Chapter 870: Ant Country Fully Upgraded
Longbai didn’t expect that the three ‘Rain Master’ ant eggs would go through nine stages of development and take 27 days to cultivate.
The diameter of the ant eggs was nearly 5 mm, and they had the breath of the Force at birth, which was consistent with expectations. They inherited the nine-system talents and lacked the most expensive soul system.
Longbai attached great importance to it, placed the ant eggs in the king’s nest, guarded them personally, and directed the worker ants to take care of them.
At the same time, the second and third batches of ‘Rain Master’ ant eggs were cultivated.
A set of comparative experiments was designed:
The three ant eggs in the first batch did not release pheromones, were not interfered with, and were allowed to develop independently.
The three ant eggs in the second batch were stimulated by pheromones to develop in the direction of specialized ants.
The three ant eggs in the third batch were stimulated by pheromones to develop in the direction of intelligent ants.
The fourth, fifth, and sixth batches of ‘Leader’ ant eggs were cultivated, and the comparative experimental method was consistent with that of ‘Rain Master’.
…
It took forty days for the first batch of three ant eggs to hatch into larvae. During their growth, they absorbed ten times the Force of ordinary larvae and grew slowly.
Longbai arranged to use the system's divine power food for feeding.
The growth rate is still slow. After a month of development, it only reaches a length of seven or eight centimeters.
Unlike ordinary larvae,
these three larvae are slender, snow-white, can crawl and move by themselves, and have a keen sense of smell and hearing. They also have the ability to chew and eat, and a strong digestive system.
These larvae do not need to be fed by worker ants. The food is placed in the nest, and they will crawl over to eat by themselves.
They are very restless. After eating, they crawl around in the nest, up and down, and are full of energy.
…
The second batch of three ant eggs hatched,
Longbai continued to stimulate with pheromones, and developed into large-sized specialized ants.
These larvae are more edible,
they can grow as long as they can eat,
their bodies are slightly bloated and round, and after a month of development, they have reached a little over 10 centimeters.
They are extremely smart, quickly learned a full set of pheromone communication, and seem to have consciousness and recognize some of the conditions of the ant nest.
At first, they would crawl to the side of the cypress and ask for food.
The cypress ignored them,
and then they would take the initiative to run to the entrance of the ant nest to ask for food from the worker ants. Soon they found that the food of the worker ants came from the blue ants, so they simply skipped the worker ants and crawled to the nest where the blue ants lived, asking for food directly from the blue ants.
The most amazing thing is that they knew the three larvae cultivated in the first batch, and naturally became the "commander worms", leading them to crawl and play in groups and forage for food.
…
The third batch of three ant eggs hatched,
and the cypress continued to stimulate with pheromones according to the design, and developed in the direction of intelligent ants.
These three larvae are even more amazing. They have a greater demand for the Force and only eat Force food. After a month of growth, their body length is only a little over 3 cm, but the Force veins of the power system and the life system have begun to emerge on their body surface, and they can actually release some basic system capabilities.
These three seemingly petite intelligent "Rain Master" larvae naturally became the "commander insects" of the larvae team.
…
The fourth, fifth, and sixth batches of ant eggs hatched in turn.
Very strange,
Rain Master larvae only gather with Rain Master larvae.
Commander larvae only play with Commander larvae.
The two groups of insects do not interfere with each other, and they cannot be combined.
Longbai specially opened six breeding nests on the left and right sides of the king's nest.
Rain Master larvae are arranged on the left, and Commander larvae are arranged on the right.
Add the seventh and eighth batches of "Rain Master" and "Commander" ant eggs, stimulated by pheromones, and developed in the direction of "intelligent ants" and "giant ants".
The larvae develop slowly,
Longbai has nothing else to do, so he simply cultivates more.
Ant eggs outside the experimental group are stimulated by pheromones to develop in the direction of "specialized ants".
As time went by, larvae of all sizes crawled around in groups every day, becoming a scourge in the ant nest. Wherever they passed, the ants retreated.
After four years of development,
the first three intelligent rain master larvae reached a body length of about 1.2 meters and stopped growing. But they were still consuming energy, and the energy veins on their bodies continued to increase, almost one every three days, and the basic ability they mastered gradually exceeded 300.
