The elytra are generally made of opaque horn, with hidden wing veins and cannot be used for flight. They cover the membranous hind wing abdomen for protection.
However, the elytra made by Xi Tong are not of this type, but hind wings used for flight.
The hind wings are colorless, transparent, and crystal clear, but there are still thin veins in the wings, which are like the veins of leaves, called wing veins.
The wing veins are hollow, with trachea and nerves distributed within them.
To insects, these wing veins are just remnants of embryonic development, but in Xi Tong's hands, they become natural formation patterns and seal strokes.
The wing veins form complex and mysterious patterns and lines, which are activated after energy infusion. Each time the wings are flapped, formations and talismans will be generated, thereby forming specific skills.
But in the eyes of ants, these wing veins become different.
The wings are made of two layers of membrane closely joined together to form a flat surface, and the wing veins are just the gaps between the two layers of membrane.
Energy is poured into the middle of the two membranes and is restricted and guided by the wing veins, so it can form special skills.
The host of the ant system does not understand formations or talismans. Even if they do, their world's spiritual energy is exhausted and there is no room for them to be used.
But he understands physics and chemistry.
The special structure of the elytra reminds the host of a special material - graphene.
The host understands electrical energy very well and has applied it very early.
Not to mention hydroelectric power stations, the ants have already established their own energy system and use electric energy to catalyze fermentation and produce energy crystals.
The accumulation of chemical experience comes from the fermentation tower.
When microorganisms ferment, electric current will always appear in the solution, or electric current needs to be input into it to promote the activity of microorganisms.
The host of the ant system is no stranger to electric current, it can even be said to be very familiar with it.
In order to improve the host's ability in this area, Zhang Quan, a user of the Ant System, also specially searched for relevant knowledge about electricity.
After Xi Tong launched the subsystem mall and listed works on the electrical civilization system, the Ant System host also obtained the qualification for promotion and support.
A lot of knowledge about the electrical civilization system was opened to him.
The host has been studying electricity and trying to connect the electrical civilization system with its own ant kingdom.
He saw people practicing Qigong with electricity.
This is a technique that is very suitable for human beings, or in other words, it is specially designed for human beings.
There are no restrictions on qualifications, no threshold requirements, and no burdens of talent and perseverance.
You can master it by just learning, and you can improve without practicing.
This is not only the best choice for lazy people, but also the best choice for useless people.
After humans practice this kind of power, their strength will improve by leaps and bounds, but what about ants?
Can ants use this practice system to transform?
The host has studied ants for a long time and finally concluded that ants have no intelligence, only simple instincts. Their only intelligence is to trigger simple instincts under specific circumstances.
This is no longer stupid and stubborn.
This kind of creature with no intelligence at all, is obsessed with it no matter what technique it practices.
But practicing with electricity is different.
There is no need to practice at all, just a burst of electricity is enough. There is no need to meditate and practice to restore the power, just charge it on time.
The biggest problem now is how to convert human skills into ants.
After the ants took over the world, they built water conservancy projects, dams, hydropower stations, wind power stations, solar power stations, etc. all over the world.
It's just that the ants consume too little energy. Even though fermentation towers are springing up like bamboo shoots after the rain, more than 90% of the electricity is still wasted.
In this regard, the host can only keep trying to increase the energy consumption of the fermentation tower and produce more energy crystals.
However, the purity of energy crystals has been increased to 99%, and it is difficult to make further progress. Even so, the energy crystals produced are excessive.
How to increase energy consumption has become the most scratching thing for the host.
It's a pity that ants don't watch TV, play with mobile phones, or use computers. They only work every day, and they don't even make circles and crosses. It's impossible to make them consume electricity.
Therefore, the host shifted his goal to practicing exercises with electricity.
One is that this exercise will greatly increase the consumption of electrical energy, and the other is that this exercise is really suitable for ants, and there is no other way to do it.
The host has been trying before.
It's a pity that ants have limited body capacity and cannot withstand the baptism of electric current.
Even if a few are lucky enough to succeed, they won't be able to hold much power.
The host tried many methods, but ended in failure every time.
The body structure of ants is specific and perfect. It is this special shape and constitution that allows them to lift hundreds of times their own weight.
If it is replaced with the muscle tissue of other organisms in order to store electrical energy, it will inevitably lose this strength attribute, and the gain outweighs the gain.
But the wings are different.
The host had not thought of this before, but now he was observing the elytra from the perspective of an ant, and he immediately thought of the material graphene.
Isn't it the structure of graphene that is two layers of films that are as thin as atomically thin?
Although it is thin and light, this material is one of the strongest materials, has good toughness, and has super conductivity.
Many excellent properties such as optics, electricity, mechanics, etc. are all concentrated in this material.
The most important thing is that this material is not only not rare, but also available almost everywhere.
As for the wing veins in the elytra, they can give the wings different attributes and functions.
For example, in the Thor Chapter of the Electric Civilization System, electric energy is used to condense into a membrane, and this membrane is stacked infinitely to produce substantial substances and equipment.
Each layer of film has different patterns and textures. Through the stacking of countless layers of textures, the equipment has powerful properties.
The host of the ant system does not expect to have tens of millions of energy membranes, he only needs two layers.
Likewise, he doesn't expect many formations or runes, he only needs one.
That is the energy ring.
The energy ring is an original ability created by the system master. This ability has a weakened version, and even a rookie can practice it.
It's just that the energy ring requires extremely high mental strength and control, and its difficulty is like drawing a picture of Riverside During the Qingming Festival on the tip of a needle.
However, this does not trouble the host of the ant system.
After all, ants have an innate advantage in size, and for humans, the tip of a needle is the smallest.
But for ants, they can also dance on the tips of needles.
The host is dormant and silent.
Inspiration bursts out, and spiritual power leaks out unconsciously, rubbing and blooming around you, emitting colorful light.
It was this light that attracted Xi Tong's attention, and even gave Xi Tong a whim.
Xi Tong took a look at the host of the ant system, especially the light of wisdom and inspiration blooming on him.
Among them, Xi Tong saw ants, electric exercises, and two-dimensional carbon materials...
I even saw these many elements organically integrated into one, forming a bright crystal.
