"Professor, is that egg... really okay?"
Beside Professor Birch, a youth with black square-framed glasses asked suspiciously.
He was asking about the Snivy's egg in Whitley's hand.Professor Birch also knew what he meant.
"The hatching date of that egg was estimated by both you and Gold, it's reasonable that it shouldn't have deviated so much. And I've done the stabilizing energy source experiment you mentioned."
"How did you do the experiment?"
Professor Birch stood in front of the research bench looking at the egg on the bench, recording the parameters of the egg displayed on the screen on one side.
Although computers can now store this data, and even complete data processing in an instant if they allow Rotom and Porygon to assist, it is comparable to supercomputers, after all, Rotom and Porygon are equivalent to computers in their own right, so it is not the mainframe computer that is really at work in the computer, but rather Porygon and Rotom.
The transmission of the data across the space is also very convenient, as well. Porygon can directly climb along the network cable...
If you think of it this way, if you play a game and pit your teammates against each other, and your teammates just happen to have a Porygon, then there is a real possibility that you will be beaten by the Porygon along the network cable or even the wireless network...
Just kidding, Porygon is not the Pokémon that you can just get, this kind of Pokémon each has a number, the manufacturing method is also guarded by the League as a top secret, it is basically impossible for the outside world to appear a Porygon that is not under the control of the League.
In a certain sense, the harm that Porygon can cause to the League, and even to the whole of the human society is really not weaker than any of the gods.
Professor Birch is not unable to apply for a Porygon to assist in his research. Recording the growth of eggs in writing is his habit and his insistence. Recording the growth of one's own children is never boring. It is because of this most basic love of egg hatching and Pokémon that Professor Birch is where he is today.
Or rather every successful person in this world has their own persistence and love.
"How did you do the experiment on stabilizing the energy source?"
Professor Birch looked back at his assistant suspiciously.
"I was hatching Eevee, I bought a tank of high quality Water Stone and made sure it came from a mine. Then buried the egg in the Water Stone. Then a nutrient solution with Water Energy and Water Nutrients was poured over it, and then the egg began to hatch."
The assistant said in a serious voice.
The corner of Professor Birch's mouth twitched, good guy a tank of high-quality Water Stone, water tanks but if it's not a small fish tank, that's a huge expense...
"And the result?"
The assistant helplessly smiled bitterly, "That Eevee's awakening power is fire attribute!"
The assistant's tone carried a hint of sadness...
"Eh... so what happened to those Water Stones of yours?"
Professor Birch changed the topic in a raw manner.
Speaking of this, the assistant's face reddened and cleared his throat, "During that period of time Water Stone went up in price, so I got out of all of them, and then I made a little bit of money, and bought a house near Indigo Plateau..."
Birch: ...
What a great way to make a a 'billion' points...
"You're still... quite financially savvy..." Professor Birch looked the assistant up and down, mentally He wondered if he was a bit short of research funds recently...
The assistant was furious at Professor Birch's look, and hurriedly said: ''Answer me first, Professor! Why did my experiment with the Fae energy source fail."
"The hell if it doesn't fail, Nagayashi you guy..." a researcher with a cocktail head full of stubble and a dirty white lab coat in front of the research bench on the other side of the room spoke up, "You don't have enough energy strength ah the quantity goes up, but your Water Stone doesn't provide higher quality energy to the Eevee in the egg."
He fumbled on the table with his left hand for a moment, then touched the coffee on the side and brought it up to take a sip, his right hand tapping away on the keyboard, both eyes staring intently at the data pulsing on the screen.
Clearly this was also a talent capable of multi-tasking.
"The energy provided in the Water Stone is just a primer, the usual thing that really makes Eevee undergo evolution is the energy accumulated in the body. The extreme Water Stone does have the effect of improving the quality of the energy, but you can't generalize the efficiency of active and passive absorption... The energy that Eevee has to absorb can only be from an energy source that's even more advanced than the extreme Water Stone..."
The corners of his mouth twitched: "Perfect Evolution Stone? Isn't it a bit too expensive, and the amount can't be too small..."
Applause erupted, and Professor Birch looked at the scruffy researcher appreciatively, "Teppei you're still thinking so clearly, but can you next time not hit the keyboard with the hand that's finished scratching your head, or at least wash your head before saying, your keyboard is almost wrapped..."
"Ahh, I don't mind..." Teppei was full of unconcern.
Professor Birch had turned to look at a confused Nagayashi, then smiled, "That's right, what Teppei just said is why you failed. And the solution he said is also feasible..."
Nagayashi scratched his head, seemingly not thinking too hard.
After a long time, he looked up with a steely gaze and said, "Okay! I'll go buy a vat of Perfect Water Stone tomorrow for the experiment!"
"Cough cough cough!"
"Damn it..."
Both Professor Birch and Teppei didn't tense up for a moment...
The price of a Perfect Water Stone had always been high, and those who had it rarely took it out to sell. What a Perfect Water Stone could bring to a Pokémon that relied on Water Stone to evolve was more than just a simple increase in strength.
A Perfect Water Stone could raise the upper and lower limits of a Pokémon's strength...it could be called a transformation.
So naturally, the price of this thing was just out of this world.
"What's wrong?" Nagayashi scratched his head in confusion.
Teppei was silent for a moment, then silently went back to hammering out the data.
Professor Birch also shook his head in silence.
Nagayashi looked puzzled, but he continued to ask: "Then how do you know that the alien stable energy source can change the innate compatibility attributes of Pokémon?"
Hearing these words, Professor Birch raised his head to look at the ceiling, a look of reminiscence appearing in his eyes.
The memory of that green songbird-like little guy, the egg of the Oshawott that was given to him by the little guy that shone with pink psychic light, and the Oshawott born at the end of the Dao that was able to use psychic at birth flashed together.
"It was just a mistake."
Professor Birch smiled and shook his head before saying.
The corner of Nagayashi's mouth tugged as he thought to himself, 'You didn't say anything, did you?'
Teppei on one side also collapsed in disappointment, then proceeded to knock the data away as if nothing had happened.
And so peace returned to Professor Birch's research room.
