Astral Ant Tribe

The distance between the Molan Star Region and the 101 Star Region is 28,000 light years, and it would take the Taber 12 years.

The survival carriers Hongdao No. 1 and Hongdao No. 3 set out 200 years later, and at 150 times the speed of light, it would take 187 years to sail. In total, it would take the main fleet more than 387 years to arrive.

During this time,

Longbai could first survey nearly 800 natural star systems.

The probability of natural stars overlapping with the source point is too low.

If no suitable one is found, the cargo teams of Poison Bean and Poison Wheat will be needed to transport supplies over a distance of 28,000 light years.

…

387 years have passed in one turn of the Wheel of Time.

As expected,

If the ideal natural star system is not found, there is a high probability that the 101 Star Region has no logistics base.

The Rainbow Island No. 2 survival carrier was converted into a cargo ship, and the fleet did not waste more time on the supply issue.

Mao Mei, Xingyun Bai, Shan Lingyi and other insects activated the sunburn ability to collect galaxy information, and the Taber planned the route.

Long Bai personally arranged and reorganized the team.

Rainbow Island No. 1 and Rainbow Island No. 3 acted together.

The Rainbow Island No. 1 survival carrier carried 30,000 Xianglan Chamber of Commerce soldiers. Among them, 5,000 soldiers took turns to rest, and 25,000 soldiers were always in working condition. Following the direction guided by the fish insects, they expanded in a straight line, and the search range was extended to 125 light years.

The Rainbow Island No. 3 survival carrier carried 20,000 Xianglan Chamber of Commerce soldiers, of which 17,000 soldiers were always in working condition. Every time they arrived at a place, they expanded in a straight line for 85 light years. Another 3,000 soldiers took turns to rest.

Citi Chamber of Commerce and Boshuwan Chamber of Commerce used passenger starships and cargo starships with a speed of 300 times the speed of light. They moved faster, continued from a position 85 light years away in a straight line, and expanded, extending the search line to 125 light years.

…

At this stage, we just need to find as many source points as possible and as quickly as possible, pursue the number of source points, and collect data.

The straight-line search length is extended from 100 light years to 125 light years. Every time the fish worm guides, the success rate of finding the source point increases.

…

There are also Ang Tianlian, Zichan, and Yingye three spiders. These three guys have been busy in the 45th star field for nearly 5,000 years. They are lucky and successfully found a zero-level source point.

After all, there are only three spiders, and any harvest is considered a fortune.

After they successfully found the source point, they followed into the 41st star field.

Longbai’s fleet is moving, and it is not easy to leave it alone, so it is brought into the 101st star field.

Find a suitable point, the fish worm points them in a direction, let them play by themselves, and slowly find it.

…

…

In the initial stage of order stability in a star field, the proportion of source points of each level is roughly as follows:

The number of third-level source points is fixed at 1.

The number of second-level source points is about 5 to 10.

The number of first-level source points is about 1,000 to 3,000.

The number of zero-level source points is about 300,000 to 500,000, and the number of those with a force concentration of more than 0.5 is about 50%, that is, 150,000 to 250,000.

Later, with the natural stability of the energy and matter of the galaxy, the construction of the worm for the earth, and the stability of the surrounding galaxies and even the universe as a whole, the second-level, first-level, and zero-level source points will continue to be born.

It will take about 1 billion to 3 billion years before it finally stabilizes. The number of third-level source points will not change, and it will still be 1. The number of second-level source points, first-level source points, and zero-level source points will increase by 50 to 100 times.

The derivation and distribution of source points generally follow a regular pattern, which can be simulated, calculated, and deduced.

However, due to various uncontrollable changes and irregular variables in the cosmic environment, the specific location and time of birth cannot be accurately calculated.

The lower the level of the source point, the more difficult it is to calculate accurately.

On the contrary, the third-level source point is the easiest to calculate.

By collecting the material distribution information of a star field and the source point distribution galaxies with a sufficient number and range, the possible location of the third-level source point can be deduced and calculated at the overall level.

