Astral Ant Tribe

"Your Majesty, level three source point!"

"Your Majesty! Look at me! Me! Me! Me! The fleet I command discovered it!"

"Your Majesty, and me!"

"Your Majesty, I! Your Majesty, I want to lie down!"

"I have made a meritorious service! I want a reward! I also lie down."

"..."

Several Zowangs danced and caroused around Long Bai.

…

The Shuhua United Fleet is too large, and each mothership needs to be managed by a captain and deputy captain.

The Xianglan Chamber of Commerce has strength, brains, and certain commanding abilities, but there are not enough Zerg warriors with certain management experience.

Long Bai arranged for his subordinate Prince Zuo to go out...

The fifth-generation Zuowang twins Ronghua and the four sixth-generation Zuowangs, Bi-color Kui, Bi-color Yarrow, Bi-color Qianguang, and Bi-color Celestial Insect, serve as the captain and deputy captain of the Shuhua 091 survival mothership, and at the same time command the Shuhua Tenth 100,000 soldiers of the combined fleet...

These guys are lucky!

Long Bai was ecstatic, but on the surface he was sullen, waving his tentacles and beating and scolding, "Where did you learn this bad habit? Why should you lie down? Looking for a slap!"

Long Bai asked: "Commander Baifan, what is the specific situation? Who specifically discovered it?"

Bai Fan: "The source point was discovered by a young warrior named 'Zangzhu' from the Black Taiguang Koujia tribe."

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai waved his tentacles, the silver lightning flashed, and he struck the five Zuowangs one by one again.

——Jumping so high, I thought you had found it.

——Asshole! It makes me happy in vain.

Bai Fan reported in detail: "A level 3 source point has just evolved. The force concentration is only about 3.0. It has just evolved to level 3 and continues to grow. Red Maple and Xingyunbai have brought 100 elite warriors to guard it."

"Chief Long Bai, I heard that the main fleet of our Chamber of Commerce has withdrawn to Star Area 101? Dumai, Lu Xin and the others drove a frigate to Star Area 101 to report the situation. They should be on their way now."

"The Black Taiguang Kaojia tribe comes from the mother planet. It is relatively conservative and develops slowly. There are only 218 warriors in the whole tribe. They stay together to guard the source. The other insects have come back to rest, just wait. Chief Long Bai’s instructions!”

Twin Ronghua carefully raised his paws and said: "Your Majesty, I marked the source point immediately."

Bai Fan said: "We have dispatched all frigates, notified all fleets, and notified them to return home and gather in the four crimson star systems."

Qingmae asked: "Your Majesty, Star Territory 124 is gone? Then where should we go next? Star Territory 101 to help? Star Territory 117 next door? Or Star Territory 141? I feel like there is still something going on in Star Territory 54 ah!"

Long Bai said decisively:

"Star Territory 101! Defend Star Territory 101!"

"Our main fleet in Xianglan Mountain is conducting a circular search around the 50 points that are most likely to derive third-level source points. The Shuhua United Fleet is scattered throughout the galaxy and continues to search, marking zero-level, first-level, and second-level source points. "

"Further collect data and improve the calculation accuracy of the Tabor. At the same time, we will crowd out other fleets operating in the star field."

"good!"

"Understood!"

Bai Fan and Qing Ma agreed.

Long Bai asked: "We have been working in the dark and claustrophobic deep space for more than 20,000 years. Are there any warriors who are not mentally strong enough to bear it and want to return to the living planet to rest?"

Bai Fan: "Yes?"

Qingmae: "Very rare."

Bai Fan: "It's only more than 20,000 years ago."

Qingmai: "The logistics support is sufficient, we take frequent breaks, and everyone is in good condition."

Long Bai asked again: "Are there any tribes or chambers of commerce that have harvested many sources and made a fortune but don't want to continue working hard?"

"There is no more of this."

"Your Majesty, who can be satisfied with such a thing as getting rich overnight?"

Bai Fan and Qing Ma shook their tentacles in unison.

"All right……"

Long Bai thought about it and said: "The fleet is back, Bai Fan and Qing Ma, please make a routine inquiry."

"After successfully finding the third-level source point in the No. 111 star field, there is no need to keep the information about other source points previously harvested. You can take advantage of the fleet's transition to send out teams that are unable to continue or are unwilling to continue. Return to the Lingxiao star system.”

