Chapter 6 Experiment

In just a few seconds, the communication between the two worker ants was over.

One of them continued to move in the previous range, waiting for other worker ants to arrive, and the other worker ant turned around and rushed in the direction from which it came.

As he continued to approach the ant nest, he encountered more and more animals on the road. Every time he met a worker ant, he would communicate for a few seconds, and then the two sides separated, and then continued to move towards the ant nest. When he returned to the ant nest, almost half an hour had passed.

After staying in the ant nest for just one minute, more than 30 worker ants gathered and rushed to the mouse hole. When he returned to the mouse hole, more than 200 worker ants had gathered nearby.

The arrival of this group of worker ants was like some kind of signal. The worker ants that were just circling around immediately joined this group of animals, entered the mouse hole in a mighty manner, and began to sweep the entire hole.

Each fork in the road will send a part of the worker ants to enter. Under Han Fei's divine observation, the mice in the cave seemed to have sensed the danger and began to become restless.

One of the larger mice left the mouse nest deep in the cave and began to move outward, probably to investigate the situation.

As a result, it collided with the vanguard of the worker ants after walking a few steps. Due to animal instinct, this fat and strong mouse weighing more than one pound wanted to intimidate the worker ants to defend its territorial sovereignty.

However, the leading worker ant was not moved at all. It went up and bit it. The two thick ant jaws instantly clamped the mouse's nose. The mouse rolled wildly in the tunnel in pain, trying to shake off the worker ant that bit it.

The remaining worker ants waited until the mouse stopped rolling before they swarmed over it, densely crawling all over the mouse's body. After the mouse struggled for a while, a worker ant finally grabbed its limbs and began to pull.

The special body structure of the ants brought them great strength, and they easily put the mouse in a dismembered shape, unable to move.

Immediately, four or five worker ants took the opportunity to move forward, bit the mouse's neck, and easily cut off its artery and trachea. Several worker ants began to carry the body back, and the rest continued to move forward.

In this battle, only the first ant who came forward to attack was knocked off a leg when the mouse rolled wildly, and the other worker ants were unharmed.

This hunting operation lasted for more than ten minutes, and Han Fei did not participate in the whole process. None of the nine mice in the whole nest escaped, and all became the rations of the ant colony.

"Division of labor, gathering strength, and encircling the cave. It seems that although the intelligence of this group of chimera ants is not high, they are highly social." Han Fei muttered to himself to summarize this hunting operation.

"At least from the situation of this cooperative hunting, these worker ants are not idiots who know nothing. They also adopt very practical strategies to deal with prey larger than themselves. A single worker ant brings great pain to the prey, consumes physical strength, and swarms to kill it." Thinking of this, Han Fei opened the light screen and started recording.

"This hunting only took more than ten minutes, but in the early preparation stage, from discovering the prey to completing the assembly of soldiers, it took more than an hour. The communication system of the ant colony must be improved." After completing the record of the problem discovered this time, Han Fei stood there and silently considered the solution to the communication problem.

Although Han Fei can instantly mobilize the ant colony units through the line of faith during the battle.

But at present, he has to act as a signal terminal, pay attention to the development of the ant colony in real time, and issue instructions to transmit messages. Even with more than 10,000 ant colony units, he is too busy.

"Maybe we can find a solution in the genes of other insects. We need to improve the visual distance of the eyes, a good hearing system, sound-making organs, etc." After writing down these ideas, Han Fei turned off the light screen helplessly.

It seems that the new communication system cannot solve the problem in a short time. We still have to develop the number first and collect more faith.

Thinking of this, Han Fei immediately transferred his divine thoughts and continued to collect and observe the information of the ant colony.

Time passed slowly. In a blink of an eye, Han Fei had been in the divine domain for nearly 10 hours, and in reality, about a month had passed.

During this time, Han Fei devoted all his time to the development of his own divine domain, except for going offline every day to eat and solve physiological problems.

Now the number of chimera ants has steadily exceeded 2 million because of the queen ant's increased egg-laying ability, and the entire divine domain is full of their figures.

The name of chimera ants is no longer suitable for these core followers of Han Fei. As he analyzes the genes of the collected species, he controls more and more species genes.

The ant colony units have ushered in generation after generation of upgrades, with various insect characteristics. Han Fei decisively renamed his followers as Zerg.

Now the newly born chimera ants have completely broken away from the image of ants. In addition to the old worker ants born in the first two years, the entire tribe can no longer find ant-shaped units.

Han Fei was standing in a large insect nest at this time, staring at a 1.5-meter-tall worm cocoon.

"Sizzle..." With a slight sound, a monster nearly 1.5 meters tall emerged from the worm cocoon.

Its main trunk is similar to an enlarged rodent, with obvious insect features on its head, sharp teeth on its mouth, a pair of mandibles on both sides, a pair of main eyes plus four pairs of secondary eyes, two antennae behind its head, and a metallic carapace on its body. Its limbs have sharp teeth, and its hind limbs are thicker and obviously stronger than its forelimbs. It looks like it has a strong jumping ability, and it has a pair of bone back sickles on its back.

Watching this new Zerg unit shake its body to get rid of the mucus on its body after leaving the cocoon, and start to move around the cocoon, Han Fei showed an ecstatic expression on his face. This is the new Zerg unit he created by adjusting its genes according to the appearance of the springtail in the memory game of his previous life.

"The springtail finally succeeded...?" Han Fei hadn't finished saying this before his ecstatic expression froze on his face.

The new springtail, which was still alive and kicking just now, had slowly fallen to the ground, foaming at the mouth, gasping for breath, and then dying. After struggling for less than ten seconds, it stopped breathing and turned into a corpse.

Seeing this, Han Fei immediately restrained the ecstatic expression on his face, skillfully released his divine thoughts, and began to scan the corpse of this new unit.

With a casual swipe, a blue light screen appeared in front of him, and he began to summarize his experience and record the experimental results after each failure.

Han Fei has now formed a habit of using the auxiliary system of the spirit landing cabin as a notebook for a long time.
