Mechanical Flesh

Compared with other departments, although the number of people in the biological and mechanical laboratory is the smallest, it still occupies an entire independent building.

Chief Maureen’s laboratory is located on the bottom floor of the entire building. The only way to enter is through the chief’s direct elevator. Unless Maureen’s permission is obtained, even the rest of the board of directors cannot enter Maureen. Laboratory.

The top of Maureen’s laboratory, from the second floor to the twentieth floor, is a total of nineteen floors, all of which are reserved for level 4 researchers. Now there are only seven level 4 researchers in the laboratory, occupying seven of them. , The other twelve floors are all vacant.

　　 Behind every fourth-level researcher, there is a huge research team, including many assistant researchers, first-level researchers, second-level researchers, and even third-level researchers. There are also a large number of service personnel in the living area.

　　Tan Qiu, for example, occupies the tenth floor, while Feng Qian is on the sixth floor. Every newly promoted Level 4 researcher can choose the floor he wants among the vacant floors and use it as his own laboratory.

On the 20th floor, there is a third-level researcher's laboratory. Compared with the exclusive privilege of the fourth-level researcher, the third-level researcher's treatment is relatively inferior. Generally, there are three to four third-level researchers. Live on one floor.

　　 Although the third-level researchers also have their own independent laboratories, certain special instruments will not be separately configured for the third-level researchers, and can only be shared by all the third-level researchers.

Above it is the second-level researcher's laboratory, except for those who join other advanced research laboratories, they are basically gathered on the 41st to the forty-second floor. The laboratory conditions are worse than those of the third-level researcher Some, some special equipment is not equipped, if you want to use it, you can only apply for it in the laboratory of a third-level researcher.

　　 Further up, is where the first-level researcher and assistant researcher are located. They basically don't have their own independent laboratory, but the residence is arranged in the building.

　　 In the lounge on the seventh floor of the research building, Feng Qian was carefully watching a project application document through the projection screen. A man in a white robe sat behind him, as if dozing off.

　　 The bare arms and neck of the man in the white robe show a metallic blue-black color, which is the luster of metal parts.

　　 The researchers in the Biological and Mechanical Research Laboratory are mostly people with the ability of flesh and blood. Although there are a few mechanics, they at least retain the flesh and blood of their heads.

　　 Although the mechanical body has many advantages that the flesh and blood body can't match, in the experimental research, it seems to have a set of invisible gates, blocking those mechanics who have abandoned all human bodies.

　　 is not only the biological and mechanical research laboratory of the Black Steel Shelter, but also the laboratories of other shelters. None of the researchers above Tier 2 is a mechanic who has abandoned all flesh and blood.

　　 After watching for a while, Feng Qian turned his gaze away from the holographic projection, turned the chair, and looked at the man in white robe in front of him.

　　 "How is Qi Yuan's reaction now?" Feng Gan asked.

　　 "Nothing happens." The white-robed man slowly opened his eyes.

　　 "After Tan Qiu told him that the project application was rejected, the two had a brief conversation, and then Qi Yuan returned to his laboratory without making any noise."

　　 Fenggan muttered for a moment, then said slowly.

　　 "Judging from Qi Yuan's previous acting style, he will not be so easy to admit defeat. Pay attention to his every move and don't let him take advantage of it."

　　 The white-robed man nodded.

"On the project review team, I have already deployed staff. As long as Qi Yuan submits a project application, I will get news as soon as possible. No matter what project he applies for, I will follow up on a project of the same type. He will not have any chance. !"

　　 "Qi Yuan won't admit defeat so easily." Feng Qian reminded.

"When he was in the steel chariot, in order to prevent him from entering the sanctuary, Ke Shoulin was resolved by him many times. Not only did he not stop him from entering the laboratory, he also got in several Tier 4 black gloves. The Dangerous Management Department has been watching, causing a lot of trouble."

　　 Feng Qian never despises any enemy, especially since he suffered a big loss on this enemy.

　　 Although Qi Yuan is only a second-level researcher, there is still Tan Qiu behind him, and that is an opponent equal to himself.

　　 "I will pay attention to the news from Qi Yuan." The man nodded, paused, and then said.

　　 "I believe that after a while, after the influence of Ai Xin's personal comments disappears, Qi Yuan will understand his own situation and succumb to reality."

"This is a laboratory, not a wilderness without rules. Although the rules can protect his life, it also means that he cannot use those unconventional means to break the situation. For at least two years, his independent laboratory should not even think about research. Outcomes."

