Chapter 91: The True Value of the Mag-Mag Fruit!
In the Holy Land, Mary Geoise, Im wasn't playing tennis. Instead, he stayed alone in the Treehouse between the Moon, recording something in a notebook with a serious expression, occasionally showing looks of recollection and thought.
"Seastone inlaid in the Ship Bottom of Marine Warships, making Sea Kings feel that the Marine Warship is the Sea, can greatly reduce the chance of being discovered by Sea Kings in the Calm Belt. The technical difficulty shouldn't be high; it should be researchable just by mentioning it. We also need to add Paddlewheels, Propellers, and Steam Propulsion."
While recalling, he wrote these down on white paper. Of course, he didn't understand overly professional Technology knowledge, so he only jotted down the general ideas.
This was because he was preparing to gently push the development of the Marines' science and technology.
Mainly, he had decided to disclose the matter of the Star Gate to the Five Elders and the others soon, which would likely involve contact with other Civilizations, thus creating a sense of tension.
Vegapunk researched these things within a few years of the original plot starting, but for the current World Government, that's something twenty-odd years in the future.
Im couldn't wait that long.
He felt that some things indeed required long periods of Research and Experimentation, but some things could actually be fast-tracked.
Current Marine Warships don't have Seastone installed in their Ship Bottoms, nor do they have Steam Propulsion, let alone Paddlewheels and Propellers. Therefore, it's difficult for them to navigate the Calm Belt, and their speed is much slower.
He recalled that when Momonga took Empress Hancock from Amazon Lily to Impel Down, it only took a little over four days, but now it would take at least a week.
"Animal Cyborgization, he already developed that in the Future Kingdom. After so many years, it must be very mature by now. I just need to think about how to utilize this Technology."
"And Artificial Life Technology using Lineage Factor." Im looked at the relevant Research Data on the Science Unit submitted by the Five Elders and smiled, "Oh—just starting Research?"
This should be the advanced Technology of the Germa Kingdom's Cloning Technology.
In fact, whether it was Vinsmoke Judge, Queen of the Beast Pirates, or the future Caesar, their biochemical technology was essentially what Vegapunk had already discarded.
However, they did come up with some new tricks, such as Genetic Modification starting from the embryonic stage, giving infants Superhuman Physique and Superpowers.
Although there were some deficiencies in emotions, from the looks of Sanji and Reiju, it was just a matter of probability. The most important thing was that none of them could disobey Judge's Orders.
"Isn't this the best Cipher Pol seedling? If this Technology can be maturely mastered, there will be no need to find Orphans to train in the future."
Thinking of this, Im's Gaze flickered, and he became interested in the Germa Kingdom and the Vinsmoke family in the North Blue.
"At this point in time, the eldest daughter Reiju should have just been born, or still in her mother's womb. Three years later, Ichiji, Niji, Sanji, and Yonji will be born as quadruplets on the same day."
"Then let's not touch them for now. We'll wait until the four brothers appear before picking the fruit!"
For the Germa Kingdom, the biggest obstacle is that it is itself an Affiliated Country, and even one of the fifty Member Nations qualified to participate in the Reverie.
So, Vinsmoke Judge cannot be arrested casually, but all the Research Data and Experimental Equipment he produced, as well as the relevant Researchers, can be confiscated. Reiju and the others can also be taken away as Contraband.
Because, apart from the Science Unit, Research on Lineage Factor is an act explicitly prohibited by the World Government. Doing so is reasonable and legal.
If he wants to continue his Research work, there is only one choice: join the Science Unit. Oh, it's the Academy of Science now.
"However, with this guy's Ambition, it's unlikely he'll join the Academy of Science and honestly be a Scientist," Im chuckled.
In his eyes, the current Vinsmoke Judge is like a Chicken laying eggs. Once the eggs are laid, take the eggs and then lock him up.
Next, he shifted his attention to Queen.
"Plague Bullets are nothing much, but the Mummy Virus and Ice Oni Virus are somewhat interesting. They are very similar to the future Caesar's Land of Death. If there's a chance to capture him, he can be thrown into the Biochemical Research Institute. If not, then send the idea to Caesar, and he should be able to create it."
Im found that the biochemical virus weapons in this World seem to be the type that infiltrates the body from the outside. In his impression, didn't poison gas and plagues usually start acting from within the body?
Of course, he didn't understand it very well either. Perhaps in his Previous Life, there were also viruses that first infected the skin.
"And this guy's Human Body Modification Technology. If utilized well, how many disabled people could regain mobility? It seems I have to find a way to 'invite' him back. Working for that guy Kaido is too much of a waste!"
While recording, Im complained in his Heart.
"However, the Human Body Gigantification Experiment at Punk Hazard must be stopped. What's the use of that thing? If you want giant soldiers, it's better to capture some of the Giant Race, let them have Children, and then train them."
He mainly felt uncomfortable using the Children of Natural Persons for biochemical experiments. Although he wasn't a good person and valued the Authority and Influence in his hands, he still had a basic Bottom Line.
Unless a Situation that seriously threatened his Rule arose, the Bottom Line must be upheld.
Children are the Bottom Line.
As for Vinsmoke's Ichiji and the others, in his opinion, they were more akin to Advanced Clone Modified Warriors and could not be lumped together with Natural Persons.
"Ah, speaking of which, I have to find a way to deal with that Giant Kingdom in Elbaf. Not only does it block the Entrance/Exit of the High-Speed Skyway, but its Attitude towards the World Government has always been one of refusing Cooperation and even hostility. This is being stubborn!"
Thinking of this, Im's Gaze turned cold.
To be honest, as a Transmigrator, he truly didn't care about the Grudges and Conflicts from hundreds of years ago. As long as they were willing to cooperate well and be obedient from now on, he was willing to accept their continued existence and even give them some extra care.
Fish-Man Island was like this.
But if it was truly impossible, then he definitely couldn't keep such a large Time Bomb in his Homeland Rear.
After opening the Star Gate, Conflicts and Wars with the Civilizations of Ten Thousand Worlds would surely be frequent. He didn't want to be Backstabbed by these Giants.
"Either destroy them at some point, or support a New Giant King who leans towards the World Government!"
At this moment, Im realized his Thoughts had wandered off topic. What he needed to think about today was matters related to Science and Technology. He immediately suppressed the matter of the Giant Race back into his Heart.
"Vegapunk must be kept under control. Let me think... His Lifelong Goal is to allow the Citizens of the Future Country Baldimore to live in a warm Environment. For this, he even created an ultra-large Heater, but it was forced to stop due to lack of Funding and Technology at the time."
"So, can I provide Funding and support him to continue improving this Heater? He should figure out the Technology aspect himself."
Actually, Im felt that to warm up Baltigo, a Winter Island, it wasn't necessary to rely solely on Science and Technology. The Devil Fruit Ability could also do it.
For example, send Kizaru there to use his Awakening, dispel the Wind and Dark Clouds on the Island, turning it into a sleepless Island that never lacks light. Then, have Akainu go there as well to create an Active Volcano, giving Baltigo enough Geothermal Energy. This way, the problems of ice and snow on the Island could also be solved.
"Speaking of which, the true Value of the Mag-Mag Fruit's Awakening isn't in Combat, but in being able to artificially create eternal Active Volcanoes and Geothermal Energy! I remember this thing can be used for Power Generation!"
Im's eyes lit up, but he didn't notice that his Thoughts had wandered off topic again.
