"Parasite Roll" has been struggling on the verge of death for several days. Other parasitic brains have felt that his brain waves are in a critical state, but there is nothing they can do. The parasitic brains did not see each other for the last time. Although they were concerned, they could only feel a little emotion when they paid attention to the brain waves of the "parasitic roll".
The brains were waiting anxiously, until one day, a parasitic flying insect brought a parasitic ant, and the brain waves of the brains communicated with each other more and more frequently.
The large worker ant of the parasitic big-headed ant that landed on the ground has an ordinary appearance - although there are fewer large worker ants among the parasitic big-headed ants, it is not without them - but there is an indescribable sense of majesty from her, which seems to only exist in the brain. Only the strongest parasitic brain can feel the same temperament.
"Parasite Wisdom II" has previously received news relayed from other parasitic brains. It knows that this is the messenger sent by the parasitic brain to rescue "Parasite Roll", but the other party only has one parasitic ant coming alone without any assistants. and supplies also made him suspicious.
The big parasitic worker ants ignored any doubts in their brainwaves, and went straight into the "Parasite Roll"'s chamber resolutely, and asked the ants responsible for closely caring for the "Parasite Roll" to prepare some supplies according to their instructions, and mobilized A few other parasitic ants were put on standby.
After "Parasite Wisdom II" agreed, the parasitic worker ant had full and unrestricted access to any parasitic organisms and materials in the nest. The parasites are extremely efficient and have no reason to disobey. Soon all the supplies and ants were mobilized, including some strange things.
The "parasitic roller" was quietly placed on a soft ball of ant silk, but the blood flowing out day after day had already soaked the ant silk and flowed to the ground. The ant silk and the ground were dyed, and the entire There was a fishy smell in the room. The parasitic worker ants directly asked them to replace the ant wire with new ones. The ant wire had to be smeared with saliva in advance to disinfect it. The blood-stained soil on the ground was dug out and transported away. Even the entire walls and floors of the house were licked and disinfected by the ants. .
The unconscious "Parasite Roll" had no idea what was happening around him. He was gently transferred to a new clean ball of ant silk. During this period, he was still bleeding, even though the parasitic worker ants took turns feeding him a highly nutritious paste. Food, but obviously no matter how nutritious it is, his body's own hematopoietic ability has long been unable to keep up with the rate of blood loss. If the blood flow had not increased and the blood pressure had lowered, reaching a balance between hematopoiesis and blood loss, he would have been able to persist until now unless it was A miracle happened. But no matter how long this low blood pressure continues, it will be enough to cause irreversible damage to his brain and body functions!
One by one, the parasitic big-headed ants were called forward in line. The parasitic big-headed worker ants asked two parasitic soldier ants to hold them down, and then used sharp obsidian fragments to make a small incision on the side of their abdomen, and then the hemolymph... The blood flowed out.
A worker ant that had been instructed to take care of the "parasitic roller" took a grooved plant stem and leaned over to catch the blood flowing out. The other end of the soft stem was inserted into the "parasitic roller" From a wound on the back, blood slowly flowed along the blood groove and slowly dripped into "Parasite Roll"'s body.
Blood transfusion, a very common treatment method in the human world, appears for the first time in this ant world.
The parasitic brains cannot understand such behavior at all, but it is obvious that the brain waves of the "parasitic roll" are not interrupted. Since they are not dead, let the messengers with the most powerful brains continue to toss... As for ordinary parasitic ants, there is no need to understand the profoundness of it. , just instinctively obeying the command.
Compared with humans, it is much simpler to give blood transfusions to ants. First of all, the blood of ants, whose scientific name is hemolymph, does not have blood types. This means that there is no need for blood type matching, and any ant can be picked as a blood donor without worrying about fatal blood type rejection. This time, the parasitic big worker ants were still being cautious. They only used ants from the big-headed ant family to supply blood, and did not mobilize ants from other ant families.
In addition, there are no blood vessels in the body of ants, so hemolymph can flow freely in the body, and the hemolymph does not carry oxygen, only nutrients. Oxygen is provided by the tracheal system that extends in all directions. Therefore, when transfusing blood, you don’t need to find the right blood vessel, you just need to pour the blood into the body - the prerequisite is not to pour it into the trachea, which will only make the recipient of the blood transfusion die faster...
Parasitic ants provide blood in a
After a certain period of time, the ant will leave the blood tank and lick the small bleeding hole by itself. The hemostatic effect of the ant's saliva can quickly close the wound and will not greatly affect the health of the blood donor, but a period of weakness for a few days is inevitable. of. There are enough blood donors lining up at the back, and each one can provide a little bit, which is enough to keep "Parasite Roll" alive for the time being.
However, if the problem of constant blood loss of "Parasite Roll" is not solved, blood transfusion alone can only treat the symptoms. After the blood transfusion is started, the bleeding volume of "Parasite Roll" will increase until a new equilibrium point is reached.
So while the parasitic worker ants completed a simple blood transfusion, the parasitic worker ants carefully inspected the "parasitic roll" wound and considered the subsequent surgical plan.
Even though I had already known that the "parasitic roll" was in bad condition through the information package, after seeing it with my own eyes, the tragic situation still made the parasitic worker ants feel very troublesome. Ordinary small wounds on the body have long since closed on their own and slowly healed under the influence of ant saliva. Now the main ones that are bleeding are three large wounds. Each wound is accompanied by the collapse of the outer carapace. Foreign matter penetrates deep into the body, and infection occurs near the wound. Rotting, even vaguely exposing internal organs...
The parasitic worker ants can only deal with the wounds one by one. They use their flexible mandibles to try to remove the carapace fragments and foreign objects embedded in the flesh. They use roasted obsidian blades to cut off the rotten muscle tissue bit by bit. Finally, they apply honey to the outside of the wounds. , the rest can only be left to fate.
"Parasite Roll" had a lot of tissue removed, and some internal organs also showed signs of damage. However, the parasitic worker ants did not dare to risk another organ transplant, so they could only cover them all with honey.
Cover it up and hope it heals on its own. Although if an organ transplant is really needed, donors can be found anywhere, and it is unclear whether these parasitic ants are willing or not, organ transplant surgery is no different from blood transfusion, and the difficulty is vastly different, and the parasitic worker ants do not dare to make independent decisions.
In any case, this first operation in the ant world is over. The patient's brain waves are weak but normal. He is not killed immediately, and he can only resign himself to his fate.
While the parasitic worker ant collapsed from exhaustion, Zhu Jue was also helped off an instrument in a distant place...
