions. The time spent on interstellar travel can also be considered work."

"Another point……"

"For the 600 million Zerg warriors in the Molan Star Region, the minimum harvest standard is 300 Zergs per source point. If there are tribes or chambers of commerce that are unlucky and whose harvests do not meet the standard, they can be arranged to follow the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce fleet, with the Zerg guiding the direction, make up for the harvest, and then join the work."

"Anyway, if you work for us for 1 years, you can renew your contract and continue to follow our fleet and search for the source. We will provide a safety net."

"According to my estimation, if we spend a huge amount of money to hire the fleet of the Luoli Chamber of Commerce to help move the planet, we will have enough time to build the Baiwei star system. If not, we can negotiate and offer a high salary to finish the job."

"After finishing the work, the engineering fleet will be transferred directly to the exploration fleet. The organization will remain unchanged and they will set out directly to start the next round of source search."

"..."

The insects moved their tentacles.

The mobilization and arrangement are somewhat complicated, and everyone is concentrating on extending their tentacles and mobilizing their intelligent brains to think.

Long Bai said: "I will personally go to the Molan star system to handle this matter later."

Molan praised: "It has to be the king!"

Juniper looked confused, raised his paw to signal, and asked, "With your arrangement, it seems that all our level 3 source star systems can be developed at once?"

"You're talking nonsense."

"At present, there are three source points to be developed: Xianglan, Molan and Baiwei."

"Juniper, have you lost count of one, two, three?"

"..."

The insects made a lot of noise.

Longbai waved his antennae to signal the end of the meeting.

……

500 million soldiers from the Baifan Organization and the Shuhua Combined Fleet rushed to the third-level source location to assemble.

Long Bai convened a meeting of all the heads of the chambers of commerce or tribal forces, gave a speech, announced the end of the contract's third-level source search cycle, and counted the departures and stays.

Almost as predicted, 43 soldiers withdrew for various reasons.

Do not try to retain or make things difficult for those who have left.

However, we have to wait for two thousand years for the Molan transport ship and the White-faced God to arrive before we can transport it back to the Lingxiao star system.

For the time being, you can rest in the survival mothership, or you can work together and help build the Xianglan star system.

The warriors who choose to stay will start working right where they are, first collecting all the materials in the material cluster where the third-level source point is located. (End of this chapter)
