Astral Ant Tribe

The main star of Pandan is a mineral star called "Shidoulan". The north and south poles of the planet are covered with rectangular buildings.

Connected in the building are intelligent computing devices with super computing power.

In the dark deep sky, various observation equipment are arranged to collect galaxy information, conduct and transmit calculators, and use these calculators to deduce the evolution of galaxies.

At the same time, other life planets in the Amber Galaxy directly controlled by the Pandan Chamber of Commerce have also deployed various types of equipment to collect information on the birth of Zerg warriors, birth information of God-given seeds, information on the activities of Zerg warriors, information on the evolution and growth of Zerg warriors, and force power. Plant yield information, ecological change information on the living planet and other data.

Insects such as Ghost Fan, Nebula Cypress, Purple Sha, and Scale Oak organized 50,000 technological insects to run around the Amber Galaxy, sorting, storing, bringing back, and inputting the collected data into computing equipment.

Compute, reason, and train intelligent systems with goals.

Supported by the computing power of powerful equipment and nurtured by huge data, soon the first digital life was born, named ‘Smart Ant No. 001’.

The Pedirnan civilization used third-level raw energy materials to design and create an integer of 10,000 'containers' of various shapes.

The black giant-headed worker ants are shaped like 'containers', with bright white character numbers on their foreheads, Intelligent Ant 001, Intelligent Ant 002, Intelligent Ant 003...

Container in the shape of a black giant-headed soldier ant, numbered War Ant 001, War Ant 002, War Ant 003...

There are also Snow Iron Flame Spiders, Orchid Mantises, and Bionic Omnic Containers in the shape of Lizzie Bees.

There are also ship-shaped ‘containers’ in the shape of an Animasa all-purpose ship, which are numbered according to rules: Animasa 001, Animasa 002, Animasa 003…

In addition, there are Glimpse reconnaissance ships, Peregrine reconnaissance ships, as well as god-class transport ships and energy ship-shaped ‘containers’.

There are ten types in total, with 1000 numbers each.

The digital life named Intelligent Ant No. 001 is introduced into the 'container', and the digital life initially possesses a body.

Like a newly born Zerg warrior, he is full of curiosity about all new things. His eyes and scanning ability are constantly scanning the dragon cypress, black ti, ghost fan, star cloud cypress, purple brake, scale oak and other insects.

Finally, it settled on Heiti, who was inexplicably kind.

"come over!"

Heiti greeted.

The six legs of Intelligent Ant No. 001 moved somewhat uncoordinatedly. It has a strong adaptive ability. After staggering for a few steps, it adjusted itself. It walked neatly to Heiti and swung its tentacles in a messy manner. It soon understood the purpose of the tentacles. The curved tentacles gently touch the black ti, conveying friendly thoughts.

"Your Majesty! Look!"

Heiti was inexplicably surprised and praised: "What a smart 'omnic'!"

nonsense! Having absorbed so much data, it’s hard to say whether you’re smart or not, you’re definitely ‘born knowing it’.

"It's okay! So far, there's no problem."

Long Bai made a neutral comment and said, "Let's go, find a suitable place and test it out."

Scanning with mental power, the seeds of Pandan's main star, Azure God-given, are in the ripening season.

Long Bai activated his ability and teleported together under the blue tree.

Zhanlan: "..."

Heiti raised his claws and pointed at the fruit hanging on the veins under the broad leaves, and gave the order: "Smart Ant 001, with the power of hydra tentacles, pick it."

The 'Smart Ant' is positioned as a logistical intelligent machine, equipped with more than 300 basic 'skills' such as water control, hydrological shield, boiling, freezing, water creation, hydra tentacles, prosperity, bean vine entanglement, tranquility, and red black pattern.

Intelligent ant 001 hesitated for a tenth of a second, and then the original energy core in the body started to operate. The tentacles, six legs, and four wings extended out 12 water-current tentacles. They quickly lengthened and aimed at the fruits under the leaves to start picking.

"stop!"

Heiti hurriedly shouted stop, raised his claws to grab it, picked off a blue, crystal clear fruit, and brought it to Intelligent Ant 001, saying: "This is a mature fruit. The fruit can only be picked after it is mature. Do you understand?"

