Astral Ant Tribe

Lingxiao star system, Pedirnan star.

Strong winds, sandstorms, flying rocks, fire and thunder, and extremely harsh surface environment are not suitable for survival and production work.

The Pedirnan civilization of Star Sinnoh dug caves underground and built settlement cities.

Metal-based elemental lifeforms mainly obtain energy by absorbing geothermal heat. Secondly, they consume ores rich in high-energy metals to obtain fission heat energy. They also absorb various metals to maintain their own metabolism.

A group of people who are very resistant to hunger. Once they are full, they will not need to eat for tens or hundreds of years.

…

"Big Boss Long Bai!"

The little flame spider named Yuan Zang was lying alone at the entrance to the dungeon. Seeing Long Bai suddenly appear through the space, he was instinctively startled and jumped up.

"Um--"

Long Bai responded by tapping his tentacles and asked: "Yuanzong, are you guarding it alone? Where is Xingshenao?"

Yuan Zang: "No insect dares to cause trouble in Big Boss Longbai's territory. I'm guarding the entrance to welcome visitors."

Yuan Zang: "Xingshenao is dormant and meditating. I informed it."

With a clicking sound, the metal door disguised as a rock wall moved up and down.

"Boss Long Bai, please!"

Go down the passage,

Entering a spacious square with a diameter of more than a thousand meters and a height of about 300 meters, super reinforced with raw metal.

Hundreds of Arcane warriors below the Three Mark Realm practice their abilities here.

Many lively little soldiers came over and asked, "Who is Yuan Zong?"

"This is Chief Long Bai~!"

"Chief Longbai, this is the sixth generation, Su Hao, and this one is Su Hao. They were both conceived at the same time."

"This is the seventh generation, Chen Dieyi..."

Yuan Zong led the way, introducing people as he walked.

Crossing the square and walking through a passage,

It is another square with the same standard, and it is also a place for young warriors to exercise their abilities.

At the same time, Xing Shennao led Yuan Zhen, Yuan Ling and a large group of spiders to come forward.

"Big Boss Long Bai!"

"Hello boss!"

"Thank you boss."

"..."

meet and greet,

Xing Shennao asked: "Boss Long Bai, I heard from the second boss Ju Bai that the fourth level three source point was successfully found in star field 111?"

Long Bai: "Yes. Baiwei constellation, Baiwei star field."

All the 'little spiders' who were training in the square gathered around. In fact, they are not small at all. They have evolved to the Mountain Lord level and their size has increased dramatically. Most of them are 'big spiders' with a span of more than four meters. At a glance, they are a large area of ​​silvery gray.

Long Bai waved his tentacles and asked, "Xingshenao, which generation is this? There don't seem to be many ethnic groups."

Xingshenao replied: "It is currently the tenth generation, and the eleventh generation is being cultivated."

Star Shenao reported in detail: "To build a zero-level arcane vein in the southern star of Pedil, it will take 3600 to 4000 years for the mineral deposits to grow into materials. Moreover, the coverage of the Palun Scepter energy field is limited. According to the optimal layout, A maximum of 100,000 'metal embryos' can be covered at one time."

"I fixed a generation period of 600 years, and the number of austenites that can be successfully hatched in each generation ranges from 3,000 to 3,300. Currently, the total size of the population is 22,141."

"oh--"

Long Bai tapped his tentacles, looked at Yuan Ling, then looked at Yuan Zhen, and asked: "Where is the evolutionary level?"

Xing Shenao: "Yuan Ling successfully awakened the space talent, and I arranged for it to meditate properly to strengthen the space system. And since the space system does not have any auxiliary way to accelerate growth, Yuan Ling evolved a little slower, only the Nine Marks realm."

"We are all from the first generation. Yuan Zhen, Yuan Zong, Yuan Qi, etc. have not been able to awaken their space talents. The metal system and soul system have been strengthened simultaneously. We have a set of mature and cheap technological equipment that can assist in gathering and converting original energy, so we have grown and evolved a little. Come on, they are all in the half-star realm now.”

"There are 147 second-generation warriors, 44 of whom have successfully awakened their space talents and are currently in the Mark Realm. The other 103 warriors who failed to awaken their space talents have evolved to the Half-Star Realm."

