Age of asexual reproduction

An Xin looked at the small green fruit the size of a bean and asked.

"Oranges have a very long growth period. It takes several months to ripen." Seeing that An Xin and the others were thinking about when they could eat oranges every day, Yuan Hao couldn't help but hit them.

"It took so long." An Xin was surprised.

"That's right, these oranges grow very slowly. They don't ripen until after autumn, and some even go into winter." Yuan Hao laughed. This is why southerners like to grow pots of oranges on their balconies at home. One of the reasons is that this orange can beautify the environment and be used as an ornamental. The fruit hangs for a long time, gradually turning from green to yellow, and even red, and finally it is all yellow, reflecting the green leaves more lovely. feel comfortable.Moreover, in the eyes of southerners, oranges also symbolize good luck. When the Spring Festival comes, some people will buy some oranges to decorate their homes. Every Spring Festival, their company sells a large number of New Year’s oranges.However, the New Year's oranges that are specially used for viewing are small in size, not very tasty, and too sour. Everyone just puts the New Year's oranges in the pot. After the festival, these oranges will automatically fall down slowly.Some people will collect these oranges and make them into tangerines, which have a unique flavor and can be stored for a long time.

Hearing what Yuan Hao said about oranges, An Xin asked with sparkling eyes: "Then the fruit of this orange tree is sweet or sour?"

"Of course it's sweet? It's not a New Year's orange, it's specially eaten. It's also bigger than the New Year's orange. It's sour, sweet, and full of water. It's really delicious." Yuan Hao said to himself I swallowed a few times.Originally, I didn't expect that the variety of this small orange tree would be so good, but perhaps because of the good water and soil in the space, the fruit it produces is extraordinarily delicious.Now I really regret not bringing in more orange trees.

"Hey, if I knew I would come to this ghostly place, I should have brought more things." Yuan Hao regretted it very much.Now everything can only rely on a few seeds, and they are not economically beneficial. Of course, this is just his inertial thinking.

If he had known earlier, he should have brought some seeds of peanuts, corn and beans. Thinking of this, he thought of the so-called master of space, the weird guy who gave him this space.I don't know if I can get in touch with him, and if I can ask him to get me some things I need, like seeds, rice, and flour, the more the better.Of course, it would be best if you can get yourself back.The more he thought about it, the more possible it became in his heart.He was so excited that he couldn't sleep, and in the middle of the night, taking advantage of An Xin and An Ping's fast asleep, he quietly left the shed, ran to a corner by himself, and muttered: "Space God, I beg you, hurry up!" Let me go back." But he said nothing, and only his voice was heard.He said with undying heart: "Or, you can get me some things to come in. Now, I have nothing to eat and nothing to use. How can I live this day?"

He has been chattering like this for several days, but the Space God didn't respond at all, and he didn't even dream about it. Obviously, the Space God abandoned him a long time ago.He still has to live the current life of not getting enough to eat, not sleeping well, and having to worry about fear.So he began to plan honestly, how to live better here?Of course, the first one is to make yourself full.For the ones behind, take your time.

Fertility problems

With a plan in place, I finally have some confidence in my heart, and my mood is much better.But it was only for a while. During dinner, facing the last bit of food, Yuan Hao had a headache.This is enough for the three of them to eat for five or six days at most.The chickens are still chicks, kill them and eat them, and think about letting them lay eggs, so sell them, what a pity.Anping also suggested that he go out to look for a job and increase some income for the family. Even if it can solve his own life, it will be a great help.

Yuan Hao wanted to stop him, but he couldn't. An Xin also wanted to go out to work with him, but Anping and Yuan Hao were both worried.Since the last time he found out that men can also be sexual objects, Yuan Hao sighed when he saw An Xin's pretty face.In fact, he still doesn't know that there are no women in this era.He had discovered that all he saw were men, but he hadn't thought about this issue deeply. Now that he calmed down, the more he thought about it, the more weird he felt.

"Anping, why do we only see men every time we go out, what are the women doing?"

"Woman?" Anping and An Xin were puzzled.None of them had ever seen a woman.

"We only have demihumans and ordinary people here." An Xin replied.

"Is there no woman?" Yuan Hao was shocked. He imagined several possibilities in his mind, but this was the only one that didn't exist.