Smart Ant 001 moves its tentacles.

Heiti gave the order again: "Smart Ant 001, pick."

Intelligent Ant 001 visually scans and shakes its hydra tentacles to accurately locate the ripe fruits and start harvesting...

Each of the 12 tentacles plucked one, and then felt a little overwhelmed and froze in place...

Heiti waited for three seconds. Seeing that it could not process it on its own, he activated his power and condensed it into a wooden frame, saying: "Smart Ant 001, collect the fruits you picked together, and you can put them in here."

The 12 polyp tentacles move together to place the fruit into the wooden frame.

Zhan Lan couldn't help but said suspiciously: "Heiti, is this the omnic you trained? It's not 'intelligent' at all."

"Just born, just starting to adapt to training."

Heiti commanded: "Smart Ant 001, continue picking! Pick all the ripe fruits on the tree."

Intelligent Ant 001 acts according to the instructions.

He is stupid and has no sense of independent thinking and decision-making.

This thing also requires a lot of learning and training before it can have the ability to perform tasks independently.

"..."

Long Bai followed for a while and left bored.

Heiti stayed and continued training.

…

Smart Ant 002, Smart Ant 003, Smart Ant 004 and other digital lives were born one after another, imported into the 'container', and sent to the 'Blue Island' where the blue took root. They first tried to learn knowledge in the agricultural field and engage in work in the agricultural field.

Through work practice, we can accumulate more ‘life information’ and further cultivate self-awareness.

…

Digital life paired with a 'container' can be called an 'omnic', but strictly speaking, it is not a true omnic.

It still needs to go through a transformation.

Digital life uses the ‘container’ to carry out various life activities such as work, study, and communication. When the autonomous consciousness is strong to a certain extent, it absorbs the original force and evolves to condense the ‘mechanical heart’. Only then can it be considered a real intelligent machine, and it will also be initially ‘finalized’ at this time.

The shape of the intelligent ant is almost finalized as a ‘logistics type bionic intelligent machine’.

The shape of the war ant is initially determined as a ‘combat type bionic intelligent machine’.

The ship type is a ‘ship type intelligent machine’ with different functions.

After the intelligent machine condenses the mechanical heart, it evolves and grows by eating various energy materials from the primary 1st age.

As the evolution level increases, it gradually takes shape. There is still a chance of ‘transformation’ under the star realm, and after the star realm, it is completely fixed.

The ‘container’ made of third-level energy materials saves the hard work of strengthening the body. It only needs to absorb the essence of the ‘mechanical heart’ from the energy materials, and the growth rate is very fast.

…

Hei Ti's re-evolution has reached the star realm level, initially integrating the power of the Heart of Eternity, and taking another new evolutionary path of "mechanical bionics, intelligent machine creation, digital creation" based on the evolution of "adaptive evolution".

Designed by Hei Fa, using the kinetic energy system of a super-giant transport ship of the God level, the energy storage system of a super-giant energy ship of the God level, and making maximum use of the components of the God level starship, and organized by Kong Shannai, Yuan Ling, and Yuan Zhen of Pei Diernan civilization, a 38-kilometer-long ant-shaped "container" was modified and built, with a maximum speed of 3,300 times the speed of light.

Named "Hei Ti No. 1 Mothership"

Hei Ti controlled the Heart of Eternity to take over, and indirectly controlled the Hei Ti No. 1 Mothership with the Heart of Eternity as the intermediary, turning into a half-force life and a half-intelligent machine life.

The Heart of Eternity gave Hei Ti extraordinary computing power and command capabilities. The Hei Ti No. 1 Mothership is both the "nest room" of the intelligent machine and the central hub of command.

Heiti took great pains to give each omnipotent machine a unique name, and commanded them to engage in agricultural labor, scientific and technological production, combat training, planetary development, interstellar exploration, interstellar shipping and other work.

In the initial stage, there were 10,000 omnipotent machines, and the supply of energy materials was unlimited.

In just a hundred years, all of them evolved to the king level.

