Chapter 142: Daily Life (1)
The positioning and role of the beetle in the army of the Divine Envoy King, the protagonist's vision is to use the beetle as an ancient chariot or a modern tank, as the main force of the assault and the core of a small force.
The protagonist also revealed some tactical ideas such as infantry coordination to some high-level commanders, but most of the males did not understand this idea. After all, without having actually seen it, it is indeed a bit difficult for these ants to imagine it out of thin air.
The protagonist can only be less anxious, after all, there are no beetles now.
In his plan, he planned to reorganize the newly formed Sixth Army into the Beetle Legion, which was newly established and had many new soldiers, and was not yet bound by the old tactical thinking. And although the commander Lambother, although not outstanding, is also the "old brother" who broke the chrysalis with the protagonist at the beginning, loyal and reliable.
In fact, about the Beetle Army, the protagonist also has a lot of specific things that he hasn't figured out, and he needs to keep groping. At the beginning, the big-headed ant remnants did not inform the protagonist of the corresponding establishment and tactics of the beetle troops, perhaps in their opinion, this is the biggest military advantage of the clan, it is inconvenient to disclose, this kind of thinking is completely understandable, no one wants to tell others the hole cards to save their lives, even if it is a temporary ally.
These things are very specific, such as: the various beetles are different in size, and the number of warriors they can carry is also different, how to group the large and small beetles? And how to equip the number of ant warriors to which it is attached? How do the two reconcile? How to ensure that the infantry is able to receive and obey the command of the commander on the beetle in a timely manner?
According to the brief message packet scene sent by the queen of the big-headed ant remnant before, the big-headed ant remnant clan has a large number of beetles in their hometown, and the large and small beetles are mixed together in the army.
Among them, the beetles are all commanders, a few guards and pilots on their backs, and the infantry accompanying the beetles, according to the size of the beetles, the large beetles are accompanied by more infantry, some are close to a hundred; And the number of accompanying infantry of small and medium-sized beetles decreases, and even some small beetles are not equipped with accompanying infantry.
Since he didn't see the battle scenes, the protagonist didn't know how these mixed beetles fought, so he could only continue to explore them based on his understanding of ancient tanks and modern tanks.
Just for the compilation of this piece, the protagonist feels that he can also refer to the way of the big-headed ant remnants and mix different beetles. But equipping the attached infantry is a troublesome matter.
For example, the Big-headed Ant Remnants can equip their largest stag armor and unicorn with eighty or ninety ant infantry, but these males under the command of the protagonist can command a maximum of fifty subordinates according to tradition, and any more will be beyond their calculation and command ability, and they will appear to be in a hurry.
The protagonist doesn't know how the big-headed ant remnants overcome this natural racial disadvantage, according to the protagonist's observation, most of the male ants can't mentally calculate the four arithmetic above fifty, and the few that can do it are almost all geniuses, such as Rambo Fei and the Floating Leaf King, as well as that special little secret.
The protagonist's idea is to have a squad of fifty infantry warriors for each large and medium-sized beetle, but these infantry are commanded by a separate male commander. There are also beetle commanders on the beetle, including riders and warriors, and their number varies from a few to fifty depending on the size of the beetle.
The subordinate infantry commander is to accompany the Beetle operation, and the Beetle Commander is the core of the two-team formation, determining the specific tactics. The ant warriors on the back of the beetle are not just the commander and driver of the guard, in the protagonist's vision, they can also participate in long-range attacks, using the unique slingling weapon of the Divine Messenger King's legion. This is also a weapon that the big-headed ant remnants do not have, so the warriors on the back of the beetles of the big-headed ant remnants can only play a purely protective role.
The small beetle, on the other hand, is not intended to equip it with infantry, but instead uses its speed and agility as a vehicle for the Scythe Ant Scout, as a reconnaissance vehicle or as a Rapid Support Force.
Now that the specific tactical prototype has been thought out, what the protagonist needs to wait for is the hatching and domestication of the beetle. At that time, the strong beetles will join the army, the brushed ones will be produced as pack animals, and the weakest and sickest will be killed to ensure the genetic health of the subsequent beetle population.
Everything is ready, only the beetle is owed!
- I'm the dividing line -
This may be the longest time the protagonist has spent in "Dongyang City" in recent times.
Before, he was busy fighting everywhere, and the protagonist could only keep going back and forth between the north bank of the Great River, the "Waterfront City", the southern hills, or other places, and lived in both the "Waterfront City" and the "Southern City" for a short time.
However, compared to these temporary residences, "Dongyang Castle", which has been renovated by the protagonist for a long time, is undoubtedly the most comfortable place to live.
In the days of military reform and waiting for the beetles to hatch, the protagonist can finally continue his plans to improve his life. This is also the implementation of the concept of "living like an individual" that the protagonist has been insisting on since crossing into the ant.
Below the main passage of "Dongyang Castle", deep underground, is the protagonist's dormitory.
This dormitory was the temporary resting place that the protagonist was looking for, and it was later expanded into a two-bedroom living room, and now it has been expanded into a dormitory.
It's lonely, and it's not next to the other male ants or queens' dormitories, which also happens to meet the protagonist's need to be alone sometimes.
From the main passage, you can see several soldier ants patrolling the entrance, which is the gate of the protagonist's dormitory.
The first thing you see when you enter the interior is a large underground hall, which is large enough to accommodate dozens of ants, and is the courtyard of the protagonist's dormitory.
There were a lot of fluorescent mushrooms planted on the top of the courtyard and the other rooms in the dormitory, but there were none on the walls, like hanging chandeliers. Some long-growing hyphae will try to grow upwards again in order to adapt to the new direction of gravity, and the whole mycelium is hook-shaped, and the cap exudes a faint cold light, more like a chandelier.
Previously, after discovering that the fluorescent bacteria were planted on ant waste, the protagonist couldn't stand the fact that the roof and walls of the dormitory were all over the place.
In particular, fluorescent bacteria planted on the feces of male ants and queen ants, with better growth and development, more abundant light, have always been considered to be of the highest quality, and are preferentially planted in the bedrooms of kings and queens.
This is because the diet of male ants and queens is rich in fat and protein, but the short digestive tract of ants cannot fully digest these nutrients, so there is still a lot of energy and nutrients in the excrement, which is just cheaper than fluorescent bacteria.
However, the smell of male and queen ant excrement is also stronger, much greater than that of worker ants, who have a higher proportion of vegetarian diets......
