Chapter 546: Reclamation of Shake Leaf Island (2)
Long Bai and Bai Fan worked together and spent 60 days to dig out the underground escape tunnel from the central king's nest to the seabed in the north, and also completed the preliminary excavation of the western passage. Preparation.
Northern Hemisphere, New Year begins with spring.
Long Bai and Bai Fan didn't stay long and returned on time, each busy with their own things.
Spring, summer, autumn and winter are another year.
At the beginning of winter,
Long Bai first took Mo Lan into Wanglan Continent and quickly completed the search for Yaoye Island and Thousand Reef Islands.
Send Mo Lan back to Xianglan Mountain, pick up the rice, and continue digging the escape tunnel.
Currently there are 14 specialized worker ants and 14 large worker ants on the island.
Adjustment of working methods,
Long Bai personally led 4 specialized worker ants and 4 large worker ants to be responsible for the excavation work at the front.
Baifan's workload was reduced, and he was only responsible for gathering the excavated stones into square bricks and solidifying them slightly.
10 specialized worker ants and 10 large worker ants are responsible for the transportation work.
Baifan’s work burden is reduced and mining efficiency doubled.
The total length of the escape tunnel from the central king's nest to the seabed in the west of the island is about 7 kilometers, with temporary exits opened every two kilometers to reduce the transportation distance of worker ants.
It took 80 days to build the second escape tunnel.
Send Baifan back to Baifanshan.
Make three trips in a row, first pick up Hei Hua and Li Zhi and go to Shake Leaf Island.
The last trip picks up Yinbai...
...
At noon after a heavy rain, the sun was blazing in the sky and there were no clouds in the sky.
The throne of rulership that lurks in the deep sea rises vertically, emerges from the sea, and reaches the sky.
"Yinbai! Over there."
Longbai raised his paw to guide the direction and said: "The straight-line distance is about 300 kilometers, Qieye Island, you activate the sunburn ability, look at the island The situation. ”
“Okay, King!”
Yinbai agreed and asked: "Your Majesty, be specific? What do you want to see specifically?"
Long Bai: "What do you want to see? Just take a look."
Yinbai: "... …”
Yinbai turned around, probed the edge of the throne, and gazed intently. The original energy condensed into the sky eye on his forehead, supporting a giant blue-purple original energy barrier with a length of nearly thirty meters.
After about five seconds, the original energy barrier disappeared.
Yinbaihui reported: "Your Majesty, I saw the island. It's probably because it was too hot at noon. There are no ants coming out of the nest. There is no situation."
Long Bai: "Idiot! What do you think the ants are doing? Destiny. Plant! The ant kingdom at the lord level occupies an island of 400 square kilometers. There must be God-given seeds. The God-given seeds of life must be sown near the main nest. Find the God-given seeds! Location."
Yinbai: "Uh..."
Yinbai muttered and retorted: "I just asked you, but you didn't make it clear..."
Response It's the tentacles that flap.
Yinbai buried his head and didn't dare to say anything. He took a short rest and activated his sunburn ability again to check.
It lasted for seven or eight seconds, and the ability was removed.
"Your Majesty, I found it!"
"My Majesty, you know things like a god! On a towering mountain peak, I saw many ants moving. A golden tree was planted at the foot of the mountain. It is very tall. It must be a seed given by God. Then, it seemed like it was gone..."
Long Bai: "Only one tree?"
Yinbai: "We can only make preliminary judgments through the visual patterns collected through light information. There may be some God-given seeds that are not very conspicuous."
Yinbai: "Your Majesty, this direction We can only see the situation on the southwest side of the island, and we can only collect information on the southwest side of the mountain... Change the angle?"
Long Bai: "Don't change it. Take a closer look at the common plants on the island."
Yinbai: "...Oh."
Yinbai thought for a while, rested for a while, activated his sunburn ability and looked again.
"Your Majesty, the main crops planted in the orchard on the island are large trees such as costumia, mulberry, yellowbark tree, poinciana, Chinese tallow tree, heather and so on. I also saw a Philippine fruit tree, which is obviously an improved variety and grows very tall. There are also other trees. I don’t know any of these trees and have never seen them before.”
Silver cypress: “They have cultivated the land into neat squares, with cypress, pear, apricot and other fruit trees planted in between. Obviously, they don’t like to eat fruits, so they plant very few.”
That’s pretty much it...
It’s 100% certain that a certain kingdom of leaf-cutting ants is stationed on the island.
Long Bai: "Okay. Let's go."
