Of course, the protagonist did not master the specific operation methods of such complex experiments, but just by virtue of his knowledge of high school biology, which he had good grades in at the beginning, he was able to design a set of tests consisting of a few experiments such as conditioned reflex experiments and circuitous path experiments.

The test was divided into six groups, and in addition to the worker ants growing in nurseries 1 to 5, a group of adult worker ants from the general nursery also participated in the test.

After a series of experiments and continuous fine-tuning of the experimental content based on practical experience, the protagonist gradually has the answer in his mind.

The intelligence level of the worker ants in the No. 1 nursery is the same as that of the ordinary worker ants, and they are able to pass the conditioned reflex experiment, and they will also constantly look for ways to overcome the obstacle in the roundabout path experiment.

Overall, the protagonist believes that if the IQ of male ants is analogous to that of humans, the IQ of worker ants is the same as that of gorillas.

It's hard to imagine that two ants with such a huge difference in intelligence are actually the same species. However, ants are internally differentiated creatures, which is why a small number of males and females can dominate a nest made up of the majority of worker ants.

Fortunately, although the intelligence level of the worker ants is not high, the work they undertake is not very demanding on mental power, and the worker ants who have just broken the pupa do not even need to be educated like the male ants, and only rely on the instinct imprinted in the genes to complete the work at hand. After countless practices, it only improved their skill proficiency.

The large worker ants bred in the No. 2 and No. 3 nurseries have a slight difference in size, but there is not much difference in intelligence level.

Although there are no adult males to use as a frame of reference, the protagonist has had experience with the newly broken pupa rolling and Rambo flying, and he believes that the intelligence level of these large worker ants is the same as that of the males.

If in the future learning and education, the large worker ants in the No. 2 and No. 3 nurseries can also grasp the knowledge that can only be mastered by learning the day after tomorrow like the male ants, then it is very important good news for the protagonist.

After all, it takes more resources to train a male ant than a large worker ant, and the male ants also have some inexplicable superiority in the eyes of the protagonist, and they will not engage in any work outside of military and politics.

And the most pleasing thing for the protagonist is the adult pale gold worker ants in the nursery, No. 4 and No. 5, all of which can easily pass the simple experiments designed by the protagonist. And after the protagonist's whimsical idea injects the knowledge of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and even the Pythagorean theorem into their minds through information packets, only ten days later, these pale gold workers have been able to master these mathematical knowledge.

It is not so rare to say that male ants can also master the basic mathematical ability of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and can skillfully apply it to troop statistics and battle results summary. The Pythagorean theorem is a profound theoretical knowledge.

The Pythagorean theorem is one of the most important tools for solving geometric problems with algebraic ideas, and it is also one of the links that combine numbers and shapes. It is one of the most proven theorems among mathematical theorems, and it is also one of the important mathematical theorems discovered and proven earlier in human history.

But this was discovered earlier, after millions of years of ignorance. In China, Shang Gao during the Shang Dynasty proposed a special case of the Pythagorean theorem of "Pythagorean Ox Three Strands and Four Xuan Five". In the West, Pythagoras of ancient Greece was the first to propose and prove this theorem in the 6th century BC, who deductively proved that the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of two right angles.

And a group of light gold workers who have just reached adulthood and are still blank sheets of paper, and they have not even mastered basic mathematical knowledge before, and they can learn such advanced theories from the protagonist not long after learning addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Although this mastery is still very primitive, the method of learning through information packets is also a bit tricky.

Moreover, the numerical concept of these light gold workers is still aimed at natural numbers such as one, two, three, four, which can be counted directly, and the meaning of square roots cannot be understood. Therefore, they can understand the hook three strands, four strings and five, and they are confused when hooking one strand and one string root number two.

However, this is already a very terrifying IQ and learning ability.

Specifically, the average intelligence level of the light gold workers in the No. 5 nursery room is slightly stronger than that in the No. 4 nursery, which seems to be really a return on investment, and no cost can be saved.

- I'm the dividing line -

After the results of the experiment came out, the protagonist was extremely excited.

The three major constraints that the protagonist has been worried about and that plague the subsequent development of "Dongyang City": innovation drive, intelligence and size, with the emergence of this group of worker ants with high IQ, at least two bottlenecks can be broken.

Needless to say, the bottleneck of intelligence is also closely related to the bottleneck of innovation and the level of intelligence.

Only intelligent beings such as human beings will have the motivation to constantly pursue technological and organizational progress in order to create better and more comfortable living conditions, as well as to protect the comfort of life.

And ordinary creatures in a mess are just trying to survive and reproduce all their lives, and they don't take the initiative to do any innovation.

But now, with such a group of worker ants, they may not be too numerous, but they can be trained as scientific researchers, educators and senior technicians, and when "Dongyang City" has a certain scale of these technicians, it can appear like the human world to promote innovation spontaneously, and no longer have to rely on the protagonist's personal work.

How to house these large worker ants and light gold large worker ants? The protagonist feels the need to plan it himself.

For this reason, he put off all the work at hand and locked himself in the dormitory, not only could he not eat or drink, but he even ignored the news that the "Stump Fortress" had been attacked by small-scale hunting sickle ants.

These days, the protagonist's only concern is how to place these precious large worker ants and light gold large worker ants.

There are only 20 large worker ants and light gold large worker ants in this batch, but according to the current material production of "Dongyang City", it is estimated that "Dongyang City" can still supply about 400 large worker ants and light gold large worker ants to survive.

If the supply of high-grade food for adult males, queens, large workers and light-gold workers is reduced, the saved high-grade food can also breed more large-scale workers and light-gold workers.

However, how many large worker ants and light gold worker ants are needed in "Dongyang City"? If there are not enough jobs to house these "high-level intellectuals", they can play no better role than ordinary worker ants, but the resources consumed are much higher.

There is also a crucial question that the protagonist does not dare to treat sloppily - them male ants, and how does the queen ant view and coexist with the big worker ants?
