Chapter 3 The Throne of Control
Ants have pheromones and can use them to mark paths, but the duration is limited.
Long Bai did not act rashly. Instead, he conducted repeated tests and exercises to familiarize himself with the duration of his own pheromones before setting off. He always squeezed the time and returned to the main channel as soon as possible.
After several days of exploration, all I found were violently broken doors and ransacked rooms.
Even the removable doors of some rooms have been removed.
Occasionally, you can see unknown items that have been smashed to pieces because they cannot be dismantled.
Luo Li is right. Although the starship is large in scale, each ant king can command the actions of tens of thousands of ant armies. Over the years, everything that can be taken away has been taken. Go, everything that can be destroyed has been destroyed.
But there are exceptions...
...
Long Bai memorized many paths, and his courage grew as he hurried to the depths.
Inadvertently broke into an unusually wide corridor.
The rooms on both sides are thick round metal hatches, which look super solid.
The doors are covered with various damage scratches. It can be seen that they have been attacked by the metal insect king, but they could not be opened.
A total of 10 such doors, 10 rooms.
Nine of them have been destroyed from the sides by insects, and there is nothing inside.
There was no hole in the wall of the remaining room, except for a hole near the ceiling that was not seriously damaged.
Long Bai flew forward to take a closer look.
The outer metal of the wall was severely damaged by a brutal attack by an insect king from an unknown era, but it was blocked by a dark golden metal plate sandwiched in the middle.
The metal plate is intact.
There is a regular round hole on the metal plate. It should be that this room already has such a hole with a diameter of six or seven centimeters.
Long Bai lay at the entrance of the cave and looked into the room, suddenly cheering excitedly.
There is something!
In the center of the room, there is a huge sphere displayed on the base, with a quarter gap.
There are soft cushions in the gap and armrests on both sides. It looks a bit like the seats created by extraterrestrial civilizations that I have seen when traveling with caravans on the mainland
Perception, the force comes through Enter the room through the hole and gather around the sphere.
It seems that it is also a treasure that can independently gather the original power and assist in spiritual practice!
Long Bai turned his head and looked at the scarred door, and then tested the thickness of the wall, feeling even more excited.
The things must be valuable, so the room protection is particularly strong.
Because the ball seat was too big and heavy, it was lucky enough to be saved.
——I definitely can’t move away...but I live around here!
——Can I use it to accelerate evolution?
Long Bai thought, got into the room, flapped his wings and approached cautiously, flying around the 'ball seat', looking up, down, left and right.
The whole body is made of metal in deep blue, the armrests are in blue with wooden texture, and the seat cushion and backrest seem to be made of metal weave, dark blue with white waves and cloud patterns.
Long Bai followed the caravan and visited many Zerg lords and kings. He saw and understood many strange creations of extraterrestrial civilizations. After looking around, he was 100% sure that this was an item that had the power to gather force. An oversized seat to assist in spiritual practice.
“There shouldn’t be any danger, right?”
Long Bai calmed down his excited mood and flapped his membrane wings vigorously, up and down, front and back, over and over again, and observed carefully several times.
I couldn’t see the danger in this object, and I couldn’t feel the danger, so I landed on the cushion with confidence and boldness.
As expected.
As soon as he landed, the seat seemed to have a sense, and the thick force gathered on Long Bai's body covered Long Bai's body, assisting in absorption.
Long Bai shook his membrane wings comfortably, not daring to take it lightly. He was alert for a while and was 100% sure that there was no danger. Then he folded his wings and lay down with peace of mind.
After lying down for a while, he quickly got up and followed the hole out of the room, flying along the pheromone marks, paying attention to every door he passed and remembering every fork in the corridor.
Flyed back and forth three times, keeping in mind the path from the main passage to the seating room.
Flying back to the exit of the starship where he was staying, dragging his spider silk bag filled with winter food, he hurried hard, taking two breaks along the way, and finally arrived at the door of the 'seat' room.
In batches and repeated several times, move the food and spider silk bags into the room.
After the move was completed, An Xin settled down on the seat cushion for a long time, greedily absorbing the force.
...
After Long Bai moved to the starship to live, he also insisted on keeping time, using a wax tree leaf, and time would bite a notch in it every day.
The dark room has no sunlight, and no one knows the time.
But this is not a problem for Long Bai.
The duration of pheromone is about one morning. The approximate passage of time can be grasped through the natural evaporation of pheromone.
11 days later,
Long Bai vaguely felt that an evolutionary breakthrough was imminent. He took out the three black brome grains that Luo Chen had given him before leaving and kept them for more than half a year. He ate them three times.
The supplement of force food broke the last layer of ambiguity, and Long Bai began to feel drowsy. This state lasted for a while, and he fell into a deep sleep.
The giant seat seems to be sensing something. It absorbs the natural force at an accelerated rate and gathers it around the dragon cypress. As it continues to accumulate, the ultra-high concentration of the force emits a snow-white hazy light, like a cloud of light. A cocoon of light.
……
I don’t know how much time passed, but the force light cocoon suddenly dispersed.
After waking up, Long Bai slowly raised his head and remained silent for a long time before he came back to his senses: This was a room in the starship, and he fell into a deep sleep on a huge seat that could assist in practice.
