Astral Ant Tribe

Long Bai officially named the newly arrived survival mothership 'Hongdao No. 1', and together with Shan Lingyi, drove it back.

A journey of 32,000 light years, 150 times the speed of light, lasting 214 years, arrived at the Meran 13 survival mothership.

The team is busy unfolding in a straight line...

Insects such as orchids, junipers, white thorns, and white rice teleported through space.

"Wow!"

"Your Majesty!"

“You can really buy a survival mothership!”

"How to calculate the price?"

"It must be expensive, right?"

"In exchange for source points?"

"How is the source point priced?"

"..."

Long Bai activated the ability of the Tree Flower Heart Realm to directly write the transaction information into the soul consciousness of the insects.

——400 times the sky-high price?

——Yuandian is so worthless?

——Is it too dark?

——Then, Hefahao... made a fortune!

The insects fried the pot, and then cheered and ecstatically.

The Black Law is nurturing a massive amount of primary and secondary raw energy materials!

When the time comes, they will be made into matching motherships and landing ships and sold in the same way... Then where else can we find a source? Let's all just make a fortune!

"Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty!"

The fish and insects rushed over cheering, their huge bodies moving at high speed, and they crashed directly into it.

Bai Qian waved his tentacles to stop him.

From behind, the soldiers in the starship also arrived in groups.

…

Work is suspended,

All soldiers entered the Hongdao No. 1 survival mothership to familiarize themselves with the environment and arranged a rest room.

Now there are two survival motherships, one fast and one slow.

50,000 Zerg warriors, redistributed.

Hongdao No. 1 deployed 25,000 soldiers, 20,000 of whom drove landing ships to search, spread out in a straight line over 100 light years, and the other 5,000 took turns to rest.

The Meran Type 13 survival mothership was officially named 'Hongdao No. 2', and also deployed 25,000 soldiers. Similarly, 20,000 soldiers drove the landing ship to search, and the other 5,000 soldiers took turns to rest.

The method of searching for source points has also been optimized and improved:

Every time a point is reached, the fish points to the direction of two existing source points.

Hongdao No. 1 and Hongdao No. 2 survival motherships operate separately.

The search line length was shortened from the original 150 light-years to 100 light-years.

The source points guided by fish and insects often exceed a distance of 100 light years. Beyond this distance, the possibility of a third-level source point cannot be ruled out.

With this optimization, the accuracy rate of fish and insect guidance dropped to about 40%.

But there is no need to waste time on an unimportant and worthless source point 100 light years away.

Every time a point is reached, the fish and insect point three times in three directions. The Hongdao No. 1 survival mothership launched quickly and searched twice. Hongdao 2 searches once.

Probably, at least one source point can be found.

The team's efficiency has more than doubled, and on average, it takes less than 8 years to complete a single point of investigation.

…

Among the routes planned by the Tabor, 880 points are excluded with ultra-high efficiency.

But it seems the luck has really run out.

A thousand years have passed and nothing has been gained.

Instead, they encountered two small fleets consisting of one or two thousand insects.

In the vast deep space, encountering a fleet can be said to be fate. Encountering two fleets by chance means that a large number of fleets have begun to penetrate into the 41st star field.

The insects began to feel a little anxious and accelerated their movements.

Another thousand years have passed and there is still no harvest.

Sunburn Ability Observation frequently detected fleets of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of insects operating in star field 41.

One of these fleets alone is nothing. If there are more of them, bad things may happen...

The originally lively atmosphere of the Xianglan Mountain Army gradually became depressing and dull...

The only thing that can be considered good news is that the White Crystal Chamber of Commerce team led by Xia Yue was the first to find the third-level source point of Star Domain 02 from among the vast fleets.

Perhaps it was terrible news. Not long after, it was very obvious that a large number of fleets were pouring into Star Domain 41.

…

A natural star system with a diameter of about 1.2 million kilometers and four planets of different sizes.

When he first entered Star Territory No. 41, Long Bai came to investigate.

Later, as the information collected increased, the Tabor made calculations and concluded that there was a probability of a third-level source point nearby...

The route was adjusted and turned around again.

Long Bai ordered that the two survival motherships be directly merged into an orbit 100 million kilometers away from the star.

Mo Lan led Yu Zhong out of the cabin.

White worms, white rice, ghost fan, star cloud cypress, red maple and other insects followed out slowly.

There is no need for Mo Lan to give orders,

The fish and insect found a good position, slowly turned their bodies, and sensed the flow of cosmic energy in the surrounding space. After a while, their huge bodies stagnated, and after sensing for a while, they raised their paws and pointed:

"Second King! Over there!"