In just a thousand years, they broke through the trace realm and evolved to the half-star realm, that is, the "first-level cosmic omnipotent machine".

After the half-star realm, the evolution speed was slightly slower, but it was still far beyond the normal evolution speed of the Zerg and Tree Clan.

This is also the reason why omnipotent machines frighten all civilizations. As long as there are resources, they can quickly and in batches produce cosmic-level combat power.

Omnipotent machines have no souls, unlimited lifespans, tireless, fearless, and can also load high-level weapon systems that surpass the evolutionary level. Their combat power should not be underestimated.

But there are also shortcomings, that is, when the Constellation Realm breaks through and is promoted to the Domination Realm, it needs to consume a large amount of third-level energy materials for self-strengthening and the transformation of the mechanical heart.

The million-strong SMART army carefully built by Lord Manchi devoured all the starship materials accumulated by God King Chi in the new and old universe eras, and secretly fed countless god-level starships exchanged from the Temple of Gubu Lord without telling everyone. So far, less than 100,000 SMARTs in the Domination Realm have been cultivated, of which 99% are stagnant in the Star Domain Domination Realm, and only a very small number of "confidants" have reached the Starry Sky Domination Realm.

Xianglan Chamber of Commerce does not have so many resources to supply Heiti's SMART Corps, so first cultivate 10,000 and test it.

…

Longbai continued to observe, and after confirming that Heiti and its SMART Corps had no problems, he began to think about future development issues and handle Chamber of Commerce affairs.

The system of Xianglan Chamber of Commerce has long been inapplicable.

After careful consideration from all aspects, Longbai decided to carry out a thorough reform.

The share and dividend system was abolished, and all resources of the Chamber of Commerce belonged to all the insects in the Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber of Commerce ranks increased from level 21 to level 27.

The original level 21 positions and responsibilities were slightly changed.

The number of level 21 chiefs of the Chamber of Commerce increased to 3; the number of level 20 chiefs increased to 27, the number of level 19 deputy chiefs increased to 486; the number of level 18 star masters increased to 972...

The Plant Department, Combat Department, Trade Department, and Science and Technology Department have all expanded accordingly, and promoted new generation warriors to serve. There are no shares and dividends, and the basic salary of all positions is increased. According to the operating income, the Chamber of Commerce benefits are distributed once every thousand years.

Insects such as juniper, cedar, spade, mountain persimmon, raspberry, and morning glory, as well as beast warriors such as mulberry, red mulberry, and green stone still stay in the rear Xianglan main star, but no longer participate in the Chamber of Commerce's business affairs.

Juniper and cedar manage the Chamber of Commerce's treasury and manage the wealth resources sent back by the expeditionary corps.

Spade, raspberry, and morning glory manage the Chamber of Commerce's force plants above the domination realm.

…

Soldiers of the Chamber of Commerce who are at or above the Xingxiu Realm will be promoted to level 21 and will automatically join the expeditionary corps. They will also be divided into the Plant Department, Combat Department, Trade Department, and Science and Technology Department, responsible for the exploration, development, transportation, trade, and management of the deep space outside the True Dolphin Line, as well as the wars of alien civilizations.

The insects of all functional departments will be simplified and unified into the war corps.

Level 27 is the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary corps, Longbai will serve as the commander-in-chief.

Level 26 is the deputy commander of the expeditionary corps and the commander-in-chief of the vanguard corps, Molan will serve as the commander-in-chief.

Level 25 is the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the group army, and the insects such as Giant Cypress, White Smilax, White Rice, Black Birch, Black Sophora japonica, Green Maple, Red Maple, and Raspberry will serve as the commander-in-chief.

Level 24 is the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the corps. Each group army has 3 to 18 corps, one main and two deputy, and a number of soldiers.

Level 23 is the commander and deputy commander of the fir team.

Level 22 is the team captain and vice-captain.

The minimum rank of the expeditionary legion is level 21. Below the captain, there are other positions such as captain, leader of the five insect groups, as well as a large number of ordinary soldiers, all classified as level 21.

Those with management positions have higher salaries, those without positions have lower salaries, and the benefits for corresponding ranks are the same.

