The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 2618 Mayfly World (8)

Chapter 2618 Mayfly World (XVIII)

The answer is of course no.

Of course, the X gene does not follow mean reversion, and it is even less likely to become stronger as it is synthesized like a big watermelon. If that were the case, the universe would have exploded due to increased entropy.

After many years of research and deciphering of the X gene, humans finally discovered that it is nothing more than random.

Two normal people may give birth to a child with the X gene, two mutants may give birth to a normal person, and an normal person and a mutant may give birth to a normal person and a mutant.

Two powerful mutants may give birth to an ordinary person, an Ipsilon-level disabled mutant, or a powerful mutant.

Probably the only credible rule circulating internally is that powerful mutants and ordinary people are more likely to give birth to powerful mutants.

This rule mainly comes from Magneto and Professor X. Magneto's three children are all very strong because his father is a powerful mutant and his mother is an ordinary person.

One of Professor X's sons is very strong because his father is a powerful mutant and his mother is an ordinary person.

In addition, many of the students enrolled in Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters are a combination of mutants and ordinary people. The mutants among the parents are not that strong, but the children born are at least not disabled.

Therefore, these stronger Alpha and Omega mutants generally believe that they can give birth to stronger children by combining with ordinary people. As for the combination between mutants, there are currently no two mutants strong enough to combine with each other, so it is difficult to deduce the rules.

However, from the perspective of the lower classes of society, many discriminated Ipsilon-level mutants also find it difficult to mate with ordinary people. Most of them also look for mutants with the same congenital deficiencies to mate with, but their reproductive conditions are completely random and will not get weaker or stronger.

This leads to an embarrassing problem for mutants. If they bring all the powerful mutants to one planet and let them pair up and have children, then this planet is destined not to be a planet for powerful mutants, because there will definitely be ordinary people and Ipsilon-level among the children.

And based on the probability of the birth of powerful mutants, after a few generations, this planet will become the New Earth, and mutants will still be a minority.

Although they are not on Earth, Magneto can completely implement a three-class citizen system and make ordinary people slaves, but the problem is that the huge number of Ipsilon-class creatures still consumes a lot of resources and cannot be produced. In the end, they still have to rely on powerful mutants to support them. So who will be slaves to whom in the end?

These speculations flashed through Clark's mind quickly. He understood the truth almost instantly, and then said with certainty: "You are repeating the same mistakes."

How could Professor X not understand this? He still said very gently: "We just want to give mutants hope and let them know that there is a paradise for them in the distance. Only in this way can they have a sense of belonging and unite."

Clark shook his head and said, "It will take a long time and may not really work."

"Maybe we don't need to go through all this trouble." Clark stared at Magneto with his blue eyes. Magneto turned his head away. Damn blue eyes.

"How did your current predicament come about? I heard from Dr. Schiller that it's because you can't find any mutant talents in agriculture and animal husbandry, and ordinary people can't understand your situation."

"And the reason why you can't find talents in this field is that there is a country that has settled them all. They live and work there in peace and contentment, and have become so stable that they don't even think about making progress."

"If that's the case, then it means there's a place in this world that's a mutant utopia. Why would you bother building another one?"

Magneto had to turn back to look at Clark and said, "The people there are not on the same page as us."

"But they are very united, aren't they? Even the two leaders of the global mutant civilization like you personally recruited them but couldn't shake them. You should have also tried to tempt them with wealth and power. How good are their lives to be able to reject you again and again?"

Neither Magneto nor Professor X wanted to talk about this topic, but Clark said: "You want to build a utopia in a distant place because as long as the mutants on Earth can't see it, they can imagine how good it is there."

"But imagination is just imagination after all. No matter how many publicity stunts you come up with, it is not as good as seeing it with your own eyes. Moreover, the vast majority of mutants were born on Earth. They have a more realistic understanding of what is happening on Earth."

"Which one do you think they will trust more, the mutants in a country that is right before their eyes and they can even travel there at will, or the virtual paradise in the Andromeda Galaxy that is far away and cannot be seen or touched?"

"We can also let them ..."

"But they will understand that the people who go there are selected," Clark said. "I'm a reporter, you can't hide this from me. They will say that all the people you invited to visit were paid, or that they said so under your coercion or inducement. They won't believe it."

“Isn’t that the case in China?”

"At least China has opened up travel visas to all countries on the surface, although the time is limited, but this is telling everyone that we are not afraid of you coming to see us. As long as you can afford a plane ticket, you can come and see if what we do is real."

"Even if some people can't even afford a plane ticket, this makes them realize that it is too costly to commit such a level of fraud. It is impossible. Even if it is fake, even if only a few cities have done it, it will cost a huge amount of manpower and material resources. In comparison, the cost of your fraud is very low, so it is even less credible."

Magneto remained silent and did not refute. Clark said, "I don't understand why you are unwilling to learn from the other party's successful experience? Is it just because of ideology?"

