Chapter 635 Gaia + Monica =?
Xius rubbed his eyes, looked at the charred and broken target in the distance, and fell into deep thought.
What was he doing here?
Didn’t Gaia just come to her office yesterday? Why did she take out this thing today?
Have I traveled through time again?
"Let me sort this out, Gaia. You just came to my office yesterday and applied to join the diplomatic mission to the Mechanical Temple. Are you planning to find a way to rescue Chloe?"
"right!"
"And you didn't even spend a moment mourning Chloe, and then you turned around and invented a magnetic storm coil for me?"
"Hmm, why is it magnetism? Wasn't that lightning that just fell?"
"Magnetism and electricity are basically the same thing. Wait, don't talk about anything else. How did you come up with this in just one night?"
"Oh, you're talking about that. I recruited a group of new researchers overnight, and this lightning rod is actually part of my technical reserves, so it seems like it was produced quickly. In fact, it was all prepared long ago."
"Really?" This statement was barely acceptable, but Zeus inexplicably felt something was wrong.
He looked around suspiciously, his gaze suddenly fixed on a figure who was trying to quietly retreat behind the crowd.
"Monica!!!"
The petite banshee was suddenly discovered and she shuddered, freezing in place with the tip of her tail stretched straight.
After a moment, she forced a smile and slowly turned around:
"My Lord, I am a serious researcher. All the projects I applied for were submitted through formal channels. How could you doubt me?"
Hughes narrowed his eyes.
Monica may be a serious researcher, but it is unlikely that Monica will do serious research.
"Then let me ask you, have you applied for this project? Have you written the proposal? Have you done the feasibility analysis? Since you say you're serious, let me see where your seriousness lies."
When you see a cockroach in a room, there is probably an entire cockroach empire in the corner.
When Monica is seen at the test site, even the toilet might explode.
Gaia and Monica looked at each other and then looked away guiltily.
"Tell me, where did all this 'reserve technology' come from?"
A few hours later.
In the Cathedral of Castel, in Hughes' office, the table was littered with all kinds of materials. Hughes sat behind the desk, rubbing his eyebrows with a look of headache.
"Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
Gaia and Monica quickly shook their heads: "No more, really no more!"
After a moment, Monica muttered softly, "I-we just want to save Chloe."
Hughes looked at the mountain of experimental materials before him and sighed. "I see you're not trying to save them, you're trying to make them alive—look at this? 'More Efficient Industrialized Coyote Breeding Methods'?"
"Well, there aren't enough coyotes on the island right now. I thought we could use assembly-line breeding methods to speed up their reproduction and break through natural limits."
"So you designed it to line up the coyotes in a row, chaining them from front to back, and only feed the first one?"
"It's highly efficient, isn't it? It's a bit inhumane, but it's a necessary sacrifice." Monica folded her arms. "Besides, wolves eat everything. I came up with this plan after studying their nature."
"..." Hughes's eye twitched. "Okay, let's not talk about the coyotes. What the hell is this plan? 'New Type of Fishery Farming'? You're going to set aside a patch of ocean water to raise fish? Using pollution to raise fish?"
"Oh, this one is inspired by the fact that polluted plants produce better harvests, and it's a breakthrough in introducing pollution into the sea to improve fisheries."
"Really?" Xiu Si sneered. "Then what about the fish you raised? Take them out and let me see them."
Pollution has strange effects on living things.
For fish, after being polluted, various mutated traits will appear, with uncertain directions and degrees, highlighting the randomness.
As for creatures and plants on land, pollution often makes them larger and grow faster, making them more stable overall.
Although the specific reason is unknown, most of the pollution on Zeus' side comes from the sea god, so there must be some connection between them.
After all, legend has it that all creatures in the sea are transformed from the flesh of the sea god.
Xiusike still remembers the monsters in the abyss. Those were the "fish" under high concentration of pollution.
"Don't worry, even though those fish have turned into monsters, I've done some research and found that they're basically edible."
No, you really eat it?
And what does "basically" mean? Are there any foods you can't eat?
Monica also realized the inappropriateness of her words, and she quickly added: "But I also have a way to solve these problems. I added electricity to the water!"
"?"
"You should know that living things can mutate when exposed to electricity, right?"
Zeus nodded. The electricity in this world seemed to contain some distorted power. If used alone without purification, it would cause a certain degree of mutation in living things.
Castel had done experiments before, where he passed electricity through living things and they all showed mutations in different directions.
When the power system is improved in the future, we can see if there is any difference between different types of electricity.
For example, is thermal power more aggressive, hydropower more gentle, wind power more flexible, and nuclear power... well...
In short, the electricity in this world is somewhat similar to radiation, but it is an enhanced version that will cause organisms to mutate rapidly.
"My Lord, after discovering the properties of electricity, I thought, feeding fish pollution will cause them to mutate, and giving them electricity will also cause them to mutate. So, what will happen if I feed them pollution and electricity at the same time?"
“???”
Xius was completely shocked. Apart from anything else, Monica was indeed a good candidate for research.
Her thinking is very wild.
The main question now is whether Castel can withstand her torment.
"Then I discovered that these fish weren't mutating that much anymore. Most of them were becoming like the polluted plants, only growing larger."
"That's a good thing, right? Doesn't this mean our fisheries can also have stable output like agriculture?"
Just as Xiu Si was about to be happy, he saw Monica's wandering eyes and guilty look, and his heart skipped a beat.
He narrowed his eyes. "Wait, you said most? So there are some that aren't just getting bigger?"
"Yes, yes, the quantity is very small and does not affect the overall output. Moreover, our meat-to-feed ratio has exceeded 3,000, which is very good."
"How many?!"
