Chapter 381 Dinosaur Egg

The two different races are currently maintaining a relatively peaceful relationship. This is naturally what Wang Lang hopes to see at the moment. War and killing are not the norm after all.

The power of the dinosaurs is enormous, and it is impossible to kill all the dinosaurs in one's lifetime. The earth in this world is not the only one dominated by human beings.

He is very curious about how the two races will coexist on the earth with the improvement of civilization in the future, whether they will cooperate with each other or fight each other.

From the current point of view, the technological level of mankind has shown a blowout development due to his arrival, but this speed of development can only last for a short period of time. He guessed in his heart that this technological leadership can last for about a hundred years.

A hundred years later, the number of human beings has reached a considerable number, and the technology of the dinosaurs has also improved in contact with human beings, so the strength of the two races is basically the same.

When the two races fight back and forth, but find that no one can do anything to the other, things will develop in a very interesting direction.

It is not impossible for humans and dinosaurs to call themselves brothers and sisters. If the two races leave the earth one after another in the cosmic age, who will represent the earth? This is a philosophical question.

Such a profound matter can only be left to later generations to solve.

As the New Year draws near, the people of Xia Kingdom begin to prepare for the New Year, and firecrackers are indispensable.

Although there are firecrackers saying farewell to the old year, Xia Guo's astronomy and calendar cannot match the warmth of the spring breeze.

The new year is also the winter solstice on this earth. It is the season of entering the cold winter. From this day on, the weather will become colder day by day.

The vast territory of Xia Kingdom presents different seasonal characteristics from south to north.

The north is icy and snowy, and it gets warmer the further south you go. While the northerners are wearing animal fur coats, the southerners in the southern hemisphere are wandering around the city wearing single clothes or shirtless.

After more than ten years of development, Yancheng has become a large-scale city.

The business here is prosperous, the industry is developed, and almost all the new things of human beings are included.

There are nearly 10 people living around Yancheng. Of course, with the current urban capacity, the city cannot accommodate so many people. Most of the population is distributed in the villages around Yancheng.

The continuous expansion of human beings has greatly reduced the range of activities of wild animals, and the battle between humans and wild animals for land has never stopped.

Today's human beings are no longer the era when they ran for their lives when they saw wild beasts. What's more, the Xia Kingdom does not prohibit the people from owning weapons, but in the Xia Kingdom's laws, ordinary people are not allowed to hide armor privately. Arrested for treason.

Although the name of the village is not a soldier, but a human being with a weapon is not as good as a well-trained soldier in terms of combat effectiveness, but there is still no problem in dealing with wild beasts.

The rapid development of agriculture has forced the common people to open up land around them, and they will kill all the beasts entrenched there. Whether you are a professional hyena or a carnivorous dinosaur living in groups, dare to stay in the eyes of humans In other places, the end will only become the spoils of war for the people to show off their bravery.

The end of the year coincided with the harvest season for the villagers around Yancheng. The large golden fields indicated that the year was not bad, and the joy of the harvest made the farmers rejoice.

As long as so much food is sold, I can buy a few new clothes for my wife and children this New Year, and I can go to the next extravagant restaurant in the city.

Going to a restaurant to eat is a fashion for urban people. Compared with cooking by yourself, having a good meal with a few friends and bragging with each other has become a common pastime for the urban population.

When the whole country was celebrating the approaching New Year, Wang Lang was attracted by another matter.

One of Fang Shaoshi's wives was about to give birth, which was a very new thing for Wang Lang.

The reproduction method of dinosaurs is different from that of humans. Humans are viviparous, and dinosaurs are twins. This biological gap aroused his curiosity.

In a relatively spacious small courtyard in the north of Yancheng City, Fang Shaoshi waited anxiously in the courtyard. He had already recruited a dinosaur doctor to deliver his wife who was about to give birth.

Hesitant dinosaurs, like humans, are creatures with extremely developed intelligence, and it will be extremely difficult to give birth.

Due to the huge head of human babies, it is difficult to give birth, while the eggs of dinosaurs are not the same size as their cubs.

While the dinosaur man was waiting anxiously, there was a loud and clear sound outside the door.

