Worker ants don't like to move in winter.

Long Bai took Mo Lan, juniper, and juniper to ride the throne and inspect the terrain of the north of the mountain.

Near the territory of Merlan there are two streams that converge into a ravine at the foot of the mountain, winding around the valley and winding eastward.

"We can use stones and clay to build a levee about 50 meters long to block the mouth of the valley over there."

"There's a gap over there, and we need to dig up and fill it."

"If the reservoir is to be built, it will be bigger, and in the future, this reservoir can also take on the task of irrigation in the dry season of the orchards in the north of the mountain. Therefore, we also need to dig an irrigation diversion canal to the west. The clay from which the canals were excavated was also used in the construction of the embankments. ”

"Not only do we need to increase the number of specialized ants responsible for the excavation, but we also need at least 500 medium and large worker ants dedicated to the handling. At present, the ant nest can only be transferred to a maximum of 200 birds, and about 300 more need to be added......"

Lying on the edge of the throne, the dragon cypress pointed with its tentacles, explained his plan, and finally, took control of the throne and landed on the gentle slope north of the valley floor.

"Mo Lan, at the beginning of spring next year, I will first command the worker ants to dig a pond about 12 meters long and 1.5 meters deep for you here. After you have completed your evolution, you will first sow the seed of the god of gourd. ”

"It is expected that in the following year, the dam will be repaired and the reservoir will be filled with water."

Mo Lan worried: "Is 12 meters too small on the side?" In case of drought......"

Long Bai pointed to the top of the slope and said, "Then dig another reservoir with a side length of 6 meters and a depth of 2 meters above, and reserve more." ”

"Okay." Mo Lan was a little relieved.

Long Bai switched the mode of communication, shook his tentacles, and repeated his plan to the juniper beside him.

"Understood~" Juniper didn't understand a little, and said:

"Dragon cypress ant king, add 100 special chemical ants, 300 large and medium-sized worker ants, the food problem will be very serious! Correspondingly, the number of specialized blue ants needs to be increased to 200, so that you and Mo Lan can rest assured that they can travel far away. ”

Long Bai: "Cultivate another giant soldier ant, specially responsible for hiking and hunting, go west, follow the divine power barrier, south to north, there is endless food." Merlan and I have given us names, and it's called Giant Cypress. ”

Listening to the conversation, Juniper's antennae trembled, and he said excitedly: "King! I have a suggestion! The giant cypress is here to protect the territory, and I am responsible for leading the soldiers to fight and hunt! ”

"Juniper!"

Long Bai scolded, his tentacles swung and pumped on the head of the juniper, thought about it, did not directly deny it, and said: "When the giant cypress is born, let's see." ”

Long Bai turned his head to Yuanbai and said, "Mo Lan and I won't go out this winter. You command the worker ants to dig through the tunnel running through the north and south of the mountain as soon as possible, and build the nest in the north of the mountain. ”

"Mo Lan, we are not very afraid of the cold. We can dig the pond here slowly and dig it for a winter. If you have enough time, you can dig a little bigger. ”

"Good!" Mo Lan agreed.

……

If the dragon cypress takes control of the throne in winter and travels in search of the Force, it will not be able to produce ant eggs, as the low temperature at night can freeze the eggs and larvae.

Stay in Xianglan Mountain to run the ant country with peace of mind.

The Force has enough food, and the giant soldier ant 'Giant Cypress' begins to cultivate.

Nowadays, the 5th instar ant king, the frequency of the throne to produce ant eggs is 5 every 4 days.

Let's start with 20 specialized blue ants to supplement the logistics reserve capacity.

Then there are the special chemical ants, which need to be supplemented with 100 of them.

It will take a winter.

Then there are medium and large worker ants...... The demand is quite large, and it is planned to be gradually completed in the spring, summer and autumn of the next year.

Soldier ants will definitely have battle damage when they travel far to hunt for food, and they need to replenish soldier ants halfway.

……

Tranquil winter.

Mo Lan and Long Bai went out early and returned late, digging a pond in the north of the mountain.

Clearing the grass and trees, digging up the floating soil, sewing bags from sheepskin, and carrying it away from the throne.

