In Li Jie's villa, Lan was waiting for Li Jie's return. Li Jie didn't come back from his parents' house until around ten o 'clock in the evening. Lan was sitting on the sofa reading a book.
When she saw Li Jie come in, she asked, "How's the situation?"
Li Jie curled his lips. "Not good. My father has already been genetically transformed, but my mother hasn't. I've brought back the vitamin tablets they took. I'll check them later. I have to find a way to get Harry to help me make some special vitamin tablets. "
"Putting aside whether or not the X gene is activated, I can't accept the fact that the raw material of this thing came from the fake drug king, Marx. There are uncontrollable risks in this. " Li Jie handed a bottle of Nutrilite multivitamins to Lan. Lan glanced at it and put it on the coffee table.
Li Jie sat on a single sofa, tiredly pinching his Qingming acupoint. Lan stood up and sat on the armrest of Li Jie's sofa. She put a hand on Li Jie's shoulder and said, "But this doesn't solve the problem. Magneto's drugs are still in circulation. Even if they don't take vitamins, there are still various other things. Whether it's antibiotics or vaccines, as long as people are alive, they can't escape exposure to these drugs. "
Li Jie sighed. "Yes, even the son of my father's colleague has inexplicably awakened the X gene and obtained an ability to enhance his memory to offset his amnesia. This is a good thing, but I can't guarantee that there won't be other bad things happening. I don't even know how many people have actually been affected. "
Lan put a hand on Li Jie's shoulder and said, "So you want to find Magneto to solve this?"
"Yes, in fact, the biggest problem is the Mutants. In essence, as long as the negative effects of the X gene and some physiological diseases can be eliminated — after all, no one can be sure of the direction of the mutation caused by the X gene — then I'm not very opposed to it, as long as the X gene is developing in a good direction. Because if everyone in this world is a superman, then there will be no superman. "
Li Jie patted Lan's hand on his shoulder and said, "But I'm worried about the non-humans. Their Terregan Mist was a mutant poison. And we still don't know if there's a way to reverse this possibility. "
"If the king of the Mutants, the man called King Blackbat, finds out that all the people on Earth have become mutants, and that his people, who are also Mutants, will not appear, what will the King Blackbat think?"
"I guess the reason why King Blackbat still has a good impression of Earth is largely because of the people he gave birth to here. If I were to make a bold guess, a long time ago, during the era of the previous civilization, the Mutants already had the ability to enter the universe. "
"Then why didn't they just colonize the universe? Why must they hide in the Solar System? I don't think it's simply because Earth is their home planet, so it's hard for them to leave their homeland. This explanation is too simple, and the Mutants are too beautiful. "
Lan pulled out her hand that was held by Li Jie and gently stroked Li Jie's cheek. She liked the way Li Jie looked when he was seriously thinking and making deductions. Lan asked softly, "So, what do you think?"
"Let me make a bold guess. Maybe it's because of the population problem. Interstellar colonization and interstellar travel have conditions. One person can travel, but a civilization can't just rely on one person. If a civilization wants to explore and colonize the universe, then the population must be guaranteed. "
"When the population is too small, interstellar colonization and interstellar travel will not bring prosperity to the civilization. Instead, it is likely to accelerate the destruction of the civilization. Maybe there are different life forms among the alien life forms, and they may be different from us. But humans can't. "
"Whether it's the mutants or the Mutants, they are all born from humans. Humans are social creatures, and our basic characteristics determine the form of our civilization. "
Li Jie leaned his face against Lan's hand, feeling the warmth of her hand. "If, I'm just saying if. "If, and I mean if, the Mutants can't guarantee their reproduction. Or if the descendants of the Mutants aren't all Mutants. They may be ordinary people. Or the transformation process of the Mutants isn't as harmless as King Black Bat said. This process may be like the mutants, and there may be all kinds of accidents. "
"Then, they can't rely on themselves to reproduce. So, they need Earth. "As soon as Li Jie finished speaking, Lan understood.
"So, what you're saying is. The so-called Mutants are probably relying on Earth's huge population, and this huge population may give birth to Mutants to supplement their population?! "Lan realized that Li Jie's deduction was not impossible.
Although it was all hypothetical at the moment.
Li Jie patted Lan's back. "Yes, this is the only way to explain why a remnant of the previous civilization has been circling around Earth."
"Perhaps another way to describe them is that they are parasites outside the Earth. But what they need may not be Earth's resources, but the awakened Mutants on Earth. And this is the biggest contradiction in my opinion. "
"If the whole world becomes Mutants, then the source of the Mutants' population will be cut off. And this is disastrous for a civilization that can't rely on itself to increase the population. I don't know why the Mutants' population is negative. Maybe it's reproductive isolation or something? "
"Gaining power comes with a price. There are very few Mutants with powerful abilities without side effects. For example, when Professor first gained his ability, the thoughts of other people that kept drilling into his mind almost drove him crazy. He had gone through twenty to thirty years of training before he could truly grasp all of this. Most Mutants have to pay a price to gain power, such as laser eyes and Wolverine. "
"I don't believe that the Mutants are really that perfect. If they were really that perfect, why would King Black Bat cooperate with Nick? There are many problems here. Perhaps some people had turned into dogs when they transformed into the Inhuman Race. Some Mutants can turn into fish, and it's not surprising that some Mutants can turn into dogs. This reproductive isolation may also be an important key to their population base. "
"And without the supply of Earth's population, what do you think King Black Bat will do?" Li Jie gently hugged Lan and said.
Lan did not push Li Jie away. Instead, she said softly, "I think he will probably go crazy. If his civilization is destroyed in his hands, then he will go crazy. This is an irreconcilable contradiction, and it may even lead to a war. "
"Yes, so when I talked to my parents today, I thought about it a lot. Including all this. For ordinary people, Mutants, and Inhumans, Magneto's actions are a crisis. But there is often a turning point in a crisis. Maybe I have figured out how to make Magneto obedient. "Li Jie looked at Lan and said.
Lan smiled. "So aren't you going to find your companions and start saving the world?"
