Chapter 146: The so-called gold-eating ants

Gold-eating ants?

Everyone looked at each other, and Gao Li was also at a loss, he had never heard of this. Only Iron Hoof slapped his face violently: "Eh! I said why there are traces of this kind on many iron ingots recently! I thought that those guys who were delivering the goods secretly gave us inferior iron ingots, and I scolded them last time! I didn't expect it to be gold-eating ants!"

"What is that?" asked Zheng Fei. Zheng Fei, as the official of the Gewu Division, has been involved in this kind of strange things, since he said yes, then it should be.

Zheng Fei said: "The gold-eating ant is a kind of demon ant, about an inch long, which feeds on various minerals, especially iron ore. No matter what minerals you eat, you will use those mineral metals as your shell. Therefore, it is also possible that some gold-eating ants can gnaw iron tools. ”

It's possible?

Gao Li's eyes widened, the gold-eating ant in front of him was gnawing on the steel sword! Doesn't that mean that this bastard's teeth are stronger than the steel sword?

Isn't that right?

Isn't that right?

This gold-eating ant, its teeth, are alloyed?

"Excuse me, how do you deal with them?" Ironhoof hurriedly asked.

"It's not easy to deal with, gold-eating ants themselves are demon ants, and they are very good at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. And they are not afraid of toxins, and general poisons are also ineffective against them. In particular, their burrows are generally very deep, and if there are gold-eating ants here, it will be even more difficult to deal with if there are also queen ants who have settled. Zheng Fei said.

"Ahh

"Unless, when a pond is built here, the gold-eating ants themselves are extremely heavy and are not good at crossing the water, so the gold-eating ants never approach the water source. It doesn't hurt to place the shelves in the middle of the pool. Zheng Fei said.

Iron Hoof, a pair of huge bull's eyes, immediately appeared in front of Gao Li: "Boss! Brother, let's dig it!"

Gao Li pondered for a moment, smiled slightly, and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, my lords, put aside the gold-eating ants, are you satisfied with my steel swords?"

The two generals glanced at each other, nodded, and said, "Then they are naturally satisfied, Li Zhuang's swords, guns, swords, and halberds are of excellent quality, and the sergeants are all satisfied." ”

Gao Li smiled: "That being the case, I think it should be no problem for me Li Zhuang to meet the weapons of my martial arts soldiers in the future, right?"

This was asked by the soldier iron official, and the official nodded and said, "Originally, I thought that it would be impossible for Li Zhuang to supply weapons to the entire Wu country. But as soon as I can see that miracle today, I will not have to worry about it, and I will report the matter when I go back, and after the approval of the General Directorate, I can conclude a contract. ”

Sending people away, Gao Li was extremely excited in his heart. Instead, the iron hooves clung to his two horns, with a sad expression.

"Brother, boss, brother, I know it's a big deal, and you should be happy. But if the scourge of gold-eating ants is not eliminated, our business will be ruined! These guys ate a mine clean up in the past, causing the entire mine to collapse! There were heavy casualties!"

It seems that the old cow knows how powerful the gold-eating ants are.

"Brother, I have another plan for gold-eating ants, let's not worry, let me see if my idea is correct. "Gao Li Dao.

"Plans?" he had heard the word since he had known Gao Li, and every time it came with it, it was a surprise.

"Brother, there is no good way for anyone in the whole world to do this thing like gold-eating ants. And these little things are extremely vicious, one is unlucky, and even invites revenge. Ironhoof whispered, as if he was afraid of being heard by the gold-eating ants.

"Don't worry, my plan is relatively simple, those who do great things, peace is precious. Gao Li smiled.

That night, Gao Li found Xiu'er and Chu Miaoyi, and Gao Li needed to use Xiu'er's means to accomplish one thing - to catch gold-eating ants.

Xiu'er and Chu Miaoyi were not very old, and they were full of curiosity about everything, and as soon as they heard about this task, they suddenly came to their senses and temporarily gave up the experiment of spider silk and undead. Gao Li didn't even know that his action temporarily saved Xiu'er's life in the experimental shed.

Gao Li and they were ambushed in the treasury, next to those swords. There are so many weapons around, but this sword is the most devoured, which means that there must be something special about this sword that can make gold-eating ants fall in love. Gao Li is squatting here, and there are also a few silk spiders from Xiu'er.

