Chapter 253: The World's Strongest R&D Team

After leaving the laboratory building, Su Xin headed to the gym in the group headquarters complex.

In his private gym, the fitness equipment was far more comprehensive than that of any martial arts school, and there were even some special pieces of equipment customized specifically for him.

After using Tianji No. 1, although his strength could reach three times that of a normal adult, that was only an approximate figure, not an absolute one.

After all, everyone's body type and muscle mass are different, so how could it be possible to achieve the exact same physical fitness after using Tianji No. 1?

Depending on the user's original physical condition, there would be subtle differences in the effects of Tianji No. 1.

If one supplemented with a certain amount of exercise during the process of the drug taking effect, the absorption of the drug would be better, and the increase in physical fitness would be greater.

Compared to his two bodyguards, Su Xin's only weakness previously was his physical fitness; he usually did not have that much time to exercise regularly.

Now that he finally had Tianji No. 1 and a chance to close the gap, Su Xin naturally had to exercise well and strive to maximize the drug's effect.

……

Professor Gailun's eyes flickered.

"Our direction is wrong; Su Xin's human gene enhancement is the right path. Even if we achieve results, how can we compete with Su Xin?"

Especially the five Level 13 Heavenly Scholars, who already possessed research levels or theoretical knowledge comparable to Nobel Prize winners.

Several researchers then gathered around Professor Gailun again, asking all at once:

"Professor, are we really going to conduct human experiments directly?"

"What?!"

But that was only done on the basis of sufficient theoretical foundations and various preliminary experiments.

"Please remember, within three months at the latest, there must be commercially viable results."

"It's okay, I understand."

"The previous modified subjects have already given me nightmares for a long time. Now, doing this kind of experiment, I worry I will live in nightmares for the rest of my life."

"Professor Gailun, the boss said that if anyone opposes it, they will be dismissed directly. I hope you consider this clearly. The boss will push this matter forward no matter what; no one can stop it."

By following Tianji Group, although everyone couldn't eat the meat, they could at least drink some soup.

Now that their status was gone, their influence greatly reduced, and they were being targeted by Tianji Group, they had long become a piece of cake in the eyes of many capitalists, and everyone was eager to carve them up in one go.

"The boss wants you to conduct human experiments directly and develop commercially viable results within three months."

……

The people arranged by Hao Zude were the same as before, sending dozens of people by private plane every day to be injected directly at the pharmaceutical factory before returning.

Thinking of the expression and tone the boss had just used in the video call, Supervisor Huo En felt a chill down his spine.

After all, he needed to verify the feasibility of various technical solutions, needing to try them again and again on white mice to find those with higher feasibility, then further use chimpanzees as experimental subjects; only after upgrading again and again, when the plan was relatively certain, would it be used on human subjects.

This was a key project Su Xin had set for them at the beginning, and more than half of the Heavenly Scholars in Tianke Academy were employed in these two projects.

The other researchers beside him also looked at each other, appearing somewhat at a loss.

He knew that although the boss looked like a gentleman, his methods were actually ruthless and cruel.

Gailun was so shocked he almost jumped up.

With the improvement of the R&D team's technical strength, these two projects reported frequent successes.

Anyone could see Tianji Group's goal, but under the support of their capital, which was so vast it could not be added to, this offensive was almost invincible.

Supervisor Huo En's expression then eased, and his tone became much gentler:

"Sorry, my attitude was not good just now. After all, that is the boss's hard requirement, and I cannot refuse. I hope Professor Gailun will forgive me."

Even without considering Su Xin's influence, this R&D team at Tianke Academy could be called the strongest technical team in the world, and it was a massive team spanning multiple fields.

Supervisor Huo En shrugged: "So the boss wants you to conduct human experiments directly and promises to prepare enough materials for you."

If they had used humans directly from the beginning, the number consumed would probably be more than a hundred times what it was before!

Human conscience made it impossible for Gailun to accept such a requirement, and he flatly opposed it:

Now, after enhancement, it could be said that apart from Su Xin, these five people could all be counted as the world's top R&D talent.

And the Heavenly Scholars, after two years of development, had expanded from the initial three hundred to more than five hundred now.

After a long time, under the cold and hard gaze of Supervisor Huo En, Professor Gailun spoke with difficulty:

"I... accept."

"This not only violates the law but also seriously violates human ethics and morality. I will absolutely not do this."

However, he also knew that without the support of capital, the R&D project could not continue, and this project was owned by capital.

"Three months to develop commercially viable results; we need to verify at least a dozen routes. After several rounds of experiments, we will need to use at least several hundred human subjects."

The few stopped their discussion.

"Well, that's good. As for matters within the research team, you can communicate among yourselves. The materials will be sent over starting tomorrow."

And while Su Xin was exercising leisurely every day and the group was developing at high speed.

In the international market, the prices of grain, minerals, and oil were still constantly fluctuating.

After the downstream industries were almost completely wiped out, Tianji Group began to dump goods in large quantities, letting the prices of various materials return to normal, then continuously driving them lower, starting to suppress the mid-to-upstream industrial chains.

