The status of male ants in the ant society is that of nobles, elders and military commanders. Not only do they enjoy the highest-end food in the entire ant nest like female ants, they have a lofty status, but they also have other things that female ants do not possess. political and military power.
It can be said that the male ant class is the de facto ruling class of the entire ants. Even though there is a distinction between king and king within it, the nature of the ruler is clear.
The top of the pyramid of ant society is the male ant. Although the two female ants have the same status, they are excluded from the power level and can only be ranked in the second level. The worker ants and soldier ants have almost no power, but fulfill the most obligations. They are the bottom of the pyramid.
Naturally, the male ant class has become a vested interest in the existing system. They use their IQ and status superiority to achieve rule by the minority over the majority.
These vested interests are bound to consciously protect the interests and status of their own class, and they naturally tend to be conservative.
If the protagonist wants to make use of the wisdom of the big worker ants and the pale gold worker ants, he must allocate high-end food that is originally exclusive to male ants and female ants to them, and also give them a higher status. This undoubtedly affects the male ant class. cheese.
Although the protagonist does not intend to consume too much high-end food to cultivate more male ants in the absence of large worker ants, from the perspective of the male ant class, high-end food is wasted, but it is not available to other ants of the non-male and female class. Eating is not an option. The same goes for power.
When the offspring of the parasitic ants were first cultivated, because the initial experimental site was at a temporary camp on the shore of the lake, mixed with the headquarters of the Angel King's legion, many kings knew the news.
Their reaction was also fierce, but this was still out of distrust of enemies such as parasitic ants. The protagonist could only explain that he was studying the enemy's weaknesses, and used his transcendent status as the Envoy King to suppress them.
Even though the big worker ants who are the descendants of these parasitic ants now work with the little secretaries in "Dongyang City", when they meet male ants, these male ants will still ask the big worker ants to greet them with the low profile of worker ants. It can be seen that the male ants regard the large worker ants as a lower class.
As for the experiment conducted in the separate nest nursery next to "Dongyang City", the protagonist conducted it in secret. Only the protagonist and the worker ants who were replenishing supplies could enter the entire branch nest. The nursery workers could only enter and not exit, and the stationed angels Wang's Second Legion is only stationed in the upper space and has no right to enter the lower testing site.
The reason for this arrangement is that we don't want the results of the experiment to be leaked to the male ant class. The protagonist did not expect that the male ant class would tolerate the rise of a non-existent class and occupy the resources that originally belonged to them.
Just like every reform in human history, even if the entire country and society has reached the stage where it has to reform or will perish if it does not reform, the original grassroots with vested interests will still tend to be conservative and use their power and status to obstruct reform in every possible way. Even if it ends up pushing the entire country into the abyss.
This is not because vested interests are stupid, but because of their own interests.
Therefore, it is necessary to give the big worker ants a certain social status and allocate them some resources that originally belonged to male and female ants. But how to make the male ant class recognize and accept this new group and agree to share some of the resources? This is The protagonist needs to consider and carry out top-level design.
There is not much time left for the protagonist. This group of large worker ants will soon receive education and be assigned to various technical positions. Their existence cannot always be hidden from the male ants. In the follow-up, the protagonist is also preparing to continue to cultivate more smart worker ants according to the needs of the job.
As a test, the protagonist decided to fly Rambo to the experimental site first to let him know about the existence of large worker ants and the resources required to support them.
The reason why Rambo Fei was chosen is because the protagonist feels that he has a gentler personality and is easy to appease even if there are objections. He will also comply with the protagonist's order to keep it secret for the time being. Moreover, Rambo Fei is the mentor of the young male ants in "East Yang City", and the protagonist wants to hand over part of the education work of the big worker ants to him.
According to the protagonist's request, Rambo flew to the ground alone, and then followed the protagonist into the experimental nest under the poplar tree not far away.
After passing the military camp on the upper level, they entered the only passage connected to the experimental site on the lower level that prohibited other ants from passing through. They soon saw the big worker ants.
With the help of fluorescent bacteria underground, Rambo quickly realized the difference between the big worker ants in front of him and the pale gold worker ants.
However, he was not too surprised at this time, because these two types of ants also exist among parasitic ants, and the protagonist also used parasitic ant pupae to cultivate several large worker ants and pale gold large worker ants, both of which are now in "Dongyang" You can often encounter them in the city.
"Lord God Envoy King, have you cultivated a group of experimental subjects using parasitic ant eggs?" Lan Bofei communicated with the protagonist using his tentacles.
"Out of my responsibilities as a king, I have to remind you that the other party is an enemy. This kind of experiment is dangerous. I hope you will not expand their scale."
The protagonist thought about it and told Lan Bofei that these big worker ants and pale gold worker ants were not the descendants of hostile parasitic ants, but were hatched from worker ant eggs laid by his own queen in "Dongyang City". At the same time, he also talked about the need to consume high-grade food to cultivate and support these large worker ants.
Rambo Fei's reaction was milder than the protagonist expected, but he completely understood the wrong direction.
"I see, this experiment is very meaningful." Rambofei affirmed, and then changed his tune: "I think the young male ants should be provided with more high-end food in the future, which will help their growth."
It turns out that the ratio of high-end food to ordinary food in the food that male ants eat when they are young is one to one, which is consistent with the diet of the large worker ants in Nursery No. 3.
The protagonist then told Rambo Fei that he could adopt this suggestion, but the large worker ants in front of him were not experimental subjects. The protagonist planned to expand their size and give them the same status as the male ants. As a compromise, the big workers did not participate in the control of military power and political power.
Rambo Fei felt a little uncomfortable now. He told the protagonist with dissatisfaction, confusion and panic, "There has never been a worker ant that can be equal to the male ant."
The protagonist communicated with him for a long time, but was unable to convince the other party, which made the protagonist very frustrated. Even if Rambo Fei, who seemed to be relatively gentle, was like this, it goes without saying about the attitudes of other male ants.
Seeing that there was no result, the protagonist could only end the conversation. In the name of "divine decree", he had to ask Rambo Fei to keep the affairs of the big worker ant a secret before letting him leave.
How can we get the male ant grassroots to recognize the legal existence and due rights of the big worker ant class?
