The Throne of Domination produces eggs, and the worker ants bred are smarter than the eggs bred by the normal female queen, and have a certain memory and learning ability, and will be flexible.

Over the years, the worker ants have dug ant nests, biogas digesters, ponds, tunnels, and Shanbei Reservoirs, and they have accumulated rich excavation experience, and they have become skilled excavators one by one.

Long Bai also observed that after the newly born worker ants joined the excavation team, they were a little overwhelmed at first, and then the old worker ants would go up to pass on the experience.

New worker ants quickly become proficient.

This is an ability that the worker ants bred by the female queen ant laying eggs do not possess at all.

……

Dig the steep slope on the north side of the valley floor first.

The dragon cypress is still in charge of controlling the lifting of the throne, and commanding the ant colony.

The main command is in charge of the juniper.

Juniper leads the soldier ants and assists in carrying rocks.

Currently, the Throne of Domination produces 6 eggs every four days.

This also means that every four days, six new worker ants join the digging army.

The size of the team involved in the work continues to grow.

As far as the eye can see, the mountains and mountains are densely packed with ants, one team after another, in an orderly and busy manner.

The good times of early summer have passed in a hurry.

midsummer

The scorching sun of the day can roast dead ants.

Long Bai adjusted the work and rest time, and everyone returned to the nest to rest during the day and work at night.

For half a month, there is no cloud in the sky in the dry season.

green quimbnut, golden pine nut, king fir, kui chestnut, black king peach, and spotted star pear transplanted from the orchard on pandan mountain; the various colors of orchid grass in Molan; There are also various cypress saplings from the nursery at the foot of the mountain, as well as silver cypress saplings that were transplanted on a large scale just this spring, and so on, which have to be irrigated every three to five days.

The cultivation of ordinary plants has begun to take shape, and the workload is quite large.

The excavation of the Shannan Reservoir has been seriously delayed.

Fortunately, the hot and dry weather only lasted for about 20 days and did not turn into a drought.

But the situation is not so good,

After the dry season, the clouds cover the sky and linger, and it rains repeatedly, and there is a thunderstorm at every turn.

The reservoir works could not be carried out normally.

Long Bai simply gave the worker ants a holiday and a few days off.

This fall, the Oni Fan God-given Seed is ripe and requires 800 rough stones.

Long Bai and Mo Lan braved the rain to go on the road, and sent the original stone to the ghost fan first, so as to save time and run again.

Long Bai added another night shift, controlled the Throne flight until late at night, rested for half the night, and set off again the next morning.

Day and night, fly in a straight line, and arrive at the place in three days.

It's also raining on this side of Onifan Mountain.

The rain was not heavy.

The ghost fan lies at the mouth of the cave where he lives.

Raspberry lies on top of the ghost fan's head.

"They're coming!" The ghost fan was excited and jumped up.

The raspberry on top of his head was caught off guard and hit the roof of the cave solidly.

"Ah~squeak~"

Raspberry screamed.

"Raspberry?"

The ghost fan panicked, and his mental power swept through the inspection.

Fortunately, there were no injuries.

Raspberries are already 'big beetles' with a body length of more than 10 centimeters, so they are not so easily injured.

"Ant honey is coming." The ghost fan appeases.

"Dragon cypress? Merlan! Didn't they say autumn was coming? ”

"It's been raining lately, so there's nothing to do."

"Oh-"

The raspberry spreads its elytra, flapps its wings, glides out of the cave, and stands in the rain to watch.

The blue ball passed through the rain curtain and slowly arrived.

"Raspberry!"

Long Bai greeted.

"How old are you?"

Mo Lan asked.

"6 years old!"

Raspberry was not at all polite with Long Bai and Mo Lan, flapped his wings, hovered and landed on the throne, and looked at the 'hydrological shield' that blocked the rain.

"Dragon cypress. Merlan. ”

"Ghost fan."

Say hello to each other.

Mo Lan jumped up with the spider silk bag containing the original stone, flipped her wings, and landed lightly.

Long Bai: "The rough stone was sent in advance, so we won't be able to come in the fall." The territory is busy, there are many things to do, come back in winter. ”

"Oh...... Thank you very much! Hasn't the reservoir been dug yet? ”

The ghost fan stared straight at Mo Lan.

