"You could say that." Luke nodded, then corrected him, "But I prefer to explain it another way. That is, evolution!"
"Evolution?" Snooker and Jessica Jones were stunned.
"Yes, evolution." Luke said softly, "I think you should have heard of the military's super soldier program?"
Snooker nodded. Jessica Jones, who was standing next to him, listened intently to their conversation.
"Although it was abandoned and deemed a failure, it did have its merits," Luke said, offering a fair assessment. After all, while the plan was unreliable, it did successfully produce several excellent products. "Evolution of the human body is one thing, and evolution of machinery is another. Of course, I want to achieve both."
"Like it?" Snook's gaze fell on the little monkey who had returned to flesh and blood in the metal house and looked a little depressed.
"Like this. It's the first man-made creature on this planet that can switch between flesh and machine. Of course, the transition isn't perfect, and I didn't intend to create this trait, but it should be a special product." Luke said helplessly, "In my opinion, it can only be considered a semi-finished product, although it is relatively stable."
"Is that your tube of genetic fluid?" Snoke thought of the tube of azure injection that Luke showed him.
"Yes." Luke nodded.
"Is this the effect it shows?" Snook pointed at the little monkey in the metal house who seemed to have become quiet again because of fatigue.
"Not completely." Luke shook his head. "First of all, its original function wasn't the kind of genetic drug that strengthened your body as you might imagine. Instead, it granted you a power that theoretically allowed you to use any technological weapon without any equipment. But because it was a semi-finished product, it required some external materials to create the technological weapon you desired.
It's very stable, without the significant risks associated with the Super Soldier Program. However, it also has a very high barrier to entry! To fully utilize this capability, the best person to choose is a scientist! The current limitation is that if you want to tailor a weapon to your environment, you first need to understand the manufacturing process. In other words, you need at least a blueprint for the weapon. If you're familiar with a weapon's components and understand its construction, you can probably forcibly create it to a near-perfect degree. However, power and stability are not guaranteed.
It's like playing a game. If you forcibly craft something, it might just be an ordinary piece of equipment. But if you master the weapon manufacturing process and structure, you might be able to craft an excellent piece of equipment. If you also use excellent manufacturing materials, it can be enhanced into a unique and customized piece of equipment that is uniquely yours.
"So, if you want to master it, you need to learn some weapon design and manufacturing, right?" Snoke felt a headache coming on. Jessica Jones, who was listening quietly nearby, also understood what Luke meant. She was originally eager to try, but now she was a little hesitant. She didn't have a brilliant mind. She wasn't afraid of fighting, but asking her to study like those geniuses was a bit of a torture.
"Of course I have a way to lower the barrier to entry." Luke smiled and pointed at the little monkey in the metal house. "How else could a monkey possibly use guns and laser weapons?"
Luke's words instantly distracted Snoke and Jessica Jones, both startled. Yes, that monkey had used not only a large number of cold weapons but also a number of firearms. Could a $20,000 experimental creature be so intelligent? Could it possibly know the manufacturing process for firearms and laser weapons?
"Weapon meme." Luke pulled out another syringe. "It can store templates for various weapons. By injecting it, the recipient can master the stored weapon templates without any instruction. Don't call you a fool; even an animal can master the corresponding weapon. Its advantage is that it can be steadily replaced and even upgraded!"
"Is this scientific?" Jessica Jones took the bright red injection from Luke's hand, looked at it in front of her eyes, and asked in confusion.
Luke spread his hands and didn't want to answer the question.
If there's a technology that can achieve a similar effect, it would be the synaesthesia system. Luke can program the synaesthesia system to store some knowledge into a person's memory. However, this method isn't perfect. First, it's simply forcing memory. The more information is stored, the greater the burden on the memory and brain. Furthermore, even after storing information, success isn't guaranteed. Some people will always master it more skillfully, while others may make mistakes. It's even possible that some people will forget. Therefore, it's better to use this "simple and crude" method to solve the problem once and for all.
As for science?
Luke, who successfully researched science fiction particles, said that this is very scientific in this world.
Science fiction particles are the culmination of all that science can achieve, even if it's just fantasy science! As long as they're logically rigorous and based on reality, they can be realized. Of course, this is the most beautiful vision, a future pursuit. Currently, Luke would need to produce even a tiny amount of them, consuming a tremendous amount of time and energy, resulting in a high cost.
But we have to do it.
Just like the dimensional demons, each one has its own corresponding power, including powerful ones such as white magic, black magic, chaos magic, dark forces, and some that master the power of rules. In Luke's speculation, each dimensional demon has at least one power that they have developed or occupied.
Science fiction particles are the demonic power that belongs to him.
Right now, it's just a prototype, not even a true semi-finished product. But a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and he's finally found a way forward. Who knows, some of the unscientific scientific products he's imagining might one day appear in the world. The road ahead is difficult, but it's worth the wait.
"After taking this injection, can I switch to another life form at any time?" Snooker asked. "Will it affect my thinking and emotions?"
"It doesn't essentially change your life form. You're still essentially a carbon-based organism. Whether you're using weapon memes to craft and use weapons, or changing your life form, it all requires energy. Without external energy, you only consume your physical strength. In other words, there's a limit to the duration of your transformations and the power of the weapons you craft! This limit is the energy limit you can mobilize."
