Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon

This is not just a small research project, it is clearly a national scientific research project!

After listening to Bai Zhen's introduction, Leafa cried out in her heart, "What a liar!"

Bai Zhen kept talking about astronomy, which led to her understanding of Bai Zhen's scientific research project remaining at the most basic level of stargazing. He then speculated on their cycles and patterns and established a set of basic astronomical theories.

But unexpectedly, Bai Zhen’s so-called astronomical research project was actually to launch a rocket into outer space!

Before this, she had never heard of terms like rockets and outer space. It was only because of Bai Zhen's introduction that she understood what these words meant.

Bai Zhen asked: "How about it? As long as you join, I can provide funds and technology, and you just need to do scientific research well."

Leafa stood up with a pale face, and immediately bowed 90 degrees to Bai Zhen to apologize: "I'm sorry! I was too self-righteous!"

Bai Zhen guessed the reason for Leafa's sudden apology and explained, "This is a very new subject. It's okay if you don't have previous professional knowledge. I will teach you the skills and knowledge."

Leafa was already thinking about backing out: "This project is really amazing. My personal ability is limited. There is really no way I can help!"

Leafa was now very glad that she did not agree rashly not long ago, and asked calmly.

Otherwise, there would be an embarrassing situation where someone is looking for a golden lion at a job, but you, Marunori, who is overconfident, would come forward and try to impersonate him.

When you start working, you look around and find that you are surrounded by senior people in various fields, while you are a fool who knows nothing.

Just thinking about that scene made her feel very uncomfortable.

Bai Zhen sighed. He didn't expect that he would run into a wall when he just recruited the first person.

Bai Zhen repeatedly confirmed with Leafa: "Are you sure you don't want to join? This is a great opportunity to go down in history."

Of course, Leafa also knew that this was an opportunity to go down in history.

As long as you complete it, no, even as long as you join it, you can become the world's top scholar.

Not only will she gain the knowledge she has always dreamed of, but she will also gain the fame that other scholars covet.

This is definitely a smooth road to the pinnacle of scholarship.

but.

She was also very aware of her own weight. If she took part in such an important scientific research project, she would definitely be a drag.

Leafa apologized again: "I'm sorry, Doctor, I don't think I'm capable of doing this job."

Bai Zhen is not actually afraid that the people who join know nothing. What he is afraid of is that the people who join have no desire to learn and no passion for knowledge, which is the most fatal.

But the Leafa in front of him didn't dare to join at all at this moment. Even if she was forced to join, she would quit soon.

Bai Zhen also knew that a forced melon would not be sweet, so he did not correct her mistake. Instead, he gave Leafa some time to think about it: "We are very short of manpower now. We are willing to recruit anyone who is passionate about this business. You can think about it again. If you change your mind, come to my farm to find me."

"I'll think about it again." Leafa didn't refuse death, but said she would think about it carefully.

Having already told Lifa why he had come to their house, Bai Zhen did not waste any time and prepared to ask Lifa to help him convey the matter to the three elder dragon men. He stood up and prepared to leave.

Bai Zhen: "I'll leave the message to you. If you have any questions, you can come to the farm to find me. I'll be busy on the farm during this period."

Seeing Bai Zhen was about to leave, Leafa suddenly called Bai Zhen again. She had a question that she wanted to ask no matter what.

"Doctor, I have a question that I can't figure out. Can you explain it to me?"

"If it's a question I can answer"

"Of course you can answer this question. Can you tell me why you want to launch rockets and satellites so much? And you also want to promote localization. This seems to me to be a thankless task. Even if the launch is successful, it will only make you more famous.

Your current fame has reached its peak with the help of attribute theory. Even if you spend tens or hundreds of billions to launch rockets, I don’t think your fame will rise much. Besides, fame doesn’t seem to be what you are pursuing.”

Bai Zhen replied: "The most direct and simple reason for wanting to launch a satellite is, of course, because satellites can bring me enough benefits. I can use satellites to connect communications around the world. In addition, through satellite photography, I can also detect the movements of monsters on the surface. There are simply too many direct benefits."

After hearing this reason, Leafa was not completely convinced.

If that were all, Bai Zhen wouldn't need to promote the localization of technology. He would just need to bring some experts in this field from another world to do it, just like asking those champions to protect Yanhuo Village.

Bai Zhen paused.

He took a sip of tea and said slowly, "As for why I promote localization, have you heard of the concept of [technology decentralization]?"

“Technology decentralization?”

"That's right. Technology decentralization refers to the process of gradually dispersing the technical authority originally concentrated in the hands of the core team or professionals to a wider range of levels or personnel. Simply put, it is like decentralizing the technology in the dragon-slaying spear to the weapons in the hands of hunters. Applying originally very cutting-edge scientific and technological technologies to other fields through some compromise methods is technology decentralization."

"Can your research plan also delegate technology to lower levels?" Leafa didn't understand why exploring outer space would involve such things. That kind of technology had nothing to do with daily life no matter how you looked at it, and not everyone had the opportunity to travel to outer space.

"There are so many technologies that can be transferred to the research of aerodynamics of rockets. For example, these studies can be transferred to the research of aircraft, which will bring great improvement to the entire aircraft industry. In addition, launching rockets also requires materials, fuels and other technologies, all of which are related to our daily lives.

For example, materials that can withstand the extreme environment of outer space would be almost perfect materials if used in our daily lives. Even if we take them out of our daily lives and talk about assisting hunters, if we have such materials, they can help hunters explore more dangerous secrets and discover more monsters that humans have never seen before.

Fuel is even more important. If we can get a small portion of the high-density fuel used in rockets, it will be enough to crush most of the energy in the world today. In addition to these, research on electronic systems and aircraft engines can also promote and accelerate the production and invention of other electronic products and transportation tools.”

