The mention of the word birth in Steelmane Empire is actually quite intriguing.
The population of the Steel Mane tribe is relatively small, which is also related to the characteristics of their own race, because the fertility rate of the Steel Mane tribe is very low. When a mother is pregnant with a child, the pregnancy period is very long, and it often takes up to 36 months to give birth.
, once premature childbirth or miscarriage occurs, there is a high probability that the child will be born with deformities.
You must know that the Steel Mane tribe is originally a wandering race in the interstellar world. Growing up in a harsh environment like the Byron Star Territory, babies need more supply resources than humans. Therefore, most children from poor families either have incomplete bodies or
Just average talent.
But on the other hand, steel-maned people who are born normally and grow up smoothly have excellent physical fitness and can better adapt to harsh environments.
In terms of physical quality alone, the Steel Mane people are the strongest among several countries. They are not afraid of ordinary weapons and equipment, including the common technological weapons of the Federation Empire. It is difficult to kill them. Of course, the Frog people are also strong enough.
But the stronger ones are those modified warriors. If the frogs in their initial form were to fight against the steel-maned men, the frogs would have no advantage at all except their size.
Ming Li and his wife gave birth to four children. They were definitely a wealthy family in the Steel Mane Empire.
Zhan Tian also seemed to be very emotional: "Before Xiaobai was born, Mrs. Ming rested for five years."
Ding Meng said: "Xiao Bai should have high expectations from Master Ming, right?"
Zhan Tian nodded: "Master Ming and his wife were married for the second time. His first wife died in the war. It was just before we came to the Byron Star Territory, and the wars with other species were fierce. Fortunately, we
All three children have survived, my wife is old enough to have a son, and this is her biological son, so I naturally cherish her with all my heart."
Ding Meng secretly thought that no wonder others said that Xiaobai was an illegitimate child. It turned out to be that.
"But what's going on with Xiaobai's skin color?" Ding Meng was curious.
Zhan Tian immediately turned his head and said: "Zhan Feng, Xiao Luo, you go out first, I want to talk to Xiao Bai alone."
A group of guards and servants immediately exited the villa, and Ding Meng also knew that the warlord had something very important to say.
Zhan Tian looked at Ding Meng: "Master Ding must be a famous person in the Nuoxing Empire, right?"
Ding Meng laughed and said: "I can't say he's a celebrity, he just travels around a lot."
Zhan Tian looked at him with interest: "How much does Lord Ding know about the origin of our Steel Mane clan?"
Ding Meng pondered and said: "You have only arrived in the Shenghui main system in the past ten years. The Federal Empire only knows that you are an alien civilization and knows nothing about the rest."
Zhan Tian nodded, stood up slowly, and walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. His expression showed that he was planning something.
After a long time, he slowly spoke: "Actually, many people don't know, including the people of our Steel Mane Empire, that before we came to this main galaxy, our race was an advanced civilization in the universe.
"
"Oh?" Ding Meng was surprised.
Zhan Tian waved his hands and said: "It's not an advanced civilization as you imagined. Our race is not good at war. We prefer to develop, utilize, manufacture, and recycle. We are a racial civilization that is keen on progress. I actually know this.
There are very few people. Apart from the overlords of the Elder Council, I may be the only Steelmane alive today."
Ding Meng said: "But you told me."
Zhan Tiandao: "A few centuries ago, our civilization suffered a devastating blow. Two interstellar powerhouses across the galaxy fought in the universe. Our planet was affected and suffered unprecedented radiation."
This was the first time that Ding Meng had heard of the concept of an interstellar powerhouse. He could actually affect a planet with one action. He couldn't imagine what a powerful figure he was.
Zhan Tiandao: "Radiation has changed the fate of many people. Our clan is divided into two factions. One is the mutant race that has received radiation, and the other is the normal people who have not been affected. But there are mostly normal people. As the radiation continues to spread,
Mutated, we were expelled by the normal race."
Ding Meng suddenly said: "This is how the Steel Mane tribe came to be."
Zhan Tiandao: "We are wandering in the long cosmic galaxy, the fleet and resources are being used up little by little, and finally we have to settle down in this remote galaxy. At this time, our mutation should be at its extreme, and we can already use metal as a weapon.
We eat, live on toxins, and adapt to the harsh environment of heavy pollution. We are no longer the advanced civilization we were at the beginning. We have become a brand new race, which the Elders named the Steel Mane Tribe."
Ding Meng asked curiously: "Then what was the original race like?"
Zhan Tian slowly turned his eyes and looked at Xiaobai who was eating happily: "That's what he looks like!"
Ding Meng was stunned.
Zhan Tian explained: "The original people were a clean and pure race. They respected the sacred, and their skin color was white. They developed energy and absorbed energy. Like the human race, they were also beings with high intelligence. But we are just the opposite.
It gradually became violent and murderous, devouring waste, and became more and more primitive like a beast."
