I Am the Swarm

The solution to the problem now is to continue looking for new black ant nests to share the pressure. Or wait for the number of bugs in the worm nest to reach a certain level, completely annihilate the ant nest, turn them all into rations, and then occupy the site.

There is no conflict between the two methods. You can look for new black ant nests while eroding the neighbor's ant nest. Only in this way, Rowan is going to be busy again.

A few spy bugs were deployed to sneak into the ant nest to eat and drink, I believe it is not a big problem. But if you want them to complete Rowan's work at this time, clean their hands and feet while stealing food, I am afraid it is difficult to do it with the IQ of the insects.

In case of missing the clues and being chased by the black ants to the mother's nest, considering the fighting power of the mother's nest, it is difficult to resist. So undercover in the ant nest, the job of carrying food must be done by Rowan himself.

As for the exploration mission, Rowan has already searched dozens of meters around the mother's nest, and if you want to find a new black ant nest, you need to go farther.

The current bugs in the ant nest are basically based on black ants. They are blind, and they mainly rely on close contact with their tentacles to complete the search.

And this method will face many dangers, and with the increase of distance, the probability of encountering danger will increase exponentially.

With the current number of insects in the nest, it is difficult to bear such a large loss.

Now he needs new bugs. They must see things with their eyes, have a certain vision, and can detect many dangers on the road in advance. Then, the various information reports detected will be aggregated.

But things have returned to the original point, and Rowan should be able to deploy the hardware conditions. But the IQ of the bugs can't complete such a complex investigation task, and he can't adjust the IQ.

Now these bugs in the worm's nest, it's not bad to do some mechanical repetitive tasks, but if the tasks are a little more complicated, they will be blinded, and they can't understand Rowan's meaning.

In the future, when I have time and ability, I must get some bugs with brains out. It doesn't need too much, just need someone who can lead the team when something happens.

Complaining is a complaint, and what should be done should not be ambiguous. Every day, Rowan moved the supplies that were almost enough for the transport team to work for a day to the temporary storage room, and then sealed the passage connecting the hatching room, surrounded by pheromones such as "danger, don't approach".

After doing this, he will climb out of the ant nest and start exploring further afield.

The development in the nest is also orderly. The first batch of larvae that have formed pupae have broken out and become a new generation of adult ants. As they grow up, they will gradually participate in all aspects of work.

The brood is now bigger. Although Rowan has grown in size recently, it is estimated that the brood can no longer be pulled.

In line with the thought of living in danger, Luo Wen used the black big as a template to cancel its excavation foot gene, because after observation, it was found that the giant jaw in front of its head and the excavation foot actually conflicted. The pair of giant jaws, which are wider than the body, are not very convenient to move underground.

At the same time, it added pheromone gene segments for communication and identification, and then let the mother nest produce dozens of eggs based on this. If they can hatch successfully, they will fight full-time in the future to protect the mother nest.

This is the first time that Rowan has used his own plan template to hatch bugs in the form of eggs.

This is a brand new attempt. He does not know whether this kind of insect template that is not mature in nature can also be produced from the egg stage.

If this kind of bug with a new gene sequence can have a complete developmental process, it will be born smoothly and grow into a mature body. Then, I believe that when the resources of the insect nest are abundant, a series of non-naturally evolved bugs, but with many advantages and functions, will be born one after another.

At that time, the sphere of influence of the worm nest will expand like a snowball, and it will no longer be necessary to parasitize the ant nest to **** blood and grow like it is now.

Thinking of a bright future, Rowan is very motivated, and things seem to be developing in a good direction.

A few days later, the hard work paid off, and Rowan found another black ant nest in the other direction of the nest.

The scale of this ant nest is even larger. Rowan found at least 50 soldier ants in the ant nest. According to this, the number of members of this ant nest may reach three or four thousand.

In the ant nest, not only is the hatching room larger and spacious, but there are actually two in number, and there are also several food storage rooms. The worker ants will temporarily stop eating and non-perishable food, grind it into a powder with their jaws, and then secrete some mucus to coat it to prevent them from spoiling.

Of course, there are more yellow worms in the hatching room. It is unforgivable that these parasites dare to steal Rowan's granary. As a result, each of them was given a mouthful of thick phlegm by Rowan.

This newly discovered ant nest is about 100 meters away from Rowan's worm nest, and there are a large number of black ants in the ant nest. The daily patrol range is also very large, and there is no blind spot for patrolling. This channel for smuggling food must be at least Dig more than 50 meters. For Rowan, this is a real big project.

Fortunately, the number of younger brothers under Rowan has also increased a lot, leaving more than 20 ants for the transport team to carry food, and more than 20 little ants that have just broken chrysalis at home to take care of the larvae. He took the remaining dozens of ants and started digging vigorously.

Now, Rowan's daily work is quite fulfilling. In the early morning, he ran to Ant Nest No. 1 to carry food to the storage room, sealed the passage, and the transport team worked independently. Then, he returned home without stopping, and took the excavation team to dig tunnels at Ant Nest No. 2. On the way, he would find some members of the new neighbor's house and give them a practice of Roche's martial arts, so as not to neglect the practice of this skill.

And the black ants who watched the performance generally couldn't pay Rowan's appearance fee, so they could only pay off their debts and be eaten by the excavation team.

Time flies, and seeing that this super-long smuggling channel is about to be completed, something happened on the side of the transport team.

Due to the smuggling channel on the side of the old neighbor Ant Nest No. 1, it was dug out by patrolling the blind spot, and it was only more than 10 meters away from the ant nest.

And as Rowan's work focus shifted, he didn't go there to perform Roche's martial arts, which led to the number of reconnaissance worker ants in that area slowly increasing.

Just today, by coincidence, the transport team just came out of the passage with food, and encountered a scout worker ant.

The worker ant looked at so many ants that looked similar to himself, but had no identity proof of his own, so he immediately came forward to make a theory.

The transport team was not good-natured either. After the tentacles of the two sides touched violently, they finally fought.

Of course, the scout worker ant couldn't beat the crowded convoy, but this was the first time the convoy had fought, and so many insects finally let the worker ant run away...

The transport team didn't care, but after returning the food to the worm's nest, when they returned again, they were blocked by the scouts who came home and found all helpers.
