Then the war, which would otherwise have swept across at least half the world, came to an end. Since all three people in the know tacitly agreed not to make it public, the world never learned of Mousse's outstanding contribution.
But that was not important. What mattered was that the world truly began undergoing the earth-shaking changes Mousse had described, and those changes were all built upon one crucial technology: the new generation of Perpetual Motion Machines!
Compared with the previous experimental models, the new generation of Perpetual Motion Machines represented a qualitative leap forward. Combined with the automatic maintenance capabilities of solid Homies, a single machine only needed its soul replaced every few decades and required no other investment, yet its output was enough to meet the needs of an entire major city!
What did that mean?
It meant nearly limitless energy!
With limitless energy, necessities such as food could likewise be supplied in nearly unlimited quantities.
And unlike the fairy-tale-like scenes of Totto Land in the past, which were ultimately nothing more than favors bestowed by the Charlotte Family upon Totto Land's people—favors that could be withdrawn just as easily—the necessities produced through limitless energy could be continuously manufactured automatically according to fixed procedures. The people could obtain them as naturally as they breathed air!
Mousse had even considered the problem of excess supplies becoming waste. He specifically added a recycling stage: supplies left unclaimed past their deadline would automatically revert, and production speeds would be adjusted intelligently.
As long as this system was spread across the entire world, no one in the world would ever again face the pressure of making a living!
That way, people would have no worries about food or clothing even if they did not work, and thus they would gain the power
