The first part of the knowledge, in addition to the history of the Big-Headed Ant Kingdom, also includes the organizational structure of the Big-Headed Ant Kingdom.

Ant communities in human society, such as a litter of big-headed ants, although there are differences between queens, male ants, soldier ants and worker ants, but this difference is only due to the difference in physiological structure and division of labor, such as the queen ant and male ants are responsible for reproduction, soldier ants are responsible for fighting against the enemy, hunting larger prey and dismembering the prey, and worker ants undertake most of the daily work: building and repairing nests, searching for and carrying food, fighting against the enemy, guarding and patrolling, etc. However, there is no clear command system in this division of labor, whether it is foraging, reproduction or war, all ants act according to genetically determined instincts, and the queen ant and male ants cannot command ordinary soldier ants and worker ants, but when needed, the worker ants will force the queen to lay eggs or move.

But this big-headed ant kingdom is different, and there are already rudiments of the power structure of human civilization. In the kingdom of big-headed ants, the division of labor between soldier ants and worker ants is not much different from that of their counterparts in the human world, but the overall IQ is a notch higher; The queen ant is the main force of reproduction, enjoys good treatment, and although has intelligence comparable to that of male ants, she is only a fertility machine in the kingdom, and has no other power.

The male ant, the least present ant species in the human world's nest, has become a vital player in the ant kingdom.

The males have the best minds in the entire ant colony, and are able to complete complex thinking, communication, and learning actions, becoming the de facto commanders and controllers of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom, as well as the actual creators and maintainers of ant civilization.

The main duty of ordinary male ants, that is, the king, is to lead hundreds of subordinates in battle as a grassroots commander in war, and although they can also command other soldier ants and worker ants on weekdays, they generally do not exercise this power. All newly-born kings are educated by the older kings and learn the knowledge and skills they must master in their kingdom, just as the old king and his elder brother teach the protagonists. In addition to studying, there is also practical education, such as going out hunting, and participating in the war for the first time after the wedding flight. The hunt protagonist has already participated in it once, and it has left a psychological shadow; And the protagonist who participated in the war has not yet caught up, and even the senior brother, although he is the candidate of the oldest king, has not yet participated. Only after the marriage flight can the young king be considered an adult, and he is qualified to participate in the first battle and perform the duties of a military commander. And the wedding flight is different from what the protagonist imagines, instead of a group of male and female ants flying out of the nest to find a mate and mate in the sky. Perhaps the ancestors of the big-headed ants did this, but now the marriage flight has evolved into a ritual, and at the beginning of summer, all the male and female ants in the secondary and main nests of the first sexual maturity will come to the open space outside the main nest to carry out a free mating ceremony, and since the males are far more numerous than the females, only the lucky few males will eventually be able to pass on their genes. After that, all males and females will tear off their wings and return to their nests to become queens and queens, even if they have completed the rite of passage.

The kings of the kingdom are generally old and experienced males, who not only become legion commanders in wartime, but also command armies of several or dozens of kings. In peacetime, the Council of 500 Kings was also responsible for deciding important matters concerning the kingdom, such as accepting the decree of God, deciding on war, dividing new races to build sub-nests, and so on. The king is always stationed in the main nest, and the number is fixed at five hundred, and only when there is a vacancy will it be filled by the ordinary king according to seniority.

There is also a special kind of male ant in the main nest, known as the oldest king, who for unknown reasons tend to live longer than other males, and is often the oldest in the colony, and only they will pass on the legend since ancient times. When the oldest king was alive, he would choose a young male ant with a high level of intelligence as his successor and teach him knowledge and skills. After the death of the eldest king, this successor automatically becomes the new eldest king. But the eldest king is equal to the king in other rights, and cannot command the other kings. The oldest king basically does not go to the outside world to participate in wars.

All males are males, while queens, soldiers, and workers are females. The difference is that queen ants have fully developed reproductive organs, while soldier ants and worker ants do not. The queen ants will also consciously secrete a hormone that can inhibit the development of the reproductive organs of the nest of soldier ants and worker ants. When the number of queens in the nest is insufficient, only the eggs that have been specially placed can develop into new queens without being affected by hormones.

The above is the organizational composition of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom.

In addition, the protagonist is also curious to learn some about the main nest and the secondary nest.

There are more than a dozen queens in the main nest of the current big-headed ant kingdom, one of the oldest kings, five hundred kings, tens of thousands of kings and hundreds of thousands of soldier ants and workers, and the scale is larger than any secondary nest.

There are many kinds of secondary nests, one is the agricultural secondary nest not far from the main nest, there are more than 200. There is only one queen ant and dozens of kings in these secondary nests, and there are thousands of soldier ants and worker ants, and these secondary nests will deliver food to the main nest when the main nest is insufficient, and will also dispatch troops to fight together when the main nest is recruited.

One is the military sub-nest near the Great River, with 28 of them. These secondary nests are the front line against the paving ant barbarians, there are no queens, there are dozens or hundreds of kings, and there are more than 10,000 ants stationed, among which there are many soldier ants and few worker ants, and the food they collect is generally only enough to feed the garrison army. These secondary nests are often destroyed in wars and then rebuilt. Because there is no queen ant, the military secondary nest cannot produce new ants on its own, so it can only rely on the allocation of the main nest to supplement the natural or military ant population loss.

The last type is the secondary nest in remote areas, with more than 100 of them, such as the "Dongyang City Auxiliary Nest". These secondary nests are nests established on newly opened territory because the main nest or other secondary nests are no longer able to support the large number of ants, so they actively migrate the excess ant tissue out of the nest. Due to the distance from the main nest, this kind of secondary nest generally does not transport grain with the main nest, and only has a low degree of communication. Remote secondary nests generally have only one or two queens and a few kings, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands of ants. If the main nest is destroyed, the remote secondary nest will become independent and become the main nest of the new colony, ensuring that the genes of the kingdom can be continued. The history of the Big-Headed Ant Empire has indeed seen such cases where the main nest was destroyed and re-emerged by relying on the secondary nest.
