That's right! Alive!
As Lin Ke spoke, she raised her hand and gently tapped her shoulder, making a gesture.
"As I have seen, it will actively break off those protrusions that cannot be accommodated in the new shell, even if it is very painful."
"Because the right to live is more precious than temporary suffering!"
Musa listened intently, his brow furrowed slightly, his fingers stroking the gold jewelry around his neck.
His expression gradually changed from initial curiosity to deep thought, and finally, he seemed to have reached a certain level of cognitive resonance with Lin Ke.
“But Holy Pharaoh, what will be the consequences of this transformation?”
"...Protected himself?"
Lin Ke simply nodded in response to the question.
"That's right."
"The new shell gives it unprecedented defensive capabilities, while the spikes protect it from ordinary predators, and the hard material enables it to withstand ordinary impacts."
"And its larger size means that it can survive in deeper, more hidden waters, avoiding the greedy eyes of other predators."
Lin Ke shook her head slightly and sighed as she finished speaking.
"Of course, this will also put extra weight on it, and it will require more effort to move it."
“The light steps of the past have become steady strides, and the agile leaps have turned into clumsy crawls.”
"Everything comes at a price."
Indeed, what Lin Ke described is exactly the current state of Holy Egypt.
Holy Egypt has now reclaimed all its territory, which is vast, but at the same time, many new problems have arisen in its administration.
Just like the lord of Matru City secretly selling grain, as the territory expands, management becomes much more difficult.
Musa, upon hearing Lin Ke's words, nodded thoughtfully.
His expression grew increasingly excited: "Holy Pharaoh, this sounds like an exchange."
"They gained protection but lost flexibility."
"For those who enjoy observing crabs, what you said today about the other side of the Mediterranean has been quite enlightening for me."
Lin Ke listened to the other person's words and simply corrected them: "To be precise, it's choosing a more suitable way to survive."
"In dangerous waters, adequate defense is far more important than extreme flexibility."
"Moreover, this type of crab has another characteristic."
Upon hearing this, Musa's eyes lit up again: "Oh? What are the characteristics?"
Lin Ke continued to explain, "It will continuously change to a larger and stronger shell as it grows."
"This type of crab is always vigilant about the sea, ready to undergo its next molt at any time."
"This instinct to constantly update and adapt to change is its true way of survival."
Musa's eyes widened slightly, as if Lin Ke's words had illuminated something deep within his soul.
“Holy Pharaoh, so, this kind of crab…”
Lin Ke smiled and continued, "That's right. The key to this kind of crab is understanding how to seize the right opportunity and avoid making the wrong choice."
"Neither escape nor resistance can avert annihilation."
"Therefore, by eliminating the wrong options, we can find the right path."
"True strength lies not in the physical body, but in how to use external resources to make up for one's own shortcomings."
"Therefore, it does not have a strong exoskeleton, but it can make use of the hardness of the shell; it does not have offensive weapons, but it can deceive the enemy by camouflage."
"They can even encourage other like-minded people to do the same."
Lin Ke then withdrew her gaze and looked into Musa's eyes.
"The King of Mali".
"This is not an innate advantage, but an adaptation learned later in life."
"Even with limited innate conditions, as long as you are good at leveraging resources, you can create your own way of survival."
When Musa heard the words "the way of survival," tears suddenly welled up in his eyes.
He looked at Lin Ke, speechless for a moment.
These two leaders from different civilizations reached an understanding with each other by telling the story of the crab.
"Holy Pharaoh..."
Musa remained silent for a long time, then nodded deeply.
His expression shifted from initial confusion to understanding, and now to admiration and recognition.
But Lin Ke's voice did not stop.
"The struggle for survival never stops."
"But I believe that if we can respect each other's living space, all kinds of creatures can coexist and thrive together."
“Some fishermen understand this principle; they throw juvenile crabs and female crabs during their spawning period back into the sea to ensure the sustainable use of resources.”
Musa then took a deep breath, his expression becoming much more serious.
“The Holy Pharaoh is absolutely right.”
"Just like shallow waters, every living thing has its own space and value."
"Some people are obsessed with competing for limited food, but they don't realize that overfishing will only lead to resource depletion."
"Only through reasonable allocation can life continue."
Lin Ke nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to the dark seawater further away.
"It seems I share similar views with the king of Mali."
"However, such phenomena sometimes occur in nature as well."
"Some seemingly weak creatures, through special abilities or clever camouflage, are able to survive safely under the noses of more powerful predators."
"They may not have a sturdy shell or sharp claws, but thanks to their unique survival strategies, they live longer than many fierce predators."
Musa nodded in agreement as he listened to Lin Ke's words.
"That's the key."
“Every life has its unique value and wisdom for survival.”
"Just like those small fish that dart among the rocks, although they are small individually, they can find a foothold in a treacherous environment by relying on the strength of the group and their agile maneuverability."
"They do not confront the strong head-on, but can quietly roam around the strong's flanks when the strong are not paying attention."
The two exchanged a knowing smile, a hint of understanding in each other's eyes.
"Night has fallen, Chief of the Mali tribe."
Lin Ke then turned around and looked at the other person with a smile.
Musa, on the other hand, gently shook his head, his eyes filled with admiration for the person before him.
"Holy Pharaoh."
“I have attended many world conferences, but leaders like you are extremely rare.”
"Seeing you today has given me a sense of reunion after a long separation."
Hearing Musa's words, Lin Ke nodded slightly: "I have a similar feeling, Mali's chieftain."
Just then, Musa looked at Linke and suddenly took a deep breath.
“Holy Pharaoh, tomorrow’s meeting will probably be far from what you expected.”
If you are unsure how to make a decision, please pay close attention to me.
"You will understand when the time comes."
