Chapter 124 Three Months

"Three months?" Li Tianran asked.

"That's right, and that's under very optimistic circumstances." Bai Jingyan said in a low voice, "In this world situation, it's already very difficult for Mofila to hold on this long. When Sonan was in power, many soldiers deserted. Plus the sea beast incursions and the covetous eyes of some surrounding countries..."

"Three months is the limit."

Li Tianran fell into deep thought. Under the impact of the three Destruction Eras, most of the world's small countries had been forced into desperate situations, and Mofila was no exception. If its geographical location wasn't important enough, it probably would have been destroyed by sea beast attacks or annexed by some major power long ago.

Moreover, due to the shortage of food and water, huge problems had also emerged within Mofila.

Beset by internal and external troubles, not to mention Bai Jingyan, even some great emperors of the past couldn't turn the tide.

Mofila's demise was already a foregone conclusion.

As for Bai Jingyan saying he would give Li Tianran a country, Li Tianran certainly wouldn't be naive enough to move the farm to Mofila and declare himself the new king. In the current world situation, such high-profile behavior would be tantamount to courting death.

How did Yuan Shu die back then?

Wasn't it because he wanted to show off and become an emperor, but his strength wasn't enough to pacify the world, so he was surrounded and killed by various forces?

Store up grain, ascend the throne slowly!

This sentence was perfectly suited to Li Tianran's current situation.

He would only get his hands on Mofila's national resources. As for those vast lands... now there were ownerless countries and ruins everywhere in the world, they weren't worth anything at all. If he really accumulated enough strength in the future and wanted to establish a country, then he could carve out a piece of land at any time!

To become an emperor, what you rely on isn't a dragon throne, a dragon robe, or a jade seal, but swords, guns, and cannons!

"After Mofila is finished, come to me." Li Tianran smiled and said softly, "It just so happens that Professor Nan is also here. You and Nan Nan, plus him, your family can be considered reunited."

"Heh." Bai Jingyan laughed, "Let's talk about that later. By the way, besides the stored resources, Mofila also has an army. I'll take away some elites, do you want me to spare some for you?"

"I don't want them." Li Tianran refused directly without even thinking about it.

Although Mofila's army had suffered a large-scale rout, it still had seventy or eighty thousand soldiers at this time. However, Li Tianran didn't want to directly transfer a part of them into his Pioneers Corps. The reason was very simple: after all, he had once led a team to attack Mofila's transport fleet carrying nuclear materials.

Thousands of soldiers on the transport ship died directly or indirectly at his hands. From this point of view, Li Tianran and Mofila were actually mortal enemies.

And Li Tianran naturally couldn't incorporate Mofila's soldiers into his own team. This would undoubtedly be planting hidden dangers for himself. If they learned the truth in the future, or if some of the soldiers incorporated into the legion had relatives or friends who had died at Li Tianran's hands, it would definitely be a huge mess.

Even if a Zhineng (Intelligent Brain) type evolver could brainwash them, like Yuan Wen once did, no one could guarantee that the other party wouldn't discover the truth through various clues.

The Pioneers Corps was Li Tianran's trump card in the future, and Li Tianran absolutely didn't want any trouble to arise within it.

It didn't matter if development was a little slower, the most important thing was... stability!

"Then forget it." Bai Jingyan said softly.

Both of them were silent for a few seconds.

They both very tacitly didn't mention Mofila's civilians and the majority of its troops, because it would definitely be a heavy topic.

Bai Jingyan didn't have the ability to save everyone, and neither did Li Tianran.

For the vast majority of countries and civilians, the Destruction Era was a catastrophic disaster. Even the civilians of powerful countries were now wandering on the edge of life and death, let alone some weak countries?

Following their country and turning into dust in history seemed to be their only destiny.

War and plunder had always been the nature of all living things. Li Tianran and Bai Jingyan were naturally no exception. Mofila's stored resources couldn't change the fate of this country's demise. Bai Jingyan's actions were only accelerating this process.

As for guilt and unease...

In this world situation, this kind of mentality was too extravagant and naive.

…

After ending his conversation with Bai Jingyan, Li Tianran confirmed that in the near future, a large number of fleets would successively transport resources such as steel and coal from Mofila's national treasury to Kuangxi Island. This process would take a long time, and now sea transportation was very dangerous, so some resources might be lost before they finally reached Kuangxi Island.

But even so, it was enough.

Li Tianran had been worried about the fact that building military camps, training grounds, and armories had recently consumed too many points. If he had the replenishment of resources from Mofila's national treasury, then his pressure could be instantly alleviated for a period of time in the future.

After hanging up the phone, Li Tianran felt refreshed. He strode out of the castle and went to the planting area to see the growth status of the second round of Lv4 crops.

…

On the other side, breakfast was about to end for the people at the dining table. Professor Nan chatted with Yuan Wen for a few words. Yuan Wen was very interested in Professor Nan's work, so they had a discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of human evolvers and beast evolvers.

And the final conclusion was that beast evolvers actually had a stronger adaptability to the Blue Star environment than human evolvers.

The main source of this advantage was reproductivity.

Most beasts and fish could produce a dozen or hundreds, or even thousands of offspring at a time, while it was already extremely rare for humans to conceive triplets at once.

In terms of reproductive ability alone, humans were far behind beasts.

"This is a congenital defect. I'm afraid this situation can only be reversed after we develop large-scale artificial embryo incubators in the future." Professor Nan said with some distress, "Moreover, beasts can complete a reproductive process in a very short time in various harsh environments, which is also something that humans cannot compare to."

"Creatures like drones, mosquitoes, and rabbits can complete the mating process in a matter of seconds. This is a racial advantage developed in response to danger."

Professor Nan rubbed his brow, "Humans may have to go through dozens of generations of evolution to achieve this. And there's also..."

This kind of topic sounded a bit high-end, and the people at the dining table were a little confused.

Just then, Lan Ning suddenly raised his eyebrows, interrupted Professor Nan, and said with some excitement, "Professor Nan, I strongly agree with your statement! In harsh environments, completing human reproduction in a very short time is a huge advantage! But the vast majority of people in the world have great malice towards men who have this kind of advantage. They will ridicule these men from all angles. Isn't this a kind of ordinary human jealousy and rejection of superior humans?"

After hearing Lan Ning's words, Professor Nan was stunned for a long time, and then asked seriously, "The reproductive process is a very complex thing. It involves more than a dozen data points such as fertilization survival rate. I don't know which category you are referring to?"

"If it's just the process of the male reproductive organ being stimulated and injecting sperm into the female body..."

"In that case, it shouldn't be considered an advantage. In medical terms, it's called... premature ejaculation."

Professor Nan paused here and looked at Lan Ning with sympathetic eyes: "You, you wouldn't have this kind of... advantage, would you?"

Whoosh!

Everyone at the dining table turned their heads to look at Lan Ning in unison.

"No wonder you said you weren't interested in the opposite sex... so that's why..." Tang Su's face showed a realization.

Under the knife-like gazes of everyone, Lan Ning's face turned from green to red, and then from red to black. After holding it in for a long time, he took a deep breath and said calmly:

"Actually, I have a friend..."
