Astral Ants

The 5,000 soldiers led by Molan were not lazy and did nothing. After they built the Black Lotus Star System Mining Star, they nurtured and stored a large amount of primary and secondary energy materials.

The 30,000 austenites of the Peidiernan civilization, led by Yuan Zong, began to build a technological city, factories and equipment, and then began to mass-produce various types of engineering ships needed for the star construction project.

The construction of the Nanqian star system has started.

One hundred and fifty thousand Zerg warriors were divided into five engineering teams. The five insects, namely Giant Cypress, Black Birch, White Smilax, White Rice, and Jade, each led a team. For a period of ten thousand years, four engineering teams were always kept in working condition, while one engineering team took turns to rest.

As the head of the Chamber of Commerce, there is no need for Long Bai to participate in person.

Long Bai borrowed a batch of third-level energy materials from the Baijing Chamber of Commerce, and according to the method given by the Lord of Reincarnation, he also built a "Reincarnation Sea" with a diameter of 300 kilometers on Honglian Star.

Baibo and Yiyun moved and took root by the lake.

The dragon cypress lies dormant in the center of the lake, concentrating on meditation.

...

It took 50,000 years.
The Nanqian star system has been completed.

After a short break, continue to develop the Beiqian star system.

At about the same time, Longbai finally completed an age evolution, reaching the 2nd age of Starry Sky Lord, catching up with Molan.

Molan has ten types of talent, and her path of evolution is called 'great aggregation, great decomposition'. She had clearly defined her path of evolution as early as the Star Realm period, and it has never changed from the beginning to the end.

Molan is tracing back the original energy characteristics of cosmic matter, and the power derived from the divine pattern is called 'original divine power'.

Another form of extreme pursuit, almost extreme.

With extreme simplicity and extraordinary talent, Molan's meditation efficiency is higher than all the insects in Xianglan Chamber of Commerce.

Longbai just caught up, and within 3 years, Molan completed another age evolution, and became the master of the starry sky at age .

It is one year ahead of Longbai.

...

Another 50,000 years later,
The Beiqian star system is completed.

All three third-level source star systems were completed, and three second-level source points with the lowest development difficulty, named "Lidou", "Jinshimu" and "Seabuckthorn" by Molan, were selected and built in sequence.

at the same time,

Long Bai took some time to cultivate a large number of ordinary soldier ants, commander ants, and specialized commander ants, and arranged for them to be stationed in various source star systems, and arranged for assistant kings to specialize in the defense of mining sites.

It only took 60,000 years.
The secondary source star system was built.

The Xianglan Chamber of Commerce has 14 marked secondary source points in the three major star fields of the Huangjing Galaxy, but we will ignore them for now.

There must be undiscovered secondary source points, and there is no rush to find them.

There is no rush to set out to search for the traces of the Star God Alliance.

All insects returned to the Black Lotus star system to rest and recuperate, focusing on evolution and growth.

Those who can break through to the master level should do their best. Those who have already reached the master level should either comprehend the laws of the universe or meditate peacefully. Soldiers who see no hope of breaking through should be arranged to eat a white barberry.

Another 60,000 years later,
Long Bai then set off to visit the Lord of Reincarnation and asked him to take care of the remaining team of Xianglan Chamber of Commerce.

Return to the Black Lotus star system,
He called on Baibo and Yiyun to gather the tree's heart and prepare to set off.

Summon all the insects to hold a meeting.

Of the 3000 austenite engineers of the Peidirnan civilization, will follow the fleet, and the rest will stay in the Huangjing Galaxy to manage the mining star.

Led by Long Bai's assistant king, Qianli Guang, Qianli Leizhu and Qianli Fengyuan, there are eighteen people left, commanding the ant colonies of six source star systems respectively, and responsible for combat defense.

The combat unit selected 3000 elite fighters to stay and assist the ant colony in guarding the mining planet.

All other insects, totaling 15.5 warriors, followed the fleet on the expedition.

[Time: 81th Era-100 Yuan-000 Years]

Pick a good day and the Silver Shark Expedition will set sail.

...

...

Turn around and head back, a journey of 110 million light years.

The fleet arrived at the Brigade Supply Point No. 338 again.

The energy ship orbits the star, collecting the Force.

The Silver Shark No. 1 flagship activated its detection system to collect information about the star field ahead.

Led by Longbai and Molan, all the insects came out of the cabin and activated their sunburn ability to patrol and observe.

