Chapter 99 The fatal problem of Valor
It is normal for a civilization to have various problems, because civilization is composed of thinking beings. Where there are ideas, there will be contradictions, and when there are contradictions, there will be conflicts.
Even a united civilization will encounter natural and man-made disasters that cannot be overcome by technology.
Qin Yue has even seen a civilization where it was smooth sailing, and then felt that it was all about leveling up from beginning to end, that the existence of civilization was meaningless, and that eventually all members collectively self-destructed.
The level of civilization is constantly moving forward in the process of constantly solving problems.
Vallo also encountered many problems, some of which were quite fatal.
The first one on the list is fertility issues.
The fertility of the Walo people is quite strong, with two or three children a common occurrence. Female Walo people can give birth every year from the age of 14 to three to five years before the end of their lives, and the fertility of the Walo people is not How much harm will it cause to the body? It is a common thing in Valo to give birth in the morning and then go to work in the fields in the afternoon.
In Qin Yue's view, this is a group of races that have entered a civilized society, but still have strong animal habits in their genes. Unlike humans, their physiological structure is fundamentally different from animals.
Logically speaking, such a fertile race should not encounter fertility problems, but now they really do. One of the main reasons is the war with another civilization that has lasted for thousands of years.
Vallo has never fought such a difficult battle. At first, the children happily joined the army, but people will die in the war. Death in the sea of stars means becoming a vegetative state in reality.
In the early years, the 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 are not burned, a vegetative state means an additional burden on the family. An additional burden on the family means it is more difficult to support more children, so they begin to have fewer children.
The fewer children they have, the more affection they have for the children they have, and the less willing they are to burn them if they die.
Others gradually became resistant to war when they saw that their children would go to war and become so miserable after death.
However, there is no way to avoid war. They cannot refuse their children to be sent to the battlefield. In order to reduce the pain, some people have begun to choose not to have children.
The second reason is the emergence of Xinghai.
Xinghai is much more fun than the real world. In reality, you may not be able to afford a house or a wife.
But in the sea of stars, you can drive luxury battleships and travel around various planets. You can also spend dozens of coins to buy a large villa. You can spend hundreds of dollars to have some fun in Huajie, or buy a house that looks like a tile. Luo's subordinate races are not expensive either.
In front of your fellow Valo people, you are a loser. You are not good-looking, have a low IQ, are poor at studying, and have poor command skills. You have grown up in vain and have nothing to attract the opposite sex.
But among the subordinate races, you are a higher race, a superior race, someone who everyone must respect and fawn over. And among the subordinate races, there are races that happen to match the aesthetics of the Valor people.
Even if you can't find such a race, you can still find a robot company to customize it. With today's technology, you can have whatever appearance and personality you want. It just needs to be recharged frequently.
Since you are being criticized in reality, why not find a partner who is cheap and respects you in the sea of stars?
But such a partner is genetically isolated. Moreover, after you have finished enjoying yourself in the sea of stars, you have become a saint in reality, but the child will eventually be born in reality!
The result is that the more prosperous the star sea is, the lower the fertility rate will be.
Another problem brought about by the declining fertility rate is that the proportion of the Warro people in the entire Waro civilization is rapidly declining, while the proportion of subordinate races is getting higher and higher. They dare not rashly attack the subordinate races because now The population of the subordinate race has accounted for 84% of the entire Valor, and a single move can affect the whole body!
This is not even counting the huge number of subordinate races that are only treated as slaves and are not included in the normal population.
Valor's expansion speed has slowed down since 30,000 years ago. When encountering that small civilization, I used to just draw A, but now I have to wait and see for a long time, not because it is difficult to defeat, but because it is difficult to defeat. No one will care about them when they come down. If that civilization is directly clicked, you still have to be responsible for raising them.
"How could it be so miserable?" Qin Yue looked at Dou Xiang and smiled, but soon he thought of a simple solution.
Why not do cloning?
Even if cloning is not done, in vitro fertilization is possible. The genetic genes of the male and female parents are collected, and then a culture jar is built to simulate the maternal pregnancy environment.
Is this technology difficult?
Level 1 civilization can almost be done!
Qin Yue turned to search for relevant papers, and then discovered that this technology was being developed and had been in use for hundreds of thousands of years.
But he failed to succeed. Qin Yue just searched briefly and found countless papers, all of which discussed the difficulties and key points of this technology.