With a thought, Long Bai made the throne fall freely, plummeting vertically, submerging into the deep sea, and continued to sneak on his way.
…
…
Shaking Leaf Island.
Under the tree of shake-leaf iron-core tree planted by God.
"Your Majesty!"
"Yinbai!"
Ziu and Heihua came forward to greet him.
The total number of ants in the West branch nest exceeds 300.
After Hei Hua arrived at the place, he immediately organized a team and together with Zhi, they combed the rivers and ditches and cleaned up the messy vegetation around the god-given seeds of the rock-leaf iron core tree.
Long Bai lightly jumped to the ground, took the throne of control back into his mouth, waved his tentacles to signal, and led Yin Bai, Hei Hua, and Li Bai up the mountain together to the top of the mountain.
"Yinbai, if nothing unexpected happens, you will all be living on Yaoye Island for many, many years to come. Two tasks, the first is to build an unbreakable military base; the second is to open up wasteland and expand the land. , plant Rain Tree No. 1 on a large scale, and then sow other tropical plants.”
“I understand.”
Silver cypress, black birch, and water chestnut agreed.
“When in danger, the priority is to save your life. Don’t think too much. Arrange the blue soldiers and blue ants on the island to enter the underground water vein network to escape, while you escape directly through the undersea tunnel. Sneak under the sea and escape to the southeast. There is a resting island 1,000 kilometers away. After escaping, meet there and wait for me. "
"As for the specific route, I will take you through it in two days."
< br>“I know!”
“I understand!”
"Your Majesty, don't worry!"
Yin Bai and Hei Hua agreed sonorously.
Longbai: "This is the West Branch Nest, and this mountain is the highest on the entire island. Yinbai, remember, climb to the top of the mountain at least three times every morning, noon, and afternoon to activate the sunburn ability, observe the situation on the sea in the distance."
Yinbai: "Okay, King."
Longbai: "If there is nothing else, Yinbai, you will be on guard at the top of the mountain from time to time. If there is an insect approaching or invading, he will immediately activate his sunburn ability and notify Hei Hua and Zhi Zhi, so that everyone can run away in time to minimize the risk."
Yinbai: "I understand. Your Majesty."
Longbai: "Zi, you can either stay under the rock-leaf ironwood tree, or walk with Black Birch. Try not to walk alone."< br>
荛: "I know. Your Majesty."
Heihua is a rare and calm character among many princes.
Long Bai looked at Hei Hua, paused, and warned: "Hei Hua, be more careful."
Black Birch: "I understand, Your Majesty."
Long Bai: "The escape passage from the central king's nest to the sea to the north and west of the island has been dug. I will take you there to take a look. Everyone should familiarize themselves with the environment first. . ”
……
Long Bai has arranged various affairs for this year in Yunji Continent in advance.
Long Bai also stayed on Yaoye Island. He first led Yin Bai, Hei Hua, and Li Bai to get familiar with the island and the surrounding sea environment, then went to the islands and reefs to familiarize themselves with the escape routes.
Explain construction planning.
Work officially started,
Yinbai is mainly responsible for sentry and hunting work.
The water chestnut guards the god-given seed of the rock-leaf iron-core tree.
Longbai and Black Birch lead the ant colony to work.
The first is to develop and build the western branch nest.
Excavate the 'underground vein network' to connect the west branch nest with the escape tunnel to the west of the island. If you don't want to completely penetrate it first, you still need to come over and use your earth ability to reinforce the stone wall.
The network tunnel is designed as a semi-circular arch with a diameter of about 2.2 meters, which is enough for three specialized soldier ants to run parallelly. A wide space is set up every 100 meters in the water network to make it easier for King Zuo to turn around when he is running away.
It took two months to dig the west branch nest and the first network tunnel.
Long Bai and Black Birch continue to lead the ant colony and dig an escape tunnel from the central king's nest to the seabed on the east side of the island.
Dig it first, and then just use the soil ability to reinforce it when the rice comes in in winter.
At the same time,
Longbai continues to cultivate blue soldiers, blue ants, and worker ants to expand the size of the ant colony.
A steady stream of large and medium-sized worker ants emerge and join the excavation team.
Long Bai divided the team into two. He and Heihua each led one team and excavated in two sections at the same time, doubling the efficiency.
The third eastward escape tunnel planned by Long Bai is about 11 kilometers in total. It was busy until the Mid-Autumn Festival of Yunji Continent and was basically completed. Only the last few hundred meters are left. It will be opened after Bai Fan comes over to complete the tunnel reinforcement and hardening work. Irrigation.
