Surreal Games: I’m An Engineer

That evening, the focus will be on the study of flame ants and brain-eating worms.

After such a long period of growth, the flame ant colony has begun to gradually differentiate, male ants and female ants have appeared, and soldier ants and worker ants have also completed their differentiation.

But the strength of the entire ant colony was still very low, and the king and queen did not appear.

In this regard, Jiang Yang decided to push forward and use the [All Things Growth] skill to accelerate the growth of male and female ants.

Soon, the two species of flame ants began to mature, and then began to complete mating.

After that, the female ants began to devour a large amount of food, and their bodies began to swell rapidly, while the male ants became real tool ants, and the ant king did not appear at all.

Seeing that the queen ant is about to take shape, he will immediately bind it to the prop bar.

After completing this step, Jiang Yang can be said to feel more at ease.

[Monster Name: Flame Ant Queen]

[Monster Level: Level 2]

[Monster Skill: Devour/Reproduce]

[Conditions of Use: Entomologist]

[Remarks: The flame ant queen born in the abyss has tenacious ability to survive and reproduce, and the ethnic group is its body]

Looking at the information of the flame ants in front of him, Jiang Yang carefully pondered the meaning of the remarks.

Such an explanation obviously means to treat the entire ethnic group as a complete whole. Are there other meanings besides this?

The ants on the earth only see that communication depends on pheromones, so what about these flame ants?

Ant queens are at the second level, aren't ordinary flame ants only at the first level? As for those immature flame ants, they didn't even have a level.

Jiang Yang felt a bit of a toothache for a while, and it seemed that the flame ants would hardly be able to play a role in a short time.

After all, the monsters he owns are basically stronger than himself. The weakest ecstasy and black-haired ghost ape are also level three, and they all have relatively practical abilities.

Not to mention the newly subdued Yalong, he has already reached level seven, and he can easily crush him in terms of strength.

It's just that Jiang Yang still has some unwillingness to give up. He has high hopes for the flame ants.

At the same time, an ability of the queen ant also caught his attention.

【Swallow】

What does this ability mean?

Looking at the two words on the information panel, Jiang Yang fell into doubt.

If a butcher can devour a large amount of food in a short time and transform it into his own energy, this ability is called gluttony.

And [Swallow] is obviously related to eating, but the specific effect still needs to be tried.

Jiang Yang took out different foods from the storage compartment and fed them to the queen ant, and at the same time began to observe carefully.

The first kind of food is lizard meat, the feeding amount is about 100 grams, and the queen ants will not be able to eat it any more.

After that, the queen's growth speed accelerated again, and her body was almost ten centimeters long.

After a period of digestion, it began to eat food again, and then underwent a new round of growth. The length reached fifteen centimeters, and the abdomen obviously swelled many times.

Afterwards, Jiang Yang fed it again, this time with lizard meat.

The queen grew again, and her size became larger again, and her current size has surpassed that of the previous queen specimen.

This looked at Jiang Yang in a daze, what's going on?

In the middle of the night, the commotion started again outside the camp tonight, but at this moment Jiang Yang's full attention was on the Queen Ant.

After many rounds of feeding lizard meat, the queen's body grew to 25 centimeters long, and this size seemed to have reached the limit, after which the queen stopped growing.

Instead, after eating the food, there were signs of laying eggs, but only a few eggs were laid at first.

After that, Jiang Yang seemed to understand something, and changed a kind of food.

This time it came from the flesh and blood of the dragon,

When repairing Yalong's body before, Jiang Yang left some on purpose.

The coagulated blood was placed in front of the Flame Ant Queen, who sniffed it and opened his mouth to swallow it.

It's just that the energy contained in the flesh and blood from the sub-dragon is not comparable to that of ordinary lizard monsters.

After eating about 50 grams, the queen stopped eating and began to fall into a deep sleep.

At the same time, Jiang Yang found a slight red light on the Queen Ant's body, and she felt a little hot to the touch.

"Interesting, interesting"

Suddenly Jiang Yang understood what the [Swallow] skill possessed by the Queen Ant really meant!

【Swallow】

[Skill Description: The ability to extract one-tenth of specific food for your own use]

After Jiang Yang once again focused on the skill of the queen ant, a new prompt appeared in the system.

"Fuck!"

The moment he confirmed the effect of this skill, Jiang Yang almost jumped up.

Why can flame ants survive in the abyss where the environment is extremely harsh?

This is a problem, there must be some other reason besides strong reproductive ability.

The moment Jiang Yang saw the skill description, he immediately understood the key.

If they can obtain some of the abilities of the enemy or natural enemies through predation, then to a certain extent they have already defeated the enemy, at least they will not all die under the special abilities of the natural enemies.

Two hours later, the queen woke up.

At the same time, a new information panel appeared in front of Jiang Yang:

[Monster Name: Flame Ant Queen]

[Monster Level: Level 3]

[Monster Skill: Devour/Reproduce/Fire Resistance]

[Conditions of Use: Entomologist]

[Remarks: The flame ant queen born in the abyss has tenacious ability to survive and reproduce, and the ethnic group is its body]

This made Jiang Yang overjoyed, and the ant queen in front of him suddenly became a real treasure in his eyes!

So I immediately put it back into the incubator, and after returning to the ant colony, the queen quickly began to enter the state.

The entire ant colony was soon completely controlled by it, and the soldier ants and worker ants began to build a delivery room for it, and the fate of the male ants and workers remained the same.

After daybreak, a delivery room is completed and the queens begin laying eggs.

The expansion of the ant colony is just around the corner, and at the same time, Jiang Yang focused on those brain-eating insects.

Before that, he also planned to carry out special training, using biological methods to transform brain-eating worms into insects with social animal characteristics.

But after seeing the special ability of the queen ant, Jiang Yang changed his mind instantly.

Whether relying on biological means can be successful is still unknown. Jiang Yang knows how difficult it is to achieve gene fusion and screen out the individuals he wants.

Even if there are enough samples, thousands of experiments can be successful in the end, it is already a high incense, after all, it is related to pure luck and perseverance.

On the technical level, Jiang Yang only understands some theoretical things, and there are still many problems that have not been solved before he wants to do it.

But now, he can completely solve this problem without technology, because he only needs to let the queen eat enough brain-eating worms!
