Chapter 233 New Queen

"You don't know much about life science, so you may find it strange. In fact, this is a normal phenomenon in the insect swarm." Militty shook her head, as if to get rid of her troubles, and returned to her original carefree state. Lazy, "Most gregarious insect groups have a clear division of labor. One of them will become the leader of the group. Ant colonies have queens, and bee colonies have queens. Even spiders, most species of which live alone, , spider mothers will be born when they live in groups, just like the one we met before."

"According to different divisions of labor, bugs will also undergo different changes, among which the leader changes the most. Larger size, body structure more suitable for production, stronger vitality, higher environmental adaptability, and, far more than other bugs Intelligence. Just like the little spiders only know how to eat and fight, but the mutant spider mother can take the little spiders to move strategically and defend instead of attacking in the cave. This is the difference in intelligence. So, the bugs in this world ——Well, seeing as they can always coexist peacefully, they should belong to the same ethnic group—it’s not surprising that a leader is born among them.”

"But your answer does not explain my question." Shuer asked thoughtfully, "If there is a leader with high intelligence, it should not be able to be projected in, or should it be said that its intelligence is not high enough to be an intelligent creature? , so it was projected in like most ordinary Warcraft?"

"No, its intelligence...should be high enough. I doubt that its intelligence is no worse than our so-called intelligent creatures."

"Why?" Shuer asked, "Is there any evidence?"

"Want to know?" The Necromancer squinted his eyes, with a mysterious smile on his lips, and curled his fingers towards Shuer, with bright red nails that were alluring, "Come here and I'll tell you."

"Oh?" The two of them happened to be sitting across from each other. Xiu'er's pupils shrank, and he leaned over with a half-smile, "What do you want to tell me?"

"Ha..." Mility reached out and grabbed Xiure's collar, pulling him closer to her, almost face to face. She put her lips to his ear, sneered and said in the lowest voice, "So you have it too. It’s something you can’t guess, Commander.”

"Haha, there are still a lot of things I don't know." Shuer was stunned and suddenly realized. He tilted his head slightly and deliberately pressed his face against it, causing Militty to subconsciously step aside, which was like a light touch on her earlobe. He blew lightly and said with a low smile, "For example, I didn't know that Ms. Militi, who is bold in clothing, sophisticated in behavior, and knows so much about women, is actually so pure when facing men. And I I don’t know what the noble Lady Meridi will do when she is controlled by jealousy? Hahahaha."

"Hmph, damn bastard." The corners of Militi's mouth twitched and she lowered her voice and said, "You were very close to some idiot today. Hmph, don't be proud. Wait until I step on you and let you lick me." When you touch my feet, she will know that you are just a scumbag at your core."

"It's really jealous." Xiu'er's smile was quite ambiguous, "You don't have to wait, you can lick it at any time. What do you think, do you want to start? Hehehe..."

"That's enough. If you want to flirt, go inside and don't waste my time." Mia slammed the table, "Are you done whispering? Tell us the answer when you're done."

"Haha, another jealous heart." He blew another breath of hot air, "I am a scumbag that is really lethal. How about you show her the nature of my scumbag now? Start with your left foot. Start licking, or..."

"Hmph, just wait and see." Meridi pushed Shuer back to his original position with a hard push, hiding the slight panic in her heart. "The argument you want has been made by yourself before."

"Oh? What is it?" Shuer's meaningful gaze swept across the faces of the two women, "Is it the change in their marching formation?"

"Not only that, there are also new types of bugs appearing, including the fortress itself." Militi thought for a while, shook her head and said, "It's too troublesome. I'll explain my thoughts to everyone."

"In my guess, the insect swarm in this world originally had only a few leaders, maybe even just one. I'll call it queen. It's a very appropriate title, isn't it?"

"Tsk." Mia sneered, expressing her contempt without words.

"Hmph, flat-chested, just wait and see." Militi made a threatening gesture and continued to explain, "These leaders at least have intelligence that is no less than that of normal humans. Why am I so sure? Because this place Fortress. Obviously, humans and these bugs are at war, and judging from the local situation, the bugs have the upper hand. We have seen part of human weapon technology, and based on what we have seen, if the bugs only rely on instinct or Is it possible to achieve such results by fighting with low intelligence?"

Of course it is impossible to physically face the sharp firearms, weapons and even combat vehicles on the human side. Without unified command, exquisite cooperation, and advanced strategies, the bugs would have been eliminated long ago, let alone gain the upper hand.

