my son billions

Seeing the excited expression on the woman's flushed face, Xu Chu felt that Fandral might be right.

But the bait thrown by the other party was too tempting for Xu Chu.

During this period of time, no matter how hard he tried to cultivate No. 2's ability to think independently, it was still not very effective. No. 2 and the others are indeed a little smarter than the others, and they can even understand interstellar language.But it is still difficult for them to do some complex thinking, at most they can only follow his instructions to execute perfectly.

That's good enough, he thought.If they're just normal kids, it's really pretty good.

But it's a crime to be pregnant.

Judging from the present, No. 2 and they will still appear in the sight of human beings after all, and the abilities they possess now may bring them many unimaginable troubles or even disasters in the future.

And he didn't have the confidence to solve them one by one, and he couldn't really be by their side all the time.

No matter how powerful a creature's desire is, if there is no matching intelligence, then they can only become tools in the hands of other creatures after all.This was another thing that Xu Chu had been worrying about while worrying about food, but he didn't expect to be seen through by that woman at a glance.

Finally the woman got her wish and came out of the cage.When she came in front of Xu Chu, even No. 3 couldn't help baring her teeth at her.

Xu Chu reached out and touched No. 3 to comfort him, but he was not in a hurry to continue the previous topic.

He just turned his head and nodded to the curious O'Neill and the others behind him, and then started walking to the lair again.

But the woman behind him stopped him, "I can tell you how to do it, but you must agree to one condition."

Xu Chu turned his head to look at the other party, without much expression on his face, he just said lightly: "If your answer can satisfy me."

He didn't ask what the other party wanted, because he didn't care what the other party wanted at all.If she did have information about his little bugs in her mind, he could dig it out even if she didn't want to say it.

Xu Chu turned his head and strode forward again, and the woman also stumbled to follow, she was very clever not to bring up the topic again immediately.It wasn't until the two of them walked out of O'Neill's sight that the woman turned her head and looked at the huge beetles who looked like guards behind her. Then she licked her mouth and said nervously to Xu Chu, "If I say The method works, and I hope you will be able to keep us all."

Xu Chu just turned his head and glanced at her, but didn't answer, and continued to stride forward.

An anxious look gradually appeared on the woman's face. She was worried that if the other party didn't nod, those transport ships would set sail.

She trotted behind Xu Chu, panting, "You probably know our identities now, why don't you consider keeping us? Each of us is very useful. The elite can do many things for you. But now we have lost all our legal identities, we can only be attached to you, and we cannot even betray you."

Xu Chu frowned more and more as he listened. This woman's overly attentive attitude made him feel as if he was being watched closely by a greedy carnivorous creature, and the sticky sight could not help but send chills down the spine.

Seeing that Xu Chu kept silent, the woman gradually calmed down.She smiled wryly, followed Xu Chu quickly, wiped her face with her hand, and finally said directly and simply: "If you want to hold this creature in your hands to gain higher wisdom, then I will It is recommended that you try to find another such creature, let it eat the other, and it will grow once."

Xu Chu didn't expect that the other party proposed such a solution at all. He really didn't leave now, turned his head and waited fiercely for the other party, "Is that what you want to say?"

The woman didn't expect Xu Chu to have such an attitude, so she nodded in a daze.

"Send her back." Xu Chu ordered with a cold face.

Then turned around and left.

Now the woman was really anxious, seeing the big beetles waving their sharp forelimbs in front of her, trying to force her back, she could only step back cautiously, but shouted loudly: "What I said is true, If my guess is correct, such creatures have the ability to devour and imitate their bodies, and can imitate other species, but no matter how fast they evolve, their IQ will never change much. And if they continue to evolve physically, they are very The phenomenon of devouring the Lord will appear soon, you must believe me!"

Although Xu Chu was walking ahead, the more he listened, the more frightened he became.What the woman said was very consistent with the situation of his little bugs.Where did the other party get this information from?Ever come across creatures of their race?If so, what did the last ethnic group evolve into, or—has it perished?

But if there is only one way to devour each other, then there is really only one way out.

"Or, or if you can't find the same type of creature, give me a little more time, maybe, maybe I can figure out a way-"

Hearing these words, Xu Chu finally stopped.He turned his head and looked at the woman whose face was flushed with anxiety.

"How do you think of a way? I don't have other creatures of the same type here to experiment with you."

"There must be a way! The creatures I met back then have already developed civilization, and the relationship between them is not a life-and-death relationship, so there must be other ways!" The woman said firmly .

These words were like a ray of dawn, suddenly illuminating Xu Chu's gloomy mood during this time.

"What kind of civilization did they develop? Does this race still exist?"

The woman's face froze when she heard the words. She licked her lips nervously and said, "That's, that's some information I found when I was researching the origin of modern intelligent life. There is such a kind of information mentioned above. Creatures, and the civilizations that developed. Although they no longer exist-after all, it has been many, many years-but at that time they flourished, developed a high degree of civilization, and were more advanced than other intelligent life powerful."

Xu Chu stared closely at the woman in front of him, watching her go from stumbling to speaking more and more fluently.He knew in his heart that at most he could only believe half of what this woman said, but he still chose to believe the part he most wanted to believe.

Although he has been feeding all the little bugs here, seeing the status quo of Kuipengla—this planet is mostly covered by deserts, and even the ocean has almost no living creatures.Does a race really have a future if it develops at the expense of all other life?

This question actually appeared in his mind a long time ago, but he never dared to think deeply.

But now the answer has appeared - he just didn't find the right way now, but hope does exist.

