A Beekeeper in a Magical World Chapter 27: 2nd hybridization
In the language of the elves, pronouns are divided not by gender, but by race.
It can be understood that if you are an elf, then use "he" when referring to you, and if you are any non-elf, then use "it" when referring to you.
The latter is obviously inferior to the former.
"This is a highly civilized but arrogant race."
Hua Mi made a mental assessment.
According to Xiao Zi, elves are single-sex and look like human women.
But they do not reproduce asexually.
Elves can mate with individuals of any race and gender and give birth to offspring.
The most amazing thing is that no matter what species the other half is, the child born will always be an elf, with at most some subtle details reflecting the characteristics of the other half.
"What a powerful gene..."
Hua Mi was once again refreshed by this magical world.
"That wanted criminal is also an Elf?"
The appearance looks like an elf, but it doesn't look like it.
"Not the orthodox elves, but the mad fighting elves."
"Crazy fighting elves..."
The name sounds very tough.
"During the second abyss invasion, the elves created a race based on themselves as a template in order to fight against the abyss species."
Hua Mi probably understands the relationship between the two. To put it simply, the fighting elves are a servant species created by the orthodox elves, what is known as "tool people".
And it is a tool of war.
This is a species specifically designed for war.
"But after the war, the elves found it difficult to control the Berserker Elves. They were naturally rebellious and manic, and were always inclined to use violence to solve problems, which was contrary to the noble and elegant elves. Now the Berserker Elves have deviated from orthodoxy. The elves exist independently, and the two sides have become mortal enemies..."
This purple-haired pseudo-flower spirit seems to be very interested in this kind of gossip between races, and her little mouth can't stop talking.
Hua Mi is not interested in the historical entanglement between elves and mad war. It sounds as boring as a history class, but there is one thing he is curious about: "What is the situation of the abyss invasion?"
Xiao Zi said: "I don't know, everyone seems to be keeping secret about the abyss."
"Have you never experienced it?"
"Nearly a thousand years have passed since the second abyssal invasion, and I was not even born at that time."
Okay.
At least not a thousand-year-old goblin.
Speaking of which, the wanted criminal is now in the Black Forest.
Although the Black Forest is so big, the probability of encountering the opponent is very small.
But you still have to pay attention and be prepared.
……
At night.
The new bee species born from the cross between the forest swift bee and the armored bee is about to emerge from the cocoon.
Hua Mi walked up and down in front of the beehive full of expectation, like an old father outside the delivery room.
Finally, the new bee species crawled out of the hive.
It seems to have shrunk in size. It is smaller than the ordinary Chinese bee and looks more flexible.
Hua Mi immediately made a conscious connection and explored its attributes.
The results were different from what he expected.
There are advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that, as Hua Mi expected, it successfully inherited the hardening ability of the Armored Bee and the speed of the Forest Swift Bee.
Moreover, the speed is much faster than the forest speed bee, and can reach 3 times that of ordinary bees at the fastest!
The shortcoming is equally fatal - no honey sac.
To put it simply, the collection ability is 0.
This time he has completely become a combat bee.
However, its super high speed means that it can assemble to protect it faster. From this aspect alone, it is still worth cultivating.
Hua Mi controls it to harden.
The hardness is basically the same as the armored bee——
This hardened appearance looks like it is covered with a layer of crystalline material, which is actually not accurate. It should be said that it is magical power that forms a protective shield on its body. Due to the refraction of light, it looks like a crystal.
Its wings are extremely developed, and even in a hardened state, its flying speed can reach twice that of ordinary bees.
"Since it is a hybrid product of the Forest Swift Bee and the Iron-clad Swift Bee, let's call it the Iron-clad Swift Bee."
Hua Mi first copied the template of this new bee species as usual.
In this way, he has four bee species templates.
Forest Bee, Armored Bee, Pain Bee, Armored Swift Bee.
First of all, the Armored Swift Bee cannot replace the Forest Swift Bee. Although it is faster, it has no honey sac and cannot collect honey.
As for the Armored Bee... In terms of combat value alone, the Armored Swift Bee can completely replace the Armored Bee.
But one advantage of the Armored Bee compared to it is that it not only has combat capabilities, but also has the ability to collect. Although the collection ability is not as good as that of ordinary bees, it still has 0.7.
Thinking about it this way, Ironclad Bees and Pain Bees are a bit like field soldiers. Fight during wartime and engage in production operations during peacetime.
Iron-armored Swift Bees are allowed, but the proportion cannot be too large.
It is enough to raise a group first.
He now has 6 swarms of ordinary Chinese Bees in reserve. He selected one of them and injected it into the Iron Armored Swift Bee template.
After his mental power improved, this process was already a piece of cake for him.
As usual, record this new bee species in your notes.
[Iron Armored Swift Bee]
Born from a cross between the Forest Swift Bee and the Iron Bee, it inherits the Iron Bee's hardening ability and the Forest Bee's speed, but loses the honey sac.
The body is slightly smaller than the ordinary Chinese wasp, the wings are thicker and larger, covered with black stripes, diffraction patterns appear on the back, the tentacles are shortened, the sense of smell is weakened, the single eye is not fully developed, and the vision is weakened...
[Lifespan: 1]
[Fecundity: 1]
[Productivity: 0]
Lifespan and fecundity can basically satisfy the natural continuation of the population, so here we consider it from the perspective of the bee colony as a whole, and it is simply set as 1.
The actual situation is that the lifespan of the Iron-clad Swift Bee is lower than that of ordinary bees, but its reproductive capacity is higher.
But there is no need to be so precise and sophisticated, and it is not writing a paper. It is more intuitive and easier to understand by rounding.
In addition, because the Armored Swift Bee has no honey sac, its collection ability is undoubtedly 0.
Combat aspect——
[Attack power: 1.5]
[Defense: 6]
[Vitality: 2]
[Speed: 2.5]
The overall evaluation of combat ability is 5.
Compared to the 3 of the Armored Bee and the Pain Bee, it has been improved by two levels.
So, this hybrid evolution was successful.
"By the way, this Iron-clad Swift Bee is still in a state of mating, so it should be possible to use it as a mother for a second hybridization, right?"
Hua Mi tried to connect the Pain Bee template to it and found that it worked.
Anyway, the template of the Armored Swift Bee has been copied, and another bee colony has obtained the template and returned to the nest to form a cocoon. You can boldly use this ready-made individual for experiments.
So Hua Mi began to try to hybridize the Pain Bee and the Iron-Armored Swift Bee.
It was found that the second cross was much more difficult than the first cross, and the difficulty increased exponentially.
The repulsion between the two is greatly increased.
If the previous time was normal difficulty, then this time it is expert difficulty.
Hua Mi spent a lot of energy to finally combine the two.
The Iron-armored Swift Bee who had just left the room turned around and went back in.
Hua Mi's mental energy was almost exhausted. After cleaning up and returning home, she didn't even drink the honey water and fell asleep.
