After Li Xu became independent, the family suddenly became a lot colder.

"This is already a house, not a home." Li Mu decided to move to the company.

Li Mu works for Qingluan, a sperm bank that not only provides frozen sperm but also provides IVF technical services. 16 years ago, 16-year-old Li Mu was inseminated in this company and finally gave birth to Li Su. Afterwards, I felt that the service quality of this company was good, and Li Mu joined Qingluan Company and became the CEO of Qingluan Company after 10 years of struggle.

"Executive, 1% of sperm inactivated in freezer No. 1 was found." Cai Yi, the director of operations, sent a report.

"Does inactivation mean that it can't be used at all?" Li Mu frowned slightly.

"Yes."

"What about the rest of the stock?" Li Mu rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers.

"It's okay for now, but I'm worried that sooner or later the other stocks will be deactivated." Caiyi worried.

"But now the man is gone." Li Mu said helplessly.

"The Atlanteans might have a stock of sperm that you can buy from them." Caiyi thinks of humans on the other side of the world.

"Their men disappeared earlier than here, and they couldn't have been better off than we were. Don't let the news out just yet. I'm going on a business trip, and I'll take care of everything. After Li Mu finished speaking, he began to order tickets to Liao Neicheng.

The outermost ring in the west of New Fuzhou City, 10 meters underground. There is a huge underground station with two floors of 30 meters each, with the upper deck for passengers and the lower deck for freight. The station is seamlessly connected to the city tram, and you can take the escalator directly down to the passenger level when you get off the tram.

The intercity train that Li Musuo takes adopts magnetic levitation, and the track is a closed structure that is semi-buried underground. Through the glass cover outside the track, you can see the vast tundra, and under the blue-purple sky is a neat field of indigo. Without ozone protection, mosses evolved to be rich in indigo pigments in order to protect themselves from intense ultraviolet rays. Indigo pigment absorbs additional ultraviolet rays, thereby protecting the chloroplasts of mosses. Just like the alpine plants of 300 years ago, alpine plants have intense solar radiation and can only produce blue-violet pigments to protect themselves.

Between the tundra there are countless caves, and the caves ** are pools in which there is an amphibious octopus. This octopus has evolved book lungs that breathe oxygen in the air and are able to land on land. However, the delicate skin cannot be separated from the protection of water, so it can only live like amphibian vertebrate frogs. It is the largest animal outside of the city outside of the city, after humans, and is about the size of a puppy.

The maglev train drove quickly to Liao Nei City, and 40 minutes later, Li Mu arrived at Liao Nei City, 400 kilometers away. Unlike the jagged glass cover of the new Fuzhou City, the city of Liaonei resembles a transparent eggshell. The fiberglass and steel frame form a dome, the dome is up to 200 meters, and the building under the dome can be freely demolished and rebuilt. However, the new Fuzhou City needs to close and demolish the surrounding area of the building before it can be demolished and rebuilt, which is extremely troublesome. Radiant rainwater flows directly into the sewer from the pillars that support the dome, which can be easily replaced. This eggshell dome in Riau is so beautiful that it looks like a giant artificial egg half-buried in the ground from a distance in the sun.

Engineers from the New Universe Architectural Company who designed and built the dome also won the Pritzker Prize. The architect is an 18-year-old new genius named Zhang Ke.

"I haven't seen it for four years, and the city of Liao Nei has built such a beautiful dome." Li Mu couldn't help but exclaim.

"It's just a work of art." The person next to me also exclaimed, "This design is especially suitable for space." ”

"Are you in the space industry?" Li Mu found that the woman next to him was a blonde Atlantean, with deep eyes and a high nose bridge that was impressive.

"Hello! My name is Tina, and this is my business card. Tina called up her business card and handed the tablet to Li Mu.

Li Mu took the tablet and saw that it showed that Tina was 35 years old, the marketing director of Spaceone, 170 cm tall, and had a contact ID.

"Hello! My name is Li Mu. Li Mu also handed out his business card.

"Are you going to open up the space market?" At the time of the mass extinction, it was aerospace that saved the last bit of fire for mankind, so now human beings have an inexplicable affection for astronautics. Wealthy people love spacecraft travel, and the hot market has stimulated the emergence of more space companies. One of them is Spaceone, which accounts for 60% of Atlantis Confederation's launch business. Now the marketing director appears in Riau City, which is undoubtedly a message to open up new markets.

"Frankly, yes. Your confederation market is still very impressive, and we would like to give it a try. "Tina is open and honest, and she wants to make friends with the locals as soon as possible so that she can start her business. For this reason, she also spent a year learning new Chinese, and the results were so remarkable that Li Mu would even think that she was a new Han if she didn't look at Tina's face.

Li Mu remembered that Caiyi, the director of operations, proposed to buy sperm from the Atlanteans, so he asked Tina, "Tina, I want to ask one thing." What is your Confederacy's sperm bank? ”

"Oh~ why do you want to ask about this thing?" Tina's brows furrowed slightly, the South China Confederation and the Atlantis Confederation are two independent political alliances, although they are both humans, but the relationship between them is not close enough to reveal the sperm bank situation at will.

Li Mu thought about it for a while, Qingluan Company is an old brand, if there is a problem with Qingluan Company, then other companies will definitely not be fine, after all, the validity period of frozen sperm is limited. If the Atlantean Confederation developed a solution to the new source of sperm, the South China Federation could also buy it and save the Han Chinese, but what if the Atlanteans chose conservative technology and left the Han people to fend for themselves. At present, it is not easy to disclose the information about the inactivation of frozen sperm of the new Han people.

"I just like your blonde and blue-eyed very much, and I wonder if I can buy some sperm to get pregnant and have a blonde daughter." Li Mu pretended to be embarrassed.

