Astral Ant Tribe
Chapter 67 Juniper’s Advice
Pandan Mountain.
It was late winter when Shanbei Molan had just drawn her foil.
After being severely reprimanded last time, this time the juniper did not dare to leave its post without permission, and stayed bored beside the god-given seeds of the fruit orchid.
The throne of domination moves from far to near.
Juniper stood up.
Soldier ants of different sizes all around stood up one after another.
"Pandan!"
"Juniper."
Mo Lan flew back first, and regardless of whether she liked the fruity orchid god-given seeds or not, she recounted her journey northward with great interest.
The throne of domination descends.
"Longbai Ant King, why are you back so early?" Juniper asked.
“I had a major harvest, so I came back early.”
Long Bai would not say that he almost froze to death in the ice and snow. He waved his tentacles and praised:
"Juniper, you have done a good job. From now on when Mo Lan and I travel far, you will focus on staying in Mo Lan's territory. Herbs are fragile. You must not only protect the god-given seeds of fruit orchid, but also protect other Orchid grass life seed."
"I see."
Juniper asked: "Longcypress Ant King, what should I do with the azure god-given seeds from the south of the mountain?"
Long Bai: "You just need to patrol there regularly. During the fruit ripening season, I will arrange blue soldiers to guard under the tree."
"Oh -" Juniper hesitated and said, "Longbai Ant King, I have a suggestion, I don't know if I can tell it."
Do you still make suggestions?
Long Bai: "Speak!"
Juniper: "We can dig a tunnel that runs through the north and south of the mountain. From the ant nest in the south of the mountain, all the way to..."
Juniper raised his front legs, pointed in the direction of the cave where Mo Lan lived, and said: "It leads to that way. Usually, some soldier ants are scattered inside the tunnel to communicate and transmit information. In this way, any place in the south or north of the mountain will appear. In case of emergencies, I can quickly receive the news and lead the soldiers to rush to support in time."
Juniper: "One more thing. In the future, as our kingdom develops and grows, the size and number of worker ants and soldier ants will increase, and the ant nests will have to expand deeper into the mountains."
Very sensible analysis!
But this Juniper guy has a big head, but most of it is muscle. How could he think of such a far-reaching problem...
Long Bai: "Did you come up with this?"
Juniper hesitated and said: "I and Juniper thought of it together. Moreover, Juniper said that we only need to send 3 intermediate special chemical worker ants and 15 junior special chemical worker ants in three shifts, taking turns digging and digging day and night. It can be excavated in a year at most by moving it.”
Juniper: "Juniper also said that it can only be dug with Mo Lan's permission..."
Long cypress is known as juniper cypress.
Juniper is an intelligent worker ant, and is naturally much smarter than the giant soldier ant.
"Okay! I got it. I'll be quite busy recently. When I'm done, I'll arrange for a team of worker ants to go over and dig."
"You continue to guard Molan's territory, and I'll go find Juniper."
Long Bai explained and controlled the throne to climb over the mountains and land at the entrance of the ant nest.
Long Bai led a large group of worker ants out of the nest to greet them, and also helped unload the goods, but found that Long Bai did not bring back many things when he went out this time.
"Longbai Ant King, why did you come back early?"
"This is a silver cypress tree seed, an extremely precious tree species. Take it to the ant nest and keep it."
The ruling throne shrank, and Long Bai threw a spider silk bag to the ground.
Jue Bai was a little confused.
Long Bai explained, "Silver cypress should be a variant of Juniperus macrocarpa. The strengthening effect is to optimize the body shape. It is extremely rare and practical."
Long Bai ordered: "Jiunbai, come down the mountain with me. Let's go to the pond at the foot of the mountain and inspect the topography and geology. We will plan to cultivate the garden. We will be very busy after spring."
…
The pond where the azure god-given seeds take root is located in the low valleys of the mountains.
Four to five hundred meters away, there is a hill with a height of about a hundred meters and a length of about one kilometer. The slope is gentle in most places.
Silver cypress doesn't seem to like growing high in the mountains.
Long Bai decided to carve out this small hill first for planting silver cypress.
