Otherwise, aliens originally reproduced in both sexes, but later for some reason turned into asexual reproduction. This may be more reasonable. Don't you always see artificial wombs replacing natural reproduction in science fiction novels? Other than that,
I don't find it strange that the star people's biochemistry level optimizes the genes of the embryo before conceiving a baby.
My mind was getting more and more confused. I already had some idea of the social structure of aliens, but after hearing what Zaza said, all my previous speculations were thrown away.
Because I couldn't understand it, this topic got stuck for a while. Zaza wanted to say that I wanted to hear it too, but the communication just couldn't go on. It would be great if I could know more about the cultural background of aliens.
Later, we moved the topic to mother, and then Zaza gave me another surprise. I won’t mention the specific process. In short, he said that his mother was a tree, not another alien.
I immediately thought of the insect tree. I almost thought Zaza was an intelligent giant insect. Fortunately, Zaza said no, and also shared some knowledge about the insect tree with me. I will talk about this in detail later.
According to Zaza, he was born on a giant tree, but from his description, I think the tree he refers to should be a giant vine. He said that the mother was full of fruits.
, every ripe fruit is an alien.
Well, the aliens in the co-author are all the same as gourd dolls, grown from vines. No matter how I hear them, they sound like fairy tales.
I didn’t know what to think at the time, so I casually asked him if all aliens grew up like this. Zaza said that they were the only ones born from trees, and trees don’t bear nobles. Did Zaza mean that?
I don't know what this means. I use this word just for convenience.
When asked again, Zaza couldn't explain clearly again.
After being in contact with him for such a long time, I have gained a certain understanding of him. I know that this is because he does not know how alien nobles give birth.
The difference between the two levels of aliens was so big, it was really beyond my expectation, so I asked Zaza what kind of relationship the nobles have, such as mother and son, husband and wife, etc. In short, I explained it for a long time.
time.
At that time, I had a very bold guess: maybe the aliens growing on the trees were civilians at the bottom of society, while those aliens who reproduced sexually, or were born from the belly, were the alien aristocrats.
However, the answer Zaza gave me was that he did not understand the nobility and knew almost nothing about the nobility, but he told me with certainty that neither the nobility nor the common people had a relationship like husband and wife or something similar to husband and wife.
Well, I frustrated him again. To be honest, I can understand whether aliens are polygamous or polyandry, but I really can't imagine a society without husband-wife relationships at all.
This topic basically ends here. Later, I asked Zaza again if he knew what gender was. I thought his answer was that he didn't know, but the reality was just the opposite. He said that he knew gender.
, I just learned about it recently. Then he told me that gender belongs to animals.
I knew without asking that civilians definitely have no gender. If I asked him again if nobles had gender, his answer to me was still unclear.
I mentioned the career issue before and later got the answer. According to Zaza, the occupations of alien civilians are similar to the occupational distinctions in arms such as infantry and armored soldiers, rather than occupations in the human concept. Let’s take a closer look.
, I discovered that all alien civilians are basically soldiers. They are born for war. Those who are more lucky are just joining the battleship, and those who are unlucky are just soldiers.
Like other questions, there is still no answer to what happened to the nobles.
I dare say that I now have a certain understanding of the social structure of aliens, but what I understand belongs to civilians. Those mysterious nobles are like mysterious legends. Not to mention me, an outsider, even alien civilians have no idea about them.
Their understanding is pitiful.
I was puzzled, how could two classes of the same race be so isolated?
But then I thought about Asan’s caste system. That set of things is no better than the alien system. Maybe it’s not as good as aliens. At least the two-tiered social structure of aliens is better than Asan’s.
The five-story style is much simpler and does not have as many social problems as Asan.
In addition, I also made indirect inquiries about the military strength of aliens. Communication was difficult, and I couldn't explain it too deeply, so I didn't find out much.
I felt that Zaza understood what I meant, but he just pretended not to understand and deliberately didn't say anything.
It's right to think about it. Even if the rebels are aliens, how can they wear the same pants as me, an earthling?
Later, I don’t know what I was thinking, but Zaza took the initiative to mention it to me again, saying that there were almost a thousand battleships on Io, and many, many infantry. I don’t know if I understood it correctly.
Let's stop talking about it here, and I will add more if there are new discoveries in the future.
Let’s go back and talk about the insect tree.
I have talked about this topic several times. The function of the insect tree is the same as what we think, which is to produce bugs, all kinds of bugs. As for the function of bugs, there is no need to go into details. The experience of us prisoners has been very good.
Explains the role of bugs in alien societies.
I accidentally mentioned the insect trees and asked Zaza why the insect trees were no longer visible. Then Zaza told me that all the insect trees had been put away.
At first I thought zhaza meant dormant, like burying grapevines in the soil in winter, but later I learned that he meant cutting them down and storing them.
I was very surprised, so I asked a few more questions, and found out that aliens store insect trees because they feed on insect trees, and they are the aliens’ main food source!
The insect tree is really a treasure. It can not only produce insects but also provide food. I really want to give Zaza a thumbs up and tell him that your recipes are really extensive.
But here comes the question again. After being a prisoner for such a long time, why haven’t I eaten anything like a worm tree? It’s not like I’ve never seen a worm tree before. It’s fleshy and looks more like an animal than a plant.
What does the food you eat as a prisoner in the dungeon resemble the insect tree?
Could it be that what they gave us to eat were scraps from the insect tree?
This issue has been discussed for a long time, but there has been no answer. I mentioned it to Zaza once, but Zaza couldn't explain it.
In fact, I have always known that there are only two possibilities for why we have become like humans and ghosts. One is that there is a problem with the water, and the other is that there is a problem with the food.
I don’t think it’s strange at all that aliens feed us insect trees directly. They have plenty of them. How easy would it be to just take them and eat them?
But they didn't do that. Instead, they specially made some weird things for us. Who would believe that there is no reason for this?
Sigh...sigh first!
I will add another chapter today, and then, for a month starting from today, I have to work every day, that is, neither Sunday nor Saturday. The reason is due to environmental inspections, and I have to work the night shift until midnight every day.
Although I work the day shift, I can be transferred anytime when something happens. I really want to ask, do all urban management workers deserve to die? There is no establishment, little income, and no overtime pay. People still don’t understand it. The most disgusting thing is that no one wants to do it.
Who cares, leave all the offending matters to us.
It's okay to leave it to us, but the treatment will keep up? But what about the result? Forget it, I will do my best to ensure updates during this period.
