678Contact with ant colony, cloud light and mutation
finally.
Cheng Han thought of a solution that was not a solution.
If the general consciousness of an ant colony is compared to a brain, then each sand ant is equivalent to a neuron that constitutes the brain.
So.
If a signal is sent to every neuron, can it be received by the pan-consciousness of the ant colony?
The possibility is very high.
Honestly.
This is a stupid way.
To others.
This is simply a completely impossible solution.
Do we still have to go to the long yellow sand, search for nest after nest of sand ants, and then send a message to each sand ant?
The number of sand ants is almost endless. This will last for many years and months.
but.
For Cheng Han.
This is a very simple thing, you don't even need to move your fingers.
Aren’t the huge ant colonies on the Starry Sky Map already ready-made?
At this moment.
Cheng Han looked at the Tianyan Diagram and thought again: "Screen out all the ant queens."
The light curtain flashed.
The number of yellow dots has decreased sharply, leaving less than one ten thousandth.
Every yellow dot here is a queen ant.
He has carefully studied sand ants and knows very well how ant colonies communicate.
As long as you send a message to the queen, you can use a method similar to "pheromone" to let every sand ant in the ant colony receive the message.
Next.
You only need to send messages to the queen ants one by one to complete this seemingly impossible task.

Hundreds of kilometers away.
Under a sand dune.
In a rock formation cavity.
I saw many small round holes appearing on the rock surface, each hole was about the size of an adult's index finger, and they were arranged neatly.
Take a ruler and measure the diameter of a circular hole or the distance between two circular holes at will. You can find that the error will not exceed 5%.
This is exactly the nest of a type of sand ant.
One thing to say.
No matter what kind of sand ants they are, they are all good at building neat nests.
Without exception.
These little things are the most outstanding architects in the desert.
A few seconds passed.
In the heart of the ant nest.
A rather large sand ant, close to the forearm of an adult, the "queen" of the ant colony, suddenly trembled.
The two tentacles on its forehead waved rapidly several times, seeming to express something.
It was like the first domino knocking over, and a chain reaction quickly occurred.
The sand ants that were busy at first stopped one after another and began to swing their tentacles in the same pattern.
The scene above.
In every corner of the long desert, it was staged one after another.

Central Tower A1.
A full half day passed.
Less than one-third of the work of sending messages to the ant colony was completed, and Cheng Han stopped.
Not that he wanted to stop.
But the spiritual value is insufficient.
The method of sending a message to the Queen Ant is essentially similar to the Secret Puppet String, and requires a bit of mental energy.
Although the consumption of one transmission is extremely low, there are too many queens to handle.
What's more, the farther the distance, the greater the consumption of mental energy.
To send a message to a distance of 100,000 kilometers, the consumption is twenty times more than that of 10,000 kilometers.
Cheng Han worked hard for a long time and spent more than 800 mental points.
The remaining mental value was less than 200 points, and there was a slight dizziness in my head.
This is a typical phenomenon of excessive mental energy consumption.
Cheng Han stretched out his hand to rub the center of his brow and complained in his heart: "It's just physical work!"
He glanced at the Tianyan map. Each yellow dot that received the message, that is, the queen ant, became slightly brighter.
More yellow dots, still the same as before.
Cheng Han muttered in a low voice: "It will probably take another two days to complete this work."
He sighed again: "I hope the sand ants' pan-consciousness can react a little bit, right?"
Pan-consciousness is far away from the real will of the world, so the reaction speed is more than a little slower.
He personally estimated that it would be difficult to connect with pan-consciousness if the information was not conveyed to all the queen ants.
Cheng Han's heart moved.
The sky map of stars gradually faded away.
Next.
He read the document for a while and chatted with the Xuanshi next to him.
"Many people in this central tower are from the 'Cloud Sea Realm'. What is this small world like?"
Among the many small worlds owned by the Wanhao tribe, the Sea of Clouds World is the world closest to this group of small worlds.
Therefore, most of the people in the Outpost Legion are from the Sea of Clouds Realm.
"Special Envoy, the biggest feature of the Sea of Clouds Realm is that there are so many clouds. At night, the sky will be covered by endless clouds.
"'Cloud light' often appears in the clouds, dyeing the sea of clouds into colorful colors. It looks very beautiful and spectacular."
When Xuan Shi spoke, his tone was full of nostalgia: "I personally feel that it is definitely not inferior to the sandstorms in this world."
I can tell.
This person misses his hometown very much.
The "cloud light" mentioned in this sentence made Cheng Han instantly think of the "aurora" in another time and space.
He suddenly became interested and asked: "This is a very interesting phenomenon. What is the specific cause of the cloud light?"
Xuanshi shook his head: "I'm sorry, special envoy, I don't know."
This person was afraid that the special envoy would be dissatisfied, so he immediately talked about the rumors: "But there are many rumors circulating in Xuan Palace, and one of them is very interesting.
"It is said that when the Cloud Sea Realm was founded, a very powerful creature died, and its soul became the cloud light of the Cloud Sea Realm."
Cheng Han touched his chin and tended to agree with this statement.
After all, with the virtues of the god-level strong men of the Wanhao tribe, once they enter a small world in a big way, they will definitely attack the indigenous strong men.
Isn't it normal to kill a few powerful creatures?
on the other hand.
His recent research on world will has been quite in-depth.
Every time the Wanhao people occupy a small world, they will definitely plant a branch of the Wanhao Divine Banyan tree.
To a certain extent, the split of Shenrong will inevitably become the new will of the world, and the old will of the world will gradually disappear.
The sea of clouds appears at night in the Sea of Clouds Realm. This should be due to the law.
Judging from the characteristics of Yunguang, this is more like the old will of the world. It is not willing to be completely replaced, so it struggles in this way.
Cheng Han thought for a while and decided to verify: "A long time ago, was the cloud light in the sea of clouds greater than it is now?"
Xuan Shi was startled for a moment, then nodded and said: "Special envoy, this is indeed the case! I heard that ten thousand years ago, cloud lights sometimes appeared during the day."
Cheng Han's mouth curved.
Sure enough!
Xuanshi glanced at the special envoy's face, always feeling that the other party knew some great secret, but he didn't dare to ask.
Chatted for a while again.
After fully satisfying your curiosity.
Cheng Han sent Xuanshi to work.
He himself began to study the sand ants in the Lost Sand Realm.
five minutes later.
Cheng Han's heart froze, and he suddenly had a strange feeling - an indescribable existence was watching him.
