Chapter 146 Several Insects Suitable for Human Cultivation (More tips for your big brother)
Taman is Niya's father's name.

On the screen, two insects of different shapes appeared at the same time.

"The second insect is called the Blue Green Spider Wasp. It is huge and can grow to more than 5 meters in adulthood. It has a wide back space and has the ability to carry two insect humans and at least 300 kilograms of cargo. They are a It is a low-level soul beast with the attribute of wind, and the maximum strength it can reach is the awakening level."

"If you want to evolve, you have to absorb a lot of energy and mutate your body like anemone, but for a 'consumable' product, it's not worth it."

"The social structure of the Blue Green Spider Bee is similar to that of most bee colonies. It needs to be built by the queen bee, which is the mother bee. Therefore, if you want to cultivate a Blue Green Spider Bee transport team, you must find a queen bee."

"Wild blue spider swarms need to be domesticated for at least 2 generations before they can gradually obey the command of the insect man."

"Your Excellency Taman's notes record how to attract wild queens. I will send the information to you later, so I won't go into details here."

"The third insect is called the Silver Thorn Damselfly. It is also a low-level soul beast. The upper limit of its strength is the awakening level, and its attribute is gold."

"The Silver Thorn Damselfly is relatively petite in size, moves quickly, and can perform powerful metal-cutting soul skills. It can handle both long and short distances. It is the fighting partner of the vast number of Insec insect slaves."

"The above three kinds of insects are all short-lived species."

"Here I want to introduce a concept, short-lived species and long-lived species of insects."

"Generally speaking, most of the insects that are called consumables by insect masters are short-lived species. Their life span is only 5 years at most, and even less than 1 year at most. Although short-lived species have a short life, they have a big lifespan. The advantage is that it grows rapidly. It only takes 5-10 days to grow from a larva to an entry-level level. With the intervention of a insect master, it can reach the awakening level within a month. Unless it evolves, its lifespan will never exceed the upper limit."

"And the amount of energy they absorb is not very high, only about one-third that of anemone trees. It seems that the rapid growth of strength comes at the cost of burning life."

"The immortal species are the exclusive fighting partners of insect masters. They have a longer lifespan than other insects. They can survive for at least 50 years, but their growth rate is slower than that of the short-lived species. However, the upper limit is higher and they can break through the awakening level. Extraordinary, warrior, even lord.”

"The cultivation method of each kind of immortal insect is a secret that is not passed down by insect masters. Even the same kind of immortal insect can evolve into different branches and show different abilities in different insect masters."

"This...is the power of the insect master."

Having said this, interruption expert Lu Xiuning raised his hand again.

"Mr. Lu, tell me." Lena smiled.

Lu Xiuning asked a question that everyone is more concerned about: "If we control these insects, will we be suppressed by other insect masters?"

"Yes, but there are also categories of suppression."

Lena walked to the whiteboard under the projection screen, took out a marker, and wrote the words "ancestor" and "other" on it in Xia Mandarin.

"The Ancestral Family has the strongest inheritance of insect masters. As long as they are of the same type of insect, insect masters from other families will be suppressed by the Ancestral Insect Masters."

"The Ancestral Family seems to control the most essential genetic code of some large insect families. This is the suppression ability of the Ancestral Insect Master."

"In addition, between insect masters from different races or from the same race, higher-level insect masters will suppress lower-level insect masters."

"Not only are there strengths among soul beasts, but there are also rank distinctions among insect masters."

"According to Lord Taman's notes, mental power has at least 5 levels, with the first level being the lowest and increasing in order. There is also a significant difference in the number of insect swarms that an insect master can control at each level."

"Of course, insect masters with high mental power levels do not mean that their soul beasts are absolutely strong. However, this is a positive correlation. Insect masters with high mental power levels can better cultivate insects."

"High-ranking insect masters can not only use the average strength of the insect swarm to crush lower-level insect masters, but they can also use mental power to suppress them. However, this does not involve genetic and bloodline suppression. It is purely a crushing of strength."

"It is worth mentioning that genetic and bloodline suppression is more ferocious than strength suppression. Two insects of the same level, trained by the ancestor insect master, can completely make another insect of the same level unable to resist at all, and may even Just sit back and wait for death.”

