Chapter 1336: Wonderful! Imu's Surprise! (Two-in-One)

Cain's idea of making the entire 'Beast God World' into 'Pseudo-Divine Weapon' users was something Lord Imu was currently unaware of. However, even if he knew, his attitude would likely be supportive.

This was because, firstly, the 'Beast God World' would become a major source of troops for the World Government.

Secondly, it could serve as a social experiment for the World Government, to see whether this development towards universal extraordinary powers was more beneficial or detrimental.

After all, in Lord Imu's heart, the Sea Star Mainland would also gradually develop towards 'Universal Extraordinary'.

Of course, the types of extraordinary powers on Sea Star would not be limited to just 'Pseudo-Divine Weapon'.

At this moment.

Lord Imu was in his study room, taking a call from the 'Science Defense Warrior God', Marcus Mars Saint.

A golden Pure Gold Den Den Mushi sat on the tabletop.

Marcus Mars Saint was respectfully reporting on the various important recent developments.

Lord Imu merely listened to the initial content, not paying too much attention.

It wasn't until the other party mentioned that Doctor Stylish was responsible for developing the 'Claw-Type Assault Drop Pod', that a 'Technology Verification Pod' had been manufactured, and that three rounds of testing had been conducted yesterday with very successful results, that Lord Imu became interested.

He casually summoned a 3D image of the test site in front of him.

Meanwhile, the Pure Gold Den Den Mushi continued to explain in a deep voice:

"Lord Imu, this 'Claw-Type Assault Drop Pod' is indeed as Doctor Stylish said. It can not only serve as a transport vehicle dropped from space orbit to the ground, but also as an assault weapon to attack outer space warships from the planet surface."

"Furthermore, experiments showed that its equipped 'Flash Emitter' is sufficient to penetrate the warship armor of space pirates."

"If it also carries an 'Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb', it can completely paralyze them, allowing the internal troops to smoothly enter the ship and carry out their operation."

Lord Imu nodded: "What about the disadvantages?"

He knew well that nothing could only have advantages.

"Reporting to Lord Imu, its disadvantages are that it is too fragile and lacked sufficient turning capability, making it difficult to break through the close-in firepower of space warships."

Marcus Mars Saint on the other end did not conceal anything, answering Lord Imu truthfully.

"In addition, according to the verbal accounts and memories of the captured space pirates."

"The Galactic Empire has mastered the 'Directional Electromagnetic Field Shield' technology, which they call the 'Galaxy Shield'."

"However, only the military's warships are equipped with it. Based on this, it can be inferred that the other Cosmic Federation likely has similar technology."

"Therefore, even if our 'Claw-Type Assault Drop Pod' breaks through the warship's close-in firepower on the battlefield, it will likely be blocked by their 'protective shield'."

Upon hearing this, Lord Imu frowned slightly. These two were indeed major problems.

Especially the 'Directional Electromagnetic Field Shield'.

Since only the Galactic Empire's military had mastered it, the warships of the space pirates captured by the World Government certainly wouldn't have this kind of thing.

This meant that the Academy of Science couldn't even reverse engineer it.

However, upon careful thought, it seemed it wasn't strictly necessary to use the opponent's technology.

Lord Imu felt that they could completely develop this 'protective shield' themselves!

For example, using Devil Fruit abilities.

Among his Giant God Soldier Guard, there was a Guardian Giant Cassi who had eaten the Paramecia-type Barrier-Barrier Fruit.

Since Vegapunk could make Conqueror release Kizaru's light beam.

Then he should also be able to give the 'Claw-Type Assault Drop Pod' the ability to generate a 'barrier'.

It's just that Conqueror seems to require a human heart, which looks somewhat evil.

However, Artificial Hearts could be used, and if Artificial Hearts didn't work, then Kabaneri's hearts could be used.

Immediately, Lord Imu told Marcus Mars Saint his idea.

"Lord Imu is wise!"

"We are dull-witted, to have not thought of such a method!"

Marcus Mars Saint quickly praised him, a look of pleasant surprise on his face.

However, he was secretly relieved in his heart.

He had been wondering how to bring up this matter, but unexpectedly, Lord Imu brought it up himself.

After all, Guardian Giant is a Giant God Soldier.

Getting him to regularly provide blood to the Academy of Science would definitely require Lord Imu's agreement.

Moreover, the 'Claw-Type Assault Drop Pod' was destined to win by quantity, and the amount of blood consumed would certainly be enormous.

Fortunately, Cassi is from the Giant Tribe. If it were a normal human, they definitely couldn't bear it.

As for the idea of cloning ability user's blood and ensuring the ability exists, the Biochemical Research Institute had naturally tried it.

But as of now, it has ended in failure, so currently, they can only use the original blood of Devil Fruit users.

In fact, Marcus Mars Saint had also made a backup plan.

That was, if Lord Imu disagreed.

Then they would find a way to have mages write 'Reflection Shield' magic runes on the 'Claw-Type Assault Drop Pod', using Wind Stone as energy.

