Chapter 21: Insight Beyond Mortals
"Compared to that ethereal thing...... More realistically, it is a question of who is responsible and who is responsible. ”
The black-haired woman coughed lightly, revealing her fellow feminine gentleness.
She didn't continue to embarrass Ringo, but calmly took over the topic and tried her best to distract her in words that Ringo could understand: "But no matter what, as long as this matter can be handled properly, this is still the credit of our group." Although the process has changed, the ultimate goal remains the same. ”
Russell also said in passing, and his demeanor reached an inexplicable synchronization with the black-haired woman: "Tongshen Island needs to change, and the rebellion of the synths needs someone to be responsible for this." 'Russell the Hero' is a good excuse, and I'm willing to bear the consequences - because I don't care what the xenophobic civilians of Tongshen Island think of me.
"But I'm willing to bear the infamy because of the decisions I actually made — in other words, if I was to bear the blame, at least I really had all the power to command them. That is to say, instead of asking me to sign without even the right of veto, go through the motions and take a vacation, and inexplicably go home with a pot that I don't know where it flew from.
"I don't have to think about it, I know that if we just showed our timidity, we will definitely sign some inexplicable decision letter. Most of the old men behind the scenes are mixed in, mixing in the policies that they have wanted to change and the people they want to kill, and then throwing the pot at me. They're going to do it......
"—because if it were me, I would do the same."
Russell smiled brightly and looked at the woman beside him.
He said meaningfully: "Of course, even now, I can't do it.
"But that's a different price. The price that Director Amirus invited me over was not enough for me to carry these extra pots. ”
"I'll tell Chairman Saar about these things."
The black-haired woman replied earnestly, "Shensane Heavy Industry lacks nothing. Even if it's ampoule biomedical or Trancelon's unique technology, we have it.
"I've heard Director Amirus say that you originally planned to work on Tongshen Island. Actually, it's not too late...... If you want to help us or participate in research, you don't have to be on Tongshen Island.
"If you're willing to join us and help us, I think we can afford it all—I don't think anyone in this world can offer more than we do. The price that other giants can open, we can chase higher. You don't have to worry about what the lower scumbags think, either...... Tongshen Island was actually built by the people of the outer islands, because although we do not have a mature talent training system, we have always poached people directly from other empty islands.
"We have recruited more than 300 artificial intelligence experts, cybersecurity experts and prosthetic experts from Sogo Island, some scholars who are proficient in reproducing ancient science and technology from Sun Island, astronomers, oceanographers and physicists from Yongquan Island, and re-established the team of the entire annealing nerve center, we have recruited more than 40 architects, botanists and artists from Taoyuan Island, more than 80 elite physicians from Holy Blood Island, some unique drugs that have reproduced and optimized ampoules, and more than 800 outstanding scholars in the biomedical field. A pharmaceutical production park that is no worse than the headquarters of the Holy Blood Island has been constructed......
"Even if it is Happiness Island, we have recruited nearly 100 elites from all walks of life. The 'Dust Gap' and the 'Monkey-faced Eagle' you know are just a few of them.
"The real elite we bought, they all live in the upper echelons of the sun. They are the essence of the entire Tongshen Island - if Sun Island wants to build a library that collects all theoretical knowledge, ancient technology and historical secrets, then what Tongshen Island wants to build is ...... It is the collection of industrial systems around the world.
"The whole island of Tongshen is a huge industrial complex. Our directors are fundamentally different from those of other Sky Islands.
"Eighty percent of the island's income, which is controlled by our top management, is not used for enjoyment, let alone squandering...... Rather, it is used for plunder.
"Based on economic plunder, the plundering of talent and the industrial system.
"You're new to the city, and it's not clear yet. The rejection of the outsiders by the lower scum is mixed with hatred and jealousy.
"The brains of the Celestial Group are born for fun, and they don't know what it means for the 'Door Opener' Sally Ruth to produce the best students, but we do. What kind of research you want to engage in, which Sky Island's unique technology patents you want to buy, and which Sky Island's Ph.D. you need to assist your research, you can also mention it, we can afford it.
"Your political wisdom also proves that you are not one of those naïve teenagers or nerds to be played with. A first-class researcher with outstanding leadership and political acumen, you are exactly what we are lacking. ”
The dark-haired woman opened up the conversation and gushed Russell's demagogues.
