"Level 3 source point?!"

"Where is it?"

Longbai flashed and approached the mothership, "Where is it? Is it confirmed to be a level 3 source point?"

Bai Ru reported in detail: "Hongfeng personally sent back the message, saying that the 111th Fir, Team 2, Group 7, a little soldier named 'Bai Ru' found it. The preliminary estimate is that the Force concentration is about 3.2."

"Bai Ru?"

"That little guy..."

"When I was a kid, I said that the little guy is smart and must have a promising future!"

Longbai had some impression of this little soldier. He was ecstatic, took a long breath, waved his tentacles vigorously, and said fiercely:

"Good! Very good! Very good! Great!"

The soldiers in each command cabin also received the news at the same time and rushed out.

The distance is quite far, 4 light years away.

Longbai took out the Taber, carrying all the insects, and jumped here.

…

10 billion kilometers deep into the nebula, there are dust and meteorites distributed.

The insects changed to space teleportation or sub-light speed to approach.

Molan also received the news that the throne of glory was full of insects, and they arrived at the same time.

Led by Hongfeng, a large group of insects nearby arrived first, gathered in a group, and were looking at the source point and cheering.

Level 3 source point!

Near the source point, the original force was thick and almost condensed into substance, spreading in all directions of space like a wave.

"King!"

"Second King!"

"Captain Longbai, I found it!"

A brown-green half-star locust warrior with black stripes looked crazy, staring at his legs, waving his antennae and shouting:

"Second King, I! I! I! Look at me! I found it! Level 3 source point! It has been accurately measured, and the original force concentration is 3.24."

Long-winged Sumu locust warrior.

The little guy was so happy that his water and wood dual-element original energy splashed out of control, and his two eyes were almost on fire with excitement.

"I saw it!"

"Bai Ru is really amazing!"

"Bai Ru is so lucky~"

Mo Lan's attention was attracted by the third-level source point. She praised perfunctorily, her eyes sparkling with colorful light, and suddenly spread her wings and cheered:

"Great! That's great!"

"Our Xianglan Chamber of Commerce also has its own third-level source point!"

"From now on, we are also a well-deserved top force in the universe!"

Then, she changed her tone and proposed:

"Bai Ru is a talented little warrior I personally trained! Why don't I mark this source point!"

"..."

Long Bai was also ecstatic, calm on the surface, and waved his claws calmly.

"Oh~Oh~"

"Thank you, my king!"

Mo Lan cheered, swayed and whipped her tentacles, drove away the insects surrounding the source point, activated her ability, condensed the mark, and controlled it to fall to the source point.

The third-level source point was the same, and it was simply marked.

After receiving the information, more and more warriors gathered and rushed over.

They gathered in groups of three or five to talk, marveled, and envied.

More envy, jealousy, and hope.

For all Zerg forces, opening up a new galaxy is a feast for making money.

For ordinary warriors under the forces, it is the fairest opportunity to rise in status and change their destiny. There is no consideration of race, birth, talent, or inheritance. It depends entirely on luck.

——This little thing called 'Bai Ru' is so lucky!

Seeing that the insects were almost all there, Long Bai shook his mental power and officially announced: "Bai Ru discovered the third-level source point. According to the rules of the Chamber of Commerce, his position level will be directly promoted to level 19, and he will receive 100 million Chamber of Commerce shares."

Long Bai further split the shares of Xianglan Chamber of Commerce into 1 trillion shares. All warriors who were later promoted to core senior executives could only receive 100 million shares, which is one ten-thousandth.

A preparation in advance.

In the future, after the Chamber of Commerce becomes bigger and stronger in the Amber Galaxy, it will inevitably need to train thousands or even tens of thousands of core management senior executives.

"Thank you, Chief Long Bai, for the promotion!"

Bai Ru continued to be ecstatic.

Longbai, the chief, is at level 21 in the Chamber of Commerce.

Molan, the chief, is at level 20 in the Chamber of Commerce.

The next ones are Bai Ru, Bai Fan, Hong Feng, Gui Shan, who are in charge of important positions, or are the ‘vice presidents’ or ‘general commanders of the corps’.

Many assistant kings such as Juniper and Silver Cypress, as well as Zerg warriors such as Woodberry, Mountain Persimmon, Green Maple, Grassberry, Jasper, etc., are only level 18.

Instantly, he became a core member of the third echelon of the Chamber of Commerce, second only to the chief and the chief.

Longbai continued to announce: “Bai Ru, in the future, you can directly withdraw the resources you need for evolution and growth from Vice President Bai Fan. Including the law fruit and the divine fruit, if you need it, report to Bai Fan in advance, and you will be given priority.”

“Understood!”

