The protagonist's jaw is wide open, and his surprise is palpable. Even though there have been various speculations, when the other party appears in front of him in this image, it is still a big surprise to the protagonist.

The welcoming procession of "Stone Pillar City" also stirred, and the comers who gradually appeared from the hillside had a subversive costume.

In the distance, a huge unicorn appeared in sight, with a pavilion made of wood, fiber, and unknown materials on its back, firmly tied to its carapace.

On the head of the unicorn is two riders, who skillfully control the unicorn through the reins.

The difference between the size of the worker ant rider and the unicorn fairy is so great that the protagonist is reminded of a knight riding an elephant, and there is no such disparity in size between humans and elephants.

It's not just the giant unicorn that is used as a pack beast that is shocking.

In the gazebo on the back of the unicorn fairy, there is an ant in costume. In size, it was an ant queen, with a headdress made of small dried flowers wrapped around her antennae, which was worn like a laurel wreath on her head. Her body was also covered by an extremely thin layer of almost transparent fabric.

Behind the queen in a hat and a garment, there are two tall and burly soldier ant warriors, these soldier ant warriors are the same as the worker ant riders, but this is in line with the three views of the ants.

And behind the beetle, there were fifty warriors, both soldier ants and worker ants, and these warriors, as well as the two samurai on the beetle, had something strange on their big jaws, which seemed to be sharp flint glued on.

As soon as the well-dressed queen appeared, the protagonist's jaw dropped almost in shock. He had imagined that this group of big-headed ant "remnants" had a high level of civilization, but the other party's "advanced" was still much more than he imagined.

Not to mention the huge unicorn fairy as a rock, not to mention the skillful control skills of the two worker ant drivers, or the complex craftsmanship embodied in the gazebo on the back of the unicorn fairy, just the flower crown and thin clothes on the queen's body reflect exquisite skills.

The corolla looks like it is woven from sun-dried flowers attached to grass stems, and it is not difficult to collect the flowers and dry them, but it is extremely difficult to weave them together with the physiological structure of the ant's six arthropods, each with only one "finger" at the top.

People have five fingers on each hand, which is mainly determined by genetics and evolution.

If we go all the way back to the late Devonian period, 350 million years ago, we can see the total finned fish of that time. As a result of seasonal droughts, land areas have expanded, rivers and lakes have periodically turned into foul ponds and vast mudflats, and sea levels have fallen, requiring some fish species to evolve the ability to breathe, have "lungs" (swim bladders), and have strong even-finned crawling abilities on land to adapt to their environment.

Some total-finned fishes have this ability, and they gradually adapt to their environment and evolve a series of evolutionary changes. Finally, certain total-finned fishes evolved into the first group of amphibians, whose fins evolved into terrestrial five-fingered appendages. All species that subsequently evolved mostly from amphibians have the characteristics of five-fingered forelimbs.

These five fingers, inherited from our ancestors, are a miracle of nature's creation. The five fingers make up a whole, and the thumb and the other four fingers can be pinched together to form a palm, so that they can be pinched together to hold things. So the thumb is the most important, if you don't have the thumb just four fingers, it is unstable to hold things, and the strength will be very weak.

The other four fingers function similarly, they all form a palm with the thumb, but in terms of strength and distance from the thumb, the second finger is a little more important than the third finger, and the importance of the other fingers is in order.

Many delicate and complex movements, such as knitting a sweater, holding a weapon, using a mobile phone, etc., require five fingers to work together, and at most the ring or little finger can be left untapped. But once there are fewer than three fingers, many movements cannot be performed.

An ant's pair of large jaws and three pairs of arthropods are only equivalent to four pairs of human fingers, and even with the addition of flexible jaws, the flexibility of ants is far less than that of human hands. Considering that ants also need to move or support their bodies, at least one or two pairs of arthropods cannot be put to work. As a result, individual ants are far less dexterous than humans, and even less dexterous than many amphibians, reptiles, or mammals.

Therefore, even the simple work of weaving hemp rope, the protagonist can only be handed over to multiple ants to complete together, two ants are needed for a double-strand rope, three ants are needed for a three-strand rope, and so on.

But braiding rope is only the simplest and roughest weaving process, and weaving a flower crown cannot damage the delicate dried flowers, and it is no less difficult to wrap up the extremely thin grass stalks about the same thickness as the ant's antennae, which is no less difficult than asking a muscular man to embroider.

If it is said that the main difficulty of weaving a flower crown is that it requires dexterous weaving, the technical content is still in a relatively primitive category, and most of the Paleolithic tribes in human history can also complete this work.

Weaving a piece of cloth and then making it into a garment is undoubtedly a skill unique to the civilized world.

Although the protagonist can't see the specific material and processing technology of the tulle costume on the queen because of the distance, this is definitely not a natural material, but an artificial (ant-made) material that has been post-processed.

The history of textiles is not very long.

Since humans are naked apes, their hair is sparse and they are unable to effectively maintain their body temperature on their own during the colder seasons. So humans learned to make clothes very early.

For example, 50,000 years ago, the cave people on the top of the mountain used bone needles to sew animal skin clothes to protect against the cold. However, this kind of animal skin clothing uses natural animal skin materials, and only needs to be used after simple processing.

The earliest fragments of kudzu cloth that have been unearthed in China show that our ancestors began to weave kudzu cloth for clothing in the Neolithic period five or six thousand years ago. Another example is the half-cut silkworm cocoon found in the Neolithic site, and the silk fabrics before 4,700 years ago, indicating that our ancestors were able to use silkworm silk for weaving at that time. Around the same time, during the Neolithic period, our ancestors also began to use wool fibers to make wool cloth and blankets for clothing and protection from the cold.

From the above examples, it can be seen that textiles appeared about 5,000 years ago, and the appearance of textiles marks the beginning of 5,000 years of Chinese civilization and is a sign that civilization has entered the dawn.

And now the queen ant of the mysterious big-headed ant "remnant" who has come to the protagonist is wearing exquisite handmade products and textiles, and comes to the protagonist in one by one.