"I see, but it seems that there is already reproductive isolation between the two of us. There were a few Han Chinese immigrants in Kurou, but the Atlantean sperm they bought could not form embryos and could not conceive. Tina said.

"And such things. Unexpectedly, in just about 300 years, humans were separated into two different species. Li Mu sighed. If this is the case, it is even more impossible to tell the other party about the inactivation of the sperm bank.

The maglev train arrived at the station soon, and Li Mu and Tina parted kindly.

The tram tracks in Riau city are spaced only one kilometer apart, and the distance between stations is also one kilometer. It is smaller than the two-kilometer interval in New Fuzhou City, and the transportation in the city is more convenient.

Li Mu stepped on the balance car and drove out of the intercity train, and saw the big banner with "Li Mumeimei" on it at a glance.

"Two two goods." Li Mu scolded with a secret smile.

"Hey! Shepherd, here. Two women stood under the banner in the distance, one of whom was shouting at Li Mu.

These two people are Li Mu's friends Chiyo and Lin Li. Chiyo is 30 years old, with an orange ball head, 165 cm tall, CEO of Norin Arms Company, known as the "Queen of Arms". Lin Li is 33 years old, with long pink hair, a cute baby face and big round eyes, because she is 155 cm tall, she is often regarded as Lori, and she is the CEO of the future company.

"Long time no see, Lil!" As soon as Li Mu met, he gave Lin Li a hug.

"Long time no see, Lil!" Chiyo smiled and hugged him.

"You're so annoying! Go back and hug. Lin Li smiled, breaking free from the embrace of the two.

"Mu'er finally came once, and we both took leave, just to have a good time with you." Chiyo took Li Mu's hand, "The banquet has been set, we won't get drunk or return." ”

"Don't mind, I'm here to get down to business." Li Mu hurriedly said that she came to Liao Neicheng to inactivate the sperm bank, not for vacation.

"What's the matter? Makes you so serious. Chiyo put away her smile, she knew that as long as Li Mu said it was a serious matter, it would definitely be a big deal.

"The sperm freezer of our Qingluan company has begun to inactivate, which means that the frozen sperm of human beings has begun to reach the expiration date." Li Mu looked solemn, took out his company's investigation report and handed it to the two friends.

"It's too important." Chiyo's expression also became solemn.

"Lil, your company should have a solution." Li Mu asked.

Lin Li's future company is currently the largest group in Liao Neicheng, or Liao Neicheng is built by the future company, covering Liao Neicheng food, transportation, medical care, security, life and other businesses, with the largest biological cell laboratory in Liao Neicheng, in Li Mu's heart is the only laboratory in the South China Confederacy that has the strength to solve the problem of female reproduction. If there is no solution in their laboratory, then the new Han people are waiting to perish.

"It's a company secret. However, it can be revealed that it is possible to maintain human reproduction, but only to maintain it. Lin Li hesitated, but still said it.

"Is it a clone?" Li Mu himself is the general manager of Qingluan Company, and he still knows some knowledge.

"Not a clone. Cloning does not bring about genetic recombination of human beings, but only delays the extinction of human beings. Moreover, the lifespan of clones is much shorter than that of normal people, but they have to be raised from a young age like normal people. It is impossible to breed an adult directly. Lin Li shook her head.

"Is it parthenogenesis? Is it possible to allow humans to do parthenogenesis? Li Mu continued to speculate.

"Parthenogenesis is sexual reproduction, which is not as good as intersex, but it is far better than cloning. However, at present, only lower animals can achieve parthenogenesis, and humans cannot achieve it at present. However, it is not excluded that parthenogenesis can be achieved in the future. This is also a promising route at the moment. Lin Li personally agrees with this solution, but.

"But parthenogenesis is the development of secondary oocytes into embryos, although it is also sexual reproduction. However, it is equivalent to self-breeding, which is more detrimental to humans than inbreeding. Humans are more susceptible to genetic diseases. Chiyo suddenly interjected.

Chiyo was right. However, if the sperm runs out, it can only be like this, but unfortunately it can't be done for the time being. Helplessly, there are only women left in the world, and they will eventually become extinct. Lin Li sighed.

"Semi-cloned?" Li Mu used the elimination method to get the last option.

"Yes, but I can't go into too much detail. This technique is not as good as parthenogenesis, but it is much better than simple cloning. It's barely able to sustain human reproduction. Lin Li agreed, Li Mu was worthy of Li Mu's guess.

As long as there are measures, it will not be enough to sit and wait for death. I wonder if the Atlanteans are also the solution? Thinking of the Atlanteans, Li Mu thought of the reproductive isolation that the blonde and blue-eyed beauty Tina met today.

"Li'er, are we new Han people reproductively isolated from the Atlanteans?"

"Yes, our company discovered decades ago that we couldn't conceive with their frozen sperm, and after investigation, it was found that researchers confirmed that humans had officially differentiated into two species. However, for fear of causing social panic and racial exclusion, we did not release the news. Lin Li said.

"Why didn't you say it earlier? Since we are not of the same species as them, we should have informed everyone sooner. You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people! Chiyo said unpleasantly. As CEO of Norin Arms, she is extremely sensitive to war.

"The last mass extinction was caused by humans, and we don't want to cause a racial vendetta and lead humanity into the abyss again." Lin Li also has her own difficulties.

"Well, everybody's for the good of humanity. Let's eat first, I'm dying of hunger. Li Mu hugged the two girlfriends and said with a smile.

"You must not get drunk and not go home! I'm going to kill you both. Chiyo lost her unhappiness and said heartily.

"Hmph, I don't know who is drunk." Lin Li Bai Chiyo glanced at her, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.
