Chapter 378: The Growth of an Ant Colony
South Sour Zao Mountain.
The god-given seed of red cypress is in the period of qualitative change of fruit ripening, and it is accelerating the absorption of the Force.
Mo Lan guarded under the tree, the rough stones covered the ground, walking unhurriedly, gathering the original energy to the tips of his toes, and turning the air flow to a high degree of condensation and rotation, forming a sharp whirlwind, breaking the rough stones one by one.
A puff of force burst open, sucked out by the red cypress god-given seed.
The ant colonies that are resident in the nests of Nansao Zao Mountain are all attracted by the movement here, and they form groups of three or five, ten and eight of them gather in a group, standing not far away and looking at the onlookers.
"Wow~"
Mo Lan jumped suddenly, turned his head in the air, flapped his wings, and his body turned into a blue and white streamer, soaring straight into the sky.
Red juniper: "??? β
Where to?
Red cypress is a little confused: My fruit is ripe, and it is rapidly consuming the Force.
The nearby onlookers saw the two kings leaving, and they all stepped forward.
In previous years, when the command ants were stationed, at this time, the worker ants would be instructed to step forward to scrape the powder of the rough stone to replenish the force for the god-given seeds of the red cypress......
There was no command ant to give orders this year.
There are also no written instructions.
The mountain-level special chemical ants with large, medium and small worker ants circled around the rough stones scattered on the ground, hesitating.
- God-given seeds are ripe and urgently need to replenish the Force.
- The Rough Stone is the most important treasure of the kingdom, and it cannot be used indiscriminately without the command of the Ant King.
A contradiction arises.
Some workers carried the scattered rough stones back to the spider silk bag and put them away.
Another worker ant moved the rough stone out of the spider silk bag, holding its jaw teeth, but did not dare to use it......
β¦β¦
Above the white clouds.
As soon as the throne of domination entered the range of Nansan Zao Mountain, the blue and white light and shadow flickered, and Mo Lan greeted him, rejoicing and exclaiming.
"Wow!"
"Dragon Cypress!"
"You're too accurate, aren't you? As soon as the fruit of the seed of the red cypress god entered the qualitative transformation of the original energy, you came. β
Is it such a coincidence? Long Bai was stunned for a moment, and said indifferently: "It's just a little thing to use your brain a little." No big deal. β
Long Bai asked, "What happened to the Sea Blue God-given Seed?" β
"About 5 meters."
Mo Lan asked, "What about the seed given by the White Barberry God?" β
Is it only 5 meters?
Mountain Lord-level God-given seeds!
That's a slow growth rate.
Long Bai suddenly replied a little badly, and said nonsense: "Everything is going well, better than expected." β
"Oh!"
Mo Lan didn't dig deeper, circled and landed, stood at the top of the throne's back, his eyes fell on Heiti, and asked, "Heti came over to replace me?" β
Cypress: "Yes. β
Long Bai: "Mo Lan, let's run quickly, quickly complete the autumn traveling merchant trade, and then rush back to the Purple Linden Insect Country." In the winter, you and the spruce stay over there. Ghost Fan and White Rice returned to the territory to rest for a while, and then went to the Jianlan Plain to collect iron sand and make metal cans. Red maple and nut return to their territory for the winter. β
Long Bai: "I have a lot of things to do, and after I am busy, I also stay in the country of purple linden insects for the winter." β
Mo Lan: "Got it! β
Long Bai: "Mo Lan, you will also stay in the Purple Linden Insect Country next year." Heiti rested for a year in Nansour Zao Mountain. β
Mo Lan: "Good! β
Hei Ti was only 8 years old senior Zuo Wang, he couldn't understand what he was saying, and when he saw Mo Lan move his tentacles to agree, he retorted depressedly: "It's not good-"
β¦β¦
The throne of domination fell quickly, hovering over the waist of the red cypress god-given seed, and the spiritual power swept by.
The tree is strong, full of life, and in excellent condition.
"Huh?"
"Why?"
Mo Lan suddenly jumped up, raised his forefoot, and pointed down vigorously, "Long Bai!" Dragon Cypress! Look! β
Under the tree,
Under the command of the mountain-level special chemical ants, large, medium and small worker ants are working in an orderly manner, scraping the rough stone and sprinkling the rough stone powder to replenish the force for the red juniper god-given seed.
