Chapter 179 Intimacy Conjecture

...

In an office of the Eevee Evolution Laboratory.

Sakuragi is holding a folder in his hand, with a serious and excited expression, and the tip of the pen writes some key information and points on the paper from time to time.

Natsu, who was sitting across from him, was similar, giving scientific research the highest attitude and rigor.

He and Sakuragi have been like this for an hour.

"putting it that way, do you think that Pokémon and human beings have been getting along for a long time, based on tacit understanding, cooperation, temperament and other aspects, theoretically there should be some kind of relationship that we can't see. Or is there a connection?

And this special bond can not only allow Pokémon to affect people, but people can also affect Pokémon. This hypothesis is very constructive. I remember some researchers I have tried research in this area, but in the end I failed to reach an accurate conclusion because of the lack of the most crucial argument."

When entering this state of exploration and research on Pokémon, Sakuragi became very focused.

Natsu couldn't answer some of the questions and insights that were often raised.

After all, a lot of what Natsu knows about Pokémon comes from his previous life, and he goes deep into the details. Although he has been studying for a while, with a senior researcher like Sakuragi, he will soon become a Compared with the professors , it is still a lot worse.

Fortunately, he can more or less use some tricky conjectures to evade or "answer".

Natsu nods.

"There's really no good way to prove this connection, but as far as I know, most Pokémon can learn the 'Return' move, and we can start with that."

Sakuragi lowered his eyes and thought a little.

"What about specifics?"

"Actually, I have a rather bold hypothesis, that is, the connection between Pokémon and Trainer is actually quantifiable."

"Quantify?"

"Yes, I call this bond 'intimacy' privately, and the 'Return' move is the best proof of that intimacy."

". Intimacy. What about specifics?"

"We all know that the 'Return' move was originally considered the formidable power of this move, based on Pokémon's gratitude to the Trainer, so It's called 'Return'."

Natsu said, drawing on paper with a pen.

"Make a simple conclusion hypothesis. The formidable power of the Return move is variable and based on intimacy, so the higher the intimacy, the higher the formidable power of the move. Is it possible to reverse that? Come and deduce that the higher the formidable power of the Return move, the higher the intimacy between Pokémon and the Trainer, as long as it is quantified, the existence of intimacy can be confirmed."

This is the most basic The hypothetical conclusion holds and reverses the idea.

Natsu wrote a number on the paper.

100.

"If the upper limit of intimacy is 100, then the Return move has the highest formidable power.

At the same time, let the Pokémon use another move with a determined formidable power value to perform sideways. Contrast, accurately calculate the formidable power of the Return move when the intimacy reaches the full value, and then let a Pokémon with a less intimacy use Return, continue the horizontal comparison, and so on."

Sakuragi nod .

This operation is not difficult except for letting Pokémon learn the move and fixing a few basic values ​​that cannot be changed.

"But even if the exact value of intimacy is given, it still lacks the most crucial step in the argument." Sakuragi asked another question.

Natsu smiled.

Others may not be able to argue, but he happens to know some intimacy values ​​that require intimacy to evolve Pokémon.

"This requires you to trouble Mr. Sakuragi."

"en?"

"Eevee is the best Pokémon. The argument of Pokémon.

Mr. Sakuragi, you can cultivate four to five Eevee at the same time, or more, give the same conditions and cultivation, use 'Return' every day to test the change of intimacy value, see when Eevee evolve when the intimacy reaches a certain value?

If each one has evolved and the value is the same, then not only the new evolutionary conjecture of Ibrahimovic has been proved, 'intimacy' The existence of this value can also be demonstrated, one move, two gains."

After a short pause, Natsu continued: "Even, Mr. Sakuragi, you can try to develop a special test The intimacy instrument, I believe, will be the gospel of the majority of Trainers."

Listening to Natsu's words, Sakuragi's eyes became brighter and brighter.

As for the assumptions and conjectures made by Natsu, what if they are wrong? These he simply did not consider.

Pokémon research is inherently a process with lots of mistakes leading to successful conclusions, the point is to have direction, and it doesn't matter if you're wrong.

But soon, he showed a tangled color again.

"'Dodo', you asked me to carry out this experiment? This is your thesis and conjecture, I am....."

Isn't it arrogant?

Inciting other people's themes and conjectures is also considered a taboo in the research community, neither too big nor too small.

It's okay to say if others are broad-minded, but if they are narrow-minded, they may hold grudges for the rest of their lives.

Natsu shrugged.

"Mr. Sakuragi, do you see me as someone who is capable of raising so many Eevee? Besides, I can't get so many Eevee, and the process is not short."

This is the truth.

Natsu couldn't keep up with the income and expenses of raising three Pokémon, let alone raising so many Ibrahimovic.

Sakuragi hesitated.

To be honest, he thinks Natsu's conjectures and thesis are very feasible, but he is not the kind of villain who is greedy for other people's achievements.

After pondering for a long time, Sakuragi made a decision.

"Okay! Then regardless of whether the final result is successful or not, I will write your name together with my name, and I will not pay all research remuneration and Alliance rewards after success, it belongs to you , I'm just acting on on my behalf."

Sakuragi's attitude is very firm.

"I"

"If you don't agree, I will never touch this research."

Natsu corner of the mouth twitched.

'What I want to say has been said by you, what should I say? '

His goal is actually very simple, writing papers to make money.

Research is too time-consuming and more expensive, and he will never touch it.

Besides, he has no degree, no fame, and no qualifications, and the credibility of his thesis is not high.

The last article was also recognized by so many people because of the approval given by Sakuragi.

The ideal state is for him to join a research and put forward some constructive opinions and suggestions based on some of his own foresighted cognition, mix a signature, and mix some funds.

Now that he didn't even say anything, Sakuragi gave him everything he wanted.

How can this be rejected?

Yes, of course.

Natsu said "reluctantly": "Okay."

Hearing him give in, Sakuragi let out a long sigh and laughed, "Then it's settled. , I will now write a paper on the 'intimacy' conjecture, and update the data and conclusions daily."

"In such a hurry?"

"Research, there is no time to waste" Sakuragi lowered his head and began to list what they had exchanged before, as well as the outline of the paper.

"That. I actually want to ask, can Mr. Sakuragi help me get a degree? A bachelor's degree is fine."

Sakuragi lifts the head in surprise, "You Don't have a degree?"

Natsu: "."

Is this something surprising?

"I don't dare to say anything else, but as long as the 'bachelor' degree is sent out, there should be no problem." Sakuragi assured.

"Many thanks."

"By the way, I don't know your real name yet. For something like a degree, you can't use a pseudonym or a nickname."

After slightly hesitating, Natsu said slowly: "Natsu, my name is Natsu."

Tightly said: "But I hope that when you sign your name, Mr. Sakuragi, you will use the name 'dodo'."
