Chapter 849: Fairy Transport Tech!_1
Father of the Gorgeous Tournament… Father of Mega Evolution…
Next, might there be a title for the Father of the Poké Ball?
Just thinking about the birth of Special Poké Balls, Fang Yuan couldn't help but brainstorm.
But let's forget that title for now, Dr. Ron is still the most incredible.
Moreover.
Fang Yuan wasn't really interested in Special Poké Ball manufacturing technology.
For the current Trainer Domain, Special Poké Balls are nice to have but not essential.
Having them is best, but not having them doesn't really have an impact.
Right now.
The one thing Fang Yuan most wanted to do was to take advantage of this opportunity and, in the process of researching new types of Poké Balls, simultaneously work out Pokéball Teleportation Technology.
He had coveted this technology for a long time.
Over such a long period, Fang Yuan had almost clarified his thoughts.
The birth of Pokéball Teleportation Technology was actually a result found during a "teleportation accident".
It's also documented in Satoshi Tajiri's official novel "Pokémon: The Animation".
A kid, playing a prank, accidentally activated the fax function of a copier, causing a Poké Ball to be teleported to his father's company, but the Pokémon was nowhere to be found.
Subsequent research by some researchers showed that, when loaded with a Pokémon, the Poké Ball was endowed with communication and transmission capabilities.
The Poké Ball itself does not possess the ability to teleport, but the Pokémon itself has the ability to convert itself and the special container that holds it into digital signals.
Any Pokémon... has this ability.
It's just that the conditions are special, and it's difficult to achieve.
Turning Pokémon into digital information, it's just like Digimon...
3D Dragon.
It is a typical example of a Pokémon with this kind of ability.
After all, the 3D Dragon can also transform into a digital signal and move within the network.
But it's worth mentioning that the 3D Dragon is a man-made Pokémon, created by Dr. Akihabara of the Pokémon World, who is also the ultimate inventor of the transmission system.
From this, it's not hard to see that the birth of the 3D Dragon is intricately linked to the invention of the transmission system.
On Earth, the 3D Dragon was discovered as a wild Pokémon in a Secret location, and no one knew it was a man-made Pokémon.
Its ability to operate in cyberspace was just seen as a Racial Talent, just like Rotom's ability to enter electrical appliances.
For that reason, nobody thought that the 3D Dragon's talent wasn't really its own.
All Pokémon have this talent; it's just that the humans who created it greatly amplified this talent in it.
Because this was not known, Earth humans used the 3D Dragon just as a hacker, maintaining network security, and stealing secrets.
They never considered that it could also be used to research the Pokémon Transport System.
If Fang Yuan were to research the Transport System later, he would definitely get a 3D Dragon for his studies.
With this information, Fang Yuan's subsequent research can avoid quite a few detours.
Others start from scratch, relying on accidental discoveries, but he is reasoning in reverse.
"In the process of researching Special Poké Balls, strive to understand more about Pokémon and Poké Balls to lay a solid foundation for studying the Pokémon Transport System!"
In Fang Yuan's view, the discovery of Pokéball Teleportation Technology is also an indispensable research result driving the third wave of the Trainer Tide on Earth.
When a Trainer can summon all of their Pokémon instantly anywhere with a network, the efficiency of Pokémon breeding by Trainers will absolutely be greatly improved.
Besides, if some regions were stricken by disaster due to the arrival of a Secret location and did not have the capability to withstand it, Pokémon Teleportation Technology could save countless lives.
It would allow Pokémon to arrive instantly from far away, ahead of Trainers, to help local people resist disasters.
As a result, the strategic value of the Trainer Association establishing Spirit Centers everywhere would also be maximized.
Anyway, Pokéball Teleportation Technology is a very convenient technology, and no Trainer would probably go without using it.
When the day comes, if Space Battleship Tactics really came to fruition, Fang Yuan definitely wouldn't be running around with dozens or hundreds of Poké Balls.
The value of teleportation is, to those top-level Trainers who breed a large number of Pokemon, perhaps not much less significant than Mega Evolution.
In Fang Yuan's view, teleportation technology was even more meaningful than Mega Evolution, Energy Blocks, or Fossil Resurgence.
After all, the invention of the Poké Ball (Dr. Nishinomori), the invention of teleportation technology (Doctor Akihabara), and the establishment of the Pokemon sciences (Dr. Oak).
These three phases almost symbolize the epoch-making turn in the game and anime where the Trainer system was thoroughly perfected, the foundation of everything.
In comparison, Earth, having established the field of Pokemon sciences and possessing Poké Balls, only lacked teleportation technology compared to the Pokémon World.
So rather than pushing forward the Gorgeous Tournament, Energy Blocks, or Mega Evolution, Fang Yuan felt it would be more interesting to develop the teleportation system.
Like the Fossil Resuscitation Device, he would leave those existing things for other researchers to tinker with.
He was preparing to create the next miracle.
............
However, for Fang Yuan at present, Poké Ball teleportation technology was still far off; he would have to take it one step at a time.
Right now, he was focused on researching Special Poké Balls.
That is, Poké Ball crafting centered on Apricorns.
Just one Special Poké Ball or one transmission system wasn't impactful enough for Fang Yuan.
Announcing both research findings together, now that would be exciting.
The art of Apricorn crafting, which was shown in the anime and involved the cut main storyline of the GS Ball, left a deep impression on Fang Yuan.
Regarding the process of making Poké Balls, Fang Yuan remembered it roughly went...
1. High-temperature processing, heating the appropriate Apricorn in a forging furnace.
2. Forging, after the Apricorn reaches a certain temperature, it's taken out and hammered.
3. Quenching in the special Slowpoke Well Water.
4. Reheating in the furnace.
It seems simple...
But it's not that simple.
The forging process surely is extremely complex; otherwise, it wouldn't have been phased out by time.
It's definitely not ordinary hammering.
This reminded Fang Yuan painfully of the numerous experiments he conducted while researching Energy Blocks.
It was sheer torture.
Then there's the special Slowpoke Well Water.
In the original story, to make Special Poké Balls, you had to use this.
Ordinary Water flow wouldn't have the same effect.
There must be some special reactions involved, and Fang Yuan currently couldn't find any Slowpoke Well Water...
However, looking at the materials of modern Poké Balls, Fang Yuan could roughly infer that the well water is likely a source containing ions of metal mineral materials similar to those used in making modern Poké Balls.
Even if it's not, he could slowly try with different miraculous water sources.
They've already mastered Shui Jun's Cleansing Water, so a mere well water shouldn't pose a problem.
He would just have to continue experimenting slowly...
After all, for now, Fang Yuan considered this "Poké Ball craftsman" occupation merely a hobby for his leisure time.
Forging Poké Balls was a good way to exercise Physical Strength, so even if it was unsuccessful, it wouldn't be a waste of time.
"So, we need to set up a craftsman's shop inside the research institute first!"
Fang Yuan declared with a grand gesture, intending to leave the World Tree Mystical Realm right away.
By his side, Rotom nodded dumbly, as the original Rotom wanted to see what kind of tricks you would come up with this time.
