The protagonist comforts the 20 males who have failed again, saying that they can still participate in the wedding ceremony tomorrow, and encourages them to keep up their efforts and eventually succeed one day. Finally, the heartbroken males were coaxed back into the nest.

During this time, Mulan runs back and tells the protagonist that the construction of the entire harem area has been completed and is ready to move in. The ants' houses do not have to be decorated and dispersed like humans, as long as they dig a hole, which is very convenient.

The protagonist praised her, although Mulan is not as smart as Xiao Mi, but she is also slowly growing up, and she can also complete some less complicated work independently.

Later, the protagonist asks the messenger to inform the females to assemble in the conference room, and the protagonist personally arrives in the conference room with the victorious rolling and other twelve male ants.

After all the ants have arrived, the male and female ants stand in two separate rows according to the protagonist's request.

The protagonist then tells them the rules of pairing: the males choose their favorite females in order of the wedding ceremony. Females can refuse to mate with males, and if they don't, they are considered successful.

The reason why it is so complicated is that the protagonist wants to subtly change the inherent concepts of these ants. In his opinion, although these ants have the dawn of civilization, they still have a lot of cold-blooded and cruel customs, which are no different from their ancestors millions of years ago.

Such as cruel wedding flight ceremonies, fierce queen ant infighting, and so on. The protagonist hopes to use the authority of God to change this situation through a new type of wedding ceremony. In short, he wants the ants to be a little more human.

The males and females quickly understood how to do it, and that's where the ants communicated. The protagonist only needs to visualize the imaginary process, which can be quickly passed on to the other party.

Although the ants did not understand the meaning of such a complicated matching, they did so at the request of the Divine Messenger King.

The first person to choose is roll, he hesitates, and as the protagonist expected, chooses the little female ant who has fought side by side with him. The little female ant does not refuse, so the protagonist announces that the two of them have been successfully paired and waits on the side first. This is the first pair to successfully hold hands.

The male ants in the back also choose to match with each other, and the protagonist carefully studies their preferences and discovers an interesting phenomenon.

Malants give preference to females with larger bellies, because these females have developed ovaries so that their bellies are stretched out, and they obviously have an advantage in terms of fertility. It seems that male ants also have a preference for "big butts and good birth" like humans.

None of the females objected or refused, and whoever chose them accepted it all the same. These female ants also had no autonomy in the previous marriage and flight ceremonies, and could only be passively chased by the male ants and semi-forced to complete the mating, and now they are suddenly given the right to choose, and they don't know how to exercise it.

It's not easy for the protagonist to forcibly let these female ants exercise their veto power, and it seems that there is still a long way to go to change customs.

But overall, the pairing ceremony was a ceremony of success, a ceremony of victory, a ceremony of unity. Without the slightest fight or bloodshed, the pairing of twelve couples was completed, thus ushering in a new era for the marriage system of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom.

The protagonist announces that twelve couples will be sent into the cave room, so the protagonist personally leads the way in front, and the newcomers follow behind for unknown reasons, and are taken to the newly built harem area.

The protagonist sends them to the exclusive queen's dormitory for the night, and asks the newlyweds to stay in it for one night or not be allowed to come out.

It can't be helped, it only takes a few seconds for the ants to mate. But since it is a change of customs, such a commemorative wedding night, the groom can't run away after a few seconds. The protagonist can only ensure the integrity of the ritual by mandatory orders. Anyway, the queen ant's bedroom is big enough to stay.

The protagonist gives each couple who is about to spend candles in the cave three chapters: mating must be completed, no fights are allowed, and the male ants can not leave until dawn.

After that, the protagonist can finally go back to rest after a hard day's work.

It's really tiring to be an ant king, you have to take care of eating, drinking, and fighting, and you have to teach you to get married and have children from scratch. The protagonist complains so much in his heart.

Because he was too tired, the protagonist slept until the next day. After waking up and asking for the time, the protagonist hurriedly asked Mulan to go to the various queen bedrooms to inquire about the information.

After the protagonist has breakfast, Mulan also comes back with the information she has spooked.

According to the females, the males run away at dawn, and staying with the females all night makes them a little uncomfortable. After all, what can be done in a few seconds has to be teased back and forth for hours, and it is really difficult for these male ants.

After Mulan's examination, the female ants have successfully fertilized, and as long as they adjust their body functions to production mode for a few days, they can start laying eggs.

The protagonist estimates that the production capacity of the big-headed queen ant is only one-third of that of the paving ant queen, but a full twelve queen ants can lay 4,000 eggs a day if they are at full power. In other words, as long as there is enough food, there will theoretically be about 1.5 million ants in Dongyang City in a year's time.

Of course, due to food restrictions, the current "Dongyang City" can only support a maximum of 20,000 or 30,000 ants, and this is still without keeping food.

In fact, since the big-headed ants cannot go out to forage for food in winter, they can only hide in their nests to eat and store food, so the maximum population size of "Dongyang City" has to be reduced by a quarter.

There is strength in numbers, and the same is true in the number of ants. The protagonist thinks that if he wants to expand the city, he must have access to a wider range of food sources.

The protagonist wants to solve the food problem of the ants, and one way to refer to it is to turn the ants' gathering and hunting and foraging into agricultural production, in whole or in part.

When human ancestors were in the stage of gathering and hunting in primitive societies, the global population remained in the hundreds of thousands for a long time. It wasn't until they learned how to grow and herd that the global human population experienced an explosive increase.

There is actually a certain amount of agriculture among ants, such as leaf-cutting ants will collect plants to grow fungi for food, big-headed ants use ant manure to grow fluorescent fungi, and most ants will graze aphids.

However, except for the cultivation of leaf-cutting ants, the agriculture of other ants can only play a small role in supplementing food. The method of planting fungi in leaf-cutting ants is not clear to the protagonist, but it seems to be quite complicated.
