Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality

Chapter 126 Elephant Trunk Soldier Ant
"No problem. Anyway, the granary is integrated with the main house. If you work harder, the main part of the granary should be completed tomorrow. The carpenters have already made the doors and windows, just install them. The moisture-proofing of the ground has been done, and it needs to be paved again. One layer of bricks, I’ll let another apprentice do the work.”

Tang Fang agreed immediately.

After settling the matter of the granary, Qin Niu felt much more at ease.

Although he now has a good income, he still needs to store enough food.

This will prevent you from having nothing to eat when famine occurs.

He had a hunch that the insect plague was so serious this time, and the time of pinching was the critical moment when the grain entered the maturity stage.If the insect plague cannot be stopped in time, it is very easy to cause a major famine.

A while ago, the floods had destroyed many crops.

Now many people are replanting the second round of crops, which are in the seedling stage.

Locusts can easily eat everything in just one night.

He can have a grain reserve of more than [-] kilograms, so he and Xiaoqing will not have to worry about food rations.

Because both of them have practiced martial arts, they both eat a lot.

That requires even more preparation.

Qin Niu came out of his home and was thinking about ways to deal with the locusts.

These days, he has actually been thinking about this issue.

He took the calf with him, and for the first time, he did not rush up the mountain to practice or cultivate insects, but came to the entrance of the village.

Along the way, we passed by Zhuang Jie Land on the roadside, and we could see many villagers catching locusts in the fields.

This kind of scenery is rare in a hundred years.

Qin Niu carefully observed the terrain of Shuangfeng Village.

It's like a long and narrow pocket shape, and it's overall slope-shaped.

Locusts mainly enter the village through this opening.

If locusts cannot be prevented from entering the village, even ten times more people catching them will be a drop in the bucket.

Xu Zhenchang saw Qin Niu standing at the entrance of the village, frowning and looking around, and was secretly happy. It seemed that Mr. Qin was determined to help everyone deal with the locusts.

He immediately put down the insect catching net in his hand and walked over.

"Master Qin, the crops in the fields are getting worse day by day. Our village may run out of food in the second half of this year."

Xu Zhenchang said worriedly.

As the village chief, he must seek the welfare of the villagers.

He himself is a big grower in the village. If he really cannot contain the insect infestation, he will suffer greater losses than anyone else.

It is very possible for the family business that has been worked hard for many years to return to before liberation.

"I think the entrance to the village should be blocked first."

Qin Niu said.

"This...the reason is this, but there is no way to block it! Locusts can fly and can fly over obstacles three to four meters high. You can't stop them even if you want to!"

Xu Zhenchang also thought about this method.

Just simply can't do it.

"There is a way!"

Qin Niu's eyes were firm and full of wisdom.

"You said, as long as it can be done, I will do my best to make it happen."

Xu Zhenchang's face showed a hint of hopeful joy.

As long as the locusts are stopped from entering the village, there will be no worries.

"These two fields need to be sacrificed and used as buffer zones. First set up a one-meter-high dense net at this location, then set up a one-meter-high dense net at that location, and then enclose both sides. Then Filling it with chickens and ducks should be able to initially prevent most of the locusts from entering the village."

Qin Niu summed up a set of practical methods based on his own insect removal skills and insect catching skills, combined with the actual situation on site.

"Ducks eat a lot, and there are ways to use ducks to deal with locusts in ancient books. Master Qin's idea is brilliant!"

After hearing this, Xu Zhenchang's face was full of excitement and expectation.

"Let's organize the villagers to implement this method and give it a try! If there is a problem, we will find a solution. I will bear the loss of these two acres of land personally. As for the chickens and ducks, we can collect them from the village first, and then return them when they are used up. It should be easy to purchase a dense network. You and Uncle Wang will bear the cost together. What do you think? "

In order to enhance his prestige in the village and win the hearts and minds of the people, Qin Niu took the initiative to bear the loss of the two fields.

"No problem at all. I'll do it right away. These locusts are really worrying me to death." Xu Zhenchang agreed without thinking.

It only costs a few bucks to buy a fishing net, and with Mr. Wang sharing the money, the expenses will be even less.

It is much more affordable than hiring a large number of people to catch locusts every day.

And as long as locusts can be prevented from entering the village, the disaster will be stopped.

After Qin Niu gave the guidance, he took Maverick to the mountains and would just come back tomorrow to see the effect.

……

I came to the mountains and put the more than 200 termites I brought down the mountain back to their nests last night.

Now, the mountains have become his workplace.

"Get out all the new termites."

Qin Niu issued an order to the ant colony.

Nine or ten new members would come out every day, and he would nurture them using the blood of the banyan tree.

Different from the past, this time a large group of young ants came out directly.

Qin Niu was stunned.

"Is this, is this the first batch of hundreds of ant eggs laid by the queen that have all metamorphosed into adults?"

He was excited.

Checking the properties of the ant colony, it turned out to be exactly what he had guessed.

Time flies so fast!
Unexpectedly, more than 20 days have passed since the queen ant could lay hundreds of eggs a day.

They all metamorphose into adults.

"There are 67 ordinary worker ants, 1 vigorous worker ant, and 2 poisonous worker ants. 25 ordinary soldier ants, 3 poisonous soldier ants, 1 elephant-trunk soldier ant, and 1 breeding ant."

After checking the properties of these one hundred young ants, Qin Niu was filled with endless surprises.

I used to want a termite with special properties to appear, and I was eager to see it.

Now that the base number has increased, a powerful worker ant has appeared directly, and two poisonous worker ants that have never appeared before have appeared, as well as an elephant-trunk soldier ant and a breeding ant.

These are very special existences.

When the breeding ant grows up, it should be ready for marriage.

If it succeeds in creating a new termite empire, I wonder if it will also become Qin Niu's pet?
Can I also be commanded by him?
These have yet to be tested.

The elephant-trunk soldier ant is a very special species of ant.

They can release chemicals to attack their enemies.

Can be considered an advanced version of poisonous ants.

But it is very different from poisonous ants.

Theoretically speaking, elephant-trunk soldier ants can also exhibit venom properties.

It's just that the probability is very low.

Just imagine, now only one elephant-trunk soldier ant emerges from one hundred ants. I am afraid it would take five to six thousand larvae to produce an elephant-trunk soldier ant with venom.

According to Qin Niu's experience in cultivating ant colonies, the more attributes a termite has at birth, the greater its growth potential.

For example, if the powerful soldier ant is successfully cultivated, it can immediately become a third-level tiger-striped armored ghost ant.

The growth height of ordinary soldier ants is that of second-level tiger-striped ghost ants.

There is also a huge gap in combat power between the two sides.

Ten tiger ants cannot defeat one tiger ant.

As for the special existence of Lao Si, it is even more rare.

He seriously doubted that it could be replicated.

"Don't worry, I'll come one by one, and I'll make sure that each one will be well nurtured."

Qin Niu is not worried about the blood of the banyan tree at all. On the contrary, it is a little more difficult to obtain the blood of the 'Thousand Eyes Tree'.Because their numbers are small and the plants are small, not much can be harvested at one time.

Fortunately, the amount required to grow a termite is very small.
