Chapter 27: Collect resources
The night passed and the sky was white.
After all, the plastic rabbit did not give Shen Cong much hope of activity, and the meat quality was not better than the mutant ant. Originally, this was taken lightly, but the result had no influence on Shen Cong.
Uh ...
Do morning exercises, repair King Kong, collect ant legs, and start studying queens.
The body of the queen queen's corpse is well preserved, and both the chest and abdomen have been smashed into rotten meat by King Kong's bulldozer, which can be seen vaguely, as it was.
In terms of structure, it is not much different from ordinary ants, but the queen's chest is not a whole composed of three back plates, but a stack of bone plate armors. One of the bone plate armors has a washbasin. The size, emitting strong active radiation, is obviously the active core of the queen.
After a few clicks, Shen Cong snapped this plate armor, which was more active than the tumor pig's full moon scimitar.
板 The simple modification of this plate armor is a shield. If it is too small, it can be embedded in the Optimus 1.0 active armor and used as a goggles. Presumably the defense will be greatly improved.
In addition to the active plate armor, Shen Cong cut off both the queen's tentacles and several legs as food reserves, but only three and a half of the six legs were left, and the rest were eaten by mutant ants.
检查 After the head and chest examinations, Shen Cong's gaze was directed at the already thin abdomen.
He saw a mutant ant before and pulled out a few ant eggs from the queen's abdomen. That thing doesn't know what it is used for, but it must be valuable, otherwise the mutant ants won't carry one in a small group before leaving.
"Is it for hatching new queens?"
Open the outer shell of the abdomen, and pry away the thick, condensed white liquid-this white liquid Shen Cong looked at the data last night, it is the blood of ants, the white pigment content is relatively high, so it is white-you can see that the queen's belly There are many intestines. Inside these intestines, there is a broken ant egg.
The power of the bulldozer to smash was too great, almost all the ant eggs were smashed, and a few intact ones were also taken away by the mutant ants.
However, under the opened shell, Shen Cong found three intact ant eggs, wiped away the mucus on the outside, and was crystal-clear and egg-shaped, not much smaller than the short-strength worker ants, and the surface was potty. Start with a little sinking, there is a black spot on one end of the egg, that is probably the fertilized egg.
I walked around, leaving only these three intact ant eggs.
I didn't find my sac and pin.
After a while, the information about the anatomical research of the queen queen and the information on the illustrated books were entered into the computer by Shen Cong.
"The short queen queen, a mutated ant insect, is temporarily classified as a species of short ants. It is presumed to be a queen mutator of the yellow-footed short ant. It is huge, slow to move, and has almost no attack power. The IQ is unknown , Can see through the camouflage of the active frequency, have commanding ability to the ant colony. "
Shen Cong continued to type a line of words behind him: "The short fierce ant colony should retain the habit of the ant colony, the queen queen as a fertility tool, and command the entire ant colony ..."
However, after thinking about it, Shen Cong marked this text red again, and then remarked three words-ambiguous.
He only saw the information about ants last night. The characteristics given by the data are obviously different from the mutated ant colony.
According to the data records, the ant colony is a group with a high degree of interest bonding. There is no distinction between individuals and only the division of labor. Rather than saying that the queen is the ruler of the community, it is better to say that it is a relationship of mutual use. The queen is only the founder of the community and the spawning machine, and occasionally needs to hunt by itself.
Pupae do not dominate the behavior of the community as a whole, and sometimes the community selects, kills, and even becomes larvae's food.
The mutant ant community encountered by Shen Cong has traces of the concept of hierarchy, and the queen can rule other mutant ants.
It's not like ants, it's like termites.
Of course, it will never be a termite. The termite queen is purely a spawning tool and cannot be moved at all, just like a tapeworm.
"Perhaps because mutant ants are produced by mutant queens, so they will listen to queens' instructions?"
Shook his head.
No conclusive speculation, Shen Cong does not intend to delve into it for the time being.
Record your research results.
Uh ...
I drove back to the car wreck square. On the road, Shen Cong was a little bit emotional.
There are too many things to do, and time is not enough-research activity, ingestion activity, need to build weapons, need to store food, need to find supplies, and the King Kong was blasted by a mutant ant and a tire was too late It can't be replaced. The tires that were bitten by prehistoric giants have not been repaired.
After several twists and turns and several crises, King Kong's active distribution has always failed to reach 100%, which is a great regret.
Fortunately, each crisis stimulated Shen Cong to understand and master the activity.
Lost activity can be added back, gaining knowledge is priceless, which is the difference between him and the beast. The beast can desperately strengthen the activity, but he does not know how to use it, and in the end it is just to send him meat.
"If you encounter mutant monsters like plastic rabbits again ..."
After a few minutes, I reached my target location.
The mutant ant died yesterday afternoon, and the body was still lying in place. Shen Cong replaced Optimus Prime 1.0 active battle armor, equipped with weapons, carrying a large canvas bag, and began harvesting active cores, ant legs and crops on the ground.
工作 The work took two full hours.
Finally, Shen Cong counted the harvest, and the total amount obtained yesterday and today.
There are 1,433 ants with short and fierce worker ants, 221 unbroken sacs, 206 pairs of palatal active cores, 18 pairs of antennal active cores, 9 nodular active cores, and 4 sting needle active cores.
There are 357 ants with short and fierce soldier ants, 53 unbroken sacs, 52 pairs of palatal active cores, 6 antennal active cores, 4 nodular active cores, and 3 sting needle active cores. There is also a short warrior ant, which gives birth to a pair of large bone-shaped wings and belongs to the active core.
The total number of corpses of two mutant ants is about 320.
However, in the sac of many mutant ants, there is only a small amount of formic acid, which was probably consumed by the siege of King Kong ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The active core, radiation intensity and size of the mutant ants are far inferior to Tai Ritian, A mutant monster like a digger.
Clear out enough materials, King Kong set off again, away from possible danger. The metal and bodies of the car wreck square are likely to attract more mutant monsters. Shen Cong does not want to be in trouble anymore. King Kong has suffered several injuries and now needs time to repair.
Manual driving for an afternoon, the driving distance is not ideal, there is no smooth road, and it is quite painful for heavy trucks.
Especially on the ground now, the **** is getting bigger and bigger, and it has come to the hilly terrain.
When Jin Wuxi fell, Shen Cong's vision appeared a ruin of human life surrounded by a barren ridge. He saw the ruins of houses lined up in a row, buried in gravel, and a complete section of a wall. It can be seen from above that the signboard was once laid with iron letters.
"Shijie Hotel."
Shen Shencong immediately recognized what this place was, Shijie Town, Wuwei County.
"Haven't stepped out of Wuwei County?" Shen Cong frowned. Shijie Town was more than 20 kilometers away from Chaohu City and about 20 kilometers away from Wuwei County. That is to say, Shen Cong had only left Wuwei County in these days. ten kilometers.
Although the driving distance is shorter than imagined, knowing that this is Shijie Town, Shen Cong can easily set the correct driving road based on the map.
"The north side of Shijie Town is a mountainous area, and it is not easy to walk. It seems necessary to find Provincial Road 208 and go straight along the provincial road."
Seeing that night was coming, Shen Cong stopped King Kong at the entrance of Shijie Hotel and began the evening work ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Welcome the book readers to read, the latest, fastest, and most popular serial works are here ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Mobile users, please read.
