Chapter 200 Universe 25! The hopeless end of humanity?

【Rat Utopia Experiment! 】

[Will the end of mankind be Universe 25? ]

[First, let me briefly introduce the meaning of Utopia in this video. ]

【Utopia is a conception.】

【A beautiful, equal society like a paradise. 】

[In this utopian society, the world that humans dream of is fully realized. ]

[But everyone knows that it is difficult to find a truly beautiful paradise in reality. ]

[The mouse utopia we are going to talk about today is an experiment. ]

【A biological experiment reminds people of social issues. 】

【As we all know, mice are also social animals. 】

【Just like us humans. 】

【Suppose we create the most ideal environment for mice to live in the laboratory. 】

【A Utopia for mice. 】

【So, mice are also social animals. 】

[How will they live in their utopian world? ]

[And this is the social experiment on rats conducted by American psychologist John Calhoun in the 1960s and 1970s.]

[In the experiment, he created an absolutely safe space for the mice. ]

【There are no natural enemies in space. 】

【Instead, there are various living facilities, as well as an inexhaustible supply of food and water. 】

[It can be said to be a natural paradise for mice. 】

[The entire Mouse Paradise not only has food and water, but also has a specially controlled climate. ]

【There is also a medical team serving them to prevent the plague from occurring. 】

[In the mouse utopia, it is not just an empty space. ]

[Instead, there are many tunnels and rooms specially designed for mice to live, move around and play. ]

[The experimental site is called Mouse Universe. ]

【But after all, the venue cannot be infinite. 】

[So the only problem in the entire Mouse Paradise is limited space. ]

[According to speculation, it can only hold 3,840 mice.]

[Logically speaking, such a mouse utopia should result in a world where all mice thrive.]

[At least, before the rat population exceeds the limit, it should be thriving and very prosperous. ]

【But the result shocked everyone! 】

[The results of the experiment are also considered to predict the future of human society to a certain extent.]

[This is a warning to the future development of mankind, which deserves everyone's deep thought and vigilance.]

Outside the sky.

Qin Dynasty.

Li Si saw that the content of the experiment was to create an experiment in which the mice would eat and sleep, sleep and eat, and live a carefree life.

I feel that these experts of later generations are somewhat speechless.

"Give mice a safe environment, an endless supply of food and water, and no natural enemies."

“Is it necessary to conduct such an experiment?”

"Mice are the common people, we can't let them sit idle!"

"I'm afraid that in the end, the result of the experiment is that the number of rats will increase infinitely, and finally fill up the entire so-called rat utopia?"

Three Kingdoms.

Zhuge Liang was quite interested in this experiment.

"Mice are creatures that reproduce very quickly."

"If those granaries and farmland are not properly cared for, a lot of damage can easily occur."

"Later experiments specifically created a space to provide mice with a safe environment and unlimited food."

"It is foreseeable that the rat population will definitely expand rapidly."

"But if it expands infinitely."

"The final number will exceed the total number of mice that can be accommodated in the entire experimental universe."

"Maybe by then, the rats will start killing each other?"

"Control the quantity within an appropriate range?"

And in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Shen Kuo was not optimistic about the future of the Mouse Utopia.

"In this utopian world."

"The rat population will soon exceed the capacity."

"And then they'll have a bloody war!"

"Rats are not harmless and gentle animals. They will kill each other."

"After reducing the number to a few hundred, they recovered quickly."

"We have reached a new population peak, exceeding the carrying capacity of rats."

"And then start a war with each other?"

Shen Kuo gave his own speculation.

Then suddenly I broke out in a cold sweat because of my own speculation!
"The Sky Curtain says that mice are social creatures, just like humans."

"And every time after the peak of prosperity, the contradiction of arable land becomes prominent, and then there will be a great chaos! The population will drop sharply!"

"Then a new dynasty emerged, and then there was another peak of prosperity... The population increased, and the contradiction of arable land became prominent..."

Shen Kuo was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat!
I didn’t dare to think any further and just looked at the sky seriously.

Canopy.

[In the experimental field, in the mice’s paradise, there are four male mice and four female mice. ]

【Because the location is perfect for mice. 】

【So they quickly multiplied. 】

[During the first three months of the experiment, it was perfect mouse heaven! ]

[Each mouse lives his own life, and regardless of their status, they all have ample space.]

[The mice are very friendly and live the life that all mice dream of. ]

[But starting from the 100th day of the experiment, as the number of mice grew exponentially, the entire experimental site began to become crowded.]

【Originally everyone had a comfortable and spacious single apartment. 】

[Now, many mice are forced to squeeze into a relatively small space and cannot distance themselves from each other.]

[Classes emerged in the mouse population.]

[Some strong adult mice showed dominance.]

[They occupied the best rooms in the arena and had plenty of female companions.]

[They would use violent means to bite young mice that dared to invade their territory.]

【Young, skinny mice. 】

【They can only move to the square in the center of the venue and live in groups. 】

[These vulnerable mice still show courtship behavior toward females.]

[However, once this behavior is discovered, it will be bitten by those strong male rats. ]

[But it is worth noting that even the vulnerable mice driven to the center of the field still have an inexhaustible supply of food and water. ]

[The living environment is a bit crowded, but it is adequate. ]

[It did not say that there was not enough food because of the sudden increase in the number of rats.]

