Chapter 713: Stussy Who Can Suck Blood?!
Regarding the isolation of 'Truth' from the Alchemists within the World.
Im had indeed considered whether this would prevent Alchemists from using Alchemy in the World.
But he felt that even if they truly couldn't use Alchemy in the World, they could be sent to Other Worlds or return to the Imperial Arms World.
Although it would definitely be a bit troublesome, it wasn't impossible to utilize Alchemy.
Compared to that.
He still preferred not to let an existence of the level of 'Truth' cause trouble freely in his Base Camp.
Fortunately, looking at the current Situation, most of the Alchemists were not significantly affected, as they relied on the 'Power of Tectonic Movement' and the Knowledge within their own 'Gate of Truth'.
Although they didn't possess the powerful Ability of 'Stigma Alchemists' to freely convert 'Energy and Matter'.
But the effects of just 'Matter Restructuring' and 'Matter Modification' were already enough to help the World Government significantly.
As for Dean Isaac, the only one severely affected, it now seemed he could only be sent back to the Imperial Arms World. If his help was needed in the future, someone could be sent over then.
However, Vegapunk requested that Dean Isaac temporarily stay at the Academy of Science for a period.
He wanted to ask him to teach the Scientists, including himself, as Alchemy was simply too helpful for Scientific Research.
This was naturally not a problem.
Although Dean Isaac was not in a good mood, he agreed, considering it wasn't wise to offend the World Government.
"Lord Imu, the Energy Research Institute has confirmed the Construction Plan for the 'Raijin Island Power Generation Base'."
Inside the Noah's Ark, Stussy, who had returned from the Canberra Continent, continued to fulfill her Duty, narrating the Report Document sent by the Five Elders to Im in the Study Room.
Raijin Island was a terrifying Island located in the New World, where a large amount of Raiu fell every day.
In fact, it was because a Rumble-Rumble Fruit Ability User had used their Awakened Power there in the past.
Im, as a Transmigrator.
Naturally saw the Value of this Island at a glance: Infinite Electrical Energy!
So he secretly 'reminded' the Energy Research Institute, telling them to find a way to turn it into a large Power Generation station and provide Electric Power to Various Places in the World.
In a sense, once this 'Raijin Island Power Generation Base' was completed.
It could also be considered the fulfillment of Vegapunk's Dream of providing free Energy for everyone.
The difficulty lay in how to carry out the Project Construction there while enduring the almost twenty-four-hour non-stop Raiu strikes.
And also how to transmit the collected Electric Power to the tens of thousands of homes in Various Places in the World.
There were actually three Plans: Submarine Cable, Wireless Transmission, and Battery Storage.
Looking at the Energy Research Institute's Plan, they believed the most suitable way to utilize it currently was to manufacture Batteries of different models, allowing people to use Electrical Appliances by swapping Batteries.
The Climate and Ocean Currents on the Grand Line were simply too extreme and volatile, and there were far too many Large Creatures in the sea, making the Difficulty of laying Cables on the Seabed too great.
As for Wireless Transmission of Electric Power, they did not yet have this Technology.
"Not bad."
Im was very satisfied. After all, the Situation in different Worlds was different, so there definitely had to be some flexibility.
As for how to guarantee Battery capacity, that was something they needed to solve themselves. He and the World Government side only looked at the Result.
Stussy took out another Document.
"The Report from the Mechanics Research Institute states that they discovered a special High-Pressure Steam Engine from the 'Kabaneri World' called the 'McClatchy Mechanism'. When its Pressure is turned to the maximum, it can compress granular Pyrobroin Substance from the Seawater of the Sea Star Mainland."
"They believe that if it is optimized and improved to a certain extent, and its Scale is expanded, it is entirely possible to produce a large amount of Seastone."
Speaking of this, an Expression of surprise appeared on Stussy's face.
As a Clone of 'Miss Bakkin', she had spent some time in the 'MADS' Scientific Research team, which was led and organized by Vegapunk, and also included Judge, Queen, and others.
Therefore, she possessed excellent Scientific Knowledge.