Starting from the Travel Bug 338 supply point and following the Meiyi Rotor Wall, there is no ready-made "road" to take on the rest of the star journey.

The road ahead is unclear.

You can only grope forward step by step on your own.

Different situations require different ways of dealing with them.

For example, currently,

About 750 million light-years away, there is a chaotic galaxy with a large group of matter attached to it, which has reached a stable state.

Calculations by the intelligent system show that there is a probability of over 90% that a source point will be derived within this group of matter.

But it is also possible that there is no source point of derivation.

The maximum range of the Silver Shark Expedition Fleet is 2000 million light years, which is enough to support the entire fleet to explore. If the source is found, the fleet can replenish and continue to move forward. If there is no source and there are no other suitable galaxies nearby, the fleet will turn around and return to the Traveling Worm 338 Supply Point, replenish the Force, and then re-select the target to explore.

Observe and calculate to confirm that everything is correct.

The energy ship has been replenished.
Set off and head straight for the goal.

...

A voyage of 3,800 years,

The fleet arrived at its destination and headed straight into the depths of the matter mass. The intelligent computer system calculated and inferred the star field most likely to derive the source point.

The Silver Shark No. 1 flagship collects information and performs calculations nearby.

The Zerg warriors were teleported out of the cabin, and after a brief observation, all their eyes turned to the fish worms.

"Fishworm!"

"Ouch~woo~"

“Is there a source nearby?”

"There's none nearby."

Yuchong raised his claw and pointed, saying, "It's over there! The distance is more than 500 light years."

——A source point?!
——Then it’s stable!
——Victory in the first battle!
——The Second King is mighty!

The insects are shouting.

"Quiet! Quiet!"

Mo Lan waved her tentacles up and down to greet him, and asked, "Fishworm, feel carefully, are there any other source points?"

"Have……"

Yu Chong raised his claw and pointed again, saying, "Second King, over there, the distance is also more than 500 light years, the energy flow is not obvious, and the source point quality is low."

Molan: "Find the highest-grade source!"

"I know~"

Yu Chong raised his paw, pointed in the previous direction, and said, "That's the one over there..."

"it is good!"

Molan waved his claws and issued an order: "The fleet is charging and ready to go! Longbai, you can drive the Taber and go over to check the situation first."

"Follow the Second King's command!"

Longbai called out, "All the assistant kings, as well as the red maple, red sedge, palm, mulberry, white willow, holly, and raspberry... follow me!"

Longbai gathered 72 Overlord-level assistant kings and Zerg warriors and set off on the Taber.

The Artist Armor has the function of storing space energy of transition nature, and its main purpose is to escape when encountering a crisis.

The Taber used its stored energy and made continuous jumps, and in less than an hour it had reached a location 500 light years away.

Turning back to send a coordinate message to the fleet behind, the team began to move.

There are 9 warriors horizontally and 8 warriors vertically. The 72 Domination Realm warriors are 300 billion kilometers apart from each other. The square formation is deployed, and the inertia moves forward at 0.3 times the speed of light.

The same method was used to search for the source in the Amber Galaxy before, a comprehensive investigation was carried out.

...

Half a month later,

The main fleet arrived.

Molan led the fish bugs and teleported out of the cabin from the Chaos God No. 4 leader ship.

"Fishworm, sense it."

"Front!"

The fish and insects raised their claws to point.

"About how far is it?"

Molan asked.

Fishworm: "Very close, within 30 light years."

"very good!"

Molan turned around and gave the order: "Silver Shark No. 1 flagship, move forward 10 light year, deploy in an orderly manner, and search 10 light years ahead. Silver Shark No. 10, No. 20, No. , and No. all-purpose ships, move forward light years, deploy in an orderly manner, and search to light years ahead. Silver Shark No. ..."

"Roger that!"

"Roger that!"

"Roger that!"

"Report! Second King... King and the others are in front, do you want to go over and say hello?"

"Can such a big bug be lost? Forget it. Act quickly!"

"OK……"

"Listen to the Second King..."

"Action! Action!"

"Starship charging!"

"..."

The bugs on this expedition had all participated in the search for the source of the Amber Galaxy. After a simple assignment of tasks, each of them carried a gravity bomb and carried out their search in an orderly manner.

...

Only four years have passed.
A strange and violent gravitational fluctuation came.