It is uncertain whether silver cypress is adapted to southern climates.
Long Bai and Mo Lan inspected the north of the mountain again and planned to cultivate a garden on a small hill in the north of the mountain and plant a number of silver cypress trees.
The southern part of the mountain and the northern part of the mountain are carried out at the same time. Comparative observations are made to see which side grows better. In the future, large-scale reclamation and planting will be carried out on that side.
The so-called "reclamation" means clearing away the original plants, organizing the uneven slopes into square squares of neat flat land, and digging ditches.
Among them, trees are the most troublesome to clean. First, you have to cut off their branches and leaves, then bite off the trunk and knock it down. Finally, you have to dig underground to clean out the roots of the tree.
When orchards are opened, ponds must be dug in the mountains to prevent drought.
The overall project volume is huge and may not be completed within a year.
There are not enough worker ants to do the work.
Next, Longbai needs to breed worker ants on a large scale, and plans to increase the number of specialized worker ants to 200.
Considering that he and Mo Lan need to travel far for trade and exploration, the number of specialized worker ants has increased sharply, and accordingly the number of specialized blue ants that store food also needs to increase.
The current rate of ant eggs produced by the Throne of Dominance is 1 ant egg per day on average.
According to the rules, when Long Bai evolves into the 4th-instar intermediate ant king, the upper limit of ant eggs produced per cycle can be increased to 5.
Needs to evolve once.
Long Bai felt that the God-given Seed from the Ziziphus jujube had a good effect on strengthening the membrane wings. He mixed it with Ghost Fan, Ziziphus Ziziphus seeds, Ant King Honey brewed from Ziziphus Ziziphus pulp, and the pandan seeds produced in the Molan Territory this year.
Unknowingly, Long Bai and Mo Lan's various incomes had been completely combined into one share.
This year’s pandan seed production is still 308.
200 pills were sold to the caravan.
50 pills are reserved for ghost fans.
Eat 50 pieces of cypress and mochi equally.
I took out 8 pills to make samples, and took them back to Baifanshan to show Red Fox, Baifan, and Wufan to prove their strength.
…
After a light rain, there were three consecutive sunny days and the temperature warmed up.
The orchids are blooming.
It was busy up and down the mountain.
Dragon cypress and juniper cypress led the ant colonies respectively to open two nurseries in the south and north of the mountain, sowing the silver cypress seeds in time.
On the mountain, planting plants requires loose soil and fertilization.
The 2-instar intermediate king ants have completed sowing seeds and require careful care.
After the biogas tank is emptied, the biogas residue must be transported to the pond at the foot of the mountain to topdress the seeds given by the Azure God.
The rice harvested last year is spread in a circle along the edge of the pond.
The 8 black emperor peach saplings and 6 spotted star pear saplings that were sown the year before last have all grown to over one meter and can be transplanted at selected locations.
Various common orchid grass seedlings grown in the Molan Sow Nursery last year can also be transplanted in selected locations this year.
Mo Lan is determined to cultivate top-grade orchids, and there are many things to do. It also requires eradicating weak seedlings sown in previous years and transplanting new seedlings. Flowers bloom in the spring, pollinate each other, and try what Long Bai calls ‘cross-breeding’.
Long Bai personally brought the big and small worker ants over to help Mo Lan. Long Bai didn't know much, and he was not optimistic about the development prospects of bluegrass from the beginning to the end, and just messed around. As long as Mo Lan is happy.
When the orchids planted near the ant nest bloom, the cypress trees sprout flower spikes one after another.
This year we still need to carry out proper flower thinning.
Dragon cypress, juniper, juniper, and giant cypress each retain 80 flowers and produce 80 fruit balls, which are approximately 400 to 500 cypress seeds.
Both green cypress and dry cedar have flower spikes.
40 cypresses are reserved.
Do not leave any dry cedar flower. First, it will not bear fruit, and then it will grow well for another year.
When all kinds of urgent matters are dealt with, the spring season comes when flowers bloom.
It’s time for the caravan from Wan Guo Continent to arrive.
Long Bai calculated the time, simply packed up, and set off with Mo Lan.
