4. Recap of Chapter 229
This chapter starts with the Medusas explaining the petrification process.
Why-Man searches for intelligent beings to parasitize by finding electromagnetic waves. Senku, hearing the process described, recalls the incidents from the beginning of the petrification.
Why-Man explains that the advance team chose a ‘fortunate’ species based on DNA for a test run. Hearing the statement, Gen feels the Medusas are implying that enjoying permanent deathlessness is a cause for celebration.
Why-Man further explains the optimal target to parasitize was humanity considering the intelligence of the species.
Turning humans to stone was a way to identify the more intelligent ones as they broke out of petrification faster which could help the Medusas evolve further.
In the case at treasure Island, Why-Man sensed waves again after petrification only due to the hair accessories acting as an antenna to amplify those waves.
The Medusas then decided to show humans how petrification works to parasitize them properly.
Gen, hearing Why-Man’s talk, thinks the outcome could end up dire with the parasitic beings having no sense of negotiation.
Why-Man doubted humanity’s capabilities of helping the devices and thought they were the wrong species to parasitize.
Only later to find humans are capable of producing stronger electromagnetic waves as Senku and the science crew showed signs of promising intelligence.
Considering the fact, Why-Man is annoyed why humans don’t pursue to get petrified, which is a gift from the devices.
Referring to the time Why-Man exclaimed ‘why, why, why’ when the Medusas first contacted the crew. It is then stated an opening for negotiations with Why-Man could happen with the encounter.
