Chapter 36 Blue Ants (Additional updates for further reading)
Mo Lan stayed outside the ant nest for five days and five nights.
After figuring out the ability of the water system, Long Bai used the throne of control to send it home and rest quickly.
Long Bai himself also returned to the nest, spit out the newly conceived green torreya seeds, and chose a golden pine nut as the first life seed for the first instar of the intermediate ant king.
Continue to eat, recuperate, and recover from evolutionary losses.
At dawn,
feeling somewhat recovered, I left the nest and came to the pond.
"Zhanlan, I have evolved! Intermediate ant king."
Zhanlan: "I feel it, I have also evolved."
Long Bai: "Then you have Don’t you feel that your growth has accelerated?”
Zhanlan: "It seems there is..."
Okay!
Long Bai was overjoyed.
The main reason why I am anxious to advance to the intermediate level is so that the God-given seed can grow faster.
Grow up earlier, bloom and bear fruit earlier, bloom more and bear more fruit.
Long Bai: "Zhan Lan, please pay attention to rooting deep when growing. After a while, after I dig the four large reservoirs around me, I will dig them through and connect them with the small pond where you are taking root now." "One piece."
Zhan Lan thought for a long time before he understood Long Bai's meaning, conveyed a joyful spiritual thought, and agreed: "I understand!"
…

…
It’s early autumn when the sun is still scorching.
There are all kinds of wild fruits on the mountain that are beginning to mature, and Mo Lan begins a new round of search for the God-given seeds.
Long Bai gave himself a day off, followed him around the mountains, and ate all kinds of fruits by the way.
No gain, but a very happy day.
Returning to the nest at dusk.
Long Bai felt full of vitality, passed the weak period of evolution, communicated with the throne, and activated the 'messenger' function.
[Please select the messenger type]
[Guardian·Power]
[Guardian·Hydrology]
[Producer·Agriculture]
【Producer·Refining】
——Huh?
Long Bai was stunned and realized.
Strength is the racial talent of giant-headed ants.
Promoted to the intermediate ant king, additionally awakened the water system talent. Correspondingly, the domination throne has an additional water system 'messenger', and two additional options of water system soldier ants and worker ants:
——Guardian Hydrology?
——Producer·Refining?
The water system ability is not powerful, and the water system soldier ants are definitely not powerful either, so just ignore it.
“What does refining mean?”
“Are the ways in which pheromones stimulate development and differentiation the same?”
"Then, can the 'intelligent worker ants' I cultivated from 'Producer·Agriculture' ant eggs be able to command the worker ants cultivated from 'Producer·Refiner' ant eggs?"
"Similarly, the power system Can the giant soldier ants command the 'hydrology' type soldier ants?"
"This is a very critical question..."
After Long Bai thought about it for a while, another thought came to his mind. Ask all kinds of questions.
These questions can be guessed and solved one by one in the future.
Still choose [Producer·Agriculture], first try the ‘intelligent worker ants’ that cultivate racial inheritance memory.
[Please select quantity]
[Quantity 1]
[Quantity 2]
[Quantity 3]
[Quantity 4]
The maximum number of ant eggs produced per time has been increased to 4!
Long Bai is happy again.
If we still maintain the cycle of four days, with 4 ant eggs each time, that is an average of 1 ant egg per day.
This is the great news.
Long Bai had eaten various force foods that strengthened the comprehensive physique, and confidently chose 4 pills.
Blue light scanned.
[Your physical condition is not good, please reselect the quantity]
Long Bai: "..."
Have you not fully recovered yet?
Long Bai tried to choose [Quantity 3]
and passed successfully.
The suction force came from the throne of domination, the messenger was generated, and entered the first stage of the birth of the force.
......
Long Bai counted the total number of ant colonies in the south and north of the mountain, up and down the mountain. There are 58 large, medium, small and micro worker ants, with sufficient logistical support.
(A total of 60 ants were cultivated and 2 were lost)
82 specialized worker ants.
(A total of 86 ants were cultivated, 4 were lost)
67 large, medium, small and micro soldier ants.
(A total of 80 ants were bred, 13 were lost due to battle damage or inexplicable loss)
There are 76 specialized soldier ants, two of which are disabled.
(A total of 84 ants were cultivated, 7 were lost in hunting battles, and 1 was washed away by water during heavy rain)
The total number of ants in the colony is 280, large and small.