"At the same time, notify Lu Dou and Cao Long to recruit another group and update and optimize the team."

"OK."

"clear!"

Bai Fan and Qing Ma agreed.

Long Bai followed up with instructions: "When the fleet returns, arrange for the soldiers to settle on the planet of life, rest and recuperate for three years, and then set off for Star Field 101."

"Arrange the Hongdao No. 2 survival mothership to dock at the No. 07 secondary source point in the No. 101 star field as the command headquarters of the combined fleet. Baifan, Qingmai, you will gradually move there. Then, from the nearby Scarlet Light Three Star System supply."

"clear!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will organize the transfer."

Bai Fan and Qing Ma agreed.

Long Bai greeted: "Where is the source? Twin birch, twin-color sunflower, twin-color yarrow, twin-color thousand light, twin-color celestial insect, you lead the way!"

…

…

Fifty fleets and five million insects took more than 21,000 years to find a total of 7,317 large and small source points.

The Tabor also calculated 50 possible points that could derive third-level source points. When planning the fleet route, each of the fifty fleets was assigned a point.

The fifty fleets have been circling their respective points, changing routes and searching.

The Tubo's deduction calculations are relatively accurate.

But it’s not accurate enough,

This third-level source point is located 130 light years away from the point where the Shuhua Tenth Fleet is responsible.

This gave Long Bai a big wake-up call.

The current search range of the Pandan Chamber of Commerce fleet is 100 light years...

This is a big leak! Just correct it quickly!

…

The Shuhua No. 091 survival mothership overlaps the third-level source point.

The Tupper approaches. The Zerg warriors in the starship immediately noticed and came out to greet him.

"Leader Longbai!"

"Captain Twin Ronghua!"

"Your Majesty, this is the leader of Black Thorn, do you still remember?"

"Of course! We've known each other before! Remember!"

meet and greet,

Long Bai concentrated on the feeling and asked: "The source point is still growing? Is the force concentration almost reaching 3.1?"

Hong Ma replied: "Accurately measured, the current Force concentration is 3.07 and is continuing to grow at a rate of 0.01 every 6 years. It is not yet certain what level it will eventually stabilize at."

It's been a long time since we discovered the source point, and everyone's excitement has long since faded away.

Black Jing analyzed and said: "Leader Longbai, star field 111 is close to the inner layer of the Amber Galaxy. Combining the material distribution of this star field and surrounding star fields, it is estimated that the source point here has a high probability of the Force concentration exceeding 3.5. "

"Yes--"

Long Bai said: "So I arrange for everyone to come to Star Territory 111 for development!"

Both are third-level source points,

There is a big difference in income between Force Concentration 3.1 and Force Concentration 3.9.

Developed according to the conventional star system model of the natural god system, with a force concentration of 3.1, only 36 planets can be built. Among them, the rent for a single area of ​​​​the living planet is about 800,000 to 900,000 yuan/year.

With a force concentration of 3.9, 45 planets can be built. The rent for a single area within the living planet exceeds 1.5 million per year.

After calculation, in terms of income, both are level three source points, and the force concentration of 3.9 is nearly twice that of the force concentration of 3.1.

…

While everyone was talking, the twins Ronghua got into the survival mothership, canceled the mark, and got out again.

"Your Majesty, it's okay, please!"

"..."

Long Bai waved his tentacles and the insects teleported into the main cockpit of the mothership.

Long Bai activates his ability and completes the mark.

The fourth level three source point!

"alright."

Long Bai spoke and said: "This source point is officially named the Baiwei constellation. This star field also has an official name, the Baiwei star field. In the future, it will be transformed into a regular star system, the Baiwei star system, and the territory will be open to the outside world for rent."

"Strictly abide by the contract, the Pandan Chamber of Commerce will occupy the control of Baiwei Zuo, and the Pandan Chamber of Commerce will occupy the permanent management rights of half of the planet. Leader Black Jing, you, the Black Thai Chamber of Commerce and the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce, will each occupy a quarter."

"Thank you, Chief Longbai!"

Black thorn sonorous thanks.

"Thank you, Chief Longbai!"

"Thank you, Chief Longbai!"

"..."

Later, the soldiers of the Black Taiguang Koujia tribe thanked each other one after another. They were completely reassured and couldn't conceal their excitement and joy when they received a direct affirmative answer.

