"Well, don't look so grave. You're not the only one trapped in a birdcage, and you're not the only one with this conditioned reflex—it's more like this. The empire is full of people like this."
The system chuckled softly, "After all, apart from people like me in the slums, and high-ranking officials like you, most people are just humans whose personality activations are fixed. By the way, many of the families you see don't even have blood ties. However, since all hospitals are controlled by the Empire, they won't allow these people to show any problems when they go for examinations."
"No blood relationship?!"
"Well, after all, genes that are docile and won't develop strong resistance or other complications no matter how many mutations they undergo are rare—so the Empire often uses templates. Also, if there are only a few sections, adjustments are relatively easy..."
The system pondered for a moment and then said softly, "By the way, all the people in the empire are infertile. Their reproductive function is removed at birth."
“…” Nothing invaded the brain, but Chu Shangli still felt a “buzzing” sound in his brain.
"Varied--"
"Incredible, isn't it? Only a small percentage of women have fertility capabilities—the rest are under surveillance. Once they're married and reach childbearing age, they'll undergo a physical examination and various eye tests before embryos are directly injected into the women's bodies." The system paused, and after the screen in front of them flickered, a spreadsheet appeared.
"Look here." The system said quietly: "This is time - what did you find?"
Look at the time displayed on the screen, which are the pregnancy period and the delivery period——
The education I received in Meso was, of course, about the ten months of pregnancy and childbirth—but the number shown above was not ten months.
The minimum time from pregnancy to delivery is eleven months, and the maximum is even fifteen months.
In my previous life, when I left Mae Sot and went to another school, I gradually couldn't keep up with the progress of my studies - part of the reason was that I hesitated when writing down the answers.
When I first started being bullied, my test paper was nailed to the corridor.
"Look, she's such an idiot—no wonder she was kicked out of Meso. She actually thought the reproductive period for human children is nine to ten months—hahahaha..."
Chu Shangli was filled with laughter. What he was thinking at that time was that if a group of people wanted to bully you, they would find any excuse.
Even if it is made out of nothing.
However, could it be that outside of Mesopotamia, the common sense we accept is also distorted?
I didn't want to believe it at first - but for a long time, I didn't know about the body and the slums, and the prototype of the system also regarded itself as a happy existence in the slums. It can be seen that external indoctrination is still very important.
Of course, the most important thing is the logical consistency.
Once a situation occurs where a large amount of information is instilled into the system that is different from the common sense learned before, there is a high probability that a strong collapse of faith will occur.
Therefore, the reason why the empire was divided into regions was to prevent serious clashes of opinions among these people.
He was thrown into a school outside of Meso, and in the eyes of those around him, he was a complete lunatic.
If I was thrown into the slums in my previous life, it would be the same—
This is a method of using special constraints to make everyone see each other's lives as even more pitiful...
