When it comes to scientific research, especially in science departments, many laymen have always given the stereotype that the project has a long way to go, the conditions are arduous, and the progress is far away.

It's as if you have to gather hundreds of researchers in sterile gowns, medical masks and goggles to work hard in the laboratory for half their lives before they have a chance to achieve positive results in their own research fields.

However, this is not the case.

No matter how inscrutable the research is, it is just a job after all. As long as it's work, there will always be a day when it's done.

Considering the labor salary, equipment wear and tear and work efficiency that must be taken into account when conducting these studies, the shorter the research cycle, the better. This cycle is usually one to two years, and some large studies sometimes extend the time frame to four to six years, and perhaps a little more depending on the situation...... But neither of the two is likely to last as long as a decade.

So it makes more sense to believe that Maidan was working on a study that had not been completed for a decade than to take Hayden's account and think that it had been completed long before the professor moved.

"Hey, Miss Junsha, you can't say that."

At the intersection of everyone's eyes, Hayden, the patron of the android project, unwillingly defended-

"This is just your speculation as a layman. You know, there is a huge difference in the scientific research cycle between different disciplines, and in the pharmaceutical industry that I am familiar with, the cycle of developing new drugs basically starts in ten years. As for the development of a large-scale, multi-disciplinary pioneering exploration such as the development of a bionic human, the technology and effort required are far beyond the former. And Professor Meidan is the only one in charge of this project, and it is inevitable that it will take more than ten years or even longer. ”

Seeing Hayden's serious nonsense, intelligence investigator Junsha shook his head invisibly.

Not to mention, strictly speaking, all employees of Hayden Pharma have participated in the development plan of bionic robots in a sense; Mr. Hayden, who is an investor alone, would defend his collaborators, thinking that it was reasonable for Meydan's long research time...... This subconscious attitude is enough to explain the problem.

Unfortunately, this is not an intelligence interrogation room, and the changes in heartbeat, breathing, and pupils cannot be conclusive evidence in the here and now. If you want to make the conclusions you deduce and be accepted by Zhulan and them, you need some more practical evidence......

At this time, Junsha did not share her reasoning with Zhulan, she saw Zhulan sitting on a chair in the corner of the reception room with ancient relics in her hand, and thought that the Sinnoh champion was just closing her eyes to recuperate.

As everyone knows, the sister of Detective Hugo has already noticed the secret hidden by this forest pavilion at the same time as herself.

Even, because of her expertise, she may be able to go even further.

So, under Junsha's half-surprised and half-surprised gaze, Zhulan suddenly spoke, interrupting Hayden's defense-

"As far as I know, the development of medical drugs is related to the lives of patients, so before a new drug is launched, it takes a long clinical trial to test the efficacy and safety of those drugs, sometimes for five or six years just for a trial cycle. Mr. Hayden, the so-called 10-year start you are talking about probably also includes the time for clinical trials. ”

It's like in a Pokémon battle away from home, if you start with a quick attack move, you can use your momentum to turn an unfamiliar environment into a home field.

Zhulan only used a simple rebuttal to make Hayden and Junsha, who were originally in a state of confrontation, silent at the same time, taking advantage of the situation to take the initiative of communication into their own hands.

"It's true that the time span sometimes varies greatly between different disciplines. But no matter how different they may be, the actual implementers of the research and the ultimate target audience are always the same—they are all done by humans. One thing that cannot be denied is that our human patience does have its limit. Life is short, and it is not easy for us as mortals to set long-term goals for five years, and as for the world in ten years' time, who can predict what it will be like, let alone invest in it. ”

Zhulan tucked a strand of blonde hair behind her ear, her spindle-shaped hair ornament swaying, and her bright gray eyes looked intellectual and calm.

Of course, in addition to these empirical conclusions, I also noticed some strange things. It was these subtle dislocations that led me to conclude that the android experiments had already been completed. ”

"What is it?" Junsha held it cooperatively.

"If memory serves, Professor Maidan must have moved two years ago."

Zhulan then recounted all the suspicious points in Medan's testimony that she had discovered earlier, including the threatening letter that was intended to be covered, the threatening actions of theistic believers, and Medan's own seemingly unusually reserved handling of it.

These anomalies all point to the fact that Maidan was not being harassed by fanatical theists at the time, as he claimed. And the stone that smashed into the window with a threatening letter is a play that Professor Meydan deliberately directed and acted in order to find a reason to move your address. ”

Perhaps all the things that Meydan told were true until someone was found near his home who recognized him because of the video on the Internet. But the intimidation that followed was as credible as his previous justification for the android head.

Medan doesn't even need a human accomplice, he only needs to send a Pokémon under his command to easily do this. Maybe even the things like splashing paint were simulated by the stinky mud that was sitting in the cesspool at the moment with the "mud shooting" move.

This is the fundamental reason why the professor did not report to the police in the first place.

"And the purpose of all this is to create the illusion that the experiment is still going on, but the site has to be moved. Hayden must know the inside story, after all, he is the one who rebuilt the Mori no Yokan for you. It's unlikely that the target of the deception will be Neil or Venisia, and although you don't tell them the truth, if you really want to hide it, you won't let them go in and out of the Mori no Yokan on a regular basis. ”

Who is the person who really wants to hide it even if he doesn't hesitate to show his clumsy acting skills?

Knowing that the participants in the android experiment were none other than these people, Professor Maidan himself was the only one left, and it was even more unlikely that he was the target of deception.

No, there should still be a "person" there.

"The android itself, the newly-born android, the Lothom in human skin, it's what Hayden and Maidan really want to hide."

