The two had just been discussing the Devil Gundam, especially the DG Cells. Basak had wanted Luo to analyze the soil, grass, water, and tree buds to determine whether they contained DG Cells and extract them. But Luo's answer had been that it couldn't be done.
Perhaps with sufficiently advanced foolproof equipment, Luo might have been able to refine whatever DG Cells might exist within those materials. He could create filters and sift out what was needed layer by layer. But under the current circumstances, it was absolutely impossible.
There was only one way to obtain DG Cells: knock a piece off a mecha that possessed them. For example, those ugly yellow units, the cannon fodder mecha endlessly split off and replicated by the Devil Gundam. Of course, it would have been best if they could knock a piece off the Devil Gundam itself.
But even if Luo and Basak truly obtained plenty of intact DG Cells through that method, they would have been unable to take them back to Prometheus. Just as participants could not bring countless quantities of Gundanium Alloy back from the W World, or take powerful Mental Power Frames out of the UC World, only DG Cells acquired through mission rewards could be brought back to Prometheus.
But that was not all for Luo. Even if he obtained complete DG Cells that could not be taken out of this world, he might still have been able to use this world's advanced tools and equipment to study and analyze them, thereby determining the true method of producing DG Cells or uncovering the technology behind their creation, then manufacture them in the Prometheus world.
Of course, Luo had another possible way to obtain DG Cells, though it was a method of trading consumption for possibility. He could spend
