No. 3 easily spotted this fatal problem.
Biological energy conversion efficiency was far too low.
"Ah, flesh is still painfully weak."
"The efficiency of absorbing and converting energy is still far worse than mechanical power generation?"
"Why is it so weak?"
A great deal of knowledge surfaced in his mind again.
The main reason was that cells themselves lived in water.
Water was one of the most life-friendly environments.
Water molecules were gentle and could pass through many substances.
They could also accommodate many biochemical reactions.
However, water had one major problem.
It was slow.
From the slow movement of water on the macroscopic level to the various reactions cells carried out in water on the microscopic level—
All of it was extremely slow.
Its speed limit was the speed of chemical reactions in water.
Mechanical speed, meanwhile, was limited by the movement of electrons—in other words, by the speed of light.
The two limits were simply incomparable.
One was a few hundred meters per second, while the other topped out at three hundred thousand kilometers per second.
They were not even on the same level.
Thinking of this, No. 3 said gloomily, "I understand now. The future of biotechnology is to let us live longer, but it can't help us deal with steel and gunpowder in this technological world."
Wenren Sheng shook his head.
That was because No. 3's imagination was not broad enough.
Life was alive.
It could produce intelligence.
Intelligence was the foundation of everything.
After realizing this, he felt that—
At that moment, No. 1 cursed, "You idiot! Biotechnology might not be useless. You can take the Godzilla route. Don't forget, Godzilla is a sci-fi creature too!"
"But this is a scientific world."
No. 1 shook his head. "You're wrong. This is also a sci-fi world."