　　 "As long as I can block Qi Yuan for two years, he will almost be abandoned!"

　　 "You can't stop it for two years." Feng Qian shook his head.

　　 "When Qi Yuan realizes that the application project is not working, he will definitely switch to Tan Qiu's laboratory. When he gives up fighting alone, although the speed of advancement will be much slower, he can get rid of your suppression."

　　 "Tan Qiu's laboratory can help him block a lot of pressure, but it can never give him the status of a third-level researcher! Unless Tan Qiu is willing to break the rules for him!" the man said slowly.

　　 In order to be promoted to the third-level researcher, in addition to academic points must reach 1,000 points, it is also required to publish an independently signed high-quality paper in a top journal.

　　 And all independent laboratories have an unspoken rule, that is, for papers that go out of the laboratory, the controller of the laboratory must be the first author.

　　 This means that if Qi Yuan wants to be promoted to the third-level researcher, he must step out of Tan Qiu's laboratory and undertake a research project independently.

　　 Just as the two were talking, the white-robed man's face suddenly moved slightly, he opened his personal assistant, and an unsigned email popped out.

　　 The man glanced at the content of the email, his expression looked a little surprised.

　　 "Qi Yuan submitted a new project application to the project review team again!" the man said.

　　 Fenggan's eyes condensed, and since Qi Yuan got the news that the first project was rejected, it has only been two days until now, Qi Yuan has actually applied for the second project.

For the vast majority of second-level researchers, it often takes several months to select a suitable research project. From entering the laboratory to the present, Qi Yuan has made two consecutive project declarations in only five days. This efficiency is simply amazing.

　　 Feng Qian used his own authority to call out Qi Yuan's project application, and then projected it in the lounge, and the two reviewed them together.

　　 The room was quiet again. Although it was also a second-order research project, it was not until half an hour later that the two people carefully read Qi Yuan's project application report.

　　 "From some of the data listed, Qi Yuan's project application is highly feasible, and the project review team has a high probability of passing the review." The white-robed man said slowly.

Feng Gan nodded. He originally thought that Qi Yuan was writing a project application at will to test his attitude, but he did not expect that the project declaration was logically clear, and there were many supporting data. This proved that Qi Yuan was here. A lot of work has been done on the project.

　　 How did Qi Yuan do it?

　　 How many research projects are in his mind?

From the Berserkers to the papers personally reviewed by Ai Xin in the "Hope" journal, to two project applications in five days, Qi Yuan's every step was beyond his expectation.

　　 "Could it be that Tan Qiu was helping secretly?" The white-robed man asked with some suspicion.

　　 "It's possible," Feng Qian said.

　　 In addition to this reason, he could not think of a second suitable reason.

　　 "Regardless of whether or not talking about Qiu secretly assisting, Qi Yuan cannot be allowed to pass the project application!" Feng Qian said.

Academic suppression exists in every laboratory, and many people have acquiesced in the existence of this phenomenon, but if a third-level researcher uses the same method to **** a second-level researcher's project in just a few days, it will inevitably Was labeled an ugly label.

　　 The white-robed man was silent for a few seconds, then slowly said, "I will prepare the project application right away."

　　 Fenggan nodded.

　　 "Don't worry, I will double the rewards promised before!"

　　 After the white-robed man left, Feng Qian's eyes fell on Qi Yuan's project application again, and his keen intuition made him feel something wrong.

　　 If it is said that Qi Yuan was caught off guard for the first time to steal the project, then this time the project application is a bit like knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and preferring to go to the mountains.

　　 Even with the help of Tan Qiu, for a second-level researcher, behind finding a suitable project, it also represents countless efforts of wisdom and sweat. Why did Qi Yuan do this?

　　 Is it deliberately provocative?

　　 Still don’t have a picture?

　　 Fenggan's thoughts flickered, but he never got the answer he wanted.

　　 In the laboratory on the tenth floor, Tan Qiu was also checking the project application submitted by Qi Yuan. Like Feng Qian, the frequency of her project application submission by Qi Yuan was equally shocking.

　　 Su Li sits not far away bored, her eyes are empty, her attention doesn't know where she falls, and after a while, she recovered from Tan Qiu's gaze.

　　 "Give you a task to spread the news that the research project Qi Yuan applied for was snatched by Xiao Yu again." Tan Qiu said.

