live animal world

Chapter 304 304. Trouble
Basking in the sun, Su Yun stretched out his hands to peel off the coat of the termite nest, revealing the orderly distribution of passages inside, and a termite seemed to be startled by the sudden disappearance of the coat, and looked out blankly as it leaned over to observe the passage Su Yun.

Looking at the termite exposed in the field of vision, Su Yun said, "This should be a worker ant, let's clean it here."

"The small passages we see are equivalent to the corridors in the buildings in our human world, and the responsibilities of these worker ants are the same as those of the cleaning staff. Of course, they also have construction ants. Tombs, dig tunnels, build ant roads, cultivate fungus gardens, etc. And among the species without soldier ants, they are also responsible for defending against foreign enemies, anyway, they are doing multiple jobs for one salary."

However, when the worker ants clearly noticed that Su Yunhou was stunned for a moment, he turned around and ran into the passage.

Su Yun leaned over to see the scene in the passage clearly, but the maze-like ant tunnel blocked Su Yun's sight, rubbed his nose, Su Yun said, "Actually, I don't know much about termites, but I know more about them. At least I know some things about termites, so I will give you a brief science popularization, if you are interested, you can learn about it yourself."

"As social insects, there must be a large number. A large termite colony must have at least 100 million individuals, and the division of labor of these species is also different, but they can be divided into three types: worker ants, soldier ants and breeding ants. .”

Seeing that there were no termites in the termite nest that had been uncovered, Su Yun got up and walked to another nest, and continued to uncover the coat, looking for living termites.

"And among these three types of termites, two types can be distinguished."

As he said that, Su Yun picked up a slightly larger termite and said, "Look, this is a termite, it should be a soldier ant, because it is bigger than the termite we saw in the passage just now, and it doesn't have wings. It can only be soldier ants."

"One of the two types of termites is the non-reproductive type, which is the termite we see in front of us. It is one of the non-reproductive types, and it belongs to the other two non-reproductive types. They are worker ants and rooster ants.”

"As the name suggests, non-reproductive means that they cannot reproduce. Although they are divided into male and female, their genitals are degenerated and cannot reproduce. Therefore, they are at the next level in the whole society."

After thinking about it, Su Yun said, "The number of worker ants accounts for about 80% of the entire colony, while soldier ants only account for 5.00%. The rest are reproductive termites and nymphs."

"The nymphs can be understood as substitutes, that is to say, if the number of worker ants decreases, the nymphs will supplement them and become a member of the worker ants. By the way, nymphs refer to the differentiation from termite eggs to the 3rd instar All larvae before worker ants or soldier ants."

[Then this is too similar to human society. 】

[The social system of social animals is not much different, it is nothing more than the level of thought. 】

[Soldier ants correspond to the army in human society. The worker ants are ordinary people, and the Ruo ants are the children of ordinary people. If the army recruits people, these children will join the army, and those who have not joined the army, or the number of joiners is enough Yes, and directly into the society, is that what you mean? 】

[So what role do reproductive termites play in society?capitalism? 】

Su Yun smiled and said, "That's what it means, I understand it very thoroughly."

"As for whether the reproductive type is equivalent to the capitalism in our human life, I don't think so. Reproductive termites will sacrifice their lives for the race."

After a pause, Su Yun changed the subject and said, "Continue to talk about reproductive termites. They are also divided into three types, long-winged, short-winged and wingless, they"

Just as he was thinking about termite knowledge, Su Yun saw that the barrage in the live broadcast room suddenly became dense. When he saw such a dense barrage, Su Yun's face turned dark. Generally, in such a situation, nothing good will happen.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yun pulled out the dagger on the side of his leg without hesitation, then turned around and bowed his waist to face the rear. Su Yun is very experienced in facing such sudden situations. He cannot run at this time. Convenience will feel that they are showing weakness, and they will attack, so the best way is to confront.

But when he turned his head, Su Yun was dumbfounded. He saw dense termites swarming out of the termite nest that he had opened his coat before, flowing down like a waterfall in the passageway where his coat was opened, and in the blink of an eye, they came back again. The distance between Su Yun and Su Yun was shortened by one meter.

"Tsk." Looking at the spectacle in front of him, Su Yun not only sighed, "Isn't this scene particularly spectacular? But it doesn't matter, even if this group of termites come ten times more, they will not pose any threat to me. After all, if I take a step, the other party will have to fight Walk for more than ten seconds."

Just as he was speaking, Su Yun's confident face suddenly froze, and then he saw that a small piece of coat that had been uncovered in the nest suddenly began to expand, and it expanded more than ten times in the blink of an eye. It slid to the ground, and then a large group of flying ants jumped out of it, heading straight for Su Yun.

"Damn it!" Su Yun looked at the overwhelming termites and ran away, and then shouted, "His grandma's is a long-winged termite. This thing flies so fast."

[Laughing to death, I swore just now that I am not afraid of termites, and when some flying ones come out, I will be scared immediately! 】

[Can be provoked but not supported, poke wasp (termite) with naked buttocks]

[Uh, termites also rushed out of the second termite nest whose coat was lifted. Why does it feel like the anchor is going to die. 】

At this time, Su Yun was a little helpless. He suddenly found that the further he walked in, the softer the ground was, and a hole could be created by stepping on the ground with a little force. But after thinking about it, Su Yun understood what was going on. It was also hollowed out by termites, and the entire area seemed to have become a termite empire.

All of a sudden, there was a light buzzing in his ears, and Su Yun's neck hurt. Su Yun was so angry that he slapped the termite that was biting his neck to death, and then ran even faster.

But the next moment, Su Yun, who was running gritted his teeth, sank, half of his calf stepped directly into the soil, and then Su Yun, who was running at a high speed, stumbled and bumped into a termite nest about one meter high, and then Seeing the nests in front of him scattered like flowers scattered by a goddess, Su Yun could see the termites being carried away.

With a muffled grunt and falling to the ground, Su Yun got up and ran away, screaming, "It's over, it's over, it's over! It's a big deal."

What responded to Su Yun was the parrot's yelling, and the parrot swished out of the backpack, and said loyally, "Old Su, I will go ahead and find the way for you."

Su Yun scolded, "You are so mean."

While cursing, Su Yun suddenly saw the movement of long-winged termites through the camera of the drone. For a moment, Su Yun's heart went cold.
