Chapter 247: The Ecology of the Ligier People

There was no big movement.

The action with the goal and strategy decided was quietly launched.

At the same time, the dragon people, dragons, and Lijier people also began to develop at the same time.

After the Crown of Paradise made by the Deformed Shadow Crow was used as a tool for gene editing and assembly, the three races have been completely separated from the original "demon" or "human".

While the hidden dangers in the demon city gradually spread, the dragon people, dragons, and Lijier people were also developing.

The group consultation with the dragons and the queen's decision-making rule are different.

The group execution with the dragon people and the queen's dictatorial rule are also different.

The Lijier people do not have a unified leader.

Designed with "expansion" as the core.

The group is indeed stronger than the individual.

However, the integration of the group to the individual will fluctuate as the number of people increases.

In real activities, in practice, people do not all pursue the theoretically optimal things.

Often, there are more "not the worst choice", which will become people's options.

Rather than "pursuing efficiency" or "cost-effectiveness", it is better to say that it is pursuing the most cost-effectiveness within one's visible range.

In his lifetime, people would compare prices from three different stores when buying things. Some people might compare prices from 30 stores, but what about 300 stores? What about 3,000 stores?

The act of "comparing" also consumes people's experience.

However, people often subconsciously ignore the process of comparison and selection, and ignore the consumption in it.

The act of "pursuing and finding the highest cost-effectiveness" is not without consumption.

By taking advantage of people's vague feelings and influencing the judgment of a certain weight within a foreseeable range, it can be achieved.

Yao Yan set it up in this way.

They will choose collective action, but will not choose a group that is too large.

They will choose a small group of 10-30 people, but will be disgusted with a large group of 100 people and refuse to join.

They will even take the initiative to dismantle such a large group.

Although he cannot do it, he does not need to stipulate in detail how many groups they will exclude.

As long as they will take the initiative to leave, Yao Yan's goal will be achieved.

All he needs is the process of "leaving".

When it develops to a certain extent, it will begin to spread, just like a natural enemy, and will actively hunt and eliminate demons.

Paradise humans don't hate demons enough.

According to his understanding and observation, rather than saying that Paradise humans are the natural enemies of demons, it is better to say that Paradise humans see demons as if they see natural enemies.

Paradise humans are the ones who actively retreat.

Only the "Demon Public Enemy" demon hunter branch route has the aggressiveness of demons overwhelmed the fear of retreat.

Then, using this demon hunter type developed by Paradise humans as a prototype, adding the function of reproduction and increasing the spread speed, it is possible to adjust a biological species that can help him eliminate the "demons" that are running around and almost everywhere.

Biological control?

Yao Yan watched a group of newly formed Lijier people.

Watching them dragging the corpses of demons back to the camp.

Unlike the fully armed posture of Paradise humans, Lijier people don't have any artificial equipment.

Their physical strength is the best weapon.

And their reproduction methods

In his time, there was a special kind of creatures, both on land and in the ocean.

Creatures that can change sex.

For example, red snappers move in small groups of 20-30, with male red snappers as the leader and all the others are female.

When the leader dies, the largest female red snapper will become a male and replace the leader.

For another example, the clownfish school is a small school of fish composed of one female + multiple males.

When the female fish dies for some reason, the male fish will become a female fish, gradually increase in size, become stronger, and take on the responsibility of reproduction.

There are also groupers. Groupers will experience multiple sexual maturity. The first sexual maturity is female, and then the second or third time, or later, after multiple sexual maturity, it will become a male fish.

But these are not what he needs.

Because clownfish are hermaphrodites, groupers and red snappers still reproduce in both sexes.

Variability has more variables than stable parthenogenesis.

The cuckoo takes over the magpie's nest.

In the end, Yao Yan's thoughts turned to parasitism.

The familiar male characteristics are essentially a tool for transmitting cells.

Humans use themselves as a reference to observe the world, and often regard this organ as a male characteristic.

In the insect world, this organ appears in many parasitic organisms in addition to males.

These insects will inject their eggs into the bodies of other organisms, allowing these eggs to develop and eat up the parasites.

The idiom "the cuckoo takes over the magpie's nest" has become the goal of his strategy.

"Nest parasitism".

Among birds, such as the cuckoo he was familiar with during his lifetime, they will lay their eggs in the nests of other birds.

These birds, as foster parents, raise the cuckoo's cubs, but the cuckoo's cubs will push all other eggs out of the nest.

Designed based on this phenomenon.

Among the Lijier people designed by Yao Yan, the Lijier people, as the leader, will have organs similar to those of male mammals or female hyenas.

She will inject her eggs into other females, so that her eggs will replace the eggs of other Lijier people, develop, and then be born.

The leader of the Lijier people is actually still female, not male.

This is also a means for Yao Yan to control the population.

Using the physiological structure similar to that of clown fish and red snapper, when there is a "leader", through the influence of pheromones such as hormones, other individuals in the group are inhibited from developing into "leaders".

Once the number of groups is too large, it will be difficult for the leader to prevent other "leaders" from appearing.

Changing the physiological structure, increasing the possessiveness and aggressiveness of the "leader", thereby eliminating the possibility of the emergence of "leader" clusters.

Moreover, a group that is too large will result in a small number of "males", so they can only and must be separated into small groups.

In order to avoid the increase in variability caused by the exchange of genes between the sexes and lead to loss of control, Yao Yan did not choose a template for sexual reproduction.

This influence from physiological functions also makes them actively separate groups and form discrete small groups.

According to Yao Yan's preset structure, according to his expectations.

The Lijier people will spread out quickly.

However, after knowing about the "humans",

Yao Yan can't let them go easily.

Otherwise, he will shoot himself in the foot.

Although they have great differences in genes with the humans in Paradise, according to the classification method of the previous era, let alone subspecies, they are not even in the same family or class.

However, they still retain a general human form.

This needs to be further transformed.

And he has already prepared the method.

As for what the Lijier people think?

What does it have to do with them if we attack them?

Yao Yan has long lost his humanity.
