Chapter 223 Three Years Later, Sonosaki Ryubei and Gaia Memory
(Have you ever read the Super Sentai Gaiden - League of Hero Moms? After I write these three teams, I will try to write this Gaiden)
1985 years.
Time flies, and nearly three years have passed.
In the past three years, except for the addition of a strange man evolved from human beings in Xiuka, there has been no disturbance.
Huagata is busy every day looking for the newborn Orfienuo and investigating whether there are Wang Qisu among the children who have narrowly escaped death.
In the past three years, Shen Yun has also created the artificial Demon Emperor Stone and the bat robot that can control the flow of Demon Emperor Power step by step.
At the same time, according to the research information provided by Hanakata, he developed the photon blood through the fossil of the King of Enoch, and analyzed and studied the photon blood.
Photon blood is divided into five colors of red, yellow, blue, white (silver) and gold according to different flow rates, and the further back the more powerful the output.
Photon blood appears red in the most stable condition, and when the blood flow increases to a certain level, it will turn yellow, or a higher order of blue.
When the heat resistance limit of the photon blood vessel is reached, the photon blood will turn white (silver).
Such as Faiz acceleration form, its output is almost equal to Delta.
The greater the flow of photon blood, the higher the temperature generated.
Therefore, it is necessary to increase photonic blood vessels, or to perform shunting in multiple places for processing.
For example, Kaixa and Delta have multiple photonic blood vessels used as shunts.
In addition to the shunt, there is also an exposed core, which is processed by adding a heat sink to the head.
Such as Faiz acceleration form, Psyga (Emperor of Heaven), Orga (Emperor of Earth).
Although he has the photon blood for research and analysis, Shen Yun has no idea how to improve the photon blood yet.
After all, the fluid energy of photon blood is a technological product born out of the fossilization ability of King Ofe Enoch.
Therefore, only Orfienuo can control and control the flow of Photon's blood.
If you want to improve this, the difficulty is almost equivalent to redeveloping a plausible thing.
However, Shen Yun was not in a hurry.
After all, there is no rush for this kind of thing, it is better to ponder it slowly.
In addition, Shen Yun also used the Aofei Enuo provided by the flower shape to conduct a detailed research on Ao Feienuo.
Through the dissection of Orfienuo, it is known that the body structure of Orfienuo before and after transformation is completely different, as if the body of Orfienuo has been reconstructed.
In this change, what plays a role is the genetic factor of Ophelia, which can also be referred to as Ophelia factor for short.
Because the human body cannot withstand such drastic changes in a short period of time, every time Orfienuo transforms, he will consume his lifespan.
And the performance of cell death is graying.
Therefore, compared with Gulangji, who can also become a weirdo, Orfienuo is more similar to Golgom's weirdo.
They are all changes in genetic factors, but one is acquired modification, and the other is incomplete evolution after death.
Such a relationship can't help but let Shen Yun's imagination run wild.
In this timeline where all the worldviews are consistent, the existence of Orfienuo, maybe it really has something to do with Gorgom? (reasonable association, don't have to take it seriously)
After all, Golgom is an organization that existed in ancient times, before humans appeared.
Golgom's monsters each have a lifespan of 5 years, and they cannot change from monster form back to human form.
As for Ofe Enoch, after receiving the power of immortality bestowed by King Ofe Enoch, he will completely abandon his identity as a human being, completely become a weirdo, and cannot turn back into a human being.
But at the same time, Orfienuo will also get the ability of immortality.
This kind of immortality, although not explicitly stated in the play, has a high probability of immortality.
As for the lifespan of Orfi Enoch, who was bestowed with immortality by the king, no one knows how long it will last.
In the end, whether it is the Creation King of Gorgom or the King of Ofi Enoch, they are all locust monsters.
Therefore, it is difficult not to associate Orfienuo with Gorgom.
After figuring out the reason for the evolution of Orfienuo, Shen Yun optimized the artificial Demon Emperor Stone while thinking about the improvement of Photon's blood.
It was not until half a year ago that Shen Yun completely perfected the artificial Demon Emperor Stone.
After perfecting the artificial Demon Emperor Stone, Shen Yun made the artificial Demon Emperor Stone into bracelets and anklets, and put them on A2's enhanced suit to increase the Demon Emperor's power.
