MTL - Azeroth Shadow of the Moon-Chapter 763 The ultimate problem plaguing the night elves
The extremely low fertility rate of the night elves is the biggest problem affecting the further expansion of the entire race.
Maybe there are no hidden dangers when living inside the planet Azeroth, but according to Andrea's plan, the residents of Azeroth will one day officially step into the sea of stars and start an era of great interstellar voyages.
In this context, the ultra-low population growth rate of the night elves will become the biggest constraint on interstellar colonization.
In today's era, the Dark Night Republic can still rely on stronger magical research capabilities and military strength to rank first.
But with the gradual advancement of the interstellar voyage, the races that occupy more planets with a larger population can obtain more resources.
In this regard, short-lived species such as humans and orcs have inherent advantages. As long as they can meet the living conditions required for the healthy growth of the group, they can breed a generation in just a dozen years.
In the extreme case of not considering the series of negative effects of overpopulation, humans and orcs who vigorously encourage reproduction can even achieve explosive population growth on the basis of one generation.
Andrea, who was a Chinese in her previous life, has a full say on this point.
When his country settled down from the Anti-Japanese War and the Civil War, its total population was only about 400-500 million people.
Encouraged by the first-generation leader "more people means more power", in just a few decades, China's population doubled crazily, reaching an astonishing 1.3 billion people, accounting for one-fifth of the total population of the entire planet at that time.
If the family planning policy is not implemented in time, the population snowball will expand further.
Compared with the strong fertility rate of humans, the night elves can only barely guarantee a positive curve of population growth during these ten thousand years, and the growth rate... is almost negligible.
According to big data records, each night elf family can only have one newborn every 5,000 years on average. This terrible population growth time makes Andrea really unable to complain.
As the leader of the night elves, Andrea didn't think about solving the low birth rate of the night elves from the genetic level. He even ordered the establishment of a human genetic research department when the magic technology initially reached the standard more than a thousand years ago.
The human body structure of intelligent creatures is extremely complex, and Andrea was not a practitioner of genetic engineering in her previous life, so she can only provide suggestions on the general direction of related work, and her eyes are dimmed when it comes to the technical level.
The magic technology used by the night elves is very different from Andrea's previous technology system.
More than a thousand years have passed, and the genetic research department has produced many achievements that are conducive to the development of medical technology, but they are still unable to do anything about the gene lock that restricts the fertility of night elves.
Andrea also went to the Nexus to ask Malygos, a living fossil of Azeroth knowledge, for advice, and got a relatively reliable answer.
In simple terms, Malygos believed that the fertility rate of all sentient beings was inversely proportional to their physical strength and longevity.
Take Dragon Clan itself as an example.
The guardian dragons and the ancestor dragons come from the same source. According to the research of Malygos, the birth rate of the ancestor dragons is more than eight times that of the five guardian dragons.
After evolving from the progenitor dragon to the guardian dragon family, the five giant dragons have immortal lifespan and powerful strength, but instead they have a more miserable birth rate than the night elves.
The same example can be applied to night elves and high elves.
After breaking away from the Well of Eternity, the high elves lost their infinite lifespan, but their fertility rate increased...albeit still very low compared to humans and orcs.
Andrea agrees with Malygos' research conclusion very much, this should be the natural balance strategy of nature.
The birth rate of races with a long lifespan will be reduced, and races with extremely strong birth rates, such as wild boars, will have a very short lifespan.
As the leader of the night elves, Andrea has worried about the population growth rate of the whole family for thousands of years.
Seeing that the age of interstellar voyage was about to enter, the anxious Andrea even thought of asking the gods for help. Before he made a final decision, Azshara reappeared after thousands of years.
The proud Queen Azshara's starting point for researching the ancient god-style flesh transformation is quite different from Andrea's, but the ultimate goal has many overlaps.
Azshara hoped to convert them back into her own people, the night elves, while preserving the naga fertility.
Although Andrea is very unimpressed with the Naga race, and is wary of the Naga with a population of tens of millions, right now he really needs Azshara's research results to release the genetic lock that restricts the birth rate of the night elves .
…
The Battle of Ny'alotha ended with the victory of the Azeroth coalition forces, and the remaining N'Zoth forces were strangled under the joint pursuit of multiple parties.
The prisoner N'Zoth was dead, and Raiden and Odin simply lifted the seal on Ny'alotha on the spot, allowing the subplane cage originally prepared for N'Zoth to reintegrate into the material world.
After the common enemy N'Zoth disappeared, the Naga who suddenly turned against him became the focus of the Azeroth coalition's next concern.
The countries in the Eastern Continent had almost no losses in the Naga invasion, and they had a nonchalant attitude towards the Naga's disposal.
Varian was eager to announce the good news of victory to the people of the alliance countries, and led the representatives of the alliance countries to bid farewell to the rest of the races.
The tribe under the command of Goyle has not yet been formed. This large-scale war has given the tribes and tribes the opportunity to cooperate in combat, but they still have a long way to go.
Worried that the alliance that left first would secretly make small moves against the tribe, after Varian left, Goyle also led the tribes back to their respective camps.
Among the remaining races, Quel'Thalas and Gilneas were also residents of the Eastern Continent. They took no position on the handling of the Naga, and bid farewell to Andrea one after another.
Although the tauren suffered a lot from the Naga invasion, they have been used to following in the footsteps of the night elves for thousands of years, and this time is no exception.
Representatives of other small and medium-sized races also waited for the night elves to express their opinions first. Only the Zandalari trolls headed by Princess Talanji insisted on getting rid of Naga.
Although the decline of the Zandalari trolls and the rise of the night elves were in the same era, there is actually not much necessary connection between the two.
The decline of Zandalari stemmed from the great war with the Zerg Aqir Empire, and the night elves only quietly developed and expanded at the most suitable time.
When Azshara led the Night Empire to fight against the declining Zandalari Empire, Zandalar was already riddled with holes. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
Gurubashi, Amani, and Drakkalai's three major feudal empires are drifting away from Zandalari, and the Zandalari trolls, who are sticking to the holy mountain of Zuldazar, have also ushered in the lowest period in history, and various internal power struggles The incidents are endless.
Rather than being defeated by Azshara's Night Empire, the Zandalari were actually defeated by their own internal strife.
But that being said, Zandalari trolls obviously wouldn't attribute the reason for their decline to themselves so rationally. It is the nature of all intelligent creatures to find reasons to blame.
"Anyway, it's not me who is wrong, there must be someone playing tricks on the sidelines."
As a catalyst, Azshara, who pushed the way of Zandalar's decline, has been the best choice for Zandalar since more than 10,000 years ago.
Talanji: "I can let the other Naga go, but Azshara, the evil queen, must be punished!"
