Chapter 350
For the first batch of workers, Chu Yunsheng didn’t really expect a lot of people, but he was still shocked when he found out that out of a hundred thousand people, only two people showed up.
Chu Yunsheng was stunned. Facing one person that he was familiar with, he didn’t know what to say.
It was no longer the fear that made them not show up, it was hate.
Chu Yunsheng was also a human being, so he immediately understood why they didn’t come.
Yes, everyone was scared of death, and no one wanted to die. In order to survive, they could swallow their pride, ignoring all the shame of becoming slaves.
However, Hong Kong was still resisting, as long as they had the slightest hope, no matter how scared they were, they would not help insects to destroy Hong Kong.
Not that they suddenly became noble or cared for humanity, but their relatives and their children were still on Jing Ji island.
Most of them were the people who gave up their lives to exchange for a ticket for their loved ones. To those people, their families who were on the island were much more important than their own lives!
All the insects were born to kill, and even the worker worms that normally function as energy collectors were no exception.
However, in addition to combat capabilities, worker worms had the ability that other insects didn’t have. It was able to dig deep into the ground, convert, gather, and collect fire energy under the ground.
This function once puzzled Chu Yunsheng for a while. He always thought that Heaven And Earth Yuan Qi, which was the dark energy, was equally distributed in the entire third-dimensional space. But If what he thought was correct, then why was there a rich amount of fire energy under the ground.
Only when he escaped from the yellow mountain with Brother Worm did he realize that it was not like what he had thought it was.
Brother Worm almost dug through Earth’s crust and entered the boundary between the mantle and the crust of Earth to get energy. It was the place where temperatures began to rise noticeably. So in addition to a large amount of earth elemental energy, there was also a tremendous amount of fire elemental energy. Plus several other types of energies, they often entangled with each other.
The worker worm’s job was to extract the pure fire energy from those entangled energies and get rid of those impurity parts that were useless and harmful to insects.
This was where the main problem occurred. With a journey that was around 30 kilometers deep into the ground, no matter how fast a worker worm could be, the time it wasted on the 30 kilometers journey was definitely a lot, not to mention that it was just a single trip, not a return trip.
As an energy collector, each worker worm was responsible for two roles, it greatly reduced its speed in gathering fire energies.
Due to the number limitation of golden-shelled insects, they could not help worker worms much, other insects also could not widen the tunnel. After all, they were born to kill, not to dig.
Compared to them, the size of a human body was just about right. But more importantly, humans could operate tools and equipment, they didn’t even need to get into the ground, they could just use equipment to pull the energy up.
In this way, the efficiency of the fire energy supply would increase ten times or even a hundred times! And with this amount of energy, the tomb would definitely be able to produce enough culture fluid for him.
