Astral Ants

Xianglan main star.

The intelligent defense system scanned and Xing Shen'ao was the first to notice that a starship resembling a star destroyer was approaching. He also found that it was the Taber that was leading the way and rushed to meet it immediately.

Silver Shark No. 9 and Silver Shark No. 10 hovered and docked with the starport, and the soldiers in the starships were teleported out first.

The Taber docked at the Star Harbor Square, with the teleportation light flashing, and the cypress, peanut, vine, and bluewood were teleported out of the cabin.

"Boss Longbai!"

"President Peanut! Leader Tengluo! Leader Lanmu..."

Xing Shen Ao greeted them one by one, looked at the seven-colored mantis warriors who were teleported out, and asked puzzledly: "Captain Longbai, these warriors are..."

"Go back to Xianglan Main Planet and talk!"

Long Bai waved his claws to greet him, and asked in return: "Xing Shen Ao, how is the construction progress of our second expedition fleet?"

Star God Aohui reported: "The five third-level source star systems of the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce and the Citi star system of the Citi Chamber of Commerce, this batch of third-level energy materials produced were harvested and built into a fleet 20 years ago."

“我们香兰商会共打造银鲛23型歼星舰5艘；银鲛13型全能舰12艘；银鲛13型能量舰3艘；银鲛11型能量舰8艘。合计28艘，最多可搭载30万战士星际远征。”

"The materials produced by the Citi star system were used to build a Silver Shark 23-type star destroyer and a Silver Shark 13-type energy ship."

"The Amber Chamber of Commerce also produced its third-level materials. The Baiwei Chamber of Commerce spent some money to purchase a batch of them and asked Hei Fa to help design and build a survival mothership with a range of 3000 million light years and a diameter of 13 kilometers. It was named 'Zeqi'."

"We formed a team to conduct a test voyage and headed to the star regions near the four major galaxies for exploration..."

"Wait!"

Longbai raised his claw to interrupt and asked, "You mean Zeqi, Luoli, Baiwei, and Hongtao from Baiwei Chamber of Commerce are not in the Amber Galaxy? Don't tell me that the leader of Citigroup Chamber of Commerce, Shengqiu, is not here either."

Xing Shen Ao: "Yes... President Zeqi is the commander-in-chief of the fleet. The fleet is fully loaded and many Zerg warriors are there."

Xing Shen Ao: "Our Xianglan Chamber of Commerce, led by Shan Linger, Shan Lingsan, Ye Ying, Lan Yan and other insects, has dispatched 28 Zerg warriors and transferred 3 scientists and engineers from the Pei Diernan civilization."

Star God Ao said: "However, they know the approximate time when the fleet will set out on the expedition, so they should be back soon."

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai: "Where is the Baijing Chamber of Commerce? What's going on?"

Star God Ao replied, "The new space-based level 22 energy materials from the White Crystal Chamber of Commerce are about to be produced. About years ago, the White Crystal Divine Tree sent the Mountain Hazel Lord to negotiate with us formally. Black Magic designed sets of expedition starships of different models and functions for them."

"Leader Bai Zhen said that you, Boss Longbai, once promised to do the OEM for free... For such a large quantity, it is impossible to do it for free. Leader Shan Lingyi and Leader Bai Zhen went to the Baijing Star System together to negotiate with the Baijing Divine Tree."

"Oh--"

"Free work?"

Long Bai: "I seem to have made a similar promise, but it was limited to a small amount. If the amount is too large, then there will definitely be an appropriate charge... Forget it, let's not talk about this for now..."

The skill of speaking,
Scale Oak led thirty tech bugs over.

The Seven Colors Chamber of Commerce, the Seven Colors Flower Mantis Tribe's so-called smartest 'Horned Leaf Chief', hurried over with 25 Seven Colors Flower Mantis warriors and 25 warriors from other Mantis tribes who were good at farming.

After a brief greeting and introduction, we boarded the intra-star system passenger Star Spider and landed at the North 1001 District Square.

Received the message,

The auxiliary kings such as Juniper, Cedar, Spade, as well as Zerg warriors such as Persimmon, Raspberry, and Mulberry rushed to the scene.

"Your Majesty, why are you back?"

"Where is my second king?"

"Where's Bai Liu?"

"Where's the white mulberry?"

"Where's the rice?"

"What about the red maple?"

"What about the other bugs?"

"Where do all these praying mantises come from?"

"Why does it look so similar to the black orchid mantis? It doesn't look smart~"

"Ant, what are you doing?"

"..."

Not only did the Zerg warriors ask questions, but the surrounding Force plants also asked questions.

The divine power in Long Bai's body surged, and the reincarnation world unfolded, covering the planet.

