At the meeting, the protagonist expressed his thoughts directly to the participating ants, and as expected, it caused an uproar.
Even the smartest ants in the Ant Alliance, limited by their knowledge and thinking, never thought that this would be the goal.
But everyone showed good obedience and collectivism as ants. When the God Envoy King they respected and relied on stated the goal, it was the order second only to "God's Will", and each ant made their own speeches around the hypothetical goal. Got the view.
As expected, many protagonists have also thought about the opinions of the ants participating in the meeting, and everyone has a relatively consistent view. If we really do this, we will face many problems, and some losses are unbearable for the ant alliance at this stage.
The result of the meeting was that the protagonist unified the thinking of the top management, said that this goal should not be rushed, and would not be implemented for the time being. He told everyone to keep it secret, but to be mentally prepared for future implementation.
————
After the protagonist and his party completed the investigation of the area near the lower reaches of Qinghe River, the Ant Alliance entered a peak period of construction.
After being unable to develop large-scale development to the lower reaches of the Qinghe River, except for a few troops and colonization teams, they began an early swamp development operation. This operation was under the responsibility of "Rambo Fei II", and all the power of the Ant Alliance was used in the current situation. There is potential within the territory.
In fact, with the current 15-square-kilometer territory of the Ant Alliance, if it is developed properly and relying on the Ant Alliance's advanced agricultural production capabilities, it will not be a problem to support tens of millions of ant colonies.
But it’s not without reason that the protagonist is still obsessed with external expansion.
In addition to the war with the Destroyer that is bound to break out in the future, which will require a larger territory, richer resources, and more ant colonies, he is also worried that if he is just satisfied with the existing territory, the Ant Alliance will fall into involution sooner or later. change.
Yes, if the territory does not increase, the resources do not increase, and science and technology do not advance, but the number of ant colonies simply increases, it will continue to encroach on the resources that should be used for external expansion and internal development, and then fall into a vicious cycle until it enters an irreversible involution trend. .
Maybe by then, the Ant United Kingdom will have tens of millions of ant colonies but no longer have the ability to make progress. That will be a slow death. And using an involutional force to deal with the Destroyer will sooner or later lead to destruction!
As a time traveler, even if he has adapted to this world and is accustomed to the current situation of this world, the Ant Alliance has become the most advanced force in the known range under his control. But the protagonist can still clearly realize that the current Ant Alliance, including the entire ant world, is too primitive.
The ant civilization in this world is basically at the technological level of the Stone Age. The Ant Alliance will also enter the metal age. There are still many shortcomings. It cannot reach the ideal appearance of the protagonist at all. It is not even possible to realize this ideal ant country. Where is the way.
The protagonist obviously has the development trajectory of civilization in the human world in his mind, but because of the huge physiological differences between ants and humans, much of his knowledge cannot be transformed into usable productivity.
In addition, the territory of the Ant Alliance is not large, and many of the resources needed for the development of civilization are not complete. They lack copper mines, coal mines, natural medicine resources, and too many things.
Therefore, the scientific and technological progress of the Ant Alliance has now become very slow, and the productivity improvement brought about by scientific and technological progress is not significant. In this context, simply tapping the potential of the existing territory will sooner or later enter the trajectory of involution.
For example, in the Scientific Research Department, many important research groups now have research bottlenecks. Even if the protagonist takes the time to intervene and provide guidance, it is difficult to make progress. Because the protagonist himself doesn’t know how to break through.
For example, there is a mysterious research group within the Scientific Research Department, which is directly subordinate to the God Envoy King. Even the Minister of Scientific Research, "Secretary II", has no right to intervene in the research of the most confidential scientific research projects.
This research team is responsible for studying the related fields of divine soldier ants, divine worker ants, and even the undiscovered divine male ants and divine queen ants.
The protagonist's genes were once given to a selected queen ant, and the ant eggs laid by this queen eventually developed into magical worker ants and magical soldier ants with much stronger physiological foundations than ordinary worker ants and soldier ants.
This team is responsible for tracking the developmental changes of this special ant egg, studying how it produces changes in outstanding ants that are different from other ants, and at what stage the mutation occurs.
However, the current research results only show that the appearance of the eggs of divine worker ants and divine soldier ants is no different from the eggs of ordinary worker ants. Except for the slightly larger size of the young ants, the difference is very small. The main difference should be derived from the pupae. Apart from the changes, this group has achieved nothing else.
They have no observational means to monitor the complex changes occurring inside the ant pupae, nor are they allowed to dissect the evolving ant pupae - doing so would violate the basic ethics of ant civilization, and would also deeply offend the class of magical soldier ants and magical worker ants. The protagonist He didn't dare to give such an order easily, not to mention that he had never thought of dissecting his own offspring at the genetic level.
Another research direction of this team is to decipher why the queen ant who has been "gifted by God" can lay eggs of magical workers and soldier ants, but the eggs of male and female ants are ordinary eggs, even Without the ability to hatch, naturally the so-called male ants and queen ants cannot be born.
Refer to the vision, strength, agility, IQ and loyalty of the divine soldier ants and divine worker ants. The protagonist was originally looking forward to the Divine Male Ant and the Divine Queen Ant, but unfortunately, the scientific research team found nothing in this research.
Not only this scientific research group, but the research of many groups within the Scientific Research Department has stalled. That is to say, the God Envoy King still supports them and agrees to allocate a large amount of materials every week to continue to support research.
Otherwise, with the stingy professionalism of the Finance Minister "Xiao Sheng", they would have been cut off long ago.
These studies that have made no progress include research on how to improve the explosion of mysterious liquids, research on fluorescent bacteria extracts and the composition of mysterious liquids, research on improving the output and quality of blast furnace ironmaking, research on improving torsion ballistae, and research on beetle hatching. Research on increasing the domestication rate, research on domesticating other insects, research on the positioning of long-distance underground tunnel excavation, research on new anti-aircraft weapons, research on nest defense against explosions, research on new water platforms, research on hybridization between closely related ant races, and parasitic fungi Further research on the use of pyrethrum, etc.
Many research projects have had high hopes from the protagonists, only to be met with disappointment. The protagonist can only choose to believe in these great worker ants and magical worker ant researchers, and support them as always.
In order to avoid involution caused by technological stagnation and resource ceiling, the protagonist can only continue to expand and promote the qualitative change of the Ant Alliance through quantitative changes in territory and ant colonies.
