Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon

Chapter 355: Super Large Meteorite (4.6k, supplemented on 5.5th day)
After looking up at the center of the universe, Bai Zhen followed Solance and Daigo into the building.

This is a very typical research base.

Solans took Bai Zhen directly to the launch command and control center.

We passed through very tight security along the way.

Some places even require you to scan your ID card, enter your password, or scan your iris before you can enter.

And those doors seemed to be made of special materials.

Following behind Solance, Bai Zhen looked at the heavy iron gate that had been opened and asked Solance: "What kind of attack can this gate of yours defend against?"

Solance, who was leading the way, unexpectedly turned around and looked at Bai Zhen. Bai Zhen's question was really too unconventional.

Who would come to the center of the universe to ask how strong the gate here is?

Solans said: "It can still defend against the attacks of ordinary Pokémon."

"Just average." Bai Zhen muttered.

Solance asked, "What's the problem?"

Bai Zhen shook his head and said it was nothing.

No wonder such places were easily breached in the game, the security level is totally insufficient.

But after thinking about it, Bai Zhen felt that it was very reasonable. This was a research institute for exploring the universe, and the security requirements were not that high. It was already amazing that it could defend against ordinary Pokémon.

The door opened, and Bai Zhen successfully entered the launch control center with Solans. Standing on a high place and looking down, the seats in the entire control center were like a university classroom, with seats arranged from top to bottom. Twenty or thirty researchers in white coats were busy here.

Right in front of the control center is a huge screen with many sub-screens. The largest main screen shows a huge meteorite.

Seeing the huge meteorite, Bai Zhen said to himself, "As expected."

Bai Zhen went straight to the point and asked Daigo beside him: "Is this the disaster you want me to help solve?"

Daigo nodded, "That's right. This meteorite is 16 kilometers in diameter. If it hits the ground, it will create at least a 200-kilometer-diameter impact crater. Any area will be instantly wiped out. The subsequent weather changes brought about by the meteorite impact will cause most of the life in the world to die in the subsequent disaster."

16 km in diameter
This meteorite was even bigger than Bai Zhen had imagined. Bai Zhen asked again, "When is this meteorite expected to hit, and where is the impact site?"

"This meteorite will hit our planet in about 30 days. It was supposed to hit Waterway , but it suddenly changed its direction and landed in the Kanto region."

"The landing point has been changed from the Hoenn region to the Kanto region?"

This surprised Bai Zhen a little.

Solance nodded repeatedly and said, "It's not too strange for a meteorite to shift in space."

"Well then," Bai Zhen looked at the meteorite again and asked Daigo and Solance, "Do you have any plans to deal with it now? And how do you want me to help you?"

Solance said: "We actually noticed this super-large meteorite half a year ago, and we started preparing for it half a year ago. This time the plan was formulated and implemented by us and Devon Company."

Solance opened a file on his own computer.

Before explaining it to Bai Zhen, he asked Bai Zhen in return: "Mr. Qian Zhou, do you understand [∞ Energy]?"

Bai Zhen nodded affirmatively: "This is the bioenergy developed by Devon Company inspired by the [Final Weapon] in the Kalos region 3000 years ago. Devon Company also relied on ∞ energy to become a leading large enterprise in the Hoenn region and even the world."

[Ultimate Weapon] Simply put, it is a destructive weapon developed by a king of the Kalos region 3000 years ago.

The weapon absorbs the life energy of Pokémon, can grant people eternal life, and can also destroy everything.

There is currently a statement in the academic community that the [Super Stone] that now appears in the Kalos region was created by the [Final Weapon] irradiating a special Evolution Stone.

The terrifying thing about the [Ultimate Weapon] is that it can kill a large number of Pokémon.

Seeing that Bai Zhen understood, Solance immediately began to explain it to Bai Zhen in detail.

"Our current plan is to put [∞ Energy] into the rocket, and combine this energy with the human life energy we found in the [Key Stone], and then use the huge energy generated by the artificially replicated Mega Evolution to solve the meteorite disaster."

Mega evolution is super evolution.

Mega Evolution requires two items: Mega Stone and Key Stone.

When the Super Stone and the Key Stone resonate, a large amount of energy is released.

Solans wanted to replace the super stone with [∞ Energy], and then let the key stone become the fuse to ignite the "powder barrel", releasing energy that is millions or even hundreds of millions times more powerful than a single super evolution.

It feels a bit like nuclear fusion, where just a tiny bit of matter can release a huge amount of energy.

Solance continued to describe his plan: "We will launch the energy generated by the rocket into space, and use this energy to create a 'distorted wormhole' to transport this super-large meteorite with a diameter of 16 kilometers to a very distant place."