"His Majesty is here!"

Fang Shaoshi was startled when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked the servant he had found through hard work to get his official uniform in a panic. After hastily preparing, he stood respectfully at the door and waited for Wang Lang's vehicle to arrive.

Following the sound of orderly footsteps, Wang Lang came to Fang Shaoshi's house in a deer cart under the protection of hundreds of guards.

"Chen, Fang Shaoshi welcomes His Majesty!" Fang Shaoshi said in Shi Lunjia's need.

Because of the need to deal with dinosaurs in the future, under the training of Zhao Langzhong, Xia Guo also has more than a dozen translators who can understand dinosaurs.

After listening to the interpreter's explanation, Wang Lang raised his hand and said, "Excuse me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Is your wife giving birth?" Wang Lang asked.

"Not yet, Your Majesty, how can I let Your Majesty personally take care of your concubine's concubine's birth, I'm terrified!" Fang Shaoshi said respectfully.

Wang Lang smiled, and said to himself, "It's such an interesting thing about dinosaurs laying eggs, why don't I come?"

Of course, Wang Lang did not show any teasing expression on the surface, and said solemnly: "Aiqing has worked hard for me in the summer, and now my wife is giving birth, and it happens that the Chinese New Year is coming soon. This is also a rare happy event. Waiting for your son I'll give him a name when he's born!"

When Fang Shaoshi heard the words, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the dog can be named by His Majesty, this is its blessing, it is the glory of our Fang family, from now on, our Fang family will shed the last drop of blood for Xia Guo. "

At this moment, Fang Shaoshi was really excited. Wang Lang was able to name his little cub in person. This is an honor rarely seen by humans in the Xia Kingdom. Thinking about it this way, after years of hard work, I finally gained a firm foothold in human society. With this kind of honor, even after his death, the descendants of the Fang family can rely on this relationship to truly be no different from the Xia people.

Wang Lang smiled and said, "I am very pleased that Fang Aiqing thinks so. Let's go! Mrs. Zun is about to give birth."

Fang Shaoshi made a deep obeisance, and turned to welcome Wang Lang into his house.

After Wang Lang came in, he casually looked at Fang Shaoshi's residence.

The house covers an area of ​​about 300 square meters, and its layout is very similar to an ancient courtyard house. It is surrounded by brick houses and thatched houses, and there is a large open space in the middle.

And this Fang seemed to know how to enjoy himself when he was young, he even planted two fruit trees and some flowers in the yard.

"Please sit down, Your Majesty!" Fang Shaoshi moved a chair and placed it beside Wang Lang respectfully.

While the two were chatting, the closed door was opened, and the doctor of the dinosaur came out. He was shocked when he saw so many soldiers standing in the courtyard.

"What's wrong?" Fang Shaoshi asked anxiously.

"Return...Return to the official, Mrs. Fang gave birth smoothly, and two of the three eggs may hatch."

The doctor replied with some fear.

Seeing Fang Shaoshi's relaxed face, Wang Lang felt very strange. Only two of these three eggs could hatch. With such a low birth rate, why did Fang Shaoshi look so lucky.

"Fang Aiqing, is the survival rate of cubs of your race very low?" Wang Lang asked puzzled.

Fang Shaoshi nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know. Although women of my race can lay two to three eggs at a time, not many can hatch. When lucky, all three can hatch. Under normal circumstances, only eggs can be hatched." One, not even one."

Wang Lang was a little surprised. He thought that as long as the hatching conditions were right, the number of life hatched by eggs would grow much faster than that of humans. He didn't expect this dinosaur to be unreasonable.

"How long does it usually take for a cub to hatch?" Wang Lang asked.

Fang Shaoshi thought for a while and said, "According to the Xia Kingdom's calendar, it takes one and a half years for eggs to hatch after they are laid."

"It took so long." Wang Lang was even more surprised this time. Counting the time when Fang Shaoshi's wife was pregnant, it took nearly two years for the dinosaurs to reproduce for one generation, which was much longer than the time for humans to reproduce.

Calculated in this way, although dinosaurs can lay many eggs in one litter, even if they can hatch, the situation of human reproduction is not much different from that of humans.