In a hidden Biology Laboratory.

In less than a short month.

The directors and Heavenly Scholars in Tianji Group also followed the quota to enhance ten people every day.

Let alone pushing for war, they were now having some difficulty protecting themselves.

After all, the plunge in raw material prices was a nearly fatal blow to upstream enterprises.

The assets of several senior members of the Yongji Society had shrunk significantly, and their influence on several major industries had been weakened to its lowest point in over a hundred years.

After all, everyone knew how wealthy and powerful Tianji Group was. Although they didn't understand why there was such a big move this time, everyone wouldn't care about that much; they only knew that in the capital market, Tianji Group was an invincible existence.

Supervisor Huo En, who had always been very polite to him in the past, had an unusually cold and hard attitude this time, saying bluntly:

After Supervisor Huo En finished speaking, he turned and left.

"I cannot accept such research."

Human experimentation—it was not that they had never done it before; after all, the Green-Scaled Modifier, that semi-finished product, came from his team's hands.

That does not mean other enterprises can bear it.

With Tianqi Group's tens of trillions in capital, plus the industries invested in successively before, and the cooperation of relevant enterprises in Long Country, it is almost invincible in the international market!

Especially many international capital firms adept at trimming their sails; knowing that this storm was initiated by Tianqi Group, they vied to start placing their bets.

In addition, there are some projects not considered too important for Tianqi Group, such as upgraded versions of products like Thor I, Xiaozhi Driving System, and Tianke No. 1, as well as some cold and fever medications, chip designs, new materials, and so on.

The boss reiterated the topic of human experimentation and promised to provide a sufficient amount of Experimental Material, which means the other party's intention is to skip the experimental stages of white mice and chimpanzees and directly use humans for experimental verification from the start.

"Everyone knows that avoiding direct competition with Su Xin is the only way to survive; we don't need to keep going down this dark path of modifiers."

"Accept, or not accept?"

These five hundred-plus Scholars, even if placed globally, belong to the ranks of high-level talent, and coupled with the good learning and growth environment in Tianke Academy, their technical level has been maintained at a high-speed improvement.

He sighed in his heart.

"No, I do not agree."

"Alright, I will take my leave first."

And if the project cannot be successfully completed within three months, the outcome for him as the Laboratory supervisor will surely be miserable as well.

The next few days.

Especially in situations where external factors cannot be used to interfere, even if various countries wanted to stop Tianqi Group's actions, they could not.

Su Xin exercises leisurely every day, occasionally sparring with Xiang Lianyun or Wang Zhao to familiarize himself with his rapidly strengthening physical fitness.

The old man named Gailun frowned, turned his head to look at the person who arrived, and asked in a rather stiff tone: "Supervisor Huo En, what instructions does the boss have this time?"

Now.

For example, 6G networks and Supercomputer.

They must find a way to save their lives now.

As the chief researcher leading the entire project, the thing he least likes to hear is the word "boss," as it means ignorant capital is once again going to point fingers at his project indiscriminately.

A sturdy man wearing a blue protective suit pushed open the door and walked to the side of the few people.

"Professor Gailun, the boss is on the phone."

There are only a dozen or so board member spots in total.

Several major projects currently underway soon broke through several major bottlenecks in succession, and the research and development progress pushed forward by a large margin.

The research and development speed is also far beyond everyone else.

Under such a situation, all resistance actions of the Yongji Society collapsed quickly, and a large number of enterprises under its name were carved up by the swarming capital.

This kind of method is simple and brutal.

"If there can be suitable results, everyone will have a very generous reward; regarding this point, I presume everyone has confidence in the boss."

Gailun then heard Supervisor Huo En say:

Now that they have joined forces with those few top-tier enterprises in the world from Long Country, they will surely be able to easily sweep everything in the capital market.

This certainly speeds up efficiency, but the amount of material that needs to be consumed is also much higher.

In the capital market, capital is omnipotent.

"Everything we do is futile."

Tianqi Group can afford it.

With the addition of Tianji No. 1, a gene-strengthening agent that can effectively improve intelligence, the research and development level of these high-level talents has improved by another large margin.

Thinking of this, Supervisor Huo En's expression turned even colder, and he asked again: "Please tell me your decision, Professor Gailun."

Other Scholars also successively injected Tianji No. 1, completing the strengthening, which directly raised Tianqi Group's research and development strength by a level.

Professor Gailun Jianaxi, a Nobel Prize winner from over twenty years ago and now the chief researcher of the Laboratory, is sitting in front of a computer, discussing several sets of data with a few main researchers under him.

And now.

"That is too ruthless!"

Only then did Gailun recall the first half of the sentence the other party had just said, and his expression immediately became uncertain.

If Professor Gailun truly refused firmly, he would certainly face retaliation afterward.

"Producing results in three months, how is that possible?"

They are already far ahead.

"Furthermore, even if we have the foundation of so much previous experimental data, and even if we have unlimited material for our experiments, I do not think we can research a commercial result in three months."

"That is too exaggerated."

"It is simply impossible to do."
