Fame and Profits
"Chief Jim, what do you mean?”
Adrian's face darkened. He suppressed his anger and looked at Dr. Jim. Even the way he addressed him changed.
Dr. Jim looked at him and frowned."What do you mean? Mr. Xu wants to carry out a research project. I agree to his application for funds and resources. Is there a problem?”
According to the rules, there was indeed no problem. Some major research projects in the Research Bureau needed Dr. Jim's approval. It was understandable that Dr. Jim agreed to Xu Changqing's application.
However, Xu Changqing had applied for too many resources. A rough estimate was hundreds of millions. Who knew how much more money would be invested in the future?
It could be said that no one present had applied for such a large research project.
The DARPA Research Bureau was not a charity. The application for such a huge research project was extremely strict.
"Of course, that's not a problem. But do you know what genetic transfer technology means? This was a cross-species problem! It's impossible."
Adrian said angrily, but he was interrupted by Dr. Jim.
"Since there's no problem, there's no need to say anything else. Whether it succeeds or not is Mr. Xu's business. Whether you agree or not is the research bureau's business.”
Dr. Jim's words rendered Adrian speechless. The latter's face flushed red and he didn't know how to refute.
However, this scene caused some of the other researchers to be dissatisfied. As a newcomer, Xu Changqing had occupied so many resources and even had A-level clearance. Now, it seemed that the Research Bureau was biased towards him. It was inevitable that they would have other thoughts.
"Mr. Adrian is right. Of course, it's not a problem to apply for funding for research, but why waste resources when you know that it's impossible to succeed?”
"That's right. Everyone knows the difficulty of gene transfer technology. Even if the world's top genetic biologists study it together, it will be difficult to achieve any results without more than ten years.”
"I also support Mr. Adrian.”
……
Many researchers supported Adrian, including another gold medal researcher.
In fact, they didn't care about Xu Changqing's application for these research resources, but they were dissatisfied with Dr. Jim's attitude toward Adrian for Xu Changqing.
If he was already like this when he just arrived, wouldn't it be even more excessive in the future? That was why they had joined forces and planned to show Xu Changqing their strength. It was also to express their attitude to the Research Bureau.
However, more people chose to watch, as if they were watching a show.
"You guys…"
Dr. Jim was really annoyed now, but he couldn't ignore the opinions of the two gold medal researchers and more than a dozen B-level researchers. However, Xu Changqing was also very important.
Dr. Jim was caught in a dilemma.
With the support of the other researchers, Adrian became more confident. He looked at Xu Changqing with a sneer.
Many people also looked at Xu Changqing as if they were watching a joke. They wanted to see how he would deal with it. No matter which group it was, they would basically be rejected when they just joined.
"How boring."
Xu Changqing was a little annoyed. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have said it here. He should have found another time to ask.
However, these people were indeed a little annoying. Why didn't he notice it before?
Xu Changqing looked up at Adrian and said expressionlessly,""A hundred years ago, no one believed that humans could fly into the sky, let alone enter the universe.”
Everyone present understood what Xu Changqing meant.
"Are you comparing yourself to the great scientists who created the era?" asked Adrian sarcastically.”
"Yes."
Xu Changqing nodded." Not only will I become one of them, but I will also achieve greater achievements than them! " I only know that science is about making the impossible possible. Since it's a difficult problem, then there's a way to solve it. You said that genetic transfer technology is impossible, but that's just because your knowledge is shallow and your research is not good enough.”
As he said this, Xu Changqing's dark eyes became brighter and brighter, revealing an extremely strong confidence.
His series of questions made Adrian speechless. He really wanted to refute Xu Changqing, but he didn't know how.
Many other researchers also had complicated expressions. Indeed, wasn't the meaning of science to make the impossible possible? If he didn't have such a heart, how could he be a scientist?
More importantly, Xu Changqing's confidence and spirit were something that the middle-aged and even old men did not have.
"We have to do what we can! You want to succeed in this kind of difficult problem that far exceeds the current level of science and technology?”
Adrian's face was clean, but he was still stubborn.
"Why not?"
Xu Changqing glanced at Adrian and said calmly.
Xu Changqing's casual words sounded different in Adrian's ears, as if he was mocking him for being timid.
Anger rose in Adrian's heart, and he sneered,""Since you're so confident, I'd like to see what you can come up with! As long as you can make any substantial breakthroughs in gene transfer technology, then I won't be a gold medal researcher anymore. I'll just leave the research bureau!”
The crowd was in an uproar.
No one expected that Adrian would actually say such a thing. He actually gambled with his reputation and identity. Was he crazy?
He could get more if he left the Research Bureau, but his status as a gold medal researcher was gone. Xu Changqing, who got a gold medal the moment he entered, was only an exception. The rest were all obtained through his own contributions.
After all, the information and literature that the Gold Medal Research Institute could access was nothing more than a fatal temptation for any scientist!
Xu Changqing glanced at Adrian and did not say anything. He turned around and left.
It was a short-sighted and meaningless action for people to fight for fame or profit.
Ever since the extraterrestrial Star Destroyer, no matter how famous you were and how much you benefited from it, if you didn't have the ability to resist, wouldn't you still turn into dust in the end?
