Chapter 1: Half a Year Later (1)

When the cold wind reigns on the earth again, it seems to announce the vitality and warmth of the previous time, but time is deceiving life. And the eternal cold is the main theme and the final ending of the universe.

Planets with life are like the only remaining oases in the vast cosmic desert, only these oases have a small environment suitable for survival, and outside the oasis, there are all forbidden areas.

But even these havens are inevitably destructive external forces.

The north wind moves south, and the cold, dry air immediately takes away the vitality of almost all plants. The weak grass died, pinning its hopes on the offspring, and the tall trees could only lie dormant, waiting for this cold night to pass.

Not only plants, but also few animals in this world can fight this devastating cold head-on, just like plants, either die or hide.

But on the stout banyan tree on the south bank of the river, there was an ant wrapped in a thick coat woven of ant silk, moving alone on the branch against the cold wind.

is the main character.

On December 6th, the protagonist leaves the warm lair of "Waterfront City" again and comes to a branch that extends to the north, looking north.

This year, the protagonist once again chooses to spend the winter in "Waterfront City", because it is likely to be the front line of the next war, and this time, the Divine Legion must face a different enemy.

- I'm the dividing line -

It has been half a year since the Divine Envoy King's Legion unified the basin on the south bank of the Great River, and in this small half year, the Divine Envoy King's Legion has rarely experienced a major war, and has been able to concentrate on the development of internal affairs.

The protagonist has completely occupied the old territory of the Big-Headed Ant Kingdom, and in the hilly area near the "Southern City", he has occupied a new territory that the old Big-Headed Ant Kingdom did not control.

Subsequently, on the basis of the original nearly 100 secondary nests, according to the distribution of resources, traffic conditions and topography in various places, he built, destroyed and relocated some secondary nests, and now there are a total of 72 secondary nests in the territory.

The ant claws of all the auxiliary nests were originally damaged a lot in the civil war, but after half a year of recuperation, the total ant claws have now reached 500,000, which is basically close to the heyday of the big-headed ant kingdom.

The rapid recovery of the ant population is due to the abundant harvest of grain in the territory.

After the unification of the south bank of the Great River, the new generation of male ants who had received the systematic education of the Divine Envoy King Legion were distributed to the secondary nests in batches, and they brought with them plant seeds, mealworm eggs and agricultural technology.

Auxiliary nests in various places have begun to develop planting or breeding according to local conditions, and the proportion and scale are determined according to local conditions. It is precisely because of the fixed income from planting and breeding that the secondary nest is no longer completely dependent on unstable hunting and gathering, there is a large surplus of food, and the queen ants are able to reproduce without restrictions, and there is a wave of peak population growth.

It can be said that the protagonist has consolidated his rule over a large number of newly conquered territories by adjusting the ruling males of the sub-nests in various places, and has established a unique administrative system for the Legion of the Divine Envoy King.

And those males who originally belonged to the old big-headed ant kingdom in the civil war, mainly the ruling males of the sub-nests in various places who surrendered, the protagonist gave them all the title of king, and joined the new king meeting formed in the main nest "Qingqiu City", so as to control them.

This new Council of Kings no longer has the nature of the supreme authority of the old Council of Kings, and the legion of the Divine Envoy King is now strictly under the sole leadership of the Divine Envoy King.

The New King's Conference is basically an organization with no coercive power in the nature of the CPPCC, with high positions but no power, and is only used to appease the old forces that have surrendered. And the henchmen of the protagonist such as rolling are also among them, as a means for the protagonist to mix sand.

Most of the males who joined the new king's meeting were not dissatisfied, they were originally the losers in the wedding ceremony, and they could only be the ruling males of the secondary nest for the rest of their lives, enjoying the treatment of kings. It is not unacceptable to be able to spend the rest of your life in the prosperous and safe main nest and enjoy a higher salary.

The protagonist is also happy to pay some high-end food and luxuries to appease these male ants, anyway, now that the God's realm is rich in production, he doesn't care about dozens of mouths that need to be fed high-grade food.

The small number of dissatisfied people do not have their own power and cannot set off any storms.

In addition to the economic boom, what makes the protagonist happiest is that a lot of progress has been made in scientific research.

Because there is no war, the operation of internal affairs is also normal, and there is no need for the protagonist to do everything himself, and the protagonist is often stationed in "Dongyang City" to study and overcome scientific and technological difficulties with the big worker ants of the scientific research group. The little secretary II works as an assistant next to the protagonist, and he also makes rapid progress.

With the inclusion of "Malachite City", the protagonist has obtained a stable source of copper ore, and the little copper consumed by the ants is very small anyway, and the scattered malachite on the surface of "Malachite City" is enough for many years.

After the continuous improvement of copper smelting technology and the reconstruction of blast furnaces, the "Dongyang Castle" has become enough to use pottery fans to cast large or complex bronze objects.

Now, the most cast copper knives and copper jaw knives.

Copper knives are guillotine styles that make it easier for ants to cut through plant fibers or food. The copper jaw knife is both a production tool and a weapon, which is cast according to the shape of the ant's jaw, and comes in different sizes and models.

Ants can choose the right size of the copper jaw knife and put it on their own jaws. The perfectly fitting copper jaw knife can be sharper than the ant's original jaw after polishing, whether it is fighting, hunting or digging, it greatly improves efficiency.

Nowadays, the Divine Messenger King's field troops and garrisons in various places have completely popularized the copper jaw knife, and a certain percentage of ordinary ants are also equipped with copper jaw knives.

It can be said that the popularization of the bronze jaw knife has allowed the Divine Envoy King Legion to enter the Bronze Age, and the previous stone knives have basically been eliminated and are no longer produced.

In addition to weapons and production tools, the protagonist also does not forget to produce some ritual artifacts to show the legitimacy of the divine envoy to the king to receive the ruling power given by the "divine decree".

This is necessary, the old king's council and the queen ant inheritance faction have only been expelled for a short time, and they have not yet been completely destroyed, and their authority is still hidden in the hearts of some ants. The protagonist must eliminate these potential effects as soon as possible.

As a result, the protagonist casts a bronze throne and arranges it in the meeting room of the main nest, "Qingqiu City".

This is the throne of the Divine Envoy King, the seat is similar to the armrest chair of the human world, but the backrest is only the upper half, not the lower half, and the chair legs are very short, which is to adapt to the sitting posture of ants.

When the protagonist is seated on the Bronze Throne, he can extend his abdomen through the empty lower half of the chair, while the front two limbs are resting on the armrests, and the back limbs can reach out from the sides of the chair to the ground.

This bronze throne also has a unique art image!
