Chapter 987: KSI

KSI, an unknown and mysterious United States company.

President Joshua arrived at one of the company's subordinate laboratories early in the morning!

Today, he was invited to participate in a company experiment, or more accurately, an epoch-making experiment.

"Mr. President, everything is ready!"

Riding in a custom-made bulletproof Cadillac, Joshua had just arrived at the laboratory when he was guided inside by several researchers who had been waiting in the main lobby of the laboratory.

"Hmm!"

Joshua smiled and nodded: "I heard you finally have some results, so I am here on behalf of the board of directors to take a look!"

A white researcher with graying hair looked proud, completely devoid of the embarrassment he had shown during Joshua's previous visits to the laboratory.

His name is Steven Fauci, and he is the chief consultant of this KSI laboratory.

"Sir!" he replied with a smile: "Scientific research is just like this; in the vast majority of cases, it requires massive investment plus long-term persistence to get a return. No one can defy this process, especially in this era of rapid technological development. As basic research is gradually completed, it will only be harder for current research to go further on the foundation of the castles built by predecessors!"

Joshua nodded but said nothing.

Everyone understands the logic, but capitalists do not care about the equivalent formula of research + investment + time + persistence; they care more about results, and only results.

You must know that although KSI is a private company, the composition of its board of directors is very complex, including investment sharks from Wall Street as well as investment institutions affiliated with several domestic arms companies.

KSI even received some military funding from the Ministry of National Defense; in a sense, although it is not a state-owned enterprise, it is deeply bound to the national interests of the United States.

Therefore, if KSI wants to obtain more funding and investment, it must regularly produce some results.

And over the past few years, KSI has been doing quite well.

After a series of scans and processing, Joshua arrived inside a laboratory with a very high security clearance.

As soon as he entered the laboratory, what caught his eyes was an office area composed of hundreds of Computer Science experts and Engineers.

Although a few Engineers were distracted and glanced at Joshua when the rear door opened, most people were busy in front of their computers; some were responsible for monitoring the code on the screens, some were responsible for adjustments, and others were communicating with other colleagues through headsets.

In front of the office area was a huge tempered glass wall. Through the glass wall, Joshua could clearly see that in the test area on the other side, dozens of people wearing white lab coats, or simply wearing full protective suits, were connecting wires to a small Beetle car.

"How much longer?"

Joshua came to the tempered glass wall, looked at the laboratory side without turning his head, and asked.

He could not wait to see the upcoming experiment.

"Right away!"

Steven Fauci looked at the researchers on the side, and immediately one of them replied: "We are doing the final data debugging, and there are still some small problems that haven't been solved!"

"About how long?" Joshua asked impatiently.

"Uh..."

Several researchers looked at each other, then all looked at Steven Fauci. He hesitated for a moment before answering Joshua: "Right away, three minutes at most!"

"Good!"

The three minutes passed quickly!

Joshua withdrew his gaze from the watch on his wrist and asked again: "Is it ready?"

"It is ready!"

"Then let's begin!"

Following his order, the Computer Science Engineers in the office area began to transmit the pre-designed programming database to the Beetle car more than ten meters away.

At the same time, dozens of wires surrounding the Beetle car also began to continuously input electrical energy into the Beetle car.

"Data transmission complete!"

"Preparing to activate the database and load the data!"

"Database activation starting..."

"FU*K... encountered the same BUG as last time..."

"Ignore it, continue loading the data..."

As the president of KSI, he had quite a bit of classified intelligence regarding the company, the military, and even aliens.

For example, it is not just their KSI company; including the United States military, there are currently at least a hundred research institutions and companies within the territory of the United States conducting research and experiments related to aliens.

Joshua's KSI clearly has an advantage over them. Not only did they receive a batch of private companies from Sector 7 researchers, but last year, KSI also found a very magical metal in the Arctic Circle that can well replace the alloys on aliens that are still too high-tech to be mastered.

Moreover, KSI also has Steven Fauci, this technical expert; he also came from the former Sector 7 and has solved a large number of technical problems for KSI's alien research.

It is no exaggeration to say that the reason why KSI's threshold for researching aliens is much higher than other companies and institutions is half due to the mysterious metal discovered in the Arctic Circle and half due to Steven Fauci.

"What happened?"

Joshua noticed the panic in the office area and asked with a frown.

Steven Fauci looked a little embarrassed, "Some small technical problems!"

Joshua was not so easy to fool; he frowned and looked at him coldly.

Steven Fauci felt uncomfortable under his gaze and soon sighed: "Fine, we encountered a technical difficulty that cannot be solved for the time being! But it's not serious!"

Joshua frowned even more deeply and asked unhappily: "What difficulty?"

"Your requirement and the military's requirement is that you hope we can artificially manufacture our own mechanical Warriors to fight those aliens. And for the sake of control, you also asked us to make these mechanical Warriors more like Autobots!"

Steven Fauci took a paper box out of his pocket, opened it, poured out a piece of chewing gum, and threw it into his mouth.

Then he handed the box to Joshua, but Joshua waved his hand to refuse.

"Thanks, no need! Continue..."

"We have always been working towards this. But I don't know if it's because the alien remains we have obtained are mostly Decepticons. Although we have tried to constantly modify the database, the operating database we created for them by imitating the thinking logic of aliens, once it starts to be transmitted and loaded into their bodies, a BUG that cannot be solved will appear..."

After speaking, Steven Fauci pointed to the tempered glass side.

Joshua hurriedly looked in the direction of his finger. He saw that as the Awakening experiment began, a familiar pattern was automatically generating on the hood of the Beetle car located in the laboratory.

It was exactly the race icon representing the Decepticons!
