One Piece Food System - Chapter 395
c390 Dialogue between scientists
On the bow deck of the Harmony, a steel throne protruded from the deck and extended to a height of more than ten meters above the deck.
Hercules was sitting on the Iron Throne at this time, looking into the distance.
“Gaji, Gaji, I would like to see how many ‘clone troops’ you have left to sacrifice…” Hercules, who was sitting on the Iron Throne, was not at all annoyed by the pursuit these days. Looking forward to the final victory more and more.
Unlike many forces, although Heavenly Punishment also has superiors and subordinates, starting from the boss Lei Fa, he rarely puts on the airs of the boss.
Even if Hercules really failed in his pursuit, Refa wouldn’t say anything.
Because such small things cannot enter Lei Fa’s eyes at all.
So for Hercules, there was actually no psychological pressure in this kind of beheading mission.
However, the target he was chasing was chosen by him on his own initiative.
He and Gaji are old acquaintances. They met in the ‘Jerma Group’ without looking up. Although the relationship is not very good, they are still acquaintances.
After learning that Gaji had actually obtained the ‘blood factor’ data that Dr. Vegapunk had studied and successfully applied it to the experimental product, Hercules had already planned to find out. Although biotechnology is not his main research direction, his level in biotechnology is definitely higher than Gaji’s.
It is true that he cannot complete the research on ‘blood factor’, but it is not difficult to understand it.
As a talented scientist, how could he not be curious about this research that shocked the world’s governments?
Therefore, he directly chose the ‘Vinsmoke Family’ as his target.
But he had to admit that the ferocity of Gaji’s ‘Clone Troops’ was beyond his expectation, and it was not just ferocious.
If it were just a suicide attack, the artificial man created by Hercules could also easily accomplish it, because the artificial man’s thinking was controlled by rudimentary artificial intelligence.
But compared to the speed of human thinking, primary artificial intelligence is far behind.
Unable to improvise, it can only complete simple tasks such as locking on targets and shooting.
The ‘Clone Troops’ under Gaji were different.
They have thinking logic that is not inferior to that of normal humans, and their ability to adapt to changes is no less than that of battle-hardened soldiers. And I don’t know how Gaji did it. These clones are actually the same as artificial humans, with the same personality. A brave man who is not afraid of death!
This kind of death-defying force with strong maneuverability, agile thinking and logic, and not afraid of death is really beyond the comparison of ordinary troops.
Most of the members of the ‘Mechanical Legion’ under Hercules are artificial human troops, and only a handful of them are led by scientists like him.
In terms of not being afraid of death, they are not inferior to the ‘Clone Troops’, but due to their lack of adaptability, they still suffered some small losses from the ‘Clone Troops’ attacks.
Because of this, Gaji was able to temporarily escape from the ‘Mechanical Legion’ time and time again.
Taken together, at least tens of thousands of clones have died in previous suicide attacks. The number of the Vinsmoke Family’s fleet is also constantly decreasing, from the initial more than 20 ships to The five ships now are in danger.
Even if there are ‘Clone Troopers’ on those five ships, there should not be many of them.
Indeed, a suicide attack can indeed buy Gaji some time to escape.
But the ‘Mechanical Legion’ did not lose even a single ship from beginning to end!
This is the terrifying thing about Hercules!
The warships of Heavenly Punishment, especially the warships under the ‘Mechanical Legion’, almost change a little every six months and a big change every three years!
If we set up a battle formation and fight one on one, it is no exaggeration to say that one warship of Heavenly Punishment can pick off five naval warships.
The ‘Clone Troops’ under Gaji may be able to destroy naval warships, but there is nothing that can be done against the ‘Mechanical Legion’s warships. At best, it can only delay time.
Therefore, Hercules is not worried that Gaji will escape from his grasp. Just like a cat catching a mouse, it also enjoys the fun of playing with its prey.
BRU BRU BRU, BRU BRU BRU!
While Hercules was looking into the distance with great interest, the portable phone on his wrist suddenly rang.
“Huh?” Hercules was a little surprised as to who would contact him at this time.
He picked up the phone, “Moses Moses?”
“Give me your price, Heracles, what will it cost to let Gaji go?” The person on the phone directly skipped the greetings and self-introduction stages and got straight to the point.
This kind of conversation made Hercules’ eyes narrow immediately.
“Is it you? You don’t seem to have any friendship with this Gaji.” Without much hesitation, Hercules roughly guessed who the person on the other end of the phone was.
“It doesn’t matter whether it’s friendship or not. I have a reason to save his life. You just need to give me a price.” The other end of the phone said in a statement tone.
“Let me think about it… Since you didn’t save him because of our past friendship, then it must be because he promised to give you some kind of benefit, which made your heart move, so you decided to save him, right?” Hercules was not in a hurry, right? Whether making an offer or rejecting, he just spoke in a semi-guessing tone.
“Generally speaking, if you want to impress people, it’s nothing more than wealth and power, but these things are meaningless to you, Bega Punk.”
“What can make you tempted is probably some scientific research result that interests you… It’s almost impossible for a waste like Gaji to come up with any project that interests you on his own, so it must be him Those experimental products and experimental materials that were completed using your ‘blood factor’? His ‘Clone Troops’?”
Hercules’ voice was still slightly dull, but it clearly contained a hint of cunning.
“You seem to be a lot more cunning than before…” Dr. Begapunk on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment after hearing what Hercules said, and then said.
“Thank you for the compliment.” Hercules smiled.
“But this has nothing to do with what I’m talking about. You should know that I don’t like to beat around the bush, so tell me your price.” Dr. Vegapunk said in deep thought.
“I refuse.” Hercules said without thinking.
“Huh?” Dr. Vegapunk was stunned for a moment. He probably didn’t expect Hercules to be so decisive, refusing even to leave any room for negotiation.
“Don’t forget, I am also a scientist, and my desire for Gaji’s experimental results will never be lower than yours. If you ask me to offer a price to let him go, even if I offer a price that can make me The value of giving up his experimental results will definitely be higher than the value of his experimental finished products, which you absolutely cannot agree to.”
“In this case, why waste time? Negotiation is not suitable for scientists, because our calculation of gains and losses is too precise, so precise that no one will give in.”
Hercules said slowly.
“Well, I was negligent.” Dr. Vegapunk said quietly, and then hung up the phone.
When the caller was hung up, Hercules’ expression turned serious.
He patted the armrest of the Iron Throne and lowered it quickly. At the same time, he ordered his deputy, “Give me the order. Don’t worry about whether the battleship is damaged. Give me the fastest speed to destroy the Vinsmoke family.” ‘Take it and attack with all your strength!”
