Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong hadn't come out to relax alone for a long time.
Although it has experienced various twists and turns, the earth has finally successfully applied for the qualification of a first-class interstellar civilization. From now on, it will become a member of the protection of interstellar law and can participate in interstellar transactions.
Prior to this, their transaction with Dylan Harmony of the Helusher System was actually smuggling.
Someone once wanted to take advantage of this to punish the earth and turn it into a colonial star of the second-level civilization Daru Empire. Later, Xue Lihong became furious and almost demolished the venue. Xiao Mo and the representatives of the earth even made it clear: If you want to be friends with the earth, you can, but if you want to colonize the earth, you have to kill all the people on the earth!
The representatives of the Zerbeians and the Lightning Tribe of the Heluse Galaxy mediated. Finally, representatives of the more advanced fifth-level civilization spoke, saying that the Earth did not know this rule before, and the punishment should be punished by the Heluse who traded with the Earth. The galaxy.
When the Daru Empire, which was originally affiliated with the Six-Armed People of the Helushe Galaxy, heard this, they immediately did not dare to hold on to this point anymore. Although the people who traded with the earth were the Zerbeians and the Lightning Tribe, they really went to the galaxy. The court, and the entire Helusher system, are in trouble. If the superior civilization uses this as an excuse to send people to thoroughly investigate the trading system of the Helusher galaxy, no one of the three races in the Helusher galaxy can escape - who doesn't have any shady transactions
"There is a second-level civilization next to the earth that is not friendly to us, which is a bit troublesome." Xiao Mo said sitting on the grass with his hands behind his back.
"Just leave this kind of thing to Qiu Feng. Why do you want so much?" Xue Lihong, who strongly supported the clear division of labor, rested her head on his boss's lap and groaned with her eyes closed.
"That has to be solved by General Qiu. Now the earth is lacking everything, and the hearts are not very unified. Every country has its own small thoughts, that is, we in China..." Xiao Mo became more and more worried as he spoke.
Xue Lihong suddenly sat up and pushed Xiao Mo down to the grass.
"If you keep talking about these things, I'll do it to you right here."
Xiao Mo raised his hands in a hurry, not forgetting to tighten the zipper.
Xue Lihong fell back on him without concealing her disappointment, resting her head on his chest and looking up at the sky, "A rare sunny day, the grass I found with great difficulty, if you dare to waste it, I will lock you in the bedroom until You gave birth to ten children for me.”
Xiao Mo laughed, "Where can I go to give birth to your child? Get up, you are too heavy."
Xue Lihong couldn't help but pressed on him deliberately.
Xiao Mo flicked his forehead.
Xue Lihong turned sideways and put her hand into his sweater, "If I want you to give birth, you can give birth."
"Oh? Are you androgynous?" Xiao Mole.
Xue Lihong pinched him hard.
Xiao Mo was so embarrassed by him that he grinned.
The calloused hand climbed up against his skin, continuing its ravaging process.
Xiao Mo was so tortured by the rough hand that he gasped and his eyes became moist.
After being gentle for a while, Xue Lihong said quietly: "My reproductive system is different from that of ordinary humans."
"Why is it different?" Xiao Mo held down his hand that was sliding down and asked with a blushing face.
"There is a kind of insect. When its species encounters a crisis of extinction, the only remaining leader will divide itself and transform its divided body into a fertilized egg state. Then the main body will lay these self-divided fertilized eggs. to another organism. Those fertilized eggs will slowly plunder the nutrients from that organism, and through a certain special enzyme, absorb the genetic advantages of that organism, fuse with themselves, and finally let that organism give birth to it. So a new insect emerged that was more adapted to the local environment."
Xiao Mo was surprised, "What kind of insect is this?"
"An extinct insect whose ancestor you must have heard of is Paramecium. Paramecium can reproduce both asexually and sexually. Their reproductive method can to some extent explain the origin of life on earth. , you can learn more if you are interested." Xue Lihong was a little excited when talking about bugs.
"Do you have that extinct insect gene in your genes?"
"Um."
Xiao Mo tilted his head and kissed the forehead of his big bug, "So you can reproduce asexually?"
"A little more advanced than that, you can call it asexual predatory reproduction. For example, when I put the dividing cells for reproduction into your body, it will automatically rob you of nutrients and your dominant genes, so that when he is born In the end, he will be a child with our two genetic characteristics, no worse than a normal childbirth."
