It's only eight o'clock in the morning, and many hornets have already appeared over the city.

Most of them are medium-sized and yellowish throughout, which is the "Golden Horse" variety, an ordinary household vehicle. Others are petite with orange-red spiral stripes, which are nimble and swift "fireworks" that are the equivalent of a sports car in a hornet. The extraordinarily large and blue-blue ones are the "jasper" varieties that are designed to transport goods, with excellent load-bearing capacity and slightly slower speeds, often flying in the lower layers at low altitudes.

And An Chen's sunspots went on a rampage as soon as they went to the sky.

It flies faster than any other wasp and deliberately flies close to others to disturb the air flow around them. In a few moments, Kuroko had scared several office workers who rode the hornets into screaming, but before they could see what scared their hornets in circles, Kuroko swooped out of the air and headed straight for a farm on the ground.

This farm is where An Chen nominally works.

A few wasps, which had been parked on the petals of the bee stable next to the farm to suck nectar, quickly fled for their lives when they saw the sunspots rushing straight over. Kuroko quickly flapped his wings and slowed down, turned over and threw An Chen to the ground, and then directly occupied the largest flower, burrowed into the core of the flower and ate it happily.

An Chen landed firmly on the ground, receiving the sideways glances of everyone around him, but as if he was just facing the air, he calmly adjusted his fashion cloak and dustproof coat without any distraction, and walked gracefully towards the farm gate.

"What an ordinary day." An Chen said with a smile, swiping his right thumb on the punch card machine.

Her name and work ID were displayed on the screen, and a bucket and a shovel fell in front of her. So she picked up the tools and walked straight to the flower field.

The flowers in the flower field are not as tall as the flowers that feed the wasps, they are specialized crops. The stems are very short, with a crest of flowers, about a meter in diameter, and a core about three-quarters of a meter in diameter, and the corolla is almost completely degenerate, leaving only a circle of six remaining triangular petals.

During the flowering period, the flowers secrete a large amount of pollen and nectar, filling the bell-shaped structure of the entire core, and the collector has to dig them all up.

Anchen enjoys this work, not mainly because she likes flowers or digging things, but because untreated pollen has an inhibitory effect on the production of egg cells. She has to take raw pollen for a long time to make sure that she doesn't ovulate all the time, because it is a problem to deal with those eggs, especially since she has to make sure that the extra eggs do not enter the boy's body when she is doing certain things.

Babies of ordinary citizens – β women and men – are expelled into the "fertility field" after the α female's egg cells mature, and are only born after about 270 days of in vitro development. The fertilized egg cell develops into β female baby, while the unfertilized haploid develops into a male baby. β females are infertile, and do not produce germ cells, while males can produce germ cells, but because they do not produce egg cells that mainly form the cytoplasm of early embryos, they naturally cannot "reproduce partitinity" on their own.

These two genders constitute the working class in the traditional sense, with the government controlling the 1:1 sex ratio of men and β women to maintain the long-standing monogamy of the people. The union of ordinary citizens is not for the purpose of producing offspring, strictly speaking, the "children" they raise are actually their brothers and sisters, but from a genetic point of view, they are only 0.5 kinship coefficients.

However, the baby of a α woman who is fertile must be conceived in the α female mother. This process is quite difficult, and after the birth α of a female offspring in the body, the mother's fertility is often severely impaired and gradually fails. This mechanism also ensures that there will usually only be one α female with fertility in the same human race, which can effectively maintain the homogeneity of the genetic material of the group, so as to produce group altruism from the perspective of the "selfish gene" theory.

However, the homogeneity of genetic material does not mean that everyone looks the same, in fact, the human genome (of the bee kingdom) is very complex, and non-housekeeping genes usually have a large number of copies. Physiognomy is genetically controlled by a series of epigeneally regulated multi-copy genes. They are randomly activated during embryonic development and are also influenced by the acquired environment, resulting in the different physical characteristics of the people of the bee kingdom.

And in addition to the fact that the Holy Mother and the Pope are the most fertile α females, there are many subsidiary families in the Bee Kingdom. These families are passed down from generation to generation by α women, each with a certain area of jurisdiction, and are a remnant of the feudal era when the bee kingdom was not yet unified. However, when the Pope of the Virgin Mary existed, the fertility of the nobility was suppressed, and in order to prevent inbreeding, the heads of those noble families had to marry the offspring of other α women in order to maintain their fertility α female offspring. Otherwise, each generation will become weaker and weaker, and eventually it will be difficult to produce a sufficient number of working classes, resulting in a shortage of labor in the jurisdiction and a stagnation in development.

Of course, not all mammals are like humans.

Any citizen who has received twelve years of compulsory education in the bee kingdom knows that most of the mammals on this planet are still "isolated". That is, the individuals in their community are not produced by one or a few α females, but each female is fertile. Sociological liberal education textbooks in the bee kingdom argue that this difference is the key to the primate being able to emerge from the many mammalian clades and form a functional society.

But even after winning the battle of natural selection, evolution still left its mark on humans. For example, the fertility patterns of ancient ancestors made the egg cells of α females also invasive to tissues.

When the ancients were still ignorant of biology, they discovered that men who had been chosen to go to the palace to be united with the Holy Lady of the Holy Mother would experience varying degrees of pain and bleeding when they returned. At the time, this was considered a "dedication" to the Virgin Mary by superstitious claims, and even regarded it as a symbol of "piety", but in fact it was only an adverse reaction caused by the invasion of egg cells into mucosal tissue.

Now that the bad custom of sending many folk men to the palace to serve the Virgin Mary has long been abolished, such things have rarely happened. Although a normal pope has to parade every year, it is certainly impossible for him to fall in love with the boys on the road casually, so this kind of thing gradually fades into the eyes of the common people.

It's just that in the case of An Chen, α women pretend to be β women to do ordinary work, and they also engage in relationships with boys they know at work, which is unheard of in the two hundred years of history after the unification of the bee kingdom. She must take care of her egg cells to prevent her identity from being exposed.

Therefore, Anchen often eats while digging in the collection work, which can not only inhibit ovulation, but also solve breakfast and lunch without realizing it. This job, which is actually only used to hide people's eyes, is really perfect for her.
