These words caused an uproar among many strong men.

"Chu Ge, do you mean that the Rat Clan will gradually weaken their urge to reproduce as humans do, with the continuous development of the economy and society?" Chairman Yu asked Fox.

"Yes, this is what I have seen with my own eyes. Among the Rat Race, such signs have already appeared."

Chu Ge said, "According to my observations, leaving aside those ordinary mice who are still muddled and have not opened the door of wisdom, at least among the nobles of the Longfang Kingdom, there has been another kind of rat that is completely opposite to 'crazy reproduction, infinite expansion'." choose.

"When I was in the Longtooth Kingdom, I once met two strong rat clansmen, one named 'Golden Tail' and the other named 'Cat Eater', among them, the Golden Tail is the traditional 'many children, many blessings, rat sea tactics' Believers pay attention to using quantity to suppress quality; while cat eaters advocate prenatal and postnatal care, trying to use quality to defeat quantity.

"Two mouse tribes, representing two different choices, faced each other tit-for-tat, deadlocked. Among them, the offspring of the cat-eaters were naturally far less than ordinary mice, and the golden tail kept saying that it was going to reproduce like crazy, but according to my observation, its In fact, there are not as many offspring as ordinary mice."

Many strong men whispered again, President Yu frowned and said: "Even so, there is no guarantee that the choice of 'cat eaters' will become the mainstream of rat civilization, in case they still choose 'golden tail' What about the road?"

"In that regard, I do have faith in cat eaters."

Chu Ge said, "You know, the Rat Clan evolved from ordinary rats. At the beginning, they must follow the instinctive drive. When resources can be guaranteed, they will reproduce crazily and expand infinitely. In this case, food can be born. Cats advocate the existence of "prenatal and postnatal care" in this way, and it has become a climate, and they can fight against the old forces of "more children, more blessings". It can be seen that this is the rational thinking choice of the rat clan after awakening their wisdom.

"Then, as their civilization progresses, their primitive instincts become weaker and their rational thinking gradually strengthens, prenatal and postnatal care is simply an inevitable result.

"Everyone should compare their hearts to each other and imagine themselves as a rat clan with wisdom and emotions, so you should know.

"In the past, in the dark and ignorant stage, rats were just machines of flesh and blood, instinctive puppets, and they reproduced crazily in an unconscious state, and they didn't have much special affection for their own flesh and blood.

"However, once they awaken their wisdom and ego, and their love for licking the calf continues to increase, how can it be possible to always use blood as a tool for expansion?

"We measure it with common sense, every intelligent life with emotion,

He always hopes that his offspring will become stronger, smarter, and even happier, so he will always do his best to invest a lot of resources in the offspring, gradually replacing "quantity" with 'quality', This is the question of 'survival cost' and 'parenting cost'. "

"Survival costs and parenting costs?"

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

"Why do people in poor societies and war-torn areas feel that 'more children bring more blessings'? Because the cost of raising them is extremely low. Multiple children are just too many chopsticks, and they don't need any education at all. Even if they die young, there is no pity."

Chu Ge said, "However, in a busy and highly developed modern metropolis, not only do people themselves have to master ten times more skills than in the past in order to survive, which consumes longer working hours, and even the cost and difficulty of raising children , It is also a hundredfold improvement, medical care, education, competition among children... many factors have jointly created the curse of the declining birth rate in big cities.

"The same principle makes sense when applied to the Rat Clan.

"Ordinary mice have a simple mind. As long as they find a huge garbage dump, they can live a 'carefree' life. What else can they do except grind their teeth all day long? Of course, they can only reproduce day and night. And the bred mice don't need to learn any mysterious and complicated survival skills, and can enter the next round of breeding cycle when they grow to a size of a few months.

"However, according to my observation, this is not the case for the Rat Race who has awakened wisdom.

"You know, 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. Their fighting skills and their desire to reproduce are much lower than ordinary rats.

"As for the little mice of the aristocratic class, they seem to be high and mighty, but in fact, the work they undertake and the competition with each other are no less than slave soldiers.

"First of all, they must seize the precious opportunity to absorb the aura of heaven and earth to cultivate, awaken and control various superpowers - you must know that even if we humans awaken superpowers and want to use them proficiently, we need expert guidance and a long time. Boring training, not to mention the inexperienced, groping Rat Tribe alone.

"Secondly, in addition to practicing alone, the Rats also need to organize battle formations, cooperate with the army to perform exercises, and learn how to use spears, daggers, knives, firecrackers and even grenades. Between their short limbs, they swayed extremely powerful power.

"On this basis, the Rats still need to learn the language, understand various court etiquette and social habits, and many strange rules, even I feel dizzy after listening to them. How could the newly born Rats be born in three Learn in five months?

"I haven't mentioned the competition among the Rat Clan, right? In fact, the Longtooth Kingdom has already seen a rudimentary form of private ownership. At least each family has its own private property, and the competition among them is very fierce. Under such circumstances, one An ambitious Rat Race must devote most of his time, energy and resources to his own strength. How could he spend a lot of time on giving birth to offspring? Even if he spares no effort to give birth to a hundred or eighty offspring, if he doesn't educate himself well, he will be as good as Ordinary mice are no different, so what's the use?

"In short, according to my observations and the information I obtained from the Rat Clan, it takes several years to train a qualified citizen of the Longtooth Kingdom. Beauty is not very important, and if the number of blood descendants is less than ten, there are many rats."

It was the first time for many powerhouses to hear the details about the Fang Kingdom, and they felt refreshed.

Guan Shan thought for a while, and said: "There is also such a thing, the Rat Race has cultivated so much that they can't even care about reproduction. Ordinary rats, the strong ones in the Longtooth Kingdom, can't they find these ordinary rats to give birth to, you know, one male rat and one hundred female rats can still form a group of rats."

"Major Guan, I'm afraid you have some misunderstandings about the aesthetic tastes of the Rats in the Longtooth Kingdom."

Chu Ge said, "The Rat Clan never treats ordinary mice as the same kind. They look at ordinary mice in the same way that we look at apes. I believe that no matter how hungry a guy is, he will not target apes, right?"

In a word, everyone laughed.

Guan Shanzhong also laughed, shook his head and said, "What's the same, at least there is no reproductive isolation between the rat clan and ordinary rats?"

"That's true."

Chu Ge said, "However, according to my observation, the wisdom and superpowers of the Rat Race are all related to genetic optimization. Nobles are willing to marry nobles to obtain the possibility of genetic mutation. The mouse pounced, and the offspring bred were very likely to be ordinary mice, which did not pose a great threat.

"Furthermore, the Rat Race was stimulated by aura before the patriarchal society had passed through a long period of tradition, and they migrated to the civilized world in advance. The status, intelligence and combat effectiveness of the female Rat Race are not low. It is difficult for the male Rat Race to force the female Rat Race race, reducing them to tools for reproduction.

"I think, with the further civilization of the Rat Race, especially if our human civilization can give them a certain degree of guidance, for example, if we introduce our advanced, excellent, and open feminist ideas to the Rat Race, The fertility willingness of the rat civilization has the possibility of further decline, at least not much higher."