Shen Yun also replaced the exoskeleton on the enhanced suit with the same Lucifer metal as the golden Kiva armor.
Shen Yun also added several layers of Delanosaurus leather to the undershirt of the enhanced suit to enhance its defense.
At the same time, Shen Yun reserved space for three photon blood vessels on the enhanced suit.
After finishing all this, Shen Yun was completely free.
With no research direction, Shen Yun reads books and newspapers every day to pass the time.
Occasionally flirt with Maya, and while exchanging music, have some in-depth exchanges by the way.
It can be said that he lived the life of a retired veteran cadre ahead of time.
……
Castle of Derain.
Shen Yun leisurely flipped through the classics of the Yaxue Ghost Clan, and Maye nestled in Shen Yun's arms, touching his well-proportioned and flat belly, and said depressingly: "It's been almost five years, and there is still no movement."
Over the years, they haven't done any preventive measures, and as a result, her stomach hasn't moved at all.
If she just wanted to complete the task at the beginning, then she is completely willing now.
"Don't worry, we still have a long time, don't we? Take your time." Shen Yun caressed Zhen Ye's cheek and comforted her.
He took three different gene enhancement drugs, and his own genes have been optimized, so it is still very difficult to leave offspring.
"Yeah." A smile appeared on Maye's face.
At this time, A2 ran over and handed an invitation card and several A4 papers filled with research materials to Shen Yun.
"Doctor, someone sent an invitation, and there are some research materials."
"Invitation card?" Shen Yun stretched out his hand to take the invitation card from A2, and glanced at it roughly.
Seeing the name left on the invitation, Shen Yun raised his eyebrows, revealing a look of interest.
"Sonosaki Ryubei?"
If he remembers correctly, Sonosaki Ryubei should be the final boss in Kamen Rider W.
Shen Yun glanced at the address on the invitation again - Fengdu.
Sure enough it was him.
Shen Yun also carefully browsed the contents of the invitation card, which roughly meant to invite him to the family banquet at Sonosaki's house, and discuss matters related to Gaia Memory by the way.
In order to impress Shen Yun, Sonosaki Ryubei also sent some research materials of Gaia memory by the way.
Shen Yun put down the invitation card, and took the research materials from A2.
These few research materials do not involve much content, but only introduce the principle of Gaia's memory - it uses a special program to seal various memories on the earth, which is called "memory of the earth" It is a kind of portable memory formed by the power converted from the information.
"In this era, is the Sonosaki family already developing Gaia memory?" Shen Yunsi asked.
This year is 1985, which seems to be the year Shotaro Sato was born.
According to the content of the theatrical version of Kamen Rider W's MOVIE Wars CORE, it can be known that the Gaia memory first appeared when Shotaro Sato was seven or eight years old.
It seems normal to spend seven or eight years developing the Gaia memory.
After the T1 memory was developed, and after years of research, it was not until 2009 that the consortium X developed the T2 memory.
Although the information sent by Sonosaki Ryubei did not involve much content, it did arouse Shen Yun's interest.
"This old fox." Shen Yun cursed with a smile, and put the documents in his hand on the table.
The purpose of this old fox is already obvious, if he wants to know the rest of the information, he has to go to Fengdu.
The old fox probably already calculated that Shen Yun would definitely come to Fengdu after reading the information, so he sent all the invitations together.
"Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I'll go to Fengdu for a while." Shen Yun accepted the invitation, looked down at Zhenye, and asked with a smile: "Zhenye, do you want to go to Fengdu with me to have fun?"
"Okay." Maya smiled.
"Let's go."
Shen Yun took Zhenye, A2, and Meibiou to Fengdu in a special car.
On the way, Shen Yun asked A2 to contact Sonosaki's house according to the contact information on the invitation.
As the largest underground evil force in Fengdu, the Sonosaki family naturally had a different scene.
Of course, in front of Shuka, the Sonosaki family, who have not yet developed the Gaia memory, are at best just big ants.
Soon, the special car that Shen Yun took came to Fengdu—a city with huge windmills.
Entering Fengdu, you can see the huge windmill slowly rotating under the breeze.
