Astral Ant Tribe

"Longbai Ant King!"

"Leader Molan~"

Yuto called.

Long Bai and Mo Lan woke up from hibernation and raised their tentacles.

Yu Teng: "King Longbai Ant, this place is 2 light years away from the blue star system. Is it suitable?"

"Okay! Try it!"

Long Bai stood up.

Yuto piloted the Star Spider, got out of the star net, and floated in the main universe.

The cabin door slowly opened, and the airflow in the sealed cabin quickly escaped.

The star cores on the foreheads of Long Bai, Mo Lan, and Yu Teng shone slightly, and they instantly adapted to the space environment where the substance is close to zero.

The lightning ability was activated, and the figure flashed out of the Star Spider cabin.

Manipulating the weak force to push, the floating body slowed down, turned in circles, and looked around.

endless darkness,

In the far distance, there are faintly countable dots and dots of weak starlight.

"King Longbai Ant, leader Molan, over there is the azure star system!"

Yuto raised his claws and pointed in the direction, then activated his sunburn ability to observe.

Mo Lan and Long Bai then activated their sunburn abilities and waited.

A first-level star spider, twice the speed of light.

Standing 2 light years away, collecting light information, what you see is the scene two years ago.

Just then, we can see the scene where Long Bai went to look for Mo Lan two years ago, as well as the busy figures of insects from other planets...

Long Bai watched for a while, then withdrew his sunburn ability, and a little blue-purple water droplet floated out from his forehead, expanded, and transformed into the form of a four-legged artist.

The three abilities of space system: jump, gravity and universal compass are one set.

A universal compass is a positioning ability.

The existence of all matter will have an impact on space, distorting space. Due to the continuity of space, this distortion will propagate infinite distances.

Three main points,

First, objects with greater mass will distort space more strongly, such as planets, stars, and various extreme celestial bodies.

There are no celestial bodies in the universe with exactly the same structure, and there are no celestial bodies with exactly the same spin speed, so the 'gravity fields' they form by distorting space are different.

Second, as the distance increases, the distortion effect of matter on space will decay exponentially, becoming insignificant and difficult to capture.

Third, in the starry sky, the 'gravity fields' between different stars will superimpose and interfere with each other.

The universal compass performs spatial positioning based on the 'gravity field' of massive stars. Therefore, the accuracy and sensitivity of the universal compass are crucial.

If the positioning of the universal compass is inaccurate, it may not lead to loss of direction, but slight errors will inevitably lead to deviations in the jump direction.

Between two points, a straight line is the shortest.

However, if the jump process always deviates from the straight course, corrects the course, deviates again, and corrects again, the result will be a broken line, which will definitely waste a lot of energy and time.

Long Bai controlled the artist and first tested the 'universal compass' ability of the Purple Red Technology Star Core.

It is only 2 light years away from the blue star system. During the induction, the positions of the stars and six planets are clearly visible.

Too close and the test is meaningless.

Long Bai tilted his head and asked: "Yu Teng, which direction is the Sheep Hoof star system? Do you know it?"

Yuto: "...I don't know."

Mo Lan asked: "You Flame Spider Traveling Merchant, don't you study the star map?"

"Research..."

Yu Teng reminded: "King Longbai Ant, leader Molan, I'm lost. When I reach the starry sky, I'm even more confused with the three-dimensional routes in all directions."

"……All right."

"The ability of the universal compass will be tested again later."

Long Bai paused and said: "Yu Teng, Mo Lan, you can go back to Star Spider and set off directly."

"good!"

"Walk!"

Yu Teng and Mo Lan returned to the Star Spider and drove the Star Spider back along the star network towards the blue star system.

As Long Bai's thoughts turned, the artist shrank and turned into water, covering his whole body and disappearing on the spot.

The jump stirs up space and may affect the stability of the star network.

Long Bai shuttled through space, teleporting 10 kilometers each time, a thousand times in a row, and did not stop until he was 10,000 kilometers away from the star network.

Activate the universal compass again to lock the direction of the blue star system.

The 'monster carapace' covering the body expands and turns into a spindle shape, tightly protecting the whole body.