…

Longbai changed his search ideas and the search route changed accordingly.

The 101 star field is irregular and long, with a length of 7,400 light years and an overall width of about 4,000 light years.

The thickness is only 1,000 light years, divided into 8 layers with 125 light years as a layer. The fleet started from the middle layer and searched in a ‘Z’ shape from beginning to end, turning back and forth and searching in layers.

Evenly collecting data,

it is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Time flies,

the number of source points is 100, 200, 300...

One day,

good news suddenly came from the front, and a second-level source point was found.

The coordinates of the second-level source point are extremely important data.

Combined with the nearly 500 zero-level and first-level source points that have been found, the Taber deduced and calculated, gave 1,000 points where third-level source points may exist, and planned a route.

The fleet's search method changed again, and it moved forward along the new route.

The number of routes and points is not fixed.

As more source points are found, they are constantly upgraded and optimized.

…

…

Ten thousand years have passed,

Taber calculated that all 1,000 points in the 101 star field were searched, and no third-level source points were found.

The number of source points harvested is 1,687, including two second-level source points, 188 first-level source points, and 1,492 effective zero-level source points with a force concentration of more than 0.5.

In this search mode, you will occasionally encounter a source point with a Force concentration lower than 0.5. It is not considered a valid source point and is not included in the reward statistics. However, it will still be marked, the coordinates will be recorded, and the database of the Tabor will be filled. It can also be used to locate the three Level coordinates provide a valid reference.

It is basically certain that there is no third-level source point born in the current star field 101.

The Tabor calculated and deduced, and gave 500 points that may derive third-level source points in the future, and planned a circular route.

Pause the search,

The fleet rests.

Yu Chong finally completed the unification of the Nine Marks and quickly broke through to the Evolved Half-Star Realm.

What makes Chong somewhat speechless is that the innate ‘divine pattern of the law of chaos’, after being activated in the semi-star realm awakening, still has the ability of ‘gate of chaos’.

The door's defense capability has been qualitatively improved. The violent chaos power and space-rending power shatter all energy and matter that passes through the portal.

The number of doors has been increased from one to six. Used flexibly, it can surround the surroundings to form an all-round defense, or line up in a line to form a six-layer defense to resist powerful attacks.

A bigger improvement is that fish and insects are now first-level cosmic life forms, and the accuracy of sensing source points has increased significantly.

Acting according to plan, the fleet set off and rushed to star field 124...

…

…

Another ten thousand years have passed,

Star field No. 124 has been initially discovered.

The third-level source point was also not found, and the number of other second-level, first-level, and effective zero-level source points was 1,741.

Don't stay long,

The fleet rushed to star field 125,

The good news is that Long Bai successfully found a natural star system whose source point overlaps with the star, reclaimed it, and officially named it the Scarlet Star System. It can be used as a logistics base for activities in the 125th star field.

…

…

[Time: 78th Era - 437 Yuan - 481 Years]

The transport fleet led by Bai Wei is about to arrive for the second time.

Long Bai counted the time and set off to the Manchi star system to visit the Manchi master.

Nestled against the mountains, this magnificent palace is designed in the shape of a mountain peak.

Lord Manchi sat on the throne above the main hall.

There are too many things that need to be handled personally every day. On the left and right sides of the throne, 47 'Tang Zihao' omnics in the form of flame spiders are always on standby.

Lord Manchi noticed that Long Bai was making an appointment to visit, so he skipped the queue of insects in front and summoned him directly.

So far, Long Bai's team has found two level three source points and reported them in a relatively timely manner.

In contrast, Long Bai's team is more down-to-earth, honest, and has the most harvest. Insects favored by the true god of nature are just different and have a bright future.

"I've seen Lord Manchi!" Long Bai greeted.

"Chief Longbai, long time no see!"

"Thirty thousand years."

"Time flies so fast. How's it going? Have you found the third-level source point again?"

