A month later, someone brought the good news of pregnancy, and China was finally going to have fresh blood joining in.
In order to commemorate the birth of the first fetus in the Yanhuang base since the end of the world, Ao Xin even organized a commendation meeting and rewarded the couple with a large amount of points.
The pregnant woman was just an ordinary woman in the Yanhuang base. Her husband was a grassroots manager at the Yanhuang base. Before this, Ao Xin didn't even know her name.
After the commendation meeting, she was sent to Sky Island.
In the following year, more and more people became pregnant, but none of the people Ao Xin knew were able to conceive successfully.
Including his two wives.
In fact, the pregnancy rate of other members was not high either. After a year, only 36 people successfully conceived.
You should know that although China's population has decreased greatly, the Yanhuang base has only one million people, and the male-to-female ratio has reached an astonishing four to one, but there are still more than 200,000 women.
With such a huge difference in the ratio of men to women, it is easy for women to find a partner. Even if some people have high standards or are unwilling to find a partner, they are ultimately a minority.
However, only more than 30 people get pregnant in a year, which is very abnormal.
Apart from humans, the conception rate of other creatures is not high. Their numbers are smaller than humans, but the male-to-female ratio is much better than that of humans, reaching four to six.
But they only conceived twenty-one babies this year.
Ao Xin has even started to have everyone take turns going to Shanghetu for a physical examination. Could it be that the apocalyptic zombie virus has destroyed the reproductive system of all living things?
"Brother Xin, will it be like what's written in the old novels, that the stronger the person, the harder it is to have children?"
One night, after Ao Xin finished another round of farming, Jiang Shuyue came up with an idea.
"It seems to be the same in nature. The more advanced the creature, the harder it is to give birth. Insects and small fish lay hundreds or even thousands of eggs at a time, while herbivorous animals like cattle and sheep can already walk around freely within a few hours of birth."
"But it takes many days for the cubs of predators like lions and tigers to open their eyes."
"It takes our human cubs a year to walk, and more than ten years to mature and become independent."
"Our current physical fitness is beyond our imagination before the apocalypse! Even a nuclear bomb wouldn't be able to kill us now, right?"
"Perhaps the strengthening of the body is also an evolution of the life level, and the difficulty of conception may be related to this."
Ao Xin agreed with this statement, and he even thought so himself.
Because there is another more important testimony, which is that the pregnancy time of all living beings is extended.
For example, the gestation period of a dog is about 63 days, but a pregnant female dog sent to the sky island took a full 133 days to successfully give birth to puppies.
However, after a year, the first human who became pregnant still showed no signs of giving birth.
The hospital built on the Sky Island is fully equipped. According to the examination of the instruments, the fetus in her belly is still not fully developed, and the estimated pregnancy period may be at least two years!
But what the truth is still needs to be studied by professionals. Now everyone enters Shanghetu one by one to undergo a physical examination, and everyone also leaves their blood samples for the scientific research team to study.
But what surprised Ao Xin was that the puppy had the right to use the God-given space since birth!
Moreover, because its parents are both members of the Yanhuang Base, it automatically becomes a part of the Yanhuang Base without having to reapply for registration.
Being able to use the divine space means being able to exchange for training certificates for domineering and spiritual pressure.
This is the foundation for becoming stronger.
He had also worried about what would happen if children born after the apocalypse could not use the God-given space. Now it seemed that his worries were unnecessary.
The next day, Ao Chen returned, ending another treasure hunt.
This time she brought back a lot of devil fruits, especially the Brain-Brain Fruit, which was her main purpose for going out this time.
Ao Xin took her into the Shanghetu to find her father, and used the reward reappearance certificate to exchange for the magic potion, and gave it to her father Ao Kang together with the Brain-Brain Fruit.
This was something they had discussed long ago, and Ao Kang no longer refused.
First take the magic potion, then eat the Brain-Brain Fruit.
Ao Chen kept staring at the top of Ao Kang's head, and after a while he said with some disappointment:
"Dad, why hasn't your head gotten bigger?"
She was impressed by Vegapunk's huge head, especially his brain, which was so big that it could no longer be placed on the top of his head. Instead, it was divided into parts to create a special place to store the brain.
So she thought that her father would also have a big head after eating the Brain-Brain Fruit.
Ao Xin smiled and said:
"How could it be so fast? It definitely requires long-term use and development of the brain. Only when the original brain is not enough can the brain grow. Dad just ate the Brain-Brain Fruit, it is definitely impossible for it to grow that big immediately!"
Ao Chen suddenly realized and said again:
"But Vegapunk's big head is so ugly. Even if most of it is cut off and stored, it will still have an apple-like antenna on top. It's still so ugly! Will Mom dislike Dad when the time comes?"
Bang!
As soon as Ao Chen finished speaking, he was slapped on the back of his head: "What nonsense are you talking about, girl! Is your mother such a superficial person?"
Zhang Hong laughed and scolded:
"My husband is the most handsome no matter what he looks like!"
Ao Chen curled her lips. Ever since her parents became younger, they often showed off their love in front of her, which made her feel jealous.
"Another display of affection!"
She muttered softly, and when Zhang Hong heard it, she said to her:
"Your brother has two wives, and you're not young anymore. It's time to find a boyfriend you can entrust your life to."
Ao Chen said dejectedly: "I feel like no one is worthy of me..."
This is true. Ao Kang and Zhang Hong are both extremely good-looking. Ao Xin is also a model of handsomeness, and Ao Chen's appearance is naturally at the peak of human beauty.
There are many men in the base who like her, but not many of them dare to try to approach her. The few who dare to approach her make her feel that they are ordinary and she looks down on them completely.
Not to mention that Ao Xin's strength can suppress everything, her own strength alone is firmly in the top five in the Yanhuang base!
She looks down on those who are weaker than her, and there are not many people who are stronger than her.
"Why!"
Zhang Hong sighed, this is the bad thing about women being too strong.
Unless Ao Chen is like Li Mingming, relying on his strong strength to support a group of young handsome men.
But it is obvious that Ao Chen is not such a person.
After Ao Kang ate the Brain Fruit, he said to Ao Xin:
"Tell Meng Kui to build a safe base on Sky Island specifically for storing brains. Don't you have a sealed ghost technique? Seal this base when the time comes."
"I'm different from Vegapunk. I also have the Operation Fruit, which allows me to directly remove the brain without any damage. After the Operation Fruit removes the brain, I and the brain are still a complete whole. I don't need an antenna to receive signals from the brain."