"There are 315 people in the third generation, 117 of whom have successfully awakened their space talents. They are all currently in the Mark Realm."

"Four generations later, they are all at the king level and below."

"Currently, I am also focusing on improving my space system capabilities, so my evolutionary level is stagnant at the half-star realm."

Xing Shennao gave a general introduction, paused, and continued: "In the field of science and technology, we also have a complete system of education, practice, and professional division of labor. Below the king level, the focus is on knowledge learning and proper training of abilities; in the scar realm stage, Focus on ability training, and start to work in the semi-star realm.”

Xingshenno: "At present, the number of engineers and technicians who can participate in the work is still relatively small. They mainly build infrastructure equipment."

"I understand—"

Long Bai asked: "Are the raw materials enough?"

Xing Shen Ao said: "At present, the leader of Jubai is mainly helping to purchase zero-level, first-level and second-level raw metal materials. Some of them are used for construction of equipment and factories, and some are used for experiments and practical exercises. It is basically enough."

"We ourselves have also constructed a large number of zero-level, first-level, and second-level mineral veins on Pedirnan Star, but it will take a certain amount of time to grow into materials. By then, there will be no material problem."

Xingshenao asked: "Boss Long Bai, Black Law, are the secondary raw materials for building the survival mothership about to be produced?"

Long Bai: "It's still early, don't be in a hurry."

Xingshenao asked: "When the time comes, will the factory be built here? Or in the Black Law?"

"Inside the Black Law!"

Long Bai said: "My idea is that the Peidiernan Star here will serve as a temporary base for cultivating austenites and reviving Peidiernan civilization."

"We can arrange for some of the 'austenites' that have evolved above the half-star realm to transfer to the Black Law, either to study or to evolve and grow. First, we will build the relevant equipment and factories for producing the core components of the survival mothership in the Black Law."

"This matter is not urgent. President Bai Wei's fleet will arrive in 16,000 years. You can just make preparations for the start of work before then."

"Okay!"

Xingshen'ao agreed and promised: "There is plenty of time, and we will definitely be ready!"

Long Bai nodded with satisfaction, activated the ability of the tree flower heart realm, and wrote the relevant decision-making content of the first Amber Galaxy Joint Conference that he had just attended into Xingshen'ao's soul consciousness.

"..."

Xingshen'ao read it, and his eight black eyes flashed slightly, and it was difficult to comment.

There are two things that are closely related to Xingshen'ao:

First, Xianglan Chamber of Commerce has officially obtained the production and manufacturing qualifications for all categories of products in the field of science and technology in the Amber Galaxy.

This means that Xingshen Ao and its Peidiernan civilization have a formal job.

The second rule is that the Amber Galaxy does not allow aliens to move around freely.

This is not so friendly to Xingshen Ao...

Longbai explained: "The main purpose of the Manchi Lord doing this is to exclude human civilization. The reproduction and production capacity of the human race is too strong. Avoid competing with humans. At present, it is half successful."

Longbai asked: "Xingshen Ao, you don't seem to have awakened the Star Network account?"

"No..."

Xingshen Ao: "However, through the 'Star Network Fruit', I also gained this ability."

Longbai asked: "What about the Austenite?"

Xingshen Ao: "I can't awaken this kind of inherited ability, so they definitely can't awaken."

Longbai: "Then use the 'Star Network Fruit' to open a Star Network account, directly join the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce, and become a member of the Chamber of Commerce. Xingshen Ao, you will be promoted to level 19, receive 100 million Chamber of Commerce shares, and be responsible for Served as deputy leader, in charge of Pei Diernan civilization, responsible for production work in the field of science and technology. Other austenites, normally joined the job, starting from level 1 temporary employment, normally accumulated Chamber of Commerce contribution points, and upgraded step by step. "

Long Bai asked: "I remember that after the austenites evolved to the half-star realm, they needed to eat various energy metals, mainly "arcanite", to help strengthen their bodies during the evolution and growth process? "

Star God Ao said: "Yes. Intake of energy metals helps to strengthen the body, improve abilities, and accelerate evolution and growth."

Long Bai asked: "After evolving to the sustenance realm, you can also use world gems and chaos ore to help accelerate growth and evolution, right?"

Star God Ao: "Yes."

