Human beings have become smaller in the last days

"Hey, is the Institute of Zoology so close?" Song Yi was a little surprised. Normally, the Institute of Zoology should not be so close to the Institute of Drugs. After all, when the furnace is exploded, it may stimulate mutant animals, and those mutant animals are not that good. Domesticated.

"It wasn't here originally. Isn't it because the Institute of Botany needs animals to study surrogate flowers? Moreover, the Institute of Zoology also wanted to get some surrogate flowers, so it moved here." Lou Yu said.

"How is the research on surrogate flowers?" Song Yi asked when she heard the name. The last time she heard this name was half a year ago.

"I heard that they have started to reproduce. All the animals born from the surrogate flower have been tested and there are no plant genes in their bodies. The Institute of Botany is going to study it for a few more generations. Once it is confirmed that there is no problem, it will start large-scale breeding." Lou Yu said: "Why do you care about this? By the way, it seems that you sent the surrogacy flower."

"I also discovered it by accident." Song Yi said.

"Thanks to what you discovered, women no longer have to worry about returning to the fertility tool period before." Lou Yu said. She is also a woman. Naturally, she knows how difficult it is for women to get to this point. If they are not careful, they will Being beaten back to the prototype, in which reproductive rights are crucial.

"The surrogate flower only requires the blood of both parties. If it really works, maybe the woman's uterus will degenerate in the future." Song Yi said.

"This is good." Lou Yu said nonchalantly.

"But I always feel that there may be a difference between gestating animals and gestating humans." Song Yi said suddenly, and she was at a loss as to why she had such an idea.

[You are causing trouble by your perception of the way of heaven. 】Cang saw her confusion and explained to her.

"If you have any guesses, you might as well tell me directly." Lou Yu said after hearing what she said and seeing her own confused expression.

"You know the laws of human evolution. The more human beings develop and evolve, the less hope they have for having offspring. If it hadn't been for the development of artificial wombs, the number of human beings would probably have increased in reverse." Song Yi thought for a moment and sorted it out. Just a flash of inspiration.

"It has been written in the novel that the success rate of reproduction will be reduced when monks and superpowers reach a certain level. Although it is a novel, this may not be incorrect. From the perspective of natural rules, this is very consistent, such as insects Such weaklings will reproduce a lot at a time, and tigers and leopards, including humans, basically have one or two children. If the surrogate flower can reproduce offspring at will, then this is not true and it does not comply with the rules of evolution."

"You're right, it's indeed possible." Lou Yu thought for a moment and nodded, "I'll go talk to Li Pan."

If you don't know this and start nurturing the baby directly, something may happen. After taking Song Yi to the pharmacy and having someone show her around, she went to find Li Pan.

After listening to Lou Yu's words, Li Pan nodded: "Actually, I have guessed something about what you said."

"Oh, are there any signs?" Lou Yu was not surprised that Li Pan had already guessed that those who could be here were not ordinary people.

"We have previously selected several kinds of exotic beasts as experimental subjects. In addition to those that withered due to lack of energy at the beginning, some fetuses also appeared later. Although they did not wither directly or become stillborn, they were somewhat malnourished. And those... They are all high-level exotic beasts we obtained." Li Pan said.

"Is there a solution?" Lou Yu was curious.

"We experimented with various methods, and finally found that it would be better to continuously inject abnormal energy into the fetus." Li Pan nodded.

"Is there any limit to the injection of supernatural energy?" Lou Yu grasped the key point.

"Yes, after injecting the alien energy, you still need to communicate with it mentally and calm its emotions." Li Pan replied: "And after those alien beasts are born, they regard the people who injected energy into them as their parents, which is very strange. Close and dependent." "It seems that this should be the key." Lou Yu said.

"It should be that, at least as in the past, the country can no longer breed as many people as it wants. When the surrogate flower is in the later stages of pregnancy, at least one person must take care of it." Li Pan said.

"This is a natural rule." Lou Yu said. Rules are different from laws. Rules are regulations and laws that must be implemented. However, the rules of heaven are different from human laws and rules, because the rules of heaven directly impose restrictions and do not impose restrictions at all. It will give you a chance to take advantage of the loopholes.

"With today's human lifespan, we don't have to worry about aging and negative population growth." Li Pan can only be grateful for this.

"Forget about the crisis caused by the outside world." Lou Yu exposed this point.

Li Pan thought that after the end of the world, more than 300 million people had died, but not a single newborn was born. And in the short term, there might not be any newborns. At least until the Xia Kingdom was completely settled, the population would show negative growth, and there would be no Know what to say.

"Okay, the country will find a way, so we don't have to worry about it. You can do what we should do by cultivating the surrogacy flowers properly." Lou Yu saw his silence and spoke to comfort him.

"That's right, just do what we should do, and leave the rest to the state." Li Pan thought for a moment and nodded. He had specializations in his profession, so he could just do his own thing well.

Over there, Song Yi walked around the Pharmacy Research Institute under the guidance of assistant Lou Yu, and finally stopped in the material library. Just like the material team, the material library here also had everything.

Mutated plants, mutated animals, and some ores, "Is this a Zerg corpse? Can it also be used as medicine?"

"Yes, this is used in the amputated limb repair potion." The assistant nodded.

"You actually used this?" Song Yi didn't expect that the potion for repairing severed limbs actually used the Zerg. Speaking of it, the potion was developed after the Zerg was wiped out.

"Yes, we also discovered it accidentally when we were studying the use of Zerg." The assistant nodded.

"But there are only so many Zerg corpses. Will they be used up when they are used up?" Song Yi said worriedly.

"Don't worry about this for now. We are so small now, and one insect can refine ten thousand bottles of potion." The assistant smiled.

Song Yi thought about the Zerg corpses they harvested twice, at least hundreds of thousands, "Oh, if I had known these Zerg were so useful, I would have taken it easy." Thinking of so many bugs swallowed by the black hole, Song Yi It's a pity.

"Don't worry, we have a solution." After hearing what she said, the assistant said with a smile.

"What can I do?" Song Yi was immediately curious.

"There is a mutant plant, which is rather strange. If you plant it on an animal corpse, it can absorb the animal's genes. The plant that grows out will have all the characteristics and medicinal effects of the animal, and the seeds will also carry this Genes," the assistant said. (End of chapter)
