How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 223 Inheriting the Clan Mother

Marvin, let me tell you, the food in this restaurant tastes really good. I've been here no less than five times. It's cheap and affordable... blah blah blah...

The head of state chattered endlessly while feasting boldly, as if he didn't notice the displeasure written on his sister's face opposite him at all.

What? No appetite? Then give it to me, and I'll help you eat.

The corners of Marvin's eyes twitched slightly, and he patted away his elder brother's hand stretching towards his rice bowl.

It's thanks to you that you can say this kind of thing. Those who know you know that you are the head of state. Those who don't know you think you are a poor beggar. Maybe they will throw you out.

Impossible. Beggars can't afford this noble clothes. At most, they think I'm a pauper with a lot of vanity and wanting to pretend to be rich.

Hearing that, Ma Wen almost got angry, and looked at her brother with eyes as if she was looking at an alien. Sometimes, she really wanted to open this guy's brain to see if there was any parasitic like in science fiction movies. insect.

Why are you able to say such things confidently? Why do you ask me to pay you every time you come to eat with me? After all, you are also a head of state. Are you somewhat ashamed?

No, who told you to lose to me in the past, this is the price of losing, and you see brother, my monthly salary is only a pitiful one thousand yuan, after paying the utility bills, it will be gone, and I can't even afford food... ...

That's what you asked for, right? To fool me with such things as the head of state's salary, do you think I will believe your nonsense?

Don't say that, didn't I prepare a coupon?

Not even the slightest bit of guilt, Ma Wen saw only calmness in the eyes of the head of state, it seemed to him that the current situation was as natural as an object falling from a high place.

Marvin didn't bother to argue, she knew that what she said was useless, what she just said was just to vent out the gloom in her heart.

Tell me, what exactly is it that you are looking for me? It's like this every time you look for me for dinner. What important things are you looking for me this time?

About the seed plan.

Didn't you announce your hibernation technology? Why are you asking me specifically?

Hearing the head of state's words, Ma Wen couldn't help being a little surprised, the seed plan had been arranged as early as the meeting, why his brother came to ask himself now.

The head of state shook his head slightly, and replied, What I want to ask is cloning technology. Does cloning really need a mother body?

Otherwise? You want fertilized egg cells to complete division and differentiation in vitro? Do you know how difficult this technique is? Leaving aside the sterile environment, how do you solve the problem of nutrition? This cannot be solved by inserting a tube. question.

The more Marvin said, the more he felt a headache. The difficulty of artificial uterus is very high. The child in the mother's womb can get nourishment through the umbilical cord, but how can the egg cells fertilized in vitro get nourishment?

What Huogu and the others can easily do, in the eyes of the Serin people, it is as difficult as heaven.

...That is, the 'seed' must carry a woman as the mother.

Having said this, the head of state couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing this, Marvin sneered mockingly.

Why? Conscience found out?

No, I'll just check it out, but seeing your experiment today, I think it's necessary to add some other functions to the seed.

Marvin was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized.

You mean knowledge infusion? Then the quality will increase.

I know, cut the food in half and replace it with knowledge-infused instruments and food seeds that can be grown in harsh environments.

You want to starve the mother to death?

Marvin couldn't help widening her eyes, she was really shocked by her brother's words.

'No, no, that's a precious mother. How could I let her starve to death for the mother who went to other places to reproduce the Serene people? It won't have much impact if the food is halved. If the food seeds can't be cultivated, No matter how much food is stored, it is a dead end, and it may be more tormented than halving the food, after all, it is waiting for death.

Seeing the experiment my sister did today, it is possible to stuff all the knowledge of the empire in one person's brain. If a little nano-industry is installed on the seeds, the probability of survival of the mother body in the seeds will undoubtedly increase a little bit. Do your best...

It just so happens that I also want to ask you something. Marvin said.

whats the matter?

I would like to know the selection criteria for 'Clan Mother'.

Of course, the lighter the quality, the better, petite, about fourteen years old...

Why should such a young woman be the matriarch? Can the psychological quality meet the standard?

After all, it is a child, or a woman. Unlike adults, children's hearts are generally very fragile, while women are more sensitive and slender. If they choose to be the mother, they may go crazy after living in a foreign star for a period of time.

You know, there is no one there in the true sense, not to mention children, adults who have not received special training may be driven crazy.

Psychological quality can be trained. I am not afraid that she will not meet the standard. The body of a woman of this age has not yet fully grown. After landing, it will definitely take a while to adapt to the environment there and plant crops, just enough for her to grow. Good food and environment are the mother's body. The premise of being able to reproduce on alien planets, if you can't guarantee these two points, you can only die.

Don't you think it's cruel? Throwing an unworldly little girl on an uninhabited planet several light years away, and it's hard to say whether it's suitable for the Selenes to survive. We only know that there is liquid water and an atmosphere on it. ...

Empire and conscience, how should you choose?

Marvin, who was asked a rhetorical question, was silent. She could understand her brother's choice. It was a decision made out of rational thinking. His emotional part must also be unacceptable, but what can be done? If someone else does it, can there be a better choice?

Before he knew it, the head of state had already finished his meal and got up to leave.

Then I'll go first, you know, the Yuan capital is very busy, and the schedule is very tight.

Wait, brother, do you still remember the favor you owe me?

what do you want?

The head of state knew that when his sister brought this up, she wanted his help with something.

Arrange Nave as the commander of the fleet.

Don't look at me like that, this is what I promised him.

Under the strange gaze of the head of state, Marvin added this.

The head of state thought for a while and answered.

It's about the safety of the empire. I can only arrange a candidate position for him, unless he is capable enough to fill that position.

This is no problem. My suggestion to this will naturally make him capable. You just need to arrange it.

The two understand each other, and naturally they will not really hinder each other in this kind of matter because of their own willfulness... Daily life is another matter.

By the way, you really have no other meaning in it? As an old girl, it's time to get married. Wrinkles will depreciate, so pay attention to maintenance.

...You really think I dare not beat you up, don't you?
