The birth of the new baby alien made the alien family a little more happy, and also opened the curtain of mating and reproduction.
One by one, the aliens begin to mate. Their fertilization time is very short. They can give birth to cubs within three days of pregnancy. If there is a food supply, the cubs can molt once in six hours and grow to a 1.6-meter juvenile stage.
.
After a few days of cultivation and supplementary food, the adult body will be able to decide whether to get pregnant again based on the situation.
According to Wang Xu's records, the most powerful alien can give birth to a cub in an average of five days, which takes less than half a month. In addition to the original 12 adult aliens, there are 25 more cubs in the breeding area.
cub.
These cubs grow very fast, one day at a time, rapidly transitioning towards maturity. From the day they are born, in just one month, the cubs also begin to enter the maturity stage and have the ability to mate and reproduce.
.
Under Wang Xu's supervision, the aliens multiplied in an orderly manner, and their numbers grew day by day.
After comparison, it was found that the number of aliens can be effectively controlled by feeding the amount of food.
When food is insufficient, the aliens will not mate, and may even engage in self-mutilation, artificially reducing the number of companions to share food with.
The No. 1 alien that Wang Xu has been paying attention to is now the mother of five little aliens.
As a hermaphrodite race, it thought about resisting and becoming a father instead of a mother.
But this is difficult. Alien No. 1 is born with a smaller body. Whenever it rushes to be its father, it will be knocked to the ground by other aliens.
Over time, he could feel the resentment of No. 1 through the glass. Every time a mature alien wanted to invade No. 1, it would violently resist.
Wang Xu really wanted to say that No. 1 played well and successfully prevented others from infringing on it, but we all know that this is impossible.
Aliens rely on their bodies to feed themselves, and Number One's physique is relatively weak among its kind. Every time it is beaten to black and blue, sometimes it can run away, sometimes it cannot. This is the life of Number One.
The taming work was still in progress. During the process of feeding and whipping, Wang Xu made these smart guys understand who was the boss here.
To this day, no adult alien dares to prick him. Their smart brains let them understand that the consequences of pricking him will be no food and being whipped.
No one likes to be whipped or starved, and aliens are certainly no exception.
Wang Xu thought this was a good phenomenon, but it was not good enough. The aliens he had raised were obviously afraid of him, but refused to obey his orders.
At first, Wang Xu thought that the aliens might not understand his instructions. Time has proven that the aliens can understand external information, but they are unwilling to react.
For this reason, he decided to adjust his strategy and add something new to the alien's simple social deconstruction.
"In the alien world, the strong are respected. Survival and reproduction are their only missions. Powerful aliens can command weak ones. But I am obviously not considered a same kind by them, so I have to gain their approval."
Wang Xu knows that it is difficult to get the approval of aliens. No creature likes to be controlled by others.
His solution is simple. If the alien doesn't recognize it, he must recognize the food.
After spending three hours, Wang Xu used zombie crystal cores to create a hundred crystal coins.
When the food was put in that day, Wang Xu did not put the food directly, but threw ten crystal coins into the cage.
The aliens looked very confused and picked up the crystal coins one after another. No one knew what they were for.
The next second, accompanied by a roar, five coin slots appeared in the cultivation area.
On each coin slot, a virtual screen displays an animal.
Rat, duck, sheep, pig, cow.
Starting from the first animal to the last, each animal is larger than the last.
When Wang Xu feeds the aliens, he usually uses chickens, sheep, pigs, and cows as feed animals. Seeing the images of these foods appearing in front of him, the aliens are gearing up, thinking that they are about to eat.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes
The imaginary food never appeared, and the aliens looked confused and crowded around the coin machine anxiously.
Wang Xu saw that it was almost done, and started to play the video screen in the breeding area. In the screen, a simulated alien was putting crystal coins into the coin slot.
After the crystal coins entered the coin slot, a lamb fell from the sky, and the alien happily carried the lamb away.
This scene kept repeating back and forth. The aliens watched quietly and did not move for a long time.
