The space in the tomb is huge, at least wider than the houses in the villages on the ground. It is a fact that the living people do not live as well as the dead.
Therefore, after the host transforms and crawls underground, it can return to its human form. With the enhanced version of Turtle Breathing Technique and advanced visual enhancement, there will be no inconvenience in activities underground.
Even more relaxed than on the ground - both physically and mentally.
There are many people on the ground, so you have to be cautious in everything you do. You have to know how to walk, sit, lie down, talk, and behave. You have to chew on anything you say casually to avoid any ambiguity.
However, underground is his own kingdom, and everything is controlled by him alone.
Here, he is the supreme god and has the ability to control everything.
Looking around, they are all his loyal subordinates, guards, soldiers, believers...
He scoured all the ant nests with a radius of hundreds of miles. He gathered all the queen ants and stored them in a chamber in the ancient tomb.
If it were in the past, let alone two queen ants living in the same room, even if they were too close, they would decisively start a fight and fight to the death.
Now, countless queen ants are sitting in rows, lying obediently on their beds, laying eggs day and night.
Ants are a special kind of life. After a male ant and a female ant have sex, the male ant immediately exhausts his energy and dies, while the female ant builds a nest, lays eggs, and develops her own kingdom.
But the local ants are too low-level, nothing can compare to the ants transformed by the host, so naturally they cannot be looked down upon.
Therefore, the host can only go into battle in person and change the bloodlines of hundreds of queen ants so that they will give birth to their own offspring.
In addition to these old queen ants, the host also selected a group of genetically superior female ants, soaked them in potions to enhance their physique, and then reproduced their own offspring.
Therefore, there are more than 3,000 ant queens lying in this small tomb, and their only duty is to give birth.
They give birth day and night and continue to grow the race.
Fortunately, the ants' utilization rate of Mi Qingzi is close to 100%, unlike humans, who can only use one or two out of 200 million.
Female ants can store rice seeds in their bodies and selectively absorb rice seeds. These rice seeds can be stored in the queen's body for several to decades without deterioration, so the queen only needs to have sex once in her life.
If you work hard every day like humans do, even if the host's body is able to bear the burden, the host's mind will become depressed.
As the saying goes, there is no spoiled land, only exhausted cows.
The new generation of ants has been qualitatively improved compared to the previous generation in terms of strength, physical strength, and physical strength.
And because of their blood connection, they are naturally close to and obedient to their hosts. They do not have to control the queen through darkness and then "hold the emperor to command the princes" as before.
At the same time, the new generation of ants only has female ants, soldier ants, and worker ants, and no male ants have appeared for the time being.
Queen ants can actively control the types of eggs they lay, so it can be understood that they do not give birth to male ants, but it is not impossible.
The number of female ants is very small, but the quality of each one is very high, and it should be the condensed essence.
After the female ant matures, she is immediately commandeered by the host and begins her mission of reproduction. The chamber for laying eggs also expands and expands, and increases again and again.
Compared with the past emphasis on quantity, today's ants pay more attention to quality, fewer but more refined. With thousands of queens working at the same time, the speed of population expansion has not slowed down, but is still steadily increasing.
The worker ants are stronger and come in three sizes: large, medium and small. The degree of chitinization and shape of the head shell are also different.
Large worker ants have wide and flat mouthparts, shaped like shovels and scissors, and are experts at digging. They are the main force in the cleaning and reconstruction of tombs.
The mouthparts of small worker ants are thick and blunt, and have sharp particles arranged in an array. They look like files or sandpaper. Their main responsibility is to smooth out caves, pipe walls, etc.
Medium-sized worker ants have larger heads, thicker mouthparts and first pair of legs, and stronger weight-bearing capabilities.
According to the determination of mechanics, an ant can lift objects 400 times more than its own weight, and depending on the smoothness of the ground, can drag objects more than 1,700 times its own weight.
Genetically enhanced ants are only stronger in this regard.
Moreover, these are still the basic types of worker ants, and more worker ants can be unlocked in the future.
The most eye-catching thing is the soldier ants.
Their body size is larger than that of worker ants, especially the mouthparts on their heads, which are huge and sharper at the same time, full of the sharpness of knives.
At the same time, these soldier ants secrete toxins from their mouthparts, and the toxins are injected into the enemy's body the moment they pierce them.
The synthetic formulas and synthetic substances of these toxins can be changed. In other words, the host can make the soldier ants synthesize poisons that are fatal to humans, and then a single bite can kill the person.
This is also the meaning of the advanced chemistry module in the system.
Due to material limitations, the toxins that can be synthesized are very limited, and almost none can cause fatal damage to humans.
Unless the dose is increased, ten or twenty ants will be given together.
In the future, I will master more materials, let alone humans, even elephants will be revealed to you.
More importantly, these soldier ants have grown wings.
It's not a fancy thing, it has excellent flying ability, not too slow flying speed, and good wind and fog resistance, making it a perfect aerial combat unit.
Now is the period of large-scale construction, and the number of soldier ants is very small. The food in the ant nest is fed by the host, so we don't even have to look at the site. We are mainly responsible for the safety of a few vents.
However, 70% of the equipment in this anthill is related to them.
For example, the 9-meter-high, conical fermentation tower in the middle of the ant nest.
The space in the tomb chamber is limited, so this is the result of continued digging downwards, otherwise the fermentation tower would have been made taller and larger.
To the ants, this 9-meter-tall thing is nothing less than a miraculous building, just like humans looking up at a pyramid.
And this was built by the joint efforts of the host and the ants in just one month.
This is the first building built by the host himself. The foundation is made of stone strips, and the rest are the results of the work of the ants.
There are floors every 30 centimeters, a total of 30 floors, and there are countless small units on each floor...
There are no beams, columns or frames visible on the outside, just countless hexagonal stone flakes.
These hexagonal stone flakes are made from ants' saliva mixed with soil and special body fluids. They are hollow inside and very light. After drying in the shade, they are not only hard, but also waterproof, anti-corrosive and heat-insulating, making them ideal building materials.
The most important thing is that the edges of these hexagonal stone pieces are very similar to the mortise and tenon structure. After being fastened together, they are very strong and strong. The whole building is blended into one, making it more stable.
Countless hexagonal stone pieces are built into a 9-meter-long fermentation tower. Not to mention its incredible functions and ingenious design, the powerful visual impact alone is amazing.
The fermentation tower has similar openings for entry and exit, and there are complex passages inside leading to each fermentation chamber. The fermentation chambers in each area also have different uses.
For example, high-calorie food crystals, drug crystals containing healing power, strengthening crystals that promote the physical improvement of ants, toxin crystals containing deadly toxins...
factory.
assembly line.
This is basically a war machine with full power. Once various crystals are stably produced, the Ant Kingdom will surely unleash its terrifying war potential.
Moreover, similar fermentation towers are still under construction.