…

As the Chamber of Commerce grows in size, the situation becomes more complicated.

There are some warriors who are unwilling to join the expeditionary legion after evolving into the Constellation Realm. These warriors either left the Chamber of Commerce to play on their own, or stayed in Pandan Prime to retire. Pension bugs only have basic level salary.

There are also some soldiers who have participated in expeditions, but no longer want to run around in the starry sky. Some just want to lie down and bask in the sun, and some only want to do some easy and simple logistical work. These soldiers also enjoy basic rank salaries, and their contribution to the development of the chamber of commerce is evaluated and a certain proportion of benefits is given.

There are also those warriors who successfully break through the Su Realm, evolve to the Domination Realm, successfully break through the Star Realm Domination, and evolve to the Starry Sky Domination Realm. In addition to promotions and salary increases, they will also be given different amounts of rewards based on the type of job.

Quite cumbersome.

Long Bai traveled back and forth between the Pandan Prime Star, the True Seven Dolphin Line, and the True Eight Rainbow Trout Line in the form of a death return journey. It took him millions of years to complete statistics, appointment and removal of positions, and complete the reorganization of the Chamber of Commerce's team.

…

It took Heiti millions of years to break through again and become the master of the star field.

The news was notified to the Lord of Reincarnation, and the two parties formed a team and led the team from the White Crystal Galaxy to the True Eight Rainbow Trout Line.

…

Rattan star system.

At a distance of 300 million kilometers from the star, four interstellar war fortresses with a diameter of 10,000 kilometers have been built and orbit the star.

Equipped with the most advanced demigod-level reconnaissance system currently mastered by the Divine Tree Civilization, the effective detection range reaches a radius of 18 light years, and the detection information transmission speed is 6,000 times the speed of light. This means that if a starship enters the reconnaissance range, it can be discovered within 26 hours. It can effectively guard against the raids of almost all third-level civilization Star Destroyers.

It is equipped with five weapons: sublight rail gun, zero-energy space-time ray, as well as the 'Vacuum Fission Purple Thunder' that requires a round purple flame spider to activate, and the 'Ice Silence' and 'Ice Cracking' that require a snow iron flame spider to activate.

The plan is to build nine such interstellar war fortresses.

After 30 million years of brewing, the True Seven Dolphin Line, the True Eight Shield Leaf Wall, the True Eight Rainbow Trout Line, the Flawed One Leaf Wall, and the True One Dragon Throne Line are three-level raw energy materials produced by 45 large and small galaxies. Currently, they have only been completed. 4 seats.

This kind of fortress was built purely as a defensive stronghold. It has no mobility and is hollow inside. It has built an ecosystem for the garrisoned soldiers to survive and live. It also has a lot of free space and has been converted into a storage warehouse. It has produced nearly two million dollars per year. Cubic crystals are stored in the fortress warehouse.

Pandan, Amber, Baijing, Baiwei, Citi Chamber of Commerce, tens of thousands of elite soldiers are stationed.

A large number of soldiers from Tunfeng, Boshuwan, and Qise Chamber of Commerce also gathered here to join in the fun.

The fleet led by Long Bai was scanned and discovered by the reconnaissance system as soon as it approached.

In the star system, the hibernating insects woke up and came to greet him.

After greeting and briefly communicating with each other,

All eyes were focused on Heiti.

Heiti was reborn in reincarnation. During the evolution process, he focused on strengthening the metal system and turned into a semi-metal force life. He was transformed and strengthened with ten times the weight of titanium sand, and his black metal carapace was covered with silver-gray veins.

Before departure, prepare enough evolution resources and quickly advance to the 9th age of star domain master during the voyage.

The entire insect's life breath, original energy, and body appearance have completely changed. It looks very hard, with an impenetrable body defense.

The insects looked at the omnic army under Heiti's command again.

The omnic army has just begun to develop, with a small number and a relatively low evolutionary level.

He glanced around mentally and focused his attention on Heiti again.

Lord Manchi asked: "Commander Heiti, can you fully mobilize the power of the Eternal Heart?"

Heiti: "Okay."

"good!"

Lord Manchi greeted: "Then let's try it first!"

