Chapter 225: Recipe for Alienated Termites
In addition to the eggs of the child, the self-care ability of the termite queen is basically zero.
Don't look like a caterpillar, but compared to a caterpillar that can crawl and gnaw leaves on its own, the termite queen can basically only open her mouth for food, lying down and waiting for the worker ants to feed.
In nature, the biggest challenge for termite queens is surviving the hard hunger before the first worker ants are able to feed.
Qin Xu went downstairs to have dinner, and when he came back, he found that this alienated ant queen had already begun to lay eggs.
After the other two termites, they were in a dormant period and did not move.
If it weren't for the fact that they would move occasionally, Qin Xu would have thought that they would not adapt to the sudden changes, and said goodbye to the world.
The eggs have not yet hatched, the larvae have not yet grown, and the obese queen naturally cannot count on them.
At this time, dozens of termite worker ants brought out by Master Qin from the termite nest were needed.
Letting them out, they instinctively guarded next to the termite queen, and it seemed that no one needed to assign the task, and after a few circles with each other, dozens of termite worker ants quickly found their jobs.
Ten of them picked up the eggs laid by the termite queen and carried them to the corner. They keep watch over the termite queen and collect the eggs laid by the termite queen.
There were also more than a dozen termite worker ants, who quickly found the vegetable leaves that Qin Xu had thrown in the box, and directly pounced on the vegetable leaves to collect food.
The remaining termites are ......
directly bit the cardboard box that Qin Xu gave them as a nest.
It seems that they are not satisfied with the rudimentary shelter provided by humans and have begun to build their own nests.
This carton is a courier box that you don't want, and Qin Xu didn't care. However, in order to prevent them from messing up the surrounding environment, Qin Xu felt that it was better to get them a plastic box that they couldn't bite into.
However, when a new batch of termite worker ants hatches out and grows rapidly, Qin Xu's plan is of little value, and it is a bit redundant.
"For the next two days, you can feed them the usual leaves, and after two days, you'll need to add something special to build a nest for them. ”
Old Master Qin floated out from behind Qin Xu, stared at the alienated ant queen seriously, and suggested.
"Eh, is it wood or something?" Qin Xu asked as he thought of the biting range of ordinary termites.
"Including, but not limited to. Old Master Qin nodded, shook his head again and said, "You can try any of your materials, plastic bags, plastic boxes, discarded old clothes, old cotton quilts that you don't know how to dispose of, obsolete electronic products, and the garbage you have at home can be tried for them." ”
After listening to Old Master Qin's description, Qin Xu was speechless, and after thinking for a long time, he could only complain: "The teeth are really good." ”
"Yes, the aura array on the queen's body seems to be normal at present, then, according to the effect of this aura array, the termites born after its alienation have a stronger ability to bite than ordinary termites before the alienation, and at the same time, their accompanying caterpillars have also improved their ability to digest various substances. "Master Qin's knowledge level is becoming more and more integrated with the biology of modern society.
At least now, at Qin Xu's level, don't want to show the superiority of modern civilization in front of him.
At the beginning, when I saw the car for the first time, the immortal cultivators who were full of disdain for this strange appearance of iron pimples, with the support of a steady stream of reading, were already able to talk eloquently about the advantages and disadvantages of the manufacturing level of different automobile manufacturers.
If the only thing that hasn't changed. Is it that Old Master Qin still doesn't like to sit in a dull car, and likes to sit in the rearview mirror or on the roof.
"Okay," Qin Xu scratched his head strangely and said, "This direction of alienation is too strange, why did it evolve into Xi's appetite for eating strange things? Isn't fresh plant leaves bad? Won't eating plastic bags, rags, and other things make you indigestion?"
Old Master Qin rolled his eyes at Qin Xu's stupid student's question and said, "Who told you that these things are for eating?"
"You!" Qin Xu glared and replied bluntly.
Isn't this what Old Master Qin just said a minute ago, that he would feed them all kinds of messy things in two days?
Old Master Qin inhaled, exhaled, and tugged at the ears of the natal rabbit to keep himself calm.
"I said give these things to them, not give them all food. Old Master Qin patiently explained, "They sift through the edible parts, and the rest will become the materials for building the ant nest." ”
"Oh!" Qin Xu suddenly realized, "So that's the case, I just said that they eat indiscriminately like this, won't they really eat bad stomachs! ”
"The reason why the old man chose termites as the object of alienation is precisely because even ordinary termites have a strong digestion ability that surpasses many insects, and it is this ability that makes them become pests that everyone shouts at in the eyes of humans. Old Master Qin squinted his eyes, floated in front of Qin Xu, and pointed to the termite worker ants who had already gnawed some small round holes in the cardboard box and said, "However, in the eyes of the Immortal Beast Master, this kind of creature with outstanding abilities is more worthy of cultivation than a mediocre one. ”
"So, the direction of their alienation is still related to their very good teeth, right?" Qin Xu guessed, could it be that Old Master Qin commanded them to bite out a model of a fat rabbit on a wooden stake?
"Well, it's not, it's not. Old Master Qin thought for a while and said.
Qin Xu had long been accustomed to Old Master Qin's half-spoken style anyway, and he didn't continue to ask.
In terms of personal preference, Qin Xu didn't have much interest in these termites.
The toys he grew up with were either sticks or toy guns, as well as all kinds of cars, even homework paper, which could be folded into pistols and played gunplay games with neighbors and partners.
And dolls and this kind of thing, he has never been interested in.
What he is more concerned about now is the rule of controlling the beast's heart.
Today, when he was squatting in the warehouse waiting for Master Qin, he was wondering what kind of animal was suitable as a beast that controlled the heart of the beast.
It's not okay to be too fat.
Too docile can't be.
The combat effectiveness is too poor.
It's not good to have too poor physical strength.
The life span is too short.
It's too hard to raise, and it's even worse.
Rare and protected animals? That's still not good.
He hopes to find a good partner who can accompany his fellow grassroots police officers.
When it is fierce, it can scare people.
When you are furious, you can use it as an effective combat force to cooperate with the police to encircle and destroy suspects.
Be acutely aware of an attacker.
According to this standard, Qin Xu opened the encyclopedia of online animals and screened and excluded them one by one.
