Chapter 806: The Mystery of Evolution
The insecticides continued to be released, but the red ants in the poisonous fog flew freely, and the ants in other places were also desperately rushing to the poisonous fog.
As more and more ants enter the poisonous mist, more ants evolve into flying ants.
"They change according to the changes in the surrounding environment, and they can no longer use exterminators, so there will be more and more ants that evolve." Gu Mengxun said in a deep voice.
The others didn't speak, but Luo Hu sighed at this time, and Li Shaoyang was also shocked in his heart.
And all the cultivators with spiritual power at the scene felt that the piles of ants in the distance were gathered into a mountain, and they were actually releasing the spiritual power that everyone was familiar with.
Ants can unleash spiritual power? For a practitioner, this can only be done after a small success.
Rahu's figure flashed out, and the next moment he was already suspended above the gate of the scenic spot, looking down at these ants.
It's not that every ant is releasing spiritual power, but this mountain-like ant colony is united, like a whole releasing spiritual power.
Rahu stretched out his palm, and the red spiritual power swirled in the palm of his hand, and finally formed a whirlpool, and slammed down, and the flying ants below had already risen into the air, ready to attack him.
But the swirling red spiritual power with endless coldness directly enveloped the ant hill below, wrapping the ant hill into a frozen ball.
Rahu returned safely with the orb.
Outside the observation car, a group of anti-biochemical teams immediately assembled, and then pushed a huge glass box. This is similar to the common ant nest type of box on the market.
Rahu threw the ants wrapped in the puck into the large glass box, then locked them up, and everyone came out to carefully observe the ants inside.
"We need an ant expert!" Gu Mengxun shook his head and said, "You have to find such a person." ”
The deputy mayor of Shucheng said in a deep voice: "There is an insect enthusiast association in our city, which cannot be regarded as an expert, but I like to study small insects such as ants. ”
The real experts under Gu Mengxun's hands were all dead, and at this time, he could only say helplessly: "How long will it take for them to come?" ”
The deputy mayor immediately said: "I'll find someone to bring them over now, but now there are no helicopters." It's going to take 2 hours, well, I'm afraid it will take three or four hours to get here, and the road is being evacuated now, so it's not easy to walk. ”
Li Shaoyang walked over and whispered to Gu Mengxun: "Let Luo Hu go, he is a cultivator and can fly." ”
Gu Mengxun pursed his lips: "I can't please move him." ”
Li Shaoyang could only reluctantly walk to Luo Hu's side, and Luo Hu smiled when he saw him coming: "I heard it, if that stinky woman gave the order, I would definitely not go, but since it was your request, I will set off and tell me where the expert is." ”
Li Shaoyang breathed a sigh of relief.
After Rahu set off, the ants in the glass box changed again.
Rahu's kind of cold spiritual power has disappeared, and he is just trying to catch these ants, so there is no power to harm in the spiritual power.
But these ants trapped in the glass are showing signs of evolution again.
"This evolution seems to be very slow, and the speed of evolution just now is completely two levels." Gu Mengxun frowned.
Li Shaoyang also looked at the ants in the glass box, and now their wings have turned into sharp bone spurs, and the bubble-like shell on the surface of the body is also slowly changing.
Li Shaoyang pondered, and suddenly understood: "Their evolution mechanism will evolve when they encounter danger to their lives, and because there is no danger of death in the glass box, their evolution is much slower." ”
Gu Mengxun's eyes lit up: "What do you mean?" ”
Li Shaoyang smiled slightly: "Let's arrange a comfortable environment for these ants, their ability to evolve according to danger will be useless." ”
Gu Mengxun clapped his hands and said, "You are so smart." ”
She immediately turned around and asked her men to bring sand and pile it in the glass box, and then she got a bottle of honey and poured it directly over the sand.
No matter how far these red ants have evolved, and whether they have wisdom or not, the habits that have been passed down from instinct will not change, these ants are in the sand as if humans are at home, and with the orange and yellow crystal honey, their evolution immediately stopped, and they began to concentrate on piling up honey.
The situation at the scene is stable, and the ant army in the scenic spot seems to be a lot quieter.
Li Shaoyang saw that the people around him didn't pay attention to this, so he grabbed Gu Mengxun's little hand and pulled her aside.
Gu Mengxun was taken aback: "What are you doing, are you still in the mood to insult me in this situation?" ”
Li Shaoyang's face sank: "What are you talking about, I want to ask you, has your evolutionary spiral worm technology leaked out?" ”
Gu Mengxun's eyes flashed: "What do you mean?" ”
Li Shaoyang pointed at the ants: "Do you still have to quibble in this situation?" Isn't the evolutionary ability of these ants related to your experiments? ”
Gu Mengxun's body trembled, in fact, she had thought of this since she saw the evolution of ants, but she didn't want to admit it.
At this time, the beautiful president stubbornly said: "My experiment will never be leaked." ”
"Then I'll have to tell Rahu." Li Shaoyang sneered: "He hasn't turned the corner yet, but you can't hide it for long." ”
Gu Mengxun's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, "If people are too smart, they won't live long." ”
Li Shaoyang glanced at the distance, and Gu Mengxun's Blood Dragon Squad over there had already leaned over, and the guns in his hands were also loaded.
