Astral Ants

Who are you scolding so sarcastically, you damn ant?
Molan was furious, shocked, and horrified at the same time. She asked with half belief and half doubt: "Isn't it the intelligent brain system 'Luo'? The digitized Star God Ao?"

Long Bai asked back, "Didn't it confess everything? The soul memory has been digitized."

Molan: "But, it said that it was sealed in the coffin, and during the reincarnation process, the memory was written into the new soul bit by bit, thus achieving a perfect 'resurrection'."

"That may be true...but..."

Long Bai asked: "What is the biggest feature of data? Reproduction. Since the Palen Scepter has the function of carrying data and providing computing power, why doesn't Xing Shen Ao store an extra copy of memory information?"

"The Paren Scepter incorporates the most important Law Stone, and is also the 'key' to control the starship. How stupid must Star God Ao be to hand over such an important thing to the intelligent brain system?"

"Oh--"

Mo Lan was speechless, with stars flashing on his forehead. The throne of glory surged out, and he asked fiercely: "Where did you put it? Go! Kill it!"

"and many more!"

Long Bai shouted, trying to persuade him feebly: "Second King, don't be impulsive. Most of what Xing Shen Ao said is true..."

"In the old universe, the 'Star God Alliance' was a close neighbor of our natural civilization. It must have known the Divine Tree Clan better than us, the 'Divine Tree Clan' born in the new era. It should be very scared. It is just a weak civilization trying to survive under the shadow of a powerful civilization, and dare not have any bad intentions."

Long Bai ordered: "All the assistant kings should return to their respective planets as soon as possible, gather the fighting ants, and prepare for war."

"Hongying, Luxin, Caigang, you stay here and guard this metal plate. If there is any abnormal movement... respond accordingly."

"Molan, Hongfeng, Zi, let's go!"

...

Technological creations may still have the ability to attack even if they are out of the control of Force warriors.

However, what the artist wears is also a product of technological civilization, and it is a level three peak armor.

The artist carried the Palen Scepter and leapt into the dark deep space 0.1 light-year away from the Aquamarine star system.

The intelligent brain has the ability to execute Longbai's instructions.

133 tentacles on the artist's head wrapped around the scepter, and the spatial ability was continuously released to lock it.

The Glorious Throne arrived carrying all the insects.

Molan was about to get angry, but Longbai raised his claws and pressed her down.

"Star God Ao!"

"An ancient innate god."

"The young generation of the Shenshu clan, Long Bai, the chief of the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce, sends his greetings to you!"

Longbai greeted politely.

Just as Long Bai said, Xing Shen Ao was also terrified.

His identity was revealed, and Xing Shenao took the initiative to confess:

"When the eleven mantis kings entered the mothership, they were extremely cautious. They looked back every three steps, repeatedly tested the situation, and lingered at the doorway, not daring to come forward. I was worried that if I told them my identity directly, they would be scared away, or that they would get nervous and lose control and a conflict would break out..."

"Captain Longbai, if you don't see through me, I will take the initiative to reveal my identity when the situation is appropriate. After all, I have something to ask of you."

"lie!"

Mo Lan asked angrily, "Why didn't you tell me on the way back?"

Star God Ao: "If I'm not mistaken, the five of you should be pure force warriors with superb mobility. You were all excited and unstable along the way, and I couldn't find a suitable opportunity."

"is it?"

"You can see all this!"

Molan became even angrier, her brain racing as she thought about how to refute...

Longbai asked, "Have you ever seen an artist?"

Star God Ao replied: "I have seen him! Peisistratus, from the distant Crystal Throne Galaxy Cluster. According to the Eleventh Mantis Emperor, he is also an artist who is one of the three leaders of the White Tower Civilization! He is exactly the same as the 'puppet' you are controlling. I am familiar with this suit of armor. It has extraordinary materials and craftsmanship, and is of extraordinary quality!"

Long Bai asked, "Have you talked about it?"

Xing Shen Ao: "We talked about it in detail!"

Long Bai: "What did you talk about?"

Xing Shen'ao: "The artist showed me the culture, system, and technology of their civilization. He also introduced the situation there..."

Long Bai asked: "What was the situation at that time?"

Xing Shen'ao first stated, "It's too far away. I don't understand it myself. I just heard the artists talk about it."

Xing Shen Ao then said: "The most powerful civilization in the Crystal Throne Galaxy Cluster is the 'Kester Elemental Civilization'. The White Tower Civilization is an alliance of many civilizations that work together to fight against the invasion of the Kester Elemental Civilization. The two hostile parties have been in a state of war, but neither can do anything to the other."

"Counting up from the Crystal Throne Cluster, it belongs to a supercluster called the Eye of Destruction. I heard from the artist that in the Eye of Destruction Supercluster, a force called the God Destroyer suddenly rose up, leading to the destruction of many civilizations and civil strife. The White Tower civilization also encountered a crisis of survival because of this."