Magneto shook his head and said, "You can say yes, and you can say no. Their government has this attitude, but no government other than theirs would allow mutants to do this, and we don't have our own government."

"Then build one."

"No one will agree, that's the problem." Magneto said, "Once we do it, everyone will attack us."

"Then go find allies."

"We have no allies. Even the Chinese government will not express support for us because we want to establish our own country. Even the mutants in China will not support us. They never regard them as one with us."

"Then don't establish a country as mutants." Clark leaned forward and placed his hands on the table, staring into Magneto's eyes.

Magneto was slightly stunned. He really didn't understand what Clark meant. What did he mean by not establishing a country as a mutant?

Schiller finally understood why Clark had gone through so much trouble to accomplish this. He couldn't help laughing, and when he saw Magneto's puzzled expression, he tried to suppress the corners of his mouth. He knocked on the table, attracted Magneto's attention, and said.

"If you say you want to establish a country for mutants, everyone will definitely disagree. But if you say you want to rebuild the former Soviet Union, everyone will cheer for the founding ceremony of the mutant country."

Schiller clearly heard Professor X spit out the coffee in his mouth.

Magneto couldn't help rubbing his forehead. He looked at Schiller and said, "Don't think I don't know. You actually..."

"We are not discussing me now, but you. You said that the Chinese government will not support mutants. That's true. In particular, they will definitely not support mutants represented by the Brotherhood of Mutants. Mutants in China have no good feelings towards you at all."

"But you can't deny the country's strength and its firm attitude towards allies. As long as we can establish a relationship with this country, it doesn't matter what the name is."

"On the contrary, there are few supporters of their national system in the world now, and when the interstellar era arrives, the ideological struggle will sooner or later resurface."

"Or maybe it could be said that all countries are putting all their efforts into the interstellar arms race to prove that they are right, just like the Cold War back then."

"It is conceivable that in the new round of arms race, each side needs allies. It is impossible for mutants to be a neutral force and fight to the end. Or do you prefer to cooperate with the United States?"

Magneto's face darkened. He knew that what Schiller said was true, and that this trend was already emerging.

As someone who had experienced the Cold War, he knew that this kind of competition was not necessarily a bad thing, especially when the future stage was vast and limitless, competition and confrontation were instead catalysts for development.

Therefore, people like Nick and Schiller do not oppose this kind of competition, and the major powers also have the same idea and acquiesce in the occurrence of this situation.

In this case, competition will surely intensify, and everyone will try to win over allies as much as possible. In this situation, trying to remain neutral and jump back and forth is the stupidest decision.

Magneto had seen with his own eyes what happened to those small countries that were courting death, and the mutants' current situation was even worse than that of the small countries.

They are not players with land and population at all. They are more like a knife, an enchanted weapon. At least hitting players will be morally condemned, but no one will condemn anyone for using any means to snatch a knife.

If things really develop to this point, he will have no choice. They must take the initiative and make plans early to find a place for themselves to settle down in the next turbulent era.

Would China be a good choice?

Magneto doesn't know, but he knows he can't choose the United States. All the United States wants is a knife. They don't allow their weapons to have any autonomous consciousness. If Magneto is willing to become a weapon, then why is he causing trouble in the United States?

If he was willing to bow his head, the Brotherhood of Mutants would not be a terrorist organization. His unwillingness to lose autonomy was the fundamental reason for the birth of this organization and the way it did things.

Schiller had long seen that Magneto had a perverted desire to control himself and others. This came from the fact that he had no control over too many things in his early years. This psychological trauma caused him to have an excessive compensatory mentality.

But the United States is also a country with a strong desire for control. What it wants is not win-win cooperation, but annexation and control. Zero-sum game is a term written in the American national spirit. The unchallengeable authority is the foundation of their dominance in the world, which means that they are destined not to bow to others.

Since neither side is willing to give in, naturally no cooperation can be reached. And since the United States cannot be chosen, there is only one choice left.

Magneto still showed some hesitation. He said: "I am not opposed to cooperating with any country, but I must know what I can get from such cooperation. Is it a real country?"

"Does it really matter to you whether you have a country or not?" Clark asked. "If you actually control a place, do you have to call yourself a king?"

"Of course not." Magneto said with some disdain: "I'm not that naive."

"That's easy. Since you used to work for a terrorist organization, why can't you make your activities more public?" Clark said, spreading his hands. "What's the point of attacking a US military base? Don't you know what's most important to the United States?"

Magneto looked at him.

"What do you think of the name Mexican Contras?"

"I...what????"

Magneto looked at Clark who said this.

"You're crazy."

"Are you afraid?"

Magneto had to look at Schiller again, and the meaning of his eyes was - "Where did you find such a lunatic?"

Schiller shook his head and said in his heart: "He is not a madman, he is just a good friend of mankind."
