Laws of the Insect Hive

Chapter 32: shadow

  Sistem moved quickly and ordered the soldier ant Dasha to command the ordinary worker ants to build his nest for the winter.

   Dasha's command of ordinary worker ants was fairly easy. By spraying a special acid liquid and colliding with tentacles, it didn't take long for it to draw more than a hundred worker ants from the ant nest, and then went to a location a few meters away to dig.

   As the middle-level leader of the ant nest, Dasha has the right to dispatch ordinary workers.

   Normally, ordinary soldier ants can command dozens of worker ants, while the smarter silly can command more soldier ants, which can drive about a hundred worker ants.

   is not to say that Dasha cannot drive more worker ants. In theory, there is no upper limit on the number of worker ants that can be controlled by soldier ants with their formic acid.

   But driving too many soldier ants will undoubtedly make the soldiers with insufficient commanding ability take care of one another and let them control the worker ant forces into chaos, greatly reducing the efficiency.

   There are methods on how to drive worker ants. They seem to be born in the blood of soldier ants. Soldier ants are born to know how they control ordinary worker ants, and they also know the number of soldier ants suitable for their control.

  ……

   However, the idea of ​​digging the wintering nest is good, but after watching the soldier ant Dasha lead the worker ants to dig for a while, Systrom found many unsatisfactory places.

Although he has asked Dasha, the soldier ant, to order these ants to dig the caves wider, he still doesn’t know if Dasha’s message with acid is wrong, or the IQ of ordinary ants is too low, in short, the ants digging holes are too narrow. Up.

   It took nearly an hour of communication. Under the command of the soldier ant Dasha, the worker ants gradually widened the soil near the entrance of the cave.

   But this is just the entrance of the hole, and the width of the hole is not clear to Sisterm.

   When Sisterm wanted to approach the cave for inspection, he would be attacked mercilessly by these ordinary worker ants.

   After all, Sisterm commanded these ants and relied on Dasha as a transfer station.

   As a result, the soldier ant with lower IQ Dasha commanded the worker ants with lower IQ, causing a tragedy that one plus one is greater than two.

   Sisterm ordered Dasha to move all the worker ants away, only to discover that this group of ants, except that the opening of the ants was made wider, the structure of the internal passage was almost the same as that of the ant's nest, it was very narrow, and he couldn't get in at all.

   For a whole afternoon, except for the first two hours, the worker ant construction team led by Sisterm and the soldier ant Dasha basically stayed in place.

   When it comes to progress, there is actually some. As long as he keeps ordering the soldier ant Dasha to follow his method, the group of worker ants will listen to some orders.

   But it is obviously too inefficient to do so, and it does not reach the passing line envisioned by Systrom.

   "Can't there be more ants like Dasha?"

Sisterm looked at Dasha, the soldier ant who was affectionately rubbing his thigh. If he was driven by hundreds of obedient worker ants like Dasha, let alone building a wintering crypt, it would not be a problem to build five. .

   told Dasha to continue digging with these worker ants.

   Sisterm went to the ant's nest again without believing in evil, and tried to use [Teleportation] to find obedient ants like Dasha.

   After using lies to make nearly a hundred ants mad in anger, Systrom finally reluctantly determined that the soldier ant Dasha is only a special case among ants.

   Even if an ordinary ant is deceived by his lies, it will basically find something wrong within tens of seconds, and then attack him without hesitation.

   "Dozens of seconds?"

  Sistem suddenly realized something, but he didn't think of the key point for a while.

Systrom thought for a while, played back the image of the derived ability [information input] in his mind, and then used the light screen menu of [self-information generation] to capture the specific information of more than a hundred ants who had just been deceived by his lies. Enter and perform statistical analysis.

   The time from when these ants were deceived to madness was basically between 30 seconds and 60 seconds. Usually these ants would believe him very much in the first 20 seconds, and they would enter a sluggish state and become confused in about 25 seconds.

   After entering the chaos, according to the individual differences of different ants, the time for these ants to wake up is not the same, and there are big differences, as few as 5 seconds, and more will last for nearly 30 seconds.

   "Is it because the lies I told them are different?"

  Sisterm shook his head. He used [Teleportation] to transmit messages to these ants basically the same, even if the tone was similar.

   Thinking back to the image in [Information Entry] again, Systrom suddenly thought of something.

   Adjusted the image of [Information Entry] forward for a few hours, and Sisterm finally discovered the key point he had thought of before.

   A few hours ago, he asked the soldier ant Dasha to catch an ant larva from the nest.

  Before eating the ant larva, he also lied to the ant larva with [Teleportation].

   Although the ant larvae finally saw through his lie, he was deceived for nearly five minutes, which was much longer than the ant adulthood.

   If the soldier ant Dasha can catch some ant larvae from the ant nest for him to test...

Do not!

   The success rate of ant larvae may still be very low, but what about the eggs before they become larvae?

   Brainwashing ant eggs since childhood, will these ants become as obedient as the soldier ants?

   If this idea can be successful, let the soldier ant Dasha carry some eggs for him to brainwash, as long as the eggs hatch for a period of time, and then wait for the larvae to become adults, he can have many ants that only work for him.

   The only drawback is that he can't determine the time required for this process. Systrom doesn't know how long the growth cycle of this dark brown ant is.

   While the soldier ant is silly and has no concept of time at all, Sisterm asked how long it took it from birth to maturity, but it just showed a very dazed expression and could not answer at all.

   If it takes too long for him to change from an egg to an adult ant, he can only give up and think of another way out...

  ……

  ……

   And while Sisterm is planning to prepare for the winter~www.readwn.com~ a bug has returned from the Lilter Forest to the abyss...

  The Lierte Forest is covered with snow and ice all year round. After the glaciers of the Lierte Mountains disappeared three hundred years ago, the ice and snow here began to melt and become a climate with four distinct seasons.

   Shadow has been traveling between the abyss and the Lilter forest for thirty years.

   Every summer at the end of each year, she will be sent to the main world by her master, an abyss druid with a special secret method, and then search for bugs that transcend racial limits and bring them back to the abyss.

  Ying likes the sunshine in the main world, but she can’t stay in the main world for too long...

   Abyssal Druids, they were formerly known as Swarm Druids, they are good at driving the swarms of nature and belong to a branch of Druids.

   After the swarm druids surrendered to the demon lord Ogan, the druid's betrayer, the swarm druid, was called the abyss druid.

   They used the flesh and blood of insects to transform a magic nest, which significantly improved the hatching efficiency of newborn demons, and thus developed many new types of demons.

  Ying didn't know these things before, and it wasn't until the last ten years that she gradually understood them.

   She regrets it, she regrets that she killed two of her kind who betrayed the owner a long time ago...

   She didn't understand anything at that time.

  Ying knows that she now has the same wisdom as the two rebellious masters.

   After handing a bug that reached the limit of the race to her master, Ying disappeared into the shadow...

   She concealed a special bug in the Lilter Forest-Kun.

  Ying looks forward to meeting her and Kun again next year. Although the other party is much weaker than her, Kun has something she doesn't possess...
