Blue light scanned.
There was a suction force coming from the throne of control under him, and within a short period of ten seconds, a large amount of nutrients and energy stored in the body were sucked away.
Long Bai was exhausted. It took him a while to recover, and he raised his claws to pull out the shredded meat that had been prepared aside and gnaw on it.
I ate three strips in succession and rested for a while before I regained my composure.
Slowly climbed down from the throne, shook his tentacles, and called the worker ants to come over and carry the eggs and send them to the worker ant incubation room.
Long Bai himself followed into the incubation room and released pheromones.
Currently, there are 5 specialized soldier ants, and 4 of them are stationed in Mo Lan's territory for a long time, dedicated to guarding the god-given seeds of Fruit Orchid.
Leave a specialized soldier ant with two large soldier ants to guard the newly sown cypress seedlings.
Specialized soldier ants are barely enough.
Now, Longbai focuses on cultivating small soldier ants and specialized worker ants.
Small soldier ants are only 1 centimeter in size, and the temperature in early summer is suitable. The development time from larvae to adults is shortened to about 25 days.
When one came out, Long Bai sent one to Mo Lan.
There are ultra-small pests such as aphids, scale insects, red spider mites, and thrips in the mountain forests. In addition, there are also insects such as snails, mole crickets, and cutworms that may also harm the life of planted plants.
It is most convenient to use small soldier ants to deal with them.
……
It’s hot summer.
Dragon cypress: The three main planting plants of dragon cypress, garden cypress and juniper planted last year have all grown to a height of 60 to 70 centimeters and have grown into large seedlings.
The giant cypress seeds sown early in spring this year have grown rapidly and have reached a height of nearly 30 centimeters.
The cypress sown in late spring is now more than 10 centimeters tall. It is fenced and guarded by soldier ants.
The situation in the Molan Territory is similar. There is basically no need to worry about the safety of the plants.
You can consider exploring starships.
...
After a heavy rain,
Long Bai controlled the throne, carrying 6 special soldier ants, 3 special chemical worker ants, and large and small bags full of spider silk. Packing bags of dried meat and freshly picked wild fruits of various colors, we set off and entered the starship.
“I found the throne of dominion in this room.”
Long Bai was born with a memory that surpassed that of a worm. He memorized complicated routes and led the path until he found the dominator throne last time. The throne room.
Mo Lan spotted the opening in the wall at a glance, flapped her wings, hovered in mid-air, looked inside, and scanned it mentally.
The huge room was empty.
Mo Lan turned around and landed on the top of the throne.
"Long Bai, where are the other rooms?"
"I have seen everything around here, there is nothing else."
Long Bai controlled the throne to fly slowly.
A wide corridor four to five meters wide, seven to eight meters high, and more than a hundred meters long.
There are 10 huge round rooms with locked doors neatly distributed on both sides, and 10 large rooms with the same specifications.
The walls of the other nine rooms were damaged to varying degrees, and the dark gold metal partitions were also violently damaged. Everything that could be moved in the room had been moved, and some that could not be moved. A square metal cabinet integrated with a starship.
Mo Lan was very active and checked them one by one. She was soon disappointed to find that the cabinet doors had been violently destroyed and there was nothing left inside.
After reading it quickly, I came to the end of the corridor.
The two corridors on the left and right are about 2 meters wide.
Moving forward, Longbai has not been explored.
Long Bai: "Mo Lan, which way are you going?"
Mo Lan: "Long Bai, lead the way."
Long Bai: "I'm not familiar with it either. Then just go away."
"This way!"
Mo Lan raised her left wing and pointed to the left.
Long Bai controls the throne and flies away.
After walking a few dozen meters, there is another fork. There are corridors on the left and right sides. In front is a metal door that was twisted and deformed by violence. Behind the door is a shaft leading to the upper and lower floors.
In a dark and airtight starship without any reference signs, it is easy to get lost at such complicated intersections.
Long Bai left behind a special chemical worker ant, left some fruits and dried meat for it, and ordered it to patrol the passage he just walked through every once in a while, leaving pheromone marks to guide the path.
“Mo Lan, how to go?”
Long Bai seemed to be the same no matter which way he went.
"On the right?"
Mo Lan was a little unsure and chose randomly.
There are many rooms on both sides of the corridor on the right, with single rectangular door frames and door panels removed. Mo Lan ran ahead, checking from room to room, constantly disappointed.