"Try it!"

"Change to a more spacious place."

"there!"

"Let's go! Try it!"

"Combat bugs, don't join in the fun."

"Quick! Return to combat duty and prepare for battle."

"..."

The insects were equally impatient and agreed one after another.

After simple arrangement,

Lord Manchi led the way, and together they arrived at a position 10 billion kilometers above the disk star system.

Lord Manchi hovered opposite Heiti, and at the same time mobilized the divine power in his body. Lord Manchi's body surface rose up with red-gold divine patterns, and the original dull silver-gray lines on Heiti's body turned into shiny blue-silver.

The two energies merged and turned into invisible energy information, which vibrated and spread in the universe.

"Can!"

Lord Manchi was distracted and sent out a ray of mental power to inform the insects.

Continuously activate divine power,

Lasted for three years,

Heiti's power is exhausted.

Lord Manchi then removed his divine power.

Heidi raised his paw and pointed to the depths of the True Eight Rainbow Trout Line.

Lord Manchi explained: "I sensed the direction of Lord Gubu's temple! It's wandering in the True Eight Rainbow Trout Line, close to the center of the universe, and I'm not sure what it's doing."

Heiti: "The other party also sensed our summoning message and started moving about two years ago. It is certain that the power of the two eternal hearts can be summoned to the Gubu Lord Temple."

Manchi said: "The distance is very far, I am not sure of the specific distance. Even if it is ten thousand times the speed of light, it will take hundreds of thousands of years..."

Hei Ti asked, "My Lord, is the Temple of the Gubu Lord traveling in the subspace and moving irregularly?"

Long Bai shook his antennae and said, "As far as I know, the legend says so. But after the demise of the Eternal Stars Civilization, the Temple of the Gubu Lord obviously experienced an unknown change. It's hard to say what the situation is now."

Mo Lan asked, "So are we now... ready for battle?"

Long Bai tapped his antennae and said, "Lord Manchi, Hei Ti, you guys should first recover your strength, and then work together to sense and confirm the location of the Temple of the Gubu Lord."

"Okay!"

"OK!"

Lord Manchi and Hei Ti returned to the life planet of the source star system and absorbed the original force to recover.

Three years later, the recovery was complete.

Lord Manchi and Hei Ti worked together again to release the summoning information, and at the same time sensed and confirmed that the Temple of the Gubu Lord was heading straight towards this side. The distance was still far, billions of light years away, and it would not be able to come for a while.

The insects either entered the life planet, returned to the war fortress, or entered the starship, lying in wait.

Every ten thousand years, Lord Manchi and Heiti worked together to sense and confirm the location and progress of the Gubu Lord Temple.

Finally, 370,000 years later,

the Gubu Lord Temple approached,

and the stationed joint army entered combat status.

Lord Manchi, Heiti, Longbai and other insects went to check...

Above the Tenggou star system, 10 billion kilometers away, it seemed that something appeared...

Yu Teng reacted quickly, raised his claws and shot out a space power.

A point of white light bloomed, quickly expanded, and turned into a white light circle. The white light circle continued to expand until its diameter exceeded 3 billion kilometers.

Yu Teng stepped forward and was about to use his space ability to tear the four-dimensional space-time barrier. A purple light burst out in front of him, quickly spread, and automatically formed a super giant elliptical portal with a long axis of more than 100 million kilometers.

The insects were shocked and stagnant for half a second, and they all flashed in and landed on the surface of the temple.

Longbai took out the magic cube key and handed it to Yu Teng.

Yu Teng cracked the key with a simple test and quickly twisted it to open it.

The green cube screen appeared.

The insects looked around quickly, and then they were disappointed. The catalog of goods for sale still included four types: crystal compressors, energy transmission ships, god-level transport ships, and god-level energy ships. No new goods appeared as expected.

"..."

"What should I do?"

"Trade?"

"Nonsense! You haven't spent the crystals you've saved for so long?"

"What to buy?"

"What else can you buy?"

The insects looked at each other, and finally looked at the Lord of Manchi.

Lord of Manchi: "..."

