Chapter 306: Confrontation of Public Opinion

Just after the federal government passed the patent assessment of Blue Crystal Biotech, a strong headline appeared on the front page of the Lensar Evening News, which was released in the evening of the same day:

"There is a dispute over the patent for the research and development of biological mechas, and the federal government publicly apologizes!"

Nowadays, the federal media is extremely rich, but the Lensar Evening News, as an old version of the print media, still has great traffic and influence in today's increasingly health-oriented and reading experience.

On the night of the publication of this evening newspaper, public opinion in the Federation was like a powder keg that had been suddenly detonated, causing an uproar.

That night, all major media forums were being reprinted by the federal people for the first time, and social platforms were also vying to comment on the broadcast, and for a while, all parts of the federation were discussing the controversy.

Because the vicissitudes of war have been stuck in the quagmire, when the ribbon was cut after the completion of the new project plant of Puke Biotech, and at the same time held a press conference, they publicly announced that they had successfully developed a biological mecha with a cost much lower than the previous mechanical mechas, which greatly aroused the curiosity and enthusiasm of the federal people.

As the ultimate weapon in the history of human warfare, the mecha provides soldiers with unprecedented mobility and destructive power, but the expensive cost is also staggering.

The cost of mining and refining rare metals alone is not something that any small industry can support, so in the manufacture of mechas, it has always been monopolized by the Coca Machinery Heavy Industry, which is directly controlled by the military department, so as to minimize costs and unnecessary commercial expenses.

And as we all know, the more complex and sophisticated the machine. The more likely it was to malfunction, and later because of the advent of the high-energy particle concussion blade, a weapon that subverted material cognition, the external armor that could withstand howitzer bombardment at close range to a certain extent. It becomes no different from papier-mâché.

Therefore, every time there is a war, the mecha must have a major overhaul, which is also staggering due to the high maintenance cost of the mecha.

The Federation's annual military expenditure on mecha accounts for one-fifth of the total military expenditure, second only to the investment in starships.

Expensive construction combined with difficult maintenance has been the biggest constraint and shackle that limits the size of mech troops.

And if it is as Puco announced. The new generation of biological mecha is not inferior to mechanical mecha in terms of performance, and the cost has dropped by nearly six times, plus biological mecha has characteristics common to living creatures. Wound healing can greatly reduce the difficulty and expense of maintenance.

Then what can be predicted is that on the battlefield in the future, the use of mechas. It will no longer be limited to small-scale special missions and raid operations. Instead, it can be like the original battlefield on the earth, and restore the distorted crowd tactics.

When encountering strategic points that are difficult to conquer, the main artillery bombardment of battleships at the risk of being intercepted will no longer be the first choice, and the Federation can use the mecha ocean to directly drown the Imperial people regardless of the cost.

Such a revolution, which can completely change the history of human warfare, has naturally aroused the enthusiasm of the people to an unprecedented degree.

However, when people were excited about the birth of this new technique, they were talking about it. It was revealed that the ownership of this patent did not belong to Puke, so this news immediately attracted a lot of attention.

The article reports in detail on the progress of the research and development of the biomecha from the perspective of a bystander neutral. The R&D schedule of Puke Biotech is indeed earlier than that of Lanjing, an unknown small company, but another detail cannot be ignored, that is, Yue Yuanliang, the technical director of Lanjing Biotechnology, who was originally subordinate to Lanjing Biotechnology, suddenly jumped from Lanjing, but was sued by Lanjing for allegedly leaking the company's core business secrets.

Overnight, there were all sorts of unusual statements on the Internet, among which there were certainly some indignant people who accused Puko of shameless banditry and the despicable appropriation of the scientific research results of small enterprises.

However, a considerable number of people have questioned this, can such a complex and cutting-edge biotechnology be developed by a newly established and unknown small company?

Immediately, someone turned out the development history of the blue crystal company, a small company established less than three years ago, it seems that it really has no background to develop this kind of technology that requires countless manpower and material resources to develop and innovate.

Later, some people broke the news that the founder of this company originally jumped from Puke, and there is a black history of privately manufacturing genetic components, so some people have no responsibility to speculate whether this technology itself was stolen from Puke by the top management of Blue Crystal, and then hit a rake.

Immediately afterward, another post began to appear on major forums, with the headline "Bloody revenge for employee job hopping" and posting the tragic appearance of the victim after being hospitalized.

Originally, such a post could still win a look on weekdays, but tonight there was a lot of talk about patent disputes, and when this post first appeared, it was immediately overwhelmed by the back page, until someone 'accidentally' found out that the victim's name was actually Yue Yuanliang, one of the core figures of this incident, and the forgotten post was immediately marked in red, attracting countless onlookers.

In the photo, Yue Yuanliang is lying on the hospital bed with blank eyes, wrapped in gauze in one hand, and playing the deck and plaster in the other, looking so desolate and pitying.

For a while, this news made many people who didn't know the truth begin to turn to Puke, and they accused Blue Crystal Biology of being crazy and unscrupulous in order to gain fame and fortune.

However, there are still many reasonable people who point out the suspicions, if the technology is not blue crystal, the government will pass the patent application of blue crystal, through the record of the Ministry of National Defense, and publicly apologize to it.

However, there are also people who refute that if the patent really belongs to Blue Crystal, it will not directly cancel the filing of Puke and cancel the announcement next month, but is preparing for a performance assessment with great fanfare.

In short, there were different opinions on the Internet, and it can be said that this incident attracted the attention of the public, and the discussion about the biological mecha was heated until midnight.

In the middle of the night, Lydia was allowed to leave the nightmarish Red Mercy Pavilion, returned home scarred and exhausted, put down the hot water, and lay down in a bathtub full of foam and flower petals, so as to soothe the nerves that were about to collapse.

Since Flandor handed over the ownership of her night to the second lady, it was the beginning of her nightmare, and the only way to free her was to completely gain Shi Chen's favor and recognition, but half a week had passed, and she still hadn't been able to open a breakthrough in Shi Chen.

Shi Chen seemed to completely regard her as a competent full-time secretary, but she turned a blind eye to her beauty and temptation, originally last night when she was ready to give up everything to have a showdown with Shi Chen, but halfway through, Yue Yuanliang's stupidity and a group of people killed her opportunity to change her fate, because she hated Yue Yuanliang to the core.

Whenever this happens, she always takes out the terminal and chats about the video she took with the terminal to relieve her hatred, and whenever she sees Shi Chen's invincible battle picture like a god, she is always dazzled, and she temporarily forgets her hatred.

Reviewed the video again, and then opened the entertainment forum she often visited, she didn't find the public opinion war on the Internet for the first time, but it was the post that was marked red at the top that caught her attention.

As soon as I saw Yue Yuanliang, who looked miserable and depressed, and then looked at those remarks that reversed black and white, I was suddenly angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and the new hatred and old hatred were completely ignited together, and he sat up from the bathtub in shock, revealing his beautiful figure.

But instead of being carried away by the anger, she sneered and opened another post on her own, in which she described the situation in detail as the person concerned, said that she was the victim, and rebuked Puko for his shameless behavior of washing the ground, intending to confuse black and white.

And at the end of the post, a video of the scene she took that night was pasted.

However, I am afraid that even Lydia herself did not expect that on this lively and noisy night, her post would be like a boulder entering the water, stirring up a thousand waves. (To be continued......)
