The bugs brought back are large and small, small, and even a reptile as big as a teddy dog, and the existing conditions are more than enough to digest, but those large ones have to be considered in the long run:

The heavy beetles, thorough beetles, axe beetles, and cannon beetles are so large that the hundreds of meters in diameter enchantment hidden from the mountain is simply not enough.

On the other hand, they belong to the most troublesome of the three common habitat types (terrestrial, arboreal, burrowing) - burrowing types, which require burrowing.

Think about a bird-catching spider that is only a dozen centimeters unfolded, such as the burrowing spider dug by Emperor Babu, the burrow hole is tens of centimeters to two or three meters deep, two or three meters high, and how deep is the hole dug by a heavy beetle that is nearly 10 meters wide?

Moreover, the environment in which they lived in the original world was mainly in the flat and dry areas, while the Dapeng Peninsula was a mountainous terrain with a warm and humid subtropical monsoon climate, and the environment was not suitable.

Pavilion mantis, queen bee, although the environment is fine, but one has to eat too much meat and can't afford it now, and the other is that there is not enough place for social insects, so it is temporarily placed in the worm bank in the body.

Now, because the vegetation on the peninsula is dominated by rainforests, which is somewhat similar to the jungle environment where electric beetles live, and they themselves have the ability to release lightning and the speed close to the speed of an aircraft when propelled at full speed, which is a cost-effective combat power, so it has become the first batch of key cultivation targets of Final Balance.

The biggest risk of insect breeding is "careless, all lost", a slight little mistake, such as the spread of infection of a certain bacteria, fungi and viruses, uneven recipes, developmental diseases caused by mistakes, or environmental problems caused by their own diseases, such as soft foot disease caused by high humidity in raising spiders, etc., will lead to a large number of insect colonies die or even extinct.

These insects are "sent" rather than "redeemed" from the mall, and they will be completely extinct when they are raised, so of course Zhongheng can't put all his eggs in one basket, and only put three pairs of electric beetles from the worm bank as the first batch of experimental products.

Now he is completely "crossing the river by feeling the stones"

——There are scientific laws in the real world, not as whimsical as the world of consciousness, and these electric beetles are not original but imitations copied by the giver using life science technology.

Combining the knowledge and experience of insect breeding, Zhong Heng consulted a lot of serious nonsense monster hunter background on the Internet, and then opened one-on-one control from time to time to get direct feelings, and explored a set of breeding methods.

In terms of feed, like the rhino beetle insects such as the unicorn fairy, in terms of eating, Zhongheng bought raw materials online to make a new kind of beetle jelly like this kind of insect before, which is made of agar, brown sugar, wheat bran, pounded fresh dried bamboo or sugarcane skin, all kinds of vegetable and fruit paste, plus iron powder, copper filings, zinc powder and other metals, in order to promote the development of their exoskeleton, Zhongheng also specially added calcium powder, protein powder, and some nutrients such as meat and egg crumbs needed to promote the development of scales needed by snakes such as turtles, lizards, etc.

A set down, the cost is expensive, especially the huge size of the electric beetle is placed there, 6 of them eat a meal is measured in hundreds of kilograms, on average, every day just the explosion provides nearly 1,000 yuan of food.

Fortunately, the cost is not so outrageous elsewhere.

The insects of the rhino beetle family do not have high environmental requirements, there is a shady place, there is a rotten tree to perch on their stomach, the overall environment maintains a humidity of 70 to 90 percent, and it is good to have a clean water source, which is not a problem for the conditions here:

On the night of his return, the large pit of reconstituted matter that constituted these insects was used by Zhong Heng, he got rid of Fang Qianli and built a simple greenhouse on it to shade it, installed ventilation and temperature control devices, and used the 3D printer left by the doctor to build a shape that looked a little like a dead tree, and the power beetle about six or seven meters high climbed and perched on the shelf below.

The water source is the key, after all, the electric beetle has some characteristics of the firefly family, and it cannot survive in non-clear water sources, if the dirty hard water is used for a long time, it is very likely that it will die of similar bone hyperplasia due to excessive calcium carbonate accumulation in the exoskeleton, but it is not a problem here:

The hill where Zhongheng and others were originally going to be used to build a resort, one of the advertisements was "drinking pure natural clean spring water, enjoying the original ecological and healthy life", there was a clear spring in the middle of the mountain to form a message to flow down the mountain, and it was also their domestic water stationed here, which was nothing more than the effort of building a number of water channels from the water filter.

In addition to eating and lodging, in order to prevent the electric beetles from exercising for too long and causing their abilities to deteriorate, the final balance specially left a message in the control mark that they would go out and fly in circles around the edge of the enchantment at regular intervals every day.

Solving the problem of survival, the next is the key problem of the aquaculture industry:

Reproduction.

Rare is not the most difficult breeding problem in traditional breeding, because this problem is the same as the difficulty of adapting, not eating and other problems are the "thinking problems" of insects, and there is the final balance that overrides their will to control the imprint of the pressure is basically not a problem, the difficult is the incubation link after mating.

