Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

Mars.

Earth's sister planet, its atmosphere is similar to Earth's, except that the atmospheric density is less than one percent of Earth's, and its main component is carbon dioxide.

This makes it impossible for humans to survive exposed on Mars.

However, this Earth-like atmosphere does give humans room for development, meaning that the Martian atmosphere could be transformed into an environment suitable for human habitation.

Currently, Earth has established preliminary space stations on Mars, and it's estimated that within fifty years, a settlement base could be built, given that Earth's population has already exceeded eight billion.

After Kujima Megumi submitted Chu Xuan's proposal to Director Zejing, he looked at it carefully for a while and said, "Sparcium material? This material contains massive energy, which all countries are aware of, but they just can't exploit it. The Max Power System is used to imitate the process of dispersing the energy of this substance."

"Is that really so?" Kujima Megumi clicked her tongue. This was also her first time understanding the research origins of the Max Power System. The power of light, or rather, the power of Sparcium?

"But why is this substance named Sparcium?" Director Zejing asked.

"That was the name Chu Xuan gave it," Kujima Megumi replied honestly, expressing that she didn't know either. Surely it wasn't because of the beam emitted by the gigantic hero Ultraman in some special effects drama by Tsuburaya Productions, right?

"Speaking of which, this name is indeed nostalgic. The special effects dramas directed by Eiji Tsuburaya, who would have thought they'd become real now?" Zejing sighed with emotion. "By the way, Tsuburaya Productions made special effects dramas besides 'Ultraman', like 'Ultra Seven'. I've watched these two, and the others, I haven't watched much since growing up."

"How did Eiji Tsuburaya come up with Ultraman back then? Did he see one?" Kujima Megumi was quite interested in this since the Ultraman in 'Ultraman' and Tiga looked similar, though the Ultraman was just a wetsuit-modified suit that didn't look very real.

"Who knows, maybe Eiji Tsuburaya really saw Ultraman," Zejing, with his romantic sentimentality, was not too concerned about whether Eiji Tsuburaya had ever seen Ultraman.

After all, the person had been dead for many years, and now his descendants were running Tsuburaya Productions. Even if one wanted to investigate, there wouldn't be much useful to find.

"By the way, does the current Tsuburaya Productions have any new works?"

Mentioning Eiji Tsuburaya, Zejing, in a nostalgic mood, had some anticipation for the current Tsuburaya Productions.

Although even if he knew now, he wouldn't have time to watch, at his age, he would be retiring in a few years, and could make preparations for the future.

"I heard a year ago, they tried to redefine an Ultraman hero, temporarily distancing from the M78 worldview, redefining a period when an Ultraman first arrived on Earth. The story is roughly similar to Ultraman, also about an Ultraman chasing monsters to Earth, colliding with a plane and fusing with the pilot. However, this Earth defines alien organisms more harshly... it seems they were going to name it Nexus."

Recalling related memories, Kujima Megumi honestly recounted the information acquired about Tsuburaya Productions after Ultraman Tiga appeared.

"However, half a year ago, with the sudden emergence of Ultraman Tiga, Tsuburaya Productions had to abandon this plan. Scripts polished over six months, designs, all had to be abandoned."

At this point, Kujima Megumi sighed softly.

She had seen the script; it was excellent, just not suitable for children. Plus, the emergence of Ultraman Tiga gave people a natural trust in Ultraman. Even conspiracy theorists were clearly aware that they were merely venting frustrations accumulated in their lives.

At this time, releasing a relatively dark Ultraman special effects drama would likely get Tsuburaya Productions heavily criticized, because most people wouldn't care what the director intended to express with the special effects, only seeing superficial things like "Ultraman was attacked by humans" or "humans exploited Ultraman."

Not just children, some adults would only see this surface as well.

Children see good and evil clearly; what they see is what is real. Complex content is hard for them to understand; they prefer watching Ultraman fight monsters, which occupies less than one-tenth of the plot.

And adults?

Often too busy to unwind with movies or TV shows, most don't enjoy thinking deeply.

This portion of adults is easier to exploit by "the interested parties."

Therefore, the Tsuburaya Productions project named "Ultraman Nexus," which hadn't even been filmed in the Tiga continuity, was aborted due to Tiga's sudden emergence.

Yet, for some reason, Kujima Megumi now thinks about it, and Nexus sounds so familiar, even looks familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

Clearly half a year ago, she had no impression at all... as if Nexus appeared recently, but just because of some reason, she lost the related memory, and now can recall it because she might be special (possessed by Yulia).

The elite of the Victory Team, it's impossible for them to have such "deja vu" memory illusions, for they possess far superior judgment abilities.

"That's really a pity." Zejing sighed slightly, then asked about the gene lock, "Have the elites of the Victory Team all been able to unlock the gene lock?"

"Yes, but once unlocked, the duration isn't long. For example, I can only sustain it for three minutes. Beyond that, the strain on the body is massive, but with frequent training, you can gradually adapt," Kujima Megumi explained, using herself as an example to describe the situation.

"Three minutes, it really is somewhat similar to Ultraman," Zejing remarked, then continued, "I'll take care of acquiring the Sparcium material. After all, this concerns the future safety of the team members. Sofia is not to be underestimated."

Kujima Megumi heard the heaviness in Zejing's tone and quickly asked sensitively, "Did the space deployment side get any messages?"

"Seven days ago, the lunar base received a message from a planet in the triple-star system of Centaurus, translated as a distress signal, roughly meaning their planet is encased by Sofia and unable to leave, and finally, the Sofia mother body appeared and devoured the entire planet." Zejing's eyes were grim.

"An entire planet?!" Kujima Megumi's pupils contracted sharply.

"I know it's exaggerated, but aside from the assumption that this message is false, all other assumptions lead to one conclusion—"

Zejing continued in a low voice, "The Sofia mother body is far stronger than we imagined... Agreeing to provide you with Sparcium isn't just my decision; the higher-ups will all agree."

"The Sofia mother body will certainly arrive in the solar system..."

"And as elite defenders of Earth's peace, you must possess stronger combat means!"

"Earth, if there are only one or two Ultramen, may not be able to be defended..."
