The house in Laiyasli looks like a lovely fairy tale from the outside, but it is very empty inside.According to the standards for human living, this house can be divided into three or four floors, but here it is only divided into two floors, whether it is the living room or the corridor.The bedroom or the stairs are very large, as if some giants live here.

Apart from Sa Sa, there is also their other full-fledged partner, Mari-Hall Ranqi, who is at home now.When Yuan Yu and Mint entered the room, Ran Qi was sitting on a very tall wooden stool dealing with what looked like vegetables. The stool was so high that his feet were far from the ground. , I don't even know how he got up there.

Ran Qi's appearance is closer to the Geer male in Mint's impression. He is taller and thinner than Sa Sa, and the leaf-shaped soft fur on his head is longer, and it hangs down his back like shawl hair.

Seeing Yuan Yu, Ran Qi put down the pale pink leaf in her hand, raised her hand and greeted her: "Hi, Yuan Yi."

Sa Sa enthusiastically introduced Mint to him, and then explained the reason for their visit.Ran Qi said helplessly: "I'm really sorry, Lai Si's unplanned habit has caused you trouble."

"It's okay, I'm used to it. She hasn't been like this for a year or two." Yuan Yu pursed his lips, looked at Ran Qi again, and then asked in surprise, "Ran Qi, are you pregnant? Leia didn't Tell me, if I knew it earlier, I wouldn’t bother you.”

Mint couldn't help but look at Ran Qi's abdomen curiously after hearing it. It was hard to see because of the loose clothes covering it before. It wasn't until he put down his hand to stroke the abdomen that he could see that his belly was already high and round. Round like a ball.

"It's okay. Since the 'fluid production' gene was applied, Geer's natural delivery is no longer dangerous." Ran Qi said with a smile, "It's just that the belly is a little bigger."

Seeing his stomach, Yuan Yu couldn't help but want to laugh a little, and quickly coughed twice to cover it up: "By the way, Ran Qi, is this yours, or Sa Sa's?"

"Yuan Yi, did you still live ten years ago?" Sa Sa couldn't help laughing, "Now Geer has already implemented the new body donation system."

Ran Qi was still sitting on the very high stool processing some strange vegetables, while Sa Sa brought Yuan Yu and Mint to the living room, let them sit on the very big sofa, and poured them some gonta fruit. Juice, and then he went to the kitchen.Although Geer is similar to humans, there are still many differences in physiology. Gunta fruit is one of the few Geer fruits that humans can taste and eat without poisoning.But Mint took a sip of the beautiful-looking light yellow juice, but was almost choked by the horrible bitter sourness.

"The number one rule when visiting Geer's friends is, never drink gonta juice." Yuan Yu put her glass aside, "Especially don't drink the gonta juice that Geer, who lives with Iss, gave you. .Is likes the taste of tannins, and tannins are like monosodium glutamate to them."

Mint quickly put the juice in his hand aside, and asked curiously in a low voice: "What does the 'new body donation system' mean?"

"Actually, I don't know much about it. To be honest, I have basically never had a boyfriend with Geer. Most of Geer's boys like Yisi, hundreds of times more than women who like humans and Geer." Yuan Yu whispered, "But I guess, this kind of system probably means that those Geer boys who are conditionally pregnant donate their new bodies to the rebirth station, so that they can be used by Geer who needs to be reborn."

Mint was a little surprised: "Why did Geer obtain a reborn new body in this way?"

He remembered that Yuan Yu told him that the new human body is cultivated outside the body, and it can be directly set to cultivate a body with a certain degree of development, instead of starting to cultivate slowly with an infant body.

"Ger's in vitro cultivation technology is not very complete. Since Geer's physiological basis is very different from that of human beings, the Fleet is still researching how to directly cultivate adult Geer's body like cultivating humans." Yuan Yu explained Dao, "So now in the fleet, many female Geer will choose to regenerate into humans, while male Geer will generally not change their race. However, because Geer's body training cycle is very long, they are generally allowed to shorten the training cycle. Reborn to childhood up to ten years old."