After listening, Bai Zhen also understood what Solance and Daigo wanted to do.

The only thing about this plan that sounds problematic is how many Pokémon have to be sacrificed to open this distortion wormhole.

Bai Zhen asked straight to the point: "How many Pokémon do you plan to sacrifice for this plan?"

It was impossible to tell whether Bai Zhen was happy or angry in his tone, so Daigo hurriedly explained.

"The device used by our Dewen Company is not as extreme as the ultimate weapon 3000 years ago. We plan to extract 10% of the life energy from 5 Pokémon as [∞ Energy]. 5% of the life energy will not affect the health of the Pokémon, and with careful care, the missing part of the life energy can be completely restored!"

Daigo is the champion, and there are many laws in this world to protect Pokémon, so it is impossible for him to act recklessly.

The plan he proposed must have been reviewed by the police and the alliance.

Bai Zhen asked again: "Where do these Pokémon come from?"

"We, Deven and the Hoenn Alliance, are going to allocate 500 billion Alliance Coins as a fund. We are going to recruit trainers and their Pokémon from all over the world who are willing to contribute their life energy. We can ensure that each Pokémon will receive a certain amount of compensation, and we will provide a complete recovery plan for all Pokémon participating in the plan to help these Pokémon recover their consumed life energy for free."

Bai Zhen immediately thought of the most common question after hearing this: "If you give compensation to the Pokémon and trainers who participate in the program, how do you prevent some people from forcibly catching Pokémon for money, and then abandoning those Pokémon after receiving the compensation?"

Daigo: "We will give priority to sending assistance requests to trainers who have Pokémon encyclopedias. If the number is insufficient, we will send requests to the public. You know, there is no way to completely eliminate this phenomenon, not to mention that the situation is very urgent now. We can only try our best to do everything we can."

Bai Zhen also understood what Daigo said very well.

There is absolutely no perfect plan in this world

On one hand, meteors are allowed to hit the planet, causing 99 percent of the life on the planet to die directly.

On the one hand, the plan is to spend a lot of money to recruit volunteers to solve the meteor crisis, but some Pokémon may be treated unfairly.

Any normal person would know what to choose.

Bai Zhen nodded and agreed with Daigo and Solance's plan. He asked, "This plan sounds very good and complete. I wonder what you want me to do in this plan? Do you want me to use my enthusiasm to help you recruit volunteers?"

Daigo shook his head and said, "We don't want you to help recruit volunteers, but we hope you can summon the legendary Pokémon - Arceus. If we can get the help of Arceus, the crisis of the meteorite will naturally be resolved."

Solance also said: "The energy required to open the warp wormhole is beyond our imagination. We originally estimated that the energy of 10 Pokémon would be enough to open it, but now according to our calculations, at least 15 Pokémon's life energy is needed. Moreover, this is the first time we have opened such a large-scale warp wormhole. We can only guarantee that the success rate of this plan is about 60%."

Daigo continued, "There are still 30 days until the meteorite hits our planet. We plan to announce the existence of the meteorite and our plan to the world in 7 days. Before that, if we can get the help of the mythical Pokémon Arceus, everything will be solved smoothly."

"I see."

Bai Zhen completely understood Daigo's thoughts.

Only a few people knew that Bai Zhen had the stone tablet, but many people in the world knew that Bai Zhen had been recognized by Arceus. This was due to Arceus's appearance near the Severe Mountain.

Bai Zhen lowered his head and thought for a moment.

Letting Arceus come forward to smash the meteorite is absolutely feasible.

But this also requires contact.

It is true that he has Arceus's Seal on him, and Arceus also uses the Seal to contact him. With the help of Emrido, he can also contact Arceus in reverse.

But even so, it was not so easy for him to contact Arceus.

Let me give you an example that isn't entirely appropriate.

A true multiverse-level Arceus now looks like he's sitting in a computer room with thousands of computers.

The world that Bai Zhen is in now is one of the computers, and Bai Zhen is an "anti-virus software" installed by Arceus.

If the computer is infected with a virus, Arceus will send his antivirus software to remove the virus.

And if Bai Zhen discovered the 'virus' and called Arceus, his call would be more like a pop-up reminder.

Whether he can be seen by Arceus depends entirely on whether Arceus is looking at the computer he is in at the moment.

If Arceus saw his 'pop-up', he could remove the 'virus' with a click of the mouse, but if he didn't see it, no matter how many pop-ups he had, he couldn't make the computer scream and attract Arceus' attention.

Then can we call upon Arceus's projection to resolve the crisis?