“But it’s strange that the artist’s travels are neither to seek help nor to go into exile. In the communication, it’s obvious that he’s trying to get information.”

"At first, it was obviously very interested in the Star God Alliance, but when it learned that the Star God Alliance was at war with the Black Thai Empire and the Chanter Civilization, and the battle was stalemate, it obviously lost interest. The artist then asked me if there were any other powerful and relatively peaceful and friendly civilizations in the nearby star fields, saying that he wanted to visit and learn from them."

"I recommended natural civilization to it. The artist's fleet should be heading towards your Blue Silver Supercluster..."

Is this the reason why the One-Horned Wolf Ruins appeared near the Qiming star system?
"..."

The insects were speechless.

Long Bai asked, "Did the artist tell you anything else about the Crystal Throne or the White Tower civilization? Even something unimportant is fine."

Star God Ao: "The artist seems to be avoiding it intentionally. It talks more about cultural things. It didn't say that their White Tower civilization has three major leaders: the Star God, the Observer, and the Artist. I didn't even know that it was one of the three leaders, the Artist."

Xing Shen'ao was very smart and could tell that Long Bai was more interested in the 'Crystal Throne'. He explained in detail:
"As for the Caister Elemental Civilization, the artist did not shy away from describing it in great detail, and even described several wars that he had personally experienced."

"The Kast Elemental Body originated from the god-level creation 'Crystal Throne'. It is a highly aggressive and terrifying civilization. Once invaded, the laws of matter will be distorted beyond repair."

"The essence of crystals is the orderly arrangement of atoms. The invaded star field seems to have added a supreme law of the universe. The atoms that make up all matter will be arranged in an orderly manner."

"Invaded by the elemental body of Kester, the star field has been crystallized, and all objects are either black or white. Stars still exist, but they are white, emitting pure white light."

"The black crystal life is similar to the 'plants' in your natural god system. They absorb white light and gain energy for growth. They can also derive extraordinary life forms similar to the 'Force Plants' in the natural god system. The probability is not low."

"White crystal life is similar to the 'animals' in your natural god system. They eat black crystals and indirectly obtain energy and matter for survival and growth."

"Kaister elementals are white crystalline life forms with an infinitely long lifespan, extremely high physical defense capabilities, and are almost immune to all types of energy shocks. They have no weaknesses. The only way to deal with them is to crush them with a strong crushing force that exceeds their carrying capacity."

"According to the artist, the immunity of the Kast Elemental to the space-based attack capabilities is not that strong. The 'Crystal System' and the 'Space System' are considered to be transcendental powers of the same level."

"Also, the Kast Elementals are pure force civilizations, theocracy, slavery, no development and no reliance on technology. Among them, 'Void Elementals' will be born, awakening spatial abilities, and therefore, they are completely independent of technology and can still achieve cross-star invasions. Their only joy in life is expansion, alienation, occupation of more land, possession of more slaves, and then enjoy a richer supply of materials." Star God Ao paused, and continued: "The Kast Elementals themselves are a very precious material. They can be used in various manufacturing fields. For example, this set of armor on the artist..."

"So, in addition to the White Tower Civilization in the Crystal Throne Galaxy Cluster, there are seven other super civilizations in nearby galaxies that have either passively or actively fought wars with the Kester Civilization. There are also many interstellar mercenaries and adventurers who have joined the war. The siege from all sides barely suppressed the expansion of Kester's elemental bodies, forming a stalemate. However, the Destroyer of Gods suddenly appeared, rose rapidly, and indiscriminately attacked other civilizations, instantly breaking the balance..."

Xing Shenao: "This is about all the information I got from the artist about the Crystal Throne."

Longbai tapped his antenna and continued to ask, "What about the information about the destruction of the universe? Didn't the artist say who accelerated the destruction of the old universe and how?"

Xing Shen Ao: "No. When the artist was leaving, he simply said that there was a civilization that was maliciously destroying the universe and accelerating its destruction, and reminded us to flee quickly. Before I could ask more questions, he disappeared through space. After comprehensively analyzing his mental state, conversation words and tone, I seriously suspect that the White Tower civilization was responsible."

"..."

Long Bai wants to continue asking questions.

Molan raised her claws to hold Longbai down, and asked hurriedly, "What about the 'Destroyer' civilization? What's their origin?"

Star God Ao corrected: "The 'Destroyer of Gods' is not a civilization, but a force composed of many powerful life forms."

"They come and go without a trace, indiscriminately attacking all the masters of all civilizations. All the victims are nowhere to be found, and their bodies are never found. The 'Destroyer' is suspected to have an evil ancient artifact, which allows it to rapidly improve itself by depriving other masters of their power."

Is there such an artifact?

The black orchid, cypress and red maple all look solemn.

Shan Die Zi, who had been silent for a long time, thought he was being humorous and said, "Fortunately, I am still far from being a master."

"..."

No bugs bother.

Zi flapped his wings and said, "It's a new era in the universe now. The old civilizations have all perished with the destruction of the universe. Why do you think so much? Why don't we talk about something happy? For example, how to deal with the Ferdinand Luo Ao Xingshen..."