[Or in other words, they are so crowded that even survival becomes a problem. ]

【And it starts from the 300th day of the experiment. 】

[The situation changes again.]

[The young male rats that have grown up gradually began to challenge the old male rats that have the most resources.] [The old male rats were forced to constantly patrol their own territory.]

【But gradually, facing more and more challengers, they began to become powerless. 】

[Thus, they lose the ability to protect their territory and females.]

[The female mice found that they could no longer get the protection of the old male mice, so they left their nests and began to form a group mainly composed of female mice.]

【Live together and resist external threats. 】

[By this stage, the female mice barely responded to the males’ advances.]

[After a long period of not getting a response, the male mice gradually stopped actively courting.]

【Instead, they gathered in the central square. 】

[All day long, apart from eating and drinking, he just keeps combing his hair. 】

[Some of the more dominant male mice will attack other weaker male mice for no reason.]

[But these weak male mice did not resist at all, and did not even run away! ]

[Just sit there and be bitten silently, accepting it submissively. 】

When seeing this, the comments had already started a big fight.

《The future of mankind has already been determined! 》

"Great!"

《Is this true or false? Isn’t this experiment too weird? 》

《Frightened brothers typed their fear on the public screen! 》

《Yes, very similar! 》

"Classes began to emerge, resistance began to emerge, fighting began to occur, and the appearance of tiring and lying on the grass began to appear. It's terrifying to think about it carefully!"

"Female mice stick together, while male mice become effeminate and act badly!"

"Rat, I'm really going to be rotten!"

……

And outside the sky.

The ancients also noticed something was wrong. Logically speaking, they should have no worries about food and clothing and should not have to worry about the safety of the rat utopia.

All the mice need to do is eat, drink and have fun.

Even in the later period, due to the limited space in Utopia, class differentiation occurred among the rats.

Those powerful rats live in single rooms.

The weak mice lived in the large dormitory in the central square.

But it doesn’t affect their daily eating, drinking and having fun!

It is still the life that every ordinary citizen in ancient times dreamed of.

But in this kind of life that even humans envy, the mice actually began to engage in such strange social behaviors.

Having a hard time?
And the sky curtain continued to play.

This continued and made all the ancient people feel that something was more and more wrong.

[At this stage, the newly born mice all showed strange changes. ]

[They no longer court, compete for space, or fight.]

[Every day I eat, drink and have fun. After I am full, I comb my hair. 】

【Do nothing.】

[The female mice no longer raise their pups.]

[Even if baby mice are born, they are driven out of the nest very early.]

[And male mice are increasingly not courting mates.]

[The number of mice showing signs of courtship is decreasing.]

[Even if these new generation of abnormal mice were introduced into a society of normal mice, they still did nothing.]

[They are completely unable to integrate into normal mouse life.]

[Female mice lose their maternal instincts, and male mice lose their desires.]

[After the 560th day, the entire mouse utopia began to collapse rapidly.]

[Almost all mice have lost their motivation to socialize.]

[They no longer court, fight over territory, or fight, they just eat and drink together and then groom themselves.]

[Even if a small number of mice are born occasionally, they will soon be abandoned.]

[So almost no new mice survived to adulthood.]

[In May 1970, less than two years after the mouse utopia of Universe was running, the last baby mouse was born.]

[From then on, in the entire perfect Universe No. 25, no female was willing to reproduce.]

[Even at this time, the mice still have endless food, and their territory is no longer crowded.]

【And then in 1973. 】

[At its peak, there were thousands of mice in Universe 25.]

[The last mouse also died, and the entire Universe 25 ended with the extinction of the mice.]

[And Universe 25 is not an isolated case! ]

【During the entire long experimental period. 】

[The experimental team has built several experimental sites! ]

[It’s just that Universe No. 25 is the most perfect and the most famous among them.]

【So this series of experiments is called the 25th Universe Experiment.】

[No matter which numbered universe it is, the final result is that the mice will decline and even become extinct! ]

【The experiment in Universe 25 has also changed from a biological problem to a sociological experiment.】

【And the influence continues to this day. 】

The curtain ended here, and nothing more was said.

However, netizens have already started extensive discussions in the barrage and comment sections of the video.

Is extinction the fate of mankind?

"Born in sorrow, die in comfort."

"I am so far ahead!"

"It's really scary! I couldn't sleep after watching it last night."

《Could it be because there is not enough living space? 》

"No, if it was because there was not enough space, then a large number of rats would have died. If there was enough space, the remaining rats would still continue to perish and die."

"Could excessive inbreeding cause serious problems for mice?"

So we humans must have pacifiers?

"If we don't entertain ourselves to death, will we all die?"

"Could it be that we humans are actually an experimental site for advanced civilizations?"

……

For modern audiences, Experiment 25 is a very impactful experiment.

Not to mention the ancients.

For a time, many ancient people from all dynasties fell into deep worry and thought.

I feel like the food in my hand doesn’t taste good anymore.

But for most ordinary people in ancient times.

Instead, I am somewhat envious of the little white mice in later generations.

For example, in the late Yuan Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been hungry for nine meals in three days, looked at the little white mouse in the 25th universe with envy and said with emotion:

"I'm jealous!"

"All they do is eat and sleep!"

"If I could have unlimited food, I would eat as much as the professor who does the experiment and has no money to eat at home!"
