Wang Hui was stunned for a while.

The queen of worms had never cared about this question, not even Alice, who had also been bred into an insect without modifying human memories, had never asked herself this question.

As for the other queen worms, although there are also insect queens bred by male intelligent creatures, most of them have lost most of their memory and thinking ability in the process of cultivation, and they have completely integrated into the insect colony, and they don't care about this problem at all.

As for Wang Hui himself, although he was once a male human, gender has lost its meaning to the Juggernaut.

Because as long as Wang Hui is willing, he can be male or female, and he is completely free to modify his biological genes.

Up to now.

Long Aotian is the only special case.

Like Alice, he has not had any memories or thought patterns modified since he was bred as an adult, and has inherited all the male ideas and grand thinking patterns of his time as a human being.

So.

For this problem, Long Aotian is very concerned.

"Answer me, Wang Hui!"

Long Aotian's tone gradually became serious: "This question is very important!" ”

Becoming a bug, Long Aotian can not care.

Reincarnation, it's okay not to be a human being.

Anyway, in this world, the life of human beings is miserable enough.

But male or female, this question must be understood!

“emmmm”

Wang Hui was groaning, and he was shocked to find that he had never thought about the question of whether the queen was male or female.

In fact, on a large level, for the entire insect population, the backward biological reproduction mode has been abandoned, and most of the insects are asexual organisms, which are born and reproduced through the hive, and the hive is, in a sense, the hermaphroditic biological nest, which is responsible for reproducing bugs.

The queen has the effect of assisting the hive to increase the speed and frequency of reproduction.

The queen stimulates cell growth by using a thick protein liquid substance secreted by an organ in a certain part of the body, and this protein liquid is combined with a catalyst stored in the back neck glands of the worm back to inject into the hive, which will increase the rate at which the hive produces larvae.

From this point of view, the queen is on the "injected" side of biological reproduction, and the hive is the "injected" side.

But the queen worm also has another function and utility, sowing mycelium.

Because the direct benefit of eggs will be greater, but "sowing fungal tumors" is still a very powerful skill that is often used by the queen worm.

The queen secretes globulin tissues, which attach to the blanket and accelerate its growth, forming biomyciums, which infect nearby land and accelerate the spread of the blanket.

The mushroom blanket is very important to the insect colony, and the fungus blanket can provide the insect colony with higher movement speed, faster recovery speed, and so on...... The swarm standing on the fungus blanket will increase its combat effectiveness several times.

In addition, the bacterioma after sowing after the worm has a certain infection spread characteristic, and after a certain period of time, it will grow from one bacterioma to two myceliums, which can improve the efficiency and multiply the scope of the bacterial blanket.

From this point of view, the queen is on the side of "hatching and sowing" for biological reproduction.

In addition to the above two functions and effects, the queen can also have a function similar to "breastfeeding".

A special protein liquid substance secreted by the queen can be applied to the wounds of wounded swarms and damaged wormhole buildings, and the damaged tissue will quickly recover in a matter of seconds.

......

Based on the above three points about the most significant characteristics of the insect queen, it is difficult for Wang Hui to make an intuitive judgment.

Because for the swarm, gender does not matter, different bugs have different functional utilities, providing different areas of help for the swarm, and working together to strengthen the whole swarm is the most powerful part of the swarm.

As for gender......

Wang Hui was silent for a while, he raised his head and looked at Long Aotian's hopeful queen, as if he wanted to get a satisfactory answer from his mouth.

"Hermaphroditism."

Wang Hui cautiously replied: "To be precise, the queen worm is a hermaphroditic special creature, with no direct sex organs, but she serves as the patriarch in the biological social system such as mother and father in the insect colony. ”

"A father and a mother?"

Long Aotian was about to go crazy: "Wang Hui, am I a male or a female!" ”

"Whatever you want."

Wang Hui was annoyed by the question: "But the male and the mother, you can do it yourself, can't I let the brain worm change your body for you?" ”

"I ......"

Long Aotian was speechless,

Rather than that, he would rather pout his ass and lay eggs on the ground.

"Wait!"

"Why would I be more receptive to spawning?"

Long Aotian was going crazy, he felt that he had changed, and he had become a little different from before.

"Creatures have ** officials, to be precise, they don't exist in our race."

The voice of the brain worm sounded, giving Long Aotian a more accurate answer: "Although we are bugs, we are not the same as the bugs you have known, we do not have backward biological characteristics, this is a more advanced form of symbiosis of the race. ”

"You are the queen of worms, and you are also part of the insect swarm, we are all one body, serving the master together, for the continuous growth and development of the race."

"Of course, if you aspire to have backward sexual organ, you only need the consent of the master, and I can modify a new organ for you."

The brain worm paused, and then spoke as if warning: "But you must know that I will not give another worm to let you enjoy the pleasure of sexual reproduction, this seems to me to be a backward and time-wasting reproduction process." ”

The process of sexual reproduction requires mating fertilization, growth, and care, and cannot modify biological genes in the middle of the process; Where there is a hive to hatch larvae directly is convenient and fast, and you can also adjust the larval genes anytime and anywhere, and choose to hatch insects that are more suitable for the current environment, which infinitely improves the adaptability of the insect colony.

The pink skull is false!

The sexless race is the best!

Hermaphrodites are also acceptable!

Be both a father and a mother!

......

The brain worm was quite contemptuous and mocking, which made Long Aotian furious.

"If you don't change it, you won't change it, am I rare?"

Long Aotian smiled coldly, forcibly holding back the loss and unwillingness in his heart, he would never tell the brain worm the real reason.

In the previous life, he was still a place until he died, which was miserable enough, who knew that he would not even give ** things in this life.

"If you need to fulfill your dreams, I can indeed give you a transformation, and when you use and experience it, I can help you cut it off."

The brainworm's tone was serious: "Painless guaranteed." ”

Long Aotian's insect body stiffened.

He almost forgot that, because of the common network of swarm consciousness, the brain worm could directly read all the swarm thoughts except for the master.

The deepest secret in his heart was revealed, which made Long Aotian angry.

"Brain worm, stand up! Singled out! ”

"I'm sorry, but I don't have the body to carry the mind and can't meet your request."

Wang Hui covered his forehead and warned: "Long Aotian, friendship and mutual assistance, understand?" ”

The insect swarm has not produced such a strange thing for tens of thousands of years, where can ordinary insects dare to go against the will of brain worms, even if they are ordinary worm queens who are equal to brain worms, they will not provoke the existence of brain worms, this is the brain of the insect swarm.

Long Aotian was indeed silent.

He even turned around silently, and his six legs slid as fast as he approached the hive.

"This guy really wants to do something to the brain worm!"

Wang Hui was stunned.
