Pokémon: Hard work pays off, moves can be upgraded infinitely.

"By the way, Azure isn't the only evolved form of the Savage Bass."

As he spoke, Mu Yun opened another Poké Ball.

That was a large fish that was also four meters long.

However, unlike Youlan, his eyes were like flowing fire and his tail was like a red flame. When he moved, he was like a burning bright red fire.

It was indeed the Red-striped Dark-tailed Black Fish—the Barbarian!

The appearance of the barbarians once again surprised everyone.

Discovering an evolutionary form is already difficult enough.

Finding two makes it even more difficult.

The last person to do this was Chen He, who discovered two new evolutions of Eevee and became a senior researcher because of it.

With the appearance of the Barbarian and the Azure, everyone is even more optimistic about Mu Yun's scientific research prospects.

Putting aside everything else, the sheer number of papers he can produce is enough to make Mu Yun a senior researcher.

Furthermore, with the guarantees from Chen He, Gong Hong, and Vice Dean Xiao, Mu Yun's age is not a problem.

"After you get back, improve your thesis. As for the professional title evaluation, the official one will be issued soon, as long as the thesis verification is correct. As for the senior one, you'll have to wait for the conference at the beginning of the year."

Finally, Chen He couldn't help but exclaim, "Your speed is even faster than mine back in the day!"

"I'm standing on the shoulders of giants. The evolution of Youlan and the others is also thanks to the hard work of Dr. Chen and everyone else." Mu Yun smiled modestly.

"By the way, Xiaoyun, would you be interested in seeing the birth of Rotom?"

Chen He suddenly spoke up and asked.

Upon hearing this, both Chen Li and Gong Hong were taken aback.

The creation of Rotom can be considered the top secret of the new nuclear research institute.

Apart from Chen He and Gong Hong, no one present, not even Vice Dean Xiao and Chen He's own daughter Chen Li, was allowed to watch.

"Is that alright, Dr. Chen?"

Mu Yun had also heard about Rotom's secrecy, and he was also somewhat surprised.

"It's just the birth of an elf, don't have too high expectations," Chen He said with a smile.

After receiving Chen He's approval, Mu Yun quickly left the New Capital Elf Gene Research Institute with him.

As for Vice Dean Xiao, he voluntarily stayed at the Xindu Elf Gene Research Institute to take care of the students, and Chen Li did the same.

Gong Hong followed along.

"Old Chen, are you sure you want Xiaoyun to come? I remember this month's quota has already been distributed, hasn't it?"

On the way, Gong Hong asked in a low voice.

"With some technological advancements, it's normal to have one more spot," Chen He said with a smile.

"There's been progress?"

Gong Hong sighed.

Indeed, the differences between people are vast.

..............................

Soon, the three of them arrived at the New Core Research Institute, which was located not far from the New City Elf Gene Research Institute.

The New Nuclear Research Institute also occupies an entire building, and its exterior is quite similar to that of the New City Elf Gene Research Institute, except that its color is a relatively metallic silver-gray.

It looks dignified and grand.

"Dr. Chen! Dr. Gong!"

The receptionist at the new nuclear research institute greeted everyone with a smile.

"Get Xiaoyun an entry and exit permit."

After giving a brief explanation, Chen He led Mu Yun and Gong Hong into the elevator.

After using the pass in front of him for authentication, the three quickly arrived at the experimental site located on the third underground floor.

"Dr. Chen! Dr. Gong!"

Along the way, many researchers wearing white lab coats and walking briskly greeted us.

It's clear that the new nuclear research institute is also very busy.

..............................

Led by Chen He, Mu Yun passed through three heavy alloy gates.

Until the last gate, the lively and bustling atmosphere was replaced by a cold, metallic feeling.

Upon entering the room, Mu Yun's gaze was immediately drawn to it.

A huge petri dish, several meters tall, stood there quietly.

Around the petri dish were countless electronic screens displaying scrolling green data streams, and a professional-looking laboratory table that didn't appear very large.

Some experimental instruments were scattered on the table.

It looks like it should belong to Dr. Chen He.

"This is Rotom's birth vessel, a special incubator that connects the data world and the real world."

Chen He gave Mu Yun a brief introduction.

"The world of data?"

Mu Yun looked at the electronic screens around the petri dish, which were displaying data streams at a high frequency, and felt somewhat puzzled.

"That's right, the data world."

Chen He explained: "The world that is made up of physical matter, that we can see and touch, we call the real world, while the world that is made up of digital code, we call the data world."

"Although the current data world still relies on physical matter, I believe that one day it will become an independent and complete world!"

By the end, Chen He's eyes were shining.

"And Rotom is the final proof of the existence of the data world."

As she spoke, Chen He gently tapped the coffee machine on the lab bench.

A pair of big, round eyes suddenly opened on the coffee machine.

"Loto~~"

The coffee machine gave a lazy call, and then three disposable coffee cups emerged from its body, pouring steaming hot coffee into them.

Chen He handed two of the coffee cups to Gong Hong and Mu Yun, and continued:

"If you're interested in whether the data world exists or not, you can learn more about it after you join our new nuclear test facility."

"Now, let me give you a brief introduction to Rotom."

As she spoke, Chen He took a cup of coffee, drank it, and walked over to the petri dish.

"Rotom, the only known electronic sprite composed entirely of plasma. Due to its unique structure, it does not have the gender of ordinary sprites. In fact, theoretically, as long as electricity exists in this world and there are devices capable of supporting their bodies, their lifespan is eternal."

Eternal life sounds incredibly desirable.

Throughout history, countless people have perished on the quest for immortality.

Even Ghost-type Pokémon only live long, not live forever.

"Of course, these still need to be verified. Today, we'll mainly talk about the conditions required for Rotom's creation."

As she spoke, Chen He pointed to the petri dish beside her.

"The conditions for creating an artificial Rotom are not as complicated as outsiders imagine; in fact, they are quite simple: a sufficiently large data stream, a petri dish with sufficient energy, a conductor connecting the data world and the petri dish, and life data as the core."
