Chapter 114: The New Main Combat Species (1)
The matter of crop improvement wasn’t a high priority and could be left for later when there was more free time to study it leisurely.
With the swarm steadily expanding in size, it was about to step into the limelight and face various challenges.
Luo Wen’s urgent task now was to determine the primary combat species for the upcoming period.
But the question remained—what kind of biological template should be chosen?
Continuing to use the ant template wasn’t impossible. Adding an advanced detection system, equipping it with a powerful heart, overhauling its nutrient supply system, and enhancing its mobility were all feasible modifications. However, there was one critical, unsolvable problem:
The exoskeleton armor.
The exoskeleton not only made ants into powerhouses but also improved their defensive capabilities.
Yet, the exoskeleton was both a blessing and a curse.
Despite its numerous advantages, the exoskeleton inherently restricted the size of the ants. If they wanted to grow larger, they had to go through repeated molting.
