Astral Ants

When Longbai returned to the Bauhinia star system again, Jubai had already contacted Baiwei, Hongtao, and Zeqi, and notified the senior management of the Xianglanshan Chamber of Commerce.

Return in time to gather at the Xianglanshan Chamber of Commerce headquarters.

Cuibai led Xingyunnai and Xingyunzhi to command the ant army to strengthen the defense of the northern 4201 area.

Mao Mei and Dong Qing led the Zerg warriors, and set up layers of sentries in the sky and underground to guard the headquarters palace.

The young warriors of our Chamber of Commerce are not of sufficient rank and are not allowed to approach.

It's like a state of war alert.

"Leader Longbai!"

"Your Majesty!"

Holly and Raspberry came up to greet them.

"Holly, notify Giant Cypress and Green Cypress to come over."

Long Bai gave the order and headed straight to the meeting hall on the third floor.

Hundreds of insects gathered together.

A major event that will change the entire Zerg civilization is quietly happening.

A large galaxy with a diameter of 15 light years, the largest galaxy discovered by the Zerg civilization so far.

This is a rare opportunity that comes only once in a million years.

Everyone can take this opportunity to quickly rise to become the top chamber of commerce and force in the universe.

The atmosphere was solemn, yet filled with irrepressible excitement and urgency.

After greeting each other,

Bai Wei asked, "Captain Longbai, have you gone to look for Sishu and Xia Li?"

Long Bai: "Of course."

Bai Wei suppressed her mental power and asked, "You sold the information? How much is the price?"

"It is naturally a reasonable price that both parties can accept."

Longbai shook his antennae gently and turned his gaze to the poisonous beans and poisonous wheat.

Poison Bean raised his eight legs and said in a sonorous voice, "Report to the king, we have done what you ordered! In the name of the Shuhua Chamber of Commerce, we asked President Daiyuan of the Baijing Chamber of Commerce to help contact and place an order with the human technology chamber of commerce called 'Four Elephants'. We have agreed that the core components of the mothership can be delivered within 500 years, and the landing ship will only take 30 years..."

Poison Bean: "Bigger quantity, better price. After some fierce bargaining, I successfully lowered the price from 25 Chaos Stones to 24. However, the other party requires us to pay 100% of the payment within 50 years."

"it is good!"

"You did a great job, Dangerous Beans."

Long Bai praised him, but he was not very confident about Du Dou. He signaled Bai Wei to open the Star Network account and transfer 40 Chaos Gems.

"President Bai Wei, in the name of the Bai Wei Chamber of Commerce, you can directly discuss with Luo Li and Qi Ye and purchase several inter-galactic cargo starships with a speed of more than 1200 times the speed of light, as well as corresponding repair ships, energy ships, and frigates from the Luo Li Chamber of Commerce to form a complementary fleet with the 'Molan Transport Ship'."

"it is good!"

Bai Wei responded calmly, then jumped up and down, "Captain Longbai, so many? You are too cruel, aren't you? Will you offend the two big bosses, Sishu and Xia Li?"

"How many?"

"President Bai Wei, how much?"

"is it a lot?"

The juniper, cedar, poison bean, and southern reed followed suit and asked.

Bai Wei: "40? Chaos Gem!"

Long Bai corrected calmly, "One million."

The insects exclaimed and cheered.

——The king is the most cruel!
Everyone guessed that Long Bai approached Si Shu and Xia Li to sell information and make a fortune...

I didn't expect it to be so cruel!

Isn't this too cruel?

How many tens of thousands of years would it take for the Xianglanshan Chamber of Commerce and the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce to earn this much together?
After being happy, the not-so-smart insect started to worry again.

"My lord, is this appropriate?"

Yuanbai said carefully, "We can't let the relationship between Sishu and Boss Xia Li become strained for the sake of immediate interests. We will have many more opportunities for cooperation when we return to the Amber Galaxy, and we may even need their help."

"Yes!"