Long Bai: "That means that a lot of resources are also needed in the process of austenite growth and evolution. Then, all austenites, like Zerg warriors, , and receive salary through work. "

Xingshen Ao: "Understood, boss!"

Longbai pondered for a moment, carefully considered his words, and said: "This time I met with Lord Manchi and Lord Baba, and reached two agreements in private. The first is that the semi-god technology of the Vafa civilization will no longer spread to the outside world; the second is the mutual exchange of scientific research results, which roughly means that based on the semi-god-level technology of the Vafa civilization, continue to explore upward, communicate with each other in a timely manner, and share any results with each other. "

Longbai asked: "Xingshen Ao, do you think it is necessary to really invest energy and financial resources to build a scientific research base for research and development?"

Xingshen Ao: "..."

Xingshen Ao thought for a long time and asked: "Boss Longbai, have you seen that kind of original zero-level technological civilization?"

Longbai shook his tentacles, "Of course not. "

Xingshen Ao Dao: "If there is no external force, a civilization develops from zero. They cannot imagine or understand what a first-level technological civilization looks like. It is almost impossible to break through on their own."

"Of course, it is not absolute. A very small number of intelligent races can complete the leap from zero to one."

"Zero-level technological civilization is 'primitive civilization' and 'terrestrial civilization'. First, second, and third-level technological civilizations are cosmic civilizations. Fourth-level technological civilization is a god-level civilization."

"The difficulty of a third-level technological civilization breaking through a fourth-level god-level technological civilization is far greater than the breakthrough from zero to one. In the last cosmic era, there was only one god-level technological civilization in the entire universe, which is the Eternal Star Civilization that everyone knows."

"For many races, the characteristics of life determine that they cannot complete the breakthrough, and the racial bloodline does not support the breakthrough. For example, intelligent machines, such as the human race, and for example, my Pei Diernan civilization."

"Intelligent machines have congenital defects and lack imagination and creativity. They are only good at large-scale replication and manufacturing based on existing scientific theories and technologies, and are not suitable for research and development and innovation. "

"Austenites are metallic elemental life forms, slightly better than intelligent machines, but not much better."

Longbai: "..."

Longbai: "I understand. You mean, not only the Peidiernan civilization is not good, but also the Manchi Lord and the Baba Lord. All the technological races that are now dependent on the Shenshu civilization are not good."

"Yes--"

Xingshenao: "Of course, it is not absolute. After all, they are all independent life individuals, and occasionally there may be one or two talented exceptions in the field of scientific research. Organize, invest resources and funds, build a scientific research base, and do it. It will be okay, and there will be some gains.

However, Big Boss Long Bai, if you expect that these three ethnic groups, Austenitic, Human, and Omnic, will make major breakthroughs and complete the breakthrough from the third-level technological civilization to the god-level technological civilization, you are bound to be disappointed. "

Long Bai: "..."

Manchi's mastery of evolving a true god requires god-level technology. According to Xingshenao, wouldn't it mean that it is destined to fail?

Long Bai drooped his tentacles, thought for a moment, and said: "Xingshenao, you should put more thought into selecting those austenites with scientific research talents and give them the best education and growth environment. Build a scientific research base, Do it and give them three times their basic salary.”

"no problem!"

Xingshenao's spiritual power spread out and scanned, calling: "Kong Shannai, come here."

The densely packed group of spiders made way for a path, and a king-level evolutionary level 'little flame spider' ran forward.

Looking at the shy and introverted Austeni, he felt a little nervous and timidly said, "I've met the boss Long Bai~"

Xingshenao explained: "The fifth generation, Kongshan Nai, has so far given birth to such an Austenite who is talented in the field of scientific research."

"oh--"

"Hello, Kong Shannai, don't be formal."

Long Bai clicked his tentacles and agreed.

His thoughts were racing and he was calculating silently.

It takes more than 20,000 austenites to produce just one person. The probability is one in 20,000?

Xingshenao cultivates an average of 5 austenites every year...

According to Hefa, the ‘scientists’ of the Eternal Stars Civilization form independent research and development teams based on hundreds of millions.

Regardless of individual talent and ability in research and development, in terms of quantity alone, it would take 400 billion years to cultivate 100 million austenites who are good at scientific research? Ten cosmic epochs have passed.

