The appetite of the blackhead is much smaller than that of the mature larvae. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Perhaps it is already an adult, and the body has stopped developing, and only needs to maintain daily consumption, so it eats relatively little.

Interestingly, the scrap metal that Shen Cong threw to the blackhead to eat, the blackhead did not eat it directly, but took the scrap metal in his mouth, ran all the way to the plastic box, and sent it to the mature larvae. After making sure that the mature larvae did not eat it, it simply ate a few bites and then threw it aside.

"What kind of behavior is this? Submit to? Not quite like that, there is no hierarchy of ant colonies, and individual members are equal to each other. Then, it should be fed, the blackhead may be a worker ant who picks up food from the outside and brings it back to the nest to feed the larvae. ”

"Still." Shen Cong sighed regretfully, "Just two ants, they can't form a community at all, unless the mature larvae are queen ants...... But queens don't mate, and they can't lay eggs. ”

The queen ant is a female ant with wings, and male and female ants in different colonies will mate during the wedding season. After mating, the female ants shed their wings and began to build a nest to become the queen, and the sperm of the male ants can be stored in the queen's body for several years, enough for the queen to lay eggs whenever and wherever necessary.

Immediately, Shen Cong thought of the time when the short fierce ant queen died, there were several batches of ants, each picking up a few eggs and leaving.

Perhaps some of those eggs can develop into male and female eggs, which can form new colonies when they grow.

Shaking his head, Shen Cong no longer thought too far.

He decided to raise the blackhead as a dog, and while the blackhead was still a blank piece of paper, he trained it to accept various commands. With this extra job, the days suddenly become much more interesting in the boring weather.

"Blackhead, bring me my welding gun!"

"You clamp lightly, don't break the clip!"

"Blackhead, go outside and bring me a rock...... It's that stone. ”

"Very good, very good, this is the iron lump that rewards you, eat it."

"Blackhead, clip this bone for me, yes, that's it."

"Blackhead, help me hand over the rhinoceros horn cup, don't spill the water, otherwise you won't be allowed to eat iron today!"

During the training, Shen Cong found that the blackhead's ability to accept instructions was still very clear. But it can't be allowed to do too detailed work, such as serving the rhinoceros horn cup, when the rhinoceros horn cup reached Shen Cong's hand, the water was half spilled, not to mention, the appearance of the cup was sandwiched by the blackhead and two marks.

Blackheads can't control their strength in a subtle way.

It can lift 30kg of stones roughly, which only requires force, but it requires soft force to clamp the cup, and the blackhead cannot grasp it.

Another point is that the blackhead talent has increased, the level has increased, and the combat power has also been strengthened, but the utilization of activity is still zero.

Its palate can theoretically be easily cut through metal, after all, from the larvae, they can scrape off the metal powder and devour it.

But in fact, the blackhead still uses his mouthparts to bite the metal, scrape off the crumbs and devour them.

Instead of utilizing the palate, the metal is cut into small pieces.

Shen Cong couldn't teach it this, the activity was too complicated.

"The blackhead and the ant power god are big, and it is a little inconvenient to continue to keep them in the King Kong car, and besides, insects are insects after all, and they need to be guarded against. I knew that I shouldn't have dismantled the Humvee, so I could convert it into a nanny car and throw the blackheads and ant gods into it to raise. ”

When he was a larvae, Shen Cong raised these two ants, which was quite interesting.

But the King Kong was loaded with too many things, and there was basically no extra place to move except for the aisle in the middle of the carriage and the utility room at the back door.

The kitchen and bedroom are also not places where blackheads and ant gods can go.

"And the King Kong has already alloyed most of my supplies, and there are no more resources in the car to alloy it, so it would be nice if I could build another carriage. It can not only provide the needs of the King Kong alloy, but also serve as a breeding room for blackheads and ant power gods, and can also store some unimportant materials to make room for the King Kong carriage. ”

"Go to the main city and see if there are any abandoned truck beds."

……

The sky cleared in the evening, just in time to see the sunset scene, a rainbow hanging in the sky.

It's beautiful.

Shen Cong did not rush to drive the King Kong down the mountain, he planned to continue to camp at the top of the mountain for one night, and then go down the mountain early tomorrow morning. Then take a look around the main city area, look for the evolutionary tree that may have fruit, and strengthen your physical fitness, at least on the same level as the Vajra.

This is the way to completely eliminate the phenomenon of siphoning.

Waiting until the next morning, Shen Cong got up to check the surrounding situation, and suddenly found that Qishan had changed.

Yesterday it was a bare barren mountain, but today it is a dark green mountain, and on the ground, a layer of black-green things is densely covered with the entire Qishan, and even the surroundings of the King Kong have been surrounded by this kind of thing.

"What is this?"

Shen Cong carefully collected a little with a fork, put on plastic gloves, and checked this kind of thing.

"It's a lot like a local dish, but it's a little different, I can't say what the difference is." Shen Cong broke the lichen vegetables, and it felt very tender, almost as soft as fungus.

This is indeed the local vegetable that Shen Cong has eaten.

Ground cabbage is a common exotic plant, also known as lichen, which is precisely a symbiont of fungi and algae. Algae photosynthesis produces nutrients, and the fungus preys on it, and surrounds the algae, isolating them from the outside world, so that the algae can only rely on the fungus to provide the substances they need to grow, so that they can achieve symbiosis.

"Has this crust vegetable also mutated?" Shen Cong could feel that the ground vegetables emitted weak active radiation, and only mutated animals and plants would emit active radiation.

It is difficult to define whether the ground vegetable is a plant or a fungus.

However, since it has been mutated, Shen Cong also treats it as a mutated animal and plant and carefully studies the ground vegetables. The mutated ground vegetables were given a name of "iron vegetables", and the data of the ground vegetables were recorded.

"Ironbark cabbage, a mutated lichen creature, cannot be divided into attributes, and its growth is not much different from that of ordinary ground cabbage, but it can spread to a small hill in one night, and its reproductive ability is amazing. Level data lv0.083, PK0.001, GS0.012, belong to the weakest mutant creatures I've ever seen. ”

The appearance of iron cabbage gave Shen Cong a new perspective on the ecological environment of the barren belt.

The variation brought about by activity may not simply destroy the ecology of a place, although the food chain has become fragmented due to the extinction of most species due to the catastrophe. But mutation also makes the evolutionary direction of living things variable, just like this iron cabbage.

Before the rainstorm, Shen Cong didn't think that this low-level creature would survive, but after the rainstorm, the iron cabbage quickly occupied the entire Qishan, and in terms of survivability, it was obviously more powerful than the higher animals and plants.

And with tin vegetables, there may be evolved beasts that eat tin vegetables for a living, and then supplement the complete food chain.

So the question is, Shen Cong looked at the tin vegetables all over the ground: "Can you eat tin vegetables?" ”