Xiao Mo trembled in his heart, fearing that his Xiaohong would not be able to think about it and really wanted to have a child with him, so he quickly changed the topic to a safer direction: "How could insects with such a reproductive method become extinct?"
"Because of climate change, they didn't even have time to divide. Later, someone accidentally discovered the insect in the ice that was tens of thousands of years old. After that, someone extracted the gene of the insect and used it on many experimental subjects."
Hearing Xiaohong's indifferent words, Xiao Mo saw that the atmosphere was good and couldn't help but asked: "Xiaohong, how long have you lived? Why do you have Zerg genes? Who did such a cruel thing to you? ? And the backpack on your body... You have too many secrets, but you never tell me."
When it came to the last sentence, Xiao Mo felt a little aggrieved.
Xue Lihong raised the corners of her mouth and tilted her head to his shoulder, "That's because you didn't ask. I also wanted to see how long you could hold it in."
Xiao Mo was furious.
Xue Lihong looked at the blue sky and said slowly, "Let me tell you a story. The answer you want is contained in this story."
A long, long time ago, about a thousand years ago.
There was a prince-level figure in the Huaxia region. This man was obsessed with cultivating immortality. Not only did he find many Taoists to help him refine golden elixirs, he also entered Taoism to practice.
But after practicing Taoism for a long time, he found that the golden elixirs refined by the Taoist priests were of no use in cultivating immortals, so he drove all these Taoists out. However, he did not give up on cultivating immortals and immortality, but began to favor barbarian witches. The curse master was especially fond of a strange man he fished out of the sea with his own hands.
The man claimed to be a seaman and was demoted from the land of immortals. Most of his immortal magic was cut off, but he still had two or three protective treasures left with him.
The king saw the seaman using his magical methods, and he was so dazzled that he listened to him and ordered thousands of soldiers with excellent water skills to go into the sea to salvage the treasure ship for the seaman. For this reason, most of the thousands of soldiers died. Afterwards, the king reported to the emperor that these soldiers died resisting the pirates.
After the treasure ship was fished out, only the king followed the sea people into the ship to see it. After the king came out of the treasure ship, he was convinced that he could cultivate immortality and live forever.
But the king still did not dare to let the wizards and sea people cast witchcraft on him, so he found a large number of boys and girls and asked the wizards to cast witchcraft on him.
The sea people are also extremely curious about the methods of wizards, and are especially interested in poisonous insects and curses.
At that time, a barbarian wizard knew a mysterious method to make a human mother give birth to a Gu King. The Hairen used this method and their own special methods to cultivate twelve fetuses.
"At the beginning, all the twelve fetuses failed. None of them could survive, and all of them, including their mothers, were tortured to death." Xue Lihong sat up and hugged his boss.
"What happened next?" Xiao Mo asked.
"Later..."
Later, the seamen and wizards went through countless experiments and killed many experimental subjects. It took more than twenty years to finally obtain several unstable but viable embryos.
The king who provided funds and human bodies for experiments believed deeply in what Hairen said. Hairen told him that as long as those embryos could be fertilized and refined into human elixirs using his secret recipe, those who took them would be able to live for at least a thousand years.
At that time, the king did not know that the sea people were deceiving him. The sea people were not gods who were demoted to the mortal world from the kingdom of gods, but scientists who escaped from other higher civilizations. This person has dedicated his life to combining Zerg genes with intelligent biological genes to create higher and more powerful life forms that can deal with Zerg.
However, the experiments carried out by the sea people in this civilization all failed without exception, and because of the cruelty of the experiments and the harm to the intelligent creatures of this civilization, they were rejected by the entire civilization.
Hairen did not want to go to jail, so after escaping from his own civilization, he accidentally entered a wormhole and finally fell into the ocean near China on Earth. As a result, he happened to be seen by the king who came to seek immortality when he fell into the sea, and Rescued him.
"Are you one of those genetically unstable embryos?"
"Yes. And he is the only one who can survive for more than three days after being given birth to by his mother."
"Then how did you escape the fate of being made into an elixir?" After listening to the story, Xiao Mo was no longer as relaxed as before. Instead, he was worried about Xiao Hong in the story.
