Surprise! The Crown Princess drives a mecha into the battlefield

Chapter 247 Genius or Mental Idiot

Faced with his father's expectations and the islanders' hopes, he must come back to shoulder this responsibility.

The descendants of You Shen Island are facing the crisis of extinction, and the number of healthy offspring is decreasing.

So these normal and healthy people become the last hope.

Mu Yuheng was silent. He had no way to persuade him anymore.

This is no longer a problem for Ouyang Moyu alone, but a matter of life and death for the entire Youshen Island.

He could understand Ouyang Moyu's choice.

Si Yuan also frowned. If it was a problem involving one or two children, perhaps it could be solved.

But now the entire island is facing the problem of bloodline extinction. If no solution is found, the thousand-year heritage of Youmien Island may be destroyed.

"Brother Mo Yu, this is not a matter of curse." Mu Wanwan pondered for a while and suddenly remembered what Si Yuan had said to her before.

Ouyang Moyu's eyes lit up. Mu Wanwan's words gave him a glimmer of hope. How could he forget that Mu Wanwan was knowledgeable and experienced? Perhaps she had seen similar situations somewhere.

He went out that year to find a way to break the curse, but found nothing.

"I've heard Si Yuan say before that you on You Shen Island are not allowed to intermarry with outsiders. You are blindly pursuing pure bloodlines, but ignore the dangers of inbreeding." Mu Wanwan said.

Modern research has clearly proven that inbreeding can lead to genetic defects and increase the risk of genetic diseases.

The so-called curse of You Shen Island is the evil consequence of this closed marriage system.

Having been passed down for thousands of years may not have been a problem at first, but as time went on, genetic defects gradually accumulated, eventually leading to today's tragedy.

Passed down from generation to generation, the people on this island are basically close relatives within three tribes. No matter who they marry, they will repeat the same genetic defects, and the cycle of tragedy is difficult to break.

Of course, there are very few exceptions, that is, a peerless genius may be born, but the probability of this is very low.

Even if some children grow up normally without obvious defects, they cannot escape the influence of recessive genes, which leads to frequent problems in their offspring.

The only way to break this vicious cycle is to open up to intermarriage with the outside world and introduce new genes, so as to gradually improve the genetic condition of the islanders and avoid further tragedies.

Although modern people are aware of the dangers of marrying close relatives, it seems that except for China, which has clear legal prohibitions, other countries do not have strict restrictions.

For example, in the Japanese pirate country, their royal family practiced inbreeding, which resulted in all the children born having intellectual disabilities.

There are many islanders on You Shen Island, and the tradition can be passed down for at least a thousand years.

But how many people are there in the entire royal family of that pirate country? I'm afraid any one of them could be a blood relative.

Ouyang Moyu was stunned. He had never thought that the root of the problem lay here.

"When I go back, I will ask my father to issue an order that close relatives of the three clans are not allowed to marry each other in the future." Si Yuan said with a serious expression.

Ruilan's royal family also had the bad habit of inbreeding. In order to consolidate the power of her mother's family, the empress dowager would arrange for her niece to marry the emperor.

No wonder sometimes the royal heirs often die young or are frail and sickly; this is the root cause.

"No wonder... no wonder only the main island has such serious problems, while the situation on the three affiliated islands is relatively mild." Ouyang Moyu suddenly realized that there were several major families living on the main island, headed by the Ouyang family.

Frequent intermarriages between aristocratic families and the complicated blood relations are the root causes of the serious problems on the main island.

Most of the people living on the attached islands are common people, and intermarriage among them is relatively free, so there is no such serious "curse".

........................

"Nonsense! This is the rule set by our ancestors, how can we change it just like that!" After Ouyang Moyu knew the reason, he and Si Yuan and others went to the main hall to find Ouyang Zhuo to explain the reason.

Mu Wanwan also printed out a document about the dangers of inbreeding in her space and gave it to Ouyang Moyu.

But Ouyang Zhuo didn't believe it. The unity of You Shen Island was due to their adherence to their ancestral teachings and their shared bloodline. Wouldn't changing the rules be destroying the foundation? He angrily shouted, "You are trying to destroy our You Shen Island."

"Father! Look at these major families. How many normal children have been born in the past hundred years? I am the only heir of our Ouyang family. If we don't change, the family bloodline will be cut off. Do you think that marrying Qinglian will change anything? Aren't the parents of those disabled children also normal people? Don't the children they gave birth to also have problems?" Ouyang Moyu's eyes were red and his voice was choked.

"For the past thousand years, you have been stubborn and stubborn, clinging to old ways, causing your bloodline to decline. Did you see the changes outside when you went to Ruilan this time? Ruilan's roads, cars on the road, and the people living and working in peace and contentment. Our Youshen Island has fallen far behind. Father, we can no longer remain isolated. Only by changing the rules can our family and the island be reborn."

Ouyang Zhuo fell silent, looking at the information in his hand with complicated eyes, and his heart began to waver.

This time when he went to Ruilan, he did see many new things.

But he did not take it seriously, thinking that they were just foreign tricks and insignificant things that were not enough to shake the foundation.

But the lives of the people are indeed richer than those on Mirage Island.

"Island Master Ouyang, the prosperity of Youshen Island should not be built on outdated conventions and habits. Although change is difficult, you must take this step for the sake of future generations. Only by breaking the old conventions can we usher in a new life." Si Yuan also helped to persuade.

"Mo Yu, are you really unwilling to get married?" Ouyang Zhuo looked at everyone, was silent for a while, and then looked at Ouyang Mo Yu again.

"I don't want to." Ouyang Moyu replied.

He and Qinglian only have a brother-sister relationship. It would be unfair to both of them if they were tied together because of a marriage contract.

Now that there is a solution, he and Qinglian can naturally regain their freedom.

Just on the way here, Mu Wanwan quietly told him that there is a technology in the interstellar space that can help him continue his bloodline without the need for a mother.

"Crown Princess, don't you think that what we are doing is against human ethics?" Ouyang Moyu was very curious why Mu Wanwan accepted it so easily.

And she worries so much about him and Yuheng.

"Have you forgotten where I came from? This kind of thing is very common in modern time and space." Mu Wanwan looked up at him strangely.

Not to mention modern times, such things have also happened in Chinese history.

"I will do my best to help, but you have to talk to my parents yourself. Since you have chosen this path, you will have to face them one day." Mu Wanwan continued.

This path is very difficult, and even modern parents cannot fully accept it, let alone those under the ancient feudal ideology.

The only thing she could do was to find a way to preserve the bloodline of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Her parents are still young. If they drink spiritual spring water every day to regulate their health, maybe they can have another child.