Zi: "I risked my life to borrow the 'Rainbow Ying' from Lan Ying for the expedition. And it was I who first proposed to explore the Kwaraim Seat. Chief Longbai, you should show some appreciation, right?"

"Of course!"

Long Bai readily agreed and asked, "Xing Shen Ao, you should have some understanding of the current cosmic environment and natural civilization forms, right?"

Xing Shen Ao: "I heard from the Eleventh Mantis Emperor."

"What is the Eleventh Mantis King? Just call it Mo Lan."

Long Bai said angrily, and then simply said: "It is not easy for a civilization like you who are good at production and manufacturing to survive in the starry sky. Meeting us is an opportunity. At present, the main theme of natural civilization is development and exploration. You join us at this time and assist us. When we grow stronger in the future, there will definitely be a place for you in this universe."

Xing Shen Ao: "It's my honor!"

Longbai asked: "How much do you know about the 'human race'?"

Star God Ao: "I know nothing."

Xing Shen Ao explained: "In the old universe, natural civilizations occupied 100,000 galaxies, and supergiant star clusters with a diameter of more than 100 million light years. Tens of thousands of technological civilizations like the Ferdinand civilization depended on them for survival. I only know of a hundred or so of them as my neighbors, and I only have exchanges with 20 to 30 of them."

"Um--"

Long Bai: "Then let me show you the technological creations of the human race. The human race's technology is also mainly based on 'metal', which makes it a half-metal technological civilization."

"Star God Ao, temporarily, we can't find a suitable environment to help you revive, let alone help you cultivate 'Austenite' and develop civilization."

"Then we can only rely on human technology to rebuild the Ferdinando Roa Star God."

"Also, the function of the mothership needs to be changed. It needs to be transformed into a mothership for Zerg warriors to live in for a long time."

"We plan to undertake some planet construction projects. Due to our limited capabilities, we can only undertake some physical work such as collecting materials and building stars and planets according to standards."

"The main function of the modified Ferdinando Roa Ao Xing Shen is to carry a large number of Zerg warriors and operate in a force vacuum environment. As a survival mothership, it provides food, force supplies, and comfortable rest nests."

Long Bai asked, "Such a modification shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Star God Ao: "Simple. Humans can build a 3-3 starship, so their technological level must be quite high. I only need to learn more about the human technological system, and then I can redesign a set of blueprints."

"But there is a problem. Based on the transformation of the Ferdinando Luo O Xingshen, a large number of non-standard components must be used, which need to be customized. Customization means high prices."

Long Bai nodded his tentacles heavily and said, "I understand—"

Star God Ao: "And the speed. The empty-load speed of the Ferdinand Luo Ao Star God is 1200 times the speed of light. It is rebuilt and modified to be used as a survival mothership for building a survival galaxy. The speed requirement should not be high, right?"

Long Bai: "I don't pursue speed. 50 times the speed of light is enough."

Star God Ao: “…”

Star God Ao: "That's too easy."

Xing Shen Ao: "Then you can organize a group of Zerg warriors with metal talents, give them abilities through the Paren Scepter, and after a simple training, make components of non-standard systems by yourself, which can save a lot of expenses."

"is it?"

Mo Lan's eyes sparkled when she heard this, and she asked, "How many original crystals are needed for reconstruction?"

Xing Shen Ao: "How many crystals do you need to buy a brand new mothership with 50 times the speed and 15 kilometers in diameter?"

Molan: "Starting from one trillion? I'm not very familiar with the market."

Long Bai: "A diameter of 10 kilometers is enough. A mothership of the same level would cost a little more than 1 trillion."

"..."

Xing Shen Ao was speechless again.

The Ferdinand Luo Ao Xing Shen is equipped with the strongest power system, the strongest energy conversion system, the strongest...

After being converted into a mothership of the lowest grade, the value of the top core configuration has been infinitely compressed.
Xing Shen Ao replied: "I'm afraid it will still cost 700 billion to 800 billion. Large forces have the advantage of material prices for mass production. You don't have this advantage for ordering, unless you have a channel."

Long Bai pondered and said, "The outer shell of the mothership, the inner beams, columns, partitions, etc., the technological content is not very high, right? With the design drawings, the Zerg warriors can also build it themselves, right?"

"can……"

"But how many motherships with a diameter of 10 kilometers are needed?"

"According to my observation, Zerg warriors only have two tentacles. I'm afraid their efficiency is not high. Using the tentacles to forcibly build a mothership..."

Xing Shen Ao asked, "I think even if the Zerg warriors under my command do the work, they still need to pay a certain amount of money, right? If you calculate it, I'm afraid it will be more expensive than ordering from human civilization."

"hey-hey!"

"That's not necessarily the case!"

Long Bai: "Let's go! Go back to the Sea Blue Star System, Star God Ao, I'll take you to visit my ant colony." (End of this chapter)