"Okay! Bai Zian! Ghost Fan! Send the order, Hongdao No. 1 sets off!"

"receive!"

"receive!"

Bai Zian and Gui Fan agreed, activated their universal compass abilities, locked the direction, turned around and began to direct the action.

Yu Zhong continued to sense it, and after half a month, he hesitated, raised his paw, and pointed.

"My lord, my lord, the number of source points in this star field is relatively small. There is only one over there..."

"Have you encountered a first-level or second-level source point?"

"have no idea."

"Can't you point to the third direction?"

"I can point in a hundred directions, but they all feel far away."

"Don't point blindly."

"I don't have it~"

"Stop talking nonsense. Look for two directions first. Don't be lazy. Get moving. Everyone, get moving."

"Move! Move!"

Molan urged.

Longbai ordered to move.

Hongdao No. 2 Survival Mothership followed the direction pointed by Yuchong, and the Cong warriors deployed in a straight line efficiently and orderly.

Longbai and Molan did not follow the team.

Longbai led Shan Lingyi to land on an ice-covered planet in the star system and guided him to practice water system ability.

Molan led Yuchong to directly land on the star and use the high temperature quenching ability inside the star.

Yuchong has been stuck in the Star Mark Realm for more than 4,000 years, but has not completed the normal evolution and growth of the Nine Marks Integration. His mind is still a little confused and he has not been able to integrate.

Shan Lingyi is stuck in the Half Star Realm, and Longbai has been suppressing it and not letting it evolve. First, master all abilities and lay a solid foundation.

Wait for the fleet led by President Bai Wei to arrive, get the law fruit, adapt to evolution as the absolute core, rebuild the core ability, and then consider evolving to the Planetary Realm.

Longbai is currently only at the Star Realm evolution level, which is too low. Such strength is not enough to control the existing huge wealth.

Longbai himself is also thinking about the unity of traces.

…

Time flies,

Longbai only felt that he had just closed his eyes for a while, and was awakened by the sudden and strange space fluctuations.

Subconsciously alert, the mental power and soul-fixing ability started to scan at the same time.

Hongfeng took Xingyunzhi, and the two of them jumped directly into the planet recklessly.

The gravitational pull of the planet,

the frigate lost control, rolled and fell rapidly.

Shan Lingyi flashed into the air, trying his best to activate his ability to help stabilize it.

Hongfeng and Xingyunzhi were teleported out of the cabin in a panic, their tentacles waving wildly, shaking their mental power and shouting:

"My King!"

"Captain Longbai!"

"Good news!"

"Finally found it! The third-level source!"

"..."

Longbai, who was still thinking about whether he should severely reprimand and teach these two guys a lesson, heard the words, whistled, soared into the air, and teleported to the place in an instant.

"Level 3 source point?"

"Yes! Great King! We found it!"

Xingyun Zhi was so happy that he hung in the air, his tentacles and six legs swaying and kicking uncontrollably.

Hongfeng was equally excited and reported seriously: "No. 022 Fir, Second Battalion, Team 1, Group 3, a little soldier named 'Gray Chi' found it. They sent a message from the scene saying that the estimated concentration of the Force is as high as 3.48, just a little short of 3.5 for the Level 3 source point!"

"Great King, Great King, please move quickly and mark it!"

Xingyun Zhi raised his claws and carefully pointed to the direction of the star: Be careful not to be snatched by the Second Great King~

The Second Great King was so sharp that he had already noticed the movement here.

The Second Great King rushed out of the star and was using the Sunburn ability to look over here.

The Glorious Throne carried the fish and insects, teleported continuously, and flashed over.

"..."

"Hello, Second King."

"Second King, you've worked hard."

"What's so exciting? Found the third-level source?"

"...Yes."

"That's great!"

Molan was ecstatic.

"Oh~ Great~ Second King is so awesome~" Yuchong jumped and cheered.

"Shan Lingyi, Xingyun Zhi, you stay here first and accompany Yuchong."

"Yuchong, don't run around! Be careful if you get lost, we won't be able to find you, okay?"

"I know!"

"Longbai, Taber! Hongfeng, let's go!"

...

...

About 84 light years away from the star system.

Hongdao No. 1 is carrying a swarm of insects and is expanding in a straight line. Before it is fully expanded, a discovery has been made here.

Hongdao No. 1 turned back again.

Tens of thousands of soldiers are surrounding the source. Soldiers nearby received the news and are desperately rushing here.

"King!"

"Second King!"

"Red Maple Commander!"

