Astral Ant Tribe

Inside the Black Method, the four-dimensional space with a diameter of 30 billion kilometers is a world of its own, similar to the deep space of the universe, empty, dark, and cold.

In the depths of darkness, there are ten blue spots shining, the assembled Wang Ye 7 survival mothership.

Uniform livery.

Unified ‘nocturne tree flower’ logo.

Unified number,

The individual mothership numbers are Shuhua 001, Shuhua 002, Shuhua 003, and up to Shuhua 010.

The 10 motherships together form the "Shuhua First Combined Fleet", and so on, followed by the "Shuhua Second Combined Fleet", "Shuhua Third Combined Fleet"...

Each Wang Bute 07 survival mothership can carry 10,000 Zerg warriors, dispatched by the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce, with 1 captain, 4 deputy captains, 30 combat bugs, and 10 technology bugs.

…

To search for the source point, this small mothership, which is only 7 kilometers in diameter and can move flexibly, is more useful.

…

In the current Amber Galaxy, starships are in short supply.

Long Bai attached great importance to this batch of survival motherships and personally stayed at the site, always paying attention to the construction progress. The Tabor runs fast, and if it encounters a problem, whether it's missing insects or precision components, it can be solved immediately.

"Your Majesty!"

Heiti came to report, "The materials for the third batch of core components have been refined!"

The third and final batch.

According to the plan, they will be sent to the Manchi star system for processing, and then the core components processed in the previous batch will be shipped back. Finally, the transport ship Molan made another trip, and all the core components of the OEM were in place.

"OK--"

Long Bai agreed, stood up and said: "Inform Hong Ma and Gui Fan to take a look at the progress of the Shuhua 010 ship. It's almost time for our first fleet to set off..."

…

…

Mandarin star system.

Led by a flagship with a diameter of 18 kilometers, a large fleet slowly arrived at the near star port.

Under the flagship, there are three survival motherships with a diameter of 15 kilometers, five survival motherships with a diameter of 13 kilometers, a maintenance ship with a diameter of 10 kilometers, a supply ship with a diameter of 10 kilometers, as well as several pilot ships and frigates of various sizes.

The configuration can be called a luxurious inter-galactic voyage fleet.

Each starship is printed with the conspicuous "Three Peaks Rising Sun" logo. A glowing red sun slowly rises from the middle of the three peaks. The symbol of dawn is the fleet of the Dawn Chamber of Commerce.

The fleet's flagship coating is also printed with the logo of a green and yellow lingfengcao. There is a row of flashing numerical symbols [00103] below the Lingfengcao.

Dawn Chamber of Commerce has 11 similar-sized, inter-system fleets running. This one is the 'Lingfeng 03 Fleet' commanded by Lord Lingfeng.

…

When the fleet docked, the frigate immediately took action, surrounding a survival mothership with a diameter of 15 kilometers in the fleet, and set up a battle array. The ship's scientific and technological weapons left the cabin, stored energy, and locked the escape direction.

The hatch located at the North Pole of the mothership opened, and passenger Star Spiders appeared one by one, set off, and landed at the star port.

After landing at the star port, flame spider warriors of various colors with the Dawn Chamber of Commerce logo printed on their bodies escorted flame spider warriors of all sizes and shapes out of the passenger star spider...

prisoner.

Building star webs in the dark deep space is pure hard work. Unless the salary is particularly good or the spiders specialize in building star webs, few serious business flame spiders are willing to do it.

Now is the time to use insects. The flame spiders who have committed crimes are sent over and replaced with sealed suppression through labor reform. The time ratio is one to one, and they are released in place after serving their sentences.

…

Another survival mothership with a diameter of 15 kilometers arrived at another star port.

The cabin door opened and the passenger Star Spider began to transfer.

The same group of spiders was guarding another group of spiders, but the supervision was obviously not that strict.

These are various reasons. The traveling merchant Flame Spider, who was burdened with huge debts, built a star network to repay the debts.

…

Another survival mothership with a diameter of 15 kilometers arrived at the star port named Nagato.

At the equator of the mothership, 32 hatches for normal access are open.

Densely packed and diverse Zerg warriors rushed out.

As if they were fleeing for safety, they had bags of spider silk tied to their backs and large and small bags of spider silk bags on their claws, flocking to the starport.

Spend money to buy a ticket, board the Dawn Chamber of Commerce mothership, and sail to the Amber Galaxy for development. Chamber of Commerce warriors.

There are also five survival motherships with a diameter of 13 kilometers, all of which are like this.

