Chapter Seventy-Six: First Strikes First
The truth is, as researcher Johnson said, neither Pfizer nor the North American federal government have access to the damn core details in the end - if there is any difference between the two, the former is willing, even joyful, to accept this fact, while the latter is helpless.
"In the future, the patent proposed by this laboratory will be applied for in the mainland." The secretary of state across the ocean glanced at the briefing and gasped before he spat out a sentence.
"Mr. Secretary...... Are you not interested in the technical details of this transfer? β
"Interest? I'm only interested in the fact that you haven't been able to crack the secrets of the skull. The Secretary of State's eyes immediately shot at the vice president of the National Institutes of Health of the United States. With such a large file, and even high-speed footage of the trauma recovery process, you haven't been able to find the slightest bit of useful information? β
"This, this can only confirm that the so-called 'living god' is not a fake disguised by a god." The vice president of the National Institutes of Health is a little incoherent, but he really has nothing to do -- the megapharmaceutical companies have successively poached the latest talents from the institutes with high salaries, and the current National Institutes of Health is no longer the kind of bait that led the trend of scientific research by relying on the background of the Navy a few decades ago;
Secondly, the study of skull data can only lead to one conclusion from any direction: apart from the ability to recover from metamorphosis, the gods of the present world are no different from humans.
This is almost unacceptable to scientists in the North American Federation, and it cannot be reported: no one knows what else can be picked up by other research groups, so until then, they can only continue to bury their heads in research, rather than obediently admit to giving in.
It's embarrassing.
The project, which was supposed to be completed in a month, failed to reach a public conclusion after the war in the southeast of the mainland was completely calmed down. Little by little, the National Institutes of Health lost the initiative, and in the end could only obediently admit its defeat in front of the State Department......
"You keep that to say to the loaches in Congress." The secretary of state stuffed back angrily, "It doesn't matter if I believe it or not, it's the biggest question whether they believe it or not." I can't decide, let alone think about the budget for the next fiscal year. β
The current North American Federation is no longer the monster that can give away surplus supplies to continental countries after World War II. The reconstruction of the European continent requires building materials, food, daily necessities, light industrial products, and construction machinery, which were completely picked up by the North American Federation during World War II. Ninety percent of the devices on the aid list can only be purchased from outside.
Where to buy? Go without saying. There are only two industrial circles in the world that are still in order: North America and East Asia.
Of course, outsourcing can't rely entirely on Indian military tickets to continue to spread costs, so what should we do? Of course, let the players in the Senate and House of Representatives, who represent the interests of all factions, roll up their sleeves and tear up for a decimal point.
Today, conservatives and aviation departments are reluctant to bring in Chinese technology and engineering teams to build high-speed trains to increase employment, attract investment, and raise economic indices along the way, so tomorrow, the pro-China faction and the supporters of the new economic theory who were pressed down yesterday will use actions to block each other's proposals; Of course, all struggles are based on one premise - there is not enough money to spend.
money
"Now both politicians and the public are very dissatisfied with our silence in the Taiwan Strait, and think that this is the price we pay in exchange for the right to study the gods in the world." The Secretary of State turned his back and added word for word. "If you don't get a convincing answer and a conclusion that the public can convince, then don't talk about you in the next fiscal year, and even the Public Health Department may be cut in funding. As you know, the federal government is now on a slumbering side and doesn't have that much money to support the haha-ha waste. β
"Our country is founded on scientific research, and it is impossible to cut our funding!" As if he had lost his mind, the vice president suddenly shouted at the secretary of state. "Is our effort for eternal life less important than the exploitation of the continents, which are also civilized worlds?"
"Think about it, old man." The secretary of state patted the other party on the shoulder and said, "You have to think about it, helping our European friends restore order is just a passing, retreat as advance, do you understand what this means?" The two great promoters of the great chaos in Europe, the two fools who insisted on the Turks and the Wahhabis would sooner or later jump out in person, and bring their disciples and disciples of Allah to fight against us. The spirit is commendable, but victory will only be ours. By that time, half the world will be under our control! Relying on oil, relying on the centripetal support of the civilized world, we still need to be afraid that there is some secret about eternal life from the Chinese? Don't be too naΓ―ve and headstrong, my friend. It's time to step out of your institute and see the changing world. β
"In any case, I am very unhappy with this one-time cut-off in the funding of the scientific sector, Mr. Secretary. You have to understand that the research department needs money to support the researchers and maintain the equipment in the laboratory, not to give them unpaid leave...... We've been poached a lot of researchers by pharmaceutical companies, and even by Yamatai on the other side of the ocean, and that's bad enough! Can we continue to 'hibernate' and continue to drain our scientific blood? β
As the saying goes, scientific research institutions are not institutions that can "get scientific research results" by "inputting a number of resources at one time", and more seriously, the National Institutes of Health itself provides various types of funds every year to encourage scientific research in colleges and universities; If even this line is broken, the National Institutes of Health will not know where to find new talent - will they still be able to turn over the pharmaceutical and agricultural companies that provide good remuneration from scratch? Or compete with them with two thousand yuan and a rustic medal?
