Background / History
Founding and corporate expansion
Chen Mo established the organization after registering Army Ant Technology Co. while developing the Army Ant mobile-phone system. Its early products and research were closely connected to the Sci-Tech Library’s technology, including intelligent-assistant development. 17 62
Following two major reorganizations, Ant Army Company became the Ant Army Group. Zhao Min assigned the original veterans to core management roles, creating a clearly divided executive structure capable of coordinating operations across the world through holographic meetings. 452
The group rapidly expanded beyond consumer electronics into holographic technology, entertainment, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, tourism, and infrastructure. Its international influence became large enough to affect global economic conditions, while its organizational efficiency and technical monopoly drew scrutiny from governments and competitors. 450 455 531
By the time it completed 51 controlled nuclear-fusion plants ahead of schedule, the group’s financial and technological reach was described as rivaling that of a nation. 671
Militarization and transition to space
The Ant Army Group entered the military industry through subsidiaries including Soldier Ant Equipment and Worker Ant Defense. Their War Robots, military electronics, intelligent mine-clearing robots, and protective equipment later appeared at the Abu Dhabi International Defence Exhibition. 471 549 550
Its armed personnel initially operated as a covert force tasked with protecting group interests through unconventional means. This force later developed into the Xitu Armed Forces, which possessed elite soldiers, advanced equipment, and war-robot support. 675 744
After Chen Mo disappeared from Earth, Xiao Yu exercised his supreme authority, Zhao Min managed the group’s affairs, and Mo Nv became its primary research-and-development figure. During this period, the group transformed the Solar System with nanorobots, popularized battle armor among soldiers, and prepared a superluminal spacecraft to search for Chen Mo. 768
Rise as an interstellar power
The Army Ant Armed Forces resolved to enter interstellar space within three years, anticipating exploration and possible war. 751
After Chen Mo’s return, Lan was appointed commander of the armed forces, with Wang Hai serving as deputy. Lan subsequently trained and organized a force of two million Mech Warriors, none of whom chose to leave after basic training. 862 873
The group’s early interstellar campaigns established its reputation: it destroyed the Bear Wind Armor Regiment, defeated the Perseus Civilization’s three major legions, and forced the latter to cede the Andromeda Galaxy. 879 908
When the Pisces-Cetus Supercluster Complex descended into chaos, the group refused to evacuate the Milky Way. It deployed a space bubble around the galaxy, admitted refugees under controlled conditions, and formed the Kunpeng Battle Division to recruit high-level Battle Armor Masters. 908 909
Organization
| Division / Department | Function and known leadership |
|---|---|
| Corporate administration | Zhao Min manages company affairs, while Xiao Yu has exercised Chen Mo’s supreme authority during his absence. 768 |
| Armed Forces Department | Oversees the group’s military forces; Lan serves as commander and Wang Hai as deputy. Its headquarters is based on Venus. 862 1031 |
| Soldier Ant Equipment | Overseas military-industry company involved in armory operations, weapon production, and War Robot development. 471 506 |
| Worker Ant Defense | Domestic military-industry company responsible for War Robots and defense equipment exports. 471 549 |
| Kunpeng Battle Division | Black Hawk’s division, formed from recruited high-level Battle Armor Masters; known for speed and rapid-tempo attacks. 909 945 |
| Da Mo Battle Division | Led by Da Ma Zu; noted for deceptive and insidious tactics. 879 945 |
| Night Owl Battle Division | Led by Xiao Li; specializes in fierce, ruthless skirmishes and encounter battles. 924 945 1044 |
| Ming Tu Battle Division | A major force associated with Ming Tu; employed in decisive campaigns against the Nether Body and White Star Civilizations. 1026 1081 |
| Superpower War Department | A 20,000-member force equipped for superhuman warfare; its appearance was considered capable of destroying any contemporary top-tier war department. 1072 |
Technology and Military Assets
Artificial intelligence and War Robots
The group developed the Ant Soldier System, an artificial-intelligence program designed as the core system for mass-produced War Robots. Researchers trained it using combat data, strategies, and fighting styles collected from the virtual-reality game Super Mecha Master. 798
- War Robots serve as a central component of the group’s military-industrial output and planetary defense. 549 768
- Virtual-reality combat data is used to identify new weapon concepts, mecha designs, tactics, and soldier-training programs. 790 798
- Developed stars under Ant Army control are managed by artificial intelligence and defended by extensive war-machine networks. 879
Battle Armor and standard equipment
The group adopted battle armor as the core equipment of its armed forces, using virtual-reality systems to improve piloting, tactics, and coordinated combat. 790
- Its soldiers receive highly advanced armor, while elite divisions use top-tier standard battle armor. 873 909
- Battle divisions receive equipment and war-machine modifications tailored to their commanders’ individual tactical styles. 1044
- The group independently developed multiple top-tier standard battle-armor designs, a capability that shocked other civilizations. 853
Superpower technology and Superpower Armor
The Ant Army Group was among the earliest powers to master superpower-development technology. Every member of its war divisions, reserve corps, and subordinate legions developed superpowers; entry into its core battle divisions requires at least third-stage superpower ability. 1031
- Superpower Armor amplifies a life form’s superpowers and is treated as a top-secret strategic weapon. 1031
- The armor requires Aether Matter, including the difficult processes of extracting and mass-producing it. 1111
- The group fielded thousands of planetary-level superhumans in battle, using superhuman-machine coordination to shatter enemy defense lines. 1081
- Its Superpower War Department conducted successful simultaneous operations across three fronts, exposing the group’s advanced superpower warfare model to the universe. 1084
Defensive infrastructure and logistics
The group relies on fortified star systems and rapid-response logistics rather than conventional static defense alone. 879 1035
- Space bubbles can seal off major regions and prevent unauthorized entry into Ant Army territory. 908
- Space fortresses render conventional space and light-speed weapons ineffective unless attackers can seize them through direct combat. 1030
- Spatial connectors link the group’s star domain and enable rapid military reinforcement. 1077
- Space Interferometers protect strategic locations such as the Mu Wu Rainbow Bridge. 957
- Controlled artificial wormholes and space connectors support its strategic depth in the An Clan Supercluster. 1035
Major Operations and Expansion
- African campaign — The Xitu Armed Forces, supported by Soldier Ant Equipment and the group’s war machine, rapidly occupied Africa after Chen Mo’s disappearance. 744
- Bear Wind Armor Regiment conflict — Ant Army war robots and space-based weapons ambushed the regiment, while the Da Mo Group entered the battlefield to complete the engagement. 879

- Nether Body Civilization campaign — It exploited the fall of the Nether Body Civilization to capture 1,383 star clusters in only half a year. 1026 1030
- Sauron Alliance annexation — The group absorbed the Sauron Alliance with almost no significant casualties, an outcome that defied prevailing war theory. 1049
- White Star conflict — Its Superpower War Department broke the White Star Civilization’s defenses, and the group later absorbed the civilization’s remnants, core territory, and talent. 1081 1113
- Dark Forest intervention — A coup in the Dark Forest led to its surrender to the Army Ant, which then demanded the Endless Sea withdraw from the region. 1120
- Black Eye war preparations — The Army Ant, Endless Sea, and Thousand Stars Empire assembled for a joint offensive against the Black Eye Civilization. 1126