Lord Manchi asked enthusiastically, signaling the omnic next to him to deliver delicious food.

"No--"

Long Bai said frankly: "I don't think good luck will always favor me as a worm, so I made certain adjustments to the search method. Our team moved to a remote galaxy with a low probability of level 3 source points to search for level 0, level 1 Collect material distribution data for the first-level and second-level source points, estimate the possible location of the third-level source point, and prepare to wait for a long time.”

Long Bai: "So, Lord Manchi, it is temporarily inconvenient to report relevant information."

"oh--"

"understand!"

Lord Manchi's eyes brightened slightly and he praised: "Chief Longbai, you are an absolutely rational ant king!"

"I don't really like that kind of fierce competition environment. It's just an escape."

Long Bai said modestly and asked tentatively: "Lord Manchi, has the star network project in the Amber galaxy started? I see that there is a main road that extends far away from the Manchi star system."

"The star network project has started long ago."

"Our Amber Chamber of Commerce has an agreement with all Level 7 and 8 Flame Spider Chambers, as well as some Level 6 Flame Spider Chambers. After entering the Amber Galaxy, they have 30,000 years to move freely. After that, they must organize themselves first. Build the main star network road connecting the third-level and second-level source points.”

Lord Manchi said, raising his claws and waving lightly, the holographic projection fell, stars shone, and red and green lines connected in series.

The red color represents the planned star web. Generally speaking, it is just an irregularly woven spider web.

Green represents the network that has been built, with sparse sections.

Lord Manchi introduced:

"Currently, there are 229 recorded third-level source points and 1,471 second-level source points with accurate coordinates. The total length of the main road currently planned is 6.74 million light-years."

"The star network channel connecting the Li Zhu Galaxy and the Amber Galaxy is 19.5 million light years long. Construction started on the Li Zhu Galaxy 30,000 years ago."

"The level 6, 7, and 8 large chambers of commerce that have contracts with us will gradually organize more than 20 million traveling merchant flame spiders to participate. The first phase of the intra-system star network is planned to be built within the next 30,000 years. The main link connecting the two major galaxies The Webway, because it is too far away and difficult to supply, will take at least 100,000 years to penetrate..."

While Long Bai listened carefully, he glanced quickly. As expected, a green line started from the star system, and a green line started from the amber star system near the central area of ​​the galaxy...

The tree-shaped avatar of the true god of nature is rooted in the amber star system...

There is a third-level source point called the Swallow Flower Star System between the two points, with 12 main roads extending in all directions at the same time.

Among them, there are two longest main roads of the star network, leading to the Red Star System and the Amber Star System respectively.

Coming soon!

By opening up the connection with the tree-shaped avatar of the True God of Nature, you can open a StarNet account and a temporary account, making transactions in the Manchi star system much more convenient.

Look carefully,

The Swallow Flower star system should be the 'starting point' of the entire star network system. Among the other 10 main roads, one leads to the Lingxiao star system.

Master Manchi saw Long Bai's eyes falling on the Lingxiao star system, and immediately introduced: "The Yibenmang Chamber of Commerce, which has developed well in the Baijing galaxy, undertook the star network construction project of the Lingxiao star system. They came a little late, Construction only started eight hundred years ago. The Millennium Star Network progress statistics have not yet reached the time point for statistics, so I do not have progress data here. In fact, construction has already started. "

Yibenmang Chamber of Commerce? White crystal galaxy?

Long Bai has been in the White Crystal Galaxy for more than 200,000 years. Everyone in the Level 7 Chamber of Commerce knows about him, and some of the powerful Level 6 Chamber of Commerce also know him.

I haven’t heard of the Yibenmang Chamber of Commerce.

Long Bai immediately guessed that it must be the Level 6 Flame Spider Chamber of Commerce, which the Amber Chamber of Commerce planned to support as the local Level 7 Chamber of Commerce in the Amber Galaxy.