The source of the bug has been found!
Then, several regular gravitational fluctuations spread across the star field, and the starships communicated with each other. Silver-blue spots of light rose from the surface of the starships, flashing regularly, summoning the scattered warriors to return to their respective starships.

The Tubber was the fastest and arrived first.

A large group of Xianglan Chamber of Commerce warriors immediately surrounded them.

"Your Majesty!" "I found it!"

A warrior named Jiaomu waved his tentacles vigorously, "My lord, we found a secondary source point. Is there a reward?"

"I don't know. You can ask the Second King. All the profits from the Huangjing Galaxy have been taken away by it."

"Oh--"

Forget about it, Second King. If things go wrong, he will be severely beaten as a reward...

Long Bai stared ahead.

The insects' gazes shifted: an asteroid with a diameter of about 4000 kilometers overlapped with the source point.

A dragonfly warrior reported: "My lord, there are traces of a lot of energy reinforcement on the surface of this planet..."

A Yanjia warrior rushed to say: "A kind of gold and earth dual-element divine power!"

Another locust warrior analyzed: "This place is very close to the True Dolphin Line. It must be that our Zerg civilization's expeditionary fleet has been here..."

"understood."

Longbai waved his claws and said, "Go and have a look!"

...

The dark space was turbulent and torn apart. Chaos God No. 4 arrived, followed closely by Tianjing No. 1 driven by White-faced God and Black-faced God.

The main fleet arrived one after another.

Without any instructions, the four energy ships automatically operated to collect the Force. The Silver Shark No. 1 flagship activated the detection system, collected information about the star field ahead, and automatically calculated and analyzed it.

The teleportation light continued to shine as the swarm of insects rushed out of the starship. After a brief look around, they activated their abilities and rushed towards the distant planet.

On the surface of the planet, the earth trembles.

This guy Yu Chong deliberately accelerated and crashed into us at an extremely high speed.

Smoke and dust rose up and rocks flew everywhere.

Super-hard ground hardened by divine power.

Then came the screaming and wailing of the mental power that spread throughout the entire planet.

"Yu Chong, what are you doing?" Molan was stunned.

"Second King, help me! My leg is broken." The fish worm screamed.

"Why didn't you fall to death?"

Molan was annoyed and went forward to check. She found that one of his legs was really broken.

Look at the ground again.

The extremely powerful reinforcement of the dual divine powers of gold and earth should be the ability of a Zerg warrior at the evolutionary level of Star Master.

It is obvious that the entire planet was built by gathering materials from a passing fleet to protect the source.

"My lord, help me! My leg is broken!"

Seeing that Molan ignored him, Yu Chong turned around and screamed at Longbai.

"..."

Long Bai was also convinced. He waved his claws and a ray of divine power containing infinite vitality of creation fell towards the fish and insects, which turned into a silk thread to pull the broken spider legs back to their place.

A lot of cracks also appeared on the shell, which healed instantly under the power of God.

"Thank you, my king~"

"The king is so awesome~"

Yuchong climbed up and scanned with his mental power, feeling depressed and angry. "Who did this? It almost killed me! Don't let me catch you, or I will push you into the Coolie Gate and smash you into pieces..."

"Alright. Fishworm, be quiet!"

Molan shook her tentacles threateningly.

The Zerg used their mental power to quickly scan the entire planet, but found nothing else. It was just that a Zerg fleet was passing by and followed its claws.

Molan waved his tentacles vigorously, shook his mental power, and shouted excitedly: "The first step of the expedition, the fleet has successfully moved forward 750 million light years!"

——It seems that exploring the starry sky is not difficult!

——The Second King is in command!

The insects cheered.

Molan then suggested: "This is the first supply station we discovered during our space expedition. Let's give it a name and give it an official number."

Here we go again~
Long Bai said nonchalantly: "Second King, come here."

Molan: "I think the supply stations on the Shinichi Dolphin Line can be changed to Travel Bug 1001, Travel Bug 1002, Travel Bug 1003, and so on."

"All the supply stations discovered by the Rose-2001 Rotor Wall can be named Travel Bug 2002, Travel Bug 2003, Travel Bug , and so on."

"In the future, when we enter the True Seven Dolphins Line and explore the supply stations we discover, we can name them Travel Bug 3001, Travel Bug 3002, Travel Bug 3003, and so on."

Molan: "Simple classification, clear and concise."