We didn't encounter many things during this expedition, so we picked out the key points and organized them, activating the power of the tree flower's heart realm and writing them directly into the soul consciousness of all the insects and trees.

——The fleet successfully arrived at the Huangjing Galaxy and joined forces with the team led by the Second King!
——Successfully crossed the Rose One Rotor Wall and entered the True Seven Dolphin Line!
——Found the Star God Alliance!

——The stranded Seven Colors Chamber of Commerce space fortress was discovered.

……

The insects and trees cheered, were horrified, angry, shocked, and ecstatic.

"Three ready-made galaxies!"

"It's all ours!"

"Get rich!"

"Seven-colored sacred tree?"

"Why not kill the mantis?"

"Can't you just grab it?"

"Where's the tree? Bring it here so I can have a look!"

"..."

"Okay. Be quiet."

Long Bai gave the order, saying: "Star God Ao, arrange a Star Spider for Peanut. Peanut needs to return to the Baiwei Star System."

"Linju, you drive the Silver Shark No. 9 all-purpose ship and send Tengluo and Lanmu back to the Citi galaxy."

"Juniper, Cedar, Spade, go and make arrangements. The 1500th area north of Xianglan Main Star will be allocated to the Seven Colors Chamber of Commerce for the Seven Colors Chamber of Commerce's Force plants to take root. Are there any warriors living there? Arrange for them to move their nests."

"Ok!"

"understand!"

"understood!"

The insects agreed and began to act.

...

...

The Horned Leaf Leader of the Seven Colors Chamber of Commerce also has a Shanglu space, and the heartwoods of most of the Force plants are in its space.

A small number of tree hearts are in Longbai's reincarnation world, and they also helped bring back a large number of living ordinary seven-colored mantises.

Long Bai personally organized the work, cleared space, and used his abilities to transform the environment.

The tree cores bury themselves in the soil one by one, take root, sprout, and grow rapidly.

The Seven-Colored Divine Tree was at the highest level of evolution. The tree trunk was refined into a blue refining bead and brought back. It was then watered and quickly resumed growth.

All the ordinary seven-colored flower mantises moved out and began to live and reproduce with the seven-colored sacred tree as the center.

...

Longbai's journey took 280 million years.

After arranging the trees and insects of the Seven Colors Chamber of Commerce, he listened to the work reports of the juniper, cedar and other insects. Then, surrounded by the insects, he inspected the main star of Xianglan and greeted all the important force plants.

Zhanlan, who was the first to break through and be promoted to the Domination Realm, also was promoted to the Domination of the Sky at the fastest speed. He is also the only Force Plant in the current Xianglan Chamber of Commerce that has reached the Domination Realm of the Sky.

The evolution and growth of Force Plants are slow. After reaching the Domination Stage, the Chamber of Commerce no longer supplies Chaos Ore and Source Gems. Not to mention the comprehension of the laws of the universe, at the Star Domain Domination stage, the time required for one age to grow is two to three times that of a Zerg warrior, more than 50 years.

Trees such as the King Cypress, Two-color Mulberry, Night-scented Fragrance, Wingless, King Black Orchid, and Black Lotus are all stagnant at the level of Star Domain Domination, with varying ages.

After 280 million years of development, the number of wild God-given seeds of the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce has exceeded the 100 million mark, and it has been officially promoted to a level 7 chamber of commerce.

The Chamber of Commerce began to control the number of warriors when it reached 3000 million, and the zero-level source star system implemented an intensive cultivation management model. The number of warriors born dropped sharply and is currently more than 5000 million.

According to the strict standard of selecting one out of a hundred, 50 soldiers are selected into the combat unit through numerous rounds of selection, and the number of full-time combat soldiers is .

Longbai has always attached great importance to the combat capability of the Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Commerce’s resources are tilted towards the combat department.

At present, at the Sujing level, the number of soldiers who can go on expeditions and participate in wars exceeds 30.

Various top-level resources are in sufficient supply. Led by Lan Yan, the number of fighters who have won the top ten places in the Daylight Sea Arena has reached sixty-seven, and the number of fighters who have won the top three hundred places is nearly five hundred.

Raising so many Zerg warriors and Force plants requires a huge amount of expenses.

The three most important resources in the Chamber of Commerce's treasury: the number of Chaos Stones is never more than 100 million; after the discount of World Gems, the total value is less than 30 million Chaos Stones; and the Source Gems are not even self-sufficient.

The evolution and growth of Force Plants are inseparable from Source Gems.

The demand for source gems is much greater than that for chaos stones and world gems, and they need to be purchased in bulk from the Amber Chamber of Commerce. When the purchase volume is large, the Amber Chamber of Commerce will only accept the exchange of chaos stones, world gems, or third-level source energy materials, and will not accept or will not fully accept purchases with funds from Star Network accounts.