The special car drove into Fengdu and drove all the way to the address on the invitation.
The Sonozaki family's mansion is located here.
Sonosaki Ryuhei also stood at the gate of the mansion with his family, welcoming Shen Yun's arrival.
In 1985, Sonosaki Ryubei looked very young, not as old as in Kamen Rider W.
"It really makes our Sonosaki family flourish for a distinguished guest like Dr. Demon Doctor to visit the humble house in person." Sonosaki Ryuhei said compliments.
"There is no need to say more about compliments, let's get straight to the point." Shen Yun said.
"This way please." Sonosaki Ryuhei made a gesture of invitation, and led Shen Yun into Sonosaki's mansion, and sat down one by one.
"It's time to start." Sonosaki Ryuhei told his servants.
Then, dishes were served on the table one by one.
"These are the special delicacies of Fengdu, please enjoy them," Sonosaki Ryuhei said.
Shen Yun was also polite, picked up the chopsticks, and enjoyed the delicacies provided by Sonosaki Ryuhei.
Not long after, Shen Yun put down his chopsticks, wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, then looked at Ryubei Sonosaki, and asked directly, "Are there any research materials on Gaia's memory?"
"It's gone." Sonosaki Ryubei shook his head and said, "That's all the information."
"Really? Sonosaki Ryubei, you are so brave, you should know what will happen to cheating Shuka, right?" Shen Yun squinted at Sonosaki Ryubei, and said coldly.
He didn't believe a word of Sonosaki Ryuhei's words.
Shen Yun is sure that this old fox will definitely keep a hand.
"Of course I know, so am I betting? I bet that you won't make Gaia's memory disappear because of this little deception." There is not much panic on the face.
"Heh." Shen Yun chuckled, leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, and said, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
The old fox lured him to Fengdu with the research data of Gaia's memory, and it must be more than just discussing related matters.
"I want to get the resource support of Shuka." Sonosaki Ryuhei said bluntly.
"Resources? This is simple, is there any more?" Shen Yun asked again.
"Yes, I hope Shuka will not interfere with the development of Gaia's memory." Sonosaki Ryuhei said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed afraid that Shen Yun would be angry, and quickly added: "But the technology of Gaia memory, I will share it with Xiuka."
Shen Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Ryubei Sonosaki in front of him, without speaking for a long time.
At this moment, Sonosaki Ryuhei was feeling anxious, but he didn't show it on his face.
The air in the hall seemed stagnant.
After a long time, Shen Yun opened his mouth slowly and said, "You are the first one who dares to negotiate such conditions with Xiuka."
"Then I'm really honored."
"With the resource support of the repair card, how long will it take you to develop the Gaia memory?" Shen Yun asked.
"With the support of repair card resources, I can develop a Gaia memory that can be used for experiments in up to three years." Sonosaki Ryubei said.
"Three years?" Shen Yun raised his brows, the old fox really still has good things hidden.
He has read all the research materials sent by Sonosaki Ryuhei, and the content is only a little better than the PPT.
Normally speaking, with such progress, Gaia memory for experiments will definitely not be developed within three years.
However, Shen Yun did not pursue further, anyway, he only wanted the manufacturing technology of Gaia memory.
"Yes." Sonosaki Ryubei was very confident.
"Then I will trust you just once, don't let me down." Shen Yun looked at Sonosaki Ryubei and said in a deep voice.
"I won't let you down."
At this point, the negotiation between Shen Yun and Sonosaki Ryubei came to an end.
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." Shen Yun got up from the sofa and said.
"Master Doctor, why don't you stay for a few more days, so that I can show my kindness as a landlord." Sonosaki Ryuhei asked to stay.
"Alright." Shen Yun did not refuse after hearing the words.
Anyway, when he went back, he spent most of his time reading in Castle Deland.
Together with Maya and A2, they also stayed with him in the Castle of Deland and seldom went out.
Now, it's time to play with Maya and the others in Fengdu and relax.
Moreover, it will be 1988 in a few years, which is the time when the Klexis Empire descended on the earth, and the earth will definitely be in chaos again by then.
At that time, I am afraid that there will not be much leisure time.
Chapter 37 was rejected by review, damn it, I will try again tomorrow