Bai Ru agreed.

Longbai pondered and said, "If you have the ability and are willing to work, you can find Giant Cypress and White Blossom and let them arrange a job for you. If you don't want to work, you can also return to the territory, concentrate on growing and evolving, and help take care of the Chamber of Commerce's Force plants."

Bai Ru: "I have the ability and am willing to work!"

Bai Ru reported: "Captain Longbai, I am good at water and wood abilities. I followed Woodberry! I am good at territory management!"

"Very good. Very energetic and motivated warrior."

Longbai said: "In the future, when the source point is opened up, I will arrange a zero-level source point star system for you to manage."

Bai Ru said in a sonorous voice: "Captain Longbai, rest assured, I can manage it well."

"Well——"

Long Bai tapped his tentacles and greeted: "All members with job levels of 18 and above, go to the Tubo and gather for a meeting. The other insects will rest first and wait for the mother ship to come over, then return to the mother ship to assemble."

…

…

There are not many members of the Chamber of Commerce with rank 18 and above. Counting the first, fourth, and fifth generations of Long Bai's subordinates, there are only about 70 in total.

In the Tabor conference hall, there is almost a seat for each insect.

Transported directly to your seat.

Holographic projection, showing the entire star map of the Amber Galaxy, slowly zooming in.

A shining purple-gold spot represents the third-level source point, Star Field No. 01, which is most likely the only one.

A golden spot represents the secondary source point.

It's the same one that Sang found earlier.

4 silver spots represent first-level source points.

Three of them were found by the Pandan Chamber of Commerce and one was found by the Citi Chamber of Commerce.

There are also 14 green spots, representing zero-order source points.

Among them, the Pandan Chamber of Commerce found 11, the Citi Chamber of Commerce found 2, and the Pau Shue Wan Chamber of Commerce was lucky enough to find 1 as well.

There has been no news from Angtianlian, Zichan, and Eagle Leaf insects, which means there is no harvest.

The insects in the hall were still in an excited state of finding the third-level source point, and they were noisy.

Long Bai waved his claws, and a white line connected the golden light spot representing the second-level source point and the purple-gold light spot representing the third-level source point.

Long Bai spoke solemnly and delivered a formal speech:

"Everyone, be quiet. I will arrange the next actions."

"Black Law should still be on the way to the second-level source point. I drove the Tubo to inform, and arranged to go to the second-level source point to rest and recharge, and then change the route and come to the third-level source point to station. The distance is 1,241 light years , it’s a little far away, it’s not a big problem, just let it float slowly... We can’t help with Heifa’s size.”

"The level three source point here will serve as a base for the production of level one and level two raw energy materials in the next 100,000 years. How to transform it in the future will be determined based on the situation."

"At the current stage of the Amber Galaxy, there are still 120 to 150 third-level source points that are unowned or have not yet been derived."

"In the next 50,000 to 100,000 years, our Pandan Chamber of Commerce will take the search for level three source points as our primary goal, and incidentally harvest level two, level one, and zero level source points."

"clear!"

"Understand!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"The great leader Long Bai is mighty!"

"The two kings are mighty!"

After successfully finding a level three source point, the insects' emotions burned, their confidence surged, and they cheered in agreement.

There are still more than a hundred unmaintained source points, and they still maintain the first-mover advantage. According to this efficiency, it is not too much to move quickly and find one or two more points, right?

Long Bai's thoughts turned, and through the artist's control, he controlled the holographic projection to reduce the scale. His tentacles moved up and down to indicate silence, and he continued to arrange:

"Star Region No. 01, no need to look for it anymore, let's move..."

As he spoke, a drop of water was shot out, turning into a green mist on the holographic projection, covering and marking the large material-rich star area near the 01 star area.

"This star field is numbered 45. Before star field 01 is confirmed to have a third-level source point, according to Tubo's calculation, the probability of a third-level source point in star field 45 is more than 60%."

"Now, it is confirmed that there is a Level 3 source point in Star Domain 01, and we have found it. Based on the available information, the probability of a Level 3 source point in Star Domain 45 has increased to more than 70%, which is not low. "

"Currently, the best star areas already have large chambers of commerce, large clusters, and elite teams active and searching. Compared with them, our team is at a disadvantage in all other aspects except for having better luck. Don't compete with them, don't follow them. They are crowded, so we move quietly and change to star field 45."

Long Bai paused and said: "Currently, there is at least one large chamber of commerce team active in Star Region 01. I don't know which chamber of commerce it is from, and there is no need to know. If the other party is not friendly, there is no need for us to be friendly..."

