Chapter 428: Goldfinger (Part II)
Although the first ant that succeeded in making an impact died, Xiang Kun's experiment found its way.
Next, he set his sights on the ant species he encountered in the mountains and forests, the Pseudo-bluton-bellied Archback Ant, and began to make continuous attempts.
In the first few times, he was in the "supersensory state", and continued to influence a single ant through the "super-conjugated", so that its body and habits had some changes, and he was able to begin to guide its behavior to a certain extent.
But none of these ants survived for long, and the longest lasted only three hours after the renovation took place.
Then Xiang Kun finally relied on the interpretation of cognitive information in the "supersensory state", and after more than a dozen attempts, he successfully brought an ant into the "supersensory item system".
I don't know if this ant's IQ is too low, or the way of integration is too rough and direct, the connection with Xiang Kun is very weak, and it doesn't feel very close to "Golden Shining" and "Egg Yolk Pie" at all.
However, after this ant is integrated into the "Super Sensing Item System", it is much easier for Xiang Kun to exert influence on it, and he can also give it various instructions more clearly.
Of course, these instructions are still limited to where to go, what to eat, and what targets to attack, which are relatively simple and straightforward types.
But Xiang Kun clearly felt that the ant still had a strong sense of panic, and unless it kept giving orders, it was always in a state close to manic, constantly wanting to attack other creatures around it.
After discussing with Lao Xia, Xiang Kun thought that this should be related to the characteristics of ants, and all ant families live in social groups and have a very strong social instinct drive.
Although the large worker ant of the bare-bellied archback ant that he established contact with has been very different from the original species under Xiang Kun's transformation, its instinct still makes it try to find a new colony that belongs to it to fulfill its duties. Obviously, Xiang Kun can't find a way to erase this instinct for the time being.
Xiang Kun's response plan is also very simple, that is, to directly find an ant queen to establish contact, pull into the "super sensory item system", and establish a simple social system of ants, so that the worker ant has a "queen ant" that can be guarded.
Since there are bare-bellied archback ants in the forest, there must be queens of bare-bellied archback ants, and for the current Xiang Kun, there is basically no possibility that he can't find any creatures in the forest.
In this season of continuous spring rain, not to mention those who climb on the ground, drill in the ground, or fly in the sky, within a certain range, he is sure to get it down.
Xiang Kun didn't have much effort, he quickly found the anthill, caught the queen ant, and with the experience of it, he quickly established a relationship with this big-ass pseudo-bare-bellied archback ant queen, and integrated it into the "super sensory item system".
To be honest, he doesn't quite understand why he caught so many animals and tried and failed, but the ants could succeed?
Xiang Kun did not continue to explore the special features of the ants for the time being, and after establishing contact with the queen ant, it was not long after putting the previous big worker ant on the side of the queen ant, and its state really stabilized.
And Xiang Kun's control of the queen ant is also much easier and easier than that of the worker ants.
Originally, Xiang Kun controlled the queen ant in order to enable the previous worker ants to regain their social group belonging, but what he didn't expect was that this queen ant gave him a very big surprise.
Like the worker ant, Xiang Kun also carried out a series of influences on the queen ant through the "super sensory state" and "super coupling", causing its form to change a lot, and even regrow wings for flight.
After being caught by Xiang Kun and establishing contact, the queen ant and the worker ant were separated from their original colony and brought back to a self-built house temporarily rented by Xiang Kun in Chongyun Village and kept indoors.
Both the queen ant and the worker ants eat very much, and their body size climbs rapidly, and the queen ant has reached the size of Xiang Kun's thumb, while the worker ants are close to the size of the little finger.
The queen ant soon began to lay eggs, the number of eggs was very large, and the hatching was also very fast, and the hatched ants also had wings, so that Xiang Kun was a little confused for a while whether this was a breeding ant or a "flying worker ant" that regained its wings like the queen ant. After all, he didn't give the queen an order to lay eggs, it was a spontaneous behavior.
But soon Xiang Kun was determined that these winged ants were not breeding ants, but "flying worker ants".
And in addition to these winged "flying worker ants", there are also some very small worker ants that are about the same size as rice grains, and these worker ants are also a little different from the original pseudo-bare-bellied archback ants.
After sensing the queen's intentions, Xiang Kun put these newborn worker ants outside the house, and then found that those "flying worker ants" have strong flight ability, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will think that they are flies or bees.
Those "little worker ants" are also very fast in moving on the ground, and they know how to drill into holes and crevices, and they are not weak in their ability to dig holes.
