Chapter 340: Controversy
"I strongly protest against such a move by yours, which completely violates my scientific ethics!" Professor Steve, who came out of the lab, protested with the staff around him in charge of contact with him very seriously. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
As a dovish scholar who opposes radical human experimentation, Steve is disgusted by this kind of disregard for human life, but the staff around him don't buy the complaints.
"Professor Steve, more than 20,000 people are dying every day because of soul devouring now, and that number is likely to increase in the future, sacrificing a small number of sinners to save people who are more useful to this society is a good thing for humanity." Outside the laboratory door, a man in black said with a blank face.
"The value of life cannot be calculated in this way! Every life is equal, and we are not in a position to kill one person in order to save another. ”
"We don't have much time to discuss the value of life, the boring philosophical question of whether to run one person or five people, everyone will have a different answer."
"I just want to remind you that your parents, your wife, and your daughter are already under the strict protection of our national security services, and you can rest assured that you will do this research." The man in black continued to speak this fact in an emotionless voice.
"You guys! Is this still the United States that claims to put human rights first?! "Steve was disgusted with this naked threat to his family.
"Everything has to give way in the face of existential issues."
"That's the survival of your transcendents, why should ordinary people pay for it!" After hearing the news that his family was being watched, he began to get a little dizzy and shouted with red eyes. Some of the people next to him focused their eyes on the quarrel between the two.
As a staunch dove scholar, Steve had no interest in touching or working with the results of those bloody experiments. He is just an old man with thin assets, and his life is indeed more than enough, but it is completely a drop in the bucket to buy a large number of expensive spiritual materials to improve his physical fitness.
Back then, Cheng Mu and a group of people, in order to return their physical fitness to their youth, the total value of the resources invested before and after was in the unit of 100 million, and the wealth consumed after starting to cultivate was even more astronomical.
This group of old men who missed the baptism of the Spirit River paid a huge price in order to catch up with the young people who happened to meet them, and only a few people could afford such a price. Steve, on the other hand, is clearly not in that range.
Steve, an ordinary person, almost roared out his idea after witnessing countless conflicts between transcendents and ordinary people in the past ten years.
"Because we are strong, and you are weak." Facing Steve, who was not emotionally stable, the man in black said this reality coldly, and at the same time gestured to the people watching the excitement to leave.
"Please, Professor Steve, there are countless lives waiting to be saved, and your family waiting to be reunited with you."
If it weren't for the death order from above, he, representing the security services of the United States, would not have explained to Steve so patiently.
Many of his subordinates are still struggling under the clutches of the Spirit Devourer, and every second wasted now is a disregard for their lives.
The bad old man who can be pinched to death with a casual pinch is not qualified to reason with them at all, it is enough to obey orders. The man in black from the special forces hates this kind of guy who has no half strength, but still has a lot of compassion.
"The world advertised by the red light may be the world where ordinary people can live better?" After being semi-forcibly re-admitted to the lab, Steve looked at his colleagues around him and smiled wryly, and then thought of the "virus" on his computer some time ago.
However, this thought flashed through him, and then he was drowned out by the experimental data in front of him.
In terms of the proportion of the working population, after excluding the two special categories of leaders and tycoons, the highest proportion of extraordinary people is researchers.
In particular, among them, hawkish scholars who do not exclude all kinds of radical experiments, they are mainly composed of a group of young people who are at the forefront of the times, and all of them are extraordinary people who directly apply the results of experiments to themselves.
The second is the overwhelming majority of the dovish scholars, who have a huge advantage in the improvement of the system and the development of spells by virtue of their rich knowledge, and have made great achievements in cultivation.
It is only out of observance of scientific ethics and morality that dovish scholars lag far behind their hawkish counterparts in the development of core paths.
After all, the length of the research cycle is too far from using animal experiments first, and then transplanting them to volunteers after repeated adjustments and when the conditions are fully ripe.
Compared with them, the powerful people who are scrambling to find immortality will naturally choose to give priority to working with hawkish researchers who can produce faster results.
As for ethics and morality, how many people can defeat countless opponents and finally climb to the top, aren't there a lot of bones under them? Compared to his own immortality, a few more corpses can be regarded as a thing.
"Hall, have you succumbed too? You're the pinnacle of humanity, a dignified super-level mage! When Steve returned to the lab, he spoke to his colleagues and students.
When Steve was in college at Hall, he taught classes in the biological sciences department for a few months, and although he never saw each other since, he had a slight impression of this hard-working young man from a prominent family.
"Teacher, I've been infected with the Soul Eater Virus, and I only have a little more than half a year left. It's true that I'm a dovish researcher, and I hate human experiments, but what can I do, time is pressing, and I don't want to die! I have hundreds of years to live, and there are countless mysteries of this world waiting to be explored! ”
Under the threat of death countdown, Hall, who is a member of the super-level mage of the United States, is not exempt from vulgarity, after having great strength and a long lifespan, he can't accept the fact that he will lose all this in half a year, and chooses to give up what he originally insisted on.
Hearing the former student's emotional speech, Steve felt a little tired, but even if he was reluctant, he still had to persevere.
Both of them have things they can't let go, forcing themselves to do research against their will. What Hall can't let go of is strength and life, and what he can't let go of is his relatives.
Steve had already decided that when this was over, he would retire from his research post completely, away from it all, and go fishing in a cottage by the Mississippi River.
Although he partially agreed with the idea of red brilliance, he did not abandon all the fiery ideals of the other party.
Once you join such an organization that is hostile to those in power, it means giving up your family around you. Because they have a good life, it is absolutely impossible for them to go crazy with him.