The answer is also no.

The projection did not exist alone, and if Arceus did not notice him, the projection could not move.

Bai Zhen looked at Emrido beside him and asked, "Do you have a way to summon Arceus?"

Emrido shook his head regretfully.

Her situation is very similar to Bai Zhen's. Normally, it is Arceus who contacts them, and Arceus will not show up until the three of them are unable to handle it.

Emrido also shook his head, and Bai Zhen began to think about other solutions.

Can other Pokémon smash meteorites?

In fact, Bai Zhen can get Riko and Tailebagos here with just one phone call.

With the power of Tailebagos, there is a certain probability that the meteorite with a diameter of 16 kilometers will be shattered.

Why is it a certain probability? This is entirely because although Tailebagos has the power to destroy the world, his power is not enough to destroy the world with one blow. Instead, it is difficult for there to be any existence in the world that can stop Tailebagos. As long as Tailebagos is willing, he can destroy the world bit by bit.

The same goes for this meteorite. As long as Tailebagos attacks it multiple times, this meteorite can eventually be shattered.

But there is a fatal point here, that is, Tailebagos does not have the ability to fight in space. Even if he wants to fight against the meteorite, he can only do it on the planet.

Once a meteorite breaks through the atmosphere, it will hit the ground in 15 seconds at most.

Tailebagos can only smash the meteorite within 15 seconds, which is not enough time.

And even if it shattered, those large pieces of meteorite fragments would cause large-scale disasters. At most, it would prevent the destruction of the world, but the entire Kanto region might still be wiped off the map.

Daigo asked Bai Zhen: "Do you have a way to summon Arceus?"

Bai Zhen thought for a moment and said, "I can give it a try."

It is impossible to summon Arceus by ordinary methods, but if he can obtain the third stone tablet and then use the resonance between the stone tablets, there is a chance that he can attract Arceus' attention.

Bai Zhen agreed, and Daigo and Solance both showed expressions of relief.

Their plans will not stop, and for the future of the world, they must be extremely careful with every step they take.

Daigo thanked Bai Zhen sincerely.

He knew very well that the meteorite actually had nothing to do with Bai Zhen now. As long as Bai Zhen went to Yanhuo Village, the disaster in this world would have nothing to do with him at all.

But now Bai Zhen is willing to lend a helping hand, which is a great gesture of friendship.

Daigo is now glad that the messenger of Arceus, who controls the power of the stone tablet, is on the side of the world instead of the evil organization.

Daigo remembered something and said, "I think there is something that you will be very interested in. As a deposit for your help, I can decide to give it to you."

"what?"

"You come with me."

Daigo turned around and led the way for Bai Zhen.

The two left the control center and headed to the research area in the center of the universe.

Through layers of doors, Daigo led Bai Zhen into a research room.

A stone about the size of two fists was placed at the instrument in the center of the laboratory. The surface of the stone was bumpy and it was obviously a meteorite.

Daigo entered the password, and the glass cover outside the instrument opened. Daigo walked forward, took the meteorite, and handed it to Bai Zhen.

"This is the meteorite that your parents once owned. It is called the Gulan Meteorite. Now it has been returned to its original owner."

Bai Zhen took the meteorite. This meteorite was heavier than gold and its density was surprisingly high.

"Gulan meteorite?"

Bai Zhen felt that the name was both familiar and unfamiliar. It was familiar because he seemed to have heard the name before, but it was unfamiliar because he had forgotten where he had heard it.

Daigo explained: "Your parents used this meteorite to invent the [Natural Engine] on your yacht. This meteorite can suppress and activate natural energy. I originally thought that this meteorite could help with the current situation, but after studying it, I found that it doesn't seem to be of any help."

The parents that Daigo mentioned were his original body's parents. Bai Zhen's memory of those parents had become a little fuzzy.

Bai Zhen also directly accepted the meteorite that Daigo sent.

Although he didn't know the specific use of this meteorite, but it was related to the natural engine of his yacht, so this meteorite was worth accepting.

As for why this meteorite is in Daigo's hands, the reason is very simple.

The original owner's parents both died, and his own business lost cohesion and began to decline until it could no longer operate. Naturally, it would start liquidation while in debt.

As the company's property, this meteorite will of course be sold, and as a stone collector, Daigo will definitely spend money to buy it when he learns that this meteorite is on sale.

Daigo was able to buy it with money, but Bai Zhen still needs to thank Daigo.

If Daigo hadn't paid for it and paid off his debts, he would have had to sell his yacht and island.

Bai Zhen put away the meteorite and said, "Thank you for your gift. I will try my best to call Arceus."

"Then please!"