Having awakened the command ability of the assistant king, they began to command other worker ants, blue ants, and mountain ants to do things.
Following closely, the three giant commander larvae also awakened their command ability. They could command soldier ants, blue soldiers, thunder soldiers, air soldiers...
In a few days, the giant commander larvae, surrounded by the fighting ants, crawled out of the ant nest and explored the world outside the ant nest.
Strangely, groups of snow-white larvae wandered in the mountains and forests...
Soon, they found the short-handled horn god-given seeds rooted halfway up the mountain and found the ant nest in the tree trunk.
After exploration, it was confirmed that the ant king's nest was located on the eleventh floor of the tree nest.
The giant leader larvae led other larvae without hesitation and occupied the tenth floor nest.
The mantis was driven out.
The giant rain master larvae received the notice and led the worker ants, green ants, and mountain ants to come and renovate and rebuild the nest.
Then they were shocked to find that the king on the eleventh floor was driven out by the mantis...
...
...
It took eight years,
The size of the first and fourth batches of rain master larvae and leader larvae that were cultivated without pheromone stimulation was fixed at about 3 meters.
The rain master larvae and leader larvae cultivated in the second and fifth batches, guided by pheromones to differentiate and develop in the direction of specialized ants, have reached 4.5 meters in length and are still growing. It can be predicted that they will develop into giant ants of extraordinary size.
On the contrary, there are 6 intelligent rain master ant larvae and 6 giant leader ant larvae carefully cultivated by Long Bai. Their size is fixed at 1.2 to 1.3 meters, and they have not grown in four years. After consuming a large amount of nine series of God-given Force foods, his seemingly tender skin was covered with Force veins, and the number of basic abilities he mastered exceeded 600.
Their Force talent broke the bloodline barrier of Long Bai's talent, reaching a level above the average.
The soul is strong and initially derives spiritual power.
It can also be predicted that the innate potential of these 12 Zo-Kings far exceeds any previous Zo-Kings, and even surpasses most Zerg warriors.
Moreover, his intelligence develops very quickly and his thirst for knowledge is extremely strong.
These 12 Zowangs first took the initiative to learn from other specialized ants, learn about the world, learn characters, knowledge about animals and plants, and basic mathematics and natural science knowledge.
Specialized ants have limited knowledge;
They began to take the initiative to follow the kings of juniper, cedar, giant cypress, juniper, etc. and learn from them.
As knowledge increases and cognition improves, the mind matures rapidly.
The intelligent rain master ant larvae learned to release their abilities to assist plant growth, help refine food, and began to follow the work and direct the work of the ant colony.
The giant leader ant larvae leave the nest together at regular intervals every day, climb to the school grounds behind the mountain, practice their combat abilities, and even mobilize combat ants to practice combat arrays...
All the insects in Xianglan Mountain headed by Long Bai were stunned for a moment.
"Your Majesty, can we give these 12 kings a name? It's easier to greet them."
Under the blue trees by the lake, Spades suddenly suggested.
These intelligent rainmaster ant larvae already have their own personalities and preferences. Two of them are particularly interested in plants and have become regular followers of Spades and Bicolor Chamomile, crawling and following behind them every day.
"It's time to have a name..."
Long Bai clicked his tentacles in agreement, activated his soul-fixing ability, and sent a group message to notify: [Everyone, come here, let's name the new king]
On the eleventh floor of the short-handled horn tree, Molan Lightning, who had just come back to life and was recovering from hibernation, arrived.
After receiving the news, the other kings activated their abilities and rushed over.
Juniper and Xiangbai each received an Intelligent Rainmaker larvae.
Nebula Laimeng is responsible for refining the Force food here in Xianglan Mountain. He has food to eat, and two particularly greedy Zhihua Rain Master larvae follow him to learn the refining ability.
Giant Cypress and Cui Cypress each led a giant leader larvae.
Juniper finally arrived, carrying four gigantic leader larvae on its back...
When the creator civilization designed and manufactured the throne of dominance, it positioned the ‘commander’ as a commander in the field of war.
The giant-headed ant tribe’s position as ‘giant soldier ants’ is also dedicated to warfare.
The two are superimposed, and these giant leader larvae have a very obvious warlike nature. They prefer to follow the reckless and impulsive juniper.
