Hey Sexy..



I'm not sticking my lower anatomy anywhere near heavy machinery, no matter how good-looking it is.

I seem to recall hearing of devices that can generate electrical power from impacts, which leads me to wonder if you could install some kind of micro-generator that kicks in when the wearer puts their foot down, and use that to run the chip / power the LEDs. The scale of power generated vs. what you need is sadly probably not a good match though.

No clue! I did know a friend once who made light-up shoes for a cosplay costume. They put battery packs in the tongues of the shoes. Maybe there's potential in that direction?

Yeah [an underwater city]'s a crazy idea. I don't think it's really all that likely. But when it comes to motives and practicality, well... Humans have done far more impractical things for much less potential material gain. Just look at the moon!

That's certainly true. Humans do have a habit of doing crazy things because they can.
That said, I get the feeling the wraps are coming off Mr. Haotian's big project soon, so I'm sure we'll see what it is.