A small tribe with only 218 warriors, and the permanent management rights of a quarter of a planet in a third-level source star system, can just live and eat rent in this life, and there is no way to finish it.

From then on, you will live a life of wealth and wealth and start a wealthy life.

The universe is so amazing! So wonderful!

Long Bai said: "I discussed it with Bai Fan and Qing Ma and decided to arrange for the Shuhua United Fleet to urgently go to Star Area 101 to help."

"This is the third-level source point. Hong Maple, you can choose ten warriors to stay with me and guard it. Leave a frigate."

"Red Maple, Xingyunbai, Twin Ronghua, and other warriors, you will pilot the Shuhua 091 survival mothership, return to the Crimson Light Four star system, and rendezvous with the fleet. The Tenth Fleet has almost rested. Don't stay too long, and go directly Depart for Star Territory 101."

Long Bai asked: "Leader Blackthorn, do you still want to continue to participate in the search?"

Black Jing was stunned for a moment and replied: "If Chief Longbai doesn't chase us away, we will keep following the fleet!"

"This is just the beginning."

"We must continue!"

"It would be great to find two more zero-level source points!"

"Yes."

"When it is reclaimed in the future, we will run it ourselves without having to pay rent."

"Yes. The rent for the zero-level source point is also extremely expensive."

"Build two of them myself."

"..."

The warriors of the Black Taiguang Koujia tribe echoed one after another.

All insects are the same. Once they have gained something, they only hope to gain more and greater gains. The desire deep in their hearts is like a bottomless abyss, which cannot be filled at all and cannot be stopped.

Long Bai didn't say much and simply said: "Okay, leader Blackthorn, you lead your troops and follow the mothership back to the team."

"good!"

Blackthorn agreed.

…

After simple arrangements and packing, the Shuhua 091 survival mothership set off.

Long Bai led 10 little warriors on the Tubo, leaving him to wait for the third-level source point.

By marking the connection, you can clearly feel that the intensity of the source point is increasing bit by bit.

Keep observing,

6 years later,

The force concentration increased to 3.08.

Keep watching,

Another 12 years later,

The force concentration reaches level 3.1.

Wait patiently,

Another 60 years later,

The force concentration has reached level 3.2 and is still growing steadily and slowly.

Long Bai piloted the Tubo and quickly headed to the Scarlet Star System to check the situation. The team was still gathering, resting and moving in an orderly manner.

Star Area 111 is heading to Star Area 101, a journey of 26,000 light years, 50 times the speed of light, a 520-year journey, and the starting team is still very early.

Long Bai returned to the third level source point and guarded it with peace of mind.

Another 60 years,

The force concentration exceeds 3.3, and there is no intention of stagnating.

Another 120 years,

The force concentration has exceeded the 3.5 level mark, but at the same time there are signs of slowing growth.

After waiting for 47 years,

The source point was completely stabilized, and the final force concentration was fixed at level 3.56.

A high-quality, third-level source point that can bring super high returns.

The geographical location is excellent, close to the inner ring of the Amber Galaxy. In the future, it will definitely become a popular star system where Zerg warriors gather and business flourishes.

…

The Shuhua United Fleet has already assembled, and the army is mid-voyage.

Long Bai set off leisurely and returned to Star Area 101 to join the main fleet of the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce.

The news here had long been received that the fourth level three source point had been successfully found. After obtaining the final force concentration information of the source point, there was another burst of cheers and celebrations.

The fleet made corresponding adjustments to the search mode, extending the search distance from 100 light-years to 150 light-years.

Still no gain.

Longbai only needs the third-level source point, and the fleet continues to follow the 50 points calculated by the Tubai in a circular sailing search.

The Shuhua Tenth United Fleet led by Twin Ronghua arrived first.

Long Bai personally presided over it and arranged the route.

When I finished my work, the time came to the year 78 - 459 yuan - 894.

The first Amber Galaxy Joint Conference, hosted by the Red Star System, will be held soon.

This session is very important. There are many basic systems to be announced that directly determine the management and development of the Amber Galaxy.

Directly related to the interests of all chambers of commerce.

What Long Bai is most concerned about is whether human civilization should be introduced into the technological production field of the Amber Galaxy.

