Chapter 141: Macro-Control Development of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit — Universal Gravitation
Skye and Jessica's transformation left the two girls incredibly excited.
Afterward, they also joined the daily training of the two warbands. Of course, for the time being, it was impossible for their daily training volume to catch up with their seniors.
Fortunately, since they were still feeling their way forward, their progress would be extremely fast.
After all, the two warbands had been injected with the first-generation serum, while the two of them had received the third generation. Not only was the initial strengthening effect far greater, their potential would also be excavated very quickly.
Catching up to the two warbands was only a matter of time.
Before they caught up, however, they were still the little sisters.
An environment was often the easiest thing to subtly change a person.
After the two girls joined training, they were also influenced by the training atmosphere of the two warbands. From the start, they began pushing themselves too, and ambition gradually grew in them.
They also wanted to become stronger, and they also wanted to outmatch their seniors to become the strongest soldiers and pillars under the BOSS's command.
As for the two warbands, after awakening two types of Haki, Reacher, Natasha, and several other high-level members discussed things and revised the daily training routine.
Now that they had awakened Haki, they had to spend some time training it.
The best method was the 2-2-1 pattern: training, training, battle, training, training, battle.
Training was accumulation, while battle was the moment that released and excavated that accumulation.
Unlike the sparring nature of the past, their battles were now real fights, the kind where they completely went for the kill. They would not stop until one side was heavily injured and unable to keep fighting.
This confidence came from Needy's Heal-Heal Fruit, as well as the equally improved logistics medical team.
Needy would use her ability in advance to extract Blood Donation Dandelions from the two warbands at fixed intervals, while Matthew had taken another round of advantage from Kamar-Taj.
Using magical materials obtained from Kamar-Taj, he had specially created a storage space inside the base.
This place was filled with magical barriers, allowing the Blood Donation Dandelions, which originally could not be stored for long periods, to remain preserved. When they needed to use them, they could simply take them out.
As long as Needy was still on the island base, she could actively summon them at any time. After all, there was a connection between the Blood Donation Dandelions and her.
As long as the distance was not too great, she could summon them to her side quickly.
Needy was also preparing to start learning magic.
She felt that this method was not convenient enough. Matthew intended to form a Magic warband and planned to appoint Needy as the Commander of that group.
What made Needy bug-like was her trait of one body with two souls.
When she studied magical knowledge earlier, she had not been studying alone. Aside from Needy herself, Jennifer inside her body had also been studying.
In fact, signs of this had already appeared from the moment Needy came into contact with meditation.
When Needy meditated, Jennifer did the same. So Jennifer's soul consciousness was also continuously improving. And among magic, there was astral projection.
Commonly known as the soul leaving the body, this did not require magical energy. It depended on the strength of one's mind and soul.
As long as she wished, Jennifer could completely appear in soul form.
Of course, she could not go too far away from Needy. Without a body, she probably could not walk in the soul dimension for long periods.
But Jennifer was already very satisfied.
In soul form, aside from not having a fixed physical body, she could still touch people. Once Needy learned magic, she would also be able to see her soul, meaning the meeting between the two sisters was not far off.
Everything was flourishing.
With his subordinates making progress, Matthew naturally would not fall behind in his own learning.
After everything had fully gotten on track, after teaching two types of Haki and arranging the preliminary matters for forming the magic warband, Matthew began his own daily studies again.
Most of his time was spent living in Moscow and learning related knowledge from Ivan Vanko.
However, he learned a little too quickly. With his photographic memory, he could soon memorize much of the knowledge completely. Combined with his powerful comprehension and analytical ability, he rapidly understood and digested it all.
With Ivan, a genius scientist, explaining the key points, the process became even faster.
A super brain was truly convenient.
Ivan had already grown numb to it.
Fortunately, someone as intelligent and wise as him had already joined Matthew's command, so he was not worried about his own future.
His father's physical condition had clearly improved.
Matthew had told him that as long as Ivan made enough contributions, he intended to inject Ivan with a certain kind of drug. Not only could it repair all the injuries in his body...
It seemed it could also make him healthier, younger, and increase his lifespan by quite a lot.
Ivan was no fool. As someone who had once been a major figure in the field of technology, he had learned many secrets from his old man that ordinary people would never know.
He had guessed what drug Matthew was referring to.
His heart was extremely excited, and at the same time, he felt more and more that this young BOSS of his was unfathomable.
To think that Matthew had even created the serum that had once forged America's first and most famous super soldier. From his confident tone, it should be the side-effect-free version and capable of mass production.
With all these factors combined, Ivan's originally unruly mentality slowly began to change.
A mere transaction would not have made him submit.
But an unknown, mysterious, and overwhelmingly powerful BOSS created a gap that words could not describe, making Ivan obedient and well-behaved.
To prove his value, Ivan decided to create that thing.
The technology that had once caused his father and Howard Stark to fall out.
The Arc Reactor.
A technology far beyond its time.
He had the technical blueprints. It was only because of limitations in materials and money that he had been unable to conduct deeper research in that direction.
Now that he lacked neither funding nor materials, Ivan believed he would soon be able to present his BOSS with a great gift.
Energy.
It had always been the most crucial thing in human development.
From the era of firewood, to the steam era of coal, to the era of oil and internal combustion engines, then to the widespread use of electricity, and now to the multi-energy era of hydropower, nuclear power, wind power, photovoltaics, and more.
Every leap between eras was inseparable from the foundation of energy.
Ivan believed that the Arc Reactor was the beginning of the next energy era.
As for Matthew, he was not very interested in what Ivan wanted to do and did not pay it much special attention, because he knew very well that Ivan's value was not limited to this.
In a harsh environment, he had single-handedly built an Arc Reactor and a suit of armor that had nearly written off Tony Stark.
This rough-looking guy was absolutely an excellent and outstanding scientist.
That was why Matthew had taken Ivan in.
Aside from that, Matthew knew that as the era developed, genetic technology, nanotechnology, energy technology, and more would all erupt at some point.
And that point of eruption would be within Matthew's own team.
Matthew only needed to wait.
Wait for the flowers to bloom and bear fruit.
After squeezing Ivan's knowledge dry, Matthew also began the deep development of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
The first step was macro-control.
Boom!
In Moscow inside the Mirror Dimension, while the residents of real-world Moscow knew nothing at all, within another mirrored and replicated Moscow space, a terrifying natural disaster was erupting.
A devastating calamity instantly destroyed the entire city of Moscow.
