Gods: The Swarm

As Han Fei scanned with his mind, he easily found their traces in the divine domain. On the branches and leaves of various plants, these insects gathered in groups of dozens to several, feeding on the sap of plants, laying a lot of eggs, and the larvae grew very quickly.

They relied entirely on their numbers to occupy a place in Han Fei's divine domain, and were the prey of all species in the divine domain.

"Isn't this just a larger version of aphids?" Han Fei looked at these densely packed aphids, and recalled the information about aphids in his previous life.

It should be an insect with super fast reproduction, which can reproduce 30 generations a year. It feeds on plant sap, can secrete honeydew containing sugar, and can achieve a harmonious relationship with ants.

Although it is not known how much the characteristics of this insect overlap with aphids, based on their current appearance, their vegetarian characteristics and fast reproduction, this is a perfect template for livestock in the breeding industry.

It seems that the food problem that Han Fei had been worried about before should not hinder the development of the insect swarm in the short term. Perhaps after he is free, he can conduct a detailed investigation on this aphid.

Han Fei immediately waved his hand and recorded this idea on the light screen that popped up.

Now let's try gene adjustment first, this divine characteristic brought by the soul crossing.

After probing the divine consciousness into the queen ant's body, in just a moment, the queen ant's body has stored genes from several species. Han Fei immediately selected the simplest one from them.

It should be the gene of a locust, an omnivorous insect with wings that can fly, strong hind legs and excellent jumping ability.

As Han Fei focused his divine consciousness on the locust gene, he immediately activated the gene adjustment feature, and the power of faith began to consume at a rate of 10 points per second.

The locust gene, which was just a mess, became clear in Han Fei's eyes, and all the genes were neatly arranged in front of him according to specific rules.

According to his observation, the number of genes of this locust species just exceeded 30,000. Then Han Fei selected one of them, and continued to observe and analyze the role and function of this gene in the locust.

When he began to observe and analyze a single gene, the consumption of faith power suddenly increased three times, reaching 30 points per second.

Han Fei was unmoved and continued to analyze. After 5 minutes, the analysis was finally completed. The function of this gene is to control the locust's body surface to be green.

Although this gene has this control function, a single gene cannot complete this work. He also needs many other genes to work together, such as genes that control the skin, genes that manage metabolism, genes that provide pigments, etc. If you want to perfectly graft the advantages of a species onto his followers, you must analyze all the genes of the entire species.

In just 5 minutes, in order to analyze this gene, Han Fei consumed nearly 10,000 points of faith power, calculated according to the current consumption.

30 points are consumed per second, and each gene takes 1 minute. There are more than 30,000 genes in total. To analyze all the genes of this locust, more than 270 million points of faith power are needed. Han Fei has to work non-stop for 10 days.

"Huh..." Han Fei took a deep breath, with a forced calm expression on his face, and immediately tested the genes of other species. The result was that there was no worst, only worse.

The number of mammalian genes is generally 80,000 to 100,000, and the consumption of analysis is more than two or three times higher than that of insects.

Other insects also have 30,000 to 70,000 genes. The locust gene he chose is really the one with the least consumption and the least number of genes in the gene pool.

The problem of faith power consumption will be solved slowly as the population gradually expands, but the work of analyzing genes can only be done by him for the time being.

"Fuck... I died suddenly from liver failure in my last life. Am I going to follow the same path in this life? This god is too wronged!" Han Fei looked at the increasing species genes in the queen ant with a look of despair. The corners of his mouth began to twitch wildly. He had deeply felt the malice of this world.

"God, did I do something wrong?" Feeling the thoughts and the uneasy emotions transmitted by the queen ant through the line of faith.

Han Fei immediately gathered his mind. Just now, because he paid too much attention to the increase in the number of genes in the queen ant, his emotions affected the queen ant through his divine thoughts.

"It's okay, you are right, just focus on developing the tribe, you are awesome." Such a thought was directly transmitted to the queen ant by Han Fei, and he also gave a soothing emotion.

As Han Fei's thoughts were transmitted to the queen ant, her emotions immediately changed from uneasy to happy, and she continued to shake the two tentacles on her head.

Considering that her future is likely to become a super overtime dog, or the kind that works 24 hours a day.

Han Fei really didn't feel like pretending to be a god anymore. He was already a fanatic believer. Whether a believer had a sense of awe or not was just like that. Wouldn't it be better if the family could get along more easily?

He was going to stay in the God's Domain all the time except for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating in the real world. Now the ant colony only had the queen ant with an IQ, and her IQ was not very high, at most the level of a human child.

Han Fei really couldn't play the game of divine grace and punishment, using both grace and power, maintaining mystery and creating a sense of distance with the only intelligent seedling among the core followers according to the knowledge he learned from his memory.

For people who have received orthodox education in this world, things that seem to be extremely correct and reasonable make this soul from another world feel uncomfortable and embarrassed.

Since analyzing genes is a long process and requires a huge amount of faith, Han Fei decided to put it aside for now and focus on developing the number of ant colonies.

At this stage, the number of ant colonies is not large, and the range of activities is limited to three kilometers around the ant nest. As a carnivorous insect, their diet includes aphids that Han Fei saw before, and various small mammals within the range of activities are also their main food source.

Han Fei observed a group of worker ants collectively preparing to hunt a nest of mice. First, a worker ant discovered the mouse hole and wandered around the hole to collect nearby pheromones.

When he collected nearby information and smells and determined that there was a mouse in the hole, the worker ant did not enter the hole immediately, but began to wander around the hole with the hole as the center, leaving pheromones along the way.

After a while, the second worker ant finally got the information that there was prey here through the pheromones he left behind, and moved forward along the discovered track. The two worker ants successfully met, and their antennae touched each other to communicate.
