# Chapter 691: Vegapunk's Astonishing Invention!
Egghead.
A winter island located in the New World.
For Vegapunk, this was not only his home but also his private Research Institute.
Meanwhile, Punk Hazard, where the Academy of Science was located, was his workplace.
In fact, the Researchers at the Academy of Science were quite puzzled.
Why didn't he just settle down on Punk Hazard?
That way, he wouldn't need to travel back and forth between the two islands frequently, saving a lot of Time.
However, Vegapunk was the Dean after all, and he possessed Scientific Research Capability far exceeding everyone else's.
So, although they didn't understand, no one said anything.
As for Vegapunk himself.
He wanted to try and change the Climate of Egghead Island using purely 'Technology' as a Means.
Because the current 'Future Kingdom' Baltigo only guaranteed a warm indoor Environment, while outside, fierce Blizzards still raged every day.
He also didn't want Kizaru to use his Awakening to make the entire Island lose its perpetual night.
So, as a Scientist, he firmly believed that only Technology could perfectly solve all problems.
However, because this Plan had only just begun.
Compared to how Egghead would look more than twenty years later in the Canon.
Its overall appearance was much more primitive, and the sense of Future Technology wasn't as strong.
It looked like just an ordinary Winter Island with a giant egg-shaped mountain standing amidst the Wind and Snow.
"Incredible Wisdom! The Materials for this 'Judgment of the Ten Kings' System have actually achieved the Effect of 'Shape Memory Alloy'!"
"His World doesn't have Devil Fruits, so what he utilized must be the Lineage Factor of certain Danger Beasts. This indicates he also has a certain Understanding of the 'Blueprint of Life'!"
Vegapunk sat on a tall silver stool, his long, thick tongue sticking out of his mouth.
As his two extremely slender legs swung back and forth, he looked at the Data about a person in his hand with a face full of Excitement.
"A Genius who has delved into multiple Domains such as Biochemical, Machinery, Energy, Materials, Medicine, Information, etc., and also possesses extremely strong practical Ability!"
"Crucially, he's only thirty-five years old, right in the age range with the highest Scientific Research peak. He should be able to understand my thinking and help me!"
What Vegapunk was looking at was the personal Data of Doctor Stylish, the former Minister of the Science Department of The Empire in the Imperial Arms World.
This was a person born in a World almost identical to ancient Society.
Yet, he could incredibly develop...
Automatic Rifles, Cannons, Rocket Launchers, Ballistic Missiles, Radar, Mechanical Prosthetics, Cyborgs, Shape Memory Alloy, High-Explosive Plasma Bombs, and other creations.
A 'Super Genius Scientist' who single-handedly elevated The Empire's Weapons to a 'Modern', or even 'Future' level.
Doctor Stylish's goal was to use Technology to develop Weapons no less powerful than Imperial Arms!
And, he did indeed succeed.
Such a person made Vegapunk, who had always been troubled by no one being able to understand his Scientific Research mindset, leading him to work frantically alone most of the Time, feel genuine Delight and anticipation.
Because only an all-rounder Scientist who could understand 'Black Technology' could help him.
"I knew it, in those Infinite Worlds, there must exist many astonishing and brilliant Researchers, perhaps even existences that I cannot hope to reach."
Just as Vegapunk was muttering to himself, the Door of this Studio was gently knocked upon.
Immediately after.
A figure in white, estimated to be only about one meter tall, wearing a yellow Helmet, with a reddish-brown seashell-shaped Beard on its mouth, and a pair of White Wings on its back, pushed the Door open and entered.
"Doctor, the World Government has sent the Brain-Brain Fruit."
As it spoke, another short figure with an identical appearance walked in behind it, holding a square white box in its hands.
"Excellent!"
Vegapunk was instantly overjoyed. He quickly jumped down from his chair and then instructed, "Hurry and bring my 'Super Den Den Mushi' over!"
"Yes, Doctor."
The Lunar Robot that opened the Door answered and then turned to leave.
The other Automaton lightly jumped and placed the box on the experimental table. Vegapunk didn't pay attention to its departing figure and immediately lifted the lid of the box.