The potential is weak, and the efficiency is not very good.

The cypress also needs to enter the nest frequently to release pheromones to stimulate the differentiation and development of the 'giant cypress' in the larval stage.

The larvae of specialized blue ants and soldier ants eat quite a lot, and every once in a while, they also need to enter the mountains and forests with Long Bai and Mo Lan to hunt large animals and supplement food for the nest.

When the flower spikes were extracted from the mountain Molan, the 12-meter-long pond only dug a silhouette less than half a meter deep.

Juniper instructed the worker ants to dig through the tunnel through the mountain range, leading to the cave where Merlan lived, and opened another nest.

Every 100 meters in the tunnel is a small nest, there are soldiers or workers living all the year round, there is an emergency in the south or north of the mountain, the information can be quickly transmitted to the opposite side, and the soldiers and ants can be mobilized in time to help.

……

The wheel of time flies.

Orchid blossoms.

Spring returns to the earth. Busy season.

This year has been unprecedentedly busy.

The territory ordered planting plants to loosen the soil and apply fertilizer.

Sow new seeds.

Cypress flowers bloom, and the flowers are properly thinned according to convention.

Clean up the reclaimed wasteland, transplant the cultivated green tree, large-fruited hemlock, and chestnut seedlings.

Sow the seeds of silver cypress and juniper grandiflora to cultivate new seedlings.

The two hills in the north and south of the mountain are planned to be planted with cypress trees, and the land reclaimed last year needs to be ploughed, weeded, and cooked again.

The Shannan Reservoir, where the blue god-given seed took root, still needs to sow rice and sow the seeds of black lotus seeds and seeds.

In the north of the mountain, where the most busy pond for the god-given seed of Molan to take root continues to be dug deeply, and the pool above that is specially used for water storage must also be excavated at the same time.

The slope here is located above the ditch and cannot be drained, so it needs to be dug up as soon as possible to store water while it is rainy in spring.

The number of large and medium-sized worker ants responsible for carrying is insufficient, and the dragon cypress still needs to be hoisted by the Throne of Domination.

Mo Lan is cleaning up the weak plants that have not grown well in previous years, and transplanting newly cultivated orchid seedlings. Clean up the nursery and sow the 'hybrid orchids' that were studied last year.

Specialized soldier ants bred in winter are being born one after another.

Mo Lan is also responsible for hunting for the ant colony, and he is a little busy and does not know what to do.

……

It's noon in the spring.

The excavation project in Shanbei is in full swing.

The downhill pond and the uphill pond were dug at the same time, and the dragon cypress and juniper each directed the worker ants to work.

Suddenly a familiar and intense pheromone came from the hillside in the distance.

Two giant soldier ants rushed to the scene surrounded by hundreds of specialized soldier ants.

"King, the giant cypress feather has been born!"

Juniper was the first to rush in front of Long Bai, and hurriedly explained, "I didn't make trouble! It broke through the cocoon of the worm by itself, and then wandered around and ran north of the mountain. It's looking for the king......"

You're not fooling yourself!

Long Bai waved his tentacles, whipped the juniper twice, turned his head and shook his tentacles, and beckoned the giant cypress to step forward.

Examine it carefully.

Juniper is currently in its second instar stage and has evolved once.

The giant cypress is slightly smaller than the juniper, with well-developed jaws and slender and powerful limbs, which is a normal cocoon.

The reason for the birth is that the carapace is not black enough.

"The King's ......"

At the urging of the juniper, the giant cypress shook its tentacles and beckoned to the dragon cypress.

"Giant cypress!" Juniper stepped forward to greet him.

"Juniper ......" The giant cypress timidly retreated behind the juniper, and shook its tentacles to command the specialized soldier ants to protect themselves.

Long Bai was dumbfounded: What's the matter with this giant soldier ant?

Introverted and shy?

Or are you naturally timid and cowardly?

The giant soldier ant has to lead the soldier ant in battle, and if you are cowardly, you will be in trouble.

Long Bai thought for a moment, shook his tentacles, and ordered: "Juniper, you take the giant cypress to familiarize yourself with the territory, and then explain some elementary knowledge to it." ”
