Chapter 228: The Feasibility of Artificial Devil Fruit
"The skill recorded on this copper plate is not the short-lived arcane spell that Mellon Hoffman just cast, right?"
Raymond frowned as he looked at the arcane skill in his hand that took three hundred days to master.
This skill is indeed awesome, but it is useless in his current state.
The use of this skill requires a lifespan, which is not worth the gain. Previously, he lost thirty years of life because of his poor hands twisting the "Rubik's Alchemy Cube". This skill will shorten his life if he uses it too much, and it is obviously not suitable for him now.
What's more, a profession like telekinesis cannot reach a very high state of mental power. He is a novice. With his current Sequence 8 mental power level, he can control a Sequence 7 transcendent at most. If he really wants to kill someone, he might as well chop him with a knife.
Save yourself the trouble...
But he always felt that recording arcane magic on this copper plate would not be that simple. Maybe Mellon's way of opening it was wrong?
However, after this battle, Raymond also saw his shortcomings.
In the future, not only will I need to strengthen my mental training, I'm afraid I will also have to find some equipment to defend against such mental spell attacks.
For example, the legendary psychic nemesis legendary equipment [Stanley's Magnetic Helmet]? Hmm... It seems that this piece of equipment is still lying in a dwarf warehouse in the Endless Sea, gathering dust.
...
Since being saved by Elijah, Raymond has been a lot more tolerant of the girl. He also chose to laugh it off when she came to the room every night.
"Uncle, I'm here to borrow the bathroom again..."
"Wow...Sister Anna, you have a good figure. Do you want me to rub your back?"
"Sister Anna, I'm so sleepy, can I sleep here?"
"Hey... Oops, I accidentally ended up chatting so late..."
"..."
Ilya always found an excuse to stay in the house.
When this girl first borrowed a bathroom, she was coy and secretive. But after hanging out with Anna for a long time, she didn't learn anything else, but she learned the bold and charming style clearly. The two women no longer have it.
I avoided the possibility that there was a man in the house, and the bathroom door was never closed...
Probably because she has been with Anna for a long time, this girl has learned some tricks to seduce people, and she occasionally shows off, and even invites Raymond to join them on the big bed. Whenever she hears this, Anna's eyes are full of slyness, as if she doesn't care.
He was so aroused that he didn't mind being in the same bed with him. He didn't dare to talk to her.
...
Raymond also didn't expect that the high-precision instruments he received from the scientific research base would be much more valuable than expected.
In Lulu's words, no matter how expensive the instrument is, you can always buy it with money, but the experimental data recorded in those instruments is the most priceless treasure.
Although the evil Dr. Falon Lucis was unscrupulous in not achieving the purpose of the experiment, he had to admit that he was indeed at the forefront of world science in his research in the field of biological sciences, reaching a top level that far exceeded the world's top level.
The project led by Falon is not just a xenogeneic limb transplant, but a link in a super scientific research plan sequence secretly studied by the World Government!
The big-headed son lay in bed for several days because of his weakness. He was not idle and carefully read all the data in the instruments, and gained a lot.
On this day, the two of them chatted.
Raymond talked about some future technological development ideas in the game, and he wanted to ask Lulu if it was possible to create the "artificial devil fruit" in the later stages of the game.
Lulu was surprised at Raymond's judgment and asked curiously: "Captain, how did you guess that Falon's research direction was ultimately to create an 'artificial devil fruit'?"
"Guess... I think those Stitch Monsters have some of the abilities of Warcraft. This effect is somewhat similar to those with 'Warcraft-type' Devil Fruit abilities."
Raymond responded casually.
In the later stages of the game, the "artificial devil fruit" plan has matured. Players can buy artificial fruits with various magical beast abilities sealed through major chambers of commerce. Although the price is high, the increase in strength is considerable.
The World Headquarters has earned immeasurable wealth from this business.
After all, Devil Fruit is a high-end and scarce resource that can only be found. Although the artificial fruit is much less effective and can only have "Warcraft-type" abilities, as long as you have money, everyone can buy one. For extraordinary people, The attraction is very big.
If it is successfully developed, whoever owns this technology will have an inexhaustible source of massive wealth!
"oh."
Lulu thought for a while and then said: "I carefully looked through the data saved in the instrument and it showed that Falon's ultimate goal in conducting research on alien limb transplantation is indeed for the 'Artificial Devil Fruit' project, and they already have one A major breakthrough... However, there is still a long way to go before the plan is completed."
The main research project of Falon's scientific research ship is obviously not to develop anti-viral serum. Spreading the virus in the Black Sea is only a small part of the plan.
Raymond asked expectantly: "Lulu, with these data, can you succeed in this 'Artificial Fruit Project'?"
"almost impossible!"
Lulu shook her head, dismissed Raymond's thoughts, and said: "The essence of this plan is to entangle the genes of specific abilities of Warcraft into the human genetic sequence without affecting human mutations or other uncontrollable changes. Judging from the experimental plan, this is a very large scientific research project. In addition to the secret base of Falon, the World Government must have set up many other large-scale experimental bases in other places, all of which are working day and night to overcome difficulties for this plan. The 'alien limb transplantation' technology is just an important part of it..."
