Ants are really interesting characters if we are thinking of evolution

Ants and termites, what also are ants are interesting characters. Those social, wingless bugs are defending their base with a very big attitude, and some of them even die, when they are defending their queen and home. One of the most interesting characters in that community, where everybody would put their stakes to the work of the day is military ants.

Military- or soldier ants are the very aggressive version of ants, and their mission is to defend others. But how those ants would control those soldiers? Their jaws are terrifying and attitude is deadly, but why they are not attacking the workers? That is because the worker would feed that terrifying member of the community.

If the soldier ant would be aggressive, there would be the situation, that another worker comes to the place, and then those ants would relax that horrifying defender of the community. They are telling that everything is fine, and nobody would not threaten the position of that specific ant. And then those worker ants would give a small bite of sugar to the warrior.

That keeps soldier ant satisfied, and there is one little thing about that soldier ant, what protects the entire community. They cannot eat themselves, and those ants are not using their jaws to anything else than just fighting. Military ants cannot even eat, because in their stomach is not bacteria, what is necessary for eating, or transformation of the food to nutrient.

Ants are given an idea to nanomachines, what his group of robots, what are operating like one giant robot. This kind of robot can lose one part of it, and it can still operate. That poly- or swarm robot would also be more flexible than any other device in human history.

But the ants have given ideas of the society, where everybody has their place, and one of those workers, who would work in that futuristic society is the data worker, who would sit in the space station and control the drones and other devices on the Earth. In this hypothetical scenario, those data workers cannot escape or rebel, because they are addicted to the nutrient, what will bring from Earth.

When we are thinking about evolution, the ants have learned the communal working. In their society, every single ant has own duty. And if the duty is defending the society, those bugs would not do anything else.

In the next part, the world "future" can be replaced by the world "other civilization". What we will do and what we are looking in the distant future is a mystery, and without time machine we cannot find that out, how our decadents would live thousands of years after us. The evolution of ants has given the idea that maybe the future would bring to the world the real-life information workers, who are operating in the giant orbiting space station.

Those space stations would need the food from Earth, and that thing would keep them under the control. And those workers would operate the drones and robots on Earth. The thing is that if those controllers connection with robots must be cut, the thing, what the people on Earth must do is just jam the communication lines. If those operators would spend all of their life in the space station, their bones and muscles would be so weak, that those inmates would be dead, if they land to the Earth.

And in one scenario those characters would not have even consoles, and their brains are connected to the computers by using surgically installed microchips. They would also offer their brain capacity to solve problems, and if there would be a problem, the operator, who sits on Eart can just cut the connection of the microchip. The idea is that in those space stations would live people, whose brains can be connected, and that will gove those systems extremely high level of intelligence and ability to solve problems.

Generic manipulated food and next-generation space system.

Generic manipulated food and next-generation space system.

Genetic manipulation of the plantages and the threats, what this thing can cause are really interesting. The vegetables can manipulate for creating the pheromones, which causes fear, and this kind of things makes possible to create vegetables, which deny going in some areas. That kind of things might be extremely good for denying the animals go in the irrigated areas.

But that kind of manipulation would make the ability to create new vegetables for space stations. Those new species would product dryer waste, which is more suitable for the nutrient layer for the closed cycle live support systems.

The closed cycle systems are able to make the space stations cheaper to operate, because of all waste in the system would be recycled. And that minimizes the need for the service cargo to that space station.

there is some kind of thoughts that when we are talking about the "green" or self-sustain communities, some of those communities are serving the plans to create the colonies to space.

When we are going to make colonies to Moon and other planets, we must realize that those bases must be so far independent as they could. Sometimes there have been tales, that the free water is an important thing for the success of the project.

But in fact, water can borough to the place as the form of oxygen and hydrogen. If we would use this kind of version to create water, we can produce it in the fuel cells, and recycling or collecting the exhaust gas of rocket motor, that uses hydrogen and oxygen as the fuel.

When we would collect that water in the tank, the crew might increase the minerals in that water, which makes it suitable as drinking water. This kind of way, where the water would take in the base by making it synthesized methods would deny the micro-organisms entrance to the base.


The creation of water from the rocket fuel and oxygen denies the need for separated water tank, and it will decrease the weight of the system. Also, the water can separate back to the oxygen and hydrogen by using electrolysis. And the electricity would get from the solar panels.