Long Bai reacted immediately.
Heiti climbed to the edge of the throne, glanced down, and wondered, "King, did you leave a character command?" How dare the worker ants touch the rough stone? β
"How can there be a character instruction ......?"
Long Bai turned his head and said strangely: "Mo Lan, you commanded?" β
Merlan: "I've tried to command them...... No response......"
"Dragon Cypress!"
The red cypress greeted, seeing that Long Bai did not respond, he waited for a few seconds and hurriedly called: "Long Bai!" Dragon Cypress! Dragon Cypress ......"
"Red cypress!"
The dragon cypress responded, and the control of the throne slowly descended, and docked on the ground.
Heiti jumped down, ran forward first, shook his tentacles, and asked a mountain master-level special chemical ant, "Who told you to use the original stone?" β
The special ant shook its two tentacles, and its body turned around, uneasy.
"King!"
Heiti turned around and reported, "Look, are they claiming it on their own?" β
"Seems to be."
Long Bai asked, "Red cypress, the worker ants themselves use the original stones to help you replenish the Force?" β
"yesβ"
"The cypress fruit is ripening, and I need the Force urgently. As soon as Mo Lan left, the ant colony surrounded them, and then they competed with each other, and some worker ants collected the rough stones scattered on the ground and put them into spider silk bags; Some worker ants moved the rough stone out of the spider silk bag ......"
"Then, they came to a consensus and began using the rough stones in an organized and orderly manner to replenish my Force."
"Oh!"
Long Bai pondered it and roughly understood.
"The special chemical ants at the mountain master level have good memory and learning ability, as well as a long lifespan. Over time, they accumulate knowledge and insight, and gradually develop the ability to make independent judgments. β
"Breaking away from the command ant and encountering something that I don't know how to deal with, the specialized ant begins to have its own ideas......"
"However, in the face of the same problem, each specialized ant has its own independent ideas and judgments, so there will be contradictions and confusion."
"Ant people are by nature, and when different opinions are agreed, they will act in unison."
Long Bai explained to Mo Lan, Heiti, and Red Cypress at the same time, and finally said: "If you have time, you can teach the specialized ants in a unified way, and the next time, when they encounter similar problems, they can quickly reach a consensus." β
It's a novelty, but it's not a very difficult phenomenon to understand.
In the future, the evolution of the lord level and the king level, these specialized ants will have a stronger learning ability and a stronger ability to make independent judgments, supplemented by text commands, they can do a lot of things away from the ant king and command ants.
Skip the matter.
Long Bai raised his head, and his spiritual power expanded and swept up and down.
After a year of growth, the height of the red cypress god-given tree is more than 65 meters, and it has the spirit of a 'towering tree'.
Long Bai retracted his gaze, and at the same time explained to Heiti and Red Cypress: "Bloom next year, keep 1,000 flowers directly." After about 10 years, after the height of the tree exceeds 100 meters, 1,500 flowers are retained each year, and after that, depending on the situation, the production rate increases to 2,000. β
"Got it. King. β
Heti agreed.
"Okayβ"
The red cypress also agreed, and asked, "Long Bai, have you been in the Purple Linden Insect Country in the north this year?" β
Cypress: "Yes. I guard the freshly sown seed of barberry God. β
The red cypress asked, "Does the God-given seed of the white barberry grow fast?" β
Long Bai: "...... soon"
Long Bai waved his tentacles, signaling Heiti to hurry up and stay by himself, chatting with the red cypress, and explaining to it what had happened in the past year.
From noon, we talked until mid-afternoon.
Long Bai went with Mo Lan to say goodbye to the two god-given seeds of chestnut bean and sea blue.
The throne headed east, and rushed to Kiwi Mountain overnight.
Acer and Acer chinensis evolved into the main level of the mountain, and the annual yield of the green and red kiwifruit species increased dramatically.
The cloudworm eats some first, and then you can consider selling the caravan in the form of 'queen honey'.
This year, there are four excellent god-given seeds, such as white rice fruit, ghost fan wood, azure persimmon, and black fruit lingonberry, which are ripe and harvested.
Very busy. (End of chapter)