Long Bai exerted his strength gently, and a gap was opened in the carapace on his back. He twisted his body slightly, and bit by bit got out of the old carapace. After the evolution and transformation, his new and tender body began to expand.
Stretch the membrane wings and wait silently,
The new carapace takes shape and hardens.
The 5th instar junior ant king!
The whole process went extremely smoothly. When I woke up from a deep sleep this time, I didn't have the extreme weakness like the previous three times. I just felt empty and hungry in my belly.
Long Bai pulled a piece of dried meat, lowered his head and ate it while combing through his memories.
Every time you successfully shed your shell and evolve, you will awaken part of the inherited knowledge, which is divided into three major categories, namely giant-headed ants exclusive, animal knowledge, and plant knowledge.
In the memory of this evolutionary awakening, a new race-specific skill is added: releasing pheromones to stimulate the ant eggs to develop into specialized soldier ants that are larger than the ant king.
Where can a solitary male ant find eggs?
Without ant eggs, it would be meaningless to evolve the race-specific abilities awakened at the fifth age. Knowledge of flora and fauna is of some use.
For example, near the territory where the life seed takes root, there is a very tall tree with many fruits. I didn’t know Long Bai at first, but now I know it. Its name is ‘Junqianzi’, also known as ‘Milk Date’ and ‘Wild Persimmon’. You can eat the fruit, but you shouldn’t eat too much.
Jun Qianzi’s seeds were bred into life seeds, and the condensed force fruit has the ability to strengthen the digestive system.
"When I will be promoted to an intermediate warrior in the future, I may consider planting a tree to enrich the variety of Force food..."
Long Bai was planning in his mind, while eating, while sorting out the newly acquired inheritance memories.
Inherited things are dead. It takes time and brain power to 'read' them several times before you can initially grasp them and remember them in time when you encounter them in the future.
“Hmm?”
Long Bai’s chewing movements suddenly froze.
There seems to be some mixed information in the awakened knowledge.
[Experiment No. GADSSS541, top secret]
[Creator Civilization, Ruler Throne, Genetic Information Identification and Reading System has been deleted, led by Hou Wenfeng, Commander of the 741st Regiment, 168th Army of the Alliance Expeditionary Force Escort and hand over to Chief Liu Zhihong of the Phoenix Galaxy GA541 Laboratory...]
[This battle did not encounter large-scale resistance, and the creator civilization no longer exists]
[The end point of individual evolution is Eternity, the end point of civilization evolution is death】
[Today's creator civilization, or the future of human civilization]
[The throne of domination is the last struggle of the creator civilization, and it is of little significance. But there are also merits that human civilization can learn from]
......
"Creator civilization? Human civilization? Is the Outer Space Civilization, like the Zerg, subdivided into tribes?"< br>
“It seems that human civilization launched a war and destroyed a civilization named ‘Creator’.”
"Oh! I understand!"
"The 'giant seat' under me was snatched by human civilization from the creator civilization, and its name is the 'Throne of Dominance'."
Long Bai wanted to understand something, but he was still confused. There were many things he didn’t understand, especially why he got such a piece of information?
When he woke up from his deep sleep, he noticed something was wrong. There seemed to be some kind of connection between himself and the throne of control.
Long Bai thought about it, unable to lie down any longer. He ate the dried meat at a faster pace, flapped his wings and took off, landing on the smooth spherical surface raised on the top of the seat back.
The vague connection became clear, and new information came:
[Please select the messenger type]
[Guardian·Power]
[Producer ·Agriculture]
Messenger? choose?
Long Bai was puzzled, confused, hesitant, and randomly selected the 'guardian'.
[Please select the quantity]
[Quantity 1]
[Quantity 2]
There are only two choices, Longbai can only choose [Quantity 1] 】
[Selection Complete]
The ruling throne shrank sharply, turning into an ultra-small 'seat' with a diameter of only six or seven centimeters.
Long Bai flapped his wings and soared into the air. He calmed down after a brief moment of surprise and landed on the soft cushions of the seat.
The ruling throne at this time is neither big nor small. It fits the body shape of Long Bai and is just right for lying on it.
Another ray of blue light emitted from the hemispheric bulge on the back of the seat and swept over Long Bai.
[Scan completed]
[The physical condition is poor, nutrition and physical energy are deficient, please replenish food in time, pay attention to drinking water, and exercise appropriately]
[The messenger function is closed]
Long Bai : "???"
Long Bai was silent.
"The Throne of Dominance is the last struggle of the creator civilization..."
"Although I don't know what it is used for, I can confirm that it is a treasure, and that is enough..."
< br>Long Bai flapped his wings and landed on the ground, took out a piece of dried meat and continued to eat it. At the same time, he contacted it with his mind and tried to control it.
The throne of control quickly enlarged and returned to its original 'giant seat' appearance.
Think again,
The ruling throne shrank rapidly, reaching its limit of about 3 centimeters in diameter and unable to shrink any further.
Long Bai tried to pick it up with both claws, but it was so heavy that the strength of the 5-year-old junior ant king could not shake it at all.
“Can’t you take it with you?”
Long Bai changed his mind and tried to control the weight of the throne.
No response.
Try controlling scrolling again.
The throne of control is really rolling.
Long Bai was overjoyed and looked at the entrance and exit holes on the wall of the room: You can't get out of this.
I tried to control the takeoff again.
The throne of control actually rose from the ground.