"Is Yibenmang Chamber of Commerce also settled in the Lingxiao star system?"

"No. Yibenmang Chamber of Commerce has obtained from me the ownership of a third-level source point and the permanent management rights of half of the living planets."

Lord Manchi raised his claws and shot out a bit of golden light to guide the direction, and said enthusiastically: "Chief Longbai, here is the Mang Zuo, the Mang Star Domain, and the future headquarters of the Mang Chamber of Commerce."

"oh!"

Long Bai immediately understood Lord Manchi’s intentions and responded positively: “The emerging level 7 chamber of commerce! A chamber of commerce that can be valued by Lord Manchi must have something extraordinary. I must visit the Lingxiao star system when I return to this trip. Get acquainted.”

"That's what it should be. We are all new big forces. We will develop in the same galaxy in the future. We should get to know each other and make friends."

"Yes! There must be something we can all cooperate with!"

While Long Bai was communicating, his brain was assisting him, and he was calculating silently in his mind. At the same time, his brain was thinking rapidly, and his eyes fell on the Manred star system and the Amber star system again.

When I tried to open the StarNet account, it was blank with no data.

"Lord Manchi, your star network connecting the tree-shaped avatar of the True God of Nature should be opened soon, right? The circulation and transactions of large amounts of valuable goods require the assistance of a star network account."

"Soon. Immediately. According to the plan, the connection will be possible within 300 years. On our side, various planets and chambers of commerce branches have been built, and the star pillars and star platforms are in place. We just need to wait for the star network to be opened and it can be put into use directly."

"oh--"

Long Bai buried his head in thought.

Lord Manchi watched intently, waited for a few seconds, and asked, "Chief Longbai, what's the matter with you? It seems you haven't said anything serious yet."

"It's a bit... very important..."

Long Bai secretly made up his mind, gathered his thoughts, and said: "Lord Manchi, I owe you 76.8 million raw chaos stones. As agreed, I will repay you with first-level and second-level raw energy materials. Do you still remember this?"

To pay off a debt? Lord Manchi laughed and said: "I can forget everything, but I will never forget what other insects owe me."

Lord Manchi asked: "Is the secondary mineral deposit ready so quickly? Do you still have high-end mineral star management technology?"

"Yes!"

Long Bai answered in the affirmative and said briefly and vaguely: "At the expense of reducing production, we will accelerate the formation rate of the mineral deposits."

As he spoke, the space in front of him rippled slightly, and two oversized black metal boxes appeared in front of Piao Fei Manchi.

"Is there such technology?"

Lord Manchi muttered and opened one to check.

There are 50 knowledge compasses neatly stacked inside.

There is a number,

According to the number, take out the No. 01 Knowledge Compass and read the information.

Starship design drawings? It looks very novel at first glance!

Lord Manchi immediately became interested and read quickly, his eyes gradually shining.

A set of technical data on the design and manufacturing of survival motherships that are very different from the technology of human civilization.

Open another metal box and check it out. It also contains an integer of 50 knowledge compasses.

It records the characteristic data of five hundred primary and secondary non-metallic raw materials that have not been mastered by human technological civilization, as well as related mineral stars, mineral vein structures, as well as refining and processing technologies.

"sharp!"

"Is this a complete set of starship technology from a strange technological civilization? It's so complete! It's really rare!"

Lord Manchi was so amazed that he couldn't help but flip through it quickly, read it, and read it carefully.

This set is specially designed by Black Law for Zerg warriors. It is a series of survival motherships, officially named ‘Wang Buzzard’.

Spherical structure, the speed is 50 times the speed of light. According to the size, it is divided into four models with diameters of 7 kilometers, 10 kilometers, 13 kilometers and 15 kilometers, respectively:

[Wang Ye 7 Type Survival Mothership]

[Wang Yu Type 10 Survival Mothership]

[Wang Yu 13 type survival mothership]

[Wang Yu 15 type survival mothership]

The same series carries the same energy ships, landing ships, engineering ships, and shipboard maintenance equipment.

