After careful consideration, the protagonist decided to let these big worker ants and light gold worker ants follow him to learn some theoretical knowledge.
This theoretical knowledge includes both theoretical knowledge such as elementary mathematics and practical knowledge in specific crafts.
Later, this group of big worker ants and light gold worker ants followed the secretary to various working places in "Dongyang City" for internships and gained practical experience.
After half a year of study, towards the end of autumn, these big worker ants and light gold worker ants have completed all their studies. Among this group of ants, due to their IQ, the large worker ants have a stronger ability to understand and apply knowledge than the large worker ants.
All in all, they have received education much longer than the male ants, and they are basically taught by the protagonist himself with great pains and pains. It can be said that these big worker ants and the light gold worker ants are the most knowledgeable ants in the world who understand the protagonist's thoughts best.
Although the knowledge they master is still relatively rudimentary, for example, in terms of mathematics, they have reached the level of human primary school students, and in terms of craftsmanship, they are equivalent to humans in the Neolithic Age, but this already symbolizes that the fire of civilization is burning brightly.
After these big worker ants and light-gold worker ants completed their studies, the protagonist was not in a hurry to assign them to various positions that urgently needed technical personnel.
Instead, two schools were built, located not far from the nursery in "Dongyang City". Each school can accommodate about one hundred students. One school is named "Elementary Technical School" and has forty large worker ants as teachers; the other "Secondary Technical School" has forty large gold-plated workers as teachers. Worker ants as teachers.
The protagonist decided to use all the first batch of large worker ants and pale gold large worker ants as teachers. This was a decision made after careful consideration. In this way, the second generation of students can be trained as quickly as possible, and the protagonist can avoid spending all his time on teaching.
Of course, the quality of the students taught by the protagonist's students will definitely not be as good as those taught by the protagonist himself, but they can be trained in a targeted manner according to work needs, and they do not need to be trained into all-round talents. On average, one teacher only teaches two students, which can also improve the quality of teaching.
In addition, the protagonist also plans to gather the best teachers and future technicians to establish a "higher technical school", but this is a future plan and the conditions are not yet met.
After having enough teachers, the protagonist asked the queen ant to lay two hundred worker ant eggs, preparing to cultivate them into a large worker ant class.
Of the two hundred worker ant eggs, one hundred will be cultivated into large worker ants according to the food ratio in nursery No. 3, and the other hundred will be cultivated into large pale gold worker ants according to the food ratio in nursery No. 5.
These big worker ants and pale gold big worker ants will first receive education from the "elementary technical school", and then the big workers will graduate and be assigned to various positions. The Danjin workers will continue to receive education from "secondary technical schools" before being distributed.
Now that there is a technical school, the protagonist simply institutionalizes the education of young males and builds a "political and military school".
The only students in this school are young male ants - the male ant class will not allow other classes to learn this kind of knowledge.
This school is slightly larger than the technical school and can accommodate two hundred students at the same time, including one ordinary class and one flying knight class. However, there are very few teachers in the political and military school. The teacher in the ordinary class is Lan Bofei, and an older male ant who has retired from the Legion of the God Envoy King assists him. The teacher of the flying knight class is Flying Eagle, and other flying knights also come back to teach when they are free.
In order to facilitate teaching, all three schools have built cobblestone floors according to conference room standards.
——I am the dividing line——
It's late autumn in the blink of an eye, and the weather is getting colder day by day. The ants are busy taking advantage of the last time to collect all kinds of food to prepare for the harsh winter.
Thanks to agricultural progress, there is no shortage of food for the winter in "Dongyang City" this year.
The scale of mealworm and fly maggot farms has not been further expanded because the current scale is enough to support the meat consumption of the existing ant colonies, and even the cured meat produced has far exceeded the needs of winter. Even if mealworms and flies stop growing and reproducing in winter, there is no need to worry about a lack of meat.
Under the instructions of the protagonist, the worker ants, led by the big worker ants and the pale gold worker ants who are engaged in technical work, began to select the ones with the fastest growth rate and the largest number of eggs from the huge number of mealworms based on their shapes. , the most delicious succulent insect. Only these selected mealworms can grow and reproduce after next spring.
In addition, technicians also began to study the feed ratio. In the past, various food residues, young vegetable leaves, grass seeds, etc. were simply thrown into the farms, causing some mealworms to suffer from indigestion, slow growth, and even illness and death. The protagonist is determined to change this situation, but the most scientific feed ratio is still being explored, and it seems that it will take some time.
The first wave of wild grasses planted near the exit of "Dongyang City" was harvested in the summer. A large number of grass seeds were planted to supplement the insufficient amount of grass seeds collected. Then the ants took advantage of the warm weather to clear the fields, sow more grass seeds, and harvest a second batch of grain in the fall.
Compared with animal husbandry, the planting industry has just started, but technicians have already begun to study topics such as planting density, field weeding, fertilization and irrigation under the guidance of the protagonist.
The progress and development in agriculture are obvious to all, and industry has not stopped either.
Originally, only the secretary was responsible for the technological research project. Since the big worker ants and the pale gold worker ants hatched from the parasitic ant pupae joined in, the progress has been greatly accelerated, and there is no need for the protagonist to run around every day to do it himself. After the second batch of students from technical schools joins, this speed will accelerate.
Although there has been no breakthrough in craft technology at present, the protagonist has pointed out the direction of subsequent development: stone tool technology, more advanced pottery making techniques, tools and vehicles suitable for ants, etc.
The protagonist believes that over time, advanced technology will be a strong support for "Dongyang City".
——I am the dividing line——
In the past half year, the overall external situation of "Dongyang City" has been relatively peaceful.
After expelling the parasitic ant forces, there are no more hostile forces near "Dongyang City" that can threaten us. Although the parasitic ants have not been completely eradicated, the flying knights can't find any trace of them after searching everywhere. The protagonist is not sure whether they are hiding and developing silently, or whether they have failed in the fierce competition for survival.
On the other hand, the defenders of the "Stump Fortress" had some small-scale conflicts with the nearby scythe ants. After the parasitic ants disappeared, the scythe ants' power expanded rapidly. They continued to split into new groups and seize the opportunity for the parasitic ants to leave. Later, they vacated the territory and finally came to the vicinity of "Stump Fortress".