However, this method was extremely inefficient and would be difficult to support the upcoming space war.

Subordinates had also experimented with using machines to engrave magic runes, but no matter how standard the engraving was, it simply couldn't produce magic effects.

The Magic Association researched it and finally gave the explanation: 'When machines engrave magic runes, they do not input will and spirit like mages do. Without these, magic runes are no longer magic runes, but ordinary writing.'

But Lindbergh, who had just joined the Academy of Science, felt that this was merely because the technical level had not yet been reached.

Since mages could artificially manufacture various magic items.

Then one day, it would be possible to achieve the scene of using machinery to rapidly engrave magic runes on various things.

Achieving the scene of large-scale mass production of magic items.

Marcus Mars Saint felt this principle made a lot of sense.

He immediately ordered the Magic Association to gather mages skilled in manufacturing magic items, and established the 'Magitech Research Institute' within the Academy of Science, specifically to research magitech that could mass produce magic items.

Joseph, the current president of the Magic Association, could only comply with the order.

He appointed Bithashar, from the Familiar of Zero World, one of the former Three Governors of the Nevarthes Elf Kingdom, and now also the Magic Association vice president, as the dean of the Magitech Research Institute.

Then he appointed Sage Magnus, from the Falmart World, the former Rondel City mayor, and now a Magic Association vice president, as the vice dean of the Magitech Research Institute.

Although both were vice presidents.

Bithashar had not only joined the World Government earlier, but was also much older than Sage Magnus.

Don't let Sage Magnus's appearance fool you; he looks old and frail, but he is also seventy years old.

However, Bithashar, being from the Nephtys Elf Race of the Familiar of Zero World, naturally has twice the lifespan of humans, and he is already 134 years old this year.

At the same time, Bithashar is also the inventor of the Level 4 Clay Doll Jörmungandr and Fire Stone.

So, in all aspects, Bithashar is more suitable to be the dean than Magnus.

However, Sage Magnus's strength is indeed greater.

It's just that the Magitech Research Institute doesn't need combat power, but rather research and development capability.

Besides this.

Among the first batch of members of the Magitech Research Institute was Vallière.

Her full name is Éléonore Albertine Le Du La Vallière.

She is from the Familiar of Zero World, a researcher and chairman of the Earth Department of the former Tristain Kingdom Academy Council, skilled in researching and developing Earth magic items.

She is also Louise's eldest sister.

There is also Charlotte Hélène Orléans, under the alias Tabitha.

And Albegeo E. Lena, from the Falmart World, a student of Sage Mimochaza, skilled in mineral magic.

Speaking of Lelei, she originally wanted her younger sister Lelei to join as well, so she could bring her to live on Sea Star.

But Lelei refused, citing "Vengeance for Killing Master cannot be forgotten".

Indeed, her master, Cato, died at the hands of Ay, the Lightning Minister of the Sea Ninja Village.

Therefore, Lelei would rather remain living alone in the Titan World than work for the World Government.

Unless Ay, who killed her master, dies someday.

And Lord Imu also felt that the Magitech Research Institute was a very good idea.

He immediately issued an order for Brimir of the Star God Hall to serve as the Honorary Dean, assisting them in researching and developing magitech.

Matters concerning the 'Claw-Type Assault Drop Pod' came to an end for now.

Next, once the design is finalized, it can enter the mass production stage.

Then, they will be gradually deployed on Saturn, Jupiter, the Moon, and other celestial bodies surrounding Sea Star, to guard against invasion by cosmic forces from outside the galaxy.

During this time, the Academy of Science will seize the time to continuously improve the various functions of the 'Claw-Type Assault Drop Pod'.

At the same time, Kong, Sengoku, Zephyr, Raimon, and other Military High Command members must also conduct a series of tactical discussions centered around the 'Claw-Type Assault Drop Pod', anticipating any possibility in future war.

At this point, the Pure Gold Den Den Mushi imitated Marcus Mars Saint's expression and tone, continuing to report on important matters in the field of scientific research to Lord Imu.

"Lord Imu, Vegapunk has reported that they have discovered that the 'Quasi-Divine Soldier Manufacturing Technology' has a significant improvement effect on the 'Artificial Zoan Devil Fruit Technology'."

Lord Imu raised an eyebrow and asked curiously: "How significant?"

"Vegapunk's report mentioned that originally, the cost of one artificial Zoan Human-Human Fruit, Normal class, was about 40 million Berry (originally 800 million Berry), and the time required was nearly a month."

"But now, Vegapunk estimates that the cost of one Zoan Human-Human Fruit, Normal class, can be reduced to 20 million Berry, and the time required can be reduced to ten to fifteen days."

Lord Imu immediately showed a happy expression.

A Zoan-type Devil Fruit could be manufactured in just over ten days?

That meant two could be produced in a month!

As for the cost, he didn't care too much.

However, even 20 million Berry was far higher than the market price of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit.

One must know that a natural Zoan Devil Fruit, Normal class.

On the outside, it would cost at least 4.85 million Berry, which was 100 million Berry previously.