"Chief Longbai, where did you get this?"

While Master Manchi was ecstatic, he was puzzled and asked: "Xing Shen'ao? Or, does Xing Shen'ao get it from the Star God Alliance?"

"Star God Chi is an ancient innate god who existed at the dawn of the old universe era. His life spanned the entire old universe era, and he has participated in wars against and destroying god-level civilizations more than once. He has an extremely large amount of universe information and rich scientific and technological knowledge. …”

The Lord of Manchi felt that he had guessed the origin of the thing, and said to himself.

"Uh..."

"The origin of the thing is indeed related to the Star God Chi..."

Long Bai hesitated, took out a blank knowledge compass, activated the soul ability, and wrote information such as the Eternal Star Civilization, the Vafa Civilization, the Black Fa Starship-type Semi-God Intelligent Machine, and the Star God Chi's sneak attack and destruction of the Vafa Civilization.

"Lord Manchi, please take a look at this first!"

Long Bai looked solemn, and controlled the knowledge compass to fly forward.

Lord Manchi immediately realized that the matter was not simple, and then changed his serious expression, raised his claws to take it, and read it.

Then, the whole insect kicked its legs and jumped up.

"God-level technology from the Eternal Star Civilization!"

"Demigod-level intelligent machines directly related to the Eternal Stars!"

"This... Great Chief Long Bai, you are too lucky, right?"

Long Bai: "I also find it incredible."

Long Bai observed the reaction of the Lord of Manchi, and the space in front of him rippled slightly, and three knowledge compasses floated out.

Manchi Lord raised his claws and took a look, checking the information.

A specially designed super-large information storage device.

It is a temporary product, the material requirements are not high, the commonly used zero-level and first-level energy materials, the manufacturing process is sophisticated, but it is not complicated, it is just a stack of many storage units.

A single set of equipment is 300 meters long, 200 meters wide, and 100 meters high.

A total of 10 sets are needed!

Manchi Lord is a smart bug, and after thinking twice, he understood Longbai's intention.

It comes from the semi-god-level technological civilization, which is in the same line as the eternal star civilization, and includes some knowledge and information of god-level technology. It is of great use to himself, and can provide a solid foundation for the future evolution of the true god, and a vital reference.

Manchi understood that the other party was going to exchange knowledge and information with him...

"Captain Longbai, are you going to exchange for a level 3 source point?"

Longbai: "Level 3 source point!"

Manchi Lord asked: "One?"

Longbai: "I'm not greedy. One is enough."

Manchi Lord pondered for a moment, secretly delighted, and said: "It's a fair deal!"

Without much nonsense, he pointed his tentacles, and a beam of golden light shot out, hitting a star field adjacent to the Shuhua star field, and said:

"Qingqianliu star field, Qingqianliu seat, force concentration 3.36, a level 3 source point that has not yet been built. I marked it myself, and it can be used now I can accompany you to transfer the ownership. "

"Captain Longbai, the information storage device you provided is very simple and practical. With my intelligent machine army, it can be built within ten years. My request is very simple, and I would like to trouble you to cash in the knowledge information as soon as possible."

"No problem!"

Longbai simply agreed, trying to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, thought for a while, and asked: "Lord Manchi, let's talk about the debt issue. I will repay it with more advanced and new materials, is it okay?"

"Of course! These are all trivial matters! Trivial matters!"

Lord Manchi said proudly: "I I'll give you a discount. You can repay with the materials for making four 'Wangwu 13 type survival motherships'."

"Thank you!"

Longbai continued: "Lord Manchi, I'm sure you've guessed that I need to make a batch of survival motherships, as well as supporting landing ships, energy ships, engineering ships, etc."

"I understand! I can open a special production line for your new technology. Moreover, according to the previous promise, I will do the work for you for free."

