I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 358 The Feasibility of Perfect Clones

Orochimaru was the most enthusiastic in responding to this event.

After all, he had long suspected that Uchiha Hikaru could travel to other worlds, and for a long time before, he had been exchanging letters with Dr. Brief through Uchiha Hikaru, discussing their research topics. Now that he had the opportunity to meet him in person, he naturally couldn't miss it.

Dr. Brief and Dr. Gro had no objections.

Then there's Dr. Fashion from the world of Akame ga Kill!.

This guy has actually been under Uchiha Hikari's control for quite a while, but she doesn't pay much attention to him usually, only glancing at him casually when she goes to see Donghai Yunlong. However, he is also an expert in biology, and since he was marked with the "Eight Thousand Spears" seal by Uchiha Hikari, his loyalty is not an issue, so he was brought in to make up the numbers.

In addition, there's Tamayo and Kikyo.

These are all the participants in this exchange meeting.

That morning.

Uchiha Hikaru, along with Bulma, Esdeath, and the others, arrived at Vegapunk's research institute early in the morning. They then made several trips to other worlds to bring the scientists over one by one. Bulma introduced them to Vegapunk, who was their host, and then invited them to sit down in the room.

"...Is this the other world that Master Hikaru spoke of? It's certainly a landscape completely different from the ninja world."

Orochimaru looked around and spoke in a hoarse voice.

Dr. Brief, standing beside him, remained calm, merely adjusting his glasses: "Hmm, it is indeed a beautiful island... Nice to meet you. You must be Dr. Orochimaru, the one I've been corresponding with?"

"Oh, are you Dr. Brief?"

Orochimaru paused for a moment, then his attitude immediately became humble. He bowed politely to Brief, saying, "You're too kind. Just call me Orochimaru. I've wanted to visit you in person for a long time, and I'm so glad I'm finally able to. Regarding the 'gene editing technology' mentioned in your last letter, I have a few questions I'd like to ask you..."

If Minato Namikaze were here right now, he would probably find Orochimaru a complete stranger.

After all, it's extremely rare to see Orochimaru in this state in the Naruto world. Even when he was still learning ninjutsu in Konoha, he probably didn't show this much respect to his mentor, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Dr. Brief didn't care about these formalities; he simply listened to Orochimaru's question and began to explain while pondering the question.

the other side.

Dr. Gro also chatted briefly with Tamayo and Yushiro, whom he was quite familiar with.

Before coming to the world of One Piece, Tamayo spent about half a year in Dr. Gero's research institute, where she was, in a sense, his assistant and student. Therefore, Dr. Gero's words at this moment carried a hint of testing, and Tamayo patiently answered his questions one by one.

As for Dr. Fashion...

He knew the fewest people here; besides Uchiha Hikaru, there was only Esdeath. But seeing the latter's icy expression, he didn't dare to go up and greet her.

Vegapunk, however, approached him with his first clone, Shakyamuni, and started chatting.

At this point, Uchiha Hikaru couldn't get a word in edgewise.

She had initially considered turning this "exchange meeting" into an academic conference, with everyone giving a brief presentation, but upon reflection, it seemed unnecessary. After all, the individuals present were top talents from various worlds, possessing depth and breadth of thought far beyond the reach of ordinary people. Conventional academic exchange formats would only create constraints for them; it would be better for them to speak freely.

therefore.

Uchiha Hikaru exchanged a few words with Bulma, left a shadow clone there to help keep an eye on things, and then returned to the "Blue Planet" with Esdeath to begin their daily gravity training.

……

The "Science Exchange" continued over the next few days.

The research project progressed from the initial "improvement direction of the demonization agent 3.0" to "S cell culture route" and then to "technical ideas for perfect clones".

During this exchange, Whitebeard and Erii's conditions underwent a comprehensive expert consultation.

Just as Uchiha Hikaru had predicted.

The combined efforts of so many top scientists have resulted in an effect far greater than the sum of its parts.

In less than a week, Dr. Brief and his team, based on a review and coordination of existing research findings, advanced the "Demon Transformation Agent" from its theoretical stage of "3.0" to "7.0" in one fell swoop. At the same time, they developed no fewer than twelve treatment plans for Whitebeard and Erii, including three plans with a cure rate of over 99%. Finally, they also completed the theoretical demonstration of the "Perfect Active Substance".

The so-called "perfect active substance" is a perfect active substance that acts on the gene level, synthesized by integrating and analyzing substances from different worlds, such as "S cells," Hashirama cells, Oni King cells, the blood of the Dragon King and Devil Fruit owners, and even the genes of the Lunar race, and deconstructing their underlying mechanisms of action.

In theory, this active substance could be used to cure most known diseases, and even genetic defects, without causing rejection.

It can be said to be an even more overpowered elixir than the Senzu Bean.

but……

As you can tell from the name, this kind of thing is probably quite difficult to implement.

[Anonymous: Is this kind of thing... really possible? It seems a bit far-fetched.]

[Bulma: Well, theoretically it's possible, but in practice, we'll definitely encounter many problems. After all, these materials come from species in different worlds, and even if it's theoretically possible to synthesize them, there's no guarantee there won't be any side effects. But with so many scientists trying together, achieving 20% ​​effectiveness shouldn't be a problem.]

Even 20% would be enough to cure Whitebeard and Erii.

In addition...

The new clone of Minato Namikaze is almost settled.

Uchiha Hikaru originally only wanted to try adding some "S cells" to his clone. But now, after hearing Bulma relay the results of Dr. Brief and the others' discussion, she couldn't even imagine what kind of thing these scientists would ultimately clone...

Who knows, maybe a Naruto world version of Minato Broly will suddenly appear?

The research on Warhead Island is proceeding in an orderly manner.

During this time, Uchiha Hikaru and Esdeath found the territory of the last Yonko in the pirate world, a place they had never visited before.

All nations.