"According to the rules, all forces and teams involved in the search for source points should share harvest information in a timely manner, and the Amber Chamber of Commerce will intermediary to exchange intelligence to avoid repeated searches and a waste of time and energy. Especially for the third-level source point, after discovery, timely reporting to Amber Galaxy report, registration, number..."

Long Bai: "Let's keep a low profile and don't report it to the police yet. Let this team that came to Star Area 01 to compete with us and rob us waste their time here."

"hey-hey!"

"Ha ha!"

"The king is still the worst!"

All the insects were happy and agreed vigorously.

Long Bai ordered: "Yinbai, take Thousand Miles of Thunder Bamboo and Thousand Miles of Pyrothorn with you, stay, hide, and guard the source. If other teams find you, be careful, be polite, and be hypocritical. , first ask about the origin of the other party, and then tell them clearly that the source point has been marked by the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce. You have the ability to be reborn, so don't think of doing bad things. "

"clear!"

Yinbai agreed.

Long Bai continued to arrange: "Hongmao, you take two soldiers, drive the escort satellite, go and notify the Citizen team, come and gather, and go to Star Area 45 together."

"Lv Xin, please inform the Boshu Bay Chamber of Commerce and come over to gather. Inform Captain Ang Tianlian on the way and ask if you want to go to Star Area 45 together."

"OK."

"receive!"

Red Maple and Green Heart agreed.

Long Bai had an idea, and the holographic projection quickly zoomed in, locking on the 45th area star field. He tapped his tentacles lightly, and a ray of green light shot out, marked, and said:

"This is pulsar number 045."

"The two kings and I took the Tabor and went ahead to explore and collect information in the star field. Tapbot calculated and planned the optimal search path for the large force."

"This transfer has a range of more than 5,000 light years. The Meran Type 13 survival mothership can only travel at 50 times the speed of light and will not arrive until 100 years later. Later, Dudou and Feiyang have arrived. Baifan, please discuss with them and complete the logistics and supply work. Finally, everyone meets up at Pulsar No. 045.”

…

…

The meeting is over,

The survival mothership also arrived through space jump and hovered near the gaseous material cloud. The insects either returned to the mothership to rest or were active nearby.

The ability to collect materials and create a planet for the remaining Silver Cypress, Thousand Mile Thunder Bamboo and Thousand Mile Pyrothorn to settle down.

Dragon Cypress, Red Maple, and Green Heart act separately.

Long Bai piloted the Tubo and headed straight to the secondary source point at the fastest speed, calculated the speed and path, and found Heifa who was on his way.

Black Fa immediately noticed it and opened the teleportation portal.

The Tabor sailed directly into the dimensional world.

"..."

"King?"

"Second King?"

"Why are you here?"

"Have you found the third-level source point?"

"Isn't it an inspection?"

"..."

The escorting insects such as Hongying, Hongcha, Hongxing, Hongguang, and Hongxi quickly approached.

Heifa couldn't help but ask: "Leader Long Bai and Chief Mo Lan are still some distance from the secondary source point. Why are you here?"

Mo Lan said in a calm tone: "Successfully found the third-level source point of Star Field No. 01!"

As he spoke, the space in front of him swayed slightly, and a compass of knowledge floated out and landed on Hongying.

"Star Navigation Coordinates. Hong Ying, please keep it safe and go back to guide Heifa. Be careful and don't go astray."

"OK!"

"Second King, please don't worry!"

Hongying raised her paw to take it and read it for reference.

"where?"

"Is it far?"

"What is the specific concentration of the Force?"

"Great! Our Pandan Chamber of Commerce also has its own third-level source point!"

Hongcha, Hongxing, Hongguang, Hongqian and other insects cheered and surrounded Hongying for questioning.

Long Bai raised his paw, and a little white light bloomed on the tip of his toe, condensing into a holographic projection of the No. 01 star field, detailing the positions of each source point, as well as the position of the pulsar, and marking the distance.

"Hefa, the third-level source point with a force concentration of 3.24, how long will it take for you to recover?"

"200,000 years? This is a long process that requires a sufficient amount of force, but it does not mean that the more force, the faster..."

Heifa was unsure of the answer, and then said: "Do I need to create raw energy materials? If it is a third-level source point with abundant raw power, I can simulate the world environment to breed materials and heal at the same time."

Hefa added: "If there is a star that provides heat energy, I will recover faster."

"Um--"

Long Bai agreed: "The source point happens to be located in the gaseous material cloud. After the craze of finding the source point is over, I will arrange it for you as soon as possible."

The space in front of Mo Lan surged, and a landing ship appeared and landed smoothly.

"Black Method, if we take root in the third-level source point and produce first-level raw energy materials, we can make materials for this kind of landing ship... How many ships can be built in each batch? How much time will it take?"