Standing in the yard, Xiang Kun can clearly feel the location of these worker ants even if he doesn't rely on his senses at all, and can also get some environmental information near the worker ants.
However, he did not get this information directly from these worker ants, he had no direct contact with these worker ants, he obtained this information through the queen ant who established the connection, and he also needed to indirectly assign tasks to these worker ants through the ant queen.
These worker ants are like weak sensory probes, which relay information through the ants.
The transmission of sensory information between Xiang Kun and the queen ant and the worker ant who had established contact in the first place can almost ignore the distance, and there is no delay in transmission. However, the information between those "flying worker ants", "small worker ants" and the queen ant is obviously not carried out through the "supersensory item system".
Xiang Kun didn't figure out the principle of information transmission between them for the time being, but through observation and experiments, he was sure that this was not the original way ants transmitted information, but more like the "transformation branches" and "reconstruction branches" created everywhere by the "mutant spider" he killed in the Qinling Mountains.
It seems that he unknowingly granted this ability to make special plants to the queen ant to a certain extent through the transformation of the "super sensory state".
The queen does not do this by grafting or reconstructing plants, but by laying eggs and using her workers to achieve the corresponding function.
They transmit information, which should be transmitted through nodes one by one, for short-distance teleportation, and then converge to the queen ant.
At present, due to the limited number, the content and distance they can transmit information are very limited, far inferior to Xiang Kun's own sensory ability.
But Xiang Kun can predict that when these special worker ants reach a certain number, they should be able to cover a large area in the future, just like the "mutant spider" set up "branches" everywhere in the forest to guard it.
Moreover, these "worker ants" obviously have many other applications in addition to perceiving information.
After establishing a stable connection, Xiang Kun asked Lao Xia, who had studied the ants with him, to name the queen ant and the big worker ant at the beginning.
Lao Xia did not hesitate to give the two ants the "names" of "Zero Zero One" and "Zero Zero Two", the big worker ant is "Zero Zero One", and the queen ant is "Zero Zero Two", which is simple, direct and easy to remember.
At this time, what was found by Zhou Rui on the back of the roadside chair on the pedestrian street was actually one of the "flying worker ants" born by "002", which was brought to the town by Xiang Kun.
After noticing that there were Zhou Rui, Miqiao, and Gao Shu among the people who came to the store to eat at noon, Xiang Kun had the idea of letting Zhou Rui "discover" a "flying worker ant", and realize the difference between the worker ants, and take it back to study.
Although the research base and laboratory that Lao Xia helped him build are already under construction, and some of the equipment has been ordered, there is still a long time before it is completed and put into use, and even if it is completed, he and Lao Xia's relevant professional knowledge is still lacking, and the equipment is not possible.
If "Shenxing Technology" is interested in that "flying worker ant" and conducts research, it will definitely be able to come up with a lot of research results that he and Lao Xia can't get at the moment.
He still has a lot of questions about how exactly the changes that his actions have caused to the ants have happened.
The team of Zhou Rui and Dr. Fang conducted research and observation, and he had a way to get more timely feedback through the black circle graffiti around Micho.
Even when necessary, they can guide their research direction through dreams within dreams.
From their research on "flying worker ants", we should be able to get a glimpse of their research on "mutated organisms" to a certain extent.
Anyway, the "flying worker ants" did not establish direct contact with him, so there was no need to worry about them finding out about him.
Originally, he was still a little worried that Zhou Rui would not be able to discover the peculiarity of the "flying worker ant", if he really ignored it, then he would have to find time to send it to their residence near Wushu Mountain.
Fortunately, Zhou Rui lived up to his label of "ant lover", and keenly discovered one of the eight "flying worker ants" arranged by Xiang Kun on the pedestrian street.
Behind Xiang Kun, Xia Libing also got up from the dining table, took a sip of a bowl of hot soup, and leaned over to him and looked out the window.
After snorting, she drank all the soup in the bowl, and after taking a sip of hot air, Xia Libing asked, "Did you succeed?" With her eyesight, she naturally couldn't see Miqiao Zhou Rui and the others who were already far away, but Xiang Kun had just told her about his plan and purpose, and this was also the plan she agreed to.
Xiang Kun bowed his head, looked at a "flying worker ant" parked on the back of his hand, and said: "Zhou Rui caught one and brought it back, let's explore Miqiao's dream tonight to see what their attitude is towards this worker ant, whether Zhou Rui will study it himself, or their team will study it, and whether they will report it to the top." ”
