Chapter 6: Aptitude Testing
As soon as he got home, Zhong Heng, who couldn't wait, hurriedly closed all the doors and windows, and after confirming that there was no suspicious situation around, he opened the insect template in the dim toilet separated by a door.
The queen of the captured yellow ant was a little languishing after a long period of displacement, but it was not a big deal, and it was only a matter of time before it regained its state and began to establish the spawning behavior of the empire after recuperating in a water-blocked test tube stuffed with cotton.
Open the insect manipulation module, and another line of attribute tables emerges:
Module Name: Insect Manipulation
Status: Activated
Level: Level 1
Description: You can get the ability to manipulate and communicate with insect creatures by touching them, you can choose to be controlled by a puppet, directly one-on-one control, command control, and you can obtain the target sense of being controlled one-on-one.
Currently, the maximum number of puppets is 10; There is no limit to the number of direct one-to-one manipulations, but it is limited by the host's mental intensity; There is no limit to the number of commands to manipulate, but it is restricted by the ability of insects to understand, and it is not possible to give orders that are too difficult, otherwise it will cause the mental breakdown and death of the ** control target.
At present, the controllable insect varieties are 5, the number of used varieties is 0, and the number of available varieties is 5.
Proficiency: 0%
Upgrade Conditions: Upgrade through Evolution Fragments, currently the evolution fragments required for upgrading are 1000
Nima, if this ability is thrown out, how many scientists will go crazy, if any scientist, especially biologists and entomologists, has this ability, then the research results will be properly packed with this year's Nobel Prize.
In the excitement, Zhong Heng pulled out the cotton stuffed in the mouth of the test tube, poured the yellow ant queen on his hand, and silently thought in his heart: choose the yellow ant and manipulate the puppet.
At the bottom of the panel, an icon with a photo of a yellow ant appears, and the number of available species has changed to 4.
The process of activating and succeeding in the ability is very fast, almost invisible, after the yellow lynx ant queen fell into the palm of the final balance's hand, she did not scurry around and struggle as before, but stood in place after swinging her tentacles twice, and her shiny compound eyes instantly became dim, revealing a gaze that gave people the feeling of only a sluggish second fool.
"Turn left."
Final Heng thought secretly.
The queen ant did so.
"Turn right."
Zhong Heng then thought secretly.
Still do it.
"Jump."
The queen bent her legs and bounced her body slightly away from the almost negligible distance of her palm, like a clumsy toad in a movement that is impossible in this habit.
Among them, he felt that his brain seemed to be able to directly connect to the body of the queen ant, and how he moved in his head, the queen of the yellow ant moved, as simple and fast as controlling his hands and feet.
After completing the basic test, Zhongheng wanted to try a more advanced one, so he put the queen back in the test tube, and after confirming that the ability would not fail even after leaving him, he activated the next function.
"One-to-one manipulation, sensory acquisition."
A whirlwind of scenes replaces the original clear vision.
Human eyesight can see things dozens of kilometers away, but ants, even ants with very good eyesight, such as yellow lynx ants, can only see things a few meters away at most, no way, the size of the eyes limits their viewing angle, this kind of vision in humans can basically be called "helpless, blind" vision is already clairvoyant level for them.
Zhong Heng, who had finally adapted from the dizziness, saw that due to the refraction of the light through the test tube, everything around was blurry, except for the white expanse, as if he had snow blindness, and it seemed that the ants had no merit in terms of vision.
However, it also means that when God closes a door for it, it will naturally open a window for it, and although the eyesight is still this bird-like even if it is at the top of its kind, the other senses of the ant are far more acute than the final balance of human beings.
Beyond the ordinary sense of touch, as well as the sense of smell.
Ants are very sensitive to shocks, which is why they are almost blind enough to accurately sense changes in weather and even geological conditions, and to prepare for a move before a disaster strikes.
This is the induction of vibration, and now the final balance's induction of vibration has reached the level of subtlety, and countless chaotic vibration bands have passed into his brain through the two antennas of his head as an antenna, and the chaotic vibration of large or small vibrations has made his head dizzy again, and he almost fainted.
This is just the first time I feel uncomfortable, not that I can't adapt, after all, the simple brain of ants can correctly process the incoming vibration information, not to mention that the final balance of this belongs to humans is many times more complex than that of ants, and the difference in computing power is almost equivalent to the difference between the brain of the first generation of electronic computers and modern supercomputers.
Soon, he got used to the feeling, wonderful, so wonderful, that every vibration that came to his brain could not be clear, and under the processing of his own brain, which was many times more powerful than an ant, this information was much clearer than that of an ant with a simple brain.
