Astral Ant Tribe

The cold wind from the north blew all day and all night.

After the cold rain stops, spring comes and the temperature warms up.

The orchids are withering, the mountains and forests that have been silent all winter are beginning to sing, and the birds and beasts are becoming more and more active.

In the Azure Reservoir, the hibernating frogs wake up, and the leaf buds of the Azure trees begin to grow.

Long Bai hesitated again and again, sifting through the 90 azure tree seeds and selecting one to be used as a seed for the next instar. The remaining 89 seeds were soaked and sown, and he continued to observe.

This spring, there are relatively few things going on in Pandan Mountain.

Long Bai is relatively free, but he can't leave.

Every day I patrol up and down the mountain to observe the growth of the plants.

The situation is exactly as recorded in the Citizen Hall of Knowledge. Fertilization was carried out using the remains of the God-given cypress seeds. The biggest change was in the 7 cypress trees. The weather warmed up slightly and they entered the vigorous growth period.

Next are the close relatives of cypress, the large-fruited hemlock, golden pine, and king fir, with a total of 6 species.

The growth momentum of other plants was significantly higher than in previous years.

The four God-given seeds of Azure, Southern Gorgon, Northern Gorgon, and Fruity Orchid were all reported to be good.

The measured results are basically consistent with those described by the Citizen Knowledge Hall.

There is a lot of stuff, so don’t be stingy, use more.

…

In his free time, Long Bai also made a comprehensive statistics on the number of ant colonies in the kingdom.

All the worker ants and soldier ants cultivated during the primary queen period have died.

The small and micro ants cultivated during the intermediate ant king period have also begun to enter the aging period. In the next 10 years, these small intermediate ants will disappear in batches, followed by medium, large, and specialized...

Long Bai has evolved into a high-level ant king for more than five years. The ruling throne has basically never stopped producing ant eggs, and has always focused on cultivating soldier ants to increase the kingdom's combat power.

at present,

The number of specialized soldier ants and large soldier ants exceeds 2,000, and no more will be cultivated in a short period of time.

There are also hundreds of medium, small and micro soldier ants.

There are 300 specialized blue soldiers and large blue soldiers. They are responsible for fishing and irrigation. The number is slightly insufficient and needs to be supplemented.

The number of specialized worker ants will soon reach 300, and the number of large worker ants will be 200.

They are responsible for territory management and land reclamation. The current number is far from enough and needs to be cultivated in large quantities.

There are more than a hundred medium, small and micro worker ants. They are mainly responsible for the logistics of the ant nest and some fine work in the territory. They also need to add a batch, at least 300 are enough.

Currently, the number of specialized blue ants and large blue ants has reached 400.

There are also about fifty medium, small and micro blue ants.

The number of blue ants increases simultaneously with the increase in colony size.

…

Long Bai also paid close attention to the blue reservoir, and went to Black Lotus Lake to check the growth status of the three black lotus seeds in Bailiu, and compared them with the two black lotus seeds planted in the blue reservoir.

The difference is obvious. The black lotus seed that has taken root in the Azure Reservoir grows more rapidly, has thicker and more lush leaves, and has more flowers.

It is certain that the original energy field of the azure god-given seeds can also affect the life-growing plants, which can greatly increase income.

Long Bai regretted that he discovered too late that many of his and Mo Lan's plants could be sown around the Azure Reservoir.

Continuing to observe, there is a new discovery: the blue god-given seed can actually predict the weather

After the reconstruction of Xianglan Mountain, every time it rains, the thousands of ravines on the south side of the mountain will eventually converge at Zhanlan Reservoir and be discharged from the valley below.

If the rain is a little heavier, the water in Zhanlan Reservoir will rise.

Zhanlan can predict upcoming rainfall, command worker ants in advance to dig out drainage outlets, and appropriately lower the water level of the reservoir, thus minimizing the risk of flooding of animals and plants on both sides of the river.

Zhanlan is not only capable, but also has many ideas.

Longbai does not allow it to be dug around the reservoir, especially at the dam. Once the digging collapses, the entire reservoir will be destroyed.