It's a beautiful idea.
In the hum-buzz era, scientific researchers just remembered to be in the cowshed when they used it, and threw it into the cowshed when they ran out, bringing a batch of smells by the way. The loss is that this group of masters has a little ideological consciousness, otherwise after the reform and opening up, these masters really raised their legs and ran to the West - the front foot of the 20th Chief Master of the J-20 has already stepped on the steps of going abroad, if it is not for his mentor to stay, then there can still be today?
"It's no use complaining here. If you want your subordinates to stay out of here, you have to hurry up and get them to make some progress in the study of the skull. Even if there's no progress, it's okay to reveal some specious signals, see what I mean? β
The vice president's face was about to turn okra green. This is a blatant accusation of academic fraud! Even Franklin, Roosevelt, Reagan, Trouser Belt, and the Black Donkey borrowed him 100,000 mammoth galls, and he didn't dare to joke about his future!
Although this is not an act of copying papers and plagiarizing academic fraud, if the "rumors" released are in the right direction and the details are wrong, then it will be fine. If you even have the wrong general direction, wouldn't you have to bear this pot that led the whole department into the ditch?
It is important to know that the "academic war" between experts and scholars has always been soft-spoken and slow-talked, and then merciless. This may be politely said, but if you are not prepared, you will be fooled with civilized language, and point out your fundamental mistakes in the paper;
In turn, there are news reports written by special people who publish them in newspapers instead of specialized academic journals. The pen of this writing is absolutely sophisticated and vicious, and it "boldly" guesses that the party who made the mistake is making up and deceiving people, and is empty of fame and fortune;
While imagining the tragic appearance of falling from the horse, the vice president soaked his shirt with cold sweat.
If you can't get results, of course, you have to be muffled and pretend that everyone doesn't remember it. However, the secretary of state hopes that he will "produce results", otherwise he will "have no food in the coming year".
"Don't be so dull, I have to be involved in your academic scandal. Take it easy, man, the more ambiguous the better, and the less professional information the better. All you have to do is be excited to be interviewed by some bullshit reporter and say that there is progress. You know, whether the Chinese on the other side have made progress is one thing, and whether they will poke out if they make progress is another matter. The Secretary of State calmly pulled out a cigarette and shoved it into his mouth. He thought to himself: If it was his boss in charge of administration who came to meet today, instead of the deputy in charge of affairs, he would not have talked so bummerly.
However, things are completely contrary to his most optimistic, relatively optimistic, neutral, and relatively pessimistic speculations. What the Chinese are preparing to publish is the most pessimistic speculation for the federal secretary of state of North America.
The secretary of state met with his subordinates at 3 p.m. in the eastern part of the North American Federation, which is 3 a.m. in the 8th East District. It was almost 3 a.m. when a refrigerated armored escort vehicle used to transport Level 4 Laboratory (BSL-4) research objects pulled out of the portal base.
The vehicle guarded on all sides is equipped with the highest level of equipment: the armed version of the second generation of long-axle warriors. The machine-gun weapon stations above are constantly changing angles to show that they are not toys for display;
On the dark and lightless highway, the convoy maintained a constant speed cruise all the way, occupying two full lanes; For unknown reasons, the high-speed traffic police car opened the road in front of them, repeatedly playing a high-pitched announcement that brought all the vehicles closer to the sides - they were so accustomed to the situation around the portal that they had no interest or energy to ask what was being escorted today.
The convoy drove non-stop to the imperial capital, and the closer it got to the imperial capital, the more excited the reporters in the city became: an official message suddenly woke them up in the middle of the night by their boss or even the big boss with a transatlantic phone:
The Chinese Academy of Sciences will hold an extraordinary press conference at 9 o'clock this morning, and the topic is unknown.