Qin Yue clicked on the latest one and took a quick look. The experimenter found that Valo's mother secreted a substance called CPH4 from the fourth to sixth weeks of pregnancy. This substance can promote the baby's bone development, but The content of this substance is extremely rare, and the institute cannot collect enough samples for research. Without this substance, all babies cultured may have rickets.
Clicking on another article, the experimenter found that in the first week of pregnancy, during the formation of the baby, a mysterious substance in the blood of the mother of Valo suddenly increased, and then suddenly disappeared a week later. It is not clear what this substance is and what role it plays in the formation of the baby.
"This is nonsense!" Qin Yue was speechless. He remembered that he had entered the ruins of a first-level civilization, where there were ready-made fertilized egg cultivation facilities. It was not that complicated at all, and it was at a level that he could understand even without a sophon.
Analyzing the composition of chemical substances and deducing their synthesis methods are things that first-level civilizations should know. It is impossible for organisms of their first- and second-level civilizations to have substances that cannot be synthesized by lower-level civilizations, because the bodies of lower-level civilizations are basically evolved naturally by nature. You, a second-level civilization academy of science, say you can't do it, you are talking nonsense!
Qin Yue looked at the researchers, Pok Verota, Katonya Verota, Babaman Verota. Verota, Verota, all Verota, and occasionally you can see a name starting with a few moons, that is the Moon Sheep Clan. "Is this intentional by the Verota Clan?" Qin Yue thought about it, and simply took out the sophon to search for information in large quantities. The Verota Clan has controlled the scientific research power of Valo for hundreds of thousands of years, and the projects they have studied are more than hundreds of millions! But in front of the sophon, these projects are like pulling silk from a cocoon, and Qin Yue sorted them out one by one. After a long time, Qin Yue's eyes lit up, as expected! As the first affiliated race to join Valo, the status of the Verota is not as low as that of other affiliated races. It can be said that if Valo is a big family, the Verota Clan is the steward of this family. Except for some core secrets, everything else is basically under the control of the Verota. For example, a large number of factions in the Academy of Sciences. There are still a large number of Valor people in military science, warships, artillery research, etc., but departments such as biology, chemistry, medicine, basic physics, basic mathematics, etc. have basically been occupied by the Verota clan, especially in the genetics category, there is no Valor people!
It seems that Verota serves Valor everywhere. In various documents, reports, and articles, Verota always respectfully calls Valor the main clan. Even if he has been pardoned by the Supreme Sky, this title has never been changed.
Verota's loyalty to Valor is very much loved by Valor Supreme Sky, especially out of the idea of setting an example for other races, the Supreme Sky has given Verota considerable trust.
And Verota did not live up to this trust. He completed all the tasks assigned to him in an orderly manner. The accounts of Valo for nearly ten thousand years were clear and organized, and Verota did not touch a penny. The program system created by Verota for Valo was fully open to Valo in the background. For the remarks on the Internet that were not favorable to Valo, Valo had not spoken yet, and Verota warned and arrested them first. He was quick and never procrastinated.
This performance was simply loyalty to the extreme!
But is Verota really loyal?
Qin Yue looked through a few of Verota's failed projects, including fertilized egg culture, quantum coding, theoretical research on strong and weak interactions, and gravitational field theory.
Among the vast number of projects that Verota successfully studied, these few projects were not conspicuous at all.
It is better to say that we have done so much work, and only a few projects have not been completed. How dare you say that to me?
However, the failure of fertilized egg culture technology means that Valo civilization cannot carry out 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 they have high enough computer knowledge, can invade Valo's system. Valo's system has no secrets in front of real masters.
The failure of the unification of the theory of strong and weak interactions 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 the top level at the second level. It can use electromagnetic fields and radiation fields, but it cannot use the highest level, the most useful and the most powerful gravitational black field!
Verota dug a pit for Valo!
A pit that looks prosperous on the surface, but when encountering a truly powerful enemy, you will instantly find that you are strong on the outside but weak on the inside and vulnerable to attack!
PS:.
I wrote 6,300 words today, and the total number of words is 250,000.
In the past, when I wrote a book, 250,000 words were basically close to the finale.
This book has just been written.
I don't know what went wrong. Am I a fool? I feel like I don't talk too much nonsense, and the plot is advanced very quickly.
Strange
At this rate, it may be put on the shelves next week. Alas, it's a pity that the full attendance in August is gone.