Xue Lihong inserted her fingers into his short hair, "Because the wizard, the seaman, and the king had a conflict over how to distribute the living elixir to us who were born alive.
Hairen takes it for granted that all of us experimental subjects should belong to him, and he wants to study further.
The wizards, especially the wizard who provided the method for the mother's body to give birth to the Gu King, believe that we, the experimental subjects, should have a share.
The king's idea is even simpler. He thinks that we experimental subjects should make elixirs for him to take, so that he can live for tens of millions of years.
So a fight broke out between the three. Hairen alone could not deal with all the wizards and the king's army. In order to appease the king, he made the experimental subject in the worst condition into a human elixir as agreed. "
Xiao Mo said "ah".
Xue Lihong patted him and said, "There were so many cruel things at that time. It was nothing to make pills out of living people."
Xiao Mo felt uncomfortable, "Then the king really lived longer after taking the human elixir?"
"No, he died not long after eating it. The originally unstable genes were inexplicably refined, and the rest were almost poisonous. It would be strange if the king did not die after eating them."
"Deserve it!"
Xue Lihong nodded, "As soon as the king died, the emperor at that time sent people to arrest those wizards and sea people in the name of murdering the royal family. Exactly three days passed, and I was the only one left with the experimental subjects dead. The sea people had a quick Those who escaped took me with them and ran away. It is said that none of the wizards ran away, and they were all caught and burned to death. For a long time afterwards, I struggled to make a living under the hands of the sea people."
"So how are the sea people treating you?"
"what you think?"
Xiao Mo carefully observed his lover's expression and saw that his eyes were calm, so he couldn't help but hug him and said, "It's all over."
"Yes, it's all over." Xue Lihong continued: "The sea man wanted to use me to create more similar life forms, but because of my unstable genes, all his late-stage experiments failed. And in order to paralyze him, I , he kept pretending that his IQ was not high and he was always obedient. He gradually became less wary of me. Then one day I killed him while he was not paying attention. The few things he had left, such as this backpack, And some tools, as well as the super nutrient solution I used for you before, they all belong to me."
Xiao Mo deliberately joked: "That nutrient solution hasn't expired yet?"
Xue Lihong bumped into him, "It's expired! The space in the backpack is almost the same as a vacuum, and the things placed in it will not be damaged for hundreds of thousands of years, unless the space in the backpack collapses."
"Then you have lived like this for thousands of years?"
"Yes. It's very long, but also very short. Because of the complicated genes in my body, there were many times when I couldn't survive anymore, I would find a safe cave to hibernate. I slept and slept, and I slept for most of the time. I woke up. I spend my free time wandering around, looking for ways to solve my genetic instability.”
Xiao Mo suddenly remembered something, "Where's that treasure ship? It should be the alien spaceship that the sea people are riding on, right? You didn't get that spaceship?"
Xue Lihong shook his head, "Most of the energy system of that spaceship was damaged. After it was salvaged, the sea people usually only used it as a laboratory. Later, the emperor at that time sent people to arrest them, but he only took me to escape. The ship that cannot move can only be left behind."
"Then you never looked back later?"
"Of course I looked for it, but unfortunately I don't know where it was hidden by the emperor. Later I even went to his tomb to look for it but couldn't find it, and I don't know whose hands it fell into."
This may be a mystery that will never be answered, like so many lost treasures throughout history.
"Who is that emperor and king?"
Xue Lihong talked about two very famous figures in history.
Xiao Mo opened his mouth wide, "No wonder that dynasty hated the art of witchcraft so much. It turned out to be the root cause."
"The royal family of every dynasty hates the art of witchcraft. They hate anything they can't control."
The mystery of his family's Xiaohong's life experience has finally been solved for the most part. As for what Xiaohong has encountered in his thousand years of life, he can ask him slowly in the future. This can be regarded as a kind of small talk between husband and wife. Interesting
"Then are you considered an insect or a human now?" Xiao Mo boldly asked the last question.
Xue Lihong turned around in an instant and pushed him to the ground again with her claws. "Would you know if you try? My dear boss!"
Boss Xiao couldn't help but look at his Xiaohong's lower body.
Xiaohong lowered her head and said, "Oh, I haven't taken off my pants yet, wait a moment."
Boss Xiao: "..."