Instantly.
He saw inside a Human Brain with a surface full of uneven wrinkles and black spiral Markings.
To be honest, most people seeing this strange Thing would never think it was some kind of Fruit; instead, they would feel disgusted.
However, Vegapunk looked at it with a Gaze full of appreciation.
Not long after.
Four Automatons holding Spears led in a large, automatically walking Den Den Mushi with black and white markings.
"Alright, you can go out first."
Vegapunk waved his hand, dismissing the Moon Robot he had brought home.
However, because there were so many of them, most remained on Punk Hazard's side, with only about a hundred here on Egghead.
After they left and closed the Door.
Vegapunk took the Brain-Brain Fruit out of the box and handed it to this 'Super Den Den Mushi', which possessed the Abilities of all known Den Den Mushi types.
It was certainly not a natural product but an artificial one manufactured by him using Biochemical Technology Means.
"Come, eat it quickly!"
Vegapunk gave the Den Den Mushi the Order.
"Purururu."
The Den Den Mushi stared at the Brain-Brain Fruit in front of it with a pair of round Eyes, and finally obeyed the Order, biting off an Edge of the 'Brain' and chewing.
"Ugh----"
But the next second, it made a pained expression as if it wanted to vomit. It seemed even Den Den Mushi found Devil Fruits unpalatable.
"Good, so obedient!"
Vegapunk, meanwhile, put away the Brain-Brain Fruit, which still had most of it left.
With his Research on Devil Fruits, he understood clearly that this Thing indeed only needed one bite to grant the Ability; the rest was truly just an extremely unpalatable Fruit.
But why make this special Den Den Mushi eat the Brain-Brain Fruit?
Suddenly.
While the Den Den Mushi hadn't recovered from the unpleasant taste, Vegapunk suddenly extended his thick, pink tongue, wrapped it around the Den Den Mushi, and directly swallowed it into his abnormally large mouth.
Then, he made a forceful swallowing motion, actually eating the Den Den Mushi, which was slightly larger than himself, into his stomach!
This wasn't the end.
His entire Body began to writhe violently, and in the blink of an eye, a black and white snail shell grew on his back, and his Eyes became even rounder than before.
"Phew----"
Vegapunk let out a sigh of relief. When he swallowed it just now, he actually felt a wave of nausea himself.
But in order to create a Platform that would allow people all over the Whole World to freely read and upload various types of Knowledge, he had to hold his nose and do this Matter.
His idea was to have a Super Den Den Mushi with the Abilities of all Den Den Mushi eat the Brain-Brain Fruit to possess Infinite Brain capacity, in order to store the Infinite Knowledge and Information of the Future.
And the Den Den Mushi itself possessed a certain degree of Intelligence. It could fully utilize another Ability of the Brain-Brain Fruit, its incredibly fast Brain thinking and processing Speed, to effectively manage the Knowledge and Information in its Brain.
Furthermore, the Den Den Mushi itself had the Ability to use Bio-electric Waves as a transmission medium.
They not only had their own unique electric wave channels but also a public channel that could serve as 'Public Information Waves', and every Den Den Mushi was a Base Station that allowed Information to spread.
In addition, they could project Virtual Images, transmit instant Sound...
What would all of this combined be?
A Virtual Reality Library and Virtual Communication Space built on the foundation of the Den Den Mushi swarm.
Its Core Server and Artificial Intelligence was the Super Den Den Mushi with the Brain-Brain Fruit Ability that Vegapunk had just eaten!
However, he wasn't satisfied with just this.
Next, he also had to find a Method to create something that would allow others to upload their Knowledge and ideas remotely.
"First, I need to upload all of my own Knowledge..."
Incredible, Vegapunk actually started doing just that.
He unreservedly stored his Wisdom and Knowledge into the Brain of the Den Den Mushi inside him, and decided that in the Future, if he had new Knowledge and ideas, he would continuously upload them.
But even Vegapunk himself didn't seem to realize just how terrifying the Potential of the Thing he had created was.
He only thought he had created a Library that made it convenient for everyone to exchange Knowledge remotely.