If it is not introduced, will it mean that the intelligent machines under Manchi dominate the production of technology?

Civilization Pei Diernan of the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce will definitely be able to obtain the corresponding qualifications.

Will the two chambers of commerce monopolize the trade of technological creations from the source of production? The operating space is too large.

The raw energy materials produced throughout the galaxy are either sold to the Amber Chamber of Commerce or the Pandan Chamber of Commerce.

Material prices can be manipulated as desired.

Technological creations can be ordered from the Amber Chamber of Commerce or the Pandan Chamber of Commerce, and they can also be manipulated.

Lord Manchi wants to do this.

Long Bai also hopes it can be done.

But thinking rationally, this is probably not feasible.

Naturally, the True God would not agree first, and the Flame Spider Chamber of Commerce would not agree even more.

All parties must be negotiating privately.

There should be results.

Long Bai set off a little early to find out the news.

…

…

The Tabor was approaching the Mandarin star system, and a message suddenly came from the message:

"Long Bai, there is a particularly powerful battle fleet docked near the Manred star system. I sailed normally and scanned to determine the coordinates of the jump landing point, and it locked us in reverse."

"This is a Star Destroyer loaded with destruction weapons. Is the shield or jamming function activated?"

Battle fleet?

Star Destroyer?

"Leave it alone."

Long Bai: "Use the artist's armor to reserve energy and jump directly over."

"receive!"

Tabor agreed.

In the cockpit, the tentacles above the artist's head are always connected to the cockpit, receiving instructions, mobilizing energy, and injecting it into the starship.

The starship initiates a jump and docks in deep space 300 million kilometers away from the Manred star system.

Long Bai left the cabin and activated his sunburn ability to observe.

Deep in the darkness, a fleet painted in dark black lurks.

Flat-wing ship.

Sharp head, blade-like main and secondary wings.

The whole body is smooth and smooth, and the attack characteristics are fully displayed.

One large, sixteen small, a total of seventeen ships in the battle group.

The lead ship is a battleship with a length of over 100 kilometers and a wingspan of about 30 kilometers at its widest point. It is a super huge Star Destroyer, but it gives the insect an intuitive feeling of being agile and flexible.

The other sixteen ships are scattered around and should be escort warships, with a length of 10 kilometers.

Without painted markings, there is no way to see the way.

elimination analysis,

First of all, excluding the Amber Chamber of Commerce, they currently do not have the financial resources to produce such a battle fleet.

Ordinary seventh- and eighth-level chambers of commerce cannot afford to build such a battle fleet, nor will they waste resources.

That leaves only the three chambers of commerce forces that dominate the galaxy: Liming, Li Zhu, and Bai Jing.

The White Crystal Chamber of Commerce is relatively opposed to technological creations and can be excluded.

The Dawn Chamber of Commerce is the Flame Spider Chamber of Commerce, which values ​​tact in dealing with people and making money by being harmonious. Even a battleship is not designed to be so angular and sharp.

So, it can basically be determined that it is the fleet of the Lizhu Chamber of Commerce.

Stopping here must be a very high-ranking executive from the Lizhu Chamber of Commerce coming to visit Lord Manchi.

"Fancy..."

Long Bai murmured in his heart.

The Star Destroyer seemed to have its own consciousness. Octavia noticed that it was being watched and locked onto it. Something that looked like an attack weapon popped out from the top of the Star Destroyer and was aimed at this side. It meant warning, threatening, and driving away. It couldn't be clearer.

Long Bai put away his sunburn ability, and with a thought, the artist teleported out of the cabin and transformed into a half-ant artist form. At the same time, the space in front of him was turbulent, and the Tubo took back the pokeweed space.

The artist carried Long Bai, teleported in rapid succession, arrived at the star port, crossed the star port portal, and landed directly at Manchixing North District 1001 Square to make an appointment to visit.

After waiting for a while, the omnic in the form of a flame spider led the way into the palace.

…

"Lord Manchi!"

"Chief Longbai, I was just thinking about how to find you...I haven't seen you for nearly ten thousand years. How is it? How was the harvest?"

"There's something gained."

Long Bai didn't say much nonsense, the space in front of him rippled slightly, and a metal box filled with a compass of knowledge floated out and floated towards Lord Manchi.

