It was supposed to be updated in the morning, but I (ಥ_ಥ) forgot to click it.

- I'm the dividing line -

If you know the architectural style of ants, you will naturally be surprised by the sudden appearance of the square nest.

The nest built by the ants is generally a relatively flat oval in shape, or the lower half is flat and the upper part is curved, like an elongated loaf.

As soon as the protagonist learns how to command ants and use information packets to communicate construction plans, he orders some worker ants and soldier ants to build a two-bedroom shelter for himself. As a result, during the construction, it was found that the ants were digging and digging, and the living room had become the shape of a kiwi cut in half, which was not much different from ordinary ant nests except that the roof was higher.

At that time, no matter how the protagonist corrected the order, he couldn't make these construction ants achieve the effect he wanted, and at that time I only thought it was the limitation of the ants' aesthetics and construction ability.

Later, as the protagonist becomes more and more experienced in ant commanding, he finally has a solution.

This time I stayed in "Dongyang City" for a long time, and the protagonist experimented. This time, there were no soldier ants in the construction team he chose, only worker ants. It is true that soldier ants are good at fighting and hunting, but they are not as good as worker ants in construction, and their ability to understand the protagonist's construction drawings is also poor. Worker ants, on the other hand, are able to better understand the construction drawings and intentions of the protagonists.

The protagonist's method is to build a semi-elliptical nest on the basis of the built, and then instruct individual worker ants to continuously build a few corners of the upper part of the nest, and gradually improve the shape of the square, and finally achieve a satisfactory result.

This kind of construction is more time-consuming and labor-intensive, relatively speaking, the nest shape chosen by the ants is more labor-saving construction, and it can also get more usable area under a certain volume, which is very practical.

But aesthetics is not something that can be replaced by practicality, and the protagonist likes this kind of house very much, although he has no intention of promoting it elsewhere, just as a privilege for himself. Ancient emperors always liked to build palaces, and they just built a square nest room, and they didn't waste money and money.

The protagonist of this square is an exclusive living room, about 5 centimeters wide and 15 centimeters long. If you look at the current size of the protagonist from a human perspective, it is 300 square meters in size. Due to the small size of the ants, the support of the four walls alone is enough to ensure that the roof does not collapse, and there is no need to build supporting structures such as beams and columns.

Therefore, at first the room seemed a little empty, and the scientific research team of the protagonist ordered the little secretary to make some divisions with some soft branch weaving, and divided the large nest room into several areas.

Entering through the entrance to the left of the nest chamber, in addition to the high ceiling and the striking fluorescent bacteria on it, you can see that in the first area of the partition, there are some very bright and neatly arranged seats with a yellowish and green surface.

This is the protagonist's reception area, as the protagonist's exclusive room, only some ants who are allowed to enter, and those who can enter this reception room and get received are only high-ranking kings like Roll and Rambo Fei.

The reception room consists of a simple piece of furniture, a stool, which is made of hollow stems of natural round plants, cut to the right height, dried and hardened, then filled with natural plant silk wool, and finally covered with a layer of nitrated insect skin.

Insect skin, to be precise, is the skin of insect larvae, the outer skin of these worms or caterpillars, which is one of the very few natural materials similar to mammalian leather found by the protagonists so far. In the past, ants discarded these inedible parts. In the wild, it is also common to see an empty shell of an insect corpse eaten by ants or other insects, with no edible meat and internal organs, but the outer carapace or skin is still intact.

The protagonist teaches these ants the technique of tanning.

Nitrate peel is the tanning of leather, which is the chemical and physical processing of the protein in the skin with tannin. Through a series of processes and the use of some chemical agents, the protein in the hides undergoes a series of changes, and finally denatured. The tanned leather is soft, firm, and wear-resistant, and not easy to spoil, so the tanned leather can be used to make various leather daily necessities.

The more primitive method of nitrate skin in human technology generally needs to soak and degreas, prepare nitrate, enter the liquid nitrate, dry the skin, and deodorize and preserve several steps, and the nitrate materials commonly used in this more primitive technology include alum, skin nitrate, salt and rice milk.

Ants nitrate skin is simpler than humans, such as soaking and degreasing this step can be omitted, humans need this step because mammalian fur is attached to animal fat and muscle tissue, this part is not cleaned up, do a good job of degreasing, it is easy to cause the future leather products to shorten the service life, easy to rot.

The insect skin that the ants have eaten is so clean that there is hardly a trace of fat and muscle, so this step can naturally be omitted. And some insect skins, such as the skin of the larvae of the bean moth that the protagonist likes, are not only beautiful in color, but also have no odor and do not need to be deodorized.

In the choice of nitrate materials, the protagonist has not much choice, and can only use the coarse salt that the ants can find, but fortunately, these coarse salts are very mixed, and they also contain some alkaline substances needed by the nitrate skin.

With this simplified version of nitrate, these leathers have been able to last for a longer period of time, being soft and stretchy. Collapsed into a seat filled with natural silk wool and glued with ant glue, it is a primitive sofa.

These ant-style sofas do not have backrests because the ants' body anatomy and sitting posture limit their use of backrests. The shape of this sofa is closer to that of a leather stool, and when ants sit on it, they can hold their abdomen against the surface of the leather stool to bear the weight and let their hind limbs rest.

When the protagonist's invention is noticed by the other kings who visit occasionally, it quickly arouses unanimous praise, after all, ants rarely have the opportunity to relax their buttocks (abdomen) and legs (arthropods) except when they are sleeping.

The protagonist also crafts a batch of leather stools and gives them to a number of high-ranking kings and queens, including the nobles of the paving ant and the scythe hunting ant, as a means of entrapment and assimilation.

Except for leather stools, there is no other furniture in the reception area, and the ants do not have customs such as serving guests to tea anyway.

Those who can come to the protagonist as a guest have a higher status in the power of the Divine Envoy King, and they are often entangled in things, and there is very little time to be a guest, and they are generally mainly reported, and they can cope with it with a seat.

The reason why a special reception area was built is because the protagonist thinks that human living rooms have a living room.
