Chapter 625 Solidification Ceremony
The day of the solidification ceremony is coming soon...

There were all kinds of smells that he had never smelled before emanating from the flowers. Mo Ling rolled around in these smells with great interest, but he also obeyed the advice of the fragrance of the plants and trees. Every time he came into contact with a new smell, he would test it out before entering into it.

These new smells were very pure and very similar to the smells on the bee. They did not seem to be produced naturally. Mo Ling did not know how these smells were brought here by the bee, but he knew that they were probably prepared for the solidification ceremony.

Mo Ling didn't know what this "solidification ceremony" was, but he could feel that the bees in the flowers and the herbaceous fragrance that had been watching over him had become extremely busy, as if they were preparing something...

Finally, one morning, Caomuxiang brought all the newborns to the center of the flowers.

A piece of open space was cleared here, and all the scent bees gathered here. Countless smells mixed together, making Mo Ling feel dizzy for a moment.

"The time has come, Chief, let's begin the ceremony..."

"Ok."

……

As the ceremony began, the leader's rich fruity fragrance suddenly bloomed, instantly covering the entire open space and permeating the scent of every bee.

And those originally chaotic free smells were separated under the leader's control, turning into distinct smell belts that spread over the open space.

At the same time, the leader's scent fluctuations began to echo throughout the open space.

"I have isolated all the smells. Guardians, please release the newborns."

Following the leader's announcement, all the guardians present opened the scented swaddling clothes and placed the newborn babies inside on the open ground.

Mo Ling was of course among them. He explored the surroundings curiously, but did not smell anything, as if those smells had completely disappeared.

"Did the leader do this? Block out all the smell?"

"So powerful!" Mo Ling didn't expect that the leader's ability was so strong.

Just as he was thinking about it, the diffused fruity fragrance slowly surrounded all the newborns present.

Some of these newborns came from swaddling clothes with the fragrance of plants and trees, and some came from other guardians in the flowers. After these guardians put the newborns on the open ground, they floated back into the air, as if they were very relieved about the newborns.

The leader's wave came again.

"Newborns, this is your first time stepping out of your swaddling clothes and feeling the smell of the outside world. Does it feel good?"

The newborns present were all immersed in the sweet fruity fragrance. They squirmed their bodies, looking a little clumsy.

After the leader's scent dissipated, it was not so strong anymore. It became much thinner and smelled very fragrant.

Mo Ling rolled around in the open space following the smell. Those clumsy companions would fall down in a daze after being bumped into by Mo Ling, with very poor ability to move.

Before the ceremony began, Caomuxiang warned Mo Ling not to get into trouble, so he had to step back and help up his fallen companions.

"How stupid."

Mo Ling complained in his heart and started rolling around again.

The leader's scent was particularly widespread and unrestrained, and Mo Ling took the opportunity to roll around in it, having a great time. The leader ignored Mo Ling's behavior and just followed the ritual process to proceed to the next step.

The smell began to continue to fluctuate.

"Although you haven't acquired the ability to communicate yet, I know that you can understand what I mean. You have grown up in the cradle for a long enough time. Now is the time for you to choose to solidify your smell on your own."

"Now, let me tell you what odor solidification is..."

"Everything in the world is made up of molecules. These molecules come together to form all the matter in the world. When these molecules escape from the matter, they become smells..."

……

Bee bees are a species that survive on odor molecules.

Their larvae are actually molecular clusters composed of uncollapsed odor molecules.

Although this molecular cluster can survive on other odor molecules, it is easily affected by other odors.

"Whatever smell you come into contact with, you collapse into that smell."

Therefore, in order to prevent the cubs from collapsing before they develop self-awareness, the "guardians" of the Bee colony use their own scent to create an odor-isolating swaddling cloth to protect all the cubs.

As the larvae grow, the odor molecules in their bodies will continue to replicate, just like the cells of normal organisms, and gradually increase in number. This will also slowly increase the intelligence of the larvae. At first they will be confused and have no consciousness, but as the odor molecules increase, they will have the same intelligence as adults.

After reaching a certain point, they can control their own collapse.

At this time, the smell can be solidified.

"Odor solidification actually means that the larvae collapse into specific odor molecules."

Only after becoming certain odor molecules can they begin to participate in civilized activities such as hunting, construction, communication, reproduction, etc.

When the odor molecules are solidified, they can strengthen themselves by absorbing the same odor molecules without having to slowly replicate themselves. Therefore, the speed of acquiring odor molecules will be greatly increased. This is the "predation" of the bee.

The more scent molecules that come together, the stronger their scent will be.

They can also change their volume freely and control the concentration of scent molecules, just like the leader is doing now, fully spreading out his body and letting the scent cover an entire open space.

Not only that, only when the odor molecules are solidified can the Bee Bee be exposed to other odors without being disturbed by those odors.

At the same time, after the molecular concentration increases, they can entrain other odor molecules to "construct", arbitrarily combine odors, manipulate odors, gather other odor molecules into the shape they want, or use them to achieve other purposes. This is "construction".

With a certain smell, they can pass information to other companions, express certain sentences through changes in concentration, and achieve "communication" by entraining other odor molecules to make specific indicative modifications.

What’s more important is that when their concentration reaches a certain level, they can compress the odor molecules and superimpose them with the odor molecules of other bees to create uncollapsed odor molecule clusters. These odor molecule clusters will become the newborns of the next generation. At this point, they have completed the important task of "reproduction" of the race.

The solidification of smell is a sign that the individual of the bee is transforming from a larva to an adult, and it is also a prerequisite for the bee to control smell.

“Before you can master smells, you must first become the smells.”
