Chapter 259: Worm Honey
"Now at this scale..."
Seeing one after another insects the size of a puppy crawling around from his side, transporting all kinds of food wrapped in amber, Ye Ren rubbed his temples with a headache.
Although he said that let the queen of insects develop here as a temporary residence, he didn't expect that the queen of insects would directly breed so many insects, and sure enough, he still underestimated it a little, and now he communicates with the queen of insects, and the result is that this is not the limit of this guy, if it is not because the ability to dominate the ant colony is too low, and he can't control more insects, the queen of insects can be infinitely violent.
And the reason why there are so many vegetative breeding insects after insects is completely because those corpses in the real yàn room provide a lot of nutrients, not only those broken corpses, but also the corpse of a 03 worm that supports a lot of insects.
The huge and incomparable corpse of the Red Giant, as well as the nutrient solution pipes dug by the insects in all corners of the real room, were enough for the insects to live leisurely for a long time.
"Forget it, take it one step at a time. ”
Shaking his head, Ye Ren didn't think about so many things for the time being, anyway, there is plenty of food or something now, and he came this time mainly to see how the nutrient solution spit out after the worm is effective, as for other things, he really didn't think much about it, and then he just thought about it slowly, after all, he has a lot of things to be busy with recently, and this matter can be put aside for the time being.
"After the worm, a drop of nutrient solution. ”
Ye Ren gave an order to the insect queen.
"Squeak..."The antennae of the insect queen twitched, and it seemed to be a response, and then a strange insect suddenly came out of the side. Holding an emerald green ball in his mouth, he handed it to Ye Ren.
"Hmm..." Ye Ren picked up the ball and looked at it carefully in his hand first.
The spheres, about the size of a fist, are not very regular. There will inevitably be some traces of potholes on it, and Ye Ren pressed it with his hand slightly. I found that the emerald green sphere was a little hard, and I didn't press a pit or destroy it when I pressed it slightly, so I stretched out a small section of the mantis knife with a force on my wrist.
"Whew. ”
The sharpness of the mantis knife can be imagined, Ye Ren felt as if it was gently gliding through the water, and the entire emerald green sphere was cut off into a thin piece.
And Ye Ren gently put this piece into his mouth.
It doesn't taste as bad as expected, this small piece of solid nutrient solution tastes a little good, it actually looks like a certain flavor candy, with a sweet but not greasy taste. Soon melted in his mouth and then tasted a fresh taste, in short, Ye Ren was a little surprised, and Ye Ren could clearly feel that his nutrient library had added a little nutrient reserves, obviously the solid nutrient solution also had a high nutrient content.
"Queen worm, what's in this solid thing?"
Ye Ren tasted this solid nutrient solution, nodded because it tasted good, and then asked.
"Squeak~" The antennae of the insect queen trembled, and Ye Ren felt a flow of information rising in his heart. After tasting it carefully, Ye Ren realized that this nutrient solution was actually solidified into a solid state by a certain ingredient in the amber, which was the colorless liquid that Ye Ren had seen before.
"So..."
Ye Ren nodded, and then thought of something. So he asked: "By the way, Queen worm, I want to ask you something." It stands to reason that your offspring should be able to inherit a certain genetic specialty from you, so can the specialty of this nutrient solution be inherited?"
Hear Ye Ren's words. The queen nodded, and sent a message of affirmation.
And shortly thereafter. Under the summoning of the queen worm, a puppy-sized insect crawled into the nest where the queen of worms was located, barked at Ye Ren twice, and then opened and closed a pincer jaw continuously, and soon squeezed out a drop of liquid from the mouthparts, but Ye Ren took a closer look, the color of this drop of liquid was actually pale green, and it was not as thick as the liquid of the queen worm.
"I'll try..."
Ye Ren lowered his head and stretched out his hand to dip a little directly on the other party's jaws, and then put it in his mouth and tasted it, the taste was a little sour, but it was very fresh, and the aftertaste was mostly sweet, like some kind of sweet and sour green juice, with a unique freshness and fragrance of plants.
"The taste is okay. ”
Ye Ren nodded thoughtfully, and then asked the insect queen to order the alien insect to solidify the liquid.