It is not realistic to catch ants with human hands, especially demon ants, and silk spiders are different. Although their current spider work is to spin silk, the instinct as a hunter is in the genes, and Gao Li's purpose is to use the hunting ability of these silk spiders to catch a group of gold-eating ants.

Gold-eating ants are demon ants that can sense true qi. So they didn't dare to get too close, so they could only wait for news from afar. This kind of shriveled waiting is boring and boring, and there is no good way to do it. After a long while, Xiu'er's eyes suddenly lit up. Said: "It's done!"

Sure enough, a silk spider ran back, dragging a spider silk ball. It didn't take long to see the spider ball struggling.

Gao Li had already prepared a water dungeon, the silk spider ate the spider silk, and the gold-eating ants immediately fell into the middle of the water dungeon. Gold-eating ants can't fly, and they are surrounded by water, so they can only circle around in the center of the water prison. Gao Li, Xiu'er, and Chu Miaoyi met their heads and approached the water prison and stared at the huge gold-eating ant.

Under the AR vision, the gold-eating ant was full of a slight true qi, perhaps because it was too small, Gao Li couldn't see any qi sea or demon pills and other structures, just looked at its whole body glowing slightly. Turning off the AR vision, this ant is silver all over, with a pair of big teeth glowing with dazzling colors. This should be the original color of steel, Gao Li is very curious, when the gold-eating ants eat the metal, can they ensure that the metal is not oxidized?

Perhaps enraged, the gold-eating ants began to gnaw at the ground of the water dungeon, but the dungeon was made of a white glazed dish, the enamel was smooth and hard, and the large teeth of the gold-eating ants slid across the disk, leaving a few traces, but that was all.

After a while, the silk spiders returned one after another, and a total of more than 30 gold-eating ants were caught!

Support!

Gao Li decided to accept it when it was good, ant animals have a characteristic, if you push it too much, they will think that this place is not suitable for survival, and the whole relocation will affect Gao Li's plan.

With these more than thirty gold-eating ants, Gao Li immediately began his own experiment.

He had to know how hard the teeth of these gold-eating ants were.

The water prison was replaced by a large one, and Gao Li didn't dare to touch these guys who could bite off the edge of the quenched steel, and asked the silk spider to help transfer. Then, in the water prison, Gao Li put down some steel pieces that had been prepared long ago. These are the things that were left over from the experiments carried out by the workshop, and each piece of steel has a number on it, which means a mark. The higher the number, the higher the hardness.

After putting down the steel plates, at first the gold-eating ants only exchanged information with each other with their antennae, and did not touch each other. After a long time, as if sensing that there was indeed no threat, they assigned their respective tasks and went to different steel plates. Immediately, Gao Li heard a series of extremely fine metal being crushed.

Gao Li stared at one of them carefully, because the gold-eating ant was gnawing on the highest steel plate.

There was a soft click, and a pair of large teeth of the gold-eating ants gnawed off a piece of crumb. In Gao Li's AR sight, this gold-eating ant didn't use any true qi at all! In other words, this guy actually used his own strength and the strength of his teeth to bite down! Its pair of teeth were not damaged in the slightest!

Soon, all the gold-eating ants completed the first round of tastings. Subsequently, they gather together, their tentacles touching each other and exchanging information. Then, they went straight to one of the steel plates!

There is only one piece of steel, and this piece of steel is neither the highest nor the lowest. It's a medium-high position!

It turns out that these gold-eating ants still have their favorite labels?

The steel plate label basically corresponds to the carbon content, and this thing seems to determine the taste of gold-eating ants?

After the gold-eating ants bite off the metal, Gao Li thought that they dissolved the metal through something like acetic acid. However, Gao Li saw that the true qi in the head of the gold-eating ant surged, and the metal fragment also disintegrated. Along with the true qi, it is deposited on the bones of the gold-eating ants!

The three of them stared at each other for a while, their eyes aching and tears streaming down their faces, but their mood was extremely excited.

Being able to clip a steel plate means that the hardness is much higher than that of steel, which means that the teeth of the gold-eating ants may be some kind of alloy! It may even be the bones of the whole body......

Why don't you melt these gold-eating ants!

Eh, I'm so angry, I really want to find an ant nest and raise a nest by myself! Maybe the future of alloy gameplay will depend on these little things!

Gao Li's eyes lit up as he stared at the gold-eating ants, this is a treasure!
