After observing for a while, Chen Wangping discovered that the two humanoid creatures played a very important role.

They actually produce red fire ants.

They took out various kinds of flesh and blood from the space device and ate them. In just a few seconds, many small red fire ants jumped out from under their cloaks and ran to the nearby ore to be exposed to radiation.

After observing the situation, Chen Wangping marked these people, then retreated to his base and placed many radars and machine gun walls nearby.

After making preparations, he returned to the base, opened the technology tree, looked at it for a while, and decided to upgrade the production technology first to see what was available.

Energy Technology's nuclear reactor has not yet been used to collect uranium, so it's still possible to wait for two more days.

He selected production technology and upgraded directly.

One thousand secondary mechanical crystals instantly transformed into energy and were continuously injected into the production technology of the technology tree.

Almost instantly, the shadow of a huge monster gradually rose from the bottom. Its slender shape, towering head, and four thrusters were very conspicuous.

[Congratulations on successfully upgrading your top production technology]

You have unlocked the production series [Launch Vehicle Blueprint], [Rocket Controller Blueprint], and [Rocket Component Blueprint]

[Note: Produce rockets as soon as possible, they will help you change the situation]

Chen Wangping looked at the shadow in confusion, feeling a little puzzled.

Rockets? Change the situation?

Could it be that he is going to develop in the interstellar space?

Something is wrong.

Moreover, this type of rocket doesn't look like an attack type. You can't just launch it to hit bugs, right?

He first opened the rocket blueprint and took a look:

【Launch vehicle】

【Purpose: transporting large amounts of materials and personnel】

Materials: Rocket Components x 100

[Building method: Rocket assembly platform]

[Note: The launch vehicle can reach the atmosphere]

Rocket Components

【Use: Essential materials for building rockets】

Materials: Lightweight Frame x 10, Rocket Controller x 10, Rocket Fuel x 10

[Crafting method: manufacturing table]

[Note: Just place the rocket components on the rocket assembly platform]

Rocket Controller

【Application: Rocket control system components】

Materials: Processor x 1, Speed ​​​​plug-in/energy saving plug-in x 1

【Note: The most advanced control element】

After looking at the drawings, Chen Wangping took a breath.

Building this rocket is too resource-intensive. He roughly estimated that it would require at least hundreds of thousands of parts of crude oil and one hundred thousand parts of iron ore and copper ore, and even tens of thousands of parts of water and coal.

He looked around and realized that if he dug it out, he would have to empty the entire mine near Firebird City before he could barely produce it.

What is the use of this thing?

Chen Wangping looked at the manufacturing order of the manufacturing platform and made some adjustments.

Now that we have a rocket controller, we can build three atomic rockets and see them go.

He put the materials in and clicked on the blueprint to start crafting.

[Atomic rocket is being built, estimated to take twelve hours]

After arranging this, he planned to concentrate on building the secondary mechanical crystal first, and then build the nuclear reactor in the next few days. He would then build the rocket assembly platform and rocket components, and build the carrier rocket as soon as possible.

After finishing all these, Chen Wangping rushed back to the place where the red fire ants were hatching, and found that the humanoid creatures had left, leaving only a large number of red fire ants hatching.

"Not going to hatch anymore? Looks like we'll have to use these fire ants."

Chen Wangping returned to Firebird City, ready to investigate what the Insect God Cult was planning to do.

As soon as he walked near the City Lord's Mansion, he found that the person he had marked earlier was shown on the radar and was staying with the abnormal person composed of many small red dots when he entered the city.

Oh, that's interesting.

Chen Wangping moved closer and found that the two men were chatting in a private room of a restaurant.

After entering, he also got a private room and ordered a few dishes at random. While the waiter was out, he took out a grilled blind sea bass and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

Before he finished eating, the waiter came back and said, "Sir, this steamed sea bass is sold out. Would you like to try another one?" After saying that, the waiter looked up and saw Chen Wangping eating the sea bass. He was stunned for a moment and turned around and said, "Excuse me."

Chen Wangping was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He ate the blind perch in order to enhance his hearing. After eating, he concentrated on listening.

"Wasp Guardian, how's the situation over there? Have you found out Tang Xihe's travel plans? These enhanced red fire ants have a short lifespan. If we don't use them, they'll all die in five days. It's best to use them as soon as possible."

"Buzz buzz, Ant Guardian, I've investigated the situation very well. Tang Xihe has been waiting for Chen Wangping to come. She's been staying at the City Lord's Mansion and won't leave even after hearing someone was injured. How about this? I'll create some big situations tomorrow and see if I can lure her out."

"We have to hurry. I've already deployed 100,000 red fire ants near the mine. Even if Tang Dongfang comes here on his own, he won't be able to escape."

"Don't worry, we'll meet again tomorrow to discuss in detail."

After hearing this, Chen Wangping understood. He finished his meal and waited until it was completely dark before returning to the City Lord's Mansion.

After entering, he saw Tang Xihe waiting for him in the study. She had changed into new clothes and looked very beautiful.

As soon as he saw him, Tang Xihe said happily: "Brother Ping, did you go to the base? You are covered in dust, go take a shower."

Chen Wangping waved his hand and leaned close to Tang Xihe's ear, saying, "I'll just say a few words and then I'll leave. There's a strong man in your purchasing department with a scar on his right hand. He's a guardian sent by the Bee Elder of the Insect God Cult. He's called the Wasp Guardian. I suspect he's full of wasps, just wearing human skin."

Tang Xihe was surprised and asked, "Protector? Then we get rid of him now?"

Chen Wangping shook his head and said, "No, we're not going to get rid of him, but use him. The ant elders of the Insect God Cult have hatched many powerful red fire ants over at the mine, but these red fire ants have a short lifespan, and they're anxious to take action. Tomorrow, the wasp guardians will create something to lure you towards the mine. You just agree to it and rush over alone. Once you're near the mine, go to the mine on the right side of the base by yourself. I'll leave a passage for you. You can go directly into the base and wait. I'll take care of the red fire ants and the Insect God Cult."

Tang Xihe nodded. "Okay, then I'll definitely lure them over there tomorrow. You have to be careful. Do you need my help firing the cannon?"

Chen Wangping waved his hand and said, "No need. I have more powerful weapons now. It's enough for you to get into the base as soon as possible. If you encounter red fire ants on the way, don't fight them."
