When the representative of the leaf-cutter ant nation, a hobbling queen ant, was supported by two leaf-cutter ants, she entered the conference room. All the representatives of the ant clan stood up, and the antennae on their heads drooped slightly. Salute.
The leafcutter ant workers took the opportunity to immediately remove the excess ant silk mats, and then arranged the 12 specially left ant silk mats in a circle in the middle of the conference room, which were used by the representatives attending the meeting.
The leafcutter ant queen frequently nodded her antennae in greeting to the surrounding representatives, and was the first to lie down on the mat while being supported.
The protagonist learns from the leafcutter ant guide that this is the oldest queen in the queen ant conference, and attending this meeting in person shows that the leafcutter ant country attaches great importance to it.
The leaf-cutting ant nation's queen ant conference has already made a decision. It doesn't matter who is sent to attend the meeting. This time, she is sent to the meeting with the most seniority, which shows the attitude of the leaf-cutting ant nation.
Representatives of other ant clans are generally ants with high status in the highest authority of the clan, but they cannot be compared with the status of this leaf-cutting ant queen in the country.
The right to speak at the meeting had been decided before the meeting, and the Leafcutter Ant Nation seized it without hesitation.
After the leafcutter ant queen lay down, the other representatives sat down one after another with their tentacles touching the ground.
The position assigned to the protagonist is in the circle facing the leaf-cutting ant queen. If according to human habits, the leaf-cutting ant queen is the main seat and the top seat, then the protagonist's seat is the guest seat and the bottom seat.
The protagonist knows what the leaf-cutting ants mean, and it is not that they want to give themselves a blow or embarrass themselves like humans. This time is the meeting of the God Envoy King Legion being accepted into the Ancient God Heritage Alliance. Naturally, it should be in this appropriate position.
When the protagonist lay down and all the representatives touched the ground with their tentacles, the female leafcutter ant responsible for maintaining the order of the meeting drove the other ants to the edge of the conference room with her guards, and strictly inspected the ants who dared to secretly touch the ground with their tentacles.
Generally, no ants would dare to interfere with the meeting.
The meeting officially begins!
————
At the beginning, the leafcutter ant queen introduced the situation: they had recently discovered the ant tribe inherited from the Thunder God, and wanted to bring it into the alliance. They invited all the ant tribes inherited from the ancient gods in this contact tree area to come for review.
The leafcutter ant queen also showed the information package about the angel king's army releasing thunder in [Hematite City].
From the leafcutter ant's perspective, delegates saw fleeting flashes of light and thunderous sounds.
The representatives expressed their opinions to each other. Except for the protagonist and the leaf-cutting ant queen, who did not need to express their opinions, the other representatives all recognized that this was indeed a miracle inherited by the God of Thunder.
Later, other representatives expressed the need to verify the talismans of the Divine Envoy King's legion.
The protagonist had previously shown the Leafcutter Ant Nation the lightning talisman he had made up, and the other party recognized it and said it was a big thunder talisman. Only then did the protagonist learn that there was also a small thunder talisman that looked like a firecracker.
The protagonist once again displayed the lightning talisman and was recognized.
The male ant representative of the completely different blind leaf-cutting ants even said that only the leaf-cutting ant nation and the bullet ant tribe have the longest inheritance and know the most talismans. If they two tribes recognize it, there will be no problem.
This revealed some information.
After verifying the miracles and talismans, and all 11 ant tribes agreed, the Leafcutter Ant Queen announced that she would accept the God Envoy King Legion as the 12th ant tribe member of the 23rd Liaison Tree of the Ancient God Heritage Alliance.
Of course, according to the hexadecimal counting expression of the ants, it should be: accepting the Angel King Legion as the "2nd 6" ant member of the "3rd 6 and 5" contact tree.
The protagonist felt that he had discovered something very important, and quickly asked what the "Contact Tree" was.
The leafcutter ant queen said: Many ant clans inherited by the ancient gods have lost some history and knowledge. As the guardians of the contact tree, their clan has a relatively complete inheritance and knows the inside story.
After explanation, it turns out that the so-called contact trees are some ancient trees. They are the contact center for all ant tribes inheriting the ancient gods in a region. They all have ant tribe guards who have guarded these sacred trees for generations in ancient times. These ant tribes are generally from various ant tribes. Leafcutter ants, or other species of forest-dwelling ants.
There are about 1.3 million contact trees in the world, which is "13 times 6 times 6" (6 to the 13th power) contact trees. All ancient god inheritance ant tribes should hold meetings at the local contact tree every 6 years. A meeting to discuss major matters of the alliance.
If there are other important matters that require a meeting, an additional meeting can be held and convened by the guard ants in the contact tree. Just like this time, the Leafcutter Ant Nation called everyone together to discuss the Envoy King's Legion joining the alliance.
The protagonist calculated in his heart. If the contact area of every contact tree is the same as here, which is equivalent to a radius of 6 kilometers in the human world and an area of about 100 square kilometers, then it can be estimated that there are more than 1.3 million contact trees in the world. The total land area of the world is approximately 130 million square kilometers.
Considering that the areas between some contact trees may overlap, and some desert mountains will not have trees, if we need to reduce some area, the total land area of the ant world should be about 100 million square kilometers.
The protagonist remembers that in his previous life, the land area of the earth was more than 140 million square kilometers, and the land area of the ant world was much smaller in comparison.
There are some previous discoveries, and the protagonist firmly believes that this is the future Earth. So this future world has obviously experienced a wave of sea level rise. I wonder if this is the reason for the demise of human civilization.
If each contact tree has about 10 ant clans inherited from the ancient gods, then there are actually as many as 13 million ant clans inherited from the ancient gods. These ant tribes previously considered each other to be civilized countries.
According to the additions of other representatives, those who do not believe in the ancient gods, have no inheritance or have lost their inheritance are called barbaric ants, and their number is hundreds of times and thousands of times the number of civilized ants.
Speaking of which, these representatives of the ant tribe seem to like to call other non-civilized ant tribes barbaric ants, which is exactly the same as the former Big-headed Ant Kingdom calling the country of Pavement Ants a barbarian country.
When I think about it, the main nest of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom [Qingqiu City] actually has a fire, although it is not like the Black Fire Ant Clan here, which is the descendant of the God of Fire, and they use it to burn coarse pottery and make barbecues.
But from the looks of it, the Big-headed Ant Kingdom is probably also a country with the inheritance of the God of Fire. It may be due to the fact that the barbarian kingdom of paving ants was almost wiped out in a wave very early. The original main nest and a large number of male ants with inheritance memories died, and the inheritance was lost.
Doesn’t the Big-headed Ant Kingdom still have the title of the oldest king, who can listen to the “divine decree” through the sacred channel? Is their god the so-called God of Fire?
The more the protagonist thought about it, the more he thought it was. He hurriedly asked, using the example he knew of an ant tribe such as the Big-headed Ant Kingdom, and asked if they were the descendants of the Vulcan.
The queen of leafcutter ants and the representative of bullet ants, an old unmarried female ant, communicated on the ground public channel.
They replied: This ant clan should have lost its inheritance. It has a sacred fire but no magic talisman. If they can't retrieve the talisman and inherited memory, they may even lose the sacred fire and completely become savage ants.
