The knowledge the protagonist has learned from his senior brother in the past ten days is divided into two parts. The first part is about the knowledge about the big-headed ant kingdom, which has been described before. The second part is the skills that the king (male ant) must master.
The content of the second part is very helpful to the protagonist. As an ant who has been reincarnated from humans, the protagonist does not understand many of the necessary skills imprinted in ant genes, and uses the experience and habits of the human world to harden It also caused a lot of jokes and inconvenience when it was put on the ant's body. Although the protagonist has mastered basic communication and command abilities through learning and exploration when he was in the deputy nest, this is far from enough to support his needs to survive in this world.
Studying with the senior brother this time has made up for the protagonist's current weaknesses to a large extent. It is also an introductory course for the protagonist to systematically understand the rules and mysteries of the ant world.
For example, the use and identification of ant pheromones, the most basic physiological ability of ants, was previously blank for the protagonist. If the protagonist unfortunately encounters a hostile ant just after traveling through time, the protagonist may be attacked before he knows it is an enemy, and he will die without even knowing why.
There are many types of ants' pheromones and they have many different uses. One of the most important functions is to identify one's identity. All ants belonging to the Big-headed Ant Empire have the same part of the gene. The body odor given by this part of the gene is the most basic pheromone, which allows strangers in different nests to recognize that they are companions.
The different environments of different nests will also give the ants in this nest a unique smell. Ants who have received this knowledge can easily determine which sub-nest the other side comes from. Previously, as soon as Lao Wang came into contact with the protagonist, he pointed out that the protagonist came from the "Dongyang City Vice Nest" and relied on identifying this smell. The senior brother also transmitted the scent packets of the 405 main and deputy nests across the country to the protagonist. This is a great convenience for ants in learning. Otherwise, it would be a fantasy to rely on forced memory to distinguish more than 400 different smells like the human brain does. After being taught by his senior brother, the protagonist can easily identify the nest where strange ants belong.
In addition, all male ants can also secrete their own information smell through glands near the vagina. The smell of each king is unique, and the king's subordinates will also be contaminated with this smell intentionally or unintentionally. As long as the kings have met each other, they will store each other's information in their minds, so that they can accurately judge the next time they meet. On the one hand, this kind of pheromone can help determine which nest an ant comes from. On the other hand, in large-scale battles, the king and his subordinates can rely on the smell of information to determine the command relationship, and will not mistakenly follow other kings. command. The protagonist also quickly learned how to secrete exclusive pheromones, which are released through the vagina. Ants urinate and defecate through a single vagina. The protagonist feels that this method of secreting pheromones is a bit like how humans control urination. The method is easy to get started.
In addition to being used to identify identities, pheromones can also play a role in marking routes. Combined with the way ants rely on vision to determine position reference objects, they form the ants' navigation system. Worker ants and soldier ants smear pheromones secreted from their vaginas on the ground, which can last from several hours to several days depending on the amount of smear. They are mainly used to mark their route in unfamiliar areas to facilitate their return to the nest. The pheromones secreted by male ants can last up to eight or nine months and are used to mark the expressway to the main nest or secondary nest to facilitate transportation between nests.
In addition, the protagonist also systematically learned how male ants command their subordinates. One is direct communication between tentacles, which can transmit complex instructions to the other party in the form of information packets. For example, after the protagonist has conceived a four-bedroom house, he orders his subordinates to construct it using this method. The disadvantage is that he can only give orders to one object at a time. . The second is the messenger method. One or more messengers can be designated to deliver instruction information packets to multiple objects. The speed is faster than giving orders face-to-face in person. It can be used for communication between kings of different legions on the battlefield, but It is possible that the message transmission failed due to an accident of the messenger. The third method is to use a special medium of white pebbles to achieve group chat among multiple ants. This protagonist has seen it during Lao Wang’s lectures and meetings with Five Hundred Kings. The advantages are obvious, and the disadvantages are equally obvious - it must be impossible to move. medium. The last one is the group command technique that the protagonist has explored before. By releasing pheromones and making friction sounds, different signal combinations are formed, which can send eight simple signals to nearby subordinates or partners: alert, attack immediately, hold tight Follow the leader, promote berserk, disarm, retreat, ask for help, keep distance; the first six signals have been figured out by the protagonist by controlling his subordinates, while the latter two signals are limited to male ants, and the protagonist has not understood them before.
After learning the basic knowledge and skills, the protagonist became curious about his identity as the Divine Envoy King.
The eldest brother tells the protagonist based on the information passed down by the oldest king in the past: From the beginning of the establishment of the Big-headed Ant Empire, the ants have known about the existence of God, but God has rarely given instructions on the daily behavior of the ants. It was not until the period of the 42nd Lao King that the big-headed ants, who were almost hunted down by the pavement ant barbarians, suddenly received a divine decree from God. Then the ants followed the instructions and discovered natural fire, and learned to preserve fire for a long time. After that, the Big-headed Ant Kingdom gradually completed its counterattack in the war against the Pavement Ant Barbarians. After receiving the divine decree, the oldest king of this term and the king who first discovered fire were both called the God Envoy King, and were considered to be the kings who could lead the big-headed ant army to victory. At the same time, the ants built a sacred passage to receive divine decrees again. A divine envoy king (the oldest king) receives divine decrees all year round in the sacred passage and the nest at the end of the fire nest. The envoy king (the king who first discovered the fire) led the troops in battle and won consecutive battles.
After that, the successive eldest kings were able to receive divine decrees from time to time through the sacred channels, but they were all incomprehensible, noisy and meaningless signals.
Until a while ago, the current eldest king received a clear divine decree that the divine messenger would come. Then the public security king brought a young king who had never been to the main nest but claimed to know fire to the main nest. The oldest king firmly believed He is the God-Emissary King who has come again. Since ants naturally do not lie to their companions, no one questioned the protagonist's words and deeds during the discussion at the King's Meeting. After intense discussion, the King's Meeting recognized the identity of the protagonist, the God Envoy King. This is the detailed story of how the protagonist suddenly became the King of Gods, which was confusing before. Although the eldest brother did not attend the king's meeting, he already knew the whole process from the oldest king afterwards.
After listening, the protagonist finally understood.
