On the other side, Yuanfeng and Lingxue sat back to back on the grass, looking up at the stars.
Lingxue suddenly asked curiously, “Yuanfeng, why am I still not pregnant? Is there something wrong with you?”
Yuanfeng was momentarily speechless, looking embarrassed, and hesitantly said, “This… it shouldn’t be! Everything is fine, how could there be a problem?”
Lingxue, looking gloomy, replied, “Could it be your problem?”
As soon as the comforting words came out, Yuanfeng immediately realized it was bad.
Sure enough, Lingxue immediately became furious, turning around and pinching Yuanfeng’s waist, “I suspect you have a problem, just admit it, how dare you turn around and suspect me?”
After some playfulness and teasing, Yuanfeng suggested, “Teacher Feiyuan is so knowledgeable, he must know where the problem lies. Should we go ask him?
Lingxue shook her head, “No! He’s in the lab every day now, very busy, we shouldn’t disturb him.”
Yuanfeng said, “Indeed, we often see Teacher Feng Cheng. Why don’t we go ask Teacher Feng Cheng! He is so mysterious and profound, he must know something.”
Lingxue hesitated for a while before agreeing, “Okay! Let’s go ask Teacher Feng Cheng.”
While Feng Cheng was maintaining various machinery, Yuanfeng and Lingxue approached him.
Feng Cheng raised an eyebrow and said, “Infertility?”
Yuanfeng and Lingxue blushed at Feng Cheng’s words.
Feng Cheng said, “You’ve asked the right person about this, I do know a little.”
Once, in order to freely play various tricks in the Musician Immortal Palace, Feng Cheng diligently studied all aspects of knowledge, including contraception.
After examining the two, Feng Cheng immediately came to a conclusion, “I’ve found the problem.”
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64ce79d606107d003c23ea27", id: "pf-5140-1"})Lingxue’s first reaction was, “Whose problem?”
While Yuanfeng asked, “Can it be treated?”
Both of them asked at the same time, making Lingxue extremely embarrassed.
Feng Cheng chuckled and said, “Both of you have issues. And yes, it can be treated. So, do you want the treatment?”
“We want it!”
Having spent these years idly on the spaceship, Yuanfeng and Lingxue were bored and wanted to have a child to bring some joy to their dull life.
For Feng Cheng, treating them was just a casual task. However, since this involved the birth of new life within the spaceship, it was best to consult the chief technician Wei beforehand.
With this in mind, Feng Cheng sent a message to Su Hao, “Chief Wei, Yuanfeng and Lingxue want to have a child. Should we let them have a smooth delivery?”
Shortly after, Su Hao replied, “Let them have it! Let them have a few more!”
Understanding the message, Feng Cheng told Yuanfeng and Lingxue, “I will make some preparations first and treat you two in two days.”
“Thank you, Teacher Feng Cheng.”
After Yuanfeng and Lingxue left, Feng Cheng continued to maintain the machinery, softly laughing to himself, “Chief Wei said to have a few more, isn’t giving birth to four or five in one go too much?”
…
Soon, Lingxue became pregnant.
Ten months later, she gave birth to five babies – two boys and three girls.
Yuanfeng was dumbfounded, wondering which shot of his was so powerful, like a shotgun? Hitting five targets in one go…
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})Now the problem was, they couldn’t take care of all of them!
Feng Cheng chuckled, “Well done, Yuanfeng, you are quite capable.”
Yuanfeng held one baby in each hand, leaving the other three unattended, crying and fussing on the bed with loud voices and energetic movements.
With a step, Feng Cheng made five steel cradles rise from the ground, gently picking up the babies one by one and placing them in the cradles, rocking them softly until they calmed down.
Impressed, Yuanfeng said, “Truly deserving of being Teacher Feng Cheng, knowledgeable in everything. Teacher Feng Cheng, could you help us name our children…”
At this point, Yuanfeng suddenly realized, “I forgot who is the eldest and who is the second…”
Feng Cheng laughed, “I’ll help you remember.”
He then grabbed a silver ingot, divided it into five parts, which transformed into five silver bracelets.
