Sijun asked Silla to find rescue quickly. The nearest rescuer was the King of Golden Rooster and You who guarded the border of Suzaku Kingdom in the south.
Silla knew that it would take at least 5 days to rush back to Pancheng Town. Although he had Captain Mo Yin's "teleport" ability, he still needed to explain the situation, convene a meeting to select personnel, and simulate tactics. The first batch of combatants also needed 6
It will take 7 days to arrive. By then, Sijun will really feel cold.
The nearest capable reinforcements from here can only be King Youtian, which only takes one day to travel, and a return trip can take up to two days. Sijun can be rescued as long as he can survive 48 hours.
But she didn't want Sijun to go there at all, after all, it was too dangerous. But she also knew that the direction in which these terrifying giant bees were flying was within the territory of the Qinglong Kingdom, so she had to find out about it. This bee,
With such strong strength, if they were a group, human civilization would definitely be destroyed. I stayed here by myself and Sijun went to inform him, but Sijun would definitely not agree.
And what Sijun said is right. What he, a small soldier in the guard army, said to King Youtian, and what Sira said to the army commander, were naturally more convincing. Only in this way could he get the support of King Youtian. Maybe King Youtian would still
There are other arrangements.
So after the two argued fiercely in low voices, Silla set off to the south to seek help from King Youtian. Sijun continued to go deep into the hinterland to explore the secrets of these bees, and made notes along the way. In fact, Sijun wanted to investigate alone.
Think about the questions that came to mind before.
Sijun always felt that the secret behind this was related to his mother Sijun, and the swarm of bees now came from his mother's world. Moreover, the bee that was fighting just now found out that it had the mother's aura on it, so it retreated.
It's really strange. Therefore, if you want to solve the doubts in your heart, you must find out about your mother, and if you want to know about your mother, you may be able to find some answers from this swarm of bees.
So, after Xila walked away, Sijun quietly moved forward in the direction where the swarm of bees flew.
Sijun has lived in the mountains and forests for so many years, and he still has a certain understanding of bees.
Bees belong to the order Hymenoptera, Apidae. Bees are social insects, consisting of queen bees, drone bees, worker bees and other individuals. There are many types of bees, including wild bees and artificial bees. Due to the large dependence on honey in several countries,
It has high medicinal value, so the number of artificial bees in the world is far greater than that of wild bees.
Sijun saw that the appearance of those creatures was similar to the bees of this world. Even if they were not bees of this world, they were bee variants or species similar to bees. So he used bees as a reference to analyze and judge this group of creatures. Only by confirming these creatures clearly
, only then can we attack him and get information about the mother.
There are many types of bees. Generally speaking, they have small bodies with black heads and thorax. The queen bee is about 17.5mm long and black or brownish-red in color. The whole body is covered with black and dark yellow hairs. The worker bee is about 11mm long and has a beak 5mm long.
On the left and right, the dorsal plates of the abdominal segments are black with brownish-yellow rings. They are at high latitudes. The abdomen of the center bee in the high mountainous area is darker in color and at low latitudes. The abdomen of the center bee in the plain area is yellowish.
The whole body is covered with short gray hairs. The drone body is about 12.5mm long, the body color is black or dark brown, and the whole body is covered with gray hairs. The medium bee has strong cold resistance, can fly quickly, and can easily escape when nectar sources are lacking or attacked by diseases and insect pests. It is suitable for mountainous areas.
Raised in the ecological environment of the mid-level mountainous area. It has strong resistance to mites, strong thieves and bees, weak resistance to nest worms, often destroys old nest spleens, weak resistance to cystic larvae, and is susceptible to cystic larvae disease.
If calculated according to this ratio, the big bee that I just fought with is obviously a worker bee responsible for collecting food. The average human bee is 160, and the big bee that I just fought with is one-third the height of a normal person, about 2 meters 2.
.
Generally, worker bees are only about half the size of the queen bee. According to the ratio of normal bees, the queen bee is 17.5mm, the male peak is 12.5mm, and the worker bee is 11mm. The worker bee is 2.2 meters tall, so the male peak is about 2.5 meters high, while the queen bee is about 3.5 meters.
So just how huge are these creatures?
And according to the division of labor among bees, the top of the bee system is the queen bee. The queen bee's social division of labor is to lay eggs full-time and shoulder the social responsibility of reproducing offspring. Her body is very strong, pot-bellied, and her weight is twice that of the worker bees. She has lost
The "female" figure is slim. During the egg-laying period, the queen bee has to feed the worker bees every day.
Feed royal jelly to promote rapid metabolism and maintain strong egg-laying ability. According to expert statistics, the queen bee of some species of bees can lay 700 to 800 eggs a day, but the most is twice as high as this, up to 1,500 to 1,500 eggs.
2000 eggs. Judging from the weight, the average eggs produced every day are almost twice the body weight.
Drones, on the other hand, only mate with the queen bee. Drones are male "citizens" of the bee colony that develop from unfertilized eggs. They live a life of getting something for nothing every day. The only function of their existence is to mate with the queen bee.
.However, when drones play this role, they must sacrifice their precious lives. From this point of view, drones have to fulfill their social division of labor responsibilities at the cost of their lives. This must be said from the entire process of fulfilling their responsibilities.
From now on, every mating season
, sexually mature drones will automatically gather in a certain place and fly in the air, with the purpose of attracting the virgin queen. Once the virgin queen appears, all the drones will chase away, and after some competition, only one will finally get the right to mate.
Whoever is the biggest and strongest will be the final winner and mate with the queen bee. The whole process is in the air. Once the mating is over, the drone will die immediately because all its reproductive organs are pulled down.
