Chapter 99 The Fatal Problem of Valor

It is normal for a civilization to have various problems, because civilization is composed of thinking beings, and thinking will lead to contradictions, and contradictions will lead to conflicts.

Even a united civilization will encounter natural disasters, man-made disasters, and the dilemma of technological breakthroughs.

Qin Yue has even seen a civilization that went smoothly all the way, and then felt that it was just for the sake of leveling up, and the existence of civilization was meaningless, and finally all members collectively self-destructed.

And the level of civilization is to move forward in the process of constantly solving problems.

Valo also encountered many problems, some of which were even quite fatal.

The first one is the problem of fertility.

The fertility of the Valo people is quite strong, and two or three babies are common. Female Valo people can give birth every year from the age of 14 to the three to five years before the end of their lives, and the fertility of the Valo people does not cause much harm to the body. It is common for Valo people to give birth in the morning and go to work in the afternoon.

In Qin Yue's view, this is a race that has entered a civilized society, but still has strong animal habits in its genes. Unlike humans, they have many essential differences in physiological structure from animals.

Logically, such a fertile race should not encounter fertility problems, but now they really have, one of the main reasons is the war with another civilization that has lasted for thousands of years.

Valo has never fought such a difficult war. At the beginning, the children were all excited to join the army, but fighting would kill people, and dying in the star sea meant becoming a vegetable in reality.

In the early years, Valo would directly burn these vegetative people, but as the number of subordinate races increased, the Valo people were also infected with some normal emotions, and they began to refuse to burn their children.

If they don't burn them, vegetative people mean an extra burden on the family, and an extra burden on the family means it is more difficult to support more children, so they began to have fewer children.

With fewer children, they will have deeper feelings for their only children, and if these children die, they will be even more reluctant to burn them.

Others saw that their children had to go to the battlefield and would become so miserable after death, and gradually became resistant to war.

However, war is unavoidable, and they cannot refuse their children to be sent to the battlefield. In order to reduce this pain, some people also began to choose not to have children.

The second reason is the emergence of the star sea.

The Star Sea is much more fun than the real world. In the real world, you may not be able to afford a house or a wife.

But in the Star Sea, you can drive a luxury battleship and travel around various planets. You can also spend dozens of coins to build a big villa. You can spend hundreds of dollars to have some fun in the flower street, or buy a subordinate race that looks similar to Valo, which is not expensive.

In front of Valo's people, you are a loser. You are not good-looking, have low IQ, poor learning, poor command ability, and have grown up in vain. There is nothing to attract the opposite sex.

But in the subordinate race, you are a superior race, a superior person, and an object that everyone must respect and flatter. Among the subordinate races, there are also races that just grow up in the aesthetics of Valo people.

Even if such a race cannot be found, you can also find a robot company to customize it. With the current technology, whatever appearance and personality you want, they are all available, but they just need to be charged frequently.

Instead of being bullied in reality, why not find a cheap and respectful partner in the Star Sea?

But such a partner is genetically isolated. Besides, you have had fun in the star sea and become a saint in reality, but children must be born in reality after all!

The result is that the more prosperous the star sea is, the lower the fertility rate is.

Another problem brought about by the decline in fertility rate is that the proportion of Valo people in the entire Valo civilization is rapidly declining, while the proportion of subordinate races is increasing. They dare not rashly attack the subordinate races, because the population of subordinate races now accounts for 84% of the entire Valo, and a single move will affect the whole body!

This is not to mention the huge number of subordinate races that are only treated as slaves and not included in the normal population range.

The expansion speed of Valo has slowed down since 30,000 years ago. When encountering that kind of small civilization, they used to attack directly, but now they have to drag and fight for a long time. It’s not because it’s difficult to fight, but no one cares if they are defeated. If that civilization is directly clicked, you still have to be responsible for raising them.

"How can it be so miserable?" Qin Yue looked at Dou Xiang and laughed, but soon he thought of a simple solution.

Why not clone?

Even if cloning is not an option, IVF is also possible. Collect the genetic genes of the father and mother, and then make a culture jar to simulate the environment of the mother's pregnancy.

Is this technology difficult?

A level one civilization can probably handle it!

Qin Yue turned to search for relevant papers, and then found that this technology is being developed and has been going on for more than 100,000 years

But it has not been successful. Qin Yue just searched and found countless papers, all discussing the difficulties and key points of this technology.

