The ruling throne is indeed modeled after the Ant King of the Ant Tribe.

The development process of the 'ant eggs' produced by the ruling throne is exactly the same as that produced by the female ant queen of the ant tribe.

The larvae hatched from ant eggs are 'half-force life', they can eat, grow, and develop rapidly, changing their appearance every day.

Long cypress carved words on the stone wall to record the time.

The first two ant eggs lasted 38 days. The larvae grew from a few centimeters in size to two or three centimeters in length, white and fat.

‘Producers’ take the lead in spinning silk and spinning cocoons.

Two days later, the 'Guardian' also spun silk and formed a cocoon, entering the final stage of development.

At the same time, Long Bai continuously generates ant eggs in a five-day cycle through the 'messenger' function of the ruling throne.

Currently, there are 2 ant eggs and 6 larvae of different sizes in the incubation room.

Longbai spends most of its time in the incubation room, taking turns feeding the larvae. At the same time, it vibrates its membrane wings to heat its body and increase the temperature of the nest.

Giant-headed ants like humidity, and occasionally need to go out to fetch water and sprinkle it in the incubation room.

Temperature and humidity are keys to the rapid development of ant eggs and larvae.

……

"Long Bai, has another larva formed a cocoon?"

Mo Lan came to the ant nest to report in the middle of the morning, and helped hunt for food along the way, placing a frog carcass at the entrance of the ant nest.

During this season, frogs hide in caves and hibernate, and I don’t know where they came from.

Mo Lan seems to have a deep resentment towards frogs.

Long Bai has been eating frog meat for more than fifty days.

Long Bai: "Yes. No surprise, it will be a dedicated fighting soldier ant."

Mo Lan: "Soldier ant? But it looks so small. In my inherited memory, the giant-headed ant clan can create soldier ants that are even bigger than the ant king."

Long Bai: "Yes..."

Mo Lan: "Then you can use the ant eggs produced by the Dominion Throne, can you do it?"

Long Bai: "I'm trying it now and it seems to be working."

Giant-headed ants are the most differentiated ant tribe.

Long Bai is currently in his 5th age and has awakened 7 inherited memories that use pheromones to control the differentiation of worker ants.

They are small worker ants, medium worker ants, and large worker ants; small soldier ants, medium soldier ants, large soldier ants, and specialized soldier ants.

For junior warriors aged 6 to 9, every time they sleep and evolve, they will gradually awaken the corresponding inherited memories.

Without pheromone interference, medium-sized worker ants or medium-sized soldier ants will be cultivated. The current two cocoons are ‘medium-sized’.

Longbai is using pheromone control to try to breed specialized soldier ants and small worker ants.

If it works, there will be obvious differentiation in the larval stage.

Specialized soldier ants are huge, so they eat a lot of food. The larvae grow quickly, but the development cycle will be prolonged.

Small worker ants are smaller in size, eat less, and the larvae grow slowly, but the development cycle will be shortened.

Long Bai initially estimated that it would take more than 60 days to cultivate a specialized soldier ant from an ant egg.

It may only take about 30 days to cultivate a small worker ant.

……

"Long Bai, when can we explore the starship?"

Mo Lan asked.

Long Bai has already reaped the benefits and is looking forward to exploring the starship as well.

But this matter cannot be rushed.

Long Bai considered it and said: "The weather has started to warm up recently, and spring is coming. Mo Lan, do you have any seeds to plant?"

Mo Lan: "Yes. I gave birth to a Snow Orchid Life Seed when I was an 8-year-old junior warrior. It was a little late and I didn't have time to plant it."

"I also have a giant cypress seed and plan to sow it this spring."

Long Bai: "Let's plant it early and protect it through the most vulnerable bud stage. By then it should be almost ready and we can set off."

"That's right! We still have to take care of the life seeds. Spring is very busy..." Mo Lan said distressedly, thinking about it, and said:

"Then we may not be able to go until summer."

Mo Lan asked again: "What about the caravan?"

Long Bai: "Do we have any goods that can be traded with the caravan?"

"No." Mo Lan: "But we can go over and have a look."

Long Bai readily agreed: "Let's go over and have a look at that time."

"Yeah!"

Molan cheered for joy.

……

During the continuous sunny days, the temperature on the south side of the mountain range continued to rise and remained at a relatively comfortable level.

Five days later, the third larva formed a cocoon.

Two days later, the 'medium-sized worker ants' that were the first to form cocoons emerged first.

Body length is just over 3 cm.

Without wings!

They are no different from the worker ants raised by the female queen.

Seeing this, Long Bai felt relieved.

The first worker ant is born, eats to replenish physical energy, rests and develops for a day, and then immediately goes to work: taking care of the eggs and larvae

Long Bai has his first right-hand man.

Soon, the first 'medium-sized soldier ant' emerged from the cocoon, with a body length of just over 3 centimeters.

Compared with worker ants, soldier ants have much smaller abdomens, large heads, and well-developed jaws in the shape of sharp hooks, which interlock with each other after complete bite.

The small abdomen is for running faster, and the well-developed jaws are used as combat weapons.

Long Bai rummaged through the rocks and caught a live cricket.

First wave the tentacles to give the soldier ants a hunting order and let the cricket go.

Crickets jumped and fled.

The soldier ant rushed out, locked the position where the cricket landed, charged suddenly, struck out with lightning with both jaws, bit the cricket, clamped it firmly, and exerted force...

The hunt was completed easily and the body was returned to Long Bai.

Long Bai was very satisfied when he saw this, and his previous worries were completely unnecessary.

The soldier ants cultivated with the help of the Dominion Throne are exactly the same as the soldier ants bred by the female ant queen, with the same appearance, the same combat power, and the same command and control.

Long Bai placed his first soldier ant at the entrance of the cave.

With fighting guards and working worker ants, the ant nest has become a bit like an ant kingdom.

Within two days, the third small worker ant emerged from the cocoon, with a body length of only about 1.5 centimeters. It was still placed in the incubation room and was responsible for taking care of the eggs and larvae.

The fourth and fifth small worker ants were born one after another, and the work of the incubation room was completely handed over to the three small worker ants. Such delicate work is more suitable for their small size.

The second medium-sized worker ant is born.

There are currently two medium-sized worker ants. After Long Bai thought about it, he took precautions and dug rocks to open a second incubation room. The two medium-sized worker ants were responsible for carrying the gravel.

There is also a medium-sized soldier ant, which has no problem standing at the entrance of the cave every day. It also calls over to help carry the gravel...

……

A large worker ant is born, with a body length of about 5 centimeters, and Longbai has a powerful helper.

As expected, the ant eggs hatch into larvae, the larvae grow into pupae, and the pupae emerge. The entire development process takes a total of 58 days.

At this time, after the specialized soldier ant larvae have grown to a body length of more than 10 centimeters, they finally spin silk and form cocoons, entering the final stage of emergence.

"Longbai!"

"It's time to eat!"

"Wow! What a big cocoon. Are your specialized soldier ants about to emerge?"

Mo Lan's astonished spiritual thoughts came from outside the ant nest.

Long Bai stopped working and ran out of the nest.

"Yes, cocoons were just formed last night. According to my estimation, the emergence period of specialized soldier ants is about 10 to 15 days."
