"Is it Vader? Or Braun? ”

After separating from Elise, on the way back to the laboratory on the negative third floor, Xia Duo was still thinking about this question, these two great arcanists, he was familiar with Vader, but he couldn't identify Vader from the information he already had.

As for Braun, Chado knows a limited amount about him, but suspicion cannot be ruled out.

But in any case, these two people are the most suspicious, and when they return to the main plane and pay more attention to their movements, they may be able to find some clues.

……

Back at the lab, Chateau summoned Rhodes to his break room and asked with concern, "How is the project on the Sith Ring structure in your hand going?" ”

"It's almost done, because there was accumulation before, and now it's more about experimental verification, and I can submit a report to the management center in three days at most." Rhodes said with some embarrassment.

Because he is the only one in this project, he is the only one who uses the relevant facilities and equipment in the laboratory, and the utilization rate is too low.

Thinking of the few completed projects in the laboratory recently, Rhodes really regretted that he had known that "McCard" really didn't do anything about project evaluation, and he should have opened up his project to more people.

Although this will reduce the evaluation of the contribution of individual participants in the project, as long as the critical point of "above average" is checked, it can improve the efficiency of project completion by more than a little.

It is important to know that the promotion to a Level 1 researcher requires at least three "above moderate" level 1 project experience, in which case collaboration is the fastest way.

This approach may not work with other researchers, who will find ways to lower the contribution rating of individual participants, but in McCard's lab, Rhodes has seen it firsthand – not really.

How could this not make him grateful!

Xia Duo didn't care about Rhodes' complex psychology, he just asked the other party about the progress of the project in a businesslike manner, and this time he had something else to do with Rhodes:

"Have any other research assistants been contacting you lately?"

"Yes, quite a few! However, the response of those Level 1 researchers was also very fast, and almost every assistant researcher was assigned to the project, and it was very difficult to get out unless they tore their faces in a short period of time, and if adults wanted to recruit people, they might have to wait a little longer. ”

"Nope."

Xia Duo shook his head and said to Rhodes: "If you release the news, you will say that McArd's laboratory will not recruit any new people in the short term, and if there is a recruitment plan in the future, it will be announced to the public." ”

"Huh? Oh! ”

Rhodes was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted that there were already a lot of laboratory personnel, and recruiting people might not bring much efficiency improvement, so it was better to stop.

"Yes, my lord, I'll do it right away!"

"Don't worry, I haven't finished my sentence yet!"

Xia Duo hurriedly stopped the somewhat anxious Rhodes, and continued: "Huck told me two days ago that he had saved up enough for the three 'good' rating level 1 items needed for promotion.

"But you also know that Huck and they have always focused on the field of elven magic in the past, and there are very few people in the research institute who study elven magic, and now even if he is promoted, he can't find any good projects, let alone suitable people.

So he suggested that he wanted to continue working with McAdder Labs after his promotion, and that he would seek to make the transition to the more general realm of spell design.

There is no mistake

"Huck's situation also inspired me a little, only one of our McCad labs has limited conditions, but if several labs are combined, it may not be impossible to form a stronger consortium.

"What do you think about this kind of thing?"

Rhodes and Huck are different, of course, mainly in their fields of study, and Huck who focuses on elven magic has a hard time finding the right people and getting new projects.

But Rhodes is different, even if he can't think of a project on his own, he can take on the project provided above, and there are many more ways out than Huck.

It's just that Xia Duo doesn't want Rhodes and others to just use McCard's lab as a springboard for promotion, he hopes to borrow the laboratory establishment of Rhodes and others after promotion, recruit more assistant researchers, and undertake his outsourcing projects.

Consortium or something, of course, is just an exaggeration, Xia Duo is not enough to engage in any private alliance of interests in the research institute, but if everything is put on the table and business, whether it is above or anyone else, there is nothing to say.

In this way, if they are promoted to Level 1 researchers, if they still choose to cooperate with Xia Duo, then the share of resources given to researchers by the research institute will be accounted for a considerable proportion.

This creates a so-called "Mercard's camp", which is not as good as the veteran researchers in terms of resource allocation for a single project, but can be stacked with the number of labs!

Unless those veteran researchers are willing to let go of the suppression of subordinates' promotions and form a similar alliance, what difference does this have with Xia Duo's approach?

Those subordinates who have been suppressed and promoted all year round, once they get promoted, are they really willing to continue to work for their original bosses for free or cheaply?

This kind of thing, not only will not be opposed, but will be strongly supported!

Huck is the one who took the initiative to bring up the union, and Xia Duo is not worried about them turning against the water in a short time, but he is not so sure about these people in Rhodes.

There are so many cases of dragon slayers becoming evil dragons.

Today he can be promoted smoothly with the help of McArd's laboratory, and tomorrow he will immediately apply to the upper authorities to re-examine the authority of Xia Duo's rank, and it is unknown.

After all, it is too tempting to suppress the promotion of subordinates and exploit the contributions of subordinates.

Even if it was Xia Duo, if it wasn't for the projection plane, he might have such a mind, and it is really difficult to limit the benefits of human nature.

Of course, if he is really on the main plane, Xia Duo may chase more interests outside the territory, but in the territory, as a superior person, he will still focus more on long-term development.

Rather than profiting a few people through suppression and exploitation, he prefers to build a more level playing field for competition and promotion, so that everyone can benefit from it.

It is understandable that those who have the ability can earn more and those who have less ability have fewer returns.

And the interests of the whole are his interests.

The so-called "big private is public" is pretty much that.

……

Xia Duo's proposal silenced Rhodes for a moment, and only after a long time did he swallow his saliva and ask in a hoarse voice:

"If I don't agree, are the adults going to get stuck with my promotion?"

"No, I may have asked this question early, and I should wait until you are promoted, but now that I have asked it, I still want to hear what you have to say."

Xia Duo said in a calm tone.
