I haven’t recovered from my illness yet, so I’ll update it today, sorry??
——I am the dividing line——
After the military scenes, what appeared in front of the Queen was the civilian scenes in the information package.
It shows large groups of yellow mealworms writhing in the farm, plant stems covered with tender green aphids, and dense wild vegetables filled with abundant seeds. This all shows the wealth of this barbarian leader's territory.
And in the numerous ant colonies, each ant shows a well-nourished body, which is further evidence of this wealth. At least the queen knows that even when her tribe is at its strongest, it is impossible for every member to have enough to eat and drink, and the queen and male ants do not care about the quality of life of the lowly worker ants.
The prosperity displayed by the protagonist's territory was beyond the queen's expectation, and she couldn't help but question its authenticity.
In the protagonist's impression, ants do not lie. If they don't want to say anything, they will refuse to answer.
But the queen knows that the ant world is also full of intrigues, which is not uncommon in the history of "survivors".
Just like the human world, the more civilized a society is, the more competition it has. Participants need to use all means to fight for or protect their own interests, including lies and tricks. However, relatively primitive places that are not fully exposed to the outside world are often evaluated as having "simple folk customs".
The Queen quickly browsed through the information package and came to the conclusion that the protagonist's military strength was very strong, with numerous ant colonies, abundant food, and the application of some new technologies.
This greatly changed the Queen's impression of the protagonist, the leader of a barbaric tribe. At least the new technology was something that could not be imagined by an ant lying. It should be true. The Queen is very interested in these new technologies.
After the queen read the information package and expressed her gratitude, the protagonist immediately made a request, hoping to also see the situation in the queen's territory.
This is exactly the purpose of the protagonist. He has already disclosed the information about his territory in a friendly manner. It is not rude to come back and forth, and the queen is embarrassed to refuse the protagonist's suggestion.
But the queen is in a bit of a dilemma. The protagonist has strong military strength and doesn't care about exposing her existence. But the "remnants" of the big-headed ants are now very weak, and the queen is worried that once the leader of the barbaric tribe in front of her knows the reality of her territory, it will arouse the covetousness of the other party. The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of possessing the jade. There are still some good things passed down from the ancestors in the queen's territory.
But after seeing the military strength of the barbarian tribe, the queen became cautious and was unwilling to offend the barbarian leader for fear of his moodiness.
So the queen bit her jaw and told the protagonist that she could let the protagonist watch the scene of her family in the previous world.
The queen hoped that the extremely powerful and developed scene of her tribe at that time could shock the barbarian leaders in front of her and dispel their undue thoughts.
The protagonist, however, has been asking for it. He has long wanted to know about the situation in the so-called civilized world. It would be best if the queen herself brings the relevant information to his door.
The queen's information packet was quickly passed to the protagonist, who read it carefully.
At the beginning, the Queen confessed that this was a scene from the era of the previous Queen.
As the blackness in front of him was replaced by light, the protagonist witnessed a shocking scene from a first-person perspective:
In front of us, countless towering ant mounds appeared. Each tower ant mound looked like a skyscraper with hundreds of floors in the human world.
These tower-type ant mounds are gathered together. The main ant mound with a lower base is as huge as a mountain, and the towering spire reaches straight into the sky. From the perspective of the protagonist, this ant castle is like a Disney castle that has been enlarged countless times, or a Hollywood castle. Gwarts Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
This level of architecture is definitely not comparable to nests built based on the original terrain such as "Qingqiu City" or "Stone Pillar City", nor is it as small as the fortress built by the protagonist. According to the protagonist's estimation, it would take at least a million ants to work for a year to build such a huge project.
Just from this magnificent castle, you can get a glimpse of the strong national power and advanced technology and craftsmanship of the "legacy".
Turning the perspective closer, I saw that the huge flattened square under the castle was densely packed with military formations.
The military formation was grand, mighty and orderly.
There are also a large number of beetles mixed in these military formations, including huge stag beetles and horned beetles, as well as small and medium-sized scarabs and other beetles.
The protagonist pauses the information package and carefully observes these military formations.
After some pondering, the protagonist discovered that these military formations were different.
All military formations are built around a beetle, which is obviously the core of the military power of the "legacy" of the big-headed ants.
Just like in China's Spring and Autumn Period, infantry fought around chariots. A chariot is a basic military unit, called a "one ride". It consists of a chariot, three warriors fighting on the chariot and seventy soldiers. It consists of two infantrymen and a number of logistics personnel. And "Cheng" has become the embodiment of the country's military power. There are "the kingdom of thousands of chariots" and "the kingdom of ten thousand chariots".
And beetles, especially giant beetles, can be even more powerful than chariots in the world of ants. At least the impact of these beetles is not inferior to that of tanks of the same size, and they can climb over complex terrain.
The military formation surrounding the stag beetles and rhinoceros beetles is closer to the observers of the information package video, and is located at the front and core of the entire square. And these military formations are obviously more elite, with more soldiers and a higher proportion of soldier ants.
The formations of small and medium-sized beetles appear scattered, distributed on the wings or rear of the formation.
For example, in a stag beetle military formation, there is a male ant commander and ten soldier ants on the back of the stag beetle alone, and two worker ants serve as drivers. Next to the stag beetle, there are also a small number of infantry troops composed of soldier ants and worker ants. The number of ants in the entire military formation is close to one hundred.
This proves that the average IQ of the male ant commanders of the Big-headed Ant "legacy" is higher than that of the indigenous ants on both sides of the river. The protagonist knows that whether it is the Big-headed Ant Kingdom or the Pavement Ant Barbarian Tribe, if most male ants are allowed to command more than fifty His subordinates are incompetent in terms of adaptability, processing ability and mathematical ability. Only a few smart male ants can command more subordinates. This is why the basic military unit of both countries, the squad, is composed of fifty soldiers.
Except for giant beetles, large beetle formations usually have fifty warriors, and medium beetle formations have about twenty warriors. Many small beetles are not accompanied by infantry, and only have a small number of ants on the back of the beetle, including commanders, drivers and warriors.
It seems that during the period when the "legacy" of the big-headed ant was powerful, these large and small military formations surrounding the beetles were the core of its military strength.