After these words were spoken, the conference room fell into a brief discussion.

"The ancestor insect master is so powerful..." Han Ning was shocked.

I didn’t expect that even creatures like insects would be suppressed by blood.

And it is not a natural suppression, but a bloodline suppression ability born after being cultivated by the ancestor insect master, so this is very terrifying.

Fortunately, an ancestor insect master is only proficient in cultivating insects of one large clan, otherwise they would be really invincible.

"In this way, as long as our mental power is on the same level as the opposite insect master, and the opponent is not the ancestor insect master, the suppression force will not be very great, and it will only be the purest strength gap." Dean Wu's face softened slightly.

"The insect populations controlled by the two sides are also roughly different, and the probability of bloodline suppression is very small." Liena nodded.

At this time, Han Ning frowned and said:
"There is also a very serious problem. The Insek clan has been exterminated by the Founding Family. If we command the Insek family's iconic insects to go out to fight, will it attract the attention of the Founding Family and lead to greater danger? ?”

Unless you are fighting the bugs, you must be very careful and cautious if you don't leave anyone alive. If you don't pay attention, you may lead to disaster.

Lena sighed:

"This is indeed a problem. We can only see if we can thoroughly study Lord Taman's insect master's notes and then improve on this basis. At present, we can only cultivate the insect swarm according to his breeding method."

"That's the only way." Han Ning sighed.

"Then I will continue." Liena cleared her throat, took a sip of water, and said: "The above three low-level insects have different recipes and different habitat requirements, but there is a way to Accelerate their growth.”

"That is insect crystal, a light green crystal condensed in the body of an entry-level insect or above. After an insect dies, the insect crystal dug out from the body is given to another relatively weak insect to eat, which will accelerate its growth. Of course , cannot fully grow to the strength of the dead insect, and energy will be lost.”

"This is what insect crystals are used for!" Han Ning suddenly realized.

Listening to Liena's description, insect crystal is more like a catalyst.

"Oh, by the way, the fireflies in the hands of the three insect men we captured, also known as the flaming fireflies, are a kind of insect that is more powerful than the silver spiny damselfly. It is roughly equivalent to the mid-level combat power of the Insek tribe. We can try to use Insek’s method to raise those flying fireflies.”

Lu Xiuning said: "There are only 5, right? Are there female worms?"

"If it doesn't exist, it can't reproduce." Lena shook her head and continued,
"In addition to the three lowest-level insects, there are also some living species, small insects that are not even soul beasts. I found that they may be very helpful to us."

Before anyone could ask curious questions, Lena clicked the mouse, and several petite hand-painted insect portraits appeared on the projection screen.

She narrated:

"I also selected three insects."

"The first type is called gold-eating insects. They are small insects that live near mineral veins. They are only the size of a palm. Although they are small, they can swallow ores containing a variety of metals into their bellies. After complex biological processes System, these mixed metals will turn into relatively pure metal elements and be excreted as feces."

"Insek people, or other insect people, will consciously cultivate this kind of insects, pick up their excrement, and use it to cast different types of metal tools."

"Oh? Interesting!"

Whether it was combat or logistics personnel at the scene, after hearing the description of the gold-eating insect, their faces showed great interest.

When it comes to magical abilities, the three insects commonly used by the Insek people are really not as impactful as the gold-eating insects.

"The second type, I simply and crudely translate it as crude oil oak worms. Their appearance is like the oak worms on our Blue Star. They usually like to eat some rotten soul beast corpses. Like gold-eating insects, the substances excreted by crude oil oak worms are It has properties similar to crude oil."

"This kind of insect is only described in a few sentences in the notes. Insect people usually light their excrement and use it as lighting or a heat source for cooking food and heating."

"Actually, I'm not sure whether the excrement of crude oil oak worms is crude oil. I just deduce from Mr. Taman's description that its properties are close to crude oil."

"crude?!"

After hearing this description, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

The importance of crude oil is self-evident. After refining, it will be transformed into different oil products.

Although the refining of crude oil is also a technical task, at least with the raw materials, refining can be studied slowly.

The simplest distillation can produce three types: gasoline, kerosene, and diesel.