Bai Wei agreed and said seriously, "Si Shu and Xia Li have been taking care of us since we entered the starry sky, using their status and position in the Holy Butterfly Tribe."

"..."

Long Bai was speechless.

This is where you are not even as good as the Second King.

If it were the second king, he would definitely complain that 100 million is too little, 1000 million is enough...

Longbai waved his paw, "Don't worry, they are very happy. They just think my price is too cheap and too fair. They are very touched."

"Do you really need to worry about the king's work?"

"Elder Bai Wei, you are too cowardly."

Poison Bean angrily scolded, "Besides, what is the scale of the Baijing Chamber of Commerce? They obtained such crucial information 7000 years in advance. With their financial resources, they can easily get 100 million Chaos Stones, even 1000 million or 1 million."

After scolding,
Poison Bean changed his tone to flattering, raised his paw to signal, and asked, "My king, are you planning to organize a transport fleet to travel between the White Crystal Galaxy and the Amber Galaxy? Are you in need of a captain?"

The eight flame spiders of the poisonous bean flickered with scarlet light, and frantically signaled: I! I! I! I am a professional!

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai: "For the first ten trips, we may need Guild Leader Bai Wei to personally serve as the captain and command the operations. We will do our best to transport Zerg warriors and survival carriers..."

Long Bai briefly described his plan and continued, "There are also 'gravity ships' needed to build star systems, 'cargo star ships' of tens of millions of tons for transporting goods within star systems, and all kinds of equipment, accessories and energy materials for maintenance. They must be prepared and fully prepared. President Bai Wei, 40 Chaos Stones are not a lot, you should calculate them carefully and save some money."

"understand!"

Bai Wei agreed solemnly.

Long Bai said: "Of course, if the funds are insufficient, you can find Luo Li as an intermediary and use the wild God-given seeds of the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce as collateral for an appropriate short-term loan. Be careful when operating. For example, if you are short of 5 Chaos Crystals, you can mortgage the wild God-given seeds worth 10 Chaos Crystals and borrow 10. 5 of them will be used for business purposes, and the other 5 will be used to purchase starships and transport ships necessary for cross-galaxy voyages. When the time is up, you can sell them at double or even triple the price and get back the principal and interest."

Long Bai added: "It is not advisable to take risks with force plants. This operation should only be used when funds are insufficient."

The insects agreed.

Long Bai continued, "The Xianglan Chamber of Commerce does not really need a higher level of commerce. If everyone cooperates, and if they succeed in finding a level 3 source point, the ownership will be given to the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce, which will help them advance to level 7. The Xianglan Chamber of Commerce will only take the benefits, and only want permanent operating rights."

"There are too few third-level source points, and a lot of luck is required. Second-level source points are the most realistic... Let's cooperate and try to seize more second-level source points!"

"it is good!"

Bai Wei raised her front paw high and cheered excitedly, "Captain Longbai is invincible!"

"Chief Longbai is unparalleled in wisdom and courage!"

All the insects echoed.

In the territory, other core management personnel above level 15 received the information and rushed over, with a total of more than warriors. The ten-meter-high conference hall was temporarily partitioned and transformed into a three-story conference hall, barely accommodating everyone.

An unprecedented important meeting.

It was also the first time in two hundred thousand years that the senior members of Xianglan Chamber of Commerce and Baiwei Chamber of Commerce gathered together in such an orderly manner.

Long Bai elaborated on the situation of the fourth galaxy, the Amber galaxy, as well as the next action plan, and the specific task arrangements for each department and each insect.

A large number of Zerg warriors need to be dispatched to the Amber Galaxy for development.

However, the business in the Baijing Galaxy cannot be abandoned all at once, and the business scope has been greatly reduced:
First, cut off the star system construction project, complete the current star construction mission, and no longer take on new missions. The semi-old equipment can simply be sold at a discount.

Some outstanding planetary realm warriors, as well as star realm warriors and above elite warriors set off in the first batch.

