Chapter 603 Turn The Tides Of War
Lila's laughter echoed, "Haha, how cute of you to worry, and rightfully so. But let me assure you, this is the safest piece of tech out there. The end product you see now is the culmination of decades of research, sweetie. We didn't proceed to human trials until we were certain there would be no harmful or irreversible effects," Lila explained with infectious enthusiasm.
Lucy chimed in with a warm smile, "Ms. Sterling, Dr. Lila is right. I've been here a few weeks now, and after the initial day of installation, I've never felt better. These tubes are just for calibration or something along those lines."
Rachel nodded, feeling slightly reassured by Lucy's smile, yet one question lingered, "But how will you replenish mana if you plan to take a long walk outside? Mars doesn't have mana in its atmosphere like Earth," she inquired, looking from Lucy to Lila for answers.
"That's where this comes in," Before Lucy could respond, Lila was already holding up a syringe filled with a shimmering transparent liquid. Rachel furrowed her brows as she saw Lila pressing a button on the syringe to extend the needle while she explained, "We call it the Mana Syringe, far more efficient and quicker than any mana potion. Just stab this into your arm, and it replenishes your mana to full within seconds. Of course, you need the M.A.M module installed for it to work."
Rachel's eyes widened, a mix of amazement and slight apprehension evident in her gaze, "You mean a mana-born can use this syringe whenever they're about to run out of mana?"
"Exactly," Lila confirmed with a proud smirk, "For mana-less individuals, it lets them walk freely on Mars. For people like us, especially Hunters, it means more than that. Imagine engaging in combat without worrying about mana depletion. Unlike mana potions, which require time and safety to take effect, you can use the Mana Syringe mid-battle. Do you realize how revolutionary this is?" Lila asked with a crazed light in her eyes.
Rachel slowly nodded with her gaze fixed on the syringe. Even without Lila telling her, she knew how mind-blowing this product was. If what Lila said was true, then this alone could change the tide of the war against the demons.
It would be so easy to crush demons when they can replenish mana rapidly during combat. Every expert knew that the key to surviving a battle was to prioritize the usage of mana and never be the first to run out of it.
Rachel couldn't help but feel the weight of the potential such technology held.
Lucy let out a wistful sigh, her eyes reflecting a longing for her younger days, "I wish I were young enough to see what it's like to use this syringe in combat."
Lila reached over to pat Lucy's hand gently, "You're such a darling, Lucy. Who knows, maybe one day we'll develop something that lets you experience that again. The possibilities with mana-tech are practically endless," Lila claimed with a fervid smile.
Rachel watched the exchange, noticing the fervor in Lila's eyes as if she might have more such tech stowed away.
Lucy responded with hopeful anticipation, "I believe you can invent even the impossible, Dr. Lila."
Lila laughed and gave a mock shy smile, "I might blush like a little girl with all your compliments. Why don't you take some rest now, Lucy? Rachel and I will continue our tour without disturbing you further."