"oh."
Raymond shrugged, obviously his idea of getting rich overnight had failed again.
"but..."
At this time, Lulu said again: "What surprised me most about Falon's experimental data was not that they created the Stitch Monster, nor the artificial fruit plan... but his crazy and strange idea. He actually planned to use corpses to splice them together." method, give the corpse a new soul, and then reverse the entire experiment... This gave me a lot of inspiration."
"ha?"
Raymond was a little confused after hearing this.
Lulu said: "The entire experimental process was clearly recorded on the instrument... Falon used the giant body to sew the limbs of more than seven kinds of monsters, but in the end the giant experimental body died. But the amazing thing is that they used He used a special method to give the corpse a new soul and make it come alive! This is not undead magic or fruit power, but a 'scientific miracle' that truly gives life to the corpse!"
"What's the meaning?"
Raymond felt a little dizzy.
"I have a guess. If there is a suitable active corpse and a complete soul, can the dead be resurrected... Can the new body restore the strength of the dead to life, or can it create new abilities..."
Lulu looked expectant, paused and then said: "This conjecture may be my research direction for a long time in the future."
"..."
These words sounded familiar to Raymond.
Why does Resurrection of the Dead sound a bit like Uncle Snake's [Reincarnation in the Dirty Land]? Sure enough, no matter which world, there are always mad scientists who like to engage in side research that leads to the same goal.
He didn't understand life sciences, but luckily Lulu didn't continue to talk in depth on this topic.
At this moment,
The big-headed son stared at Raymond and asked, "Captain, can I ask you to do me a small favor?"
When Raymond looked at that fanatical little look, he knew there was nothing good going on, and he said with guarded eyes, "What do you want to do?"
"First of all, to confirm this conjecture, we must start with research on living corpses..."
Lulu blinked, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and explained: "I got a lot of inspiration from Falon's experimental data... The reason why they chose to use giants to make suture monsters is because of a certain
The rejection and genetic isolation of heterogeneous limbs by some special bloodlines will be lower than that of ordinary people."
"so?"
After listening to half of the words, Raymond had a vague feeling of bad premonition.
Lulu: "As far as I know, bloodline compatibility is one of the best in the world..."
Raymond: "..."
Lulu looked at Raymond expectantly and asked: "How about, Captain, let me try it? Now that we have so much experimental reference data, and Captain, you have perfectly integrated the Ackermann virus, I am very interested in the experiment."
Very confident...for example, can I change your eye?"
"..."
Hearing this, Raymond's face twitched, and it was indeed true.
Seeing Lulu's fanatical expectation, he had no choice but to blame it and said: "Jiji has also perfectly integrated the Ackerman virus. You can find it and try it first..."
"Eh...right!"
The big-headed son's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this.
Hearing this, he seemed to suddenly lose interest in his captain. He excitedly rushed out of the cabin and looked for the unlucky monkey.
At the same time, a certain white-haired monkey who was eating in the kitchen on the ship seemed to be aware of it. It was startled and the fruit in its paws fell to the ground. It seemed to smell a hint of conspiracy, but when it looked around it was empty.
One person picked up the fruit doubtfully and gnawed it happily.
...
Nightmares and ghosts.
"The second ship test begins, sailing from test route No. 3, deep into the foggy area..."
"Speed is 20 knots, try a serpentine route, travel 1 nautical mile, record data as follows..."
"Everything is normal...the wind is from the southwest, there is a local level 7 storm, full right rudder, avoid the undercurrent..."
"The hull turned slightly, the speed was 17, and it encountered multiple undercurrents...the hull was out of control..."
"Damn it, why did the ocean current suddenly change again! Oh no, we hit the rocks again... Hurry, get on the lifeboat..."
"Ah...there are monsters in the sea water..."
"..."
The desperate screams from the phone bug were endless, sending chills down the spines of those who listened.
Not long after, there was another "gudong" sound of entering the water, and the communication signal was completely cut off.
At the same time, on the outskirts of the nightmare ghost fog, in a temporary base built on the rocks, a bearded man and a middle-aged man wearing a captain's hat looked at the slowly sinking exploration ship in the fog in the distance with pale faces.
"Hey... we failed again. We lost two ships today and only explored less than three nautical miles..."
"Olga, we have lost hundreds of ships in the past six months, and thousands of people have been trapped in this damn place. We have only explored such a depth. I am afraid that in the end we will all be trapped in it, and we may not be able to survive."
What to find..."
"Then what else can we do? The big man from the Endless Sea is not a kind-hearted person. If we dare to say no, our two regiments, the 'Blood Skull' and the 'War Flag', will be destroyed in an instant.
...Stop complaining and prepare for the next ship.”
"Hey... there have been too many plundered ships recently. Now that the news has spread, there are fewer and fewer ships passing through this area. If you want to capture new ships, you have to go to farther seas... If there are no new ships
Ship, that lord is afraid that he will ask us to pay for it with the lives of our brothers again..."
"..."
No one expected that the two overlord-level pirate groups in the Black Sea, which had been operating near this demonic place for more than half a year, were actually coerced to work here.