It is planned to deploy 5 soldiers.

The soldiers who stayed behind will have their treatment improved and their vacation time increased so that they can seize the time to grow and evolve and prepare to march towards the Amber Galaxy.

Second, in the eleven star regions, the material trading business has been terminated. Warriors in the Claw who have spare money can look for cedar, grass dragon and feather bean. Everyone can pool their funds and stockpile a batch of materials, which can be used by the Chamber of Commerce for backup or sold to make a profit when the time comes.

Sishu and Xia Li will soon organize the insects to take back the energy materials stored in various star regions in cooperation with the Xianglanshan Chamber of Commerce. The lease of the zero-level source point operated by everyone has not expired, but it will no longer be operated. A few soldiers will be arranged to guard it and collect the naturally born God-given seeds. It will not be renewed when it expires.

Third, in the Fengyan Star Region, the star systems such as Azure, Ocean Blue, Jade Peach, and Xuanling that are leased and operated within the jurisdiction of the Bauhinia star system need to be renewed, and an appropriate number of small warriors of the 9th and half-star realms should be arranged to operate them. Try to maintain the natural ecology, use the limited territory, and train as many small warriors as possible.

We must ensure that the Chamber of Commerce has successors in the Baijing Galaxy and must not cut off its foundation.

Fourth, the Force Food Trade cannot be abandoned, and the juniper, cedar, and black locust from the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce, as well as the green peach, southern reed, and columnar species from the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce will be fully responsible for it.

The surplus Force food can be made into God-given gene agents and shipped to the Amber Galaxy. Instead of being sold externally, it can be consumed internally by the Chamber of Commerce.

Fifth, warriors with the ability to regenerate can bring 5 to 10 life seeds for resurrection. For dragon cypress, only bring one white berberis god-given seed. In addition, bring one life and one luck of the wild white crystal god-given seed.

Other life-species plants and wild God-given seeds will not be moved for now, and will be moved later depending on the situation.

...

Various details need to be discussed and properly arranged.

The meeting lasted for five days and five nights.

The meeting is adjourned.

All the insects moved, each busy.

...

Bai Wei asked, "Captain Longbai, why don't you inform Huaqishan of such crucial news?"

Hei Hua then asked, "My lord, where is the Boshuwan Chamber of Commerce?"

Long Bai said: "You can tell me. Xianglan Chamber of Commerce will provide them with limited assistance and we can cooperate. However, when entering the Amber Galaxy and searching for the source, everyone will take care of themselves and their gains will belong to each other."

Longbai ordered: "Giant cypress, please go and ask the chiefs of redwood and holm oak to come and discuss important matters."

"Hei Hua, go and invite the first-fruit queen bee, the second-fruit queen bee, the third-fruit queen bee, the long-winged queen bee, the five-row queen bee, the mountain pepper ant king, the forked leaf ant king, the red-veined ant king, the colorful wood ant king and other core leaders of Boshu Bay to come to discuss matters."

Longbai warned, "Don't tell them what happened first. I'll tell them."

Long Bai: "The Ants and Bees are best at civilization warfare, followed by agricultural cultivation and the management of zero-level source points. If nothing unexpected happens, we will occupy a large number of zero-level source points in the Amber Galaxy this time. In the future, we will need a large number of Zerg warriors to manage them."

"The Boshuwan Chamber of Commerce can play a big role. The ant kings and bee queens under our Xianglan Chamber of Commerce should also be taken seriously. Jubai, you go and make arrangements to give subsidies to the chamber's ant kings and bee queens as appropriate, and instruct them that each of them must have at least 100 assistant kings under their command, and train them as soon as possible."

Giant cypress: "Understood, my king!"

Bai Wei asked tentatively: "Captain Longbai, then, the large and small chambers of commerce that cooperate with the Shuhua Chamber of Commerce..."

Longbai shook his antennae and said, "If we spread the word, it will become public information. At least, wait until the Molan transport ship is completed, the first batch of motherships are completed, and the ordered cargo starships arrive, and we are fully prepared and ready to set off, then we can inform them. There is plenty of time, and they still have time to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune."