A slender longhorn beetle warrior with a yellow carapace and black stripes opened his elytra and flapped his wings vigorously, waving his slender tentacles and shouting.

"I found it. Ha! Ha! I'm rich! I want to lie down!"

"King, I'm lying down. I won't work anymore. I'll go back to the territory and lie down peacefully..."

"..."

Not all warriors are ambitious. On the contrary, most Zerg warriors are not ambitious.

Many warriors who found zero-level, first-level, and second-level source points, after receiving generous rewards, clearly stated that they didn't want to work anymore and wanted to go back to the territory and lie down.

You can help the Chamber of Commerce to protect the territory, take care of the Force plants, and do some simple and easy work. You don't want to do dirty and tiring work anymore, especially this kind of deep space search for source points. I don't want to do it again in this life. From then on, focus on evolution and growth, with evolution as the first goal and evolution as the true god as the ultimate goal.

Molan is not very happy.

——I worked so hard to raise you, but you want to lie down.

——If you lie down, how can I make money?

Molan looked at the guy named Huichijing coldly, but it was difficult to attack him. He looked threatening.

Longbai didn't care.

The lucky bugs who can find the source point are few after all, and it will not have much impact on the operation of the Chamber of Commerce.

Longbai readily agreed: "Of course!"

Huichijing ignored Molan's cold eyes, and pointed to a longhorn beetle warrior with the same slender body, black shell and grass yellow spots, and said:

"My king, this is my elder, Heichijing, it can come with me... My king, the third-level source point, can the reward be divided equally?"

Long Bai: "Okay. It can be like this. The positions in the Chamber of Commerce for Hui Chiju and Black Chiju will be directly upgraded to 18 levels, and each will receive 50 million Chamber of Commerce shares. In the future, you will need God-given force food for your evolution and growth, and you will need to improve your abilities. Divine fruits and fruits of law are supplied on demand and given priority.”

"What do you think of Gray Chi and Black Chi?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Chief Longbai!"

Hui Chiju and Hei Chiju thanked them ecstatically.

——Two more guys climbed out of the sea of ​​suffering, became free, and had a smooth life as a worm.

The insects around him were envious and full of expectations.

Looking forward to my turn next.

"..."

"Wow! The fish bugs are so powerful!"

Mo Lan cheered to break the sudden silence and urged: "Mark the source point quickly. Your Majesty, will you do it? Or shall I do it?"

"The Second King's contribution to this third-level source point is not small."

Long Bai waved his paw to signal.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Mo Lan was happy and stepped forward to activate his ability and quickly complete the source point mark.

Long Bai shook his mental power and shouted, "Soldiers who have not found the source point, don't be impatient. The current total number of source points in the entire Amber Galaxy must have exceeded 100 million, and with the continuous and rapid increase in derivatives, everyone has plenty of opportunities."

"Furthermore, with the Chamber of Commerce controlling so many sources, wealth will increase dramatically, and the salaries, rewards, and dividends of all insects will increase simultaneously. When the Chamber of Commerce becomes rich, all insects will also become rich, and everyone will have a bright future."

"Yes."

"When the Chamber of Commerce gets rich, all of us insects get rich."

"The king is mighty."

"The second great king is wise!"

"..."

The red maple brings the rhythm, and the insects cheer and shout along with it.

The mood was high, and after the carnival,

Long Bai gave the order: "Hong Maple, run faster, notify Hongdao No. 2, return to the star system, bring the fish and insects, and come quickly to gather."

"Bai Qian, Gui Fan, count the team, pilot Hongdao No. 1, and recover the scattered soldiers."

"Xingyunrong, Xingyunnai, you stay with the second king to guard the third-level source point. The other soldiers have worked hard and go back to the mothership to rest."

Long Bai said seriously: "Two level three sources are not enough! We have to continue to look for the third and fourth. At this stage, the starry sky, big forces, and large fleets are advancing in an orderly manner, and they are strong competitors that cannot be ignored. At the same time, There are countless small and medium-sized fleets running around in the sky, causing chaos. "

"Star Territory 41 is complete. Where should we look for the next step? This is a big problem."

"I am going to the Manchi star system. According to the rules, I will report my harvest to the Manchi master, and at the same time, I will exchange for the latest information on the origin exploration of each star field."

"Also, it will take nearly 30,000 years for the starship materials bred by the black method to take shape. President Bai Wei's fleet will also arrive 30,000 years later. 30,000 years is too long. Scale Oak selects 50 technology warriors to follow Let me go. I will try again and see if I can get another 'Sea Wolf Bass 150-13 Survival Mothership' on credit from Lord Manchi, and then upgrade and strengthen our search team."

