Chapter 40: The New Queen Bee
Why hasn't Jon come back yet? Lei Siqian thought groggily, could it be because the flowers of the space began to pollinate like this? If that's the case, there should be a feeling of vitality feedback, how can there be only a sense of sleepiness but no warmth?
Thinking about it, Lei Siqian fell asleep unconsciously. As soon as she fell asleep, the whole space was dark, and just ten minutes after it was dark, Jon entered the space with a ring of wood.
Seeing that the space was getting dark, Jon was rarely startled. Since he entered the Thor space, Lei Siqian has come in awake, so he has never seen the space dark, and he thought that it would not be dark in the space.
Called the main god several times, Lei Siqian didn't answer, Jon thought about it, this beehive can't wait, so he went out and took a portable light in his room, entered the space again, and with the light that could light up, he began to make the beehive that Lei Siqian explained.
There's a reason Jon is in such a hurry.
Rock bees are very fast creatures, they are fast at everything, work fast, lay eggs fast, hatch fast, and die fast. This is also the reason why rock bees are rare, and many times even if they are born, they will die quickly if there are no plants around. And there are plants that can last a little longer as long as they keep enough honey in their hives.
But the honey in the space, Jon is not going to store it in the beehive outside. After all, this is his own private property, and storing it in the beehive outside means that this part of the income will be counted in the income of the base.
Unlike other bees, the queen bee in the hive will not fight each other, nor will it destroy the eggs of other queen bees in advance. When a new queen appears, the new bee will go out to find a new hive, and after settling down, the new queen will lure other worker bees to join the new hive.
If there is no new hive, then the fate of the new queen is only to die. Unless the queen in the old hive dies of old age, the new queen will occupy the old hive.
Jon could see the data that Raysy could see, so he knew that some of the eggs were already hatching time. That's why he rushed to the warehouse to apply for timber so late.
He couldn't use all of this wood to make a hive, he had to keep some wood for something else, so as not to be suspected.
Therefore, his time is even tighter, and on this basis, he cannot make mistakes, and if he does something wrong, it means wasting materials, and it will be more difficult for him to lie.
Fortunately, the interstellar technology is developed, and the tools are more convenient and easy to use in the earth era, and the tools for cutting wood are more "foolish", even ordinary children can use them. Soon Jon had cut the wood and was ready to start building the hive.
Jon only glanced at the blueprint given by Lei Siqian, but he had already memorized it in his head, and soon put the different woods together, not using a single nail, just using the inlay, so that the whole beehive was solid.
Next, there are the honeycomb boards inside, each of which must be polished clean to avoid injuring the rock bees. Jon grinded for one night, and it was only two pieces of grinding. Seeing that it was almost dawn, Jon hurriedly put the polished planks into the beehive.
After not sleeping all night, Jon was already exhausted, but he thought that he would have to take the antidote later, for fear that his body would not be able to stand it, so he hurried to soak in the hot springs for a while.
When the sun came out, Jessica got up and started working, and a few days later were the days of the physical examination at the base, so she was very busy these days and had a lot of things to prepare.
Just when he was at his busiest, Jon knocked on the door and came in, Jessica saw him and smiled at him apologetically: "I'm sorry, I can't take care of you today, only you take the antidote by yourself, just on the experimental bench over there, you look at the model CC0-12, don't take it wrong." ”
Jon nodded, tiptoed to find his antidote on the test bench, opened the cork and poured it, and then the familiar feeling of nausea came to him, and Jon, who had been prepared, ran to the sink and waited silently.
"You're so brave." Although Jessica said that she would not take care of Jon, her eyes were always on him, afraid that something would happen to him. Seeing that he was so well-behaved and didn't need to be taken care of, Jessica also liked it very much. "My brother is older than you, and he refuses to take any medicine easily, and even if he takes a genetic modification drug, he has to cry and make the chickens and dogs jump in the family before he is willing to eat it."
Jon wanted to say something, but suddenly he felt it, and he vomited, and after spitting up, he turned on the faucet and rinsed his mouth, and then said to Jessica: "Everyone is equal, and there is no reason for anyone to take care of anyone all the time." Since I am here to study, my identity is that of a student, and everyone is a student, so why should I delay other people's time. ”
Jessica listened, opened her mouth and froze in place, unable to come back to her senses for a long time. This sentence is generally the voice of the caretaker, and some students are like this, relying on their new enrollment to be a newcomer, always using the newcomer as an excuse, and constantly asking the old students to take care of them.
Jessica knew Jon was sensible, but she didn't expect him to be sensible to this extent. He even understands the psychology of others, and takes the lead not to let others hate him. Could it be that such a child suffered something when he was a child? Have you learned to look at people's faces and do things, that's why you're so likable?
But doesn't it look like it? Jessica finally closed her mouth and smiled at Jon sincerely: "You can say this to me, don't say it in the base, our base is not short of those excellent goods that people don't take care of as soon as they enter the base." ”
Jon smiled innocently, "Well, yes, thank you Jessica." ”
The two didn't communicate any more, and Jon threw up again, realizing that he could endure it until he went back to his room and wouldn't vomit in the aisle, so he took his leave and left. As soon as he left, Jessica dialed the communicator and reported to the person on the other end of the communicator, "He's back...... Well, I've eaten it...... No, he's honest...... I didn't ask anything, I just took the medicine and left...... Uh-huh, I see......"
After hanging up the communicator, Jessica had a puzzled look on her face, but then she shook her head and went about her own business.
After Jon returned to his room, he went to the hot spring in the advanced space, and when the feeling of nausea was completely gone, he began to polish the planks again.
After two days, Jon finally sanded all the planks and put them into the new beehive. At this time, the bee eggs in the beehive are gradually starting to break. In the evening, the first new queen flew out, circled around, and stopped outside the hive that Jon had made.
Jon held his breath, nervous and didn't even dare to breathe, until he watched the new queen fly into his hive, and then jumped up excitedly.