"That makes sense..."

Bai Wei agreed.

Longbai finally looked at the eight-eyed fish vine whose light was fading...

Yu Teng was stunned for a moment, then cheered, "Great! We're getting rich!"

Long Bai asked unhappily, "How far are you from shining?"

Derris: "Fifty thousand years?"

"……All right."

"……Not urgent."

Long Bai said: "Yu Teng, don't do anything else but concentrate on meditation, comprehending your abilities, and evolving and growing. In the future, your interstellar gate will play a vital role in the Amber Galaxy's reclamation and construction of star systems, collection of materials, and relocation of planets."

"The Gate of Truth~"

Yu Teng corrected him and agreed, "President Bai Wei, Chief Long Bai, Vice President Hong Tao, and Vice President Ze Qi, please rest assured that I am working hard to grow!" Long Bai waved his claws, signaling everyone to go about their business.

...

Coincidentally, the two great leaders, Redwood and Holm Oak, were both in the territory of the Potato Leaf Star, and the yellow twig, wisteria, and purple vine also followed over.

Today in Citi Mountain, the number of warriors from the mother planet, the shield grasshopper, the long-shielded grasshopper, and the mealworm, has exceeded 60,000, and the number of God-given seeds is close to 90,000.

The yellow twig, wisteria, purple wisteria, spruce and five-leaf insects have all become the "ancestors" and "grandfathers" of the tribe, and the core senior management of Citi Hill.

While they are operating the zero-level source point, they are also cultivating young warriors born in the starry sky of the universe and developing and expanding their power.

The financial resources are strong and the insects are numerous and powerful.

There has always been a relationship of independent governance, equal cooperation and mutual support between Xianglan Hill and Citi Hill.

Long Bai reported relevant information about the "Amber Galaxy" and briefly described the arrangements of the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce.

Citi Hill could consider taking out mortgage loans in the name of purchasing a survival mothership and forming an engineering fleet, and then disperse and seek loans from various level 7 and level 8 chambers of commerce. If one lends 20,000 Chaos Ore Stones and another lends 30,000 Chaos Ore Stones, they could still raise hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Half of it is used to stockpile goods, waiting for the news to spread, and then sell them after the price skyrocketed, making a profit and repaying the loan with interest.

Half of it will be used to purchase inter-galactic cargo starships, order 3-1 large-scale starships and landing ships, etc. Citi Hill can also organize an intra-galactic fleet to search for the source.

The fleet can travel in formation with the Xianglanshan Chamber of Commerce fleet, which is centered around the Molan transport ship.

On the first voyage, the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce provided 5 Zerg warriors to help Citi Mountain transport 1 elite warriors.

The Tabor has 72 rooms. Everyone can squeeze in together, hibernate to save energy, carry more crystals, sacrifice speed appropriately, double the insect capacity, carry 150 soldiers, and have no problem making an interstellar voyage of 2200 million light years.

Longbai gave Citi Hill 10 places.

...

Wait a few years.

The Queen Bee and the King Ant, led by the Queen Bee of the Boxuwan Chamber of Commerce, arrived.

Report the situation,

Similarly, the Boshuwan Chamber of Commerce will raise funds or take out loans to purchase long-distance starships, and then team up with the main fleet of the Xianglanshan Chamber of Commerce.

...

Processing completed,

Longbai hurried back to the Fengyan star system to inform the Kingbai, Azure and other force plants of the news.

All the Chamber of Commerce elites are leaving.

The rear affairs must be handled by reliable bugs.

Fenglun Star is of top priority, and the most reliable insects must be arranged to stay behind to guard it.

Long Bai arranged Hei Ye and Hei Shi, who were relatively calm, to be responsible for the defense of the territory, and transferred Dong Qing and Wu Lun Zhu to assist in the defense.

