Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Will Pies Fall from the Sky?_1Song Lan, of course, could not possibly do what the Lunar Eclipse Sect did and infect an entire city.
Turning the citizens into psychic batteries would only turn him into a cult leader and get him arrested by Lu Xiang.
But if he changed his way of thinking and achieved the same effect using mutant creatures, they could truly integrate psychic energy into their future development strategy.
Father Bruno, although not much help in re
"I was thinking how great it would be if there were an ability to make money fall from the sky."
The main reason they were so focused on developing Bug Swarm technology was poverty, Song Lan felt. The notion that the poor relied on mutations hit the nail on the head; if one thought about it, their main force was comprised entirely of things that cost nothing.
The Horn Bug squad was recruited locally, the Flying Dragon as air support was hatched by Xinyue, and Ge Fu’s mechanical devices were made from local materials, using electronic components from the junkyard for transformation and assembly. This was also why the "Infected" series of military equipment looked so shabby.
Even so, the establishment of the underground research institute and the research of people like Medea completely depleted the investment funds initially provided by Princess Lieyang.
With research funds running tight, there was no way they could offer comfort to the large unemployed population.
After finding out that Cloud Biological Pharmaceutical had tampered with the nutritional injections, they had to carry out periodic reviews of the injections.
"At least ninety percent of people in District 17 have had the same thought as you."
"No, I mean literally,"
Song Lan was no idealist. "With so many interference psychic ability users in the core area, haven’t they ever thought about making some big corporation executives accidentally transfer a huge sum to them?"
"They have, but the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau isn’t just for show,"
Lu Xiang said. "They can ensure they invite you to prison before you spend the money."
Besides, for psychics capable of such a feat, it was an action that was possible but unnecessary. "As long as their abilities are not too poor, plenty of big companies or families are willing to hire them; I’ve never heard of a psychic short on money."
"What if we change the style a bit?"
Song Lan understood that in the highly developed information technology of 2166, if the United Government wanted to investigate, they could immediately track down every transaction. "Like a diamond rainfall from the sky, for instance, and then we exchange what fell for money."
"Song Lan..."
Hearing this, a hint of concern appeared in Lu Xiang’s eyes. "Have you been reading too many fairy tales lately?"