After Long Bai finished speaking, he waved his claws to indicate action, and at the same time added: "After the team has assembled, everyone will rest here. Remember to send insects to notify the Citizen Hill and Boshu Bay Chamber of Commerce to gather and prepare for the long-distance star voyage."

"clear!"

"receive!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Chief!"

"..."

The insects agreed and acted quickly.

"Wait a mininute."

Mo Lan hurriedly called out and asked, "Your Majesty, wait a moment."

Long Bai: "..."

Mo Lan asked: "If you report it, you have to give the third-level source point an official name, right? This is related to the name of a star field in the future. Should we discuss it with everyone?"

Long Bai: "Melan constellation, Melan star system, Melan star field?"

"Low-key!"

"Is it suitable?"

Mo Lan said happily: "Then it's settled! Okay, that's enough, go and come back quickly!"

"..."

Long Bai took out the Tubo and waited for a moment before Lin Qi led the team and set off together.

…

…

A round trip to the Red Star System took twenty-eight years.

Long Bai reported all the sources discovered by the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce.

Likewise,

I also obtained from Lord Manchi the discovered and reported source point coordinates of each star field in the Amber Galaxy, as well as the approximate activity areas of large chambers of commerce.

It's almost all useless spam.

However, we successfully obtained a 'Sea Wolf Bass 150-13 Type Survival Mothership' on credit, which was officially named 'Hongdao No. 3'. It was led by Quercus Linus and drove the ship back home.

…

The teams of Xianglan, Citigroup, and Boshuwan Chamber of Commerce have completed their assembly and completed the maintenance and material supply of the starship.

Sixty thousand soldiers moved their claws together to collect materials nearby, and piled up an asteroid with a diameter of 4,000 kilometers, overlapping the third-level source point.

…

The top management of the chamber of commerce gathered for a meeting.

Long Bai raised his paw, and a little white light bloomed on the tip of his toe, condensing to form an amber galaxy holographic star map, with purple gold, gold, silver, and green light spots representing different levels of source points shining.

"Information obtained from Lord Manchi, currently, a total of 197 third-level source points have been discovered in the Amber Galaxy."

"176 of them were occupied by amber galaxies in the early stages. That is to say, so far, only 21 have been newly discovered and reported. The third-level source points are not so easy to find. This data is far lower than our prediction. Of course, It’s not ruled out that someone found it and concealed it.”

"Tabo's prediction is still very accurate. In the star areas numbered 01 to 10, level three source points were successfully found, with a hit rate of 100%! In the star areas numbered 11 to 20, 6 were found. The other 5 source points were also found. They are all found within the number sequence 21 to 50.”

"According to the statistics of Master Manchi, there are currently more than 40 million Zerg warriors, divided into large and small fleets, and have entered the Amber Galaxy one after another. All Zerg are the same, they only have the third-level source point in their eyes. Almost all of these fleets are concentrated in front of the serial number. Starfield No. 50."

"What's particularly disgusting is that most insects, after discovering the source point, do not report the coordinates, but deliberately hide them. On the one hand, it wastes the time of other competitors, and on the other hand, it prevents other insects from integrating the source point coordinate data , deducing and calculating the relatively accurate distribution points of the third-level source points.”

"The value of the information obtained from Lord Manchi is almost zero."

Long Bai paused and said: "Before us, we have two choices: first, follow the trend and enter the nearest star field 42, or run a little further and go to star field 38, and follow the 4000 Thousands of warriors compete..."

40 million!

Didn’t it mean that the Divine Tree Civilization had just recovered and was very weak?

Where the hell did so many bugs come from?

How long has it been since this started?

How did you get here?

The heads of all the insects were numb when they heard it.

Leader Sequoia raised his paw and asked, "Chief Longbai, as you said, the second option is..."

Long Bai: "It is estimated that after the Amber Galaxy is completely stabilized, 300 to 330 third-level source points will be born. Currently, 197 have been discovered and reported, and the ones that have not been reported... a rough estimate, a conservative estimate, even if A total of 200 have been discovered so far.”

"Theoretically, there are 100 to 130 third-level source points to be discovered in the Amber Galaxy. However, since the current galaxy is in the early stage of stable order, many of the theoretical source points may not have been derived yet. When will they be derived? Maybe Right now, maybe tomorrow, next year, or a hundred years from now, a thousand years from now, ten thousand years from now, a hundred thousand years from now, or even beyond.”