This made him see the hope that the number of human beings will surpass that of dinosaurs. As long as there is enough time, the number of human beings will definitely be a considerable number, and as long as the medical and health care in Xia Kingdom develops, the survival rate of infants and young children will be greatly improved. improvement.

"Your Majesty, our race reproduces very slowly, but it is said that another race on the Eastern Continent reproduces very quickly, and the number is far greater than ours." Fang Shaoshi said slowly.

Wang Lang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Tell me about the situation over there."

"I don't know the specifics. We have not been in contact with the East for a short time, less than 200 years. At the beginning, the Orientals came to find us by boat. Their appearance is different from ours. Although our reproduction method The same, but obviously different races, they are stronger, we have fought them before, both sides have victories and losses, that's all I know, more specific maybe only those real nobles are relevant material."

Wang Lang stroked his chin and began to analyze it carefully.

Although Fang Shao mentioned the situation on the east side before, in his subconscious mind, there are also dinosaurs there, no different from Shi Lunjia.

Of course, this is from the perspective of humans. From the perspective of dinosaurs, they are two completely different races, and the gap between them may be even greater than that between humans and chimpanzees.

This situation is very interesting. Originally, he thought it would be very strange to have two different intelligent species on one planet, but he didn't expect it to be a situation of melee among the three kingdoms.

The corner of Wang Lang's mouth twitched. This unexpected discovery can be said to have advantages and disadvantages for human beings. The existence of the three forces should be a relatively stable relationship.

Human beings are currently on the weak side. If they want to survive between the two big races, this balance must be maintained, and they must increase their strength in a low-key manner, and it is even possible to wipe out both of these two races by means.

But this crazy idea only flashed in his mind, and then he denied it. He was almost 40 years old, and it was a dream to accomplish this goal in his lifetime.

It would be nice to be able to fully explore this world in a few decades, and it would be ridiculous to think about killing two big clans that have grown for an unknown amount of time.

Seeing Wang Lang thinking, Fang Shaoshi shut his mouth wisely.

Wang Lang tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers.

Xia Guo has now sent an expedition team to New Zealand and Australia. I don't know if that place is occupied by dinosaurs. If there are dinosaurs there, they must be those from the east.

However, if those people can draw with Shi Lunjia, it means that their level of civilization is not too high. Australia is isolated overseas, and it is very likely that there is no civilization there.

If this is the case, then humans must occupy Australia, and may even have proper contact with those guys in the east. Presumably those people are surprised that apart from the alien races in America, there are intelligent humans in this world.

The corner of Wang Lang's mouth curled up, and he couldn't help sneering.

"It's getting late, so I won't disturb your family reunion. When your children are born, I will personally give them names." After Wang Lang finished speaking, he was about to leave in person.

Fang Shaoshi hurriedly got up to send Wang Lang off respectfully.

The bustling streets did not arouse Wang Lang's interest at all, and now he is constantly thinking about how to deal with the relationship with the other two tribes.

This complex race relationship is even more complex than the relationship between different countries among human beings, which is an extremely huge challenge for him.

The footsteps of the new year are approaching day by day, learned people even imitate the appearance of the palace, and paste the word "Fu" in front of their house. This thing is said to bring good luck for the coming year. We still like this kind of thing tightly.

People who are reluctant to buy paper engrave the word "Fu" on the gate or wall of their house. Although the font is crooked and unsightly, the spontaneous behavior of the people makes the atmosphere of the New Year even stronger.

During the daytime of New Year's Eve, the common people wore new clothes and bought various items in the shops. The largest commodity distribution center in Xia Kingdom, the trading station in Beijing, was overcrowded.

A large amount of money accumulated for a year flowed to the market on this day, pushing the commodity circulation of Xia Kingdom to its peak.

In restaurants and restaurants, storytellers are naturally happy. It is precisely because of the arrival of the New Year that people in the city often rest in restaurants for a while after shopping. Even if they are eating their own dry food, they only need a glass of water in restaurants, but As long as you stay here, the storyteller will have a role to play. Everyone can sit here with peace of mind and listen to themselves telling magical stories one after another.
