Chapter 244: The Reproductive Limit of Alienated Termites

Qin Xu and Old Master Qin were nesting at home, leisurely assembling the architectural model, and Ning Qun, the owner of the online store who created the architectural model by hand, had not slept well for several days.

Ning Qun graduated from the Department of Architecture of Jingcheng University and has been graduating for seven years, but except for the internship in his senior year, he has never worked in a well-known construction company in China after graduation.

His family is wealthy, and in the family business, there are share dividends every year, and his income since he was a child has been used to invest in real estate, and the income from shop rent is enough for him to lie down and live a life without worrying about food and drink.

Therefore, after graduating, Ning Qun was not suitable for the working environment of an architectural design company, and after graduating, he devoted all his energy to developing his hobbies.

He is the vice president of the Haishi Wood Arts and Crafts Association.

When I am not free on weekdays, I open an online store specializing in making architectural models, which not only meets my design requirements, but also sharpens my carpentry skills.

At this time, he was pacing back and forth in the courtyard he had designed and built on the outskirts of Haishi.

He just completed an order.

The design of this order has nothing to do with him at all. He is only responsible for machining each part of the architectural model according to the instructions on the design details.

However, although he did not design it, he couldn't stop thinking about the building after seeing the complete drawing of the architectural model.

Old Master Qin's small mansion in the Immortal Beast Gate, to Qin Xu, a layman, seemed to look similar to the houses on the antique street and the famous palaces in Beijing City.

However, in the eyes of professionals, the difference is huge.

At least, in the opinion of Ning Qun, who has studied the classical architecture of China in detail because of his personal hobby, the finished drawings of this simulated architectural model and the style of the building shown do not belong to any dynasty he knows.

The classical wooden architecture of the Chinese court is actually extremely rare and exquisite, bringing together the efforts of generations of ancient skilled craftsmen.

However, compared with this building, the patterns, carvings, and partitions it shows are more light and beautiful.

As a member of the Wood Art Association, Ning Qun naturally studied the famous mortise and tenon structure in ancient China, which was widely used in brick and wood buildings and furniture to create delicate structures, which could be completed without a single nail.

Ning Qun observed that the parts of the customer's customized architectural model seem to use many connections that are very similar to those of the mortise and tenon structure.

However, it is more complex than the mortise and tenon structure found in ordinary sources.

Ning Qun tried to put these building parts together, but they all failed.

The completion time agreed with the customer was approaching, and Ning Qun was still helpless against the various parts of the building.

After studying for a long time, Ning Qun, who found nothing, could only send the finished building parts.

However, Ning Qun did not give up the idea of continuing to study the building.

In his opinion, the architectural models born from his hands, although they are only models, can still be built into a real building if they are scaled up.

After sending the parts, Ning Qun kept contacting Mr. Qin, a customer of the custom-made building.

During this time, he spent almost all of his time creating the components of the building's model, striving for perfection and perfection.

It's a pity that because he can't do anything about the assembly, Ning Qun can't see this building with his own eyes, and the complete form after installation appears in front of him.

Ning Qun left a lot of words for Qin Xu's account.

In addition to expressing his appreciation for the building, he also expressed his desire to obtain a design authorization for the building.

He wanted to rely on his own craftsmanship to build a normal-sized wooden building according to this architectural model.

During this time, Ning Qun kept imagining the scene in his mind when this building was completed. Replacing that drawing with reality, Ning Qun couldn't help but feel excited.

It's a pity that no matter how Ning Qun confessed his heart in communication, the other party didn't seem to be moved.

Once in a while, I went online, and when I said I was not available, I went offline and didn't come back.

Faced with this unwavering customer, Ning Qun was very anxious.

He struggled for a long time, and after the typhoon passed, he simply packed his luggage and went straight to Lingnan Province along the address left by the order.

Regardless of whether the customer agreed to his request or not, at least let him see the assembled building model before he let go of his thoughts.

Of course, if he could meet the master who designed this building and ask him for advice, then Ning Qun would be even more happy.

When Qin Xu finally assembled the last building model according to Master Qin's instructions, he took out his mobile phone with a sense of accomplishment and took several photos up and down the log-colored building model that occupied a large part of the floor space in his room.

"Old Master Qin, you mentioned last time that alienated termites can make those rabbits in your house?" Qin Xu thought of this and asked.

"It's still early!" Old Master Qin said unhappily as he looked at the bare building, "According to the old inference, it will take at least six generations of alienated termites before it is possible to control the size of the termite nest at the ideal level." ”

"The sixth generation of alienated termites?" Qin Xu thought of the first generation of alienated termites, when he replaced the shell of the nest, he was already the size of a fat cat, and then looked at the exquisite buildings on the ground, and finally guessed a little bit of the habits of alienated termites.

That is, one generation is not as good as the next, and the later the offspring, the smaller the shape of the nest built. "Qin Xu has learned to infer certain information from Old Master Qin's fragmentary language.

"Well, yes. ”

"What about when it's too small to be small?" Qin Xu asked.

"No, about eight to ten generations of alienated termite queens have lost the ability to produce the next generation of queens. Old Master Qin judged based on experience.

Although the alien beasts are all affected by the aura array, it does not mean that their descendants inherit the alienation ability in exactly the same way.

It took nearly two hours to assemble the architectural model, and Qin Xu felt that he was hungry.

He ran to the kitchen refrigerator, took half a watermelon, carried a stainless steel iron spoon and a fruit knife, and carried it back to the bedroom to eat watermelon.

When passing by the door of his grandparents' room, Qin Xu glanced and saw his grandmother sitting on the double-backed sofa in the room watching TV.

On the small coffee table in front of her, there was a large basin, and in the basin were a bunch of plastic bags and boxes of various colors.

The golden retriever puppy squatted next to Grandma Qin Xu's seat and accepted the plastic bag cut into pieces that was placed in her mouth from time to time.

It seems that from a small milk dog to a big strong dog, according to this way of eating is just around the corner.