"Coo-coa-coo-coa-coo-coa-cursor
"I see, there is still a gap between ordinary alien insects and insect queens. ”
Seeing the situation in front of him, Ye Ren nodded: "It seems that ordinary alien insects can only store this honey-like nutrient solution." ”
After speaking, Ye Ren lowered his head again and dipped it, put it in his mouth and tasted it, the taste did not change much, it was still that sweet and sour and refreshing feeling, which was completely different from the taste of honey.
"In this way, after the worm, you secrete a little nutrient solution for me to put it back, I will be useful. ”
Ye Ren took out a jar from behind him and handed it to the insect queen, ordering.
"Squeak!" the queen chirped quietly, then opened its jaws, and a drop of nutrient fluid was secreted from its mouthparts at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then dripped into the jar.
Ye Ren took advantage of this time to go around the nest, and found that in a nest not far from the queen of insects, there were already insects using amber to make a honeycomb-like honey storage structure, each hexagonal honey storage grid is almost the size of a teacup, a hive has hundreds of such grids, of which about half of the grids have been filled with pale green insect honey, and the top layer is covered with a thin layer of amber to seal it perfectly.
"Have you started to transform your food?"
Ye Ren glanced at the dozens of alien insects on the side, they were all constantly eating the corpses wrapped in amber at the moment, and then climbed on top of the hive structure, transformed it into worm rice, spit it into the hive lattice, and finally carefully sealed it with amber.
"It dawned on me that I had made a very interesting race. Seeing these alien insects with such a clear division of labor, Ye Ren suddenly muttered to himself, and then smiled.
Indeed, there are so many surprises from subsystem creatures that Ye Ren wants to buy another subsystem, if it weren't for Ye Ren's knowledge of the fact that he can't chew too much, and the purchase of a subsystem is too expensive, Ye Ren might have really bought it ruthlessly, and Ye Ren had also considered creating a parasitic subsystem similar to the star mark before, which not only improved his combat effectiveness, but also did not have to consider the side effects and uncontrollability brought by the star mark parasitism.
After turning around, Ye Ren returned to the nest where the insect queen was, and at this time the insect queen had almost filled the jar, and the whole bottle was rippling with emerald green liquid, which was irradiated by Ye Ren's fluorescence to exude a very beautiful color, like a piece of crystal flawless jade.
"I'll take this back first, and I'll pick you up and leave here later, remember to get ready. ”
Ye Ren put away the jar and reminded the queen worm: "Try to deal with everything that can be processed to the most streamlined state, otherwise it will be a little inconvenient." ”
"Squeak......
The queen screamed a little sadly, and her huge body crawled over and rubbed on Ye Ren's body affectionately, and the tentacles of the two thick arms trembled slightly.
"Well, I'll be with you for a long time after a while. Ye Renquan was a little reluctant when the other party was a little reluctant, so he stretched out his hand and touched the smooth and warm skull behind the insect, and then brought a jar full of nutrient solution, a solid nutrient solution and a small bottle of insect nectar secreted by ordinary insects, and then turned around and left.
After leaving the cave where the insect queen was, Ye Ren degraded the firefly genes again, and then Tong Guò's plane flew back to S City that day.
However, because of the time spent waiting for the plane and the time consumed by taking the plane, after Ye Ren returned to S City, the time of the day had passed, and when night fell, a cold moon hung high in the sky, exuding a soft light.
Ye Ren didn't go home today, but went directly to the basement with these things.
"Yo. ”
Back in the basement, Ye Ren looked at the two girls who were about to eat dinner, and stretched out his hand to say hello.
"Ye Ren, you're back. After Dai Lin saw Ye Ren, she also said hello, got up to greet her, and handed over a piece of pizza by the way: "I just sent it, do you want to eat it?"
"Thank you. ”
Ye Ren didn't refuse, he directly opened his mouth and grabbed the pizza in one bite, then ate it in two bites, and handed over the two bottles and a piece of solid nutrient solution in his hand: "Here, this is today's result, you can try the ingredients later, whether it can replace the nutrient solution." ”
"Okay. ”
Dai Lin nodded, then took the thing and walked to the corner where it was used for the real yàn, placing it on the table over there.
And Ye Ren walked in front of Bai Mengmeng, looking at the slender girl in front of her who was a little confused, at the moment she was eating the pizza in her hand in a daze, but it seemed that her interest was not very great, she felt a little absent-minded, and her eyes were always in a state of dissociation.
