Chapter 580: Strangulation is better than guidance

These words caused an uproar among many strong people.

"Chu Ge, are you saying that the rat clan will gradually weaken its impulse to reproduce with the continuous development of the economy and society, just like humans?" Yu Changhu asked.

"Yes, this is what I have seen with my own eyes, and there are already signs of this among the rat clan."

Chu Ge said, "According to my observations, those ordinary rats who are still muddy and have not opened the door to wisdom are left alone, at least among the nobles of the Long Fang Kingdom, there has been another option that is diametrically opposed to 'crazy reproduction and infinite expansion'.

"When I was in the Tooth Kingdom, I once met two strong rat people, one called 'Golden Tail' and the other called 'Cat Eater', of which Golden Tail is a believer in the traditional 'more children and more blessings, rat sea tactics', emphasizing quantity over quality, while cat eaters advocate eugenics and breeding, trying to beat quantity with quality.

"Two rat clans, representing two different choices,-for-tat, stalemate, among them, the offspring of cat eaters are naturally far less than ordinary mice, and the golden tail keeps saying that it wants to breed wildly, but according to my observation, its offspring is actually not as many as ordinary mice."

Many strong people whispered again, and President Yu frowned: "Even so, there is no guarantee that the choice of 'cat eater' will become the mainstream of the rat civilization, what if they still choose the path of 'Golden Tail'?" ”

"In that regard, I have confidence in cat eaters."

Chu Ge said, "You know, the rat clan evolved from ordinary mice, and at the beginning, they must have followed the instinctive drive, and under the condition that the resources can be guaranteed, they will breed frantically and expand indefinitely, and in this case, they can give birth to cat eaters who advocate the existence of 'eugenics', and it has also become a climate, which can compete with the old forces of 'more children and more blessings', which shows that this is the choice of rational thinking after the rat clan awakens its wisdom."

Then, as their civilization progresses, their primitive instincts become weaker and weaker, and their rational thinking gradually increases, eugenics is simply an inevitable result.

"If you think of yourself as a rat with intelligence and emotion, you should know.

"In the past, in the muddy, dark and obscurantist stage, the mouse was just a flesh and blood machine, an instinctive puppet, and it was only in an unconscious state that it would reproduce wildly, and there would not be too many special feelings for its own flesh and blood.

"However, once they have awakened their wisdom and ego, and their love for licking calves has grown, how can they continue to use bloodlines as a tool for expansion?

"We take common sense to measure, every intelligent life with emotions will always hope that their offspring will become stronger and stronger, smarter and smarter, and even happier and happier, then, he will always do his best to invest a lot of resources in his offspring, and gradually replace 'quantity' with 'quality', which is the problem of 'cost of survival' and 'cost of upbringing'."

"The cost of survival and the cost of parenting?"

The more Guan Shanzhong listened, the more interesting he felt, and he couldn't wait to say, "Chu Ge, explain." ”

"Why do people in poor societies and war-torn areas feel that they are 'blessed with more children', because their raising costs are extremely low, and many children do not have more than one pair of chopsticks, so they don't need to receive any education at all, and even if they die, there is no regret."

Chu Ge said, "However, in the busy and highly developed modern metropolis, not only do people have to master ten times more skills and consume longer working hours than in the past in order to survive...... A combination of factors has created the curse of the declining birthrate in large cities.

"The same reasoning makes sense when applied to the rat people.

"Ordinary mice, simple-minded, as long as they find a huge garbage dump, enough for them to live 'carefree' for a lifetime, what can they do except grind their teeth all day long, of course, they can only reproduce day and night, and the bred mice, do not need to learn any mysterious and complicated survival skills, just grow to the size of a few months, you can enter the next round of reproduction cycle.

"However, according to my observations, this is not the case with the rat people who have awakened their wisdom.

"You see, building and defending a kingdom is a lot of work.

"The rat slaves have to raise earthworms, take care of the luminous botanical garden, build city walls, dig tunnels, act as cannon fodder, and be responsible for all kinds of heavy and dangerous work.

"As for the guinea pigs of the aristocratic class, they seem to be high and very imposing, but in fact, the work they undertake and the competition with each other are not much less than that of slave soldiers.

"First of all, they have to seize the precious opportunity to absorb the aura of heaven and earth to cultivate, awaken and control all kinds of superpowers - you know, even if we humans awaken superpowers and want to use them proficiently, they need expert guidance and long-term boring training, not to mention the inexperienced rat clan who groped alone.

"Secondly, in addition to cultivating alone, the rat clan also has to form battle formations, cooperate with the army to drill, learn how to use spears, short swords, war knives, firecrackers and even grenades, each weapon needs a long time of contact in order to exert its absolute power between their short limbs.

"On this basis, the rat clan also has to learn the language, understand all kinds of court etiquette and social habits, a lot of strange rules, even I feel dizzy when I hear it, how can the newborn rat clan learn within three or five months?

"I haven't mentioned the competition between the rat clans, right, in fact, the rudiments of private ownership have appeared in the Fang Kingdom, at least each family has its own private property, and the competition between them is very fierce, in this case, an ambitious rat clan, who must have invested most of his time, energy and resources in his own strength, how can he spend a lot of time giving birth to offspring? Even if he spares no effort to give birth to one hundred and eighty offspring, if he doesn't educate him well, he is no different from an ordinary mouse, what is the use?

"In short, according to my observations, as well as the information I have obtained from the mouths of the rat clan, a qualified citizen of the Long Fang Kingdom, the cultivation cycle always takes several years, many strong people of the rat clan are obsessed with boiling their muscles and bones, Yu Meise is not very concerned, and the number of blood descendants is less than ten, there are many rats."

It was the first time for many strong people to hear the details about the Long Fang Kingdom, and they all had a sense of refreshment.

Guan Shan thought about it again and said: "There is such a thing, the rat clan has cultivated to the point that it can even ignore reproduction, it is really exactly the same as humans, but, in addition to these awakened wisdom rat clans, after all, there are tens of thousands of ordinary rats, the powerhouses of the Tooth Kingdom, can't you find these ordinary rats to give birth, you know, a male rat and a hundred female rats can still form a rat group." ”

"Major Guan, I'm afraid you have a certain misunderstanding of the aesthetic taste of the rat clan in the Fang Kingdom."

Chu Ge said, "The rat clan has never regarded ordinary rats as their own kind, they look at ordinary rats as if we look at apes, I believe that no matter how hungry the guy is, he will not regard apes as targets, right?" ”

In a word, everyone laughed.

Guan Shanzhong also laughed, shook his head and said, "How can it be the same, at least there is no reproductive isolation between the rat clan and ordinary mice, right?" ”

"That's right."

Chu Ge said, "However, according to my observations, the wisdom and superpowers of the rat clan are related to genetic optimization, and the nobles are willing to marry the nobles to obtain the possibility of genetic mutations.

"Moreover, the rat clan was stimulated by the aura before the tradition of a long-term patriarchal society, and migrated to the civilized world in advance, the status of the female rat clan, the wisdom and combat effectiveness are not low, and it is difficult for the male rat clan to force the female rat clan, so that they become a tool for breeding.

"I think that with the further enlightenment of the rat civilization, especially our human civilization can give them a certain degree of guidance, for example, if the advanced, excellent, and open feminist ideas on our side are introduced into the rat tribe, the fertility willingness of the rat civilization is likely to decline further, at least it is absolutely not high."