The oval golden jade mechanical core emits a golden beam, which sweeps past the landing ship and scans back and forth three times.

Heifa replied: "Some materials only require less than 5,000 years, and some materials require more than 10,000 years. With comprehensive coordination, it would take 12,000 to produce the materials to make such a simple starship."

"Assuming my recovery and consumption, I can produce about 850,000 ships in one production. If I recover from my injuries, I can produce about 1.1 million ships in one production."

"!!!"

When Long Bai and Mo Lan heard this, they subconsciously raised their tentacles.

At the same time, he buried his head in calculations and soon had an approximate number.

According to the normal material prices in the White Crystal Galaxy in normal times, excluding the healing loss of the black method, an average of about 7 billion worth of materials can be produced every year.

Equivalent conversion,

If it were replaced by a 10-kilometer-diameter Molan 10-type survival mothership, the average material produced every 100 years would be enough to build one.

"Heifa, your ability is too strong!"

Mo Lan was amazed.

"It's not that I'm strong, it's the third-level source point."

Heifa said: "Compared with the second-level source point, the advantage of the third-level source point is not only the higher concentration of the Force, but also the greater amount of the Force that can be collected per unit time."

“The total amount of Force that can be collected from a third-level source point with Force Concentration Level 3.2 per unit time is approximately 10 times that of a Source Point with Force Concentration Level 2.2, and 100 times that of a First-Level Source Point with Force Concentration Level 1.2. "

"In other words, the ability of a level three source point to produce first-level raw energy materials is 100 times that of a level one source point."

"Of course, under normal circumstances, no one will use the third-level source point to produce low-level first- and second-level raw energy materials, which is a waste of resources."

"The most cost-effective way is to produce level 3 materials from level 3 sources, but it requires a long waiting time."

"Of course, given the current environment and situation you are in, it is most cost-effective to produce first- and second-level materials."

After Heifa explained, he added: "You use this kind of starship to carry Zerg warriors, sail at sub-light speed, and find the source? I can give you a better solution in terms of manufacturing materials, starship design, and manufacturing process. Unit time , with the same functions and better performance, the production time can be shortened to 10,000 years, and the output is still 1.2 million ships. "

"If you can allocate some Zerg warriors to collect cosmic materials and reduce the consumption of Force creations, the output can be increased by another 10%."

"!!!"

The Zerg were surprised again.

It is worthy of being a semi-god-level technological civilization! Too powerful!

"We can't spare the energy to collect materials for the time being."

"We don't need so many landing ships!"

Molan asked: "Hei Fa, what about the survival mothership? Can you design a survival mothership with lower cost and better performance based on the life characteristics of our natural Zerg?"

Hei Fa: "Of course. The Marfa civilization is engaged in interstellar trade, and the biggest trading project is to help civilizations of various life forms to design and build various starships for various purposes."

Long Bai raised his claws to hold down Molan, indicating not to make trouble, and asked: "How long is the shortest production cycle of a survival mothership with a diameter of 10 kilometers and a speed of 50 times the speed of light? How much is the output?"

Hei Fa: "The power and energy systems require secondary materials, so the shortest production cycle is 30,000 years. Considering the healing consumption, the materials produced at one time can manufacture about 280 ships."

-280 ships!

-It is worthy of being a demigod!

-30,000 years is not too long, and the craze for finding the source has not completely passed.

The eyes of the insects flashed, and their brains worked rapidly.

Longbai said: "Hei Fa, after arriving at the third-level source point, produce energy materials corresponding to three types of starships with diameters of 7 kilometers, 10 kilometers, and 13 kilometers."

"The small-scale survival mothership with a diameter of 7 kilometers accounts for half of the production, and each one is equipped with 6,000 landing ships."

"The survival motherships with diameters of 10 kilometers and 13 kilometers each account for a quarter of the production, and are equipped with 20,000 and 35,000 landing ships respectively."

"In addition, the materials for various repairs and spare parts also need to be taken into consideration."

Hei Fa: "Okay."

Hei Fa: "The materials of the three types you mentioned are basically the same. They can be produced according to actual needs."

Hei Fa: "The mothership and landing ship I designed may have a bit high requirements for process and technology."

Longbai waved his claws, "This is not a problem. When the time comes, just give me a design drawing, and I can handle the rest..."

…

Longbai communicated with Hei Fa, explained various things, and quickly returned to the Molan 13-type survival mothership.

Waited for 14 years.

Red Maple and Green Heart led the teams of Citi Hill and Boshu Bay Chamber of Commerce to gather.

After some discussion,

two frigates were arranged to lead the way,

the fleet entered silent mode, tried not to send out any wave signals, and quietly evacuated the 01 star field. (End of this chapter)