Turn your thoughts and activate your space jump ability.

The purple technology star core began to extract the original energy from Long Bai's body at a high speed and continuously, transforming the original energy of space.

After 33 days, the energy storage is completed.

Finally, Long Bai separated a ray of space power to form a 'seal' to protect the Phytolacca divine pattern.

The original energy exploded, and a gap was torn in the space in front. The 'fusiform beast' wrapped in Long Bai accelerated its migration, disappeared into the dimensional channel, and disappeared.

next moment,

Passing through the torn space, appearing in the dark deep space.

Checking the gimbal compass, there is a blue star system ahead, much closer in distance.

Behind, through the power of the sun and moon, there is still a weak connection with Mo Lan.

"It seems like it's not that far away..."

"That's fine! Only by mastering the ability to jump in space can we be considered a 'cosmic life form' in the true sense..."

Long Bai murmured, looking at himself.

Within the core of the technological star, there is still one third of the space power left.

The rules of starship navigation must retain enough energy to cope with unexpected situations that may occur during the jump.

——In actual calculation, the charging time required for each jump is 21 days.

——The distance is relatively far, and the specific amount needs to be measured.

——There are no big problems with the universal compass and the ability to jump.

——Also has a ‘gravity’ ability.

Long Bai's thoughts turned, and the 'monster' covering his body retreated like water, regrouped on his side, and transformed into the form of a four-legged artist.

The technological star core extracts original energy, transforms the original energy of space, and accumulates power.

After a long time,

After accumulating power, the artist raised his left front foot and opened his claws. The original energy of space gathered in his claws and condensed into one point.

Suddenly, the surrounding space collapsed, and extreme gravity like a black hole erupted from his palm.

This process is extremely short, lasting only a ten thousandth of a second and ending.

The artist slowly retracted his claws.

Brew again, gather strength, and raise your claws.

The extremely powerful gravity flashes three times at high frequency.

The artist puts down his front legs, shrinks them, and turns into blue-purple water droplets, which sink into the ultimate beast star core on Long Bai's forehead.

Long Bai buried his head and activated his super brain power estimation.

In space navigation, the main function of the 'gravity' ability is communication and positioning.

A fleet sailing together will inevitably keep enough distance to avoid interference or collision with each other.

In addition, during the jump, deviations will inevitably occur.

Therefore, during the voyage, the starships use the 'gravity' ability to release signals, transmit information at super-light speed, and use the 'universal compass' ability to receive signals, determine the position and distance between each other, and maintain real-time communication.

Gravity capabilities are no problem either.

In the future, all the insects in Xianglan Mountain will eat Wang Baizi, and after fully mastering the 'technological star core', they can develop a set of gravity flashing signals for internal use.

You can make the settings more complicated and use super brain power to assist in calculation, release and cracking.

…

After a test, it was initially confirmed that all the abilities granted by Zihong Technology's star core were fine.

Long Bai travels through space and approaches the Star Network.

The pokeweed divine mark on his forehead flashed, and the ruling throne flew out, changing and magnifying, and hovering in the deep sky.

Long Bai lay on the throne of control, ate two white beads, regained his physical strength a little, and lay in wait.

…

Yu Teng piloted the Star Spider and carried Mo Lan, heading here at full speed.

The soul connection between Long Bai and Mo Lan also became clear bit by bit.

"stop!"

"Uto, slow down!"

Mo Lan urgently shouted stop.

Star Spider paused.

Yuto was stunned for a moment, then slowed down and continued to crawl forward.

After a while,

Mo Lan shouted: "Okay!"

Yuto piloted the Star Spider to get out of the star net.

Long Bai woke up from his hibernation, put away his throne, teleported in space, and quickly joined Yu Teng and Mo Lan.

Yutenghui reported: "The King of Dragon Cypress Ants is 1.87 trillion kilometers away and more than 0.2 light years away."

Mo Lan asked: "Long Bai, how long did it take you to accumulate energy?"

Long Bai: "21 days."

