Chapter 271
"Your idea..."
That being said, Mo Nan knew that the so-called older female insects that Lan Yi mentioned were actually not much older than them.
They are no longer the ignorant insects of the past, and naturally they understand that the lifespan of their own race is far more than what appeared in the past.
A few months after the female insects on Tianyun Star hatched from their eggs, the unicorns who received orders from the main civilization would gouge out their wings located at the shoulder blades.
The wings of female insects are very important to them. Losing them does not only mean that they lose the ability to fly. More importantly, they also lose the opportunity to evolve for the first time after entering the sub-adult stage.
The loss of the opportunity to evolve and the lack of methods to repair and treat it directly affect their lifespan.
The body, which should have maintained its peak condition for one or two hundred years in youth, begins to lose its strength in just a dozen years after adulthood.
After the age of fifty, signs of aging in appearance become more noticeable, which should only appear at the end of their lives.
However, it cannot be said that there is anything wrong with it.
After all, female insects in their fifties are almost at the final stage of their lives. In order not to cause trouble to the insects at home, most of them will leave before they feel the end.
Before the arrival of Mr. Doctor, the Tianjia Zerg were barely surviving in the gathering place. It was not that they did not want to support and care for the elderly female Zerg, but it was really difficult to do so.
It's different now.
Because of changes in food rationing, everyone was treated equally, regardless of age.
In addition, everyone lived a very warm winter this year. Not only was the mortality rate of young insects much lower, but some insects that were not as healthy as young female insects also survived.
But compared with young female insects or those who have not yet shown any physical problems, they really can't do anything and can only sit at home doing nothing.
Lan Yi saw that he fell silent mid-sentence and asked, "Why, do you think my method is not good?"
"You've heard Luo Shen talk about their physical condition. How long do you think they can hold on?"
Mo Nan sighed and stuck to the facts, although he also hoped that things would be as good as Lan Yi said.
Lan Yi was not disappointed when he heard this. "Of course I know, but I can't just do nothing because of this."
"I believe they don't want to become a burden and a nuisance to everyone at the end of their lives."
This may sound a bit harsh, but it is what Lan Yi really thinks.
Lan Yi's tone was very calm. "Luo Shen also said that there is currently no treatment for this condition. Even drugs to delay the onset of the symptoms are still under research."
"It's their turn now, but it may not be many years before it's our turn."
What Lan Yi said was very cruel, but it was the truth and there was no point in admitting it.
On the entire Tianyun Star, except for the female insect cubs that hatched after the last starfall, no female insect, including adult female insects, has insect wings.
This kind of man-made defect is not so easy to treat. Besides, being able to treat is one thing, and curing is another.
No one knows how long it will take to develop a drug, or whether they will have a cure in their lifetime.
They are not young anymore. If they are unlucky, it will only be more than ten years. By then, will they be willing to be useless insects who can only be taken care of?
"So there's still a problem?"
"You've made it sound so serious, what else can I say?" Mo Nan waved his hand. He had to admit that Lan Yi's words hit him hard and he couldn't ignore them.
"But I have one thing to say first."
"you say."
"Give priority to the female insects that are in better physical condition." Mo Nan was worried that those in poor physical condition would leave soon after they arrived.
Lan Yi saw his concerns and gave him a strange look. "Of course. I don't want the cubs to accept the concept of life and death too early."
“Then build the nursery on the first floor.”
"The first floor, including the front yard, is quite large. It shouldn't be a problem to renovate it to house these larvae."
After agreeing with Lan Yi's idea, Mo Nan immediately started thinking about how to place the cubs.
"If any female insects come to class with pups, they should leave them at the nursery when they arrive, and then take the pups back when they leave."
"As for the female insects who are responsible for taking care of the cubs, I simply converted the classroom on the first floor into a temporary dormitory so that they don't have to run back and forth."
Not all older female insects have family members to take care of them, but some of them are lonely.
"In a few days, the temperature will rise to an acceptable level and then we can open it to the public."
"As for the next few days, I will contact the construction team right away and ask them to rush the work."
Lan Yi was reading a textbook on his laptop and replied without even looking up, "You're responsible for these things. You don't need to tell me."
"I'm going to go to Zhou Xing's place later to see how the area designated as an agricultural production zone is progressing."
"Looking at the pictures and videos, the crops we planted earlier are growing well. If all goes well, we can expand the planting area."
"When the next harsh winter arrives, besides being able to achieve self-sufficiency in the supply of nutrients, perhaps we can also..."
The other side.
An aircraft took off from the agricultural area and flew in one direction at a constant speed.