There was sincerity in her words—Russell could really feel that they were determined to dig themselves up.
…… No wonder.
The fake Torkifat was so easily thrown off to his position as deputy director. It turns out that Shenzhi Heavy Industries really has this kind of tradition.
They do not pursue the truth of history, nor do they care about theoretical knowledge. Instead, it directly digs technical talents who have completed phased experiments, and attaches more importance to the realization and reproduction of technology than anyone else......
This is not the kind of monopolist who grabs technology without purpose and greed.
They have a clear purpose, what they want to accomplish - only this is the possibility, will they continue to poach people, and only technical talents.
And when they poach people, they highlight a "I want everything", not limited to a certain field......
"The reproduction of the technical system...... Is it? ”
Russell muttered, "So that's what you're after?"
"No, or rather...... You are pursuing a similar ultimate goal to Sun Isle - you are also trying to reproduce ancient technology, right? ”
Hearing Russell's words, the woman fell silent.
Although her pupils haven't even changed, even micro-expressions have not appeared on her face after minor surgical adjustments.
But Russell still sensed the fear in her heart. It is the fear that comes from being debunked and the truth being exposed.
…… I see.
The ultimate goal of Shenzhi Heavy Industries is probably not as simple as completing cyber immortality.
They are more greedy...... I want to recreate the entire ancient technology system.
But this doesn't seem to be right, at least Cyber Eternal should not be ancient technology, and the elves are ignorant of it.
So, this is a taboo in ancient technology? Or maybe they are not even looking for more than just recreating ancient technology......
It's about doing more.
"So greedy ......"
No wonder "Mammon" hatches.
The name Mammon is the demon god who symbolizes "greed" in the Seven Deadly Sins.
“…… I don't hate it. ”
Russell smiled.
So far, it can be regarded as a part of reasoning, and if you continue to speak, you can dig up more secrets by perceiving the psychology of the other party, but I'm afraid that your situation will be dangerous.
This kind of Kudo Shinichi behavior is still exempt.
After completely suppressing the other party, Russell calmly changed the topic with the attitude of a victor: "You say...... Chairman Saar? ”
He looked back at the human woman with the ear of a horse and asked politely, "Speaking of which, how shall I call you?" ”
“…… I'm a siren. ”
The dark-haired woman whispered, "Chairman Saar's secretary." ”
"The chairman's secretary personally came to recruit me......"
Russell muttered softly, and the slender white fingers of his right hand struck the table casually like playing a piano, giving the siren great psychological pressure.
Although she looks like she's only in her early twenties, she's actually in her fifties this year. This is exactly the result of the "elixir" technology bought from the Holy Blood Island to block the aging of the body.
Although a human director cannot use this means of life extension, she, as a secretary, is able to circumvent this constraint. As a result, she now wields no less substantial power than a human director.
The boy in front of her, who was obviously less than half her age, seemed to give her a sense of pressure when dealing with elf directors.
It's not really that frightening and incomprehensible...... She had seen so many elves, and she had long been accustomed to that kind of wisdom beyond mortals.
Rather, it is a sense of disobedience brought about by an essence that is completely different from appearance and appearance.
She looked at Russell as if she were looking at another version of herself. At the age of twenty, you can get the wisdom of approaching sixty...... Is this reasonable?
Soon, Russell's beating was over.
He raised his head and said without warning the words that made the siren's heart go into arrest: "My teacher has come to Tongshen Island?" ”
The sirens had no idea how Russell had calculated it out of thin air, and because of that she didn't dare tell a lie.
He could only bow his head to hide his insignificant fear as a mortal: "Director Sally Ruth is now on Tongshen Island......"
"Oh~"
Russell dragged his long note, two shallow dimples on his face.
He suddenly said with a smile: "No wonder." No wonder it's me...... No wonder you want to test me. No wonder you were sent to treat me so warmly, and dared to offer 'everything' to woo me...... I'm still wondering. I don't think I'm at this level. ”
“…… Going to meet Director Sally Ruth? ”
Lin Yi on the side asked in a low voice.
Russell shook his head: "No, she can definitely know that I am here." Let's do our work first, and wait for the mentor to come to me. ”
As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself.
Mentor, as a famous elf who has lived on Sogo Island for a long time, why did she come to Tongshen Island at this time......
What does she want to do?