"A newly discovered third-level source point is officially named Baiwei constellation, Baiwei star system, and Baiwei star field. The knowledge compass records the coordinate information of all the source points discovered by the fleet we organized in the Baiwei star field."

"!!!"

"If I remember correctly, this is the third level three source point you have found?"

"One, two can be said to be luck. Over and over again, then it must have a skill that other insects cannot match."

"Awesome! Really awesome!"

Master Manchi was shocked, opened the metal box, took out the knowledge compass and read it quickly. Subconsciously, his antennae trembled, and praised: "The force concentration is 3.56, and the location is also excellent! It is currently one of the best source points in the Amber Galaxy. "

Long Bai was not modest and solemnly moved his tentacles and said: "Indeed. A level three source point that is excellent in all aspects!"

Lord Manchi: "Congratulations! Congratulations."

Lord Manchi sighed: "I think those big chambers of commerce, with fleets of hundreds of thousands or millions of insects, haven't gained as much as you."

Long Bai: "I used the materials produced by the Black Law to build a mothership and organized a fleet of five million insects. In terms of insect population, I have an absolute advantage."

"Too……"

"But I didn't expect at first that you built so many survival motherships and you didn't sell them..."

Lord Manchi put away the knowledge compass and handed it to the omnic next to him. At the same time, he ordered: "Tang Lingyi, go and ask Lord Baba to come over."

After giving the instructions, he turned around and changed the subject: "Chief Longbai, you are here just in time. I also have something to do here. I want to let you know in advance and ask for your opinion."

Long Bai: "Master Manchi, you tell me."

Master Manchi said: "The information from Zhao Yebai said that under your command, the 'Pedilnan Civilization' of Star Shenao is recovering. Are they building a technological city and establishing a rudimentary technological industry line?"

Long Bai said truthfully: "Calculating the time, it should have started to develop. I haven't returned to the Lingxiao star system for a long time, and the specific situation is not very clear."

Lord Manchi choked for a moment and said: "I tried it, but the way to monopolize the science and technology industry in the Amber Galaxy does not work. In fact, you and I can only engage in production, and can no longer get involved in the trade of technological creations and raw energy materials."

"After negotiation, it is necessary to introduce at least four chambers of commerce with technological production capabilities to consult the opinions of the tree-shaped clone of the True God of Nature. The quota has been determined. One is the Lizhu Chamber of Commerce, and the omnipotent team under the leadership of Baba has settled in."

"The production work in the science and technology field in the Amber Galaxy is undertaken by the Amber Chamber of Commerce, the Lizhu Chamber of Commerce, and your Pandan Chamber of Commerce."

"According to the rules, technological artifacts for different purposes need to pay 20% to 200% tax, which will be automatically deducted by the Star Network system during the transaction. All technological products, except for motherships and engineering ships used in engineering construction, are tax-free. Pay taxes.”

"In addition, there are three other merchant alliances of the human race. The Amber Galaxy resolutely does not allow humans to set foot in it, and arranges them in the Parchment star field 6 million light-years away. It is regarded as foreign trade, and tariffs are charged. But when calculating tariffs, transportation costs must be considered. Therefore, when the technological creations of human civilization are sent to the Amber Galaxy, the cost is basically the same as ours.”

Lord Manchi finished speaking in one breath.

Long Bai solemnly moved his tentacles and said: "I understand! Thank you Lord Manchi for your support!"

Manchi dominates and swings his claws.

Long Bai asked: "Li Zhu Merchant Guild Omnic Machine? Barba Master?"

Master Manchi said: "When I was young, I followed Master Barba to systematically learn knowledge in the field of science and technology, and learned advanced fighting skills. Half of my achievements today are due to it. It can be regarded as my enlightenment teacher."

"In the field of technological production, if we have to compete, it will mainly be with the human race... Chief Longbai, do you understand what I mean?"

"clear!"

Long Bai asked: "Fighting skills? Is Lord Barba a bug who specializes in fighting? Does he also have the ability to control omnics?"

"..."

Lord Manchi raised his paw and pointed outside the palace.

A red stream of light arced across the sky and rushed straight into the palace.

A sharp and blazing force breath rushed towards the Manchi Lord.

Lord Manchi swerved away and jumped off the throne.

A red sword-shaped object, more than three meters long and sharp, was suspended above the throne.

"???"

Long Bai jumped up in shock. (End of chapter)