Spade and Chamomile are still in charge of the territory management affairs.

If you encounter any trouble, Black Leaf, Black Persimmon and Black Peach are capable of handling it. In addition, many smart trees such as King Cypress, Azure Blue, Night Fragrance and Wingless can give advice and basically solve all problems.

Longbai arranged the important matters in the rear area.
Then return to the Bauhinia star system and sit on the Potato Leaf Star.

Today, the Xianglanshan Chamber of Commerce is considered a powerful force in the starry sky, with large-scale adjustments and changes, resulting in all kinds of trivial affairs.

We must not be careless and must handle it with caution and properly.

Long Bai commanded personally.

...

People at all levels of management are rushing around in the sky, busy and stressful.

The wheel of time spins rapidly.

...

The technological production capacity of human civilization is so terrifying.

It took only 30 years for the precision components for the 3 Tigerland 1-1 landing ships that were ordered to arrive.

It took only another 20 years for the precision parts needed for the Molan transport ship to arrive.

We have cooperated before and ordered the Molan series survival aircraft carriers. The core components of the 15 "Molan 10 type survival aircraft carriers" ordered this time were also delivered in 5 sets at one time.

The hulls, keels, partitions, etc. of these landing ships, transport ships, and motherships have relatively low technical content, but the amount of materials used is huge. The Xianglanshan Chamber of Commerce produces them independently, saving labor and transportation costs.

The factory is located in the Aquamarine star system, Longbai Star.

Separated from the Plant Department, a 'Technology Department' was specially established. Heiti was very obsessed with technological creations and had some talent. He was appointed as the deputy leader, fully responsible for the affairs of the Technology Department, and served as the first director part-time.

The two-color golden locust tree and the two-color golden banyan tree are respectively in charge of the second and third groups, and their position is star lord.

They have a large number of carefully selected and carefully cultivated 'technological rain ants' to assist in production and management.

Semi-automated production lines, assembly line operations with three million ants, and impressive technological manufacturing capabilities and efficiency.

Guishan, Xingyunbai, Zisha and Linju are respectively the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh supervisors of the Ministry of Science and Technology. Each of them leads 1500 technology bugs and is responsible for the production of various devices with relatively high technical difficulty.

The production capacity of Xianglan Mountain is definitely far inferior to that of human civilization, but it is not weak either.

It took 200 years to complete the transformation and assembly of the Molan transport ship.

At the same time, the intergalactic cargo starships and corresponding repair ships, energy ships, and frigates ordered from the Luoli Chamber of Commerce were delivered and arrived one after another.

Another hundred years passed, and all the related parts of the 30,000 landing ships were manufactured. They were not assembled yet, but were sealed up in different categories, and special soldiers were assigned to carry out regular maintenance.

...

[Time: 78th Era-382 Yuan-019 Years]

Wang Chao, the headquarters of Xianglanshan Chamber of Commerce.

Dongqing teleported over, "Report! Chief Longbai, Sishu, Xiali, and Lanying are here."

"Oh--"

"They're not moving fast enough~"

Long Bai habitually activated his soul-fixing ability.

Zi also ran over.

Xing Yunnai and Xing Yunzhi were escorting them on both sides and were rushing towards this side.

Long Bai thought about it, stood up and walked out of Wang Chao, and stood at the door of the Chamber of Commerce building to greet him.

You can see some changes by looking at their walking pace and ranking.

The four people and Xia Li from the Star Realm walked in front with high hopes.

Yaojing's blue jacaranda and purple tentacles curled up into a disk and followed obediently behind.

Obviously, Sishu and Xia Li gained recognition from their superiors with this intelligence and their calm and efficient response, and their positions and status in the tribe were further improved.

"Leader Longbai!"

"Four-number boss!"

"Boss Xia Li!"

"Jacaranda, purple."

We met and greeted each other, and then went to the third floor living room to talk.

Sishu explained directly: "Xia Li and I have foresight, strong organizational skills, and quick actions. We quickly organized an expeditionary army consisting of 100,000 Zerg warriors."