I saw that after Mo Lan landed, the blue carapace changed at a speed visible to the compound eye, merging with the cave environment.

The innate abilities of the Flower Mantis tribe, the Flower Mantis warriors are all natural stealth killers.

"Mo Lan, you have been promoted to a senior warrior! Congratulations. ”

"What a great ability!"

The ghost fan is sincerely admired and envious.

Mo Lan: "Ghost Fan, didn't you awaken the metal-based ability in advance?" ”

Ghost Fan: "It's not amazing. You can only extract a little metal grit from the sand and then manipulate the metal grit to drill holes in the wood, and nothing else is useful. ”

The ghost fan asked again, "Long Bai, do you have the ability to water the system?" ”

Long Bai: "It's also wasted." It doesn't serve any purpose at all. ”

Raspberry crawled up and down on the throne, and finally lay motionless on the gourd filled with ant honey, his head spinning around, looking at the dragon cypress, then at Merlan, and then at the ghost fan.

Long Bai turned his head and said, "Raspberry, this jar of ant honey is for you, take it and eat it." ”

"Oh~Woo~"

"Thank you, Cypress!"

Receiving the promise, Raspberry climbed down the gourd, grabbed the spider silk rope tied to the bottleneck, and dragged it with difficulty.

Mo Lan jumped onto the throne and carried the raspberry with him.

Long Bai: "Ghost fan, you count the rough stones and see if the number is right." ”

Ghost Fan: "No need. I believe in you. ”

Cypress: "Thank you for your trust. ”

Long Bai: "Then let's not stay longer, and go back." Xianglan Mountain still has endless work waiting for us. ”

Ghost Fan: "Wait a minute! ...... Melan"

Ghost Fan asked a little embarrassedly, "Mo Lan, your god-given seed...... Blooming this year? ”

Mo Lan: "It's blooming. There are 93 branches, each bearing one fruit and 5 seeds. The first batch was produced, with a total output of 465 seeds. The flower and fruit cycle is still uncertain, and it is likely that the fruit will ripen next year, or it may be the year after tomorrow. ”

"Oh-"

Ghost Fan: "Is this a high yield?" ”

Mo Lan: "Not high, not low. ”

Ghost Fan: "That's good." Remember to arrange some for me and Raspberry. ”

Mo Lan: "Of course! Certain! ”

…

…

…

The clouds do not disperse.

The rain was falling intermittently.

On the way back, Long Bai and Mo Lan went to visit Bailiu and chatted with him for a long time.

I stayed up all night and hurried, and it took another day and a half to return to Xianglan Mountain.

A cool breeze from the northwest blew through, and after a rainstorm, the sky was finally clear.

Fine.

Start.

The sun is no longer so scorching in late summer, and the schedule is adjusted normally, working during the day and resting at night.

A month later,

The steep slope on the north side of the mountain range has been cut into a cliff.

The planned reservoir has begun to take shape, with a length of more than 300 meters in the east-west direction and about 50 meters in the widest part of the north-south direction.

The lower valley mouth is the narrowest, only a dozen meters wide.

Long Bai led a group of worker ants and was responsible for widening the valley mouth.

Juniper led a group of worker ants to dig up the southern slope where the seed of the god of Rhizopus aurantis took root, and dug up the slope a little.

Juniper commands the soldier ants, hunting for food on long journeys, and assisting in the removal of rubble.

Mo Lan is not idle, the number of worker ants is growing steadily, and it also assists the soldier ants in hunting for food.

In autumn, a large number of wild plants in the mountains and forests are ripe, and Mo Lan has to search for God-given seeds and collect wild fruits.

……

Another month later,

Long Bai led the ant colony to widen the mouth of the valley to 20 meters.

In late autumn,

Sleep evolved once, and the body length finally reached 50 centimeters.

After the cultivation of the six wood life seeds is completed, carefully collect, choose a good place in advance, and the fertile land, just wait for the next spring to be sown in the soil.

Purple kiwifruit was selected as the lifeline of the intermediate ant king in the 9th instar stage.

Take a day off and start digging the foundations of the embankment.
