Chapter 168: The Technology of the Divine Envoy King's Legion (1)

The Minor Secret II arrives in the protagonist's dormitory, where a female ant and a male ant share a room.

But don't make any unhealthy, colored, inappropriate associations based on biological instincts.

Although Xiao Mi II is a female ant, she is a large worker ant, and like ordinary worker ants, she is basically infertile.

Although if the hormone suppression of the queen ant is released, the large worker ants can also carry out parthenogenesis and give birth to a replica offspring that is exactly the same as their own genes.

Like Xiao Mi II, he was born by Xiao Mi II in this way, so it can be said that Xiao Mi II is the same individual as Xiao Mi at the genetic level. However, the experiences and memories between the two are completely different, so they can still be regarded as different individuals.

At the beginning, the little secretary was because the queen ant of [Dongyang City] disappeared, and she lost her suppression and matured quickly. And now there have been hormones secreted by the queen ant in [Dongyang City] to suppress the sexual maturity of other ants, and basically Xiao Mi II can still be regarded as an infertility patient, and she does not yet have the physiological conditions for reproduction.

As for the protagonist, although he is a male ant with reproductive ability and has also participated in the wedding flight ceremony, his aesthetics determine that he has never planned to be with an ant ooxx.

Although the protagonist is also curious, he is now very different from other ants, including visually, tastefully retains human characteristics, and the breathing method is not the passive breathing of insects, and the strength is still very large, and he can enter the state of "gods descending to earth". What is the reason for this discrepancy?

Is it because your body structure is different from that of other ants? The protagonist can't dissect himself and verify it. However, he is wondering, if he does have a special physiological structure, can he pass it on to the next generation?

Therefore, the protagonist has an experimental plan, which is one of the reasons why he returns to [Dongyang City].

Of course, this experiment has nothing to do with Little Secretary II, and the protagonist calls Little Secretary II over, and there is still a scientific research business to negotiate, mainly to point out the next scientific research direction.

Now let's sort out the current level of technology of the Divine Envoy King Legion, they have mastered the following main technologies:

First, the technology of using fire

This is a technique that the protagonist has mastered for a long time before the Divine Envoy King legion, perhaps hundreds of years. And according to the information provided by the Floating Leaf King, the Paving Ant Barbarian Kingdom also has fire.

But these fires, according to myths and legends, are obtained from natural wildfires and are tended by specialized ants and are never extinguished all year round.

Neither the big-headed ant nor the paver ant has mastered the technology of starting a fire.

Although the protagonist knows the theoretical methods of drilling wood for fire and flint for fire, it is obvious that with the size and strength of the ants, they cannot make fire in these two ways.

Currently, the protagonist wants to use fire outside of [Blue Hill Castle] and can only transport fire in a container made of a special nut shell, which is a simmering device similar to a fire pot.

Second, pottery technology

This is closely related to the technology of using fire.

The clay resources needed to make pottery are widely distributed and can be found in almost every ant nest. The technique is also relatively simple, the ants only need to shape the clay and then roast it by the fire.

Because the pottery made by the ants is very small, thin, and there are ants to take care of it at any time, the firing power is very high, and it is not easy to break or not fire enough like the original pottery of humans.

This technique is currently widespread in many nests where there are already fires, but the largest and most sophisticated pottery made is [Dongyang Castle].

At present, the pottery of the Divine Envoy King Legion mainly includes large and small covered clay pots for storing liquids, pottery tables and stools, tools and knives made of pottery shards, and pottery slings and ammunition, which have greatly improved the lives of ants.

3. Weaving and textile technology

This technique is mainly taught by the protagonist and the Big-headed Ant Remnant.

Before the big-headed ant kingdom, there was only a simple technique to make fluffy felt. Later, the big-headed ant remnants taught more sophisticated felt-making technology, which can make ant silk and different fibers into thick, waterproof and windproof felt.

The protagonist teaches them another weaving and weaving technique, such as the technique of using simple stakes and multiple ants dancing to entangle fibers together to make ropes.

The rope making technique is simple, the hardware requirements are not high, and the use is also many, so it is also quickly popularized in various nests.

For example, the rope bridge in [Waterfront City] and the protective nets of the nests in the southern swamp are inseparable from the use of ropes.

Weaving methods, such as weaving protective nets, are also taught by the protagonists. Ants can use the method of cooperating with each other to weave some nets with large holes, such as protective nets, fishing nets, and net pockets for things, but they still have the power to make fine textiles, such as cloth, ant silk, etc.

The protagonist has also been conceiving a loom style suitable for ants, and has some abdominal sketches based on the early human vertical loom, which is also a project that he instructed the research team of Little Secretary II to focus on.

Fourth, stone tool processing technology

Stone tools are the first tool materials mastered by primitive people, and they are also the tools that they greatly changed the natural world.

Stone tools are easy to obtain raw materials, and their performance is basically in line with the needs of early civilizations, such as the stone weapons and tools of Aztec and other civilizations have reached the peak level.

Ants use stone tools to gain higher productivity and attack power.

Before the spread of bronze weapons, the main individual weapon and labor tool of the Divine Envoy King Legion was the flint knife glued to the large jaw, which gave the Divine Envoy King warriors greater attack power, allowing them to easily pierce the armor of enemies that were otherwise impenetrable to the large jaws, and also made it easier for them to cut through plant materials.

Even after the popularization of copper jaw knives, due to the limited production of copper jaw knives, only field regiments could be given priority, so garrison corps in various places still used stone jaw knives in large quantities.

Without stone knives, the ants would not have been able to cut the grass stems and blades of the plants with no effort, and it would be difficult to remove the vegetation debris left over from the previous year after the spring to facilitate the sowing of the new year.

Many of the nests are equipped with large stone guillotines brought from [Dongyang Castle], which are a combination of stone blades and wooden bases, which can be used to complete some delicate cutting work.

Although the stone projectiles used by the slings of the Divine Envoy King Legion are basically natural, they are also one of the stone tools.

It can be said that although the masonry technology of the Divine Envoy King Legion is still very primitive, it is still in the stage of making stone tools, and it needs the help of fire when processing, and the yield is not high. But this has been an important driving force for the great development of the productivity of the Divine King's army.
