Chapter 276: Vegapunk's Dream
After Ember's genetic samples were brought back to the world, Mousse initially tried to clone himself, but all of them failed, so he had to give up the idea of secrecy and let Vegapunk join the research group.
However, even the world's unparalleled Vegapunk only avoided Mousse from wasting time further......
"The Lunalia are completely supernatural creatures who can absorb energy directly to sustain themselves."
This conclusion unlocks the secret that the Lunarians can survive in any environment:
First of all, there is energy in any environment, which ensures that you will not starve to death; And if you don't need to breathe, you won't be suffocated to death; As for those harsh environments that can directly kill ordinary creatures, such as high temperature, extreme cold, oxidation, reduction, etc., all of them must be achieved through energy changes, and being able to directly absorb energy can naturally block these processes.
But this also condemns the cruel fact that the demise of the Lunaria clan is inevitable, because supernatural beings are completely different from natural creatures in terms of life form, and they look very much like humans, but in fact, the bloodline factor is even farther away from humans than bacteria......
So it's impossible to marry and have children with other races, and in the context of the only single seedling left in the world, it's almost like announcing the end of this species in advance.
As for cloning, it is even more impossible to count on, as mentioned above, the soul of the clone is very weak, to be precise, the lifespan is very short, and the stronger the physical body of the clone, the shorter the lifespan is relatively speaking.
In this case, the innate strength of the Lunalia tribe has become an insurmountable flaw, and the lifespan must be incredibly short, unless there is a way to increase the efficiency of accelerated cultivation by a hundred times, the cloning of Ember will not even be able to provide test subjects......
Therefore, Mousse's original intention to extract genetic samples from Ember was all in vain......
However, it does not mean that Mousse's original actions were just in vain, first of all, as a scientist whose mission is to explore the world, it is already a great gain to be able to unlock the secret of why the Lunalia clan can adapt to all environments;
What's more, although the genes of the Lunalia clan could not be transplanted into humans, after being inspired, Vegapunk came up with the idea of extracting energy directly from the environment......
What does this mean?
It means a perpetual motion machine, well, this transcendent world originally has a perpetual motion machine, but the perpetual motion machine realized by the power of science can be mass-produced!
This is placed on the earth before Mousse crossing, and even controlled nuclear fusion technology is not worth mentioning compared to it, and it may have to be a technology that directly converts mass into energy.
With such technology, isn't it fun to go to the sea of stars?
However, after that enthusiasm subsided, both of them realized that the actual situation was not as optimistic as they thought, because mass production does not mean that it can be produced indefinitely, and the conversion device still has a cost, including materials, labor, and time, which are all production costs.
In addition to the one-time production costs, any installation needs to be maintained, and generally has to be operated, these are also costs, or ongoing costs that must be invested all the time.
In order to truly benefit the world, they also need to find as cheap raw materials as possible, reduce the quality of labor, and reduce the number of man-hours required, and simplify the maintenance and operation of the plant.
None of this can be achieved in a short period of time, and even Vegapunk suspects that he may not be able to see the final result in his lifetime.
But so what?
This is a great project that will change the world forever!
The enormous problem of human beings, which has attracted countless scientists to try their best to overcome, is nothing compared to it!
Even if you dedicate the lives of all the scientists in the world, or even the next ten generations of scientists, to it's totally worth it!
However, after all, determination cannot be directly turned into human and financial resources, and not long after the official start of this research, Vegapunk, who has more experience in managing projects, realized that under the situation that Charlotte Lingling could not cut the problem of human enormity and limit the investment in other projects, he would not even be able to see the first step towards mass production in his life by relying on the power of all nations.
So Vegapunk suggested to Mousse to bring in more investors and scientists, and the first thing he thought of was a world government that had not yet fully recovered to its former glory, but had a solid foundation.
Mousse secretly laughed in his heart at the naivety of this "half-master", the first consideration of the world government is to maintain the rule of the Celestial Dragons, and for this reason, even most of the scientific and technological achievements that have been developed so far have been restricted from being promoted, and the pirate world, whose productivity level is actually far beyond the earth, is forced to stop at the modern level, how can it be possible to tolerate fundamental changes in this world?
"Even if they obtain this epoch-making great scientific and technological achievement, those bastards will only use it as a weapon to maintain their own rule and count on them to benefit the world, Mr. Baker, you really think too much!"
In fact, Vegapunk understands what Mousse said, but he is still unwilling to give up his illusions, hoping to persuade Mousse to persuade Charlotte Lingling to agree to cooperate with the world government.
"Besides, even if the governments of the world are willing to invest in this subject, the nations are their enemies after all...... Yes, now that a peace treaty has been concluded, but it is still an enemy, otherwise why would the world government restrict the brothers and sisters from leaving the new world? Are the five old stars Alzheimer's? In this case, Mr. Baker, do you think there can be trust between the two sides? If you don't even have trust, how can you cooperate? ”
In order to persuade Begapunk to die, Mousse's mouth was worn out, and finally he even said, "Investment is restricted now, but my mother is in her 50s...... There will be no indefinite demands on the enormity of human beings, and sooner or later the project can be stopped. This kind of rebellious words frightened the eldest brother Perospero and left quickly......
But Vegapunk was as stubborn as a sea floor stone, "Mousse, you are still young, and the fruit ability can extend the lifespan several times, of course you are not in a hurry!" But I'm almost 40 years old! I can't afford to wait! This is reality, not comics, after the age of 40, at most 50 years old, the scientific research ability will decline significantly! ”
After hearing these heartfelt words, Mousse gave up persuasion, even if he is a smart and wise person, once he is dominated by feelings, there is no reason to say, "Or try it, if you can do the best, if you don't succeed, you can shatter his illusions, and let him work for my family sincerely......"