…

The Shuhua Chamber of Commerce rented a store in Yongteng Star Port and opened a temporary service location.

Grass Dragon and Peanut guarded.

"Guild Master Caolong!"

"Peanuts will grow!"

"The Dawn Chamber of Commerce's fleet has arrived, and it's time to get to work."

The infantry warrior of the Amber Chamber of Commerce, who patrolled the star port and was responsible for order work, received a favor fee and shouted with vibrating mental power.

"Dawn Chamber of Commerce?"

"How many bugs came?"

In the store, Caolong and Peanut woke up from their hibernation. Their habitual ability to fix their souls was swept away. They jumped in shock and looked at each other. At the same time, they rushed out of the store to check the situation.

Tens of thousands of Zerg warriors fell towards the ground of Starport Square like raindrops.

Looking up, the black crows are full of insects.

——The Dawn Chamber of Commerce’s fleet!

——Awesome!

Grass Dragon and Peanut were surprised and ecstatic.

After the joy,

Caolong calmed down his emotions and gave a look.

Peanut understood, unfolded his mental power, and shouted: "Recruitment! Recruitment! The Shuhua Chamber of Commerce's joint fleet is recruiting adventure warriors. We have everything from motherships, landing ships, and frigates. We will provide the starships and take care of the logistics. You can take the source points you find..."

--Hmm? ? ?

--What the hell?

--Is there such a good thing?

--What bad water is this dead profiteer holding back?

--New scam routine?

--Let's go! Let's take a look!

--As soon as the shouting came out, it immediately attracted the attention of almost all the bugs.

--Driven by curiosity, large groups of bugs rushed to the Shuhua Chamber of Commerce's station.

--Peanut waited at the door to greet them.

--Grass Dragon stood solemnly behind the star platform in the main hall on the first floor of the shop.

-- "It looks like a regular chamber of commerce~"

"A shop in a third-level source star port, you dare not mess around, right?"

"Little Spider, what did you call?"

Peanut spoke quickly: "The Shuhua Chamber of Commerce and the joint fleet are recruiting a large number of adventure warriors. Survival motherships, landing ships, and frigates are all available. We are responsible for all the starships that search for the source point, and we are responsible for logistics. We provide third-level source point territories for life species to take root.

We also arranged for veterans with 40,000 years of experience in source search to follow the fleet to guide and command the work. All zero-level source points belong to whoever finds them. The first-level and second-level source points are divided according to proportion."

"I knew it was a trick!"

"If you find a zero-level source point, just take it away?"

"First ... How are the second-level source points divided? "

"What about the third-level source points? The third-level source points are the key. Aren't we all here for the third-level source points? "

"You want to keep them all for yourself?"

"The identification is complete. Unscrupulous profiteers. Everyone can go home."

"Shuhua Chamber of Commerce? Where did this chamber of commerce come from? I have never heard of it before."

Peanut shook his mental power and introduced briefly: "Are you all from the Dawn Galaxy? If you are from the White Crystal Galaxy, you must know our Shuhua Chamber of Commerce. Don't worry, our strength and reputation are absolutely guaranteed. We have full control of 3 third-level source points in the Amber Galaxy. We are definitely a top-level chamber of commerce."

As soon as these words came out, the entire noisy star port instantly quieted down.

--Is it true?

--A nameless small chamber of commerce found 3 third-level source points?

--This is not good news!

--Does that mean that the third-level source points have been divided up by the merchants of all sizes who arrived early?

...

Peanut shook his mental power and said bluntly: "Those who dream of finding the third-level source point can wake up. According to the authoritative statistics of the Amber Chamber of Commerce, the number of Zerg warriors in the Amber Galaxy exceeded 100 million two thousand years ago. You are the fourth batch to arrive, and you are late. The easily found third-level source points are gone."

"Friends who are interested in zero-level, first-level, and second-level source points can consider joining our Shuhua United Fleet. For specific details, each chamber of commerce can send one or two representatives to discuss with our President Caolong in detail."

"Those who don't want to queue here can also enter the Life Planet first and go to the commercial street in the 1001 area of ​​the north of Yongteng Star. There There is also a branch of our Shuhua Chamber of Commerce. You can talk to President Yudou in detail. "

"Caolong and President Yudou are also deputy commanders of the Shuhua Chamber of Commerce's joint fleet and are fully responsible for insect affairs."

