Mermaid Feeding Rules

It is indeed tempting for humans to have a longer life, but most human lives are within a hundred years.Unlike mermaids who are used to living alone, for human beings after a hundred years, it is better to live their less than a hundred years of life well after watching the familiar people pass away.

Garcia originally thought that this should make Boyce agree to himself, but he didn't expect that he just wavered for a moment, and then rejected him.

"Can all people be transformed?" Beuys asked Garcia.

"Only Sofia can." Although Garcia was a little reluctant to be interrupted by Boyce, he still explained seriously that only humans who are chosen by the mermaid as their partners can be successfully transformed.

"Only you can." Garcia looked at Boyce and said again.

The purpose of this kind of transformation is to make the mermaid's partner stay with them for a longer period of time. As Garcia's partner, Beuys was able to successfully pass the transformation.

Boyce thought of the mutation in Laurie, which was a little different from what Garcia said. He directly had the characteristics of a mermaid.

Boyce speculated that he might be the result of a failed transformation.

But Garcia says no merman has ever transformed a non-partner, so Garcia isn't sure if that's the reason.

But Boyce still couldn't figure out why the mermaid would waste so much effort to transform a human being belonging to another race, instead of choosing a mermaid of her own race as a partner.

Compared with humans, mermaids should also be able to understand each other better, and the same race should be a more suitable partner choice.

However, Garcia was very surprised when he heard Boyce's question. In other races, interbreeding with the same race is the norm, but in the mermaid race, interbreeding with the same race has become incomprehensible.

Mermaids don't think it's wrong for other races to reproduce within the group, but they don't have the intention to reproduce with their own kind.

"No mermaid will be the partner of another mermaid." Garcia told him firmly.

……

After talking with Garcia last time, Boyce inexplicably remembered what Garcia said "two mermaids can't be together", and kept it in his heart, looking through the materials in his spare time to try to find the reason.

Knowing that Laurie's current state may be due to the failure of transformation, Boyce can't help but go to see him when he meets him, wondering if there will be sequelae.

After being injected with the No. 1 drug, Laurie's personality began to approach the personality of the first research institute. Later, the personality that the people in the laboratory thought had undergone a major change seemed to never appear again.

On the whole, it seems that they are all changing in a good direction, much smoother than Boyce and the others had expected.

Laurie's current physical and mental state are much better than those visible to the naked eye before, and the situation of losing control and hurting people has not appeared again. Moreover, although the cells in his body are slow, they are transforming towards humans.

"At this rate, he should be back to normal in about three months."

Matthew came to a conclusion after reading the data.

"Did you come to a conclusion so early?" The person next to him raised his eyebrows and looked at Matthew jokingly. Although he said so, he also maintained an optimistic attitude.

"Everything is changing in a good direction. Could there be other accidents?" Matthew smiled. Originally, they estimated that Laurie's body should return to the state before the injection of the medicine after the transformation stopped, but this This state has not yet appeared, and it is estimated that it will appear after the effect of z-Ⅲ is completely removed.

After the two finished speaking, they couldn't help laughing. Matthew turned his head and found that Boyce was still looking at the image.

"What did you find?" Matthew leaned over, and the people next to him also poked their heads curiously.

Boyce glanced up at them, then opened another file and released a few pictures.

The first is the genetic comparison between humans and mermaids. Both mermaids and humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, and the genes are somewhat extremely similar.

Then Boyce called out the picture of Laurie's recent analysis. Compared with humans, his genetic similarity was higher after being modified during this period.

"What do you want to say?" Matthew was a little puzzled. They already knew these things before, and they didn't understand why Boyce called them up again.

"Look here." Boyce pointed to one of the parts. At the position he pointed out, the mermaid has an extra gene than the human, and this fragment also exists in Laurie's fragment.

After Laurie injected No. 1 potion, this clip seems to be moving closer to the mermaid...

"When the first mutation happened, it also started from here, but now he has not changed." Some time ago, some people originally speculated that maybe it was this clip that induced humans to change towards mermaids, but because of the Rui injected the No. 1 drug, so this research was just put forward and then it was gone.

Boyce looked at this, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

And Matthew and the others hesitated after listening to Boyce's analysis.

"But the current situation of Laurie seems to be fine..." Matthew rubbed his brows, "I hope you guessed wrong."

Boyce hoped so, too.

Looking at the similar analysis image on the screen, he suddenly remembered what Garcia said, there should be a reason for the mermaids to choose humans instead of their own race as partners.

Boyce thought for a while and asked Matthew next to him: "I remember that there was an experiment before trying to breed two mermaids?"

Boyce had heard Matthew say this before, and wanted to ask him if he knew more.

"Yes." Matthew looked at him suspiciously, "Why are you suddenly curious about this?"

Because Matthew was interested in this experiment, he deliberately searched a lot of information.

"The first step of the experiment failed because of the territorial awareness of the mermaids. Although the selected mermaids were male and female, they showed a strong aggressiveness towards the mermaids that appeared within a certain range." known reasons.

However, the researchers devoted to mermaid research naturally couldn't stop breeding new juvenile experimental subjects because of this small reason.

So after several failed attempts to keep the two mermaids in the same pool, they changed their minds.

"Cultivate embryos in test tubes and artificially cultivate them." Matthew looked at Boyce and asked him, "Isn't it a brilliant idea?"

Everyone else at the institute at the time thought so, and they tried to grow fertilized eggs.

However, after the successful development of artificial wombs, embryos have not yet been cultivated.

"It may be hard for you to imagine that they spent two years without successfully cultivating any embryos."

It was as if the two mermaids couldn't successfully synthesize fertilized eggs at all.

Because this conclusion is too unbelievable, the research institute is more inclined to stop this project due to their technical reasons.

"We don't yet have the technology to cultivate fertilized eggs." Matthew said, "After all, if the mermaid's sperm and egg cells cannot be fertilized to form fertilized eggs, how will they reproduce?"

But Boyce, who was listening beside him, seemed to understand something in combination with Garcia's words.

The reason why the mermaids choose humans as their partners should be that two mermaids simply cannot reproduce.Therefore, regardless of gender, mermaids will expel the same race within their territory.

In order to successfully continue the race, they will choose humans with high genetic similarity with themselves as their partners and give birth to offspring, and because of the characteristics of mermaids, the offspring born should also be mermaids.

According to the Institute's research on mermaids, it should take decades for mermaids to develop in the mother's body, and the human life cycle is not enough to complete the conception of offspring.

So mermaids will transform humans, allowing them to live long enough to turn their partners into a state suitable for raising offspring.

The sofia chosen by the mermaid should be a group of people who can be successfully transformed among humans, including herself and Collins.

However, Boyce didn't know how each mermaid perceives a partner, and how each mermaid corresponds to a unique partner.
