Chapter 79: Marvel: Awakening the Little Universe at the Start, Chapter 37

"Doctor, have you thought it over?"

"I don't understand."

"Doctor, you should understand."

The middle-aged elite white man representing the board of directors said with a warm smile on his face: "The military has withdrawn its funding. Although they used the word 'temporarily,' we all know what that means. The board's original opinion was to also suspend funding for the laboratory, but Doctor, your latest results successfully helped your laboratory recover its funding, though only just."

Because of Dr. Connors' latest result, that is, the regenerated white mouse, the board of directors saw a glimmer of hope.

But it was only a glimmer.

Dr. Connors frowned.

"So, what is the board's opinion?"

"Human experimentation!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Dr. Connors widened his eyes and looked at the middle-aged man: "I have only just extracted a potentially viable serum from that single mutated white mouse; I haven't even had time to verify it. To move to human experimentation now is too reckless. Besides, where are we going to find voluntary test subjects?"

The middle-aged man shrugged: "There are plenty of test subjects in military hospitals; just do it in the name of a new vaccine."

He said it very casually.

After all, that is how everyone does it.

Going to Bharat to conduct human experiments requires paying the locals, but if you use people from the lower classes domestically, you don't even need to pay.

In a word.

Are people from the lower classes even human?

No!

Capital is profit-driven; while emphasizing the maximization of profits, it also pursues the minimization of costs.

But Dr. Connors found it hard to accept after hearing this.

"What? I don't agree."

"Time waits for no one, Doctor. There isn't much time left for you, and there isn't much time left for us either."

"……Us?"

"You don't need to know that. You only need to know that the board is doing this for your own good. There will be specific people to handle this matter. If it fails, Doctor, you can just act like you know nothing."

"I didn't come here to negotiate with you, Doctor."

"This is a notification."

After the middle-aged man finished saying this, he turned around directly and left Dr. Connors' laboratory.

Now, the higher-ups are all saying that Norman Osborn does not have long to live, and the reason Dr. Connors' regeneration laboratory was established was actually to research a cure for Norman Osborn's strange illness.

So……

The middle-aged man was actually not wrong; by pushing for human experimentation to be implemented as soon as possible, they were helping Dr. Connors while also helping themselves.

After all, a new emperor brings new courtiers.

Who knows what kind of things Harry Osborn would do if Norman Osborn really died.

As everyone knows.

Capital also likes stability, because only with stability can capital earn money steadily.

But Dr. Connors is not capital.

After the middle-aged man left, he sat in his office chair.

Motionless!