Clicking on the latest one, Qin Yue took a rough look and found that the experimenter found that the mother of Valo would secrete a substance called CPH4 from the fourth to sixth week of pregnancy. This substance can promote the development of the baby's bones, but the content of this substance is extremely rare. The institute cannot collect enough samples for research. Without this substance, the babies cultivated may all have rickets.

Clicking on another article, the experimenter found that during the first week of pregnancy in Valo's mother, a mysterious substance in the blood components would suddenly increase, and then disappear suddenly a week later. It is not yet clear what this substance is. What role does it play in the molding process?

"Nah, this is nonsense!" Qin Yue was speechless. He remembered that he had entered the ruins of a first-level civilization, and there were ready-made fertilized egg cultivation facilities inside. To the extent that it can be understood.

Analyzing the composition of chemical substances and deducing their synthesis methods is something that first-level civilizations should know. It is impossible for organisms of first- and second-level civilizations like them to have substances that cannot be synthesized by lower-level civilizations, because the bodies of lower-level civilizations, Basically, they are all evolved naturally by nature. If you, a second-level civilization’s Academy of Sciences, say you can’t come up with it, you are kidding!

Qin Yue looked at the researchers, Pork Verota, Katonia Verota, and Babaman Verota.

Virota, Virota, they are all Virota. Occasionally, you can encounter those whose names begin with "month". Those are the Moon Sheep clan.

"Is this intentional by the Virota clan?" Qin Yue thought for a while and simply took out Sophon to search for information in large quantities.

The Virota clan has controlled Valo's scientific research power for hundreds of thousands of years, and has researched more than hundreds of millions of projects!

But in front of Zhizi, these projects were sorted out by Qin Yue one by one, just like peeling off cocoons.

After a long time, Qin Yue's eyes lit up, and sure enough!

As the first subordinate race to join Valo, Virota's status is not as low as other subordinate races.

It can be said that if Valo is a big family, the Virota family is the stewards of this family. Except for some core secrets that are unknown, everything else is basically under the control of Virota.

For example, there are numerous factions within the Academy of Sciences.

There are still a large number of Varro people in military science, battleship, artillery research, etc., but departments such as biology, chemistry, medicine, basic physics, basic mathematics, etc. have basically been occupied by the Virota clan, especially genetics. Category, there is not even a single Valorian!

It seems that Virota serves Valo everywhere. In various documents, various reports, and various articles, Virota always respectfully calls Valo the main clan. Even if he has been pardoned by the Supreme Sky, this title has never been used. change.

Virota's loyalty to Varro is very popular with Varro and the Supreme Sky. Especially out of the idea of ​​setting an example to other races, the Supreme Firmament has given Virota considerable trust.

And Virota has lived up to this trust. The various tasks assigned to him have been completed in an orderly manner. Vallo's accounts for nearly ten thousand years are clearly organized. Virota has not touched a single bit. Virota has done a good job for Vallo. The backend of the created program system was all open to Valo. Before Valo could say anything unfavorable to Valo on the Internet, Verota warned and arrested him in advance. He was quick and never delayed.

This kind of performance is simply loyal to the extreme!

But is Virota really loyal?

Qin Yue looked through the few failed projects of Virota, including fertilized egg culture, quantum coding, theoretical research on strong and weak interactions, and gravitational field theory.

Among the vast number of successful projects in Virota's research, these few are not conspicuous at all.

Rather, we have done so much work and only a few items have not been completed. How can you blame me?

However, the failure of fertilized egg culture technology meant that the Valor civilization could not carry out a population explosion.

The failure of quantum coding technology means that not only people with SSS-level talents like Qin Yue, but also anyone else, as long as their computer knowledge is high enough, can invade Wallow's system. Wallow's system can be invaded by real masters. There are no secrets in front of me.

The failure to unify the theory of strong and weak interaction means that Valo will be stuck in the second level civilization and will never be able to break through to the third level.

The failure of the gravitational field theory means that Valo is not top-notch at the second level. It can use electromagnetic fields and radiation fields, but it cannot use the highest level, the most useful and most powerful, the gravitational black field!

Virota dug a hole for Valo!

A person may appear prosperous on the surface, but when he encounters a truly powerful enemy, he will instantly find that he is strong on the outside and weak on the inside!

PS:.

I wrote 6,300 words today. When I looked at the total word count, it was 250,000.

In the past, when I wrote a book, the 250,000-word mark was basically approaching the end.

This book has just begun

I don’t know what’s wrong. Am I a loser? I feel like I don’t talk too much, and I advance the plot very quickly.

Weird~~

At this rate, it may not be available until next week. Alas, it’s a pity that August is gone.
