Chapter 1206 - 753: Trust in Chairman White Ivy's Business Talent

Dragon Cypress diligently nurtured Specialized Blue Soldiers, annually increasing their numbers to surpass 400,000, 500,000, 600,000...

Daily water production exceeded 200 cubic kilometers.

The tropical ecological base, with a side length of 100 kilometers and an area of 26,000 square kilometers, had a total water demand both underground, on the surface, and in the air that did not exceed 20,000 cubic kilometers.

At the current rate of water making, an ecological base could be filled in approximately 100 days.

Dragon Cypress added 30,000 Specialized Worker Ants and 30,000 Specialized Mountain Ants, handing command to Assistant King.

However,

the combined efforts of Xianglan Mountain and Huagi Mountain required at least 2 years to complete the reclamation work for one ecological base.

The rate of water production exceeded the demand, increasing with the ongoing growth of Specialized Blue Soldiers.

The excess water transformed into clouds and vapor, flowing through the base station's Primordial Energy Barrier to surrounding undeveloped ecological bases.

Year after year,

the expansive area of 6.578 million square kilometers covered by 253 ecological base stations became inundated, causing water vapor to begin escaping beyond the ecological base's range.

Outside the ecological base was an extremely arid environment with two to three hundred degrees temperature, battered by fierce winds and sandstorms.

The escaping water vapor instantly vanished.

It did not disappear but was diluted rapidly by the vast environment to an imperceptible level.

…

…

Time flew by,

the number of transformed and constructed ecological bases surpassed 30, 40, 50, 60...

The Insect Clan gained an additional task: plant iteration.

Dragon Cypress, Ink Orchid, Blue Catalpa, Woodberry, Pueraria, along with Assistant King Thorn Cypress and Rainbow Light, each mastered a Life System Ability: Life Tide.

Spiritual power spread, vitality dispersed and contracted, instantly withdrawing all life force within the area.

Dragon Cypress was the most powerful, turning a 12-kilometer radius into a dead zone with one ability.

The withdrawn life force could be condensed into tangible Crystal Beads and, when watered, promote plants to flourish and grow.

Unfortunately, this ability was a mix of Multiple Systems and could not be inherited by the ant colony.

Dragon Cypress led the team personally,

starting in zone 1001, destroyed the established rainforest areas patch by patch.

For each zone, destroying 50% and then every six years destroying the other 50%...

The animals and plants that died from drained vitality decayed rapidly under the erosion of wind and rain, turning into nutrients.

New life quickly filled the void, growing and thriving.

With a six-year cycle, new and old life alternated in reincarnation, accumulating layers of life remnants.

The carbon dioxide levels in the air were slowly decreasing.

…

…

[Time: 78th Era - 139th Origin - 623rd Year]

After six hundred years,

the number of Specialized Blue Soldiers surpassed three million.

Simultaneously, all 253 ecological bases were remodeled and completed.

Suddenly, one day,

late at night,

Dragon Cypress was hibernating and resting in the Green Torreya Mountain Ant Nest, recovering Primordial Energy, when the spiritual call of Holm Oak Great Leader came from afar:

"Dragon Cypress Ant King!"

"Dragon Cypress Ant King, wake up, the ecological base station you ordered has arrived."

"..."

Dragon Cypress awoke from hibernation, sweeping his spiritual power across.

In zone 1001 square, a Star Spider over thirty meters in size was parked, piloted by the familiar Flame Spider Warrior known as 'Chairman Blackberry'.

As agreed, Snakebark Maple, Red Moonseed, and Tie Bush escorted Round Cypress here to report on work.

Ivy also came along.

The Holm Oak Great Leader was there...

Wasn't the Holm Oak Great Leader resting in the middle of the night?

This guy truly was just a Leader, operating at the highest Evolution Level in the Planet Realm with formidable strength, but scarcely doing any work.

Simply gave a few instructions to arrange tasks for his warriors and was done.

Roaming here and there every day, left look, right look, standing apart from the busy figures of others.

"...Excellent."

Dragon Cypress responded with vibrating spiritual power and hurriedly ran out of the nest; his carapace illuminated with Wind and Thunder Abilities as he flashed rapidly towards the plaza.

"Dragon Cypress Ant King!"

"Great King!"

"Dragon Cypress Ant King, I came to help!"

Round Cypress, Snakebark Maple, Red Moonseed, and Ivy called out.

"Great King——"

Tie Bush, out of habit, stumbled a beat behind, asking: "Great King, how are the circumstances?"

"All is well. Everything is proceeding steadily as planned."

Dragon Cypress explained: "The range covered by ecological base stations is essentially stable. Outside the ecological base station areas, the planet's high temperatures cause vapor to evaporate and float in the upper atmosphere. The vapor blocks star radiation reaching the planet while also isolating the planet's internal heat from radiating outward. Naturally, the planet's temperature will not drop; intervention from the Insect Clan Warrior's abilities is needed."

Dragon Cypress briefly explained the situation, then looked towards Round Cypress.

Round Cypress immediately reported: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, as per your request, we've procured 220 sets of ecological base stations. Three 1-1 type Star Spiders. Chairman Blackberry assisted in delivering them, all at once. Additionally, I used Shanglu Space to send over one hundred million Primordial Crystals in stock."

"Excellent——"

"The planetary body underfoot is called 'Stone Orchid Star', the next planet to be cultivated is named 'Cold Orchid Star'. Retain thirty million Primordial Crystals at Stone Orchid Star; send the remainder to Cold Orchid Star."

Dragon Cypress gestured with his tentacle towards a direction, saying: "Over there! Round Cypress, you move them first."

"Got it!"

Round Cypress, on his forehead, with Shanglu Divine Pattern shining, caused mountains of stone slabs to fall out, saying: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, these are the receipts and expenditures of our Xianglan Mountain Territory and commercial trade over the last 600 years."

"Good. Good. Good. I'll take a look when I have time."

Dragon Cypress's forehead Divine Mark flickered; he gathered the items swiftly, waving his tentacle to signal Round Cypress to continue his work.

Then he pointed with his tentacle and instructed: "Red Moonseed, make haste: notify Ink Orchid, Ghost Fan, Starry Cloud Cypress, and Areca to come over, have them escort Round Cypress back to Sheep Hoof Armor Star System."

"Alright——"

Red Moonseed soared into the air, its Soul-Setting Ability expanded to scan, turned into a red shadow and vanished.

Dragon Cypress leaned forward inside the Star Spider, saying: "Captain Blackberry, the First Level Star Spider can unload; please deliver the ecological base stations to 'Cold Orchid Star' for unloading."