"There is also a kind of insect, which I call the Electric Cannon Insect. They are more like fighting spirit beasts. The upper limit of their strength they can reach is also the extraordinary level. The reason why they are mentioned is because the Insek people rarely cultivate them. they."

"The reason for the lack of cultivation is that the number of these insects is rare and the resources to cultivate them are scarce."

"Cultivation of them requires the use of lightning, which is electricity."

"It has been said before that insect crystals can accelerate the growth of insects, but it cannot speed up their spiritual energy recovery. An insect that has reached its limit will not be able to increase its own attribute spiritual energy reserves no matter how much it takes insect crystals."

Han Ning knew that this was because of the problem of elemental affinity. The insect master must know the concept of elemental affinity, but he would not use precious soul beast crystals to cultivate short-lived soul beasts.

The energy transfer and elemental affinity between soul crystals also have losses. If you want to build a super powerful soul beast, you must consume a huge amount of soul beast crystals.

"Electric energy is a precious energy source for insect people, and most of the soul beasts that control lightning are rare species. This has led to the fact that electric cannon insects are not taken seriously. Mr. Taman only briefly mentioned their cultivation methods."

At this point, someone has already guessed what Lena wanted to express.

Han Ning looked a little excited:

"Ms. Lena, you are saying that we humans can generate electricity, which means we can cultivate a batch of electric cannon bugs and use the generated electric energy to cultivate their growth."

Lena smiled slightly: "Yes, currently we can only use diesel to generate electricity, but there is no shortage of rivers in the insect continent. Let's not talk about the distant things of building hydropower stations and hydropower generation. First, cultivate a large number of crude oil oakworms and refine a large amount of diesel. , using a generator to generate electricity and feeding electric cannon bugs is also a good idea."

If a single Electric Cannon Bug can barely grow to the extraordinary level, then consider them as Extraordinary I creatures. If you can really cultivate 100 Extraordinary I Electric Cannon Bugs, you will still have a battle against a insect master with three extraordinary limits. The power of it!
Although this is only the lowest level insect master, at least it gives everyone hope of survival!
"Gold-eating insects... crude oil oak insects... electric artillery insects..." Dean Wu repeatedly recited the names of these three insects, and his frown gradually relaxed.

After a pause, Lina said:

"Dean Wu, do you want me to continue talking about higher-level insects? I think it is a bit troublesome to build supporting facilities for cultivating those insects. For us at the moment, it seems that we will not be able to use them for the time being."

Dean Wu thought for a moment and said, "No need to talk about it for now, do you have any information about mental potions?"

"Yes." Liena turned back a few pages of the ppt, and more than a dozen hand-drawn patterns of plants and soul beast tissues were displayed on the screen.

"The Insek tribe calls this mental potion the Concentrating Liquid. It is made from 18 kinds of materials through various grinding and roasting methods. The side effects are relatively small, but it will cause severe pain to the user after taking it. I had a headache for three days.”

"From a bug man with mental power talent to a first-level mental power, you only need to take 5 marked doses of the concentration liquid, provided that the brain can withstand the impact of side effects. This kind of item is also an insect among the Insek tribe. It is unique to the master. In addition to using it themselves, they usually dilute it and reward it to insect servants, or give it to their valued descendants."

"It's just that... the sources of materials for making the concentration liquid are quite complicated, and some of them go deep into dangerous areas, making it very difficult to collect them."

"I speculate that the liquid we obtained from the first insect man was just a semi-finished product. Fortunately, no one took it, otherwise it might have unpredictable consequences." Liena said with some fear.

Among the lot of information Liena said, only the concentration liquid could help Han Ning improve significantly. He couldn't help but ask:

"Ms. Lena, you mentioned some dangerous areas, what are you referring to?"

"Not all insects on the Insect Continent are controlled by the Ancestral Insect Masters. Moreover, nearly 20% of the creatures are not insects. Among them, there are some existences that even the Ancestral Insect Masters feel afraid of, even fearful. "

"They control all kinds of extraordinary and strange abilities and dominate an area. These places are regarded as forbidden areas by insect masters."

"Before talking about these dangerous areas, I have to mention the types of soul beast attributes discovered by the Insek clan insect masters."

Lena took another swig of water to moisten her throat.