Long Bai: "The second option I'm talking about is to enter a star field outside of serial number 100, where there is a third-level source point probability of about 40%. The location is relatively remote, supplies are difficult, and smart insects will not set foot in the star field in a short time. domain."

"With the guidance of fish and insects, it takes an average of eight years to find a source point. If the Citi Chamber of Commerce and the Bo Shue Wan Chamber of Commerce join in and cooperate, the time can be further shortened."

Long Bai said, a thought.

The shining stars dimmed, leaving only three star fields.

One of them is familiar to everyone, No. 101. Soldiers are specially sent to collect light information. After research, it is indeed a bit "remote".

This so-called "remoteness" is completely opposite to the remoteness in common sense.

It is located near the center of the galaxy.

A new galaxy evolves from chaos to order, and the overall trend is to develop from the periphery of the galaxy inward.

At this stage, most of the popular star fields are located on the periphery of the galaxy.

The star fields located in the middle and inner rings of the galaxy are defined as 'remote'.

Long Bai tapped his tentacles lightly, and a ray of green light shot out. He pointed and said: "Everyone knows Star Field 101. Let's go here as our first stop."

"My idea is that everyone spends 10,000 years to find 1,500 to 1,800 source points here. Then, we hide the coordinates of these source points, do not report them, and do not share them."

"Tabo can synthesize the collected information and more accurately deduce and calculate the possible location of the third-level source point, or the approximate location of the unsourced point."

"Plan a circular search route. 30,000 years later, the second batch of warriors led by President Bai Wei will arrive. We will specifically follow this route and continue searching in a circular manner."

“During the search process, we will definitely discover new source points, enrich the database, and constantly change and optimize routes.”

"In this way, we can ensure that when the third-level source point evolves one day in the future, it will be discovered and marked in time!"

"In 30,000 years, we will have time to deploy in the three star fields!"

"Then, for the other two, I chose the 'grey star field' that was searched by the Amber Chamber of Commerce in the early days but could not find the third-level source point. I consulted Master Manchi for details and selected stars numbered 124 and 125. domain."

"At the beginning, the Amber Galaxy was not promising, so we did not search carefully. There were not many zero-level, first-level, and second-level source points discovered. We will arrange them in these two star fields in order."

"After this is completed, No. 101 and No. 124 will belong to our Pandan Chamber of Commerce."

"In Star Area 125, the Citi Chamber of Commerce and the Boshu Bay Chamber of Commerce work together and act separately. In the end, whoever finds it will get it. Then, the star system is built and giving up a life planet to the party that has not found it is considered compensation. What do you think? "

Chief Sequoia was the first to raise his paw and said: "I agree! Chief Longbai's method is more stable."

"There are currently 40 million insects competing in the first 50 sequence star fields. In two or three thousand years, there will probably be 50 to 60 million insects. In another five or six thousand years, will it increase to 70 to 80 million, or even hundreds of millions?" Insects? Searching for source points is not all about luck, it’s more reliable to calculate the probability. With so many insects competing, the chance is too slim to avoid vicious competition!”

"The great leader Long Bai has a wonderful plan!"

"I agree!"

"I agree too!"

"We will make a fortune following the leader Long Bai!"

All the ant queens and queen bees in the Bo Shu Wan Chamber of Commerce agreed one after another.

Longbai's plan sounds promising!

We walked from our home planet, Boshu Bay, to the White Crystal Galaxy, and to today's Amber Galaxy. Longbai has never made a mistake in major decisions.

This time, everyone followed Longbai. Although they did not find the third-level source point, they found a lot of zero-level and first-level source points, as well as second-level source points. They have made a fortune.

Unconditional obedience.

Longbai continued: "A new 'Rainbow III Survival Mothership' with a speed of 150 times the speed of light is purchased and is expected to arrive in 200 years."

"The Rainbow II Survival Mothership will be eliminated, but not completely eliminated. It will be replaced by a 'Cargo Mothership' and handed over to Dudou and Dumai for logistics and transportation. 50 technology bugs and 50 elite warriors will be sent to assist."

"Dudou, Dumai, you will drive Rainbow II first, carry food, and head to Star Field No. 101."

"The main force is not in a hurry to set off. Continue to rest and wait for the reunion with Rainbow III and go together."

"Okay!"

"Understood!"

The bugs agreed.

After discussion, the main force continued to rest.

As usual,

Longbai led Shan Lingyi and Xingyunzhi to the 101st star field first.

They needed to survey the naturally formed star system, find habitable points, and build logistics supply stations.

Molan would not go.

She stayed to accompany Yuchong, which was a big treasure now. But it was too big, and the Taber could no longer accommodate it. (End of this chapter)