At the end of the corridor, to the left is a spiral staircase leading to the upper and lower floors. To the right is still a corridor, but there are no rooms.
“Longbai, this way!”
Mo Lan led the way to the right, quickly passed through the corridor, and entered an empty rotunda. Everything that could not be demolished or moved but could be destroyed had been destroyed, and nothing was left.
There is an exit on the opposite side of the hall. Continuing forward, there are repeated forks, corridors, and empty rooms.
Long Bai used up his 6 specialized soldier ants and 3 specialized worker ants, so he marked them with pheromones and walked a long way back to the main place marked by the flame spider clan. aisle.
The starship corridors are not only intricate, but also extend in all directions.
Long Bai and Mo Lan walked back the same way, and at the fork where the soldier ants were placed, they chose another route to explore.
I walked around for an unknown amount of time, confirming that this area had been sorted out.
Take the stairs to the upper level of the starship and continue exploring in the same way...
...
The sun and moon are not visible in the darkness.
Longbai still calculates time based on the 'duration of pheromone duration', and keeps time by biting teeth marks on the leaves.
Not very precise,
About five days passed.
Nothing found.
Not even one extraterrestrial creation that has only collection value but no practical value has been found.
Mo Lan had already lost her confidence and lay on the throne of control, not wanting to move.
Long Bai was much more steady, never impatient, observing, sizing up, and thinking about the layout rules along the way.
It was gradually discovered that the starship was divided into seven floors, with a floor height of about 9 meters. Each floor had a wide 'main passage' running from beginning to end.
Some areas are divided into two floors with a floor height of more than 4 meters, and some areas are divided into 14 small floors.
There are also several particularly large rooms with a floor height of twenty to thirty meters, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the main passage.
Long Bai slowly summarized the core rules:
The starship belongs to an extraterrestrial civilization called "humanity". When those "humans" arrange the starship, it should be similar to an ant nest, dividing the rest area, activity area, eating area, starship control area, etc.
The "treasure house" for storing important materials should be located on the first, second, and third floors, concentrated in certain areas. Large items should be placed in one area, and small items should be placed in another area.
Moreover, these treasure house areas are symmetrical from top to bottom, that is, the corridors and room layouts on the first, second, and third floors are basically the same, and the location of the "treasure house" is also the same.
The main passage from the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Continent to the Yunji Continent happens to be on the third floor. The throne of control is found in the "treasure house" of large objects on the third floor.
After Long Bai figured out these rules, he decisively went down to the second floor.
It took a lot of time to check and verify, and it turned out to be true.
With the help of 6 specialized soldier ants and 3 specialized worker ants for marking, Long Bai was confident that he would not get lost.
It took a lot of time to search several important areas on the second floor, and locked 5 "treasure areas" of different sizes.
No gain.
Then go down and come to the first floor.
The "treasure area" that corresponds vertically to the room where the throne of dominance was found has the exact same room layout.
As soon as he got close, a message suddenly came from the ruling throne:
[The Blue Heart was found and is in extremely critical condition. Do you want to treat it? 】
“Huh?!”
Long Bai was startled and subconsciously chose ‘yes’.
The next second, the ruling throne reacted violently, and its reserve of force was drained rapidly.
The highly condensed original energy formed a white line, like a snake, snaking forward along the ground, then upward along the wall, and sank into the room through the hole at the top of the wall that was violently torn apart.
“Yeah!”
Lying on the throne of control, bored and drowsy, Mo Lan jumped up in fright, flapped her wings and flew away at high speed.
"Longbai?"
"What's wrong?"
"Did you find the treasure?"
Mo Lan was stunned, questioning, cheering, and flew towards the room.
Long Bai was also stunned for two seconds, then reacted and controlled the throne to fly towards the room.
Looking through the spacious hole, the 'Force Line' released by the Dominion Throne is linked to a huge blue heart-shaped object in the room.
"Wow!"
"Long Bai? What is this? A treasure? What treasure?"
Mo Lan stared at the things in the room and asked questions one after another.
Long Bai: "I don't know...it must be the creation of the 'Creator Civilization' that triggered the response of the Dominion Throne."
"What a big treasure!"
Mo Lan exclaimed and reacted immediately, asking:
"Can it shrink? Can it fly by itself?"
Long Bai: "..."
Mo Lan: "How to take it out? How to move it back?"
Long Bai: "How do I know..."
Long Bai: "Mo Lan, don't be impatient, just observe first."