This was equivalent to five natural Devil Fruits being worth one artificial Devil Fruit.

But the advantage of artificial Devil Fruits is that they can be mass produced.

Whereas there can only ever be one natural Devil Fruit.

As for whether there are other differences between the two, even Vegapunk doesn't know at the moment.

Lord Imu, this transmigrator, was the same.

However, judging from the performance of Momonosuke's Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit in the canon.

Aside from the color, there really didn't seem to be any difference.

If this is the case, then artificial Devil Fruits will definitely become the mainstream in the future.

"Can it only be Normal class?"

Lord Imu asked again, the implication being whether Mythical Zoans were possible!

"Reporting to Lord Imu, according to Vegapunk, there is no difference between Normal class and Ancient Zoan, but the artificial technology for Mythical Zoan is still under research."

Upon hearing this, Lord Imu was a little disappointed. In his eyes, among Animal System Devil Fruits, only Mythical Zoans were worth his importance.

"However, Vegapunk also said that they can use the lineage factor extracted from Pseudo-Divine Weapon to manufacture Zoan-type Devil Fruits in the Quasi-Divine Soldier Form."

"At the same time, the Academy of Science will classify these Pseudo-Divine Weapon Devil Fruits into the Danger Beast category, according to your previous instruction."

"Good."

Lord Imu nodded in agreement.

Previously, because he discovered that the Titan World had Zoan-type Devil Fruits in the Armored Titan Form.

He had ordered the addition of a Danger Beast category to the existing three major categories of Animal System.

The so-called 'Danger Beast' refers to Zoan-type Devil Fruits based on creatures that have a certain extraordinary power but do not reach the Mythical level.

Taking the Danger Beasts of the Empire Arms World as an example.

Zoan-type Devil Fruits manufactured using the lineage factor of Super Dangerous Beasts are regarded as Mythical Zoan.

However, Zoan-type Devil Fruits based on other Special Grade, Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3 Danger Beasts will be regarded as Danger Beast.

So, if the Academy of Science really manufactures Zoan-type Devil Fruits in the Quasi-Divine Soldier Form.

They will certainly also be classified into the Danger Beast category.

"Im remembers that the Normal class Human-Human Fruit also has the effect of improving physical ability and intelligence."

"Yes, but the effect is not as good as Sengoku's Great Buddha Fruit."

Lord Imu thought for a moment and said: "Since that is the case, then prioritize providing the artificial Human-Human Fruit to the researchers of the Academy of Science."

"Yes, we respectfully obey your Imperial Will!"

After respectfully agreeing, Marcus Mars Saint thought to himself, he really hadn't thought of this point.

Scientists, who are already more intelligent than most people.

If they eat the Human-Human Fruit, their intelligence should rapidly reach the Extraordinary level.

This reminded him of Einstein and Tesla at the Academy of Science.

"Also, the cost of 20 million Berry is still too high."

"Tell Vegapunk that the final cost of the Human-Human Fruit needs to be below 1 million Berry."

Lord Imu finally mentioned this matter.

Because he hoped that in the future, the majority of the Sea Star populace would also be able to afford Devil Fruits.

Ideally, there would be places like 'Devil Fruit Shop' on the streets.

Where wealthier parents could bring their children, talking and laughing while choosing Devil Fruits inside.

And Imperial Arms Shop, Magitech Shop, Ninja Tool Shop, Magical Creature Shop, and so on and so forth.

These were the scenes Lord Imu hoped to see.

1 million Berry?

Marcus Mars Saint didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Wouldn't Devil Fruits truly become 'dirt cheap' then?

How could this be possible?

But he could only respectfully agree. After all, the person actually responsible was Vegapunk.

Ending the call, Lord Imu's work for the day was considered finished.

He stood up, preparing to go to the Star Pressure Palace to continue training his body.

Because as a Sea Star person, no matter how many magical abilities they possess, they would never neglect the improvement of their physical ability.

But unexpectedly, the Pure Gold Den Den Mushi started calling again.

Helplessly, Lord Imu could only pick up the handset from a distance to answer.

He found it was the 'Intelligence Special Affairs Martial God' Shepherd Ten Peter Saint, who was in charge of Cipher Pol, calling.

"Reporting to Lord Imu, we have thought of a method to send people to infiltrate the Galactic Empire's sphere of influence in advance and gather more intelligence!"

"Oh?!"

Lord Imu was extremely surprised, thinking to himself, could it be sending Cipher Pol personnel to board the repaired spaceships in advance and enter the Galactic Empire's Star Field?

If the captured space pirates were to lead the way, it did seem to have a certain feasibility.

But when Lord Imu finished listening to Peter Saint's explanation, he suddenly exclaimed in his heart: "Wonderful!"

They truly were a group of talented people.

Thank you very much for the 100 Qidian Coin Tip from 'a good child who wants to be a good child'! Bow! Thank you for your support and encouragement!

Thank you very much for the 100 Qidian Coin Tip from 'I want to try'! Bow! Thank you for your support and encouragement!
