Chapter 379: Is This Really Good?
The silkworm baby cocooned, and the whole process took about two days and two nights, and Lin Qinghe didn't keep staring here.
On the morning of the third day, when she came to look, she found that the baby silkworm in the cocoon was still spinning!
On the fourth day, I was still spinning!
On the fifth day, I finally didn't move.
At this time, the cocoon is also twice as big as an ordinary cocoon!
Lin Qinghe blinked and said, "Its body is not much bigger than other silkworms, how can it spit out twice as much silk?" Well, if this characteristic can be passed on to ordinary silkworms, it is also a remarkable function! If you raise a silkworm in the same way, you can harvest twice as much silk. ”
[You don't see that it eats more than other silkworms, and it takes longer from hatching to cocooning. 】
"That's just as well."
Lin Qinghe didn't know how long it would take for this silkworm baby to break out of the cocoon and become a moth, but judging from the fact that it was a few beats slower than other silkworms every time, the speed of breaking the cocoon into a moth was estimated to be a little slower.
But Lin Qinghe didn't dare to bet, what if it was slow for a lifetime and rose up at the last moment? When there is no moth of the opposite sex to mate with it and lay eggs, won't she cry to death?
Therefore, just in case, Lin Qinghe took out some silkworm cocoons from the range of the small ice rune and put them together with this mutated silkworm cocoon.
She didn't take all of them, and after this batch of hatching, if the mutant cocoons have not hatched, she will bring some more, so as to ensure that when the mutant cocoons hatch, there are always other cocoons hatching together, leaving the genes of the mutant cocoons as much as possible.
It takes about ten days for silkworms to turn into moths.
Although the cocoons in front of them have been placed within the range of the small cold ice talisman, they have been in the end for a long time, so they have broken out of the cocoons and become moths within a few days of being taken out.
Lin Qinghe had no choice but to grab the eggs they laid with spiritual touch, put them on the prepared paper, clip them into books, and wait for the spring of the next year to hatch them.
In this way, three batches have passed, and by the time the fourth batch of cocoons is feathered, the mutated cocoon finally has moved.
When a colorless and transparent silkworm moth came out of the cocoon, several male moths that were about to mate stopped one after another and crawled towards the mutant silkworm moth.
The mutant silkworm moth is like a queen bee, and it has a fatal attraction for male moths.
However, there is only one mutant silkworm moth, so in order to have the right to mate with it, the male moth in the bag has started a fierce battle.
In the end, a more majestic-looking male moth triumphed, and he eagerly crawled to the mutant silkworm moth......
From the rising sun to the sunset, the male moth finally left his genes and died contentedly.
In general, a male moth can mate with multiple females, but after mating with a mutant silkworm moth, the male dies......
He's dead!
But it should have died as it should, and its moth life has reached its peak!
After all, there is only one mutant female moth, and not every male moth can mate with it and leave his own genes.
After the male moth died, Lin Qinghe used his spiritual touch to remove all the moths, leaving only the female moth inside.
After the silkworm moth mates, it usually lays eggs within 24 hours, but Lin Qinghe is not sure how long it will take for the mutant female moth to lay eggs, so he has been waiting by the side.
Sure enough, she expected that this mutant female moth did not follow the usual path, and in the matter of laying eggs, it was also different from ordinary silkworm moths, and it only began to lay eggs after 48 hours, and the eggs laid were still very few.
The common silkworm moth lays 400-500 eggs, and the eggs laid by this mutant female moth are only 100, the gap is too big!
[Tease, why does this mutant female moth lay so few eggs?] Isn't it supposed to lay more eggs? 】
[Who told you that those who mutate will lay more eggs? 】
[It eats more, has a longer growth cycle, spits more silk, and so on, and the more eggs it lays. 】
[Host, you have no common sense at all!] Eat more, have a long growth cycle, and these are to accumulate more energy. Think about it, is it better to divide the same part of energy into four or five hundred, or is it better to divide it into one hundred parts? 】
[You mean......]
Lin Qinghe carefully observed the eggs laid by the mutant female moth with the spirit eye technique, and found out the eggs laid by other ordinary silkworm moths before for comparison, and sure enough, he found that the eggs laid by the mutant female moth were larger, and the vitality contained in them was also stronger.
In this way, the quality of the silkworms hatched from these eggs in the future will also be higher.
The big teaser said: [Does the host want a hundred high-quality eggs, or four or five hundred ordinary eggs? 】
Lin Qinghe rolled his eyes, of course it was a high-quality egg.
After watching the mutant female moth lay eggs, it died soon after, Lin Qinghe grabbed the eggs it laid with spiritual touch, and also clamped them with books, waiting for the spring of next year to hatch.
And the cocoon of the mutant female moth, because there is only one, there are too few, and it is impossible to do anything if you want to, so you can also collect it, wait for it to accumulate more in the future, and use it to make a storage bag.
After all this was done, Lin Qinghe finally breathed a sigh of relief, she had spent a lot of energy for this mutant female moth.
Now that she finally had a perfect harvest, she immediately called Jin An.
"Jin Xiaoan, my mutant silkworm moth laid eggs today."
"Really? Is there anything special about it? ”
Jin An listened to Lin Qinghe report to him every day that she had raised a mutated silkworm, and he was also looking forward to it, and he didn't know what the function of this mutated female moth was.
"I took a look, and the eggs it lays are larger than those laid by other silkworm moths, and the vitality is thicker. I hope that more mutant silkworm babies can be hatched from it next year. By the way, did you research the storage bag? ”
"That mutated cocoon, do you think it can really be used to refine storage bags? How do I feel that there is simply no way to make storage bags in modern society? ”
Jin An has been going crazy recently, since Lin Qinghe said that a silkworm raised at home has a tendency to mutate, and asked him to see if the silk can be used as a storage bag, he has been studying the storage bag refining method in the alchemy inheritance.
He felt as if he had received a fake inheritance, what kind of empty spirit stone, ice silk, multicolored spider silk, blood vine, something he had never heard of, is there really such a thing on the earth?
Did the ancients fool future generations?
"What kind of empty stone, ice silk, multicolored spider silk, blood vine, let's leave these alone for the time being, what we are looking for should be some common qualities among them. What kind of materials can be used to refine storage bags, have you ever thought about this question? ”
Jin An scratched his head: "I haven't even entered the entrance now, such a profound question, are you really okay to ask me?" ”