The electric beetle is presumed to be a completely metamorphosed insect, and when it is in its juvenile state, it is a white worm like a maggot, which spends time in the soil or in rotten wood, and needs to go through the pupal stage like a butterfly before it can become an adult worm with a carapace, so the eggs are generally laid in the soil, and the female insect does not care after laying eggs.

So, the question is, are there any special requirements for the temperature, humidity and material of the surrounding soil for incubation?

These are all unknowns, and unlike larvae or adults, the final balance can also use one-on-one manipulation to obtain the worm's senses to confirm their adaptation.

This link is very critical, just the slightest error of one or two degrees in temperature can cause the whole nest of eggs to become bad eggs, and after mating to before laying eggs, I don't know if there is an egg pain link that some insects have - winterization.

The eggs must be fertilized to hatch successfully, and some insects because of the special climate of the region, the temperature will drop after the mating season, they have adapted to this process in the evolutionary journey of tens of millions of years, and the temperature needs to be specially lowered during artificial reproduction, otherwise the fertilization process will not be completed, and will only lay unfertilized eggs commonly known as "vegetative eggs".

The most typical is a kind of spider called Brazilian black velvet, they are docile and not difficult to mate, but it is because of the special climate of the plateau of origin that winterization is needed, and it is difficult to grasp the artificial conditions resulting in a bunch of people stuck in reproduction, and few people in China have successfully bred so far.

Zhongheng doesn't know if the reproduction of this electric beetle has this need for egg pain, and I don't know if there are some more egg pain needs, such as regularly electrifying eggs or something, if there is, then I really want to cry without tears.

Completely blind, he can only adopt a stupid method of casting a net everywhere:

During this period of the expected delivery date, the eggs are sieved out after the eggs are laid, grouped into groups, and placed in a special reptile incubator with special bedding and adjustable temperature and humidity.

Most of the incubators are set to the same incubation conditions as the electric beetle, and a small number of the remaining ones are placed in groups of three in other incubators with different conditions to see what happens.

The first time is generally to accumulate experience, and there is a chance that it will fail, and the final balance does not have much hope: if it can't come out, then the next breeding time will have to make a fuss about the due date;

And if only one comes out, it is basically equivalent to the breeding technology has been overcome, and with his superpowers, he will follow this method in the future, and the mass production of electric beetles on the assembly line like hatching eggs in a chicken farm may be like playing, which is basically equivalent to officially opening the era of the Zerg.

In addition to the electric beetle, another bug, although it cannot be released now, has also been added to this first batch of hatching experiments in the final balance plan:

Pavilion mantis.

The other insects were all pairs, but this kind of insect master system strangely only gave him three, which made Zhong Heng wonder for a while:

Three, not to mention whether the number can form a genetic gap enough to open up the population that the species can pass on, this number alone is problematic - reproduction needs a double number, is this a creature with three sexes?!

Later, after checking through one-on-one manipulation, Zhongheng discovered the truth - it turned out that this was a parthenogenetic creature.

Parthenogenesis is not the same as asexual reproduction, parthenogenesis.

The offspring of invisible reproduction are developed from the somatic cells that divide out, the most typical is that protozoa such as paramecium reproduce by division, or some plants, such as potatoes, can grow into new individuals after cutting off the rhizomes;

Parhenogenesis is the reproductive mode of some hermaphroditic organisms, such as earthworms, slugs, etc., each of them has both female and male characteristic organs, and they also have to mate when they want to reproduce the next generation, but if they really can't find a "partner", they can mate with themselves to complete the process.

Parthenogenetic offspring are also developed from egg cells, but egg cells can produce offspring that can be either half-genetically deficient haploids like male ants, or genetically intact polyploids.

The reproduction mode of the praying mantis may be similar to that of a scorpion called the Congo red crocodile back scorpion, which is widely spread in the reptile pet market on the earth, and there are basically only females in the population, and males are extremely rare mutant individuals, and most of the reproduction does not go through mating, as long as there are eggs in the body, the birth is completed.

This also saves the time of final balance, because the electric beetle is like the beetle of the rhino beetle, after mating, it takes more than ten days to dozens of days to complete the fertilization process before laying eggs, and these pavilion mantis have eggs in their bodies after being manufactured, and finally Heng got their eggs with an order.

Each egg is larger than an ostrich egg, with a diameter of about half a meter, but unfortunately there are not many of them, and the three add up to only 25 eggs - no way, the size of the creature is generally inversely proportional to the reproductive ability, after all, this is just a special kind of bug and not a real Zerg that reproduces asexually by incubators and can be made infinitely if there are resources.

However, before advancing the Zerg template, it is not impossible for Zhongheng to successfully embark on the road of building a real Zerg base, which requires the foundation laid by the third thing:

Research and explore the hormones that can be exchanged in the Gene Fusion Module and the Mall!
