Astral Ants

Chapter 153

This spring, all kinds of life and orchards in the territory have been busy.

The rest is just the daily irrigation work, which Cui Bai commands the specialized blue soldiers and large blue soldiers to be responsible for.

The Shandong Reservoir was completed.

Juniper and cedar each brought a group of worker ants to dig water channels on the south and north sides of the mountain range.

The canal in the north of the mountain still leads to the Beiqian Reservoir.

The canal in the south of the mountain leads to the Zhanlan Reservoir.

After the dragon cypress was promoted to a high-level ant queen, the blue god-given seed can be said to grow rapidly, and the plant height has exceeded 30 meters. The diameter of the first broad leaf at the bottom is more than 4 meters, and the height from the water surface is more than 1 meter.

Long Bai paid close attention to it all the time, and directed the worker ants to step forward in time to build the reservoir outlet and flood outlet upward by 0.5 meters.

Correspondingly, the water storage depth of the reservoir is increased by 0.5 meters, and the area of ​​the reservoir is expanded accordingly.

Two more times, the water level will be able to cover the "boundary" of Longbai's plan.

Zhanlan's spiritual strength is so high that it scares the insects to death. It can cover a radius of 300 meters. It has been directing the worker ants to dig and fill the soil at the boundary, digging into slopes and shallows. And so on shallow water and wetland swamp plants.

With a warm climate and slightly blazing sunshine, the azure blue god-given seed has also ushered in a vigorous growing season in the new year.

The 31st broad leaf at the top unfolds slowly.

……

Long Bai has nothing to do, controls the ruling throne, and helps the excavation team commanded by Junbai to transport soil in the north of the mountain.

Surrounded by a large group of soldier ants, the giant cypress who led the patrol ran over in a panic, waving its tentacles desperately to send a message from a long distance:
"My lord, it's not good."

"Zhanlan seems to have an accident..."

Long Bai shivered, let go of the dragging spider silk rope, and controlled the ruling throne to quickly float forward.

"What happened to Zhanlan?"

"My lord, I just patrolled the Zhanlan Reservoir and found that the 31st broad leaf of Zhanlan has unfolded, but there are no new shoots emerging from the top. Could it be some bug or bird..."

"I--"

Long Bai was in a hurry, and the ruling throne climbed rapidly, over the mountains, and fell towards the Zhanlan Reservoir.

The Zhanlan God-given Seed has only one main trunk, growing straight upwards without side branches.

If the only bud on the top is damaged by insects or birds, how will it grow in the future?Doom!
As the ruling throne approached, Zhan Lan noticed Long Bai's panic, and asked suspiciously:

"Long Bai, what's wrong with you?"

What's wrong with me?
Long Bai: "Zhanlan, are you okay?"

From a distance, after the new broad leaves unfold, there are indeed no corresponding buds emerging.

"???"

Zhanlan sent a long series of questions and mood swings: What's the matter with me?

The reigning throne is suspended from the top of the tree.

Long Bai lay on the edge of the throne, looking at it closely.

No bite or break marks.

After the 31st broad leaf grew out, no new shoots emerged.

"Zhanlan? You are..."

"Long Bai, what's wrong?"

"Have you grown to the end?"

"???"

Zhanlan once again sent a long series of questioning mental thoughts, but he didn't know what to say.

Long Bai: "Why doesn't the top of your tree grow new leaves?"

Zhanlan: "Yes..."

Zhanlan: "Why?"

Zhanlan asked back.

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai breathed a sigh of relief at first, but was at a loss.

"Zhanlan, do you feel that the original force is not enough?"

"No."

"Then do you feel that you don't have enough nutrients?"

"Long Bai, you just fertilized me a few days ago."

"Then do you have... a bad feeling?"

"No."

"That's good. It should be that the number of leaves has grown to the top..."

Long Bai controlled the throne to descend slowly, carefully inspecting the broad leaves one by one.

The newly expanded leaves are only five or six centimeters in diameter at the top.

The next piece is about ten centimeters in diameter.

The next piece is twelve or thirteen centimeters in diameter.

……

Going down layer by layer, Long Cypress kept in mind the size of each leaf, and when it reached the sixth broad leaf from bottom to top, the throne of dominance hovered.

The diameter of this broad leaf is more than three meters. Under the leaf, on the lignified veins that are thicker than the hind legs of Cypress, there are scattered blue-green fruits the size of grapes.

——This batch of Zhanlan fruit should be mature this autumn.

——Blooming next year, the output must be greatly increased, right?

——Is it still only 6 leaves that bloom and bear fruit?

——corresponding to the degree of evolution...

A flash of inspiration flashed in Long Bai's mind, and he had a guess.

The blue god-given seed has evolved to a height that I don't understand and can't guess.

It turned into a seed form, and then returned to zero to be reborn. Although the memory was cleared, it still retained many of the habits of the previous life, and turned into a seemingly weird and incomprehensible character in this life.

It may also have deviated somewhat from the morphological characteristics of the original plant race.

The number of its leaves corresponds to the height of the previous life level?
Life evolution, elementary, intermediate, and advanced, the corresponding six broad leaves bloom and bear fruit.

On average, every 2 broad leaves correspond to a large stage.

By analogy, the mountain master level has 8 broad leaves, the lord level has 10 broad leaves, and the insect king has 12 broad leaves.

The Bug King is not the end of Force evolution.

The king of insects goes up a big step, corresponding to 14 broad leaves.

Then go up a big step, corresponding to 16 broad leaves...

A total of 31 broad leaves, corresponding to...

Fifteen and a half big ranks?

Calculated in this way, the evolutionary level of the former azure blue god-given seed is simply beyond the sky!

"Zhanlan, it's all right. There's nothing wrong with it."

"Ok."

"Don't tell the worker ants to dig the steep slope to the east. I want to plant fruit trees on the bank. When the fruit is ripe, it will fall into the lake and feed the fish."

"I know."

"Don't dig indiscriminately in the direction of the embankment. If the storm breaks the embankment, it will be troublesome."

"...I didn't dig."

"Okay! Don't dig indiscriminately."

Long Bai controlled the ruling throne to fly, and drove towards the ants colony that was coming down the mountain.

Don't panic, it's normal, it's just a false alarm.

……

The number of broad leaves of the Zhanlan God-given Seed has reached the upper limit, will its tree size continue to increase?

Long Bai was not completely relieved, he went to check it every morning and evening, and continued to observe.

Preliminary conclusions were reached after only three days.

The leaves continue to grow and widen.

After another three days, it was confirmed that the height of the tree was also increasing, but at a slower rate.

The size of the tree continues to grow, which means that the output will continue to increase.

Long Bai felt relieved.

After seeing Sang's flame ability, Long Bai felt itchy, and thought about eating more force food that strengthens the ability of the water system.

Zhanlan fruit is undoubtedly the best choice.

Long Bai himself has always been reluctant to eat the output of Zhanlan.

If the output is high enough, it can be considered.

……

The sounds of small animals and insects such as frogs, toads, crickets, and katydids in the mountains are becoming more and more intense.

Long Bai started preparations early.

First go to Kiwi Mountain, and transport cedars, green cypresses, 40 specialized chemical ants, 30 large worker ants, 10 specialized soldier ants, and 20 large, medium, small and micro soldier ants.

Xiangbai directed the worker ants to help the green maple and red maple dig two biogas digesters.

Cuibai leads the soldier ants to protect their life-planting plants.

Take Molan back to Xianglan Mountain, and bring the green maple and red maple.

Pack your bags and set off to start your business trip this early summer.

PS: More will be added tomorrow.
