Although the space city, which once served as an interstellar migration for humans, has many kinds of plants and animals brought from the earth in its closed ecosystem, there are no bees or ants among them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

So, the military commander Sergei, who has no biological basis, naturally will not be clear about this creature, which has been extinct for centuries.

"Bees are a kind of flying social insects, they are 8-20 mm long, and they have chelae at the end of their abdomen, and they are called resource insects." Yuan Haochen looked indifferently at the shining sky outside the porthole, his eyes flickered, as if he remembered some past events.

"Ants are a typical social group insect. There is a clear division of labor among ants, and ant groups are generally divided into queens, males, females, workers, and soldiers. They perform their duties and form a complete ant colony society. ”

"These two insects were the most common in my hometown when I was a child, especially ants, which are definitely the most famous architects in the animal world, using their jaws to dig holes in the ground and build their nests by carrying sand one grain at a time. We used to ...... when we were kids."

Yuan Haochen said this, and suddenly stopped, as if he remembered something from the past, and then sighed again.

"Leader, what do you mean that the civilization of the unknown universe that is at war with us is a group of creatures with a social structure similar to that of bees and ants?"

Sergei Jianjun asked thoughtfully.

"Probably! I also judge based on the number of enemy ships, rules of action, and status attributes. If they are an ant-like group of creatures, it is not difficult to understand why they are so numerous. Yuan continued to recall, "In the past, the number of ants on the earth once reached 55678254 billion. ”

"55678254 Billion !!" Sergei was taken aback, "Didn't such a huge number of highly social creatures finally take over the planet?" ”

"Of course they took over the planet, but it can also be said that they did not occupy it." Yuan Haochen glanced at the war on the front line and continued, "Ants are indeed all over every corner of the earth, and their number far exceeds that of humans, but they cannot affect the normal life of human beings, and in the eyes of human beings, ants are always a small existence. ”

"Because they're low-grade insects, they're just a lot of them!" Sergey threw out his point.

In the distance, the canopy continues to shine, and the human fleet is still playing the role of a "meat grinder".

The Phantom Reconnaissance Fleet, which roamed the edge of the battlefield, has obtained some preliminary information about the creatures of the unknown universe: the individuals are small and numerous! This further verifies Yuan's judgment.

Indeed, the biological community once believed that in order to adapt to the environment, living organisms must constantly evolve their brains, which inevitably leads to the generation of intelligence, and if you want to have higher intelligence, you need to have a more developed brain. But we found that whether it was the earth in the past or Gaia today, there are millions of creatures that can live well, although they do not have high intelligence. Yuan Haochen continued to analyze, "Just look at an ant or a bee, their intelligence is simply negligible. However, biologists have discovered an interesting phenomenon called herd intelligence! ”

"Wisdom of the crowd!?" General Sergei is somewhat unclear.

"In a whole system of ants or bees, it may even show a level of intelligence that even humans are quite awe-inspiring. For example, optimal foraging routes, incomparably rational building structures, and in group life, they can exhibit a high level of strategy and teamwork. ”

Yuan Haochen's gaze fell on the front line in the distance again, and in the dazzling firelight, countless alien warships were rushing forward and rushing towards death. They are like soldier ants who forge ahead without flinching, a genetically engraved code of conduct that individual organisms cannot resist.

"As the saying goes, unity is strength, and these organic wholes, which are composed of beings that lack individual intelligence, can show extremely high group intelligence, and they have a real potential to become the overlord of a planet. However, I can't imagine that the technology of swarm-intelligent organisms can evolve to such an extent. Perhaps their [queen ant or queen bee] has evolved advanced intelligence, or perhaps their individuals also possess no less intelligence. ”

"The universe is amazing!!"

"So, what's next for us!?" The battle continued, General Sergei asked.

"Concentrate on breaking through the blockade of enemy ships and quickly withdraw from the opponent's sphere of influence." Yuan Haochen said decisively, "Continue to delay, and wait until the number of ants reaches a certain level, even fierce beasts may be devoured!" ”

Yuan Haochen judged that the enemy fleet around the asteroid ahead was definitely not the main force of the unknown cosmic civilization, and the reason why they had to arrange a large number of space mines and the fleet that was fearless to tear human civilization was to delay the pace of the expeditionary fleet, so as to wait for their main force to arrive, and then stage the drama of ant colony devouring lions.

"Can we try to communicate our intentions and try to put an end to this senseless war?" A military staff officer suggested.

"Of course you can try to communicate, but I think there's a good chance that it won't work." Yuan Haochen supported this suggestion, but was skeptical about its effectiveness, "According to the analysis of the current situation, the other party discovered us a long time ago. And, by analyzing our route, they could easily tell that our purpose was to get out of here quietly, but they still ambushed us. ”

"How exactly did they discover our presence? We have been so cautious that we have gone wrong? ”

"Also, why does this unknown cosmic civilization still stop us even though it knows that we have no intention of being an enemy of it?"

In the command center, everyone was puzzled.

Why was his whereabouts exposed?

Yuan Haochen couldn't say for sure, but he faintly remembered a habit of ants, and the lines they walked would leave a smell as a mark. Perhaps this unknown cosmic civilization has some kind of similar ability, allowing it to detect expeditionary forces that have entered their sphere of influence.

Of course, this possibility is purely fanciful and has no theoretical basis, Yuan Haochen naturally will not bring it up, he just guesses the reason why the other party insists on launching an attack.

"Maybe they think it's profitable to ambush us, or maybe they don't want to expose where their civilized world is." Yuan Haochen continued to speculate, "Of course, if we show absolute strength, the other party may give up the original idea. Communication will only be effective if a strong fist is demonstrated. ”

"So, they are still attacking us, which shows that in their eyes, our fists are not hard enough!"

Sergei shouted in a tempered manner.

"Then let's swing our fists harder!" Yuan Haochen said meaningfully, "In addition, let the reconnaissance fleet try to capture a few enemy ships and come back!" ”
