Heavy Truck Chariot In The End Times
Chapter 52 The Tumbling Larva
In the afternoon, two things gave Shen Cong more fun in the boring life.
One is the pupa of the second-generation upgraded maggot, which finally hatched out blow flies. Six baby fist-sized blow flies buzzed in the glass bottle.
These six blow flies, the grade is between Lv0.037-Lv0.039, the active core is no different from the No. 1 variant, and they are all beaks in the mouthparts.
Shen Cong named these second-generation blow flies.
Shen Cong fed the reserved cattle devil carrion to one of the larger second-generation blowflies; the other five second-generation blue-headed flies were kept in a bottle to test the second-generation born in the same litter. Will kill each other. Shen Cong has lost interest in feeding blow flies, which will make the internal smell of the Vajra very unpleasant.
Keep two and wait until the comparison test between the No. 1 variant and the second-generation blowfly is done, and all of them will be used as bait for fishing.
In the face of blow flies, Shen Cong can declare their end decisively, but in the face of the two ant larvae that have just hatched, Shen Cong does not know what to think.
Almost at the same time that the flies broke the pupae, the ant eggs hatched.
Two maggots slightly smaller than the mineral water bottle are now in the transparent plastic box, crawling happily, especially when Shen Cong walked over, the two maggots immediately all crawled in the direction of Shen Cong. Shen Cong could easily feel the exuded activity, their admiration and closeness to their own.
It feels bad, very bad.
Although they will become ants when they grow up, many people like to keep ants before the catastrophe. But at present, they are still the image of maggots, crystal clear bodies, covered with tiny flagella, squirming slowly, and there is a black inner core, probably an organ.
A connection with the maggots was established, which felt bad, so Shen Cong's face at the moment was black.
"Go away!"
Shen Cong tried to release his own emotions to ant larvae through the connection between activities.
This is a meaningless vent.
However, what surprised Shen Cong was that the two ant larvae actually wriggled to the side obediently, not daring to approach Shen Cong anymore.
Facing this discovery, Shen Cong immediately changed his attitude and became interested.
It is really bad to establish a sensory connection with small insects, but if you can command small insects, it would be much more interesting. The level of the two larvae in perception, which is around Lv0.036, is very weak.
"come over."
Shen Cong released his own idea again.
Two ant larvae crawled over very obediently.
"Go away."
"come over."
"Go over there."
"Tumble!"
The first three commands were executed perfectly, and the last tumbling command left the ant larva indifferent. Moreover, they came back with a dazed consciousness, and they probably didn't understand what "roll over" meant.
"Turn your body." Shen Cong tried to change his mind, but the ant larva was still at a loss.
This IQ is obviously very low.
But insects are the weakest larvae, and I can't expect to have a high IQ.
Did not toss for a while.
The two ant larvae felt "hungry" together.
Ant larvae usually eat half-digested food from worker ants, including omnivorous, carnivorous, and vegetarian food. However, Shen Cong really doesn’t know what to eat for upgraded ants. What he saw before was the stubborn ant colony gnawing. Metal.
"Feed some leaves first."
The leaves were thrown in, and the ant larvae did not lean in at all.
"Feed some more beef and sashimi."
For sashimi, the ant larvae stayed away. As for the beef, after a few bites, they also discarded it.
"So picky eaters, do you really want to feed some metal?" Thinking, Shen Cong threw a piece of scrap iron into the plastic box. He didn't quite believe that ant larvae would eat metal. This plump meat maggot didn't seem to be able to chew metal.
However, The next moment ant larvae proved that even if it is a larva, it is an upgraded larva.
Squeak, Squeak, Squeak!
Two ant larvae happily chewed on the metal, their mouthparts scratched on the iron sheet, and many iron filings were chewed down. Shen Cong observed carefully and could see that the mouthparts of the ant larvae had a ring of sharp teeth that could easily scrape a layer of iron filings on the surface of the iron sheet.
After more than three minutes, the slap-sized piece of iron was eaten clean by two ant larvae, and there was nothing left.
"Well, you guys eat this, what I have is."
Shen Cong directly threw a pile of scrap iron left over from welding hunting clips into a plastic box. The ant larvae had no excretion holes, and all the iron filings they ate were accumulated in the body. It can be seen from the translucent body that a large amount of iron filings are accumulated in the black organs, and then they are continuously digested.
The size of the larva is also growing rapidly, quickly exceeding the size of the mineral water bottle, and is still greedily eating metal. The body color has also changed from transparent milky white to light yellow, and the color has been deepening.
Shen Cong was simply busy welding the hunting clamps nearby to facilitate the observation of ant larvae.
One afternoon, it takes a moment to pass.
After the ant larva grew up to the size of a large bottle of Coca-Cola, it finally stopped eating. The whole body was dark brown, and it swallowed a whole five kilograms of metal.
After stopping eating.
The two ant larvae began to approach each other and rub their bodies together.
"What is this!" Shen Cong looked at the ant larva curiously, and some strange thoughts drifted through his mind.
Soon he knew what the ant larva was doing-molting.
Rubbing against each other, sloughing off each other's skin and own skin, this is the transition from the first instar larva to the second instar larva. In general, the larvae of many insects undergo two molting. Before molting, they are called first instar larvae, after the first molting they are called second instar larvae, and after the second molting they are called third instar larvae or mature larvae.
Then began to pupate, form cocoons, and change into adults.
Shen Cong was curious that he did not see this change during the development of the second-generation blowfly. It is normal eating, drinking, and pulling, and then it grows to a certain size and begins to pupate.
"Perhaps the second generation was from ordinary flies, breakthrough to upgraded flies, and did not completely evolve successfully?" Shen Cong guessed that, after all, it was artificial intervention, forcibly transforming the descendants of ordinary flies into upgraded flies.
He shook his head and stopped paying attention to this unanswered question, and continued to pay attention to the second instar larvae of ants.
The skin of the first instar larvae shed is dark brown, but the skin of the fresh second instar larvae is still transparent and milky white, and the body shape remains the size of a large bottle of Coca-Cola. The activity level is from the previous Lv0.036 Ascension to the current Lv0.048. Great progress has been made.
What embarrassed Shen Cong was that the connection between the first-instar larvae and him was still vague. By the second instar larvae, the connection between this activity is even clearer. It seems that the mood of the second instar larvae is more emotional than that of the first instar larva, or the intelligence quotient has increased.
Shen Cong does not believe that the IQ of the second instar larvae increases.
So he conveyed his own idea: "Roll."