The ant's sense of touch + the human brain can be called omniscient, Zhong Heng can feel the vibration caused by the footsteps of the toddler downstairs, he can feel the slight vibration caused by the cicada in the middle of summer, and even, he feels that dozens of kilometers away, a violent tremor is happening.
It seems to be a quarry passing by on the way here.
Another keen sense, the olfactory sense, is a more peculiar experience than the sense of touch.
Ants have no sense of hearing, and their main mode of communication is to communicate their intentions by relying on pheromones secreted by their antennae, which are the blind canes that are commonly used to find their way and the receivers of various other pheromones in the air.
It is through this pair of receivers that ants can complete the work of identifying friend and foe, receiving commands, searching for food, etc., and even they can "leave a message note" by saying their own pheromones and smearing them on foreign objects, so that other ants can receive them through their antennae!
This is simply an alternative kind of "text", in addition to the defect of not being able to express overly complex information, it is even faster than human beings who rely on hearing and visual transmission to receive information.
The final balance could vaguely sense the message emitted by the queen ant through pheromones, the general meaning of which was incoherent due to the queen's IQ limitations, but he could roughly understand it when he got the sensory exchange.
The message here roughly means something like this: dangerous...... Leave...... No...... I don't know...... Stop it...... Disappear...... Incomprehensible.
I've learned all about this in books before, but it's a completely different concept than being there. The first time I experienced it myself, I had to give a thumbs up to the queen ant after cutting off the sensory acquisition - the ability of the ant is amazing!
Cutting off the sensory exchange with the queen ant, removing the one-on-one control, the final balance began to test the last ability, and gave the command to maneuver.
Fearing that the queen's fragile spirit would collapse in an operation beyond its capabilities, the final balance did not dare to give too difficult an order, not even a simple order for the queen ant to remove the cotton from the mouth of the test tube, his first order was:
Dine.
The queen crawled to the thighs of a cricket that had been caught on the way back to the food in the test tube, and began to feast on it when it was hungry and in dire need of nutrition.
"Stop eating, lay eggs." Final Heng commanded again.
The queen did so, and she stopped chewing, and a large mass of eggs that looked like tiny grains of rice gushed out of her buttocks and landed on the test tube with mucus.
"If this ability is known to those who play with ants, they can't envy me to death, they can't solve the problem of not laying eggs after they can't solve it for thousands of years, and I will solve it in one sentence." Zhong Heng complained secretly, and gave another order to drink water, and the queen ant stopped what she was doing again, climbed onto the wet cotton ball and began to greedily suck on the damp water stains.
After giving this order, the test of all abilities can basically be declared a successful one, and the final balance has cut off the connection with the yellow lynx queen, leaving only the lone queen ant to look at the extra egg masses and the gnawed cricket thighs in a daze.
He probably understands the puppet manipulation, the difference between one-to-one control and order control, and the difference between the three is probably Yuri's mental control, the difference between the seizure of evil ghosts and the coercion of feudal monarchs, although the effect achieved is that the final balance calls it to the east, it will definitely not go west, but under the puppet control and one-to-one control, the ** control insect has no consciousness of its own, and there is it under the command control.
For example, under the control of the puppet, the puppet gives the order to eat under the final balance, and the yellow ant queen is completely the puppet of the final balance, when there is no order or an order is completed and the next order has not yet been given, it is as frozen as a zombie, but once it receives the order, it will never stop if it does not support itself to death. One-on-one manipulation is that the consciousness of the final balance is possessed into the body of the queen of yellow ants like a ghost, and whether it is full or not depends on the feeling of hunger and satiety and the domination of its physical body by the consciousness of the final balance attached to it.
Under the control of the final order, the degree of execution of the task in this state completely depends on the understanding of the queen ant, although it cannot disobey the order of the final balance, but it will stop when it feels full, and it may be stimulated by the outside world to desert or even interrupt the process of eating because of some stimuli, because these are the orders to eat in its understanding have been completed.
The three control methods have their own merits, puppet control and one-to-one control need people to stare at, thinking is people, doing is insects, but ordering control is not needed, thinking is insects, and doing is also insects.
They have different scopes of application, and if you need bugs to do something more difficult, such as detecting and infiltrating and needing to obtain intelligence information, it is better to control one-on-one. If the thing you want to do is not difficult, such as just asking it to lay eggs and explode more troops, unless it is an emergency, then it is better to give orders and control. And if the difficulty of the work needs to be just right, the simple mechanical nature of the long time but the slightest error is not tolerated, such as the need for bugs to enter the interior of some machines to clean up the debris inside, although the difficulty is not high, but the bugs are not controlled by instinct and bite the fragile components inside the machine, then this is where the puppet control comes in.
In the tube, the pheromone word reappeared: incomprehensible.
