Lighting up super-god technology in the Three-Body World

Chapter 214 The Balance of the Universe

In his previous life, Jiang Fan was an immortal being, but he died in an experiment. Immortality in terms of natural lifespan does not mean that one will never die.

He smiled and praised his daughter.

"You have completed a remarkable study. It is foreseeable that the entire planet will cheer for the Department of Biotechnology when this drug is announced!"

Luo Yinxi awkwardly tucked her hair back.
"However, Godfather, no human trials have been conducted yet. The above data are only simulation results, and the actual situation is still unknown."

Jiang Fan puffed out his chest, seemingly unconcerned, and said...
"It's alright, if you understand the theory, you'll understand everything."

Then, changing the subject, she casually asked,
"Honey, who were you thinking of giving this to just now?"

Luo Yinxi was caught off guard and said...
"Chu"

But after uttering only one syllable, she realized what she had done, her face immediately turning bright red. She glared resentfully at the old man, and said indignantly,
"Godfather, you're trying to trick me into telling me!"

Jiang Fan's acting skills were also well-tested, and he immediately put on an innocent face and said,

"What kind of platitudes are you asking, honey? I'm just asking if you've decided on your test subjects yet?"

After making excuses, he switched to an extremely exaggerated expression and said in a sarcastic tone,
"Oh~ it seems my daughter has a secret she's hiding, even her godfather is wary of her~"

Luo Yinxi immediately denied everything with a triple denial.
"No, I didn't, please don't think such things!"

Jiang Fan took the initiative and became the host.
"Then why do you say that your godfather tricked you into revealing information? What information did he try to get out of you?"

Luo Yinxi blushed and shook her head repeatedly.
"No, no, no, you must have misheard."

Jiang Fan was also a master at feigning ignorance.

"is it?"

Luo Yinxi nodded repeatedly.
"Uh-huh, yes, yes."

The old man readily accepted the situation.
"Maybe I misheard. Getting back to the main topic, what are your thoughts on the experiment subjects, daughter?"

Luo Yinxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, unaware that Xiling was watching the father and daughter's battle of wits with a maternal smile. Indeed, the old fox is shrewder.

The girl's shyness gradually faded, and she replied in a light tone,

"Let's continue with Gao Xiaping. He's already experimented with the first generation of super genes, so it won't hurt to experiment with the second generation."

For various reasons, only clones travel on the long-distance spaceship, while I remain on the high cliffs of Earth: Did you ask for my opinion?
Jiang Fan asked for him.

"Would he agree?"

Luo Yinxi waved her hand dismissively.

"Godfather, he will!"

Gao Xiaping: Feed me peanuts, feed me peanuts!

Jiang Fan stood up from his seat.
"That's good. I look forward to your experimental results."

Having said that, he turned to leave.

"We're leaving now. If you need anything, just ask your sister Xiling."

Unusually, Luo Yinxi didn't try to stop them. After watching them leave, she covered her face with her hands, relieved to have escaped death.
"Thank goodness I wasn't exposed. Otherwise, I would have been so embarrassed!"

Back in her office, Xiling asked Jiang Fan,
"Why not continue to probe Xiaoyinyin's intentions?"

Jiang Fan replied with a smile,

"No need, I already know who it is."

Xiling's beautiful eyes widened in surprise. "Who is it? I don't know anyone here?"

Jiang Fan was captivated by her adorable appearance and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek.

"Didn't you hear your daughter utter a single word?"

Xiling nodded.
"I heard it, but I only heard the pronunciation. There are so many homophones like 楚, 褚, 刍, and 处."

Jiang Fan Road,
"Without a doubt, it must be the Chu of the State of Chu."

"why?"

"Because there is a person surnamed Chu, and he is about the same age as my daughter."

Xiling immediately countered with a question,
"You mean Chu Tianshu? But I haven't noticed anything unusual between him and Xiaoyinyin. They even rarely see each other."

Jiang Fan shook his head.

"Children's views on love may not be what we understand. They have never been saddened by the passage of time, nor have they ever been troubled by material life. So, who knows if this feeling was planted decades ago and only sprouted today?"

Xiling straightened her delicate body, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"You mean these two had something going on decades ago, but it only started to show up decades later? That's incredibly slow of a reaction!"

Jiang Fan let out a sigh.
"Perhaps this is the truth. Long lifespans inevitably lead to prolonged reactions in certain aspects. Look at the cases of Trisolarans and Earthlings forming couples. How many of those Earthlings are from the new generation?"

After being reminded, Xiling immediately drew up a statistical chart. Among the partners of the Trisolarans and the Blue Star people, 90% of the Blue Star people were Jiang Fan's age, and another 10% were people who were decades older than Jiang Fan.

"Huh? Why is this happening?"

Jiang Fan did not answer, but instead asked Xiling to continue the statistics.
“Look at the new generation, how many children have found partners.”

This time, the statistics are even more alarming. Numbers don't lie; that proportion of less than one in a million is truly terrifying.

Xiling's face turned pale.

"Is humanity going to become extinct?!"

Jiang Fan gently tapped her head.
"What nonsense are you talking about? In an era where life expectancy has been greatly increased, the new generation of children are only between 20 and 30 years old. It's normal that they don't have the awareness to reproduce."

"The very essence of life's reproduction stems from the threat of death,"

"Even in the era of the United Nations, the age at which humans have children as a whole is constantly being pushed back, isn't it?"

"Because unlike in ancient times, when people faced daily survival crises such as not having enough food or clothing, people in a safe environment naturally wouldn't think about having children early."

"If it weren't for the medical claim that women over 40 are considered high-risk for childbirth, would you believe that the overall reproductive age of humans would extend from 30 to 40 or even 50?"

"The emergence of gene-enhancing drugs and super gene-enhancing drugs, along with major medical breakthroughs, means that human reproduction before the age of two hundred will be completely safe,"

"So before this age, one would naturally not have the idea of ​​procreation to continue life."

“In this day and age, my peers and the older generation choose to have children simply because of ingrained thinking, and this ingrained thinking is becoming smaller and smaller.”

"The new generation of children has absolutely no such inertia. Expecting them to increase the human population is simply wishful thinking."

For every phenomenon the man mentioned, Xiling would draw corresponding statistical trends, and the results were always identical, which greatly disappointed her.
"Ah~ Wouldn't this mean there's less and less fresh blood joining human civilization?"

Humans are Xiling's foundation. Only when the number of humans increases significantly will all kinds of ideas emerge endlessly and as numerous as the stars, thus making her more and more omniscient and omnipotent!
Jiang Fan shrugged his shoulders.

"There's nothing we can do; this is the law of nature, the balance of the universe!"

"Once second-generation super gene serums that can extend lifespan to humans become widespread, this phenomenon will gradually spread from the new generation to all of humanity,"

"I estimate that the human population will remain at a certain level, probably around 50 billion, barring any unforeseen circumstances."
