Use [corrosive slime] to block the passages near the messy rocks to prevent ants from passing by.
Sisterm sometimes used [Psychic Transmission] to brainwash the eggs near the rock piles, and sometimes jumped to the construction team led by the soldier Ant Dasha to check the construction progress of the wintering nest, and sometimes carry the eggs that Dasha brought him. , To select the eggs.
Sisterm seemed very busy.
Three days passed.
The first thirteen eggs were successfully brainwashed by him.
A little earlier than Sisterm expected. Most of the eggs would be brainwashed in two days or so, and he would never be suspected. Only a few two eggs really hypnotized him for three days.
After brainwashing the worm eggs, as long as Systrom activates the [spiritual connection] to connect with these worm eggs, these worm eggs will be as if they were thrown into the mother's body, sending extremely reassuring emotions to Systrom. He is regarded as dependent.
Sistem estimated that no matter how long time passed, these worm eggs would not rebel against him.
However, compared to the smooth brainwashing of worm eggs, the progress of searching for different kinds of ant eggs is not very smooth. In three days, Systrom has checked hundreds of ant eggs, but only three kinds of ant eggs have been found.
Most of the ant eggs are worker ants, the other two, one has five, and one has one.
The five ant eggs with a large number should be soldiers ants, but with only one ant egg, Systrom could not tell whether it was a male or a female ant.
In fact, even if this ant egg is a female ant, Systrom would not be satisfied.
What he wants is a female ant and a male ant. Only by possessing these two kinds of ants, can they breed ant offspring safely.
In desperation, Sisterm could only let the soldier ant Dasha continue to find more ant eggs for him to choose, and strive to gather all kinds of ants as soon as possible.
In three days, compared to looking for ant eggs, the worker ant construction team led by the soldier ant Dasha has made great progress.
Especially on the last day, the soldier ant Dasha commanded nearly one hundred and fifty ants, widening all the passages in the wintering lair of Weststrom to a suitable size, and there was no need for too much instruction from Weststrom.
Soldier Ant Dasha seems to be much smarter.
……
Ants are social insects, their living habits are simple and complicated.
said that it is complicated because of the social relationship of ant colonies. Sometimes they will make many behaviors that ordinary people cannot understand. These behaviors usually have a certain meaning.
and simple, it is because everything the ants do has a clear purpose, all for the prosperity of the ant colony.
It is precisely for the overall prosperity of the ant nest. Soldier ants and worker ants, two female ants that do not have the ability to reproduce, live in a harsh and terrible state.
When the larvae become adults, the worker and soldier ants will work hard. They will only eat the minimum amount of food, only to the extent that they can maintain their physical fitness.
Soldier Ant Dasha is the same, it only eats a small amount of food every day, and will not continue to eat.
This situation didn't change until Dasha met Systrom.
After being ordered by Sisterm to eat for a few days until his abdomen was a little broken, the size of the soldier ant Dashou began to grow slowly.
Soldier Ant Dasha's level should have been improved, but because there is no Sisterm's talent [Numerical Code], Soldier Ant Dasha's body growth only changes slowly, and will not suddenly become much larger like Sisterm.
After these days, Dasha's body has grown from 3 cm to 4.5 cm, and this change has not stopped completely, and Dasha's body is still improving step by step.
Because of the level increase, coupled with the use of [spiritual connection] to communicate with Sistrom from time to time, Dasha learned how to think.
Soldier Ant Dasha may be smart because of this.
may be a bit worse than the grasshopper queen, but the soldier ant Dasha obviously has a new trait.
In the process of instructing the worker ants to build the wintering nest of Weststrom, it always likes to hold a peanut-sized translucent stone.
This translucent stone was accidentally found in the forest by Sisterm. It felt very beautiful and picked it up. He didn't know whether it was a crystal, a diamond, or other types of stones.
Sistem found that the soldier ant Dasha seemed to like this stone very much, so he gave it to it.
After that, Dasha would always hold this stone.
Sometimes it would hold a stone and play on the ground, sometimes it would hold the stone to observe the sun or the moon in the sky, without knowing what it was looking at.
In short, Sistrom found that Dasha had become a little spiritual.
……
……
Because of the improvement of Dasha's intelligence, the wintering crypt was very spacious, so Systrom directly requisitioned this one and a half-meter deep crypt.
Brainwashing many ant eggs near the pile of rocks, Sisterm needs to always pay attention to what is happening around him, and he must tighten his nerves at all times, which is very inconvenient.
A quarter of the wintering nest was built by Dasha. Because the passage has been widened, it is just suitable for the temporary use of Sisterm. Some empty rooms inside can also temporarily store food and ant eggs.
As for the construction of the wintering nest, because of the efficiency improvement of the construction team of the soldier ant Dasha, he can completely let Dasha build a brand new crypt.
Sistem decided everything and acted, and soon moved to the crypt with numerous ant eggs.
Two days passed quickly...
The construction team of the soldier ant Dasha methodically built a brand new underground nest for overwintering. It is estimated that the progress of the new nest will reach the crypt requisitioned by Sisterm soon.
And on this day, after continuing to select nearly two hundred ant eggs, Systrom finally gathered all kinds of ant eggs.
has the most basic conditions for breeding a colony of ants.
And in these two days of brainwashing ant eggs' leisure time, Systrom also cultivated a magical crop.
He succeeded in the dark cave, UU reading www. Uukanshu.com used him to digest the fleshy carcass solution and some dead leaf impurities to cultivate a mushroom that is very common here.
This is a very magical mushroom. It is edible and tastes like ordinary mushrooms, with a slight yogurt flavor.
Although it does not possess any magical power, this mushroom is magical and can emit weak fluorescence.
After observation, Sistrom found that the fluorescence of this mushroom only appears during the growth process. When the mushroom stops growing, the glimmer will slowly disappear.
Sistem also couldn't figure out how mushrooms emit light.
Because the growth of this mushroom consumes a lot of nutrients, he just cultivates a small amount in the cave to make his [Dark Vision] work.
Another day has passed.
Among the more than 20 ant eggs brainwashed by Sisterm, one finally successfully hatched into an ant larva. It seems that the growth cycle of this dark brown ant is not very long.
After the ant eggs became ant larvae, the attitude of the ant larvae towards Sistem remained the same and still regarded Sistem as the queen of the race.
Sistem selected some soft fungi and butterfly larvae to feed on these ant larvae.
The ant larvae like the food provided by Sisterm very much, and they grow very fast.
Everything is proceeding steadily in accordance with Systrom's plan.
However, things went wrong in the least likely place--
In the process of using [Spirit Connection] to communicate with Dasha Soldier on this day, Dasha Soldier suddenly sent a message to Systrom: "You, no, the queen..."
"what?"
Sisterm never thought that he would have such a flustered emotion when facing Dasha Soldier Ant.
