Chapter 585 Energization and Lifting the Ban: Babies and Lifting the Ban

==========
Not long after sending off the president of the law court, there was a knock on the door of the office.

"Please come in."

The person who came was Elder Kong Huan who was an attendant. After recognizing the other party, Yuan Guang immediately withdrew his thoughts from the report. Could it be that Elder Kong Huan made another decision?
"No." As if knowing what Yuan Guang was thinking, the attendant of the energyized elder shook his head.

"Um, what's the matter?"

His face was a bit tangled, and Yuan Guang, who didn't get the desired result, shook his head depressedly, and waved his hand to ask the elder attendant in front of him to sit down, but the other party immediately shook his head and refused.

"Elder Void is holding an elder correspondence meeting, during which time I will hand this over to you."

The boxy, thick-shelled booklet was full of festive colors from the outside, with the words "invitation" written on it, and was handed over by the elder attendant with both hands.

"Is there any happy event in the presbytery?"

"I don't know either." The elder attendant replied truthfully.

"Oh," opened the invitation card directly, and Yuan Guang scanned the content on his face curiously: "The child is born, what's going on?"

"Although it's a familiar name? But it shouldn't have anything to do with us? And why did Elder Void let me go to such a banquet celebrating the birth of a child?"

"Patriarch Yuanguang, can you show me?"

"Please."

Carefully glanced at the names of the husband and wife above, the elder attendant suddenly realized, and then reacted with a smile on his face.

"What? Got something?"

"That's right, Elder Yuan Guang, it seems that energy-based lifting of the ban is already the general trend."

Confidently making a conclusion, the elder attendant respectfully sent the invitation back to Yuan Guang, and then explained with a smile: "Clan Chief Yuan Guang may not remember clearly, but I know the identities of these two people. They are the same as me. The two elder servants who belong to Elder Kong Huan have been sweeping... ahem, dealing with official duties in the elders' courtyard, so they haven't shown up much."

Selectively ignoring the other party's slip of the tongue, Yuan Guang just smiled and thought about what the other party said about the elder attendant...

"Wait! Elder attendant! Energy body?"

"Yes?" The elder's attendant, who was shining with glazed light, nodded.

"This... doesn't this mean?" Yuan Guang was surprised.

"That's it." The attendant said calmly.

------

Kong Huan never expected that the couple he had accidentally matched could bring him such a surprise.

"You guys, very good!"

He patted the shy young man with energy body heavily, Yuan Guang smiled, while Kong Huan took 8051 and Shuangyue and sat by the seat not far away, seeming to be talking about something amusing.

"Patriarch Yuanguang, you are joking."

"This is not a joke! You are heroes! Absolute hero parents!"

Yuan Guang, who was in a good mood, had no taboos, and after throwing out a bunch of compliments, he leaned into the other party's ear and whispered: "You don't know it yet, we were all discussing the issue of energy transformation and lifting the ban, but it's because the energy bodies arrived There are no children yet, so everyone is worried that the large amount of energy will lead to a further decline in the reproductive rate of our family members, so they have not been able to make a decision until now."

The youth suddenly realized.

"But now," Yuan Guang patted the other person's back with jealousy, and his tone was full of kindness: "Now you guys are doing your best! You hit the target just in time, and those who didn't know thought you were waiting on purpose." It’s like being born now.”

"we are not."

"I know, it's good now, the problem of reproduction is no longer a problem, then energyization can start, when the bugs come, let's rush over with 10000 energy bodies, let's see who is the best! Hahaha!"

"Patriarch Yuanguang, can I apply to borrow my husband for a while?"

The energy radiance of the body was still slightly dim, but the wife, who was extremely energetic, pulled her husband and joked at the patriarch.

He waved his hand indifferently, Yuan Guang suddenly put on a serious expression, and replied: "Agreed!"

Immediately, the audience burst out laughing.

"Look at the couple, they are so popular and so happy!" 8051 sighed to Kong Huan with envy.

"..."

In this regard, he doesn't dare to speak out, just sits there alone, teasing Shuangyue (you are a pet).

After 8051 finished talking to himself, he added: "This matter depends on luck, but we obviously have no luck, so we need quantity."

"Quantity?" Shuangyue looked puzzled.

"Quantity means... ah!"

For Shuangyue's pure future, under the gaze of 8051 and the threat of crab claws, Kong Huan resolutely shut up.

"Elder Kong Huan, I don't know what the Supreme Council's decision is?" Yuan Guang, who was still a little uneasy after thinking about it, ended up wandering around where Kong Huan was, and asked expectantly.

Glancing at the other party playfully, Kong Huan replied slowly: "After the discussion in the Elder's House, a preliminary decision has been made, and the energyization of friends will be activated with restrictions."

"limited?"

When it is turned on, it is turned on. Why is there still a limit? Yuan Guang mused in his heart depressedly. Yuan Guang looked at Kong Huan suspiciously, waiting for the other party's explanation.

"There are limitations. Although the first generation of naturally bred energy body children has been born, it has proved the feasibility of artificial energy body reproduction, but..."

Carefully looking at the happy couple on the opposite side, as well as the energetic child in the hut not far away who was cared for like a national treasure, he explained calmly.

"However, how is the child's health? How is the child's future development? After the child grows up and gets married, can they, as the first generation of natural energy bodies, reproduce? These have not yet been determined. According to our consideration, it is necessary to wait until these children After growing up to 2 or 30 years old, we will talk about the other party's growth, reproduction, and pupation..."

