210: Not enough mosquitoes, the streamer even has to catch ants?!
Following the suggestion of enthusiastic fans in the Streamer's live broadcast room, Su Yu, unable to buy suitable bait, decided to first perform a 'hand-rolled UV light' in the live broadcast room.
With his current crafting skills, making such simple small items was a piece of cake. As long as he had the materials, he could practically make them with his eyes closed.
After making the UV light, he then custom-made a constant temperature box.
The main purpose of the UV light was to attract Mosquitoes, while the constant temperature box was for live-capturing and preserving the experimental subjects. After all, while Mosquitoes can be tenacious, their vitality is also just so-so.
To ensure that all experimental subjects he acquired were in optimal condition, this was a necessary preparation.
Once everything was ready, Su Yu, carrying his tools and live broadcast equipment, left his home.
The fan experts said that Mosquitoes that fly into the house generally aren't very venomous. If he wanted to find large, highly venomous, and active experimental subjects, the wilderness was the best choice.
And preferably, those from the subtropical forest regions.
Some species of Mosquitoes living in these areas are so venomous that they can attack not only humans but also thick-skinned livestock like cattle, horses, and pigs.
However, this was too difficult for Su Yu.
It was only now that the weather was a bit warmer that Mosquitoes were gradually emerging. Otherwise, given the climate of Chongqing, let alone Mosquitoes from tropical forests, he wouldn't even be able to find tiny water Mosquitoes.
The most venomous Mosquitoes he could find at the moment were the striped Mosquitoes flying around in the wetland forest behind the mountain.
Finding a dark, smelly ditch behind the mountain, Su Yu pinched his nose, set up his equipment, turned on the UV light stored in the constant temperature box, and then quickly fled the scene as if escaping.
It wasn't because of the harsh environment or the foul smell, but because there were simply too many Mosquitoes in the mountains!
Su Yu, who usually lived in the densely populated urban area, hadn't noticed. Occasionally, there might be one or two Mosquitoes, but they would usually meet the tragic fate of being swatted to death by him.
But there were indeed many Mosquitoes in the mountains!
He wondered if they were all female Mosquitoes.
Su Yu felt that if he stayed any longer, he would probably be carried away by 'nine Mosquitoes pulling a coffin'; these vicious Mosquitoes could probably just lift him and take him away.
Fortunately, he had deliberately worn long sleeves and pants when he left, otherwise, even if he wasn't carried away, he would be covered in bites.
Half an hour later.
When Su Yu returned, the UV light and constant temperature box did not disappoint him.
The small 20-cubic-centimeter constant temperature box was already densely packed with many Mosquitoes. If someone with trypophobia saw this scene, they would probably die on the spot.
There were at least thirty to forty Mosquitoes in the small box.
Su Yu observed carefully; the black and white striped Mosquitoes inside accounted for the majority, almost more than half. And these were precisely his main targets!
In the live broadcast room, seeing the densely packed Mosquitoes, the audience couldn't help but feel their hair stand on end and get goosebumps all over their bodies.
“Eek! Mom, help! So many Mosquitoes!”
“It’s over, even though I only saw them on camera, why do I feel like I hear countless buzzing sounds in my ears?”
“I suddenly have an evil thought! If I had a box full of Mosquitoes like this, I would definitely throw it directly into my boss's bedroom in the middle of the night! Let him experience what it's like to be sleepless all night.”
“Hahahahaha, that’s so cruel! Dozens of Mosquitoes in a room at the same time, just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.”
“Alright, Streamer, all the Mosquitoes have been caught. Shouldn't we go home and get down to business now? When are we going to start researching the figurine/model kit! Our buddies are all waiting!”
Although Su Yu's live broadcast content today was absurd and surprising.
But strangely, even though two hours had passed, the number of online viewers in the live broadcast room was now even higher than when he first started, and it was still slowly and steadily increasing!
This indirectly showed that the audience did not, as they claimed, dislike watching Su Yu catch Mosquitoes; instead, they were all saying one thing but meaning another.
Deep down, they were curious about what the Streamer was really up to this time.
Actually, this was not the audience's fault.
After all, a crafting blogger suddenly changing careers to catch Mosquitoes was indeed incredibly strange.
However, Su Yu didn't care. After catching the Mosquitoes, he wasn't in a hurry to leave.
Since he had gone to the mountains, he planned to catch some other things.
Under everyone's stunned gaze, he pulled out a small box of biscuits from his pocket.
These Oreo cookies were specially selected by Su Yu.
Compared to ordinary biscuits, these had a cream filling and were sweeter, which would be a fatal temptation for Ant living in the mountains who had never eaten anything good.
That's right!
Su Yu's second target was the large Ant in these mountains.
He had the flying ones; next, he definitely needed the crawling ones.
Never underestimate creatures like Ant!
Su Yu, who had been watching 'Animal World' frequently recently, learned that compared to humans, these little creatures are very small, but there is a proverb that says, 'Enough Ant can kill an elephant!'
The status of these little creatures in nature should not be underestimated!
Someone once tried to count all the Ant on Earth, but the final result was that they simply couldn't count them! That's right! They couldn't count them! Even a rough estimate couldn't yield a number.
The total number of Ant is estimated to be hundreds or even thousands of times more than humans!
Moreover, as one of the smallest creatures in nature, Ant possess incredibly powerful strength.
A single Ant can move things that are hundreds of times heavier than its own body!
In terms of relative strength, even lions and tigers would be crushed to dust.
Su Yu was also targeting them because of the strength of these little creatures.
He sprinkled Oreo cookie crumbs under a large tree, and not long after, the first black one discovered it!
Immediately, it used its antennae to transmit this message to the second one.
Moments later, the Ant family, as if receiving intelligence, swarmed in a large group, heading straight for the Oreo cookies.
Su Yu squatted down, squinting his eyes to observe.
The Ant at his feet had pointed mandibles, an unindented posterior head margin, large heads, and their entire bodies were about two to three centimeters long!
These were Pheidole rhea!
The size of a soldier Ant ranges from two millimeters to three centimeters! In the Ant world, they are truly big guys.
Choosing them as his target today, Su Yu felt quite satisfied.
However, the audience in the live broadcast room felt uncomfortable seeing this scene.
Everyone originally thought that once Su Yu had caught enough Mosquitoes, he would go home and start making the figurine/model kit seriously.
But who would have thought that he hadn't caught enough Mosquitoes and was now catching Ant!
How outrageous is that?!
They couldn't understand! They simply couldn't understand what the Streamer was trying to do with this move!
