I'm trapped in a cube

The day of the solidification ceremony is coming soon...

There are all kinds of smells that Mo Ling has never smelled before in the flowers. He rolls in these smells with interest, but he also obeys the advice of Caomuxiang. Every time he comes into contact with a new smell, he will try it out before entering it.

These new smells are very pure, very similar to the smell of the bee, and do not seem to be produced naturally. Mo Ling does not know how these smells were brought by the bee, but he knows that these should be prepared for the solidification ceremony.

Mo Ling does not know what this "solidification ceremony" is, but he can feel that the bee in the flowers and Caomuxiang who has been taking care of him have become extremely busy, as if they are preparing something...

Finally, one morning, Caomuxiang brought all the newborns to the center of the flowers.

A piece of open space was opened up here, and all the bee gathered here. Countless smells mixed together, making Mo Ling a little dizzy for a while.

"Time's up, chief, let's start the ceremony..."

"Okay."

...

As the ceremony began, the chief's rich fruity fragrance suddenly bloomed, instantly covering the entire open space and permeating the scent of every bee.

And those originally chaotic free smells were separated under the control of the chief, turning into a series of distinct smell belts, spreading on the open space.

At the same time, the chief's smell fluctuations also began to echo throughout the open space.

"I have isolated all the smells, guardians, release the newborns."

With the chief's announcement, all the guardians present opened the swaddling clothes wrapped in the smell and placed the newborns in the open space.

Of course, Mo Ling was among them. He curiously explored the surroundings, but did not smell any smell, as if those smells had completely disappeared.

"Did the chief do it? Isolate all the smells?"

"Awesome!" Mo Ling did not expect that the chief's ability was so powerful.

Just thinking about it, the scattered fruity fragrance slowly surrounded all the newborns present.

Some of these newborns came from the swaddling clothes of Caomuxiang, and some came from other guardians in the flowers. After these guardians put the newborns on the open ground, they floated back into the air, as if they were very relieved about the newborns.

The leader's wave came again.

"Newborns, this is your first time to step out of the swaddling clothes and feel the smell of the outside world. It feels good, right?"

The newborns present were immersed in the sweet fruity fragrance. They squirmed their bodies and were a little clumsy.

After the leader's smell dissipated, it was not so strong, but much lighter, and smelled very fragrant.

Mo Ling rolled around in the open space following this smell. Those clumsy companions would fall down stupidly after being hit by Mo Ling, and their mobility was very poor.

Before the ceremony began, Caomuxiang told Mo Ling not to get into trouble, so he had to retreat and help up those fallen companions.

"So stupid."

Mo Ling complained in his heart and started rolling again.

The leader's scent spread out very widely and without any restraint. Mo Ling took this opportunity to roll around in it, so happy.

The leader ignored Mo Ling's behavior and just followed the process of the ceremony to proceed to the next step.

The smell began to fluctuate.

"Although you have not yet acquired the ability to communicate, I know that you can understand what I mean. You have grown up in the cradle for a long enough time. Now is the time to choose to solidify your scent."

"Now, let me tell you what scent solidification is..."

"Everything in the world is composed of molecules. These molecules gather together to form all the substances in the world. When these molecules escape from the substances, they become smells..."

...

The bee is a race that survives on smell molecules.

Their larvae are actually a molecular cluster composed of uncollapsed smell molecules.

Although this molecular cluster can survive on other smell molecules, it is easily affected by other smells.

"Whatever smell you come into contact with, you will collapse into that smell."

So, in order to prevent the cubs from collapsing before they develop self-awareness, the "guardians" of the bee colony use their own smell to create a smell-isolating swaddling cloth to protect all the cubs.

As the larvae grow, the smell molecules in their bodies will continue to replicate, just like the cells of normal organisms, and gradually increase in number. This will also slowly increase the wisdom of the larvae. At first, they will be ignorant and have no consciousness, but as the smell molecules increase, they will have the same wisdom as adults.

After reaching a certain level, they can control their collapse.

At this time, the smell can be solidified.

"Smell solidification is actually to let the larvae collapse into a certain smell molecule."

Only after becoming a certain smell molecule can they begin to participate in civilized activities such as hunting, construction, communication, and reproduction.

When the smell molecules are solidified, they can grow themselves by absorbing the same smell molecules, without having to slowly replicate themselves. Therefore, the speed of obtaining smell molecules will be greatly increased. This is the "predation" of the bee.

The more scent molecules that come together, the stronger their scent will be.

They can also change their volume freely and control the concentration of odor molecules, just like what the leader is doing now, fully unfolding their entire body and letting the odor cover an entire open space.

Not only that, only when the odor molecules are solidified can the bee be exposed to other odors without being disturbed by those odors.

At the same time, after the molecular concentration rises, they can envelop other odor molecules and "construct", arbitrarily combine odors, manipulate odors, gather other odor molecules into what they want, or use them to achieve other purposes, this is "construction".

After having a certain odor, they can pass information to other companions, express certain sentences through changes in concentration, and achieve "communication" by enveloping other odor molecules for specific indicative modifications.

And more importantly, when their concentration reaches a certain level, they can compress the odor molecules and superimpose them with the odor molecules of other bees to create uncollapsed odor molecule clusters, which will become the next generation of newborns. At this point, they have completed the important task of "reproduction" of the race.

The solidification of smell is a sign that the individual bee is evolving from a larva to an adult, and it is also the prerequisite for the bee to control smell.

“Before you can control smell, you must first become smell.”
