There is a fact in nature that occurs especially among mammals.
Female mammals lose their ability to reproduce after a certain age.
But male mammals are different. As long as they can still move, they have a certain probability of retaining fertility no matter how old they are.
Such examples widely exist in higher mammals such as humans, and the same situation is also common in nature.
[In July of the eighth year, you are aging]
Zhao Meng finally felt the breath of death.
After entering the eighth year, he felt that his condition was getting worse and worse, perhaps because at this age he was still competing with young male platypuses for mates.
Or maybe the annoying young new partner sucked away the last bit of his energy. In short, Zhao Meng felt like he was going to die.
At this time, Zhao Meng imitated the female platypus and blocked the entrance of the underwater cave with something, waiting for the final time to come.
Zhao Meng has experienced too much death, and he thinks it doesn't matter.
But looking back on the life of the platypus, he still found it interesting, even though most animals go through the cycle of mating and reproduction, and regard their offspring as the continuation of life.
However, the platypus is quite at ease most of the time.
It was the comfortable life that made Zhao Meng slowly calm down and stop thinking about the problems of those who suffered.
"The simulation is coming to an end, and it's time to go back and face real life. I wonder what kind of entries I can extract this time?"
Zhao Meng fell into a deep sleep. At some point, a line of text suddenly appeared in front of his eyes:
[Simulation successful]
Looking at these words, Zhao Meng was in a trance for a moment, and then he felt the human body, and the influence of the platypus was also eliminated by the shadow.
"Death in his sleep is a good ending."
Zhao Meng muttered and opened his eyes. It was still the familiar thatched house, and it was still dark outside.
"You're weird!" Zhao Meng, who had just returned, suddenly heard a cold voice in his ears.
Hearing this voice, he was stunned for a moment, and then he realized something and looked at the corner of the house.
There was a metal box standing there, and the sound came from inside.
"What's weird?"
However, in the face of Zhao Meng's rhetorical question, the metal box became silent again. Seeing this, Zhao Meng shook his head and said nothing more to the Yin Ji.
"Draw the entries first!"
Zhao Meng closed his eyes directly, and his consciousness came to the virtual space.
At this time, the colorful light group representing the platypus had turned white. At the same time, a glowing lottery ticket appeared in front of the phantom with a human head and a snake's tail.
"Hopefully the paralysis can be extracted."
Thinking about the purpose of this simulation, Zhao Meng did not hesitate at all. As soon as his consciousness moved, he shook the lottery tube.
Soon a blue light appeared in front of him. When the blue light dissipated and saw the content of the entry, Zhao Meng sighed helplessly:
"It's not paralysis!"
【Fart Oil (Blue)】
"You will have special oil glands that secrete oils that work with special effects."
"So that's what it does!" Zhao Meng thought to himself, then thought of possible ways to use the entry.
In ducks, there is a special gland near the buttocks.
This gland secretes waterproof oil, and ducks usually smear this oil on their bodies from time to time to facilitate their activities in the water.
In addition to having a duck-like beak, the platypus also has such a structure in a certain part of its body, and it also needs to be painted on its body from time to time to maintain its fur.
It can be said that the platypus is a creature with its own protective fluid.
"It has a special function. Could it be said that it has other functions besides waterproofing?"
"Speaking of which, I don't have hair covering my whole body, so what's the use of applying this oil on my body?"
"Could this simulation system strengthen this entry in some way?"
Zhao Meng thought for a moment and recalled that when he simulated this magical animal, he didn't seem to find any other outrageous effects.
"I can't understand!"
"That's all! I don't know how to extract such strange entries, let's move on to the next one!"
Zhao Meng's thoughts moved again, and a dazzling light emitted from the lottery tube:
"Withdrawal of funds!"
However, looking at the golden entry, Zhao Meng was not happy at all.
What he wants is [paralysis].
At this time, the golden light dissipated, and the content of the entry appeared in front of him.
[Egg-fetus duality (golden) (why is there still no birth) (long-distance bus)]
"You can transform your unborn offspring into egg-laying and viviparous stages."
Looking at the content of the entry, Zhao Meng thought to himself:
"The content of the entry is quite different from what I expected!"
"But what's the use of merely transforming an egg into a fetus?"
Thinking of this, Zhao Meng took another look at the content of the entry.
He has simulated so many animals, and he understands various characteristics of animals.
He also knew a little about the difference between eggs and fetuses.
The advantage of viviparous birth is that the young can quickly adapt to life in nature, such as some artiodactyl horses, sheep and other creatures.
They can run and jump as soon as they are born, and gain the ability to move.
Humans are, in a sense, premature babies.
However, viviparous birth requires the mother to pay the price of pregnancy and double the energy obtained from the outside world to replenish her physical strength.
The resulting decrease in mobility and dystocia during childbirth will greatly increase the risk of pregnancy for female mammals.
But Dan Sheng is different,
The cost for parents to care for their young has dropped significantly.
Some reptiles even only need to bury their eggs in sand, wet soil on the shore, or in rock crevices where the temperature is suitable. They only need to wait for the natural temperature to be suitable and allow the eggs to hatch freely.
Most reptiles will ignore their offspring, leaving them to their fate and undergo natural elimination.
As a result, the survival rate of future generations will also become a question.
However, Dansheng also has many advantages.
For example, there will be almost no dystocia, and a large number of eggs can be laid at one time.
If there is some nest-protecting behavior, or simply incubating their own offspring like birds, it can also increase the fertility rate of offspring to a certain extent.
"And if the pregnant offspring is turned into an egg!"
"Then you can take the offspring with you and wait until you find a suitable place to hatch the eggs."
"In a sense, if humans had this skill, could they avoid difficult childbirths?"
"and……"
The female ghost with a human head suddenly appeared in Zhao Meng's mind. These female ghosts had been pestering him endlessly these days.
He also gave the female ghost a lot of [love].
However, there was still no sign of the human-headed female ghost's offspring being born, which made him wonder whether the human-headed female ghost had a difficult delivery.
"If the child of the female ghost with a human head is turned into an egg, will it be able to change some of the current status quo?"
Thinking of this, Zhao Meng felt a little moved when looking at this golden entry.