"OK--"

Mo Lan tilted his head, activated his super-brain power calculation, and quickly came to a conclusion, saying:

"Close to 3.5 times the speed of light!"

"Hongying is 1.8 times the speed of light?"

Mo Lan said with envy: "The speed given by the purple-red technological star core is nearly twice that of ordinary technological star cores."

Mo Lan tilted his head and continued to calculate, and said: "The distance between the Sheep's Hoof star system and the Azure star system is 687 light years? Then it will take close to 200 years?"

Mo Lan muttered: "It can be predicted that in the semi-star realm, even the planet realm, the jump ability given by the technological star core will be useless!"

Yuto: "The more powerful the spatial ability, the higher the requirements for evolutionary level."

"There must be a use for it."

As Long Bai spoke, blue-purple red water droplets floated out, expanded and transformed, turning into a giant hollow shuttle ten meters in length.

The giant shuttle cracked open a hatch.

Long Bai said happily: "Isn't it useful now? Come on, Yu Teng, Mo Lan, I will use my jump ability to take you back."

"Longbai Ant King!"

Yuteng raised his paw and pointed at the first-level star spider.

Long Bai waved his claws gently, and the giant shuttle moved forward and hovered fifty meters away. At the tip, a gap opened, and a huge single pupil opened, and an incandescent light beam was projected, covering the star spider.

The space swayed slightly, and the Star Spider entered the crystal space of the purple-red technology star core.

"That's it."

Long Bai waved his tentacles and led Yu Teng and Mo Lan onto the shuttle-shaped starship transformed by the beast.

Travel through space and teleport away from the star network.

The wind and thunder ability is activated, accelerating towards the direction of the blue star system, and at the same time begins to convert the accumulated space energy.

"Yu Teng, Mo Lan, you rest peacefully, I will wake you up when you get there."

"oh--"

"OK--"

Yu Teng and Mo Lan both straightened their legs, a little nervous and not very relieved.

Long Bai's tentacles waved, and a ray of original energy shot out, sealing Mo Lan's merchant land space.

Yu Teng glanced at Mo Lan, then turned to look at Long Bai, and said sadly: "When I was on my home planet, since my fourth instar, I, the Insect King, went to the Phytolacca Sacred Tree every day and told it to arrange a Phytolacca Sacred Tree for me too. Lu Guo. Even when I left my home planet at the age of 9, the Phytolacca Sacred Tree would not be given to me.”

"King Longbai Ant, leader Molan, the pokeweed fruit used on you is wasted~"

Long Bai: "..."

Cymbidium:"……"

It seems that it is indeed a bit of a waste.

The crystalline dimensional space attached to the purple technology star core has a diameter of over 1,200 meters and a volume of over 900 million cubic meters.

The crystal barrier is strong and stable, and can easily carry heavy items such as first-level star spiders, ecological base stations, and life bases.

The cubic dimensional space given by the Phytolacca Divine Pattern has a side length of just over 200 meters, a pitiful 8 million cubic meters, small and fragile.

This is more embarrassing.

Long Bai and Mo Lan worked hard to obtain the pokeweed fruit, and spent a lot of time meditating, strengthening and improving. Before they could be put to great use, they faced the problem of being eliminated.

Mo Lan suddenly grasped the key point and asked: "Yu Teng, do you talk to the Phytolacca Sacred Tree every day? Aren't you going to trade with the Traveling Merchant?"

Yu Teng: "I'm too stupid. I don't know how to trade. I always get lost. Once I go out, I can't return to the merchant land."

Mo Lan: "Then you will stay in the Shanglu ancestral land and eat the 'legacy' left to you by Zi Rui?"

Yuto: "You can't say that..."

"When Zi Rui left, it donated all its excess wealth to the tribe, leaving me only the resources to evolve the Insect King. But I evolved the Insect Queen and quickly successfully condensed the first divine pattern. I thought about it "Although I am stupid, my evolutionary talent is not bad, so I talked to the Phytolacca Sacred Tree."

"Then, within a few years, the Phytolacca Sacred Tree readily agreed and returned the resources Zi Rui donated to the tribe to me."

——Agree readily?