When Zhan Lan had nothing to do, he directed the worker ants and soldier ants to collect and carry gravel and clay everywhere, and then laid layers of bedding underneath the embankment for reinforcement.

After the reinforcement was completed, they began to dig and widen the valley river channel below the reservoir, sow various plants, and expand their own ecological circle below the reservoir...

The land below was barren and the mountains were steep. Longbai had no plans to open an orchard, so he had nothing to say about it and simply let it go.

Long Bai is still thinking about another question: Will the probability of the animals and plants within the coverage of the original force field of the Azure God-given Seed to give birth to force life increase?

The coverage area is too small and the probability itself is too low to be judged through comparison.

…

Qing Ma and Hong Ma settled in Shannan Restaurant and spent most of their time recuperating on the throne.

Qing Mao was the first to fall into deep sleep and successfully evolved into the 3rd age intermediate long-term beetle warrior, choosing the green and red kiwi fruit as his life seed.

The red maple was pregnant with a god-given seed, but it was obviously laborious. It was half a month late before it fell asleep and evolved, and chose the green and red kiwi fruit as its life seed.

At the intermediate warrior stage, they only chose green and red kiwi as their life plant.

The peach blossoms are in full bloom in the orchards, and spring trading time is here.

Cuibai led 1,000 soldiers to guard his home, just in case, while Mo Lan stayed at Xianglan Mountain.

Long Bai organized the ant colony, packed his bags and set off.

Juniper and giant cypress led 1,000 soldier ants, escorted 200 blue ants and 100 worker ants, and marched toward the Hongnan Mountain ant nest.

The ruling throne carried green maple, red maple, and cedar, flying at low altitude at the front of the team.

"Green maple. Red maple. You two, be careful. Don't tell the caravan about the God-given seed of green and red kiwi fruit."

Long Bai saw that the two guys were a little too happy and warned them.

"Why?" Hong Ma was puzzled.

Long Bai: "The first reason is that last year I just told the caravan that Mo Lan got a god-given seed of green flower cold orchid. This year, I said that you also got a god-given seed. One piece a year, fragrant orchid. Is it too easy for the mountain’s god-given seeds to come by? I’m afraid some insects will have their own wild thoughts.”

Green maple and red maple look at each other: King Longbai Ant is thinking deeply

Long Bai: "Second, the strengthening effect of the green and red kiwi fruit is quite good, and it will help to evolve the mountain master in the future. Such good things should be given priority to the internal insects of Yunji Continent. When we have eaten enough insects ourselves, we can Consider selling to a caravan.”

"That's right!" Qing Ma and Hong Ma shook their tentacles in agreement. The Force food produced in his own territory is in demand by other Zerg warriors, and he cannot conceal his pride.

——After careful calculation, our demand in Yunji Continent is quite large.

--yes. In Xianglan Mountain alone, there are six command ants, including Dragon Cypress, Molan, Incense Cedar, and Juniper.

——And Sang!

——Ghost fan and raspberry.

——Bai Liu and Heiti.

——Black rice and white rice.

——The yellow skewer and spruce just discovered last winter.

--Who else?

- Yamashita? does it count? Gone.

——We ourselves need it too.

--yes.

——There are too many demand bugs.

——So much pressure~

…

Qing Ma and Hong Ma started chatting happily with each other.

The team set out early in the morning when the sky was dim and bright, and marched for half a day before arriving at their destination.

Junipers, giant cypresses, and incense cedars direct ant colonies into their nests.

Long Bai grabbed Qing Maple and Red Maple, gave a stern warning and instructions, and then handed a small spider silk bag to Qing Maple.

Last year, there were two God-given seeds, Pandanus and Betelweed, which were harvested when they were ripe.

The Gorgon seeds produced by Bei Gorgon are supplied to the interior of Yunji Continent. The only God-given force food sold this year is the fruit pandan seeds, and only 100 seeds were sold to the Seven-leaf Caravan.

Qing Ma and Hong Ma set off with the goods.
