After talking about eating and drinking, it is natural to inevitably talk about urinating. Although it is indecent, it is also a necessary behavior for living creatures, and its importance is even less than eating and drinking.
The protagonist used to dig a simple nest room opposite his living room as a toilet. At that time, he had to keep everything simple. Now, he has built a more "luxurious" bathroom in his bedroom.
The bathroom is located diagonally opposite the door of the main character's room. There are two bathrooms, one large and one small.
The big one is for the protagonist's bodyguards and attendants, etc., to prevent these ants who are close to the protagonist from always going to the public restrooms with poor hygiene to defecate and then rub back any germs or dirt.
The small bathroom is exclusive to the protagonist.
There is a branch above the door of the small bathroom, and the branches are tied with neat and drooping ant wires. These ant wires form a curtain to separate the inside and outside sight and prevent the protagonist from being in public. After all, ants come and go in the courtyard, and ants pass by from time to time.
The space inside is not large, so it can only accommodate the protagonist turning around. A long and narrow pit was dug on the ground, similar to a squatting pit in the human world, and was a convenient location for the protagonist.
Whenever the protagonist feels comfortable, there will be two full-time worker ants responsible for cleaning up the filth. Of course, these two worker ants cannot serve the protagonist's diet and daily life, nor can they enter the protagonist's room. They are two "dung" ants. slave". Fortunately, these worker ants are not aware of the protagonist's contempt. They still regard it as an honor to serve the God Envoy King and do their best.
Beside the squatting pit, there is a stack of semi-dried, soft leaves cut into appropriate sizes on a small stone. This is a substitute for toilet paper. In fact, the excrement of ants is very dry and generally does not leave any dirt in the anus, but the protagonist is still used to wiping it.
There is also a water reservoir and a pottery basin. The protagonist can pour a drop of water out to clean it, and then there will naturally be dung slave worker ants responsible for picking up the waste water with their big jaws and throwing it outside, and then refilling the water reservoir.
——I am the dividing line——
The line of sight continues back to the protagonist's room.
Leave the restaurant and enter the innermost room, which is the protagonist's bedroom.
There is only one bed in the bedroom. Unlike before where the protagonist simply slept on a ball of compacted silk wadding, this bed has obvious traces of processing.
Some branches, which can be called thick logs for ants, were stripped of bark and tied into a square frame with ant silk and ant glue. The upper and lower sides of the frame were covered with whole insect skins and filled with various kinds of insects. Silk fiber, similar to the structure of a leather stool.
The protagonist sleeps on this soft bed to rest.
Generally speaking, the living conditions of the protagonist are much better than those of ordinary ants. Even the traditional ant aristocrats-the king, king and queen cannot match the enjoyment of the protagonist.
However, the protagonist is still not satisfied. He is waiting for the team sent to the Big-headed Ant survivors to come back. That team is responsible for receiving information packages from the Big-headed Ant survivors on fermentation, textile and other technologies, and returning them to the scientific research team for study.
With the new technology, the protagonist believes that his life can go to a higher level.
For example, fermentation technology can completely create new foods and beverages based on existing technologies.
There are many types of fermented foods for human consumption. Fermented foods can usually be divided into five categories: alcoholic beverages, such as distilled wine, rice wine, fruit wine, beer, etc.; dairy products, such as yogurt, sour cream, kumiss, cheese, etc.; soy products Types, such as tofu, tempeh, natto, etc.; fermented vegetables, such as kimchi, sauerkraut, etc.; condiments, such as vinegar, soy sauce, soy sauce, MSG, etc.
Thinking of these food names, the protagonist feels an increase in salivation.
And textiles are also very useful technologies. The Divine Envoy King's army does not yet know how to weave. They can only use ant silk to bind them or make soft silk beds for young ants and ant nobles to rest.
When the protagonist was fighting in "Linshui City", he made a simple ant silk felt because he needed to go out in the winter.
Feltmaking is a simpler and more primitive technology than textiles. It is a sheet made of wool, silk and other fibers. Felt has not gone through the process of spinning, twisting and weaving. It is called non-woven fabric in textile science. Its appearance is much earlier than any wool fabric. In ancient my country, felting was made by washing wool or animal hair, scalding it with boiling water, rubbing it to make it adhere, and then spreading it on hard-tailed couplets, straw curtains, or wooden boards, and pressing it with rods.
The protagonist made the simple silk felt in a similar way, and the silk felt became the protagonist's weapon to keep out the cold and wind in the cold winter. Unfortunately, the protagonist knew the principles of felt making, but did not understand the specific techniques. By the beginning of spring, the silk felt he made fell apart due to poor craftsmanship and could no longer be used.
The protagonist has been urging Xiao Mi’s scientific research team to study and improve felt-making technology and strive to use the fabric as soon as possible. The textile technology of the Big-headed Ant survivors seems to be more advanced.
Once textiles can be obtained through weaving or felting, the protagonist can use these textiles to make many things, including sheets, clothing, wrapping cloth, etc., which are still very useful.
——I am the dividing line——
The protagonist seems to be born with a busy life, and it is difficult for him to completely relax and enjoy himself.
Just after talking about life and eating, a troublesome thing related to eating came to the protagonist.
The topic returns to salt. Salt is an important condiment and an essential substance for living things. There is no need to go into details.
Almost all the salt in the Big-headed Ant Kingdom comes from the salt marshes near the "Salt City", although there was a shortage of salt some time ago due to the war of reconquest, floods, and the proliferation of fierce insects.
But the protagonist just took this opportunity to make up his mind, and through the exchange of interests, he exchanged the actual control of "Yan City" from the King's Conference of "Qingqiu City".
The protagonist then sent Tuzi to lead a small group of ants and stationed them in the "Salt City".
Tuzi, Huzi, and Gardenia are all male ants of the new generation. They are also the younger generation of the King of Divine Envoys who have performed well, and have received guidance from the protagonist.
Their mission is not to control the "Salt City", but to provide more salt for the protagonist's territory.
After being satisfied with the salt, the protagonist temporarily lost interest in this place because the coarse salt contained too many impurities. Because most other ant races also have their own salt mine resources, the protagonist's initial idea of using salt to balance other forces came to nothing.
For the Big-headed Ant Kingdom, "Salt City" is the only salt mine, but the protagonist has no plans to break up with the annoying kings of "Qingqiu City" in the short term, so the power of the God Envoy King here in "Salt City" It's just a casual move, it's not useful yet.
But just now, a messenger from "Yancheng" said that something terrible happened there and that the support of the main army was urgently needed.