"Just men?" he asked unwillingly.

"Well, we have only seen the woman you mentioned in books, and only scientists have been discussing it." An Xin's words made Yuan Hao's eyes darken, and it took him a long time to ask weakly: "What do you rely on?" Propagate the next generation? Without women, how to have children?"

"Could it be that women specialize in giving birth to children?" An Xin misunderstood what he meant.

"No. But children are born in women's wombs." Yuan Hao had no choice but to tell them.

"That woman is the one who bears children? What's the big deal." An Xin pouted her lips disapprovingly, making it so miraculous, but it's just that she can bear children. It's not the same as having a child without a woman for so many years.

"It's been said that women don't specialize in giving birth. Human beings have always been divided into men and women. The so-called harmony of yin and yang." Yuan Hao didn't know how to explain this kind of problem.

"Are there many women in your place? What do women look like?" An Xin was very interested in the topic of women.He has never seen a woman, nor does he know the difference between a woman and a man.

Yuan Hao's head was full of black lines, so he had to patiently tell them about the problem of reproduction.But An Xin and An Ping listened to his words, but were speechless for a long time.

"Yuan Hao, you must not talk about women in front of other people in the future, otherwise those people with ulterior motives will find out and they will definitely arrest you for research." After a long time, Anping sternly reminded Yuan Hao, and let An Xin not let this matter out.

"Don't worry. I will definitely not tell anyone about Yuan Hao." An Xin nodded solemnly.

It took Yuan Hao a long time to accept the fact that there were no women. He always felt weird in his heart, but suddenly he thought of another problem. The men he met were all young and middle-aged men, and Li Yi, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper, looked It looks like he is only five or sixty years old. Has he ever seen children or old people?

"How long is the average life expectancy here? Are there many children?"

"There are not many children, and they seldom run outside at will. Their lives are very fragile. They must be taken care of. The longest human life span is only about two hundred years old. Generally speaking, the average life expectancy is about 180 years old. Go." An Xin told him.

"What? Two hundred years old? Such a great age." Yuan Hao exclaimed. Most of the people he met lived to be in their 80s and 90s.It seems that no one in the village has lived past the age of [-].People here can live to be two hundred years old.

"How long do you generally live?" An Xin asked him curiously.

"Seven to eighty years old. There are very few people who are over a hundred years old."

"It's so short. It's less than half of ours. It turns out that your era also has shortcomings compared to ours." Now even Anping screamed.

It took a long time for Yuan Hao to digest these facts, and couldn't help but ask: "With such a long lifespan, the physical fitness should be very good, and you won't get sick, right?"

"What do you mean?" Neither An Xin nor An Ping understood what he meant, there are people who are not sick.

"Oh, there are many diseases like cancer?" Yuan Hao felt uncomfortable when he thought of this cancer and that cancer. He had seen people suffering from rectal cancer, liver cancer, leukemia, nasopharyngeal cancer, and stomach cancer.No matter how strong these patients were before they got sick, they were only skin and bones afterward, and they didn't last long. They died in as short as three or two months, and as long as two or three years.There was even a villager in his 40s who committed suicide as soon as he heard that he had cancer so as not to burden his family. There were old and young in the family, so how could there be so much money for medical treatment.It's better to settle everything, and this kind of thing is not uncommon, and many people agree with this choice in private.So in his impression, illness is the most terrifying thing, especially cancer. He once thought that if he got an incurable disease, he would not have to suffer so hard, and he would end it by himself as soon as possible.

"Generally speaking, there are fewer patients with serious illnesses that cannot be cured. Of course, this refers to the situation when there is money. If there is no money, even minor illnesses may kill people."

"Oh." Yuan Hao understood that no matter in which era, the life of the rich is always more precious, and the life of the poor is cheap.

"Since there is a child, where did it come from?" Yuan Hao asked again.

"In modern society, when a child is born, the sperm of the breeder is selected to combine with the egg of the egg bank. After a certain method, the child is born. The hospital will then notify the parents to collect their own child. "Anping's words were simple and plain, but it made Yuan Hao feel a little more at ease.This is a bit like a test-tube baby, not unusual.In their village, there are children born like this.Generally, only infertile couples will go for IVF.But the baby will still be born in the mother's womb for about ten months.

"Demihumans are sterile, in other words