For this reason alone, the Austenite ethnic group in Star Sinnoh was destined not to have the ability to explore god-level technological civilization.

Xingshen Ao said: "We can arrange for Kong Shannai to establish a 'scientific research department' first, and then gradually expand the team after the organization is established."

"…Good idea."

Long Bai silently moved his tentacles in agreement.

Xingshenao suggested: "Boss Long Bai, the best location for the scientific research base must be the Heifahao space. The Blackfahao can provide the most comprehensive and efficient assistance."

Long Bai: "That's what I mean too, build a scientific research base inside the Black Law!"

"Okay, let's finish talking about the business."

Long Bai greeted: "Let's go, Xingshenao, take me to visit your settlement city."

…

The settlement cities of Pedirnan Civilization were dug into underground caves one after another, with a width of just over 1,000 meters, a length of more than 3,000 meters, and a height of about 600 meters.

On the metal walls of the cave, there are large and small oblate holes scattered in a disorderly manner. Inside are living nests. Austenite still retains the habit of underground cave dwellings.

The buildings used for work, study, and production are all disguised as natural stone pillars, which not only serve as buildings, but also support the open space of the cave.

Many places on the ground and cave ceiling are also deliberately decorated to look like uneven natural stone caves.

Only a few winding, accessible 'dirt roads' remain.

Star Sinnoh's aesthetic style leaves Chong speechless and unable to complain.

What you learn is the knowledge of the first, second and third level scientific and technological civilization, and what you do is the production work of the first, second and third level scientific and technological civilization.

At first glance, I thought I had broken into the territory of some barbaric primitive civilization.

…

After Long Bai learned in detail about the recovery status of the Pedernan civilization, he returned to Fanglan Star for a brief inspection, and then went to Citistar to visit the Citizen Sacred Tree, say hello, and hurriedly set off to the Tree Flower Star Territory, the Black Law No. .

Inform Heifa and Heiti about the decision-making content of the first Amber Galaxy Joint Meeting, and inform them that Austenite under Star God's Ao will enter Heifa's space to build a technological city.

Instruct Heifa and Heiti to prepare in advance.

Then he returned to Star Territory 101 and took charge personally, commanding both the Pandan Chamber of Commerce Fleet and the Shuhua United Fleet.

Not surprisingly,

With the addition of 5 million Zerg warriors and 50 huge fleets with unified standards, uniform painting, and uniform logos, gradually, those fleets wandering around the 101st star field felt the pressure and voluntarily withdrew.

drove away other fleets,

The Pandan Chamber of Commerce fleet expanded its sailing range around 50 points with a high probability of deriving third-level source points. Under the guidance of Yu Chong, it also participated in the search for zero-level and first-level source points.

Forming an invisible cooperation with the Shuhua United Fleet.

The database of Tabor quickly became full, and the source point coordinate information collected reached 6,000, 7,000, 8,000...

The calculation results of the deduction are becoming more and more accurate, and the points that may derive third-level source points are gradually reduced from 50 to 45, to 40, to 35...

Time flies,

Ten thousand years have passed,

The total number of source point coordinate information collected in Star Domain 101 exceeds 10,000, and the number of possible third-level source points has been reduced to 30.

Compression cannot continue.

Over at the Amber Chamber of Commerce, Master Zhao Yebai personally came over and asked when he would organize forces to develop Qingqian Liuzuo according to the development plan.

Long Bai temporarily stalled.

Another six thousand years,

The Tabor database has more than 13,000 source point coordinate information, including as many as 8 secondary source points. I am afraid that all the secondary source points that have been born in Star Domain 101 have been uncovered.

at the same time,

Over on the Black Law, the cultivation of secondary materials has been completed, and the Peidiernan civilization under the command of Xingshenao has completed the construction of the science and technology city and started the large-scale production of the second batch of survival motherships and landing ships.

Caolong and Yudou are stationed in the Manchi star system and have started the second batch of recruitment.

Calculating the time, the fleet led by Bai Wei will also arrive soon.

Longbai ordered the Xianglanshan Chamber of Commerce fleet to change the search mode again, around the fixed 30 points, and search in a high-frequency cycle.

Summon the Shuhua Joint Fleet to assemble and hold a meeting. (End of this chapter)