"Zhou Xing is more capable than I thought." Qi Heng said to A0.
[You don't actually need to come here specially. The Matrix network already covers this area. If you want to find Zhou Xing, you can contact him directly.]
"I just came to see if the star plants are growing well. I didn't come to see Zhou Xing specifically."
The area designated as an agricultural production zone is a whole plain. In addition to greenhouse cultivation, there is also a large area of open-air cultivation.
The seeds that have been genetically modified and optimized have strong cold resistance and have all been planted under mechanized planting.
When the weather warms up, it won’t take long for large fields of seedlings to grow.
Compared to the plants grown in the open air outside, the plants grown in the greenhouses interested him more. They were not just ordinary crops, some of them could be used to make medicine.
There is even a small area that has been specially opened up to try to grow special plants that can absorb star power. After they grow up, they can be used as medicine, which may be able to help the current condition of the female insect.
Although the system has a set of planting methods for cultivating star plants, it is still too difficult for Zhou Xing, who has never been exposed to it.
Thinking of his discovery when he came into contact with the star plants, Qi Heng was thoughtful. It turned out that he still had to find male insects to cultivate them.
Star plants are sensitive to star power, and their growth is also affected by spiritual power.
"How are the male insects in Area 1?"
What aspect are you asking about?
"Hasn't a lot of male insects chosen the course on the basics of mental power?" Qi Heng yawned. He hadn't had a good rest these days, and he would fall into a dream as soon as he closed his eyes.
Sometimes when I wake up, I feel dazed for a moment before I can tell whether I am awake or not.
Although only a few days had passed since the time he gave, Qi Heng still had high expectations.
[Currently, only four applicants have applied for the written exam. These are their answers, which have been initially graded by the exam grading system.]
【The scores are all above 95 points.】
A0 did not specifically report the fact that a male insect had applied for the exam, but this did not prevent it from giving an immediate response when the Lord asked.
"Only four?" A little too few.
The time you gave was too short. It was only four and a half days at most.
[Currently, most of the male students who have signed up for this course are at around 25% progress, and a few who are faster are only at 65%. These four are the fastest.]
Four days ago, I learned from Zhou Xing that the cultivation of the star plant was not going well. No matter how hard I tried, I still couldn't improve the survival rate and growth condition of the star plant.
It’s obviously not that Zhou Xing is not careful, but the cultivation of star plants is something that most male insects are good at, even in the past.
The female insect, especially one in poor mental state, has no way to deal with Xingzhi.
Under such circumstances, he had to revise his original plan.
We had originally planned to open the [Spiritual Healer] course simultaneously after the construction of the educational colleges in each district was completed in half a month, as well as the prerequisite for enrolling in the course - the basic mental knowledge assessment.
Now, we have to put the assessment of basic knowledge of mental power in the forefront and issue a notice to male insects that meet the minimum standards for cultivating star plants and have appropriate potential levels of mental power.
According to what A0 said, these four male insects are really fast.
"How could a male insect with high potential and good talent be interested in growing star plants?" Qi Heng looked through the information of these four male insects. He had stated from the beginning that this time they were here to cultivate star plants.
Therefore, while not setting an upper limit for the potential level of male insects, he reserved a very low lower limit, just to have more male insects to help cultivate star plants.
Basically all the male insects with optical computers in Area 1 received this notice, but in the end not many male insects signed up.
Qi Heng glanced at the number '4/618' on the side, which meant that there were still 614 male insects who had not applied for the assessment, and there were still five and a half days left until the deadline.
He only reserved a total of ten days for them to prepare. Those who failed to take the test within the deadline or whose test scores were below 95% would all fail.
【Do you need me to confirm their wishes? 】
"Ask them. If they have no problem with it, then you can try the treatment you mentioned."
What is the treatment?
Of course, it is a recovery operation to release the blockage of the male insect's brain area.
Qi Heng opened the holographic simulation game specially created by the system, which mainly simulated the entire process of lifting the brain blockage and recovery surgery, except for a few mistakes that occurred in the beginning when he was not proficient.
In the end, the entire surgical process was completed without any mistakes.
...Male insects with high mental potential have stronger mental strength than those with low potential, and can hold on longer when problems arise.
Therefore, the recovery surgery for lifting the brain blockade is destined to start with male insects with higher potential levels of mental power.
Just as he was thinking, A0's voice rang out.
[Your Excellency, they all replied "no problem" and signed the consent form.]
[Do you need me to arrange a surgery for them now? ]
"I'm going to meet Chu Xiu today." Qi Heng said.