"The Second King is so smart~"

Long Bai said sarcastically, and issued an order: "All insects are free to move, but they are not allowed to leave the visual range, and they are not allowed to cause damage on the planet. The fleet will replenish its energy and set off in 30 years."

"Roger that!"

"understand!"

"Ok."

"understood."

The insects agreed and dispersed in groups of three or five.

Longbai gave Molan and Yuchong a few more instructions, then dug a cave and lay dormant.

...

...

Thirty years later, the fleet was replenished.

The Silver Shark No. 260 flagship also conducted detection and calculations and gave the optimal exploration target: million light-years ahead, an isolated group of matter that is not within the galaxy.

Based on comprehensive observations and estimates, the probability is over 60%, which is worth a try.

The fleet set out.

After a voyage of 1300 years, we arrived at our destination safely.

Similarly, the fleet sailed directly into the star field within the material group where the source point was most likely to exist.

"Fishworm, sense the source!"

Molan ordered.

Yu Chong simply sensed it, raised his claws and pointed, saying, "Over there, about 300 light years away... This star field is very poor, and there is only one source point like this."

"it is good!"

Molan gave the order: "The king runs fast, you go first. The main fleet is gathering energy and preparing to depart."

...

In the same way, it took less than three years to successfully find the source pointed by the fish and insects.

A zero-level source point with a Force concentration of only 0.6.

The fleet can be resupplied with the Force, but it will take at least 50 years.

The fleet rests and recovers.

Molan led Yuchong and boarded the Chaos God IV leader ship to search the nearby area.

not found.

That can only be the source point, officially numbered Travel Bug Supply Point No. 2002.

...

50 years later,

The fleet set out again, heading for a chaotic galaxy 410 million light-years ahead.

A galaxy with stable material in its edge star regions, beginning to establish order, and with a tendency to develop towards a stable state.

The fleet arrived.

The fish and insects guided the direction and soon found a secondary source point.

Officially named Travel Bug Supply Point No. 2003.

Fleet Supply...

After the fish worms grow and evolve into the Starry Realm, their perception ability becomes stronger, coupled with nearly a million years of rich experience in searching for the source... They cannot use their brains to think and summarize the rules, nor can they deduce and calculate, but their subconscious, instinctive judgments are more accurate.

Whenever they arrive at an unfamiliar star field, Yuchong can quickly and accurately point out the source location.

This provides great convenience for the fleet's long-distance exploration and saves time in large-scale searches.

Designed and compiled by Heifa, the intelligent system of the Silver Shark No. 1 flagship is also extremely reliable. Along the way, it observes and collects information, summarizes and calculates, and guides to the target star field with almost zero mistakes, and it can successfully find the source almost every time.

The cooperation between the fish worm and the silver shark intelligent system is invincible.

...

The length of the rotor wall is 4.7 million light years.

After a voyage that lasted 34 years, the fleet finally approached the True Seven Dolphin Line and stayed at the Travelworm 2241 supply point to wait and see.

The Rose One Rotor Wall and the True Seven Dolphin Line do not overlap; on the contrary, they intersect each other.

Between the two lies a sub-vacuum region spanning more than 3200 million light-years.

The Traveling Bug 2241 supply point is located deep in the Rose- rotor wall, and there is no suitable material star field nearby where the source point may exist.

After entering the True Seven Dolphin Line, you need to look for supply points and go deep into the stars.
The actual span far exceeds the entire fleet's maximum endurance of only 2000 million light years.

...

Faced with this situation, we must be cautious.
The Silver Shark No. 100 flagship collected data and deduced a star field suspended outside the chaotic galaxy, with initially stable matter and % active points.

It is a little further away, at 4700 million light years.

The entire fleet certainly can’t get through.

The maximum endurance of an energy ship is 6000 million light years, so we can only send energy ships to explore the way ahead.

Considering the round-trip problem, if the energy ship rashly crosses the river but cannot find the source, its force will be exhausted and it will be stranded.

Regarding the calculated result of "100% existence of the source point", the dragon cypress insects dare not and cannot fully believe it.

For safety reasons, the Silver Shark No. 1 flagship calculated and selected the second and third backup material groups.

...

The fleet has been replenished.

The flagship Silver Shark No. 1, as well as the all-round ships Silver Shark No. 2 to Silver Shark No. 9, all stayed behind and waited where they were.

Four energy ships, carrying only 5000 warriors, led by Chaos God IV and Taber, went first. (End of this chapter)
