Chapter 144: Stupid, Big Black, Coarse

Under the warm winter sun, a golden ant is sitting at the head of the city of [Xinyang City], making a very anthropomorphic one-handed cheek movement...

Since the color turns yellow, the protagonist finds that he is not afraid of the cold at all, even outdoors in winter, as long as it is not snowing and not windy, he is wearing a down jacket.

It's just that he can't understand why he became like this.

Not far away, thousands of paving ants are densely lined up in a long rectangle, which is the construction site, they are digging this section of the canal [Xinyangcheng], a long river channel has begun to take shape.

Sitting alone, there is no threat of fierce insects outdoors in winter, and the protagonist does not need to be in the nest to the messenger who comes with instructions to the endless stream, and can be alone for a while.

But she thought about it for a long time, and she never remembered when she was infected by parasitic bacteria.

The Divine Envoy King's legion fought against the parasitic forces many times, fighting when they first returned to [Dongyang City], and they also fought in the southern hills, and later chased them to the swamps to fight.

But the protagonist can't remember a time when a parasite had ever been close to him, or even burrowed into his body.

Ask the other ants, not even the oldest stag elephants, beetle bulls, and centipedes.

And in the protagonist's own mind, there seems to be a little image in the ambiguity, but he can't grasp the clues, as if this memory is locked.

It's not the first time that the protagonist has this feeling of being locked in memory, but what was locked before was some knowledge of his past life, and when he encountered a familiar scene, he would pop up.

The protagonist can feel that the memories of this time, the memories of this life, were locked shortly after that event.

Did the parasitic bacteria that had previously inhabited my body dry it? Parasites seem to be able to secrete something that can interfere with and control the brain, and the parasitic ants are manipulated by this.

But why is it okay for me to be parasitized?

The protagonist himself knows that his thinking and behavior are normal, no different from before.

Suddenly, a terrible thought came to me: I thought I was the same as before, but in fact, I was not the same as before, and it was the parasite that made me feel that I was still the same as before. Actually I've been taken over!?

The protagonist jumps in fright, but then, he laughs again in his head.

Hook three, four strings, five, hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxyfluorine, neon, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, argon, potassium, calcium, any object must maintain a uniform linear motion or a state of rest until an external force forces it to change its state of motion...

Haha, the parasite won't know this, I'm still me. The protagonist finally settles down!!

In addition, the protagonist is unclear why the parasite behaves so weakly on his body.

According to the information package from "Tianxian", the explosion accident of the test cannon at that time led to the casualties of the protagonist, 6 members of the artillery crew, and 3 male ants, and the protagonist was unconscious at the time, although there were no obvious external injuries on his body, and everyone was frightened.

After being sent back to the dormitory, the "Heavenly Immortals" took the Praetorian Guards to serve, and the spade elephant temporarily commanded the work of the whole city, and the god made the king's army not chaotic.

And everyone has nothing to do about how to treat the protagonist, but to wash the body and wait for the protagonist to recover naturally. The protagonist is lying down and not dead, but remains motionless and unconscious.

From the next day, the protagonist slowly begins to have parasitic bacteria on his body, these parasites are very weak, much smaller than the other parasitic ants, and many of them die just after they emerge.

The "immortals" hurriedly followed the previous method of treating patients infected with parasitic bacteria, carefully pulled out the mycelium with large jaws, and used torches to slightly burn the wound to disinfect.

In the past, many patients treated in this way were not killed by parasites, but were killed by infections after burns.

But the protagonist has a big life, not only did he not die, but he didn't even show up for burns.

Although the color of the carapace of the Divine Angel King changed slightly, it was not obvious in the dimly lit room, and the ants did not care if they found it - they were used to distinguishing objects by smell, and sight was only an aid.

It's like a human being facing a familiar friend doesn't feel like he's not him just because he dyed his hair from black to blonde.

According to the description of "Celestial", the protagonist thinks that he may have been infected by parasites before, but he has always been healthy, and parasites cannot find a chance to germinate and control themselves.

When he was knocked unconscious due to the explosion, the parasitic seeds finally found a chance and began to germinate, trying to control themselves.

But I don't know why, my body is not controlled, maybe it is the "immortals" who have treated them properly, after all, there have been patients who have been cured like this before. Although this does not explain why the mycelium that emerges from his body is in a half-dead state.

In short, except for the fact that the color of his carapace became golden, and then he was not afraid of the cold, and now the protagonist doesn't feel that he has any abnormalities.

This is not a bad thing, at least the protagonist can now be the same as the paving ants, relatively free to go out on a winter day when the weather is not bad, and if you put on a cold ant felt, you are not afraid of a slightly windy weather!

Despite a test gun, the protagonist's determination to continue researching experimental firearms does not waver.

Throughout the winter, the Divine Envoy King's army tried to cast more than a dozen iron cannons, ranging from millet to dried soybeans, and accumulated a lot of experience in casting and testing cannons.

As winter gradually transitions to spring, the ants are slowly starting to be able to go outside, and the Divine Messenger King's legion has begun to test the cannon outside the city when it is warm at noon.

The vast majority of iron cannons have never had any accidents, and a few still have explosions from time to time, causing certain casualties, so that male ants, divine ant ants and divine worker ants dare not approach these cannons.

It was not until later that a new technology was developed: adding more accelerant in the blast furnace ironmaking, and adding more scrap iron that needed to be recast, which could improve the fluidity of the molten iron, and the cast iron cannon was not easy to explode.

Thicken the walls of the cannon properly, and then cast a few thin iron belts, so that the iron belts are clamped with a gravity hammer at the end of the barrel where they are most likely to burst, can also reduce the chance of exploding, and even if the chamber is blown up, it can also reduce its force.

In addition, after the iron cannon is overheated, it is best to wait for it to be naturally air-cooled, not water-cooled, otherwise it will easily explode or break.

After a multi-pronged approach, the Divine Envoy King's legion finally got a more usable cannon.

Although these cannons were still very primitive, they were complex breech guns, bulky and difficult to transport, and the shells were still solid stone or iron shells.

But the protagonist looks at these stupid and coarse guys, and he still likes it from the bottom of his heart!