Zhulan pointed to her head with her eyes wide open and said.

Perhaps the previous loud noise had exhausted the old man's strength, but at this time, Mei Dan seemed even calmer than usual: "What about the evidence? ”

Without evidence, everything is in the air.

"I don't have proof, but I don't need to. The first time we sat down and talked, you proudly showed us how far you were done, didn't you? ”

The Sinnoh Champion looked at the sofa in the reception room, where Meydan had sat in the past, and said this calmly—

“…… If you are so uneasy, Officer Junsha will bring someone to search this place another day. Whether it's a Pokémon investigation with a keen sense of smell, or turning the Western-style pavilion upside down, in short, the equipment and materials are here, and I don't have anything to hide. ”

In fact, apart from the computer cluster in the basement, there really isn't any other equipment or materials that can be used for experiments.

And those computers that are purely stacked with computing power are unlikely to be of much help in the development of bionic robots. Even if it were used to monitor the physical data of androids, the computer monitors there were not enough, and Medan alone could not detect anything.

"Of course, there is no information or equipment in this museum about suspicious research. Because those dubious studies were done two years ago. ”

"Two years ago." Zhulan held up two fingers and emphasized again.

"That happened to be the point in time when the galaxy was going to die. What's more, with the destruction of the Milky Galaxy, the forbidden technologies that were once kept secret by the evil organization have also been lifted—including the study of it. ”

At some point, the red Lotom phone had flown over the shoulders of the Sinnoh champions, and the blue screen fluorescent scattered in all directions, like a lake shimmering under the stars, looking hazy and mysterious in the middle of the night.

"More than two years ago, at the turn of autumn and summer, on the eve of the conspiracy of that galaxy group. In order to save the owner of the bicycle shop in Momoyo City, I accidentally discovered the secret research institute used by the members of the Galaxy Group to study Lothom, and there was a lot of trouble. After that, the information found in the research was not hidden as a secret, and some of it was even directly entered into the official version of the Pokémon Illustrated Book. Since then, the secret of Lothom's transformation has been revealed, and countless scientific and technological research has been inspired by this magical Pokémon. ”

"You don't have to think about it to know that among those studies, Lothom's characteristics are undoubtedly the most valuable reference for androids who are delving into how to inject the soul of a Pokémon into a metal body. When you discovered that Lothom, an elf, had the talent to enter and exit electronic devices freely, it was probably as enlightened as Daigo - a few months later, still two years before the turmoil, Hayden Pharmaceutical had already completed the final harvest of the development team, the galaxy group fell apart with the self-destruction of the red sun, and the Shadow Steward finished the renovation of the Mori no Yokan...... And you, the owner of the Meydan Pavilion, moved into this forest mansion lightly at this time. ”

By the way, it was not long after that that Mr. Hayden voluntarily retired from the chairman of Hayden Pharmaceutical to the position of ordinary director. I think it's also because the android technology that has been arranged into the company's plan has been fully developed. ”

Jun Sha raised the tablet in her hand and talked about the information she had before.

"As the head of a company that has run out of energy, it was obviously a pretty wise decision to retire from the rapids."

These staggered moments fit together like the delicate gears of a clock.

"Here, you've started a second study outside of the android program."

It was Hayden's dream to develop a bionic robot, but it wasn't Medan's.

The atheist abandoned the position of academic polemics in order to help his old friend. And now that the dust has settled, Mr. Hayden will naturally return the favor and support his old friend to fulfill his dream.

Given Medan's notoriously stubborn personality, the purpose of this second study is not difficult to guess.

"You are so proud and satisfied with this study that you can't help but hint at its existence when you meet me, a mythologist. It's a pity that the appearance of bionic human heads later completely confused the two studies in the past ten years. In order to prevent the unethical android experiments from being discovered by Junsha, whom you consider to be a police officer, you simply lump together the two studies and provide us with false misinformation about intimidation. ”

Mythologists look directly at Meydan meaningfully.

"Actually, you've been sitting in this forest for two years to deny the existence of the gods."

"You've designed a new experiment that has never been done before, and it only takes a cluster of computers, a computer monitor, and two years to complete. It should have been revealed today, which is why Mr. Hayden came to visit you today with a bottle of fine red wine. In the previous owner's room, you and Hayden Eyebrow Flying Dancing told about this is exactly what happened. And this experiment can, in a sense, completely deny the gods, beliefs, and the foundations of those that transcend common sense. ”

Medan was silent, but the old professor's breathing had noticeably become a little heavy.

"In logic, it is very difficult to prove that something does not exist. We can't exhaustively search every corner of the universe to prove that there is no such thing in the world, and even if we do, outsiders can also argue that the seeker's observation technology is too backward to find something that is deliberately hidden. As a result, scholars often use another way to prove that something does not exist......"

"Contrary to known theories." Medan said in a dry voice.

It is impossible to falsify the existence of a golden ball with a diameter of 1,000 meters, because there is no theory that restricts the existence of a ball of gold with a diameter of 1,000 meters. But we can falsify the proposition that "there is a ball of radioactive uranium in the world with a diameter of one kilometer", because the laws of nuclear physics tell us that when a radioactive uranium is large to a few tens of centimeters, it will violently explode and self-destruct in a chain reaction.

However, it is even more difficult to prove that gods do not exist, because according to the definition of gods in various religions, they can even create their own rules and arbitrarily change known theories like children playing with building blocks. Therefore, there is only one way to defeat these metaphysical gods. ”

"Let Him contradict himself." The atheist said.