　　 Su Li heard this, and said with some disapproval:

　　 "I'm a Tier 4 mechanic, do such rumorous things all day long?"

　　 Tan Qiu glanced at him, silently took out the gamepad, ready to operate.

Su Li's face changed immediately when she saw this, and she patted her chest and said, "I do things, don't worry! I am the best at spreading gossip! I can guarantee that the entire laboratory will know the news before dark! "

　　 Tan Qiu nodded, then put down the game controller in his hand.

　　 Su Li wiped off his cold sweat, and left the room without looking back.

　　 Two children, when Su Li came back again, besides a little more alcohol, there was also a black box in her hand.

　　 Tan Qiu raised his brows when he saw this, and was about to take out the handle, but only heard Su Li yelling:

　　 "Can you not always threaten me with this broken handle, I've done it!"

　　 Tan Qiu looked at him expressionlessly. After seeing Su Li's unreliable side, Tan Qiu didn't believe what Su Li said after drinking.

　　 "between people, can you trust me more!"

　　 Su Li spit out while finding a place on the sofa, and placed a comfortable Ge You lying on it.

　　 "After everything was done, I went to Qi Yuan's laboratory, and he asked me to bring you something."

　　 Su Li waved the box in his hand.

　　 "Do you want to know, what's in it?"

　　 Seeing Tan Qiu looking at herself with a smile, Su Li couldn't help but whispered, then threw the box in her hand over.

　　 Tan Qiu took the box and opened it and saw that there were a few black hairs, some nails, and one hundred milliliters of blood in it.

　　 "Unexpectedly, he is quite sensible!"

　　 Tan Qiu closed the box with satisfaction.

　　 "What else did he say?"

　　 Seeing Tan Qiu put down the handle, Su Li returned to a weak state again.

　　 "I didn't say anything, just let me find a way to inquire about the progress of Xiao Yu's several projects, this kid must be stunned, and he should be ready to attack Xiao Yu."

Tan Qiu was silent for a while. Several experimental projects under Xiao Yu's name were all through project applications. They took the project funds allocated by the laboratory. The project review team members had just checked the progress of his experiments half a month ago. Although these materials cannot be seen by others, they are not secrets to myself.

　　 Tan Qiu glanced at the box in his hand. He was waiting for me here.

Even without these things, he would give Qi Yuan a certain amount of help, but this kind of free help, which is almost charity, will definitely not last long, so Qi Yuan took the initiative to take out those things and tried to turn the relationship between the two into A transaction.

　　 After talking about autumn for a while, he finally clicked on the verification data of Xiao Yu's research project by the project review team.

　　 Five days later, when Qi Yuan personally submitted the project application to the project review team for the third time, not only the members of the project review team, but even the researchers passing by, couldn't help but cast a surprised look.

　　 The average second-level researcher who was bullied by academics and snatched two consecutive project applications in less than a week, I am afraid it would have collapsed long ago.

　　 Qi Yuan not only did not collapse, but quickly came up with the third project application. This mentality and efficiency are simply incredible.

　　 When Qi Yuan put down the project application and turned to leave, a third-level researcher with short silver-gray hair leaned over and proactively extended his right hand.

　　 "Qi Yuan, get to know, my name is Le Huaizhou!"

　　 Qi Yuan stopped in a little surprise, and now he is in trouble. At this time, there are not many people who dare to approach him.

　　 However, Qi Yuan still stretched out his right hand and held Le Huaizhou's right hand.

"Nice to meet you!"

　　 Le Huaizhou smiled slightly.

　　 "I read your paper, it is indeed a perfect third-order energy matrix, which is fully worthy of Ai Xin's evaluation!"

　　 "Thank you for sure!" Qi Yuan said with a smile

Le Huaizhou suddenly narrowed his smile and said with a serious expression: "We have all seen your accomplishments on the energy matrix, but many things cannot be changed by our strength alone. What Xiao Yu did, I have already given up the dignity that a Level 3 researcher should have. You don't need to fight him in this way."

　　 Qi Yuan's eyes darkened, and he wrote all his disappointment and unwillingness on his face.

　　 "I never thought about confronting anyone, I just want to do research quietly."

　　 Le Huaizhou sighed and said:

　　 "Go to someone else's laboratory. Although you can't get the first author, it's better than being dragged here by Xiao Yu."

　　 Qi Yuan bit his lip, stubbornly shook his head.

　　 "I want to try again! I don't believe that Xiao Yu can really cover the sky in the laboratory!"
