“What are you researching, Strategist?” Jiang Mo asked.
The Strategist was startled by the sudden voice and quickly turned around. Seeing that it was Jiang Mo, he breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously hid the weapon in his hand behind him.
However, he quickly realized that hiding it was useless, so he awkwardly took it out again, saying with a slightly embarrassed expression, “Young Master, this is a pistol I’ve been tinkering with recently. Oh no, to be precise, it’s a laser gun. Take a look.”
With that, the Strategist walked to a more open area with the laser gun, pointed it at a discarded target in the distance, and motioned for Jiang Mo to step back.
After ensuring safety, he took a deep breath and then decisively pulled the trigger.
An dazzling laser shot out instantly, moving so fast that its trajectory was almost invisible, like a flash of lightning.
The next second, the distant target was directly pierced through, and a circle of charred marks from high-temperature burning appeared around the target. The power was truly astonishing, as if it could ignite the surrounding air.
Jiang Mo was also very shocked by this. The power of this shot was no weaker than the full-force attack of a Level 30 Pokémon. If it were used in actual combat, it would be incredible.
The Strategist looked at Jiang Mo and slowly explained, “Young Master, I’ve been particularly interested in high-tech weapons since I was a child and have always been researching them.”
“I am actually the illegitimate son of a certain research-focused aristocratic family in the Alliance. I am not valued at all in the family. Those so-called orthodox researchers always mock my research results, thinking that I am just an unorthodox person, not presentable, and that everything I make is just some low-grade stuff.”
At this point, the Strategist’s tone carried a hint of anger and unwillingness.
“But I’ve always held a drive inside, wanting to prove myself! To let them all see clearly that I can create something different, something that can change the world!”
As he spoke, the Strategist’s tone became more and more agitated, and his eyes couldn't help but turn bloodshot.
Listening to the Strategist’s words, Jiang Mo pondered for a moment. He stepped forward, patted the Strategist’s shoulder forcefully, and said with a serious expression, “Strategist, I think your research is very useful. If you ever lack any resources in the future, just tell me.”
Upon hearing this, the Strategist’s eyes reddened slightly. He never expected Jiang Mo to support him so much. For a moment, his heart was filled with emotion, and he didn’t know what to say.
Then, Jiang Mo leaned into his ear, lowering his voice but speaking with utmost solemnity, “Remember, the more powerful, the better. Ideally, it should be capable of killing Heavenly King Level and even Champion Pokémon.”
After speaking, Jiang Mo turned and left the room, leaving the Strategist alone.
At this moment, after hearing Jiang Mo’s words, the Strategist’s pupils suddenly constricted. He stared blankly at Jiang Mo’s departing back, Jiang Mo’s words echoing in his mind.
After a while, his demeanor gradually became crazed, and a somewhat chilling, wild laugh appeared on his face. The laughter echoed in the slightly silent room...
“Hahahaha, hahahaha......”
......
After leaving the room, Jiang Mo’s heart was extremely excited, unable to calm down for a long time.
It should be known that the Alliance in this world, in order to firmly maintain its ruling position, resorted to all means.
One of the most crucial methods was to severely suppress the common people, and among the many restrictive measures, the restrictions on the development of thermal weapons had truly reached an almost harsh degree.
The current level of thermal weapons in this world has been stagnant, only remaining at the stage of ordinary firearms and artillery.
Thermal weapons of this level might barely be useful against unarmed ordinary people.
But once they encountered powerful Pokémon, they became completely useless, like immobile iron targets, with no ability to fight back at all.
Moreover, their power was extremely limited, not enough to cause even the slightest damage to Pokémon whose strength exceeded the Gym Leader Class.
The entire world’s technology tree seemed to have been deliberately guided, completely skewed towards areas related to Pokémon.
Strategic weapons capable of destroying a city by themselves simply did not exist here.
Under such a large environment, the military was basically in a transparent and awkward position, where the strength of the military almost entirely depended on the strength of the Pokémon they possessed.
And the improvement of a Pokémon’s own strength was closely dependent on the abundance of resources, which was precisely the profundity of the Alliance’s methods; as long as they controlled the power to distribute resources, it was equivalent to firmly controlling the entire world.
If a fully armed army could be cultivated, coupled with some powerful black technologies, it might not be impossible to fight the Alliance.
It would be best to research the various black technologies from the original work that could capture Legendary Pokémon, such as a net that could catch Suicune...
The Strategist was able to research such a powerful laser gun without any resources or financial support. This level of talent was truly astonishing.
It was precisely because of this that Jiang Mo valued the Strategist so much and supported his research.
After all, all fear comes from insufficient firepower. Jiang Mo was already imagining the spectacular scene of Dawn unleashing missiles on the Alliance in the future.
Aside from the confrontations between high-end combat forces, if thermal weapons were used properly, they could absolutely form an overwhelming advantage in low and mid-level battles, greatly changing the current combat landscape.
Once Dawn and Dawn Company’s development gradually got on track, Jiang Mo refocused on his Pokémon.
Larvitar truly lived up to its Pseudo-Legendary status; its appetite was astonishingly large. Every day, just to fill its stomach, Jiang Mo had to have Zhen Yu transport several truckloads of ore.
“Yo-ji yo-ji!”
Larvitar’s round body was sprawled next to a pile of ore, continuously gnawing on rocks with its tiny mouth, looking very clumsy and adorable.
Jiang Mo stood by, watching its greedy appearance, and was speechless.
Fortunately, he was now the Young Master of Dawn, and Dawn Company was bringing in a steady stream of income every day.
Otherwise, like before, relying solely on his mother Lin Zhiqiu’s meager money would never be enough for this little guy to gorge himself like this.
Jiang Mo casually played with the Groudon fragment he had obtained from Mew.
Larvitar, who was originally focused on gnawing on rocks, was immediately attracted, its small eyes filled with longing, continuously calling out “Yo-ji yo-ji” from its mouth.
Its short legs kept moving towards Jiang Mo, wishing it could immediately snatch the fragment into its mouth.
“Larvitar, don’t rush. This thing will be yours eventually, but now is not the time.”
Jiang Mo quickly stretched out his hand and gently pushed away the approaching Larvitar. Looking at its longing little eyes, Jiang Mo’s heart remained unmoved.
Currently, Larvitar’s level had reached 28, and it was not far from evolving.
Jiang Mo understood that once Larvitar evolved into Pupitar, it would no longer be able to eat.
Therefore, he hoped Larvitar could store more energy while it could still eat.
As for this Groudon fragment, Jiang Mo had already planned to let Larvitar eat it when it reached Level 30, close to evolving, to maximize the fragment’s effect.
After training for a while, Jiang Mo’s phone, which was placed nearby, suddenly chimed, receiving a message from Zhen Yu.
“Dragon Tamer Squad, assemble!”
Their first mission had arrived...