She Understood very clearly that all the Seastone in the World currently were Minerals naturally formed over countless ages.
Among them, Wano Island had the largest Reserves.
Even so, the total amount of Seastone was still too scarce for the World Government.
Now, a Technology that could directly extract Seastone from Seawater had actually appeared. This was destined to bring huge Interests to the World Government.
"This is quite a Pleasant Surprise~"
Im raised an eyebrow, then a faint Smile appeared on his face.
Although as a Devil Fruit User, he should be wary of a Substance like Seastone, from the Stance of a World Government Ruler, the mass production of Seastone was something worth being happy about.
"Next is the Report from the Biochemical Research Institute. Dr. Zhuang Wei from the 'Kabaneri World' has successfully made the Demon Bloodline Factor from the 'Demon Slayer World' adapt to the High-Temperature Blood Environment within the Kabaneri's body."
"Although the Self-Healing Ability was greatly suppressed, it can still allow this type of Kabaneri, after having its 'Hardened Heart Membrane' stripped away, to regrow it within three hours just by providing enough Blood. Furthermore, their Cell Lifespan has also been greatly increased."
What did this mean?
It meant that in the future, there would basically be no need to 'Manufacture' Kabaneri anymore. The current Kabaneri would become a 'Sustainable Resource'.
Good news!
Although Im had heartlessly agreed to the Plan for artificially Manufacturing Kabaneri back then, it was done out of necessity when there was no alternative Plan.
Deep down, he actually still felt a bit uncomfortable, which was why he had intentionally ignored Matters in this area for the past few years.
"Heavily reward Dr. Zhuang Wei and award him the 'Sea Star Labor Hero Medal'!"
This was a Medal given to those who made outstanding contributions in non-Military fields such as Technology advancement, Economic Construction, and Military Logistics. Its Rank was equivalent to the 'Sea Star Combat Hero Medal' from the Military.
Im believed that Dr. Zhuang Wei's Scientific Research Result.
Was worthy of a Medal Commendation, whether considered from the perspective of Value or Human Path.
"The final one is the Report from Dean Kureha of the Medical Academy. Dean Kureha has confirmed that Alchemy can convert Lead-Platinum into Minerals that are easily absorbed by the Human Body."
Stussy was somewhat unable to Understand what this meant.
Why would Lead-Platinum be converted into something that could be absorbed by the Human Body?
Because the Truth about the Amber Lead Disease in 'White Town' was a Confidential Matter of the Highest Level. Even she, if she didn't specifically investigate, would not be able to know.
"Is that so? It seems it's time to resolve this Hidden Danger," Im murmured softly with deep meaning.
He had previously thought that if absolutely necessary, he would personally go to 'White Town'. Now that his subordinates had the Ability to handle it, he might as well let them do it.
"Speaking of which, how old is Law now? This Kid has good Talent. He'd be good whether trained as a Doctor or an Agent..."
Perhaps because he had 'taken' the other party's Op-Op Fruit, Im was thinking of compensating him in other ways.
"Oh, right. This is for you. Take it."
Just as Stussy was about to take her leave, Im called out to stop her, then teleported a small vermilion box in front of her.
"Huh?"
"Is... is this a gift for me?"
Stussy thought the box contained some kind of jewelry, and immediately speculated in her Heart whether Lord Imu had feelings for her.
"Ahem, open it and take a look."
Im was a bit speechless after hearing her Inner Voice.
"Yes!"
Stussy excitedly lifted the lid of the box, only to find a pair of strange teeth inside.
This made her Expression turn strange. She thought to herself, *Is this Lord Imu's Style of giving gifts?*
"That is a Tooth-Type Imperial Arm called 'Blood Collection'. When installed in the mouth, it allows the user to gain Rapid Self-Healing, recover Stamina, enhance Physical Ability, and maintain youth by sucking others' Blood."
Im stopped listening to her embarrassing Inner Voice and said calmly, "I think it should be very suitable for you. Try to see if you can gain its recognition."
He didn't know why, but in the depths of his being, he always felt that Stussy should possess the Ability to suck Blood.
Strange.
Why was that?