"So, the commanders or commanders of bugs are definitely intelligent creatures, and their souls can definitely be counted as the souls of intelligent creatures. However, the conditions for the birth of alien projections will not change, so in the projection Within the scope of the world, there are no commanders. They are only remotely commanding through the characteristics of the insect swarm. This can explain the reason for the smooth birth of the projection world."

"So what you are saying is that the current commander appeared after the birth of the projection world?" Putting aside the ambiguous temptation just now, Shuer tapped his thigh and said, "Is this possible?"

"As I said before, all insect swarms have queens. Take the ant colony as an example. The largest one is the queen, who is the most important part of the swarm's continuation. However, whether it is an accident or the lifespan is exhausted, if What if the queen dies? Will the ant colony die with it? Of course not."

"In order to continue to perpetuate the colony, it is not yet known whether a member of the ants is selected jointly or based on other criteria. In short, the body and spirit of a certain ant will automatically change and become a new queen. This is one situation, and there is another situation, which is swarming, such as bee swarming. When the bee colony expands to a certain extent and the environment cannot accommodate the number of bees, a certain bee will become another queen bee, and then bring As a result, a large number of bees left their hometown and developed into another group." "Basically, all swarms with leaders will use these two methods to produce new queens, and the essence of the two methods is actually the same, that is, when needed, , a certain ordinary bug will transform into a queen and take over the entire group."

"The swarm has given birth to a new queen..." Shuer squinted his eyes and nodded very slowly, "It shouldn't be over yet, you continue."

"The new queen is born in response to the needs of the insect swarm, but even for the sake of the group, it must comply with the basic rules. You cannot say who will become the new queen. There must be a process of change. A new queen is born for each insect swarm. The time is different. I don’t know much about these alien bugs in the projection world. I don’t know how long it takes for them to transform into a new queen. But from a common sense point of view, with such a large body and such high intelligence, it should be a very long time. It’s not surprising that the process takes ten or eight years.”

"Five hours."

"Yes, five hours. Even including the time the projection world drifted in the twisting void before the projection door was opened, it should not be enough for a new queen to be born in this world. But it is a pity that we are here."

"Understood." Xiu Er nodded and said, "External stimuli."

"Yes, before we arrived, there should be no fighting in the projection world."

"Well, no." Shuer confirmed, "Judging from the performance of the fortress' control system, she will not take the initiative to attack. Other fortresses should be similar. They will only attack if they find bugs entering the warning distance. And the bugs don't seem to be attacking. They don’t like to leave the area covered by the creep. After leaving, their strength will be weakened a lot. Therefore, the control ranges of the two sides do not intersect, and a battle is unlikely to occur.”

"That's right. The insect swarm was not threatened at first, and the new queen could transform normally. But suddenly, we came, and so did the cave spiders, killing a large number of insects that attacked us. But the insects took advantage of outsiders. In particular, cave-dwelling spiders have no choice but to even injure the spiders. Abnormal situations will inevitably make the insect swarm feel a serious threat and even shake the foundation of their survival. In order to cope with the stimulation, they have to change their new habits. In the process of the birth of the queen, this acceleration is not a conscious behavior, but the coping method of the entire ethnic group in order to continue. It is engraved in the blood and passed down from generation to generation."

"Is it possible?"

"Of course it's possible. In fact, the insect swarm in Parvatiga has a similar phenomenon. It constantly stimulates the insect swarm, and the birth of new insect queens will speed up a lot, but it's not that fast. But this is an alien projection, not a Parvatiga. Vadiga, these insects are not the creatures that Parvadiga can appear. Therefore, under stimulation, the possibility of a new queen being born within a few hours is very high. After the new queen is born, the entire insect swarm will obey her. The order, her will, represents the will of the insect swarm, so she can control all the insects to obey order during the march."

"But, what about other types of bugs?" It's different to have experts in life sciences participate in the discussion. If Xiu Er had to think about it, he might not be able to come up with these conclusions for several years. Maybe Moria is really right?Xiuer shook his head secretly, temporarily put aside these messy thoughts, and continued to ask, "It was sent out after it was born? But before? Why didn't they come out to attack by themselves?"

"Before? Did they really exist before?"

"Ok?"

"No, it's nothing." Mility wasn't sure. "Let's wait and see tomorrow. I'll check the bug's corpse tomorrow, and maybe we can find the answer."

"Okay." Xiu Er clapped his hands, "We'll stop here today, if there's any problem, we'll discuss it tomorrow afternoon, you all go to rest now."

"We're all going to rest, what about you?"

"Me? Haha, guess how long it took me from being exposed to Common Language to being able to have the simplest conversation? The answer is... I also forgot."
