Chapter 658 Working Hard to Monetize Skills

Without stopping, Natsume plunged headlong into the laboratory.

The lights in the laboratory have never been completely turned off since then.

Time flew by amidst the hum of the instruments and the clatter of the keyboard.

The sunrise and sunset, the changing of the seasons outside the window, all seemed to have nothing to do with this secluded room.

Natsume was completely immersed in the ocean of data that millions of "Nightmare Researchers" had obtained by sacrificing their "lives".

This work is far more arduous and tedious than imagined.

Millions of experimental data, deduction paths, failure cases, and occasional "flashes of inspiration" generated in the nightmare space piled up haphazardly in the depths of his consciousness, like countless broken puzzle pieces.

He needs to use amazing patience and rigorous logic to sort out, classify, verify and integrate these fragments one by one.

The first step is to assess the reliability of the results of these "dream experiments".

Most of the data only yielded preliminary, conceptual results, and there is still a long way to go before practical application.

Even so, they were like lighthouses in the darkness, pointing Natsume in the right direction and at least proving that a certain technological path was theoretically feasible.

More importantly, these data indirectly confirm that many of Natsume's previous core conjectures and basic theories were correct.

Even if a few data points are contradictory or obviously wrong, Natsume can quickly analyze whether it is a misunderstanding by the dream demon or an oversight during memory implantation by retracing the corresponding "nightmare scene", and use telekinesis simulation to quickly verify and correct it.

This is equivalent to conducting millions of parallel, low-cost proof-of-concept experiments, an efficiency unprecedented in history.

Once the reference value of the data is confirmed, the next step is to systematize and theorize it, transforming it into specific experimental plans, technical drawings, and theoretical derivations that can be understood and implemented by real-world research teams.

This is an extremely demanding process.

Natsume needs to translate those "dream logics" that are full of leaps, symbols, and even some absurdities into rigorous language that conforms to the rules of reality and engineering specifications.

He often sits for days on end, repeatedly deducing and refining a seemingly whimsical energy circuit concept that originated from the "inspiration" of a nightmare, before he can turn it into a set of workable, step-by-step research and development procedures.

And so, the laboratory became his whole world.

Energy cubes and milk maintain the body's most basic functions.

"Pooh!"

"I've told you so many times, I don't like energy cubes!"

Natsume kicked the guy with the middle parting hair who was pouring energy cubes into his rice bowl with a big kick.

For some reason, the guy with the middle parting has been spending a lot of time with him lately, even eating and sleeping together.

The other party claimed to be the God of Sleep, who could bring Natsume better sleep.

"Pikachu..."

"7

The man with the middle parting covered his buttocks, then ran inside with a smirk on his face.

"Pikachu?" Want to sleep?

The person with the middle parting looks forward to asking countless questions every day.

"No." Natsume, with huge dark circles under his eyes, remained expressionless.

Outside the door, Jiaozi and Cattleya watched this scene with concern.

"Mr. Natsume, is he alright?"

"Why did it suddenly turn out like this?"

During this month, Natsume drank milk when he was thirsty, when he was hungry, and when he was extremely sleepy... He would take short naps in front of the data screen.

His face was always pale from exhaustion, the dark circles under his eyes were getting deeper and deeper, and his once sharp golden pupils were often bloodshot.

But the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Each time he compiled a complete and feasible technical module, and each time he verified a potential path to the "Rotom Mech," the excitement and sense of accomplishment he felt were enough to offset all his fatigue.

When Natsume finally converted the last set of data on "Taijing Energy Leg Joint Stability Simulation" into a thick stack of annotated design drawings, he was suddenly surprised to find that two whole months had passed.

"Click."

The laboratory's alloy doors were officially opened for the first time in sixty days.

The blinding sunlight made Natsume squint instinctively, and he shielded his forehead with the back of his hand, adjusting to the long-lost natural light.

He had lost a lot of weight, and his once-fitting white coat looked somewhat loose. His hair was messy, and stubble had appeared. He exuded the exhaustion of long hours without sleep, but his spine remained ramrod straight.

Waiting outside was the core research team led by Dr. Yew.

When they saw Natsume come out, their faces showed relief and concern.

"Dr. Natsume! You're finally out!" Yew rushed forward, her voice filled with excitement.

Natsume was tidying up inside, while the others were testing outside.

Rotom-in-the-Ball, Rotom-in-the-Bicycle, Rotom-in-the-Motorcycle... these Pokémon are incredibly powerful in the civilian market!

It could practically propel human society to another level!

Almost everyone involved in the work over the past two months has developed a profound respect for Natsume.

"Are you alright? Are you feeling okay?"

As Dr. Yew looked at Natsume, he couldn't help but think of his student who was so engrossed in studying that he forgot to eat and sleep.

Natsume waved his hand, his voice a little hoarse but carrying a sense of relief and barely suppressed joy: "I'm fine. Sorry to keep everyone waiting."

He gestured for Jiaozi to bring out more than a dozen fully loaded portable hard drives and paper file boxes, each labeled with a different number and encryption level.

"Here," Natsume said solemnly, pointing to the heavy fruits of his labor.

"These are preliminary research materials and development suggestions I've compiled over the past two months regarding the potential applications of Rotom technology in the future civilian sector."

He deliberately emphasized the words "civilian sector".

"The content is very complex, covering dozens of areas such as energy, transportation, healthcare, communications, and construction. I hope you can establish a special task force to prioritize in-depth research and technological breakthroughs in these areas."

Natsume's gaze swept over each researcher, his tone sincere and full of expectation.

"This will be a long-term project that benefits society and changes the world, requiring our dedication and steady progress."

Looking at the mountain of documents, the group, including the yew tree, felt both the daunting task ahead and the excitement of Natsume's grand vision.

They solemnly accepted the important task and expressed their determination to do their best.

However, they did not know that what Natsume gave them was far more than just "a vision for civilian technology".

Among this vast amount of technical data, Natsume had already cleverly disassembled, hidden, and packaged every core module, every special material, and every energy system of his envisioned "Rotom" into seemingly independent civilian technology research and development projects.

Researching high-density energy batteries could be a preliminary study on the miniaturization of the mecha's energy core.

Developing new composite materials could be the foundation for lightweighting mech armor.

Optimizing the remote communication protocol might be the prelude to the mecha spirit connection system.

Developing intelligent construction robots could very well be part of the automation of future mecha production lines.

Natsume did not reveal his ultimate goal to anyone.

He guided the entire research team to proceed step by step under the banner of "developing civilian Rotom technology".

Every breakthrough they achieve in these "civilian" projects, and every piece of experimental data they accumulate, will eventually be silently incorporated into the design blueprint of the Rotom mech in Natsume's mind.

This is a long-term, secret research and development project hidden in the sunlight.

With his wisdom and the "spark" he plundered from the abyss of nightmares, Natsume paved a seemingly ordinary yet direct path to the pinnacle for the ultimate Pokémon of the future.

After giving all the instructions, Natsume let out a long sigh of relief.

A wave of intense fatigue washed over me.

Finally... I can get a good night's sleep.

"Middle parting..."

""

"Pikachu!"

Upon hearing this, the man with the middle parting, who was eating rice, immediately ran over excitedly.

Natsume watched silently as the other person led him into a deeper sleep.

Strangely enough, the guy with the middle part seemed to be doing something in his main world while he was sleeping... quite actively.

But it doesn't matter anymore; Natsume doesn't have the energy to care right now.

He just wanted to rest.
