Night shift tonight, one more chapter, catch up on sleep tomorrow

Recently, the focus of the Ant Alliance's external struggle has been on competing with the Black Fire Ant Nation and the Leafcutter Ant Nation for the right to speak within the civilized ant tribe.
There are discords among the three parties, but the military conflicts have temporarily subsided, and for the time being they are mainly civil fights. These conflicts have not set off a bigger trend among the civilized ant tribe.
Within the Ant Alliance, Zhu Jue, who had regained some of his human memories, started a series of new actions internally.
It turns out that Zhu Jue only retained a small part of his human memory. When he first traveled to this ant world, he enthusiastically used his remaining knowledge to transform the big-headed ant community, and eventually established the God Envoy King Army and the Ant Alliance. .
But as the knowledge reserve in his mind was exhausted and he was gradually assimilated into the world, he lost the freshness of innovation. Zhu Jue, who couldn't even remember his name, gradually took over the ant nature in his heart, and his humanity was suppressed.
If this goes on for a long time, he will probably disappear into the crowd of ants, which will make even a "flying eagle" miserable.
The progress of the Ant Alliance has also gradually slowed down. They are following a technological path that is different from other ant clans. They have no mature experience to draw from and have to explore entirely on their own. When the leader stands still, technology will no longer advance and it will fall into a dead end.
Fortunately, for some unknown reason, Zhu Jue not only recalled his own name after a rare serious illness, but also gained a lot of knowledge about the world in his mind.
Zhu Jue's human identity in his previous life must have some connection with this world of ant civilization. He is eager to return to the swamp occupied by the parasitic bacteria, where there will be clues and perhaps answers.
But the forces of parasitic bacteria are not easy to deal with. Their origins are a mystery and they are spread all over the dark corners of the world. Even this one in the swamp is now far more powerful than when the Angel King's army first encountered it. In a short period of time, it completely eroded the warriors of the God Envoy King who came here on the expedition.
Zhu Jue also needs to make the Ant Alliance a step further in science and technology. Only in this way can this special ant force with the imprint of human civilization become stronger and better execute the protagonist's will.
Fortunately, the memory Zhu Jue recovered this time contained a lot of useful knowledge.
It is not just a routine of using Crow Wine to seize massive resources in the international trade center, weaken potential opponents, and control noble ants, nor is it just a small trick of using the Colosseum and gambling to enhance prestige and earn profits.
Zhu Jue has been staying with the scientific research team recently, focusing on a major study - the study of ant reproduction...
————
Zhu Jue read the information about this experiment from the information packet submitted by "Secretary II" personally:
After a period of incubation, of the 24 eggs of the experimental subject, 17 hatched, 5 died, and 2 were overdue for hatching.
Among the 5 pieces that died, 4 pieces were from the same group, and these two groups need to continue the experiment in the next batch.
The hatched ant eggs were heavy. One group could not be compared because the control group died. Seven groups were exactly the same as the control group, so the experiment could be considered a failure.
But the ants hatched from the experimental ant eggs in the remaining group made Zhu Jue smile knowingly - it was a worm-like larvae with a light golden color all over its body - the larvae of a pavement ant!
However, what hatched from the ant eggs in the control group was an ordinary white pavement ant larvae...

Ant United Kingdom, on the north bank of Qinghe River, near the woods.
This is the territory of the former red fire ant kingdom. The leaf-cutter ant kingdom finally captured it after a difficult battle, but it was captured by the pavement ant empire the following year.
After changing hands several times, the city was finally occupied by the United Ant Nation, who took advantage of the Leafcutter Ant Nation's lack of food and exchanged a certain amount of military rations for the Leafcutter Ant Nation's transfer of possession of the city.
Because this sub-nest is adjacent to the largest forest in the Ant Alliance, this forest is actually the same forest as the native sacred forest in the Leafcutter Ant Kingdom, but is separated by a small and fast stream. Because of the terrain, this is also a suitable venue for forest warfare training.
Today, the divine envoy Wang Zhujue flew here in person, preparing to witness the birth of a new military unit.
When the bee vehicle of the God Envoy King rose into the air and hovered in the air, the flight team hidden in the shadow of the trees received the takeoff instructions conveyed by the flying knight in the flight path.
Only 12 giant dragonflies were seen fluttering their wings and taking off, and the harsh "buzzing" sound spread rapidly in a small area.
These 12 giant dragonflies approached Zhu Jue's position. Zhu Jue drove "Ahuang" and followed behind the flying team. A team of flying knights were responsible for covering the giant dragonfly in groups around and above it.
From a close distance, you can see that in addition to the large worker ant driver, there is also a saddle on the back of the giant dragonfly. The saddles on the backs of these giant dragonflies are similar to those of their counterparts responsible for air transport. They are both large wooden frames, but there are no bundled goods inside, but ants.
These ants are not the large-headed ants, pavement ants, leaf-cutting ants, burrowing ants or sickle-hunting ants that are abundant in the Ant Alliance, nor are they the common ants or red forest ants in the secondary nests in the woods, but A new group of ants have just joined the Ant Alliance - black-clothed turtle ants!
These black-clothed turtle ants are the offspring of the queen ant eggs they found in the swamp woods on the south bank of the Qinghe River. They are not many in number, only about a thousand at present, and they mainly live in one area.
After selection, 150 turtles and ants in black were incorporated into the newly established airborne force and arrived here all the way for training.
The black turtle ants were ready for airborne landing in the saddle on the back of the giant dragonfly. As the giant dragonfly lowered its height, reaching approximately below the canopy level, the black turtle ants, who received the order to attack, began to attack one by one. Just jumped off the back of the giant dragonfly.
Zhu Jue watched as these black turtle ants, with the bonus of racial talents, about 90% landed on the target circles drawn by three red hematite powders on the ground and tree trunks. The first airborne landing was successful!
Zhu Jue had imagined the ant airborne tactic before regaining his memory this time. However, considering the serious shortage of aerial beasts in the Ant Alliance, the number of beasts that can be provided to the airborne troops can only carry a few hundred ants, which is the limit. These ants want to To play a greater role, they can only take the route of elite soldiers and perform important tasks such as beheadings, raids, and breaking diplomatic relations.
The God Envoy King Legion had tried before, but the ant warriors at that time were unable to perform airborne missions. They would be very scattered if they jumped one meter above the ground, making it difficult to gather and organize quickly. If the giant dragonfly is allowed to land and drop the airborne warriors, the giant dragonfly will be put in danger.
But the arrival of the black turtle ants who are naturally good at gliding made up for the final shortcoming of the airborne troops!
