Chapter 1120: The Life Instinct of Changing Taste
Having mastered the energy, the host soon invented a device to control the temperature of the burial chamber, which was extremely important for fermentation towers and hatcheries.
There are many organisms in nature, especially oviparous organisms, and the sex of the newborn life is not determined when the sperm and egg are combined, but the temperature, humidity and other factors during the incubation process.
For example, when the temperature reaches 23~27 °C, most of the juvenile turtles are male, and when the temperature is 30~33 °C, most of the juvenile turtles are female.
The type of ant larvae that develops into depends entirely on the feeding conditions at the larval stage, but controlling the temperature is equally important for the ants to hatch.
In order to find the right temperature, worker ants need to move their larvae around frequently to maintain a suitable place to develop.
If the right temperature is not always found, it will either stunt development or mass death, and either way, it will be a major loss to the nest.
Now that the energy source is in control, the temperature in the hatchery room can be controlled freely.
Small changes are big improvements.
The control of different temperature levels also allows ants to control more microorganisms, and the choice of fermentation is also wider, and more fermentation products can be made.
The same food, in the past, the ants made all the crystals of sugar, which is rich in sugar, which is the favorite ration of the ants and the food that the ants eat the most.
Now that production conditions have improved, the variety of sugars has also increased, and the quality has also begun to improve, containing not only the nutrients necessary for growth, but also the energy necessary for activity.
Not only that, but after mastering the energy source, the energy contained in the food crystals produced by the ants also became more and more abundant.
Xi Tong asked Luo Tianyi to analyze and study these crystals, and finally came to the conclusion that this was no longer a simple food, but an energy crystal.
The essential need for human beings and all living beings to eat is to obtain energy from food.
It's a biological instinct.
The reproductive instinct has changed in humans, but the eating instinct has not, and the food ends up in the stomach instead of chewing and spitting it out in the mouth.
However, getting energy from food is a very low-end process, and there is very little energy in food, most of which is impurities.
Ants produce crystals that are very pure food, with only 2% of the food that cannot be absorbed, and this number is decreasing even further.
This reminded Xi Tong of the genetic essence of the Atlantean civilization, a thing that resembles a liquid drink.
The Atlanteans did not need to eat, they survived on the genetic stock solution, and they obtained the nutrients they needed to grow, as well as the energy they needed to survive.
It's a very high-grade food, or all-purpose food.
Food is just food, and it no longer contains attributes such as deliciousness, gastronomy, poisoning, cooking, cuisine, star rating, etc.
It's like water is water, simple and pure, with no attached.
If humans don't eat or drink water, can they survive on glucose alone?
The answer is no.
Because humans also need fats, proteins, as well as various vitamins and trace elements.
Therefore, humans do not yet have the ability to make all-purpose food.
But the group of ants in front of me has it.
The crystal, which is less than 1 millimeter, can provide ants with a whole day of activity and labor, and it is a high-frequency, high-intensity labor.
Not only that, but they are also constantly improving the recipe and production process of all-purpose food, and improving the quality and function of all-purpose food.
Under the condition that the volume of the crystal remains the same, the total amount of energy contained in it, as well as the quantity, are continuously increased.
If this momentum continues, perhaps a bite of the crystals will ensure the energy needs of the day.
This crystalline is no longer just food, but energy, bioenergy.
Energy, which is already the key to civilization.
It is only when human beings master the energy source of fire that they can eat cooked food, kill the bacteria and microorganisms in the food, enhance physical fitness, improve life expectancy, reduce mortality, and allow the population to expand rapidly.
At the same time, humans obtained special nutrients from cooked food, which opened the door to evolution.
Does this mean that ants can also get special energy from their food, thus opening the door to evolution and thus leaping to higher levels?
This is a question worth pondering.
Moreover, one of the results that Luo Tianyi came up with was that it was possible for this universal food to be improved into something similar to a spirit stone.
There is no doubt about the importance of spirit stones to the immortal cultivation world, even in the magic world, there is such a thing as magic crystals.
However, whether it is a spirit stone or a magic crystal, it is generated by heaven and earth, and it is difficult to mine, with high cost and low efficiency, and it is destined to become the exclusive resource of a small number of people.
But in this anthill, Xi Tong saw the possibility of large-scale and mass production of spars.
And the inputs are nothing more than water, air, electricity, and certain components of animals, plants, and rocks.
This is still because the ants have a limited range of activities and do not have many types of materials to obtain, if their range of activities is expanded to the entire world, or even the heavens and worlds......
How many recipes will they come up with?
And how much material and energy they can produce before.
The most important thing is that Xi Tong has an electrical civilization system in his hands, in which there are many ways to use electrical energy, including cultivation-related and production-related.
But Xi Tong flipped through and over, but he didn't find the way to use it in front of him.
Food is energy, life is practice, and growth is transformation.
Xi Tong seems to have seen the clues of this avenue.
It is very similar to the Olympian Protoss's concept of combining faith and practice, but it is more down-to-earth and more in line with the instincts of creatures.
Creatures can have no beliefs, no pursuits, but in no case they can not be without the desire to eat.
This means that the road of ants is wider and wider than the road of the Olympian gods.
When it came to eating, Xi Tong immediately had a wrestling.
Even at this level, the instinct to eat is still deeply rooted in the bones.
For mortals, isn't the meaning of life to be fed and clothed?
If you don't have anything to eat, the emperor Lao'er will also pull you off the horse, and how many peasant uprisings are full of food.
It is true that people regard food as the sky, and eating is always the first thing in life.
On the earth, people eat well on the basis of being well-fed.
Pursue health on the basis of eating well.
Therefore, while criticizing the harm of junk food to the human body, we hype up various nutritional products, health products, non-transshipment foods, and organic foods......
In fact, no matter how expensive the food is, its effect is to reduce the risk of the disease and reduce the probability of the disease.
Life and death are always just the difference between 0 and 1, either there is or not, and the percentage data in between is nonsense.
A person will never get 46.78% of the power of cancer, nor will they ever get the 63.72% power of diabetes.
True health food never wants to reduce this risk and treat that ailment.
Rather, it strengthens the root bone and improves physiological function from the source.
Let you have a stronger body, a smarter brain, and a higher, far-reaching and broad evolutionary space......
This is where the road to the evolution of life lies.