"The conditions offered by our Shuhua Chamber of Commerce are extremely generous, unique in the universe. But correspondingly, our management is extremely strict, and we have requirements for the individual strength, psychological quality, and ideological and moral qualities of recruited soldiers. We don't recruit all insects."

"My name is Peanut, you can call me Vice President Peanut. The 458th Daylight Sea Arena Battle, 28th place in the Sujing battlefield. I am not only eloquent, but I am also very good at fighting."

Peanut finished speaking.

-Yo. Yo. Yo.

-Very good at fighting?

-Who are you fighting?

-Who are you trying to scare here?

The quiet square erupted again, and mental power was crisscrossed, but everyone suppressed it, muttering, discussing, and discussing in groups of three or two.

"Peanut... President..."

A warrior who was standing in front, with a brown-red metallic carapace and golden elytra, raised his claws to signal politely:

"I am the leader of the Black Taiguang Knocking Armor Tribe, my name is Black Jing. I only ask one question, are you sure that the zero-level source point we have found is completely ours?"

Peanut: "Confirmed!"

Black Jing: "Okay! I'll do it."

Peanut: "The share of the first-level and second-level source points is also very high. Go in and talk to President Caolong in detail."

The warrior named Black Jing stepped into the hall.

Peanut waved his claws, and a colorful energy light curtain fell, sealing the entrance and exit.

When the worm took the lead, the worms immediately became restless.

Below,

A bug politely asked: "President Peanut, how are the prices in the Amber Galaxy? How are the overall prices of energy materials and starships? Very expensive?"

Peanut explained in detail: "There are no starships for sale on the market that can be used to search for the source. If it is a large tribe or a large chamber of commerce with a population of over 10,000, you can go to visit the Lord of Manchi and have a certain chance to buy or buy on credit from him."

"If you must know the price. Then I can only give an approximate number, about four or five hundred times the normal price in the past. In the past, an ordinary survival mothership for engineering use, which was sold for 10,000 Chaos Stones, was sold here for as high as 4 million to 5 million Chaos Stones. If it is paired with a landing ship dedicated to searching for the source, the whole set will cost about seven or eight million."

Hiss~

Hiss~

Hiss~

There were gasps below.

Before coming here, I had heard some news from various channels. I knew that the prices of everything related to the search source point in the Amber Galaxy had skyrocketed, but I never expected it to be such an exaggeration.

Many Zerg forces carry large and small bags of chaos rough stones, source gems, world gems, or other precious third-level materials. The plan is to exchange "hard currency" for a suitable starship and pilot the starship to find the source...

The price of starships has increased five hundred times?

The plan fell through.

Another Zerg warrior raised his claws and asked, "What is the size of your Shuhua Merchant Guild's fleet? How many insects do you plan to recruit?"

Peanut replied vaguely: "I can only say that the scale of the fleet is beyond everyone's imagination. We are permanently stationed in the Red Star system and have been recruiting Zerg warriors to join us for a long time."

Immediately, some Zerg warriors were unhappy and asked: "How many fully equipped survival motherships do you have? How big are they? Can't we just give you an accurate number?"

Peanut replied calmly and calmly: "There is no accurate number. Our Shuhua Chamber of Commerce has the technological production capabilities and is continuously producing survival motherships. Maybe, today there are 100 ships, and tomorrow there will be 101 ships..."

"Hiss~"

"Hu~chi~"

"100 ships?"

"boast?"

"Are you scaring me?"

"..."

There was a commotion among the square warriors.

Peanut saw that a large number of teams in the square were beginning to formally discuss, and continued to shake his mental strength to greet: "Those who are willing to join the Shuhua United Fleet, send one or two leaders to discuss with President Caolong. Don't rush, don't crowd, wait in line. Team."

Various forces, large and small, gathered together and discussed in whispers. Some wanted to join, so they sent their leaders to wait at the door.

More insects are still preparing to enter the Manred star system first, and make inquiries from various sources to find out the situation here before making any plans.

Peanut stood guard at the door, maintaining order and answering all kinds of questions.

Suddenly feeling something, he raised his head and looked into the deep sky.

Deep in the darkness, a spherical starship with a diameter of four to five kilometers flashed with a white halo, slowing down and approaching.

The next moment, a beam of white light flashed across and landed vertically at the door of the branch of the Tree and Flower Merchants Association.

…

"Chief Longbai!"

Peanut greeted him respectfully.

Behind the colorful original light, in the hall, Caolong, who was busy negotiating a contract, noticed the movement, teleported and greeted warmly: "The king is here!"

