Chapter 199: Temptation

The status of male ants in the ant society is that of nobles, elders and military commanders, and they not only enjoy the highest food in the entire nest like the females, but also have the same high status as the female ants, as well as political and military power that the female ants do not have.

It can be said that the male ant class is the de facto ruling class of the entire ant, and even though there is a distinction between a king and a great king within it, the nature of the ruler is clear.

At the top of the pyramid of ant society are male ants, and although the two females have the same status, they are excluded from the power layer and can only be ranked second. And the worker ants have almost no power, but they do the most duty, and are at the bottom of the pyramid.

Naturally, the male ant class has become a vested interest in the existing system, and they have taken advantage of their intelligence and status superiority to achieve the domination of the minority over the majority.

These vested interests will also consciously protect the interests and status of their own strata, and they naturally tend to be conservative.

If the protagonist wants to use the wisdom of the big worker ant and the light gold big worker ant, he must allocate the high-grade food that was originally exclusive to the male ant and the female ant, and also give them a high status, which is undoubtedly the cheese of the male ant class.

Although the protagonist does not intend to consume too much advanced food to raise more males in the absence of large worker ants, in the eyes of the male ant class, it is okay to waste advanced food, but it is not okay to give it to other ants of the non-male and female ant class. It's the same with power.

When the parasitic ant offspring were first raised, many kings knew about this because the initial experimental site was in a temporary camp on the shore of the lake, mixed with the residence of the Divine Envoy King's legion.

Their reaction is also fierce, but this is still due to distrust of the hostile ants such as parasitic ants, and the protagonist can only explain that he is studying the enemy's weaknesses, and uses his transcendent god position to barely suppress it.

Even though the big worker ants of these parasitic ant offspring are working in the "Dongyang City" with Xiao Mi, when they encounter male ants, these male ants will still ask the big worker ants to greet them with a low posture of worker ants. It can be seen that the male ants regard the large worker ants as an inferior class.

And the experiment carried out in the nest nursery next to "Dongyang City", the protagonist is carried out secretly at all, and only the protagonist and the worker ants who replenish the materials can enter the entire nest, and the nursery worker ants can only enter but not leave, and the second legion of the Divine Envoy King stationed in the second army is only stationed in the upper space, and has no right to enter the test site on the lower level.

The reason for this arrangement is that I don't want the situation of the experiment to be leaked to the male ant class. The protagonist doesn't expect the male ant class to tolerate a non-existent class rising up and squeezing out the resources that belong to them.

Just like every reform in human history, even if the entire country and society have reached the stage where they have to reform and perish if they do not reform, the original vested interests will still tend to be conservative and use their power and position to obstruct reform in every possible way, even if they eventually push the entire country into the abyss.

It's not that vested interests are stupid, it's motivated by profit.

Therefore, it is certain that the large worker ants should be given a certain social status, and it is certain that some of the resources that originally belonged to the male ants and female ants should be allocated, but how to make the male ant class recognize and accept this new group and agree to share a part of the resources, this is what the protagonist needs to consider and design at the top level.

There is not much time left for the protagonists, and this group of large worker ants will soon be educated and assigned to various technical positions, and their existence cannot be hidden from the male ants all the time. In the follow-up, the protagonist is also ready to continue to cultivate more intelligent workers according to the needs of the post.

As a temptation, the protagonist decides to let Rambo fly to the testing site first, so that he can learn about the existence of the 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 milder personality and is easy to appease even if there is opposition, and will follow the protagonist's orders to keep it secret for the time being. Moreover, Lan Bofei is the mentor of the young male ants in "Dongyang 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 Fei came to the ground alone, and then followed the protagonist into the experimental nest under the poplar tree not far away.

After passing through the barracks on the upper level, and entering the only passage that was connected to the lower test site, which was forbidden for other ants to pass through, they soon saw the large worker ants.

With the help of the fluorescent bacteria underground, Lan Bofei quickly realized the difference between the big worker ant in front of him and the light gold big worker ant.

However, he was not too surprised at this time, because there are also these two types of ants among the parasitic ants, and the protagonist also uses the parasitic ant pupae to breed several large worker ants and light gold large worker ants, which are still often encountered in "Dongyang City".

"Lord Divine Envoy King, have you cultivated a batch of experimental subjects with parasitic ant eggs?" Rambo Fei communicates with the protagonist with his tentacles.

"Out of the king's duty, 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 again."

The protagonist ponders for a moment and tells Rambo Fei that these large worker ants and light gold large worker ants are not the offspring of hostile parasitic ants, but the eggs of worker ants laid by their own queen in "Dongyang City" hatched. At the same time, he also told the story of the need to consume high-grade food to raise and feed these large worker ants.

Rambofei's reaction is a little milder than the protagonist expected, but he completely understands the wrong direction.

"I see, this experiment is very meaningful." Rambo Fei affirmed, and then changed the style: "I think that in the future, young males should be provided with more high-grade food, which will help them grow." ”

It turned out that the ratio of high-grade food to ordinary food in the food eaten by the male ants during the larval period was one to one, which was the same as the diet of the large worker ants in the No. 3 nursery.

The protagonist tells Rambo that he can take the suggestion, but that the large worker ants are not test subjects, and that the protagonist plans to increase their size and give them the same status as the males. As a compromise, the big workers did not participate in the control of military power and power.

Rambo Fei is a little uncomfortable at this time, and he tells the protagonist with dissatisfaction, confusion and panic, "There has never been a worker ant who can be equal to a male ant." ”

The protagonist communicates with him for a long time, but is unable to convince the other party, which makes the protagonist very frustrated - if the seemingly mild-mannered Rambo Fei is still like this, then the attitude of the other males is not to mention.

Seeing that there was no result, the protagonist could only end the conversation, and he had to ask Lan Bofei to keep the matter of the big worker ant secret in the name of "divine will" before letting him leave.

How can the male ant grassroots recognize the legitimate existence and due power of the large worker ant class?
