Thousands of clones starting from ants

Chapter 128

After a while, the fire went out and there was a pile of coke on the ground.

The somewhat irritable half-ant-man pulled out the almost charred insect meat from the embers of the fire, and it was so hot that it jumped up and down.

Then it bites on the insect flesh.

Although it is burnt, the excitement of the first bite of cooked food can be imagined.

What's more, this is a barbecue, who can resist it?
Du Jia got the hint.

"Cooked food: Your ants have discovered that fire can process food so that they can eat cooked food.

The temperature of the fire can kill many harmful substances and reduce the occurrence of diseases.

The physical strength of the ants is +2, and the lifespan is increased by 50%.

Heating causes food to decompose protein before digestive enzymes hydrolyze it, thereby improving the absorption efficiency of protein, which means that ants can absorb more amino acids to build their own protein, and the nutritional level becomes higher.

The development of the brain and neurons requires large white paper as the structural basis, and some transmitters and amines are obtained from the metabolism of amino acids.

The brain size of the ants increased.

The upper limit of IQ of ants has been increased. "

Du Jia was taken aback by this reminder, it was the first time he felt depressed because of his lack of knowledge.

Looks like it's time to make friends with a master of biology, preferably entomology.

But the end result is understandable.

I didn't expect to become smarter by eating cooked food, which is really not bad.

……

The behavior of this half-ant-man is a challenge to the entire order of the ant society.

Soon the queen got an early warning.

It is completely unable to figure out why there are ants that plunder their compatriots.

Because ants have no concept of private property at all.

Suddenly, dozens of soldier ants were dispatched.

All in one go to arrest this irascible half-ant-man.

This half-ant-man obviously had no concept of arrest, so he was arrested.

But what to do with the half-ant-man?

The queen ant has no idea at all.

Because there is no such thing as crime in the world of ants.

Naturally, there are no laws, prisons, etc., anymore.

So the queen ant reported to Anna.

Anna didn't know anything about it, and after receiving the report, she was surprised and said to Du Jia: "Master, it's unbelievable that ants can commit crimes!"

Du Jia said with a smile: "I know about this, I watched the whole process, maybe it's not a crime!"

"What is that?" Anna asked with a frown. "Judging from its behavior, it is undoubtedly a crime!"

Du Jia said: "Maybe it's just inspiration, and forget about other things. After all, IQ is touching..."

"Then let it go?" Anna asked, "Anyway, other ants won't have any objections!"

The entire ant society can be imagined as a computer.

Ants are parts inside, and even make up various applications.

When one of the programs suddenly has a BUG, ​​or even invades other programs (beating up other ants), then how to judge is the problem of the CPU (the queen).

No matter whether the CPU deletes this program or freezes this program, other programs have no opinion.

After all, they don't think alone.

Du Jia shook his head: "No matter what the cause is, it has caused bad consequences! So there must be punishment!"

What he thinks is that ants will definitely have independent consciousness in the future, so it is very important to set a standard first.

"How to punish?"

"Prison for a day!" Du Jia said.

He had thought that the tinder was fused into the play, and that was it.

After all, the results are pretty good.

But I didn't expect that the half-ant-man in prison would come up with something novel.

It doesn't know where it got some dead branches and leaves.

Then start lighting it up.

The warm feeling made it feel good, and then it pissed and muddled next to it.

The mud after playing was thrown directly into the fire.

As a result, after more than an hour, after the fire was extinguished, it was surprised to find that some mud became very hard, and it didn't feel like mud to the touch.

At this time, Du Jia got a hint.

"Pottery:
By chance, your ants discovered that the combination of fire and earth will produce wonderful changes, and the earth will no longer look like earth!

Mastering pottery gives you a +1 skill with ants. "

Du Jia was quite surprised, it turned out to be pottery?

However, he studied this so-called "ceramic" carefully, and in fact it can't be called ceramic at all, not even rough pottery.

If you talk about Tao, you might be able to get along with you barely.

The emergence of fire is of great significance to human beings.

The same is true for ants.

After thinking about it, Du Jia arranged for this half-ant-man to work in the weapons workshop.

Over the next few days, it showed its talent.

Soon, they led the artisan ants to modify many weapons. They found that many woods would become easier to shape and harder after being smoked by fire.

For the next few days.

The changes in the ant colonies are very obvious.

When they are playing, they will light a bonfire, and a group of people will have fun around it.

That feeling turned out to be the same as addiction.

then……

Swarms of ants died.

After every carnival, ants die.

"Is it exhausted?"

Du Jia thought so at first.

But found out after some investigation.

These ants turned out to be... suffocated to death.

Ant holes are already underground.

There is very little oxygen in there.

The ants also lit a fire.

With a little fire, the oxygen is consumed faster.

Can you not suffocate?
And this is one of the reasons why ants are happier playing next to the fire.

Suffocating pleasure.

I go……

When Du Jia knew the truth, his mood was very strange.

These ants... are so good at playing.

So he can only issue an order through the queen ant, and the ants are not allowed to light the fire in the ant nest.

How to use the flame.

He has to do more research.

Before the research is done, the ants cannot be allowed to play like this.

Otherwise, the ants will play themselves to death.

But even so, Du Jia has seen the power of Tinder.

He knew that would change a lot.

And he is looking forward to the next changes in the half-ant man.

The current Ant-Man is still very much like an ant.

But I don't know what the half-ant-man will look like in a few months' time, after five to seven generations of ants.

Are they all Ant-Man?

Or some are half-ant-men, some are still ants?

These are still unknown.

Durga is ready.

And more importantly, when the individual ants have wisdom and can think independently, will this have any impact on the entire management?

Need to consider treating individual ants individually?

Anna said, "No, ants are born to belong to the master. Whatever the master tells them to do, they must do it. This is their honor!"