After a thorough investigation and comprehensive calculation, Long Bai issued an order: [Select 500 to 1000 self-operated zero-level source star systems to restore the rough management mode, and slowly increase the number of Chamber of Commerce warriors to 200 million within the next 1 million years]

Follow-up,

The Xianglan Chamber of Commerce not only has to transport combat bugs to the True Seven Dolphin Line to search for and deal with the God King Chi, but also has to organize a special transport fleet to transport large quantities of logistics management bugs to develop and operate the Wangbai Galaxy, Phoenix Galaxy, and Longyuan Galaxy.

It is possible that the True Seven Dolphin Line will find the fourth, fifth, sixth, or even more galaxies, which will require tens of millions of Zerg warriors to go there to open up and operate them.

...

The Seven-Colored Divine Tree is at the level of dominating the starry sky. The heart of the tree is reborn and growing very fast. After only half a year, the dormant soul consciousness awakens.

Soon after, the other God-given species of the Seven Colors Chamber of Commerce regained consciousness one after another.

One year later, the other Force plants' souls gradually awakened...

The Seven-Colored Divine Tree and the Two-Colored Mulberry soon confronted each other. They were separated by half of the treasure planet, and their mental power spanned 20 kilometers, cursing each other and being as hostile as water and fire.

Other force plants joined in passively or actively.

Three major camps soon emerged:

The Seven-Colored Merchant Guild’s Force Plants, led by the Seven-Colored Sacred Tree;
Pandan Chamber of Commerce plants, led by Mulberry bicolor;

And other Force plants that did not participate but just joined in the fun.

The entire planet was overwhelmed by the turbulent and noisy spiritual power.

Long Bai was too lazy to persuade them, and directly arranged for Xing Shen'ao to design and build a set of super-strong anti-ecological base stations to isolate the North 1500 area and quell the unrest.

...

After 280 million years of growth and development, the chambers of commerce and tribal forces of all sizes in the four major galaxies have produced many God-given seeds of the Domination Realm. Xianglan Mountain has a ready-made reserve of God-given gene agents.

One portion of Longbai is selected and used, which is just enough to complete one age evolution.

Starry sky dominates the 6th age!

Wake up from your deep sleep and walk out of the king's nest...

"Leader Longbai!"

"I've met the leader Long Bai!"

"Hello, Chief Longbai!"

"Your Majesty..."

The group of insects waiting in the reception hall on the first floor of the short-handled horn tree flashed forward to greet them.

"Hello~"

Longbai was stunned for a moment, then moved his tentacles and said, "Peanut, Tengluo, Lanmu, can you introduce yourselves to me..."

Peanut brought with him a large group of current senior management of Baiwei Chamber of Commerce.

Tengluo also brought the current management bug of Citi Chamber of Commerce with him.

And the Tunnel Bee Tribe...

Almost all of them were new faces that Longbai didn't recognize, energetic young insects.

After 280 million years of development, the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce, the Citi Chamber of Commerce, and the Tunnel Bee Chamber of Commerce have completed one or two rounds of comprehensive iterations from top to bottom, and almost all the affairs of the chambers of commerce, big and small, have been handed over to the claws of these young insects.

Almost all of the old generation of Zerg that Longbai knew had followed the fleet on a long journey to explore deep space...

Only the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce is special. It is composed of a hundred thousand Zergs and has a complex composition, so the top management has always been held by Longbai's trusted followers...

After an introduction,

Longbai invited all the insects to enter the hall on the first floor of the short-handled horn tree to discuss matters.

Everyone already knows the situation on the True Seven Dolphin Line.

There is nothing else to do, just inform that a large number of warriors will be sent to the True Seven Dolphin Line next, and each chamber of commerce needs to open up the zero-level source point star system they operate, train more young warriors, and increase the insect population.

...

Finished processing,
Longbai hosted a small banquet to entertain the guests, chatting with them to build closer relationships with the insects, and at the same time to gain a better understanding of the current situation of the four major galaxies.

Done,

Driving the Taber, carrying Xing Shenao and Scale Oak, he set off straight to the Tree Flower Constellation, the Black Law.

...

After 500 million years of development, the number of Austenites of the Ferdinand civilization reached 2500 million, of which nearly 2000 million were settled in the Black Law.

A standard-model science and technology city is built for every 100 million austenites. 20 science and technology cities have been built in the Heifa, built adjacent to each other to form a super city cluster.

More than 2000 serious scientists emerged during the Ferdinand civilization. They built a scientific research base that was as large as a science and technology city and invested massive resources to build various scientific research equipment.