Hei Ti said: "I think it's good... It was successfully summoned, and it can continue to be purchased... Does this mean that the Temple of the Lord of Gubu has the ability to continue to produce god-level transport ships and energy ships?"

The insects were silent.

The god-level transport ships and energy ships have been full for a long time, and the entire Shenshu civilization is basically saturated. Everyone wants to vomit after buying...

The lowest-grade god-level starship with a speed of 3,800 times the speed of light is also fine. Can't we change it up a bit? Survival motherships, interstellar fortresses, omnipotent ships, reconnaissance ships, star destroyers and the like come out on time...

Molan suddenly had an idea and raised his claws to suggest: "My king, can we consider strengthening the Black Law?"

"Second king, good idea!"

Heiti's eyes sparkled, and he tapped his tentacles vigorously, agreeing: "The components containing god-level materials can be eaten by Black Law. The third-level waste removed can also be recycled by my intelligent mechanical army!"

"Hmm--"

Longbai pondered for a moment, waved his claws and said: "Organize a transaction."

…

The Flame Spider Warrior opened four interstellar gates, and hundreds of millions of square crystals were put into the square frame.

Longbai organized that each chamber of commerce should come forward to purchase goods in order from low to high according to the number of square crystals they have.

In 2.5 million years, a total of 1.3 Gai was stockpiled, more than half of which came from the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce.

Finally, it was the turn of the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce. Molan personally stepped forward to operate, locked his consciousness on the super-giant energy ship, and went crazy buying, buying, buying.

On the surface of the temple, white light continued to shine, and one after another super-giant energy ship was teleported out.

Yuchong and Heiti followed to help, moving quickly, one ship came out, and one ship was transferred.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, Molan raised his claws and called for a stop, shaking his tentacles vigorously to signal: "Look!"

[4005 super-giant energy ship 10 trillion square crystals/ship]

A row of eye-catching scarlet characters flashed and prompted: [100 ships in stock]

"100 ships in stock?"

Molan was half surprised and half happy, and said: "The super-giant energy ships in stock in the old universe era have reached the bottom! Keep buying? Let's see what to do if they are sold out?"

Longbai waved his claws to signal to continue.

This time, Xianglan Chamber of Commerce has 6900 Jing square crystals, 10 trillion/ship, which can buy 6.9 million ships. The account balance is still 3447 Jing, and 344 ships can be bought.

Molan is skilled in operation.

The flashing information column shows that the inventory quantity is rapidly decreasing.

It will be sold out soon.

The red characters [Inventory 0] are enlarged and flash rapidly.

Continue to try to buy.

It is still possible to buy, but no corresponding starship has been transmitted.

A new row of characters has been added to the "To be delivered" column at the bottom of the screen: [4005 super giant energy ship 1 ship]

[Estimated delivery time 2471 cosmic days]

Molan's mind is locked, and then buy.

The characters below are jumping: [4005 super giant energy ship 2 ships]

[Estimated delivery time 2471 cosmic days]

The timing rules of the Eternal Stars Civilization are different from those of the Sacred Tree Civilization. One cosmic day is approximately equal to 13333 years.

"It will take 33 million years to deliver?"

"They do have god-level material production capabilities."

"A new batch of god-level materials are being cultivated?"

"It takes tens of millions of years to cultivate god-level materials?"

"Is this reasonable? Level three materials require 3 million to 10 million years. By extrapolation, the time required for the development of level four god-level materials is 30 million to 100 million years?"

"..."

The insects were shocked and looked at each other again.

Mo Lan looked at Long Bai.

Long Bai said: "Don't rush to order. Let's buy more giant energy ships and super giant transport ships. The specific details are up to you, the Second King."

"Roger that. Your Majesty!"

Mo Lan continued to operate.

…

Fang Jing completed the transmission and the account funds were exhausted.

The insects left the four-dimensional space.

Elliptical space portal bridges.

The four-dimensional space-time shrinks and disappears.

This round of trading ends.

PS: There is one last big plot left, and it is expected to be completed in a dozen chapters.

The war plot is too difficult to write, and my manuscript library has been exhausted. I took three days off to figure out how to write it. (End of chapter)