When Leafa heard this, her eyes lit up.

She had never thought about this!

But this is not the whole picture. Bai Zhen continued, "In addition to these industrial technology transfers, some research in the aerospace industry can even be related to maternal and child health, food, and even the medical field."

Leafa was confused and didn't understand how this rocket was related to the maternal and child care field.

Bai Zhen explained in detail: "It's like [super absorbent diapers]. In order to meet the physiological needs of astronauts in space, we must develop and research a diaper with super absorbent properties to solve the embarrassment of astronauts. This technology can be used on babies after reducing the cost."

"There is also [freeze-dried food technology], which is related to the energy replenishment of astronauts in space. Freeze-dried food is the abbreviation of vacuum freeze-dried food. Through low-temperature processing and rapid drying of water, the food is not easy to deteriorate and the nutrients are preserved. The most important thing is that freeze-dried food is very light and very easy to carry. What do you think this technology can be used for?"

Bai Zhen did not answer blindly, but threw the question to Leafa.

Leafa thought of the answer immediately: "It can be used on hunters! It can also be used on business travelers who need to travel long distances."

Bai Zhen nodded and praised Leafa's speed of thinking: "Yes, there are many places where freeze-dried food technology can be used. In addition to these, there are also communication technology, infrared ear thermometers and other technologies that can be released to the market after the research is completed.

In short, if any technology can be used in an extreme environment like space, then using that technology in daily life is a real dimensionality reduction attack. This is also one of the reasons why my hometown spends so much money to explore outer space.

Don't think that this is just a project to launch rockets and satellites. In fact, it is related to the development of all walks of life. By spending only tens of billions of research funds, I can get a large number of research results and greatly develop the scientific and technological level of the entire world. This is simply a great deal for me.

And to be honest, there are many materials and ingredients in this world that my hometown doesn’t have, and they can even be said to be dream materials. If I can promote localization and use some materials to realize some dream materials, I can bring the technology and materials back to promote the development of my hometown, which is a win-win situation.”

At this moment, there was only endless emotion and admiration in Leafa's eyes.

She felt her blood boiling just by listening to it, and her whole body was shaking slightly with excitement.

She never thought that this simple research could produce so many scientific and technological achievements that would benefit the world and humanity.

Leafa took two deep breaths and forced herself to calm down.

She asked the last question: "Doctor, my question may offend you, but I don't understand why you, as a visitor from another world, are so obsessed with promoting this knowledge in our world. If you just want these technologies, you can find other experts who already have the relevant knowledge. There is no need to train new scholars at all."

"Which of these two options would earn you more gratitude: me sharing the world's intelligence and resources with a group of mature experts, or me training a group of scholars and sharing what I know with them?"

Lily French said.

The answer to this question is simple, of course it is the latter.

The former will regard Bai Zhen as a generous boss, while the latter will regard Bai Zhen as a god who brought fire to mankind.

There is no doubt that the former is more likely to betray than the latter!

"Of course, this is just an analysis from a rational perspective. From an emotional perspective, there is only one answer, and that is naturally because of love and curiosity."

"Like? Curious?"

"Yes. I like the people of Yanhuo Village very much. If possible, I hope to use my ability to make everyone here live a happy life, so that they don't have to worry about the Hundred Dragons Night Parade that comes every 50 years.

As for curiosity, aren't you curious about what the world looks like? Aren't you curious about what's in the deep outer space? Maybe there are new life forms on another planet less than hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from us! That would be a 'new world' for anyone and any life form on this planet!"

Leafa just listened to Bai Zhen describing those incredible fantasies, and her eyes were full of longing.

She is also very curious! She also wants to uncover the mystery of this world!

Leafa exhaled a breath of hot air, her little face flushed.

She now very much wants to join this great cause.

But the remaining trace of rationality stopped her from doing anything rash.

After talking with Leafa, Bai Zhen also planned to leave.

He stood up and said goodbye to Leafa, "It's time for me to go back. I'll leave the recruitment to you and your teachers. I'm very short of people right now. I'm willing to recruit anyone who is interested in this career and willing to study and research hard. Of course, we may need to conduct some review to determine whether they can join in the end."

"I'll ask for you, Doctor!"

Leafa stood up and escorted Bai Zhen out of the house.

At the door, Bai Zhen once again extended an olive branch to Leafa and said, "If you change your mind, you can come to me at any time. I welcome you to join me."

Because of Leafa's thirst and enthusiasm for knowledge, Bai Zhen really wanted to recruit this dragon girl.

In fact, many of the scholars who come to Yanhuo Village today can be said to be the top scholars in the world. It is always right to find the scholar you want among this group of people. If others want to join, Bai Zhen also welcomes those lovely and pure scholars.

Bai Zhen waved goodbye to Leafa and said, "Just drop it off here. See you next time."

After saying that, Bai Zhen walked towards his farm.

Leafa looked at Bai Zhen's leaving back, slightly absent-minded.

She only chatted with Bai Zhen for about 20 minutes this afternoon.

But in these 20 minutes, she seemed to have opened the door to a new world.

Energy, Materials, Aerodynamics, Electronic Communications, Food Technology, Mechanical Engineering

Just this single project encompasses countless areas of her interest and knowledge.

Just as she could no longer see Bai Zhen's back, Leafa's legs suddenly went weak and she fell to the ground.

She lowered her head and her expression could not be seen for a moment. After a moment, she stroked her face with one hand, her breathing rapid and hot.

"Haha, what should I do~"

She felt extremely hot all over just thinking about these things, and she wished she could devote herself to it wholeheartedly at this moment.

Soon, Leafa made up her mind.

There was no longer any hesitation in her eyes, only endless fanaticism.
