The two of them walked into a room. Lan Mu looked at Diana and said after some hesitation.
"You should already know the characteristics of this body of mine, right? I need a newborn Asari, so … "
Before Lan Mu could finish his sentence, Diana had already knelt down on one knee and growled in excitement.
"True Ancestor, please let me give birth to your child!"
"…" Lan Mu looked at the expectant Diana. To be honest, he was a little scared.
Did she have to be so self-conscious? So proactive?
He said, "You don't seem to understand. You're not the one giving birth to my child. This body of mine is the mother. No race can conceive an Asari child."
Diana said seriously, "I hope to conceive the child of the True Ancestor."
Lan Mu was stunned and understood what she meant.
Diana wanted to have a child with the True Ancestor. She actually took this opportunity to woo Lan Mu.
Sure enough, it was her style. Swift and decisive, decisive and resolute.
Just like Song Yixue fell in love with the Nine-Tailed Fox, Diana seemed to have fallen in love with her own Blood Race body.
It was unknown whether it was worship, submission, or true love. She had the directness of a Russian Huntress. She faced her own feelings and directly asked her True Ancestor for a child.
Even so, what they loved was only a one-sided version of themselves, a certain form of themselves.
"The real me is Lan Mu. I'm a human, a … human who hasn't lived in human form for a long time."
Thinking of this, Lan Mu shook his head with a bitter smile and said indifferently, "Don't mention this again. I can pretend I didn't hear it."
"Now, I need to make love with you. It's similar to doing it in real life. You'll feel the same. Do you agree? "
Diana was very disappointed. Her sad expression was directly reflected on her face. If the Blood Race saw their queen like this, they would probably be scared silly.
"Yes, True Ancestor."
Lan Mu whispered, "Don't answer yes. I'm asking you, do you agree?"
"I … I agree."
As he spoke, he reached out and hugged Diana. He had to admit that her body was really hot. Her muscles were beautiful and healthy. As expected of a Russian girl.
Diana replied stiffly, her eyes filled with confusion.
Suddenly, a consciousness intruded into her mind. She felt that her nervous system had merged with another existence. All external feelings were given to her by her brain. Now, the feeling that her brain gave her was the most perfect and indescribable feeling.
At the same time, Lan Mu's Asari's body was downloading the other party's genetic information. It automatically extracted the advantageous genes and combined them with Asari's genes to create a new life.
This was a true 'spiritual connection'. Diana and Lan Mu could feel each other's presence no matter how far apart they were.
Lan Mu could experience Diana's senses, but she was in a strange state. Lan Mu curled his lips and turned off the experience.
His brain was now able to shut off his six senses at any time. Whether it was pain, smell, or pleasure, he could block them or adjust them up and down.
Walking out of the room, Lan Mu asked the researchers to check the mother's environment. They detected that there was a newly born embryonic life in the body, which did not have a brain yet.
"This body structure … is too strange!"
"The fertility system can't even imagine. How could it grow like this?"
The Asari's body was different. The fertility system was different from any situation known to humans.
The Blood Breeds studied for a long time but could not guarantee that they could simulate such an environment. They extracted some body fluids. During the simulation, they quickly found that the growth of the embryo required a harmless radioactive substance.
They had never heard of this radioactive substance. There was no such element in the whole world.
Lan Mu walked out of the laboratory. He thought that this element probably did not exist in the whole solar system. He could only wait for him to create it in his angel form.
"There are still more than four days. Although the Asari's combat power is not bad, it is only not bad. What is more useful to me is the development of its brain."
"My brain is about five times more developed than a human's. This is not only an improvement in memory, reaction, and logical thinking, but also creativity and inspiration."
Lan Mu's brain could automatically learn, understand, judge, solve problems, and think abstractly. It could be said that the subconscious was much smarter than his self-consciousness. Although he suddenly had such a brain, his conscious thinking mode was still stuck in the past.
It was like a low-level computer suddenly changed to a top-level configuration, but the desktop system was still the old version. The user's operation of the computer would not change, but when it came to solving problems, the computer's performance would be reflected.
When faced with a difficult problem, the answer would burst out in the form of a flash of inspiration. It was a wonderful feeling.