Long Bai and Mo Lan tilted their heads and squinted their eyes.

Yuto: "The main reason why I can leave my home planet is because of my own hard work!"

"..."

Long Bai and Mo Lan were suffocated.

Mo Lan: "The Phytolacca Sacred Tree still has a good temper~"

Yuto: "...Yes."

Yu Teng: "The elimination mechanism of the natural laws of the home star is as cruel as the laws of the universe. All insects that can escape from the home star must have their own faults."

"..."

Long Bai and Mo Lan were silent.

This is wrong.

There are also some bugs with low abilities who rely entirely on the resources of their elders to break through evolution and leave their home planet.

For example, Nandi, Poisonous Bean... Yuteng is almost in the same situation.

Long Bai asked: "Yu Teng, you have good spatial talent."

Yu Teng: "It seems to be okay. I haven't eaten pokeweed before, so I can't tell you specifically."

Long Bai: "Then you can help me as a reference. Do you think it is possible to transfer the pokeweed divine pattern to the technological star core?"

Yu Teng: "I have thought about this issue. The technological star core is a space material and is more compatible with the pokeweed divine pattern. I think it is okay."

Long Bai clicked his tentacles with satisfaction and asked: "Then do you think it is possible to combine and fuse the pokeweed divine pattern and the traces given to the crystal space by the technological star core, and then merge the two dimensional spaces?"

Yu Teng: "I have also thought about this problem. It's hard to say. It's possible in theory, but it will be difficult in practice. King Longbai Ant, leader Molan, you can try it."

Long Bai and Mo Lan focused their tentacles.

The most precious thing about the pokeweed space given by the pokeweed tree produced by the pokeweed tree is its growth potential. It is the ‘seed’ of ‘world space’ and has the potential to evolve into ‘world space’.

Phytolacca fruit itself is indeed a precious divine product.

However, since Long Bai, Mo Lan and other insects do not have space talent, the pokeweed divine patterns are destined to be unable to be combined and added to the ultimate beast star core, unable to evolve into 'world space', and there is no future at all.

For Long Bai and Mo Lan, transferring the pokeweed divine pattern to the technological star core and combining it with the technological star core in space is undoubtedly the best choice.

Long Bai then asked: "Yu Teng, do you think that if the merger is successful, can I separate the 'artists' and continue to improve the space through meditation?"

Yuto: "..."

Yuto: "Uto is stupid, Yuto can't think of going that far."

Yuto activated his super brain power and thought for a few seconds before thinking, "This is even harder to judge."

"Talent cannot be imitated. Long Bai Ant King, you imitate the artist's blood and soul, but you cannot imitate the artist's spatial talent."

"but……"

"Longbai Ant King, your situation is very special. Your purple-red technological star core is integrated with one-ninth of the space law divine stone..."

Yuto: "The situation is too special. It's hard to explain~"

"I understand what you mean……"

Long Bai: "Let's talk about it after we return to the Azure Star System. Yu Teng, Mo Lan, you guys have a rest."

…

Without telling the insects in Citi Mountain, he quietly left the blue star system to test his abilities.

Returned quietly.

Everything is business as usual,

Mo Lan guards Shi Lanxing.

Long Bai guarded Hanlan Star and lived deep in the ant nest, thinking about how to transfer the Phytolacca divine pattern to the technological star core.

With super brain power calculations, after several attempts, he succeeded without much effort.

Continue to try to combine the pokeweed divine pattern with the 'marks' on the technological star core that correspond to the crystalline space.

It feels like it works, but there is a serious imbalance between strength and weakness.

Currently, the 'traces' given to the crystalline space by the scientific and technological star core have an absolute advantage. Once integrated, they will annex and eliminate the Phytolacca divine pattern.

It is necessary to first strengthen and improve the pokeweed divine pattern through meditation and transform it into a 'star mark'. It is best to increase the space to a side length of more than a kilometer.

Long Bai was very busy, but he didn't have much time to hibernate and meditate, so he started trying again, trying to find a way to separate the 'monster' as an independent individual, without the command and control of Long Bai's body, to meditate and improve independently. (End of chapter)