"But you still haven't told me how you plan to do research."

"Let them evolve!" the woman said decisively, "find a way to make them evolve continuously, and study the changes in their bodies and brains during their evolution."

Hearing the word "brain", Xu Chu raised his eyebrows, but he didn't interrupt her.

"But we still have to find another creature of the same type—I'm not saying let them devour each other, after all, the number of such creatures is very rare—but we can make them evolve at the same time, compare each other, and see if they changes in the body."

"You can also try to let them eat different foods to see how they choose to absorb the part of the gene from the food to strengthen themselves, and after the strengthening, how does its own gene change, and so on a series of experiments .”

The more the woman talked, the more excited she became, but Xu Chu found some small problems in the other party's words.He kept all these in his mind, and then said: "That is to say, you don't have a mature answer for me yet, but you need to spend a lot of time and even credits to find the answer. Then I will give you the answer." I'm not satisfied with your 'answer', so I can't agree to your previous request."

The woman who was still chatting eloquently just now, her face suddenly darkened upon hearing this.

"But—but you won't suffer a loss if you keep us. You don't have to do anything, as long as we can find a place to live here."

"Your answer is not worth a shelter for 10 people." Xu Chu said indifferently.

At this moment, the woman's back, which had always been straight before, finally bent down, "Then at least—please keep those children!"

Hearing this, Xu Chu finally raised his eyes, and looked at the woman again.

The other party then begged bitterly: "There are not many children, only a few hundred or so. I know you must also be worried about the background of us people, afraid that we will cause trouble for you. I guarantee that you will not believe it." , but at least these children have never been taught anything from birth to now. They are still clean blank paper and will never cause you any trouble, please give them a bite to eat!"

Seeing Xu Chu's silence, the woman didn't seem to know what information she got from Xu Chu's expression, and then she said, "And if you keep all of us, it won't cost you much, but we can Do a lot for you!"

"It's true that it doesn't cost much, but what is lacking here is not money, but food."

The woman was startled when she heard the words, and turned her head to look around.When she came to this planet, this was the first time she noticed the surface of this planet, and all she could see was desert.

She turned back to look at Xu Chu in a daze, remembering the meat they ate before, and remembering that day at the bottom of the valley, when she looked up and saw this man, he looked at them with a trace of sadness on his face, but murmured Said, "I can't save them."

She only read this sentence from the opening and closing of the other party's lips.She chewed on these words all night, until the moment the transport cabin door closed, she found a way and mustered up the courage to speak.

She thought that since this person could say this, at least he could be moved.As long as he can see their value, then it is possible to keep them.

But it wasn't until now that she realized that maybe he really wanted to help them, but facing these 10 mouths, there was nothing he could do.

When the woman returned to the tarmac with a dejected face, planning to use the ten places Xu Chu gave her to choose family members and experimental assistants, she saw children being brought out of the transport cabin continuously.

At that moment, the look appeared on her face again.Then she turned her head to look at Xu Chu who followed her silently all the way.

Seeing this, the woman wiped her face fiercely, scanned the entire tarmac, and then ran over quickly as if she had found her target.A row of black beetles followed her all the time, so no one stopped her on the road.

Hopson is over 80 years old this year, and he went through a huge hurdle in his life when he was in his [-]s.During that time, he lost his family, his status, and his faith.

For the past ten years, he has lived in a muddle, and the only thing that insists on him going is to see if this world will really be more fair and just than the previous one.

However, what he and the people around him have encountered has actually given a part of the answer.

The disillusionment of ideals and the collapse of reality almost destroyed all the beliefs of this old man.In his view, after the collapse of the Salimon system, the world will only get worse and worse, and there will be no hope.

— they have been abandoned.

When Lilith ran over excitedly and told them that some of them could stay.Hopson only selected a few recommendations from the people he knew to Lilith after asking about Lilith's needs.

"They are short of food." Lilith was not in a hurry to find someone, but said eagerly, "They don't have enough food for us, so the master here has no way to let us all stay. We have someone, someone who can solve the problem. Is there a famine problem here? If we could, maybe we'd be able to-"

"Lilith," Hopson sighed, and said wearily, "that's enough."

He looked at the children who had been unloaded from the cages, and repeated in a low voice: "This is enough—"

These decayed and dilapidated ones all have their own places to go.

The eager expression on Lilith's face gradually disappeared. She looked at the old man surrounded by everyone, the old man who brought her out and put her into the cornerstone of faith with his own hands. She found that he had been surrounded by everything in reality. Destroyed to nothing.

All that they experienced not only destroyed the man's body, but also completely crushed his spirit, making him full of despair about the future of this world.

But she knew very well that the reason her teacher was so depressed was not because of the collapse of the Salimon system, but because the Lord Salimon, whom he regarded as an ideal ruler, had abandoned them from the very beginning.

But she didn't feel that all this was the end.

This world has not been destroyed to the point of being irreparable, or what they are pursuing is an ideal world.The current world is only a little worse than the ideal world, and it is entirely possible for it to continue to move closer to the ideal world—she and Hobson are different after all.

"Teacher, I told you a long time ago that you can't pin all your hopes on Salimon. The ideal world needs to be created by ourselves, and Salimon is just a tool for us to create an ideal world. But But your will was destroyed by a tool that was not in your hand, and your faith was destroyed."

"But I'm different from you. I prefer to rebuild a new, more convenient and stronger weapon by myself."

"Since Salimon is still not the most qualified monarch, why don't we recreate one?"