In fact, there are not many Geer girls in the fleet who are still using Geer's body.Because there is not much difference between Geer women and human beings in terms of size and physical fitness, and the fleet was built by humans at the beginning, and various facilities were designed according to human physiological structure and living habits, so it is more convenient to use human bodies.For example, Sergey's former girlfriend, Julie, was originally a Geer.

But for male Geer, their body size is much smaller than that of female Geer. On average, they are like twelve or thirteen-year-old children at the biological age of human beings, so they are unwilling to use human bodies.Besides, the Gale boys prefer to live with Iss, because Is treats them much softer than the Gale girls—although they are really off-line sometimes.

"Oh, by the way," Yuan Yu looked around, but neither Qi nor Sa Sa paid attention to them, and whispered to Mint again, "I seem to have forgotten to tell you that Geer should be divided into three genders, It's just that the Fleet followed the language of humans and called them male and female."

She turned on the holographic projection on her wristband, took out one of the electronic encyclopedias, and dragged the image in front of Mint.

After reading the brief introduction of these few pages, Mint finally understood.Geer's reproductive method is very different from that of humans. Each human has two sets of chromosomes, while Geer has three sets of genetic particles similar to chromosomes, which are derived from their "mother" and two "fathers".

The scientific names of the three genders that are called Geer are not easy to pronounce, but in order to facilitate human understanding, the electronic encyclopedia abbreviates the three genders as female, α-type male, and β-type male.Geer is not conceived and nurtured by females like the original humans. Geer's females are called females only because they provide female gametes rich in cytoplasm during reproduction.The specific Geer reproductive process is probably that the female and the α-type male copulate first, so that the female gametes are fertilized in the female body, forming fertilized eggs and undergoing the first few cleavages, and then enter the β-type through female and β-type male | The male body continues to develop.Gale's babies were nursed by alpha males after birth - which is why Sasa has protruding breasts.

This way of reproduction was formed from the ancestors of Geer-the primitive marine three-lived animal.However, the primitive trizoan was not internally fertilized at the beginning, but oviparous similar to external fertilization.After a female terzoan lays eggs, two male animals are required to fertilize them separately, and then the eggs are taken care of by any one of the fathers.However, after competition among males, some males tend to evade the work of taking care of their cubs and push their eggs to another father to take care of them. Beta type of pups.In order to allow their offspring to be taken care of by their fathers, β-type males will only fertilize those eggs that have been fertilized by the α-type, and avoid wasting their own reproductive cells on those eggs that no one takes care of, and have also evolved to fertilize the eggs after fertilization. Inhale it into the body and keep it with you until the alpha father of the egg finds enough food to take over the offspring.

As the structure of three living animals evolved more and more complex, alpha-type males evolved a structure similar to mammary glands, which can convert digested food into milk that is easier for cubs to eat. This trait significantly improves the survival rate of cubs , so it is preserved.And the act of breastfeeding keeps the pups from hatching less fully developed, so the females lay smaller and shorter eggs, which take less time to hatch.After the competition between females and β-type males, the ovoviviparous mode in which the eggs hatch in the β-type males and develop for a period of time before being born again is formed, which further becomes a true viviparous, and finally stabilizes into Geer's triple birth Viviparous mammalian form.

Since both α-type and β-type male Geer pay more than female Geer in terms of raising offspring, the sexual selection pressure faced by female Geer is twice that of primitive human males, so female Geer The size of the male is also much larger than that of the male, which is basically twice the size of the β-type male Geer.And due to the need for reproduction, the size of the β-type male Geer is slightly larger than that of the α-type male Geer, and the difference is similar to the difference in body size between primitive human males and females.

The author has something to say: a brief description of the evolution process of three living animals [from the perspective of competition]:

0. Three parents give the same gametes.

1. Some tend to provide smaller gametes, causing others to have to provide larger gametes → differentiate into females. [Females are less competitive]

2. Some tend not to take care of their offspring, causing others to have to take care of their offspring → differentiate into α and β males. [alpha male competition is relatively unsuccessful]

3. α-type males appear to breast-feed → the eggs laid by females gradually become smaller → β-type males make the eggs develop in the body and give birth to live births. [Beta male competition is relatively unsuccessful]

(So ​​Geer's reproductive method is a product of the failure of everyone's competition [mistake])