“The eldest is named Ling Baihua, the second is named Yuan Xiafeng, the third is named Yuan Qiuye, the fourth is named Ling Tingxue, and the fifth is named Ling Ling. How about that?”
The boys took Yuan’s surname, while the girls took Ling’s.
Yuanfeng muttered, “Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, there are no seasons in the spaceship. Are these names meant to commemorate the seasons? Good, good names, let’s go with them!”
Lingxue, lying on the bed, also smiled, “Very nice names.”
Although they had Feng Cheng’s treatment after giving birth, they still felt a bit weak.
Feng Cheng smiled, “Who said there are no seasons in the spaceship? Not only are there seasons, but there are also high mountains, lakes, rivers, oceans, forests – everything you want.”
The two were astonished.
Feng Cheng successively put silver bracelets with corresponding names on five children, then said, “We all have our own things to do and can’t help take care of the children. It can only be hard for you two, figure it out yourselves.”
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})They don’t need to worry about food, clothing or anything else, there are machines that automatically produce them. Two people taking care of five children is more than enough.
Yuan Feng helplessly scratched his head.
Feng Cheng added, “Of course, if you have any questions, you can find me. Just shout my name into the sky.”
Yuan Feng was pleased, “Thank you, Teacher Feng Cheng.”
After Feng Cheng left, Yuan Feng looked at his five children, still feeling like he was in a dream.
“I’ve become a father so quickly? And a father to five children… I was completely unprepared. Can anyone tell me what I should do…”
Weak, helpless, pitiful…
Shortly after Feng Cheng left, the five children started crying again, and Yuan Feng was in a panic.
He thought to himself, “Regret… I was carefree before without children, why did I suddenly decide to have children?”
…
Feng Cheng joyfully sent a message to Su Hao, “Head Wei, Ling Xue successfully gave birth to five healthy children.”
Su Hao replied, “Quite fast!”
Yashan said, “I didn’t expect Feng Cheng to be so skilled in obstetrics. Impressive!”
Feng Cheng took Yashan’s praise in stride and chuckled, “If it wasn’t for nutritional concerns, I could have helped her deliver ten in one go.”
Su Hao said, “Five are enough for now. Don’t let the spaceship be full of children everywhere.”
As Feng Cheng imagined scenes of children everywhere on the spaceship making noise, he suddenly had a thought, “Understood! With me around, none of them will be able to have any more children.”
In Laboratory One, Fei Yun also sensed the arrival of five new lives and curiously asked Su Hao, “Mr. Jia Wei, do you agree to let them reproduce here?”
One man and one woman theoretically could reproduce an entire population.
Inbreeding would increase the probability of genetic diseases, but that’s only a statistical probability. As long as continuous reproduction and selection of defective individuals are carried out to expand the population base, a stable population could be formed quickly…
Of course, this is only theoretically speaking; after all, no world really only has two people, a man and a woman.
Except for Source Star…
But Su Hao wouldn’t allow them to freely reproduce.
“This spaceship is our vehicle for exploring the universe, not a sanctuary for Source Star humans. It is impossible to let them keep reproducing here.”
However, if Yuan Feng and Ling Xue intend to save the Source Star human race on their own, in twenty years, when the situation on Source Star is slightly more stable, they could consider helping them establish a human settlement on Source Star and let them naturally reproduce there.
Success or failure depends on fate and their efforts.
Fei Yun shook his head, “How difficult.”
Without a complete ecosystem, it is basically impossible for a single human race to reproduce and survive.
Su Hao changed the subject, “You had some ideas about mental power but lacked a comparison, right? You can take those five children as students, teach them knowledge, and see if your ideas are feasible.”
Fei Yun replied, “Ok, Mr. Jia Wei. After these children turn six, I will be their teacher.”
He pondered for a moment and asked, “By the way, Mr. Jia Wei, are there any restrictions on the knowledge to be imparted?”
Su Hao smiled and replied, “No restrictions. Teach as you wish, according to your ideas.”
Fei Yun let out a long breath, “Mr. Jia Wei, you are truly generous, imparting such valuable knowledge without reservations.”
In Fei Yun’s opinion, this was the demeanor of a saint.
Even he wouldn’t dare to say he would completely impart his knowledge to others without holding back, right?
