Chapter 158: Waking The Cloned Neural Brain Up!
“Charger?”
Raymond was shocked!
He had always liked to play with electrical energy.
Be it an engine, a laser cutter, a s.h.i.+eld generator…
Raymond used electrical energy for everything.
In the universe, electrical energy was actually the easiest thing to obtain.
Therefore, Raymond had already thought of it from the start.
To think that this great big rod used electrical energy as well.
That was great.
Raymond’s interest went to an all-time high!
“Yes, this weapon can indeed be charged!”
Actually, when Nelson first found that this thing could be charged, he was also dumbfounded.
It was a commonly used energy source, so common that even aliens favored it.
Who would have thought that!
But in retrospect, aliens were not stupid.
The best energy to use in the universe was electricity.
And electricity was also the easiest to convert.
What could be used without electricity?
Earth worked on thermal energy first because they did not have the ability to store electricity.
If they had invented a battery with a huge capacity in the era of Edison and Tesla, there would have been no steam or gas-powered car.
“It charges extremely efficiently!”
Raymond was liking this weapon more and more. He turned around and said, “Can you test it out?”
“This… I don’t think so!”
“What’s wrong? What’s the problem?”
Raymond frowned.
“The key is that this weapon was made by our team, so it can’t be as powerful as what we’ve idealized. When activated, a lot of electricity is consumed, and we just tested it once recently, so we don’t have enough electricity in reserve!”
“Power? Did you use the power stored in the Super Capacitor?”
“Yes!” Nelson gave it to him straight.
Nelson also wanted to get an alien battery, but it was above his paygrade.
The alien battery was in the Eighth Research inst.i.tute.
The First Research inst.i.tute had said that they didn’t need to test the performance of this weapon for the time being.
To put it bluntly, the First Research inst.i.tute did not think highly of this weapon.
Energy weapons were very powerful, but they demanded exorbitant returns.
“Let’s go, follow me to the surface to test it out!”
Raymond took the rod and prepared to leave.
“The surface? Nothing on the surface would be able to power it!”
“How so? I don’t believe my Gundam wouldn’t have enough for a single test?!”
This time, without waiting for Nelson to answer, Angelo interrupted Raymond’s thoughts in the observation room.
“No, you can’t bring the weapon up aboveground!”
Angelo’s tone was firm.
“You can’t bring it aboveground?”
Raymond frowned and immediately looked at Angelo.
“When your people shot at my Gundam, didn’t they use energy weapons?”
Angelo: ????
Upon hearing Raymond’s words, Angelo was stunned!
Him!
How did he know?
Someone had tipped him off?
Impossible!
Raymond had only been in area 53 for a few hours. It was impossible for him to turn anyone to his side so soon.
Could it be that he had met a diehard fan?
That was also unlikely!
Then, the only answer was that Raymond’s technology could receive external information from 920 meters underground.
“You knew!”
Angelo was extremely embarra.s.sed at that moment!
His original plan was to stall for as long as he could.
As long as Raymond was still underground, he could think of a way to prevent any escalation.
But now, Raymond knew all this time.
No, he still couldn’t let him bring this weapon up.
Otherwise, he would see through his intentions.
“Of course I know! Do you think I would do something I’m uncertain of?”
“Ridiculous!”
“Do you think my Gundam isn’t capable of autonomous functions?”
“It’s a good thing that you stopped. Otherwise, the whole place would be leveled!”
It seemed as if Raymond was threatening them, but in reality, Raymond was only stating a fact.
“We were truly at fault for this!” Angelo admitted frankly. “However, Nelson’s weapon really can’t be brought to the ground. As for the reason, I can’t say…”
This time, even Nelson and Camilla were puzzled.
Energy weapons were no longer a secret in Area 53.
Nelson’s copy was only slightly more powerful.
Was there a reason behind this?
Angelo did not seem ready to talk.
“Can I go and take a look at the ‘droplet’?”
Raymond thought for a while and made a request to Angelo.
“This… Alright!”
Angelo was the head of the history department.
However, the First Research inst.i.tute wasn’t something that Angelo could count on.
If one wanted to see the original ‘droplet’, they had to make a huge contribution.
Raymond had already solved a very important problem — activating the cloned neural brain!
Based on this, Raymond had enough rights to look at the water droplet.
He believed that those old fellows would have nothing to say.
Raymond’s main purpose for coming here was two things.
First, to find a way to skip sleep and rest entirely.
Second, to see if there was anything beneficial to him from the alien’s technology.
If he stayed in the Second Research inst.i.tute, Raymond would certainly reap more benefits.
For example, he could learn how to make biological energy weapons and so on.
However, the main purpose would not be achieved by doing so.
Nelson naturally hoped that Raymond could study in his laboratory.
However, his laboratory did not attract Raymond much.
Therefore, the group of people did not hesitate and went straight to the First Research inst.i.tute.
..
The First Research inst.i.tute was built after capturing the ‘droplet’.
It was built not too long ago.
However, its size belied its relative youth.
This was because the scientists at that time had already thought about the future.
They unanimously believed that the First Research inst.i.tute had to be very large.
Therefore, the first research inst.i.tute was not completely underground.
Part of it was above ground, and part of it was underground.
The droplets had to be kept deep underground.
Camilla had seen the droplet a few times herself.
Therefore, she was very familiar with the route.
However, after those old fellows received the information, they directly blocked the path of the group of people.
“Hey Hey Hey! It’s really Raymond! Can I take a look at that Gundam of yours?”
“Raymond, how was your artificial intelligence designed! I’ve studied AI for many years, but I haven’t seen anything like it before!”
“Raymond, if you can teach me how to make nano batteries, I’ll let you look at the droplets!”
A few old men immediately surrounded him.
It could be seen that they were also extreme fanatics of scientific research.
Even though they were in their 70s and 80s, their pa.s.sion still burned strong.
Moreover, their interest did not diminish at all.
Faced with the requests of this group of old men, Raymond remained calm.
It was not impossible for him to share his research!
However, he was pressed for time and could not be delayed!
“Minister Angelo, you see…”
Raymond directly threw the question to Anjiro.
It was not the time to be polite!
