The fruit of the book of pirates

Chapter 276 Vegapunk's Dream

After Jhin's genetic samples were brought back to Wan Guo, Mousse tried to clone himself at first, but the results all ended in failure. He could only give up the idea of ​​keeping it secret and let Vegapunk join the research team.

However, even Vegapunk, who is unparalleled in the world, just prevented Mousse from continuing to waste time
"The Lunaria family is a supernatural creature in a complete sense. They can directly absorb energy to maintain their own survival."

This conclusion unlocks the secret that the Lunaria family can survive in any environment:

First of all, there is energy in any environment, which ensures that you will not starve to death; if you don’t need to breathe, you will naturally not be suffocated; as for those harsh environments that can directly kill ordinary creatures, such as high temperature and extreme cold , Oxidation, reduction, etc. are all realized through energy changes, and being able to directly absorb energy can naturally block these processes.

But this also in fact pronounced the cruel fact that "the demise of the Lunaria family is inevitable", because supernatural creatures are completely different from natural creatures in terms of life forms. Although they look like humans, in fact, the blood factor is even more Bacteria are far away from humans.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to marry and produce children with other races. Under the background that there is only Jhin's single seedling left in the world, this is almost equivalent to announcing the end of this species in advance.

As for cloning, you can't count on it. As mentioned above, the clone's self-generated soul is very weak, and to be precise, its lifespan is very short, and the stronger the clone's body, the shorter its lifespan.

In this case, the natural strength of the Lunalia tribe has become an insurmountable defect. If you want to be weak, you can't be weak, and your lifespan must be unbelievably short. Unless there is a way to increase the efficiency of accelerated training by a hundred times, otherwise Jhin's clones can't even provide test subjects.
Therefore, Mousse's original intention of extracting genetic samples from Jhin's body was all in vain.
However, it cannot be said that Mousse's behavior at the beginning was just a waste of time. First of all, as a scientist who takes exploring the world as his own responsibility, it is already a great reward to be able to unravel the secret of why the Lunaria family can adapt to all environments ;
More importantly, although the genes of the Lunaria family cannot be transplanted into humans, after being inspired, Vegapunk thought of the idea of ​​directly extracting energy from the environment
what does this mean?
It means perpetual motion machines, well, this extraordinary world already has perpetual motion machines, but perpetual motion machines realized through scientific power can be mass-produced!
If this were to be placed on the earth before Mousse crossed over, even the controllable nuclear fusion technology would not be worth mentioning compared to it, it might have to be a technology that directly converts mass into energy.

With this kind of technology, isn't going to the stars and the sea just like playing?

However, after that burst of enthusiasm subsided, both of them realized that the actual situation was not as optimistic as they thought, because mass production does not mean unlimited production, and the conversion device still has costs, including materials, labor, and time. are production costs.

In addition to the one-time production cost, any device needs maintenance, and generally speaking, it must be operated by someone. These are also costs, or continuous costs that must be invested all the time.

In order to truly benefit the whole world, they also need to find cheap raw materials as much as possible, lower the requirements for the quality of labor, and the required working hours must be reduced as much as possible, and the maintenance and operation of the device must also be simplified as much as possible.

None of these can be achieved in a short period of time, and even Vegapunk doubts that he may not be able to see the final results in his life.

But so what?

This is a great subject that can completely change the world!

Compared with the subject of human gigantism, which has attracted countless scientists to try their best to overcome it, it is nothing to mention!
Even if the lives of all the scientists in the world, or even the next ten generations of scientists, are invested in it, it is totally worth it!

However, determination cannot be directly transformed into human, financial and material resources after all. Not long after the official start of this research, Vegapunk, who has more experience in project management, realized that it was impossible for Charlotte Lingling to cut down the subject of human gigantism and limit it. Without the investment of other projects, relying on the strength of Wanguo alone, he might not even see the first step of mass production in his life.

So Vegapunk suggested to Mousse to bring in more investors and scientists, and the first thing he thought of was the world government, which has not yet fully recovered to its former glory, but has a solid foundation after all.

Mousse secretly laughed at the naivety of this "half teacher". The first consideration of the world government is to maintain the rule of the Tianlong people. For this reason, even most of the scientific and technological achievements that have been developed so far are restricted from promotion, and the productivity level is actually far beyond The world of pirates on Earth has been forced to stagnate at the modern level, so how can it tolerate fundamental changes in this world?
"Even if they have obtained this epoch-making great scientific and technological achievement, those bastards will only use it as a weapon to maintain their own rule and expect them to benefit the world. Mr. Baker, you are really thinking too much!"

Vegapunk actually understands what Mousse said, but he is still unwilling to give up his fantasy, hoping to persuade Mousse to persuade Charlotte Lingling to agree to cooperate with the World Government.

"Besides, even if the world government is willing to invest in this project, the nations are their enemies after all. Yes, they have concluded a peace treaty, but they are still enemies. Otherwise, why should the world government restrict brothers and sisters from leaving the new world? Five old stars are old people. Demented? In this case, Mr. Baker, do you think the two sides can have trust? How can we cooperate without trust?"

In order to persuade Vegapunk to give up, Mousse's lips were worn out, and finally he even said, "Investment is restricted now, but my mother is in her 50s and won't impose higher requirements on the giantization of human beings without limit. Sooner or later You can stop that project." Such rebellious words scared the elder brother Perospero to leave quickly
But Vegapunk was as stubborn as Hailoushi, "Mousse, you are still young, and the fruit ability can extend your life several times, of course you are not in a hurry! But I am almost 40 years old! I can't wait Come on! This is reality, not a novel or a comic book. After 40 years old, at most 50 years old, scientific research ability will decline significantly!"

After hearing these heartfelt words, Mousse gave up persuasion. Even the wisest and wisest people, once they are dominated by emotions, there is no reason to say, "Why don't you just try it, it will be the best, if it doesn't work, it will be the best." It can shatter his illusions and make him work for my family sincerely."