Ding Meng understood: "So Xiaobai will be considered a heretic when he is born?"
Zhan Tian sighed and said: "Ming Li and his wife didn't actually abandon Xiao Bai, but sent him away out of protection. Sam, the person in charge of Akashina, was greeted many years ago. No matter what happens, we must not
Let Xiaobai die."
Ding Meng also lamented: "I'm just wondering, in the concentration camp there was a mixture of dragons and snakes, and Xiaobai had no force at all. How did he survive unharmed for four years?"
Zhan Tiandao: "But if Xiaobai lives in the capital city, I'm afraid he will cause big trouble."
Ding Meng frowned and said, "Does the royal family want to treat him differently?"
Zhan Tiandao: "This is only one of the reasons, but it is not the main reason."
Ding Meng said: "What kind of reason?"
Zhan Tiandao: "I don't know if you have noticed, but Xiaobai also feeds on metal, but he has never mutated, and we are completely different. The more the other steel-maned people eat metal, and the more they practice, their hair gradually becomes thicker.
, the stronger the strength, the darker the skin color.”
Ding Meng asked curiously: "Yes, that's exactly the case. Is it because of the original race relationship?"
Zhan Tian nodded: "The original race is very pure, and external forces and objects cannot affect them. Xiaobai has such characteristics."
Ding Meng thought thoughtfully: "Even the radiation produced by the interstellar powerhouses did not contaminate them, which shows their resistance."
Zhan Tiandao: "The original race also has a characteristic that other races can never match, and that is the innate sensing ability of the elites. They can find some energy locations that others cannot find, including the breath of your source energy users.
Perception, quantum reconnaissance of human technology, ion scanning, metal detection of frogs, biological wave detection, chemical reactions of predatory world, quenching of holy lake, netherworld vision, etc., they can find things that cannot be found by these means.
.”
Ding Meng really wanted to ask, is it possible that there are things that my telekinesis warlock and Shenguang technology can't scan out?
But he held back, because he thought of the clothes on the Yin Feng group, the material of which couldn't be analyzed with his mind's eye.
Ding Meng doubted: "Xiao Bai also has this ability?"
Zhan Tian looked solemn: "I don't know if there is, but in the will of Mingli and his wife, Xiaobai is asked to come back to collect the relics. I'm afraid it has something to do with it."
Ding Meng finally understood that the handbag in the anti-gravity subspace must contain important clues and items. The relics received by the first three brothers and sisters were indeed valuable, but in fact the relics received by Xiaobai were
The most important thing is that Xiaobai is the true origin of the Steelmane clan and may affect the future of the Steelmane Empire.
"Xiaobai, can you show me your handbag?" Ding Meng suddenly turned his head.
Xiaobai took off the handbag from his waist without thinking. He had the highest trust in Ding Meng. It can be said that from the time he was born to now, the only person he trusts is Ding Meng.
Ding Meng looked at the appearance of the handbag. The handbag looked like an exquisite flashlight, but in an inconspicuous corner, there was a subtle logo in the shape of a sunflower. It was not as big as a grain of rice and was difficult to see with the naked eye.
Ding Meng immediately concluded: "A product of the colorful family of Shenghui Federation."
This is what belongs to Eisendale, because this logo cannot be copied. There is a special serial number under the sunflower, a dense combination of Arabic numerals and English letters, which Dinmen saw on Eisendale’s universal satchel.
had similar signs.
Zhan Tian pondered and said: "This is not surprising. Mr. Ming is the Minister of Transportation and is under the jurisdiction of Mr. Bujun. They have long-term dealings with the Nuoxing Empire, the Shenghui Federation, the Frogman Kingdom, and the Plunder World. You know,
We in the Steel Mane Country are short of supplies, especially materials and technology, but the Federation’s technology is quite advanced, and they will always purchase some samples for relevant dignitaries to study.”
Ding Meng gently opened his handbag and found that there was only one thing inside, which turned out to be an exquisite women's necklace.
When he saw this necklace, Zhan Tian was obviously stunned. What did Ming Li and his wife mean by this?
Obviously, the necklace is also a product of the Shenghui Federation. The workmanship is very fine. The chain is made of classic soft silver crystals. This material will automatically change color depending on the environment and body temperature, as well as the style of clothing, but the hanging
The pendant is a round orb.
This bead as big as a bottle cap is also very strange. Its appearance is wrapped by a special transparent coating, and the beads inside show a snow-white and holy brilliance.
"This is a private high-end customized necklace!" Zhan Tian said silently.
I didn't expect you to be very discerning. Ding Meng nodded. Many famous jewelers in the Federal Empire and the jewelry industry have private high-end customization businesses. In addition to creating unique and exclusive styles, they also have to make quantities according to customer requirements.
Customized, the most classic is subspace jewelry, which is easy to wear and can carry a large number of items. It is very popular with women.