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai glanced at the square and asked: "Is this the Dawn Chamber of Commerce's fleet transporting a large number of Zerg warriors?"

Caolong replied: "Yes. About 400,000 insects came this time."

Peanut said: "The fleets that usually come bring along a group of soldiers, numbering hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands. This is the first time I have seen such a large formation."

Cao Long said: "I'm hesitating whether I should take the opportunity to attract more insects. Just in time, the big boss is here, please give me the right words."

"Hiring. Anyone who meets the requirements is hired!"

Long Bai said: "I'm here to inform you that the first batch of 10 Wang Ye 07 survival motherships have been assembled. The Shuhua First Combined Fleet has been formed, led by Qing Ma and Hong Ma, and is sailing towards the Scarlet Light Star. Tie."

Long Bai asked: "Where is the White-faced God?"

Cao Long: "31 years ago, we gathered a group of warriors and set off for the Lingxiao star system."

"Thirty-one years? That'll be back soon."

Long Bai ordered: "Cao Long, you will communicate and coordinate with the White-faced God and the Black-faced God later. First, organize the first batch of 100,000 soldiers to go to the Feiguang 1 star system. The army will assemble and set off."

"OK--"

"Listen to the king's command!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

Caolong agreed.

Long Bai: "..."

What we are doing now is serious business.

Could you please be more serious?

Long Bai choked for two seconds and continued: "I was passing by with goods, so I stopped by to inform you and also stopped by to see what the situation was like. Forget it, you guys are busy. If possible, recruit more. The transport ship Mo Lan will be left to you first. Emergency. For other matters, I will communicate with Lord Manchi."

Caolong: "Understood!"

Long Bai didn't say much, and turned into a stream of light, directly crossing the defensive barrier and entering the interior of the Manred star system.

Caolong turned around and went into the Chamber of Commerce hall to continue handling business.

peanut:"……"

"President Peanut, that person just now was..."

"Light talent, light teleportation ability?"

"Observe the original energy aura, the strength is not ordinary!"

"The Ant King?"

"A very good ant king?"

Peanut answered: "That's Chief Long Bai! The first placer in the 456th Sunlight Sea Arena Battle in Sujing Battlefield, the strongest warrior in the universe, and the big boss of Shuhua Chamber of Commerce. Shuhua Chamber of Commerce is one of many large, medium and small chambers of commerce. Formed jointly, President Bai Wei of our Baiwei Chamber of Commerce is the second boss.”

"There is also a piece of confidential information that has been recently unsealed. I can reveal it to everyone. Chief Longbai possesses a Life Seed from the God Tree of Law! I won't go into more details, so you can figure it out for yourself."

"???"

"The Divine Tree of Law!"

"oh--"

"The ants favored by the true god of nature!"

"The boss behind the Shuhua United Fleet!"

"You look so majestic."

"Boss Long Bai can also control omnics?"

"Are you really building your own survival mothership?"

"Can you really afford 10 survival motherships?"

"Isn't it still right?"

“Where do you get the raw materials?”

"Exchange the Fruit of Law with the Amber Merchant Association?"

"..."

…

Zerg warriors are relatively easy to recruit.

But to recruit on a large scale, to recruit 5 million, that is not an easy task.

The original plan of Longbai was to escort the refined energy materials and transport the processed precision parts back to the Black Law.

It happened that a large number of Zerg warriors arrived, so he made some adjustments.

He said hello to the Lord of Manchi, completed the material delivery, and put the processed core parts aside for the time being.

The Molan transport ship cooperated with the White-faced God to transfer Zerg warriors on a large scale.

…

Longbai returned to the Black Law and continued to watch.

Calculating the time,

Rushed to the Feiguang One Star System.

Led by Hongfeng, the 10 Wangwu 07-type survival motherships of the Shuhua First Joint Fleet were already in place, lined up in a line, waiting at a distance of 100 million kilometers from the star system.

After waiting for more than ten years,

the Molan transport ship cooperated with the White-faced God, and 100,000 Zerg warriors arrived at the Feiguang One Star System.

Arranged to enter the life planet for a short rest.

Longbai brought white rice, green maple, red maple and other insects to formally meet the leaders of the tribes and forces, and formally organized 100,000 troops.

After more than two months of hard work, all the soldiers boarded the survival mothership and the fleet headed towards the 111th star field.

Destination: The Four Star Systems of Crimson Light

The ultra-long distance of 76,000 light years, 50 times the speed of light, and a long journey of 1,500 years. (End of this chapter)
