Capítulo 36: 36 A Research Dog?
The Okazaki Laboratory.
"It's done."
Wearing a white lab coat, Roy walked out of the room holding a test tube, gently swaying it under the light. Inside was a substance that seemed to sparkle like stars.
Yawning, Yumemi Okazaki, also clad in a white lab coat, stretched.
"Finally finished. I've never been this much of a research dog before. Back in college, with the national sponsorship to establish a project team, I used to propose conceptual theories and directions, and then had a bunch of lab dogs under me conduct experiments according to my ideas, followed by another group of application dogs for scale-up applications. At most, I'd only oversee the most core, crucial experiments."
"Is that really how it was?"
"You're a researcher now, but you weren't before, so you haven't experienced it. Whether it's the development of basic scientific theory or the research and development of applied technology, its essence is continuous trial and error, much like drawing gacha. Each draw requires money and involves repetitive, mundane work, with no guarantee of results. It would be a waste of time to get personally involved in everything." Yumemi Okazaki stretched lazily. "Although I don't dislike it, I can't say I'm extremely passionate about it. Even the most boring, mundane tasks can be enjoyable."
Roy chuckled. "Then why are you willing to accompany me? Shouldn't I say thank you?"
Yumemi Okazaki also smiled, wrapping her arm around Roy's waist. "If you want to thank me, I don't accept verbal thanks... Oh my, you're blushing. Let me see."
"Don't tease."
Brushing off the mischievous hand of the female rogue, Roy placed the test tube on the prepared container.
Some time had passed since visiting Dr. Kuseno.
After absorbing and understanding the knowledge and technology from Genus, Kuseno, and Yumemi Okazaki, Roy embarked on climbing higher peaks.
But Roy didn't have a laboratory.
He was used to freeload.
So he stayed at Yumemi Okazaki's house, not having returned to Z City for a while.
And it was fine.
So fine that Roy wanted to say, "It's really nice, being taken care of by a beautiful girl."
Of course, it wasn't possible to expect Yumemi Okazaki to become a docile and gentle housewife who would serve Roy like that. She didn't have that talent or that personality.
As the youngest jenius doctor in her time, and someone challenging unified theory, she was truly an independent, strong woman.
Although she still dated, it was unlikely she'd marry and become a good wife and mother.
Rushing to the pinnacle of modern physics was more likely.
No, if the person she currently had her eye on really got together with her, it would be eight or nine times out of ten like that.
But life had to go on.
To deal with this dilemma, the Childcare Robot was invented... well, Roy provided the materials, and Yumemi Okazaki made the robot. With Dr. Kuseno's technology, making robots wasn't a problem for Roy, but he couldn't help but stuff some strange gadgets into the robots he made.
Like drills, high-energy beam weapons, iron curtain force fields, and hyperspace teleportation, and so on.
But let's not talk about that.
His main research project had always been clear.
That was The Analysis and Application of Dark Matter.
And the technology from Yumemi Okazaki, Genus, and Kuseno offered three ways of application.
Firstly, the production of gadgets.
If he were to become a servant in the Type-Moon world, his inherent skill set would definitely include [Gadget Creation: EX.]
For him, the difficulty of making any modern tool could only be considered simple.
He didn't even need overly complex calculations, naturally, he could make them.
Similar to the ability of a certain sit-up athlete, once a gadget was made by him, it would be stored in a form similar to muscle memory, making the second production simple and fast.
With Roy going all out, he would truly be a mobile arsenal next-gen version.
However, just as alchemists pursue the Philosopher's Stone, Roy was also pursuing Full Metal. With this unfinished state, it couldn't be said that he had reached the pinnacle in this regard.
From the current progress, Full Metal was actually the most ideal application state for Dark Matter.
Secondly, the gene lock.
Its completion rate wasn't high, it could only achieve some superficial effects.
Finally, the third application, which was what Roy was currently working on.
However, it could also be considered something complementary to the second application.
"Is this cyborg technology?" Yumemi Okazaki examined the test tube in front of her. "It's somewhat different from what I expected."
"Because it's not about turning humans into machines, but rather implanting nanomachines." Roy explained. "Additionally, the nanomachines in the test tube have components similar to carbohydrates, which are the building blocks of the human body. After injection, they circulate in the bloodstream and metabolism, reaching the whole body within 4 to 6 hours, merging with cells to become pseudo-organelles, and start working normally."
"And what are the effects?"
"I've experimented with Genos... although it was the robotic version, the functionality is theoretically similar. Um... it should be. But that's not the point. Essentially, even an ordinary person injected with these nanomachines should be able to obtain strength rivaling that of a Demon-level threat or higher."
He sighed again.
"Unfortunately, neither you nor any other doctor has the technology of a 'perpetual motion machine,' otherwise we could achieve the strength of a Dragon or even a God."
"Well... there might be a chance. After all, we're travelers who can traverse boundless oceans. Just like on this island we found new interesting things, maybe on the next islands, there exists the technology of a perpetual motion machine." Yumemi Okazaki smiled and said to Roy, "Don't you think so?"
"I don't need it. At least not this version."
"That's true. But how will you handle this?"
"Perhaps someone else will need it."
This technology, in essence, was about replicating one's own physique onto others.
But it would be more flexible than his current physique.
Because these nanomachines were also computers, once they received brain waves from the human body, they would perform tasks with extremely high efficiency.
People who underwent this technology to become cyborgs were somewhat like Androids 17 and 18 in Dragon Ball.
So Roy couldn't help but lament the lack of perpetual motion machine technology.
This was also a kind of experiment for Roy.
Directly allowing Dark Matter to simulate extremely complex and precise objects within the body was still too much of a stretch.
After all, human capabilities had limits.
But he didn't have the idea of creating an army of androids either.
The reason for making this thing was partly because the mountain is there, and partly because it allowed for objective observation.
...Speaking of which, was he gradually evolving into a research dog?
"Finding suitable subjects for injection to observe the specific effects requires further development. After all, we can't replicate the gene lock technology, and the function of the autonomous counterattack system... um, what we can call the Freedom and Ease System. hasn't been added."
"You think about a lot of things."
"Yeah, I think it's called firepower phobia... But let's not dwell on that. It's been a few days, and I should go back and check on things."
"Why don't you just stay here?"
"Hehe, even if I want to move, don't I need to deal with my original stuff first?"
Just as Roy stood up, an earthquake suddenly struck.