…
In one day, Lan Mu visited all the major libraries in New York, specifically learning knowledge that could not be found on the Internet and could only be obtained from books. Although the New York Public Library and the libraries of several well-known universities had a large collection of books, there were only a few dozen books that were useful to him.
However, some of the academic materials in the universities were very good. Under Diana's arrangement, countless authoritative academic journals were sent to him.
While flipping through the books, America's core technological blueprints and theories were also provided to him. With the help of a vampire, obtaining this information was a piece of cake, allowing him to read the entirety of America's technology.
Like a sponge, Lan Mu crazily absorbed and comprehended these technologies. Combining them with the information he could obtain from the Internet, he had constructed a technological tree of Earth in his mind.
It wasn't just technology, but also history, culture, geography, economy, people's livelihood, and so on. Based on Earth's current situation, he had automatically drawn a picture of the future.
"So that's how it is …" Lan Mu was shocked by his unintentional discovery.
His subconscious was telling him that Earth was not far from its end.
It wasn't the end of the world brought about by anomalies. Without counting anomalies, through the combination of countless environmental reports and development reports, Earth's environment suitable for human habitation was approaching its end.
Similar scholars from various countries had also evaluated the global environment, concluding that humanity could still survive for another 200 years.
But what kind of brain did Lan Mu have? After combining the global information and his own evaluation, he immediately found that this was perhaps a bit too optimistic.
At the current accelerated rate of oil and coal mining, the areas on the Earth's surface that were suitable for the survival of plants and animals were being occupied by humanity's economic development, causing them to disappear in large numbers. The land's freshwater resources were constantly being depleted, and a large number of biological species were going extinct, causing desertification and drought to worsen in many areas.
The rapid development of mining that destroyed the air and surface systems, the proliferation of genetic technology, and the pollution crisis of the freshwater system, when combined, the consequences of these factors were extremely terrifying.
Saying that there were still 200 years of industrial development was simply too optimistic, 40 years would already be considered good enough!
Lan Mu's observation through the countless pieces of information was even more profound than the scholars themselves. He found that the environmental trends that were unsuitable for human habitation were gradually accelerating. The development of capital was an unrestrained model of development, and human civilization seemed to be in a race against nature. Betting on the speed of their development, they naturally wouldn't collapse any faster.
Who would be able to emerge victorious in this race?
In theory, humanity could really win this race, but there was a major factor that hindered humanity. There were more than 200 countries and regions in the world, and the technological barriers between them caused the same technology to be repeatedly researched by multiple countries, which greatly wasted the earth's resources.
If there were a large number of intensive natural disasters that led to a large number of plant deaths, then the time allowed by the earth's environment would be greatly reduced. The crisis of humanity would truly come. This was not a fair race to begin with.
If humanity didn't stop the current industrial development in the next 40 years, the natural environment would begin to collapse, and there would be continuous global catastrophes in the next 90 years. The environment would become more and more unsuitable for plant growth, and there might be a variety of wilting diseases that would cause a large number of plants to die. This would also lead to a decline in air quality, and even the atmospheric composition would change.
When life first existed on earth, the oxygen content in the atmosphere was very low, and it was considered a toxic gas for the species at that time. Until the birth of cyanobacteria changed the atmospheric composition, making the earth a paradise for oxygen creatures, but at the same time, it also destroyed most of the species at that time.
If, on the other hand, the oxygen began to decrease, it would be a devastating blow to the current ecosystem, and humanity would face suffocation, famine, and other hardships. Perhaps in the future, there would be a new species that could adapt to the environment, but that would no longer be human.
At this moment, Lan Mu finally understood the helplessness of CANC. The pursuit of space technology was not the escapist ideology he thought it was, but the cost of humanity's development had to be transferred to outer space resources. If humanity used all their energy to deal with the Zerg, even if they won in the end, they would lose the future.
The future of civilization was definitely to enter space, this was something that everyone knew, but it was difficult to implement. If the technological barriers between countries were maintained like this, then no one would be able to leave.
This was the fundamental reason why CANC was committed to unifying the global space industry and forming an international space team that shared everything.
"I take back what I said before …"
"The development of space technology is indeed urgent."