Worker bees have the most division of labor and the heaviest tasks in society. It can be said that, except for the respective tasks of the queen bee and drone bee, all other tasks in the bee colony are undertaken by the worker bees. The worker bees have underdeveloped female sex organs, but many of their structures
Specialized to be more adaptable
To meet the needs of work, for example, the sacs in their foregut are specialized into honey sacs to store nectar. To brew 1 kilogram of honey, worker bees need to collect 10 kilograms of nectar. They fly back and forth for a total of 320,000 kilometers, which is approximately the same distance.
Orbit the Earth 8
Circle. Worker bees start working as soon as they are born, and the division of labor changes according to the age. Usually, when the worker bees are 1 to 3 days old, they are responsible for keeping eggs warm and incubating the eggs, and cleaning the egg-laying room; when they are 3 to 6 days old, they switch to raising eggs.
Feed the large larvae and mix pollen and honey;
When 6 to 12 days old, it switches to secreting royal jelly to feed small larvae and the queen; when 12 to 18 days old, it switches to secreting wax to build spleens and clean the hive; after 18 days of age, its task is to collect nectar, water, and pollen
, propolis and nest door defense.
Bees communicate through three types of chemical, behavioral and physical means.
The chemical method is a trace chemical information substance released by the glands of bees, called a pheromone, also called a pheromone. It is spread through the air or through contact between individuals. What is spread between individuals of the same species is a
"Language", the receiving individual can understand the meaning of this "language", which affects behavior or physiological reflection.
The main mode of behavior is dance, the most typical ones are the round dance and the tail wagging dance. The dancer is the scout bee among the forager bees, and the stage is the comb vertical to the ground in the nest. The dance that the scout bee dances depends on the nectar source it has explored.
The direction and distance are different. If the scout bee finds a honey source within 100 meters from the hive, it will perform a round dance. The whole process is like this: when the scout bee takes the honey source there to collect
After the nectar returns to the nest, it first stays quietly on the nest spleen for a while, then slowly spits out the nectar, hangs it on the mouth, and is sucked away by the surrounding companions with their beaks. Then the scout bee jumps in a circle
Dance, sometimes turning left in circles, sometimes turning right, but the trajectory is always round. The quality of the nectar source is expressed by the passion of dancing, that is, the more nectar and sweeter it is, the more energetic it will be.
The physical method uses sound and light to transmit information. The so-called sound is the sound of the bee flapping its wings. For example, the sound produced by the vibrating wings of the queen bee is called "singing", and the "singing sound" is transmitted through the comb. This is because the queen bee vibrates.
The wings are driven by the vibration of the chest muscles. Because the chest muscles are close to the nest, they will
The vibrational sound waves spread, and when the bees feel it, they react by stopping their activities. For another example, the "whirring" sound made by the flying scout bees has the effect of "mobilizing troops". Once a new queen bee is produced,
The bees will inevitably divide, and the sound emitted by the scout bees will guide the bees to fly to the new nest.
But the strange thing is that the bee that was fighting just now can actually speak human language, but it speaks very stiffly, as if it has just started to learn to speak. So Sijun believes that to defeat these creatures, you must find their weaknesses, and these creatures
Since their weaknesses are so similar to those of bees, we can only find the answer from their different habits. If we seek the weaknesses of these creatures through combat, the sacrifice must be huge.
Therefore, all Sijun can do now is to prepare for the subsequent battle and detect these creatures in advance in order to find the most reasonable way to fight.
But not long after following him, Sijun discovered something strange. Isn't there the Jimili Town in front of him? What about the people of Jimili? Could something have happened?
When Sijun approached this town, he found something strange. There was no one in the town anymore and it became an empty city. Could the disaster 20 years ago happen again? 20 years ago, he fought against Master Qinglong who had the soul of the yellow dragon attached to him.
The scene was calmed down afterwards, but due to the decline of Master Huanglong in the Huanglong Secret Land, many unknown creatures emerged from the world of mythical beasts. The world was devastated, and humans were almost extinct.
Unexpectedly, the same mistake would be repeated now, and Jimi Li Town was one of the victim towns. However, the bees overhead did not stop, grabbing the humans and continuing to fly forward. Sijun did not stop, and it seemed that Jimmy Li Town was also affected by this situation.
There was no one alive, so I continued to chase. Looking in the direction, it seemed that there was a mountain not far ahead, an unknown hilltop.
According to the location, and what Chen Tianwang mentioned before in the Huanglong Secret Land, this mountain should be the place where my father and mother met.
But what Sijun was thinking about was another matter. Looking at the strange behavior of these bees and the situation in Jimmy's town, these creatures have been stationed here for some time. And when they were reorganizing the town, why did everyone persuade them to
Come to Jimili Town by yourself?
Why did they know that they were leaving Pancong Town? And why did they all recommend that they should come here as their first stop? Did they know that from the beginning? Did they know that there were unknown creatures here? Did they let themselves come here on purpose?
Among them, King Chentian even came to say hello and asked him to come to Jimmy to establish the town first. What's the problem with this? Why did King Chentian say this? Is Silla... monitoring him by his side? Sijun felt all this
I'm a little confused.
The only thing that is certain now is that we are going to do it with the creatures in this hill. Now that we know it, don’t be in a hurry and withdraw to Jimili Town first, and then discuss it after the support arrives. More importantly, look at this group of
What on earth are people playing at? Is Silla one of theirs?
So, after dodging several rounds of large bees flying in the air, Sijun quietly retreated and carefully returned to Jimmy's Town.
Sure enough, the town was deserted, and it seemed that something big had happened. Jimili Town is the densely populated place closest to the hill. Those bees want to eat people, so this is naturally the first place to suffer. It seems like this
It is true that this matter cannot be handled by oneself.
But there seems to be something wrong with this town.