"That's not going to be 30 years!"

"Relax!"

Waving his hand to stop the patriarch of the Peng clan who was hesitant to speak, Kong Huan made a gesture of reassurance, and at the same time nodded to the people who were attracted by Yuan Guang's roar to ignore him, then looked away and continued.

"However, considering the real problems faced by our family, we finally agreed to lift the ban. But for the sake of the future, at the beginning, the number of people in each batch needs to be verified by the Elderly House, and the first batch also only selects 100 people After confirming the stability of the quantization laboratory, we will allow the quantization of the second batch of 1000 people."

Seeing Yuan Guang showing a relieved expression, Kong Huan raised the corner of his mouth, and suddenly added: "However, this time the ban is lifted, we plan to quantify only 5000-7000 people."

"Huh? Why?"

The illusion of the energy body tens of thousands of troops in his heart was shattered, and Yuan Guang looked tangled.

"Is he all right?" 8051 asked with some concern.

"It's okay, as the patriarch, a little ability to make choices is necessary."

Sure enough, after only half a cup of tea, Yuan Guang looked up at Kong Huan: "Elder, can you tell me the reason for your decision?"

"It's simple."

Taking his eyes away from the 'hero' couple who were surrounded by more and more people, so that they couldn't see it at this time, Kong Huan motioned Yuan Guang to sit down, then pointed to the crowd in front of him and said: "Friends, mainly by Yuan Guang Composed of human beings and winged beings, after the energyization is turned on, energy bodies will appear again, so there are three kinds."

"Among them, the protohuman reproductive rate is the highest, but the pupation success rate of the children born to the protohuman couple is the lowest among the three types, at about 60%."

"We all know that the winged people have a low reproductive rate. However, the pupation success rate of the children born to a winged couple, or a family formed by a winged man and an original person, is basically over 80%."

"Energy bodies, because the number is too small to count, but animal experiments in the energy laboratory have proved that the reproductive rate of animals after energy will decrease, and this arc is about 20%. It doesn't seem like much. But when there are more people in the future, 1% will be a huge number.”

"So?" Yuan Guang seemed to be somewhat resentful.

Kong Huan showed the same friendly smile as before: "So, the result of our discussion is: in the future, only the soul level will be energyized. Unless the problem of low reproductive rate of the energy body can be solved, ordinary winged people and original people will both To remain, as the basis for the continuation of the race of friends."

Although he had determined the necessity of this method in his heart, Yuan Guang was still a little unwilling.

The total soul level of the whole family is only over 1 points. Not to mention the cautious attitude of the elders' house, it is likely that these 1 people will not be quantified in the short term.Just to say that among the more than 1 people, 40% work in non-combat units such as the government, research institutions, and civil chambers of commerce.

In the past, when there were only 1 volunteer friends, it was okay to say that the work could be transferred directly, which did not affect the overall situation of the friend group, but now these 4 people cannot be transferred casually even if they are quantified.That is [-]% of the population of the whole family. Once transferred, the blow to the social structure will be great.

Therefore, only about 5000 of them can enter military units.

"Thinking about it carefully, the limit of the first batch of 5000 people seems to be about the same," Yuan Guang finally gave in: "But Elder Kong Huan, I hope that this batch of 5000 people can all be selected from the army."

"It is absolute to choose mainly from the army. After all, in the face of the threat of bugs, it will not be all."

"Why... um, balance?" Yuan Guang, who quickly reacted, scolded himself for being an idiot.

The strength of the soul-level energy body is not weaker than the former Youshen body, but when there are too many people, chaotic thoughts often appear.

If someone controls the energy body of the Military Academy, 5000 people will deal with the 4 Yinshen and 22 Youshen-level energy bodies of the current friends. Although it may not be successful, it will definitely cause a lot of losses to the Supreme Council. This situation obviously requires Try to avoid it.

But, didn't it mean that Elder Kong Huan and the others all trusted and cared for their friends?How did you come up with such restrictions?Yuan Guang was a little puzzled.

"It's not that I don't trust friends."

It doesn't take mental power to easily see Yuan Guang's thoughts, and the empty illusion that has lived for hundreds of years is not angry, but calmly explains: "The environment affects people's hearts, and this must be paid attention to."

"Saints, after all, are a small number; most people will be affected by the environment. Just imagine, if I hand over all 5000 places to the Military Academy, what will the personnel in other departments think? Everyone can see the benefits of the energy body. When the ban was lifted, everyone wanted to lift the ban. Now that the ban is lifted, if it is too biased towards one party, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction from the other party.”

"Of course, a little bit of dissatisfaction is fine, but..."

"If someone in the Military Academy holds 5000 energy bodies that can be compared to the Supreme Council, where the high-end power of these friends gathers, he may not resist the Elder Academy, but use this as a hidden background to compete for the position of patriarch, you What about the group leader? What about our elders' house?"

Facing Kong Huan's sharp gaze, Yuan Guang's expression froze, and then he sighed helplessly.

"Elder, I didn't..."

"What don't you have? Didn't want to quantify?"

As if to ease the atmosphere, Kong Huan chuckled and said: "The pursuit of better things is the driving force for the evolution of friends and the development of civilization. So you are right, it is right to pursue energy."

"And what we need to do is to make this process stable and safe, nothing more."

After finishing speaking, Kong Huan returned to his usual sluggish look, without any pressure like an ancient god that had brought Yuan Guang before.

Sure enough, there is no normal person in the presbytery.