In addition, there are 21 ant eggs and larvae in the incubation room.
"Intermediate ant king, the soldier ants and worker ants cultivated are also corresponding to the intermediate life level, and they will definitely be stronger."
"Next, the main thing is to cultivate specialized worker ants on a large scale, and then cultivate 40 more, and then turn around With the help of intelligent chemical workers, there is no need to worry about being unable to command them."
"Soldier ants suffer heavy losses in battle, and soldier ants of all sizes need to be properly supplemented."
"I don't know how to cultivate intelligent chemical workers. How long is the cycle? Is it also 60 to 70 days?”
Long Bai calculated and made a rough plan for the next development of the ant colony.
...
[Messenger, Producer, and Agriculture are generated]
Long Bai checked the ant eggs. Compared with the primary ant king, they were a little bigger. It was a change that was difficult to detect without careful measurement. .
There are no other differences.
Apply pheromones to stimulate development and signal the worker ants to move away.
One of them will be cultivated as an 'intelligent worker ant', a separate incubation room will be opened for it, and 1 medium-sized worker ant and 3 small worker ants will be sent out, for a total of 4 worker ants to take care of it full-time.
Take a day off,
Enable the Throne Messenger function, select [Producer·Refining]
It took three days, 3 translucent, showing light blue The ant eggs are generated from the pure water system.
Try to use pheromone stimulation to differentiate into specialized worker ants, large worker ants and medium-sized worker ants.
...
The reaction of ordinary life seeds is much slower than that of God-given seeds.
Seven days after Long Bai was promoted to the intermediate ant king, the eight ordinary plants showed some changes. The autumn temperature was not bad, and their growth rate increased a little.
The fourth giant cypress is over 1.5 meters tall and will definitely bloom next spring. You can consider allowing it to set seeds appropriately.
Two days later,
For intelligent worker ants to hatch, Long Bai needs to enter the incubation room regularly in the morning, noon and evening every day to replenish the pheromones that stimulate their differentiation. When resting at night, let the worker ants move to the throne, and the abundant force will help them grow and develop.
……
“Producer Refining” ant eggs hatch one after another, and the larvae are white and tender as a whole, with light blue rings.
Ten days later,
at the foot of the mountain, the excavation of the third large pond to the south of the small pond was completed.
Ten days later,
Before the temperature dropped, the fifth broad leaf of the azure god-given seed unfolded, and the plant reached a height of three meters.
At the same time, the larvae of the intelligent chemical worker ants developed rapidly, with a body length of more than 5 centimeters. They were white, chubby, and looked particularly strong.
Inherited memory shows that
cultivating giant soldier ants requires feeding a large amount of various physical-strengthening force foods, mainly strength.
Cultivating intelligent worker ants requires Force food, but there are no special requirements.
Just in time, the molan seeds in Molan territory were mature and harvested, and 60 seeds were delivered.
Long Bai tried to feed the intelligent worker ant larvae with low-quality molan seeds.
Don’t dare give more, just one pill a day.
The Shilan and Xuelan in the Molan territory ripen one after another.
This year we had a good harvest, and we gave away 100 Shilan seeds alone.
Long Bai mixed three kinds of orchid seeds and fed them to the larvae of intelligent chemical workers.
When its body length exceeds 10 centimeters, feed it high-quality force food purchased from Luo Qiu.
……
[Producer·Refining] The larvae cultivated by ant eggs form cocoons and emerge.
Body length is just over 5 cm.
The carapace is black, and the abdomen is circled, with a total of 6 blue rings.
For the convenience of distinction, Long Bai simply named this kind of worker ant as ‘blue worker ant’, or ‘blue ant’ for short; the corresponding soldier ant was named ‘blue soldier ant’, or ‘blue soldier’ for short.
After the blue ant is full, its abdomen bulges and the blue rings become translucent. You can vaguely see that its belly is full of food that turns into white liquid.
Long Bai used his mental power to scan and check, and he understood immediately.
The so-called ‘refining’ means refining food, leaving pure energy and nutrients that can be directly absorbed and stored.
Continuous observation,
soon discovered that when a worker ant in the ant colony is hungry, the blue ants will spit out the refined food stored in their stomachs and feed it to the workers.
Long Bai understood the role of blue ants, and immediately had another idea: Can force food be refined?
Thinking of this,
There were many wonderful ideas popping up in Long Bai's mind.
