Chapter 68 Take off!
Hua Mi copied the scout bee template and recorded it in her notes.
[Scout bee]
is a mutation of the ordinary Chinese bee. It is about the same size as the Chinese bee. The villi on the body surface are shorter, harder, and denser, and the tips of the antennae glow... [Lifespan: 1] [Fecundity
:
0.6]
[Productivity: 1 ]
[Attack: 1]
[Defense: 1]
[Vitality: 1]
[Speed: 1]
[Tactical bonus: 5]
Collection ability: 1.
Combat ability: 5.
Scout bees are rated as [Level 3 bees].
The fecundity is a bit low, but that doesn't matter.
Reproductive capacity is a dispensable attribute for scout bees.
Because this kind of bee is special, there is no need to form a bee colony. Only one bee is enough at a time. The template can be converted at any time and used as needed.
As for the extra "tactical bonus", it takes into account its special ability, and its combat ability is therefore set at 5.
The role that this scout bee can play is no worse than that of the armored swift bee and the ring cutter bee.
If you want to explore some dangerous areas in the future, you can send scout bees to conduct reconnaissance first to seize the opportunity.
Or if you want to track a certain target, your strong sense of smell will also come in handy.
There is absolutely no problem with being classified as a level 3 bee.
"This time I opened a double-yolk egg, a level 4 bee, and a level 3 bee. It's very profitable."
Facts have proved that Hilya's improved mutation attractant is successful.
Unfortunately, the dosage is a bit low.
"In the future, I need to help her pay more attention to dragon crystal powder... This mediocre little alchemy genius is worth cultivating!"
Hua Mi's favorability towards Silya increased significantly.
...
Next, Hua Mi began to make preparations for the hybrid experiment.
He selected two worker bee larvae each from the Forest Swift Bee, the Pain Bee, the Iron-clad Swift Bee, and the Iron-clad Swift Bee, and fed them according to the treatment of the queen bee.
After they develop into queen bees and reach sexual maturity, they can be used for hybrid experiments with new bee species.
Why not use the existing queen bees, because they have already passed the mating period, and even during the mating period, you cannot directly use the queen bee for experiments. Without the queen bee's restraint, the bee colony is likely to have problems, which will cause trouble for itself.
Among them, the life cycle of the forest swift bee is relatively fast, and it should reach sexual maturity in less than a week.
Ironclad Bees and Ironclad Swift Bees may have to wait an extra week or even longer.
As for why not choose ring-cut bees.
The reason is still the same as before.
The circumcision bee itself is already the product of a second hybridization.
Using it for a third hybridization would increase the difficulty exponentially, and it was still difficult to achieve with his current mental strength.
...
Hua Mi ordered ten more Chinese honeybees.
Then travel to another world.
As usual, we go to the greenhouse first, and with the help of the seven little ones, we take care of the Perak flowers.
Then the beehives were moved out.
Bees need some air, and the amount of bee activity in the flower field is good for the growth of flowers. Creatures in a circle tend to influence each other and promote each other.
Next, read the alchemy notes, practice controlling the swarm, and exercise your mental power...
The day passed quickly.
In the evening, I went to the greenhouse as usual and planted the newly cultivated seeds to catalyze the flower field for the second time today.
It is worth mentioning that the first two acres of Perak flowers planted have already fully bloomed.
The clear lines on the blue petals symbolize thunder and lightning, symbolizing its vigorous vitality.
The growth condition is much better than the few plants in the ruins of Black Castle.
Whether it's the appearance or the more professional observation of its various parts, it is obviously one or two grades higher than those wild flowers. If you want to determine the quality, the wild flowers can be considered good at best, and the ones in his flower field cannot be said to be top quality, but at least they can be called excellent.
The bees are rising and falling among the flowers, which seems to indicate that the buds have begun to shed nectar.
I checked a few flowers in the past and found that there were indeed signs of honey flowing, but the amount of honey flowing out was still very small, not enough for a bee to collect.