At first, all six larvae followed the juniper, but the dragon cypress strongly intervened and gave two to the giant cypress and the green cypress. As soon as they met, the two little guys happily approached the juniper and greeted them warmly.
"..."
Long Bai had a headache just looking at it.
Mo Lan was the first to speak, muttering: "A month ago, I was wondering if it was time to name these little guys..."
All eyes were focused on Mo Lan.
Mo Lan asked: "According to the rules, they belong to the seventh-generation Prince Zuo, right?"
The ants moved their tentacles.
Mo Lan: "Then it starts with seven? Horse chestnut? Seven leaves and a flower?"
"..."
The ants shook their tentacles.
Spades reminded: "Tell the Second King, we have a spider friend named 'Qi Ye', and the contact is not broken yet."
"Yeah. Yes."
Mo Lan looked around, pointed to a clump of weeds with golden flowers in full bloom not far away, and asked, "Senecio?"
"..."
All eyes turned to Long Bai.
Long Bai: "Very good. This is a good name. Which one of you will take it?"
Seeing no response,
Long Bai raised his paw and pointed at the larva behind the giant cypress, and said: "This is the one, Senecio."
"That's a good name. Train him well. In the future, he will be sent to the battlefield of the Sea of Light. He will rank in the top 300, get a Dusk Fruit, and awaken his light talent."
Mo Lan boasted, turned her paw, pointed at the larva behind the emerald cypress next to her, and said, "Thousand-mile Thunder Bamboo."
Then he pointed at the four gigantic leader larvae on the back of the juniper and said in turn: "Thousands of miles of wind kite, thousands of miles of firethorn, thousands of miles of earth tea, thousands of miles of golden thorns."
The six combat-type kings have been named.
Mo Lan paused, pointed at the intelligent rain master larva next to Spade, and said: "Qianli Mu."
Pointing to the larvae on the carapace of bicolor chamomile, he said: "Thousand-mile Water Yun."
"Okay, we've run out of names for the seven elements."
Mo Lan thought for a moment and said, "Then use the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter."
After finishing speaking, he pointed at the larva behind the cedar and said: "Thousands of miles of spring feathers."
Pointing to the larva behind the juniper tree, he said, "Thousands of miles of summer are drifting away."
Pointing at the two larvae on the left and right sides of Nebula Laimeng, he pointed and said: "Qianli Autumn Maple, Qianli Winter Sunflower? Winter melon will do too."
Xing Yun Laimeng hurriedly said: "The two kings are mighty! Winter squash is good! Forget about winter melon~"
"Okay! Naming completed."
Mo Lan raised his antennae and asked:
"Do you have anything else to do? I'll be busy without you."
"there is none left."
"Second King, please~"
"..."
Mo Lan leaves.
There was silence for two seconds,
Nebula Laimeng asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to cultivate 12 more seventh-generation kings? According to the plan, when President Bai Wei returns from the Li Zhu Galaxy, we will open the fourth and fifth stars around the secondary source point. It’s a trade zone, and a large number of professional ants will be needed to set up nests in various places.”
Juniper immediately echoed: "Your Majesty, we still need more Zuowang to be on duty. The Zuowangs who serve in various planets will return to Fanglan Mountain regularly for vacation."
Long Bai had already had an idea. From observation, the intelligent rain master larvae were pretty good, but the gigantic leader larvae...
One juniper is enough to cause a headache for insects, but if you cultivate a large number...
Can't imagine!
Long Bai asked: "Ju Bai, what do you think of Senecio?"
Jubai said without hesitation: "Being aggressive by nature is not a problem. He is very smart and can be trained through acquired education to become a legion commander who is good at fighting and proficient in war command."
"Yes! Yes!"
Juniper vigorously moved its tentacles and suggested: "Your Majesty, the larval stage is a critical period of development. Feed them more god-given black lotus seeds, and they will be smarter. Smart insects will not do stupid things."
"good--"
"Then we will train 12 more seventh-generation kings."
Long Bai made up his mind and followed up with the lesson: "Junior, Spades, you two should stop wandering around all day long and concentrate on understanding your abilities. Go back and get the giant dragon bamboo fruit and white crystal fruit, and perfect the star as quickly as possible. Nuclear power, catastrophic breakthrough. After relocating the third-level source star system, the second king and I can't keep guard. You two have to follow. "
"clear!"