Xia Li said: "The White Crystal Divine Tree highly recognizes our efficiency and ability, and personally ordered me to serve as the fleet commander, fully responsible for fleet navigation and financial trade affairs. Sishu will serve as the leader of the expeditionary corps and be responsible for insect arrangements."

"There is also a technology team of 3 senior Terran engineers secretly formed by the Chamber of Commerce. I will mobilize them and the four will supervise them. We will command them together. The fleet is being assembled and is expected to depart from Red Robin in 30 years."

Sishu: "It is not convenient for the master ancestor of our Holy Butterfly tribe to come forward. Therefore, Xia Li and I will go to the Amber Galaxy first to contact the Amber Chamber of Commerce, send supplies, and bring the two sides closer."

Xia Li: "Our mission is very clear, important, and arduous. First, we need to obtain permission to operate in the Amber Galaxy. It would be best if we could get a Level 3 source point directly from them, at any cost!"

Longbai looked at the blue jacaranda and purple.

Four Numbers: "Lord Xiange and Lord Yiwei arranged a guard team for us composed of Sujing-level warriors, all of whom are combat bugs that have won places in the Daylight Sea Arena. Lan Ying and Xiao Zi are also training with us."

Lan Ying: “…”

purple:"……"

When it comes to developing power, the most important thing is brains, not brute force.

Blue Jacaranda and purple mixed into little followers~
Long Bai: "..."

Xia Li said proudly: "The number of guards is not large, only 30 insects, but each of them is an elite with outstanding combat power. If a battle is encountered, the 'Boundless Sea, the Infinite Sea' will spread out and connect with each other, and ordinary master realm powerhouses may not be able to get away with it."

Four Numbers: "When we arrived at the Amber Galaxy, we organized a team to cultivate and build the star system while exploring and searching for the source."

Xia Li asked, "Captain Longbai, what about you?"

Four Numbers: "I heard from President Obihara that you have a lot of motherships? Is the fleet organized? Do you want to go with us?"

Long Bai: "It will take about 200 years for our main fleet to be ready... Can you wait a moment?"

"Hiss~ 200 years~"

"Now we are racing against time~"

Sishu and Xia Li were in a dilemma.

"Then you go first. We'll leave later."

Long Bai waved his claws majestically and continued, "When we reach the Huoyangla star system, I will organize the elite troops, transfer to the Tubber, and set off first. The average speed is 2000 times the speed of light. We can never run together. See you all in the Amber Galaxy!"

"it is good!"

"Row!"

Sishu and Xia Li tapped their antennae at the same time.

Long Bai: "I have been waiting for you to come. Stock up on energy materials from the Azure and Ocean Blue star system warehouses. You still have a quota of 50 Chaos Stones. What do you say?"

Four Counts: "We are here for this purpose as well. This time, our fleet is already fully loaded."

Xia Li: "Can you please trouble Chief Longbai to preserve it for another 40,000 to 50,000 years?"

"It's a small matter! It's easy to deal with!"

Long Bai agreed readily and asked, "Isn't your fleet very large? Are you transporting raw materials this time? How many are there?"

Number Four: "Time is short and preparation is insufficient."

Xia Li: "Based on the purchase price, it should be worth 5000 million Chaos Stones."

"..."

Long Bai didn't want to talk.

Lan Ying asked, "Captain Longbai, what are the specific arrangements on your side?"

Longbai: "The 'Molan Leader Ship' originally controlled by Xing Sinnoh was transformed into the 'Molan Transport Ship'..."

Long Bai briefly explained the arrangements on his side.

The two sides communicated with each other.

Sishu, Xiali, Lanying and Zi said goodbye and left in a hurry.

...

Time flies, 200 years later,

All preparations of the four major chambers of commerce, Xianglan, Baiwei, Huaqi, and Boshuwan, are complete. The joint fleet assembled in the Hailan star system and set off. (End of this chapter)