There is also a little surprise.
The transformation speed of that powerful bee swarm was faster than he imagined. At dusk, all of them had emerged from their cocoons, forming a regular army of nearly ten thousand bees.
"Very good, the number of soldiers has been increased again."
The giant bees lined up in front of him.
The buzzing sound produced by the flapping wings is obviously much lower than that of ordinary bees.
This bee with "big arms and round waist" may be considered "muscular brother" even among the wasps.
Compared with the little guys on the side who are concentrating on collecting honey, they are a little less cute and more domineering and philosophical.
"Try your fighting prowess."
Hua Mi controlled the swarm of powerful bees to come outside, looked around, and selected a stone twenty to thirty centimeters in diameter.
Go ahead, Popeye!
The powerful swarms swarmed up and clustered on the lower part of the stone. Their broad and strong backs resisted layer by layer while exerting upward force.
The weight of this stone is estimated to be less than 100 kilograms. It is a piece of cake for the powerful bee swarm, and it can be easily lifted off the ground.
However, he failed to maintain his balance when exerting force. Just a few centimeters above the ground, he suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Every time I practice controlling a new bee colony, I am always not very proficient at first.
Because different bee species have different abilities, it's like choosing different heroes when playing a game. Although the game awareness is there, the overall difference is pretty good, but the operation still requires more practice to play more smoothly.
Hua Mi was not discouraged and continued to practice with concentration.
After trying more than a dozen times, I was finally able to lift the stone more stably and perform simple air movements.
Although the stone was successfully lifted, the energy utilization rate of the bee colony was still very low. The main reason was that the direction of force exerted by the individual giant bees was not adjusted to the best, resulting in serious internal wear and tear.
And the control seems to be delayed, and the experience is a bit poor.
Hua Mi practiced until the sun went down.
If mental power could be quantified, it would be estimated that half of it has been lost by now.
Finally, I was able to control the swarm relatively smoothly to perform some basic movements, including rising, falling, turning, etc. Although it was not as easy as using an arm and a finger, it could be said that practice makes perfect.
boom!
The swarm of powerful bees dispersed in a rush, and the big rocks in the air fell to the ground.
"Next it's time to try flight mode."
Flying is an ability that humans dream of.
Especially when walking hard in the forest, Hua Mi longed to fly freely like the seven little ones.
He took a sip of honey water to replenish his energy, and controlled the powerful swarm to fly back towards him.
Lifting one foot, half of the giant bees in the swarm were entrenched under his feet, like a black somersault cloud.
In this way, with the cooperation of nearly five thousand giant bees, Hua Mi felt a supporting force strong enough to resist gravity from the soles of her feet.
So he slowly raised his other foot and let the remaining giant bees attach to it to exert force.
Stepping on two "black clouds", the body slowly rises into the sky.
One centimeter, two centimeters... ten centimeters, twenty centimeters...
"Success!"
Hua Mi's soles successfully lifted about twenty centimeters off the ground.
But he didn't feel happy for long. The next second, his body suddenly swayed.
A slight imbalance can interrupt his concentration, and then negative feedback further aggravates the imbalance. The whole person suddenly falls forward and falls into the mud.
"It's still a bit difficult to exert force only from the soles of the feet. It's difficult to master the balance..."
Don't be too anxious when you first start practicing.
It's like learning to ride a bicycle. You'll probably fall badly if you get on two wheels at the beginning.
You can consider adding two training wheels for early practice.
When talking about the parts of the human body used to maintain balance, the first thing that comes to mind is undoubtedly the two arms.
So Hua Mi separated one-third of the giant bees and attached them to both arms respectively. Their main function was to maintain balance.
The rest is still attached to the sole of the foot and exerts force.
"It should be stable this time."
Hua Mi concentrated on controlling the swarm, opened her arms, and slowly rose off the ground.