"I understand, Your Majesty!"
Juniper and Spade agreed.
…
It lasted 14 years,
The three rainmaster larvae that were cultured in the first batch and were not guided by pheromones took the lead in spinning silk and forming cocoons.
The three leader larvae cultured in the fourth batch then formed cocoons.
Another year passed,
Three rain master ants were the first to emerge.
The level of brilliance,
The body is over three meters long and is stronger than an ant. It is extremely strong and dark in color. There are star spots on the carapace corresponding to the ability, probably because it controls the throne. There are still blue rings on the abdomen.
Long Bai immediately led him to the school grounds behind the mountain to pass an ability test.
These rain master ants have inherited most of the abilities of Long Bai's elemental system, including various multi-system combination abilities, and even inherited some of the characteristics of law abilities.
It tends to be auxiliary. The key refining, prosperity mark, tranquility, life spring and other abilities can exert 40-50% of the power of Dragon Cypress. It is especially good at water-based abilities and can exert 60-70% of the power of Dragon Cypress.
A month later, three leader ants emerged.
Similarly, he has inherited Long Bai's various abilities relatively completely, is more inclined to fight, and can exert 50% of the power of Long Bai. Similarly, he is especially good at water-based abilities.
From a biological point of view, the brains of these rain master ants and leader ants are more developed than the ants. From a soul level, the brains of the ants are more solid than the ants.
The soul has no derived spiritual power, and is only half-Force life after all.
Stronger self-awareness, independence, learning ability, and logical thinking ability.
Having a certain ability to command other ants, including specialized ants, they can replace King Zuo or assist King Zuo in doing some commanding work.
The ant kingdom has a new commanding ant species between the Zuowang and the specialized ants.
…
Two more years later,
The 12 Zuowangs formed cocoons one after another and emerged into the world.
He was born as a 1st-year-old senior warrior. He was born with seven elements of awakened elements and system talents. He inherited almost all of Long Bai's abilities except for 'Infinite Mountains and Seas, Infinite Real World' and 'Star God's Blessing'.
Long Bai personally led and gave guidance and learning.
…
It lasted 21 years,
In the second and fifth batches of culture, pheromones stimulated the specialized rainmaster ant larvae and specialized leader ant larvae that developed in the direction of specialized ants to form cocoons one after another.
A very large ant cocoon that is more than nine meters long and more than five meters in diameter.
It took another two years before he was born.
The adult body length ranges from 11 to 13 meters, which is extremely large.
He has a big head and looks silly, but in fact his IQ is no lower than that of the normal Prince Zu.
He also inherited most of his abilities from Long Bai, except for the 'Infinite Mountains and Seas, Infinite True Realm' and 'Star God's Blessing', and he can exert 80% to 90% of his power.
He is particularly good at water-based abilities and can exert almost the same power as Long Bai.
The lifespan is not much worse than Long Cypress, more than a million years.
Similarly, it can command other ants, and after training, it can be competent in various command tasks.
But their size is too large,
There are various inconveniences in daily business work, and the specialized Rain Master Ant is not very easy to use.
Specialized Rainmaker Ants cannot be cultivated, but ordinary Rainmaker Ants are just fine.
If there is a war, the specialized leader ant will definitely be useful.
The organization of the fighting ants can be slightly adjusted, with the zuo king commanding the large army, and further down, it can be divided into corps and small corps, commanded by specialized commander ants and commander ants.
…
Long Bai's ant kingdom has added four new ant species: leader ants, rain master ants, specialized leader ants, and specialized rain master ants.
Among them, the most useful ones are the rain master ants.
Long Bai went to the Aquamarine star system to live permanently and began to cultivate rain master ants in large quantities. After special teaching and training, they were assigned to various districts.
The management mode of operating a life planet has undergone a subversive change.
The Zuo King only needs to manage the Rain Master Ants, assign them tasks, and inspect their work regularly.
The Rain Master Ants lead the team to command the Green Ants, Worker Ants, and Mountain Ants to cultivate and manage the forest.
In this way, the command ability of a single Zuo King is increased by a thousand times, and a single Zuo King can command the ant colony to cultivate thousands of districts.
Correspondingly, operating a life planet only requires a small investment of resources to obtain huge returns. (End of this chapter)