Lord Manchi said, and then changed the subject and asked: "Captain Longbai, what is the specific number? One thing is one thing, if the number is too large... ”

Longbai: “Not big…”

Longbai took out a knowledge compass, controlled Piaofei to hand it forward, and said: “Our Xianglan Chamber of Commerce has certain technological manufacturing capabilities and can independently produce starship hulls, keels, partitions and other accessories with little technical content.”

“The core accessories designed and precisely processed such as power systems, energy systems, intelligent control systems, reconnaissance systems, and defense systems need to be manufactured by the Amber Chamber of Commerce.”

Longbai explained: “We are not trying to save money, but mainly to save transportation capacity.”

Manchi Lord tapped his tentacles to show his understanding and took the knowledge compass to check.

The customized list lists the number of various accessories in detail.

See the catalog:

[Wangwu 7 type survival mothership] 180 sets.

[Wangwu 10 type survival mothership] 90 sets.

[Wangwu 13 type survival mothership] 45 sets.

Including the matching landing ships, only the core components, shells, etc. are purchased and built by themselves.

"Captain Longbai, I'm telling you, this amount..."

"What are the abilities of the four-dimensional world of Heifa? Sacrificing production? Accelerating the development of mineral veins?"

"This sacrifice is not that big~"

Manchi Lord was shocked, and suddenly excited, praising: "It is worthy of being a demigod-level technological civilization!"

After that, the excitement that he could not control quickly subsided, and turned into a fierce killing intent, and slowly said:

"The demigod-level power system and energy system were robbed by the Star God Chi? Looting the wealth of a demigod-level technological civilization, and having more than enough time to lay out and prepare, then, the Star God Chi is likely to survive, right? It is very necessary to find it..."

Longbai: "I will build an expedition fleet as soon as possible, and search for it. Find it, destroy it, and take back what belongs to the Heifa. Of course, I can also provide you, Lord Manchi, with precious physical references at that time."

Longbai's meaning is very clear, go it alone!

Coincidentally, Lord Manchi also has this idea. The Amber Chamber of Commerce has a ready-made expedition fleet, which has an absolute first-mover advantage.

Manchi said sincerely: "Captain Longbai, we can all communicate and cooperate with each other on this matter. If you need any help, feel free to come to me."

"Okay! Thank you in advance!"

Longbai brought the topic back on track and asked: "Lord Manchi, how do you calculate the OEM fee?"

Longbai took the initiative to say: "I understand that your previous promise was made considering the limited ability of our Chamber of Commerce. We can only provide materials to build motherships for one or two at most. Free OEM for one or two is of course a small matter for you."

"But the current situation is that with such a large quantity...so the promise of free OEM is not counted. Lord Manchi, you can collect the OEM fee as usual."

-Dealing with smart bugs is easy.

Lord Manchi nodded, pondered for a moment, and said politely: "I can't go back on my word. I will help to build 100 [King Wu 7 Survival Carriers] for free. For the rest, I will charge 10% depreciation fee based on the materials. Great Chief Longbai, there is a long way to go. Your starship parts manufacturing business will be at this rate in the future."

The normal charge is 20% of the whole ship, which is equivalent to splitting it in half, which is reasonable...

"Thank you!"

Longbai thanked him, paused, and said: "Lord Manchi, there is one more small matter. I also need three fully equipped [Sea Wolf Bass 150-13 Survival Carriers]. Again, one for two? Two How about exchanging a set of materials for manufacturing the [Wangwu 13 type survival mothership] for one? "

"Relatively speaking, it's really a small matter..."

The Manchi Lord agreed: "No problem! Need three? There is no stock at the moment, you need to wait about two hundred years."

After the Manchi Lord finished speaking, he paused and asked: "Captain Longbai, you should understand that at our level, wealth and power are burdens, and knowledge and strength are the eternal pursuit. If there is nothing else, let's go to the Qingqianliu star field first?"

Longbai: "..."

Longbai: "Okay! I have a starship with a speed of 2200 times the speed of light, Lord Manchi, I will take you." (End of this chapter)