A few minutes later, a small alien picked up the crystal coin and put it into the coin machine with a picture of a lamb.
Under the shocked gazes of the other aliens, a lamb fell from the sky and was happily picked up by the little alien.
With the first one, there was soon a second one.
The aliens picked up crystal coins one after another, put them into the coin machine, and picked up the food falling from the sky.
There are ten crystal coins in total, and there are 57 adult aliens plus small aliens in total. The alien that acted first feasted on it, while the remaining aliens could only watch.
After a brief silence, the aliens started fighting for food.
Wang Xu frowned slightly. The next day, he built an independent glass room for the aliens. Each alien had its own room. If others wanted to enter, they would be blocked by electricity. The coin machines for exchanging food were in their respective rooms.
in the room.
This time, Wang Xu did not put coins directly in the breeding area, but gave each alien a crystal coin.
After the aliens got the crystal coins, they happily began to exchange them for food, some for sheep, some for cows, and some for pigs, and started a gluttonous feast.
Five days later, the aliens had understood the function of the crystal coins and understood that as long as there were crystal coins, they could get food.
From this day on, Wang Xu changed the amount of coins and the number of crystal coins in each cage.
For example, the smallest mouse can be exchanged for only one crystal coin, the chicken requires two, the lamb requires three, the pig requires four, and the cow requires five.
Wang Xu also began to distribute the crystal coins in each cage in a targeted manner. Some aliens only received one, some received three, some received six, and some did not receive even one.
When the aliens took the crystal coins and wanted to exchange them for cattle and sheep, they found that a crystal coin could only be exchanged for the most unpalatable rats.
Rats are very small and have little meat on their bodies, so they are definitely not good food in the eyes of aliens.
Realizing that if they put in a crystal coin, they could only get a mouse, the aliens seemed very angry and had to increase the amount of coins they put in.
Each alien crystal coin is limited, some have more people, some have less people, the more people can exchange it for a cow to eat, the less one can only exchange it for a mouse, and some can't even exchange for a mouse.
Although the aliens have no expressions, Wang Xu can feel their impatience, especially when they see that others have more crystal coins than themselves, they will always wag their tails and make an attack gesture, as if they want to snatch other people's crystal coins.
Wang Xu watched with cold eyes, it was like this on the first day, like this on the second day, and still like this on the third day.
The aliens are an intelligent race, and their intelligence is not low. After a few days, the idea that crystal coins are equal to food was formed in their brains.
An alien got one crystal coin on the first day, three crystal coins on the second day, and another crystal coin on the third day.
Instead of spending the crystal coins, it collected five crystal coins, exchanged them for a cow from the coin machine, and ate them with satisfaction.
In the next ten days, Wang Xu discovered through observation that not a single alien exchanged food such as pigs, sheep, and chickens.
If they don't have enough crystal coins on hand, they would rather starve for several days than save up the crystal coins and exchange them for a cow to eat at once.
Why is this happening? Is it because exchanging five crystal coins for a cow is more cost-effective than exchanging four crystal coins for a pig, or three crystal coins for a sheep?
Wang Xu planned to prove this problem, so he began to adjust prices, setting the price of cattle at ten crystal coins and the price of pigs at one crystal coin.
Soon he discovered that the aliens had changed their diet. They gave up cows as food and switched to pigs, which were cheaper and had a lot of meat.
As for the cow, no one cares about it. Ten crystal coins are too expensive, and the aliens have chosen to refuse to eat it.
Five days later, Wang Xu adjusted prices again. The prices of pigs, cattle, and sheep increased tenfold, the prices of mice dropped threefold, and the prices of chickens remained unchanged.
So the aliens changed their diet again and began to eat rats. A few wealthy aliens began to eat chickens, and cattle and sheep became unpopular objects again.
On this day, Wang Xu once again put in the crystal coins, and under the expectant eyes of the alien, he threw the crystal coins into the cage.
Just when he thought it was another peaceful day, an unexpected situation occurred.