Li Shaoyang's eyes showed a cold look: "You want to kill me?" ”
Gu Mengxun snorted, and waved his hand to the soldiers in the distance, and those people retreated.
"I admit it......" Gu Mengxun's towering chest rose and fell a few times: "In the first experiment, we used the evolution agent on different species to check the effect of evolution, among which large animals, plants, microorganisms, and marine creatures, all of these failed, only among the insects, only one succeeded." ”
Li Shaoyang looked at her: "What kind of insect is it?" ”
Gu Mengxun sighed: "It's an ant!" ”
Among Gu Mengxun's first batch of experiments, only one ant successfully fused the evolution agent and obtained the evolution ant. Later, Gu Mengxun continued to improve the genes of ants, and finally got the spiral worm.
"What about the original ant?" Li Shaoyang had an ominous premonition when he heard this.
Gu Mengxun hesitated a few times, and finally said helplessly: "Who would have thought that ant had evolved to such a powerful level that it would kill hundreds of people and easily escape from my laboratory." ”
Li Shaoyang frowned: "Aren't you able to control the life and death of those spiral worms and prevent them from evolving too fast." ”
Gu Mengxun shook his head: "I can't do the first ant, there is no device to destroy it at that time." ”
Li Shaoyang shook his head again and again: "I finally understand now, why a monster bug suddenly appeared to assassinate you, it was simply sent by your experimental object to take revenge." ”
As he spoke, something suddenly came to mind: "What type of ant did you experiment with for the first time?" Worker ants, soldier ants or queen ants? ”
Gu Mengxun thought for a moment: "The expert said that it was an ordinary soldier ant, but that ant was very small and very dark, and it looked like a grain of black sand."
Li Shaoyang heaved: "Fortunately, it's not the queen ant, as far as I know, the society of ants exists around the queen ant, and a nest of ants is produced by the queen ant, if the queen ant has the ability to evolve, then she can directly give birth to powerful ants." ”
He thought, "Now it looks like the soldier ant has evolved and transformed its colony. ”
Gu Mengxun smiled: "You have become an ant expert." ”
At this point, Rahu came back and brought with him an old man who wore glasses and looked like a thin monkey.
The old man came over tremblingly, and when he saw the ants in the glass box, his eyes immediately lit up: "What kind of breed is this?" It's really rare. ”
His excited expression is enough to show this person's love for ants.
The deputy mayor of Shucheng introduced: "This old comrade used to be from the Cultural Bureau, and I heard about him when I first went to work, and I loved to play with ants since I was a child. Old horse, you've been playing this for 50 years. ”
The old horse of the Cultural Affairs Bureau smiled: "It's been fifty-five years, and I've been fascinated since I saw the first nest of ants when I was five years old. ”
Luo Hu said impatiently: "You are here to do things, not to reminisce." ”
The deputy mayor walked aside embarrassedly, and the old horse wiped his glasses and looked at the ants carefully: "Well, it's a bit like fire ants, but this body color is brighter red, and it has wings!" ”
"They're what they evolved to be, they weren't like that." Gu Mengxun walked and said, then pointed ahead, there are more ants there, you can take a look.
The old horse turned around and saw an ocean of ant tides, and he was shocked for a minute without speaking.
"This is completely wrong, impossible......" Lao Ma turned around and shook his head: "There is a strict limit to the number of an ant colony, because the queen ant will take into account the food consumption of the entire ant colony, I have observed hundreds of large ant colonies, and the production rate of the queen ant will be adjusted according to the number of worker ants. ”
"After all, ant colonies can't always get enough food, and the queen must survive." The old horse said and pointed ahead: "These ant colonies, if they really gather together, the food consumed every day alone is an astronomical amount. ”
"You mean there can't be so many ants?" Li Shaoyang asked.
Lao Ma nodded: "As far as I can see so far, I'm afraid it will take thousands of large anthills to gather so many ants, and I am sure that this looks like just a vanguard, and there are more ants behind." ”
"What, there's more to come?" Everyone was stunned.
Lao Ma sighed: "These are just soldier ants, in the ant society, the number of soldier ants is generally about one-tenth to one percent of the worker ants, if the worker ants in charge of logistics come out, then it is called scary." ”
In an anthill, the largest number of ants are indeed worker ants, responsible for finding food and taking care of the queen.
"Are there really that many ants?" The deputy mayor couldn't help but ask, "I don't usually see much in the city." ”
Lao Ma snorted: "That's because the ants are all in the crypt, do you know how many ants there are in the world?" ”
He said seriously: "For every 40 babies born on the earth, 700 million ants are born at the same time, and the species of ants alone have reached 20,000, which we humans have discovered. Sometimes there are tens of millions of ants in a super large ant nest, and this is not my nonsense, this is what scientists have proven. ”
Everyone looked at the Longtan Scenic Area together, the red ant waves flowed slowly, covering the entire scenic spot, except for the gate, everything in the scenic spot disappeared, and all turned into a sea of red.
And the old horse's voice is still ringing in his ears: "There are as many stars in the sky as there are ants on the ground......"
