I Am the Swarm

Throw the little black worms into the mouth casually, and then pick up and eat the rest of the little black worms to ensure the integrity of the genes.

After getting what he wanted, Rowan hurried back to the brood without wasting time.

The order for 500 new-generation queens has already been fulfilled, and 200 of them have been completed. Luo Wen hurriedly added the newly obtained gene fragments to expand the gene pool of the remaining unproduced queens.

In this way, his naval production base can be considered settled.

Time passed, and 200 new queens matured and were transported to the front line, where there was still a huge ant nest for them to receive.

After the big-headed queen and the rest of the worker ants showed their talents, they entered Dulitun. The plantation was closed and urgently needed manpower to take care of it.

The 300 old ant queens who were originally stationed nearby were also scattered to various parts of the big-headed ant's territory. After all, it can be said that there are dangers everywhere, and there are more than ten nests of red ants around.

Some time ago, the army of the swarm was extremely empty, and it would not be easy if the red ants really came. However, with the foundation of the swarm's 3,000 bases, it is not a matter of minutes to replenish troops.

Now that territory has regrouped more than 2 million troops, as long as the red ants don't unite and invade en masse, one or two of them alone will be courting death.

After the new queen was in place, the swarm's own growers were quickly hatched. After a period of growth, they had already taken over the maintenance and production of the plantation, but faced a serious shortage of manpower. After all, 7 million big-headed ants were once raised there, and the size of the underground farm is astonishing.

Those fibrous fungus crops are quite delicate, and if they haven't been taken care of for a while, some of them grow poorly.

However, the situation quickly turned around. The worker ants of the original black ant template, whether because of their strong learning ability or other unknown reasons, have also learned how to take care of and maintain the plantation.

In this way, there is no need to wait for the worker ants of the new big-headed ant template to mature, and a large number of old-version worker ants are transferred to the big-headed ant nest, and the original shortage of manpower has been greatly improved.

After a period of time, the new version of the ant queen gradually matured, and they originally needed to support the front line. But after the old worker ants took over the plantation, they had a new place to go.

New bases were established along the shores of the lake and river, and a large number of new arms began to launch into the water. They were all similar in appearance, like small boats upside down on the water, but with different shapes.

They are as small as their original bodies, only two or three centimeters long, while the big ones are like a small millstone, with a body length of about half a meter, surpassing the giant scorpion in one leap, and becoming the largest unit of the swarm besides Rowan.

Only a few of these big guys were produced, and they acted as transport ships to send some scouts to the other side. In the future, it will depend on the situation to see if there is a need for mass production.

In the following days, the swarm temporarily stopped expanding. With the addition of the planting system, the number of bugs that can be accommodated in the territory has been greatly increased. Digging ants were added back to the production list, and large numbers of digging ants were hatched.

With the help of these guys, the original base in the territory was re-planned, a spiral passage was added, and plantations were dug out, completely remodeling the layout of the big-headed ant nest.

After all, the big-headed ants have been engaged in the planting industry for so long, so they must be more professional than Luo Wen. For example, the question that has been bothering Luo Wen before, what is the purpose of the densely packed holes above the big-headed ant nest?

Later, after taking over their ant nests, after practice, I discovered that those holes were used for heat dissipation. Those fungus crops will generate a lot of heat during the production process, if the heat is not removed from the nest in time. Not only will crop production be affected, but the bugs themselves will also be affected.

And the spiral winding downward passage, the room on the passage, and the hole above the nest are all part of this heat dissipation system.

Therefore, before the structure of the nest is fully understood, and whether there are other concealing functions. Luo Wen decided to imitate the construction in all aspects, and then learn and understand through slow practice until he mastered it all.

In the next few days, the insect swarm entered a stable development period. The army on the north route stopped and continued to explore, and the other two armies also slowed down their progress.

The new planting system requires a lot of manpower, and the big-headed ants don't know how long it took to suppress such a large number. It is impossible for Rowan to slowly accumulate through time, and the swarm has its own advantages.

As a result, a new batch of orders for queen ants was placed on the production schedule of the mother nest.

There are a total of 2,000 ants in this order, and these queen ants do not have their own territories. They will serve as production tools and try their best to supplement the existing bases in their territories.

However, these are only temporary. When the insect swarm's planting system is perfected, staffed and expanded again, they will definitely have their own base.

And by then there will be more than the three armies, the new east army will cross the river and open up territory on the other side of the river.

The rivers have been conquered by the swarm, and they can no longer hinder the expansion of the swarm.

Time passed day by day, and Luo Wen, who had released his energy, also settled down. One by one, the transport worms start from the original big-headed ant nests, and transport the seeds of the fungus crops to each base.

As the plantations in each base are gradually built up, harvesting begins. The number of members of the swarm began to increase. Originally, each base had an average of only about 5,000 members, but now it has expanded to 30,000, and this number is far from reaching the limit.

Now the swarm has more than 3,000 branch bases. Based on this average, the number of swarm members is already close to 100 million, which is a huge number.

Based on this number alone, even if they encounter a big-headed ant nest again, the swarm will not fight them like last time, but will directly crush them.

During this period, five red ant nests around the original bighead ant territory invaded the swarm territory. Rowan easily mobilized five million troops in the surrounding bases, directly attacked their lairs, recycled them into protein, and occupied their territory without any tricks or tricks.

The crushed enemies made Rowan lose the fun of fighting. As the swarm became stronger and stronger, among the known enemies, perhaps only the earthy yellow ants, which seemed like natural disasters, were worthy of a battle.

However, although Luo Wen has swelled a lot, his IQ has remained normal. Although the swarm is much stronger now, with a large number of members. But there are still several levels of gaps with the yellow ants.

To fight against them, the swarm needs to continue to develop for a while. I believe that with the potential of the swarm, this time will not take too long.