In addition, there are a large number of tech bugs and tech ants living together, and they have also built two tech cities of their own.

In the interior space of the Black Magic, starships of various shapes and sizes shuttle back and forth, Austenites, Zerg warriors, and swarms of technological ants flow continuously, and the space is prosperous.

The Taber was teleported directly to the tree-shaped king's nest. A black magician in the form of a golden big-headed ant appeared and called out:
"Boss Longbai!"

Hei Fa greeted him and asked, "Boss Longbai, why are you back? What happened?"

At the same time, the assistant kings such as Black Ti, Two-color Golden Sophora japonica, Two-color Golden Banyan, Zerg warriors such as Ghost Fan and Nebula Cypress, and Austenites such as Yuan Ling, Yuan Zhen, and Kong Shan Nai, who noticed the movement, all rushed to the scene.

After a chaotic greeting, everyone asked the same question: Why did the great leader Longbai come back in person? Has the Star God Alliance been found? Did something happen?

Longbai activated the tree flower's heart realm ability and wrote the relevant information into the soul consciousness.

"We found the Star God Alliance!"

"All the innate gods were devoured by the God King Chi? What a vicious guy!"

"Scared away by the mantis from the Seven Colors Chamber of Commerce?"

“Asshole…”

"My power system... my energy system..."

"Hei Fa, don't worry. My main purpose of coming back in person this time is to organize forces to search for and eliminate the God King Chi."

Longbai raised his paw to signal, and seeing that everyone had almost finished browsing, he directly instructed:
"Ministry of Science and Technology, Black Ti, Two-color Golden Sophora japonica, Two-color Golden Banyan, Ghost Fan, Nebula Cypress, including Scale Oak, please pay attention and select a group of successor bugs to take over the work in the Amber Galaxy. When the fleet returns, you will follow it and set off to the True Seven Dolphin Line."

"Xingshen'ao will also follow us. Peidi'nan Civilization will follow the footsteps of Xianglan Chamber of Commerce and expand to the True Seven Dolphin Line. Yuan Zhen, Yuan Ling, Kong Shannai, you will select 10 more scientists and 3 engineers to follow the fleet on the expedition."

"Ok!"

"understand!"

The insects agreed.

Long Bai added: "Hei Fa, please help design three types... three starships with different purposes."

"The first type is a reconnaissance ship with strong concealment, strong reconnaissance capability, ultra-long endurance, and emergency acceleration escape capability. It is suitable for independent operation and long-distance reconnaissance missions."

"These reconnaissance ships are mainly used to observe and track the traces of the God King's Seraphim Fleet."

Long Bai paused for a moment and continued:
"The second type uses the 'Huan' as the ship's internal space. It has strong endurance and power, and is a transport ship specially designed for ultra-long-distance interstellar transportation across cosmic rays and cosmic walls."

"In the future, the resources produced by the three star systems of the True Seven Dolphins Line will be transported back to the Amber Star System to provide for the continued development of the business community. In the Amber Star System, warriors who have evolved to the Star Realm will go to the True Seven Dolphins Line to carry out missions."

"There is a third option..."

Long Bai paused and pondered, then said, "Design a proper star destroyer that has combat capability and can participate in interstellar wars. For example, similar to the God King's Seraphic Fleet, a large number of star destroyers are combined and jointly launched to form an energy barrier to blockade a star system or even a star region."

"no problem!"

Black Law: "The first and second ones are very simple. We have ready-made blueprints, and we can just modify the appearance a little bit... or change it to the silver shark form?"

Longbai tapped his antennae, "Of course!"

"it is good--"

Hei Fa agreed and asked, "Boss Long Bai, does Bai Wei Chamber of Commerce want to join the battle?"

Long Bai said: "That's for sure!"

Black Law: "Then the third type of starship you mentioned can be designed as a special star destroyer based on the abilities of the Snow Iron Flame Spider warriors. It can be piloted by the Snow Iron Flame Spider warriors and use their frost and space power to freeze and seal a star field from the spatial level. It can also incorporate the time and space master's unique skill 'Ice Cracking'. When the fleet reaches a certain scale, it can destroy a star field from the spatial level."

"Ice crack?!"

Longbai straightened his tentacles and said, "Very good. Hei Fa, you will quickly deduce and show me the design plan first..."

Black Law: "It has already been designed!"

After saying that, the tentacles moved, and a golden light penetrated into Long Bai's forehead, directly writing the relevant information into Long Bai's soul consciousness.

Black Law: "I guessed that God King Chi would not die so easily, and he would not be easy to deal with. I mobilized the power of the scientific research base and spent 130,000 years to research this star destroyer..."

"very good!"

Long Bai carefully read the design parameters of the Star Destroyer and was overjoyed. (End of this chapter)
