Chapter 3 Extreme Methods

"They can't do that!"

A middle-aged man roared loudly in the face of human-shaped images.

Anger stirred up the blue veins on his forehead, and the eyes that were covered with bloodshot due to lack of sleep made his entire face look very ferocious.

Facing the roar, the human image shrugged and answered with helplessness.

"Sorry, Dr. Liang, this is the decision of the board of directors, and I have no choice."

"Thomas," Liang Zhiqiang, who felt that he was out of control, calmed down and said with a plea: "Now is a critical moment. If... if it is terminated, then the past ten years of research will be in vain. I cannot do this. I hope you will explain to the board of directors that as long as I am allowed to complete the research, I can agree to them any conditions!"

"I am very clear about the importance of this project and have been helping you deal with it. General Benson was convinced by me and expressed that he would fully support your research."

"Since that's the case, why did the board of directors terminate this project?"

Liang Zhiqiang was puzzled that General Benson, the boss of Chuangshi Group, expressed his support for the project, so why the subordinate subsidiaries wanted to go against his wishes? This was obviously unreasonable.

But Thomas's answer made all this reasonable.

"It's the guys from the Star Committee who are stumbled behind the scenes."

"Interstellar Commission? What does this have to do with them."

For those who are busy doing research, the problem is not something that he can understand and understand when it reaches the political level. On the contrary, Thomas, as a Chuangshi Group Coo, is very good at this.

"The election will be in half a year. If your research results are released before the election, it will completely change the current campaign pattern. The general's approval rating will increase and it is very likely to win the interstellar election next year. This is undoubtedly a huge threat to the consul Sando who seeks re-election. So he thought of a way to find someone to report your research to the church. When the Pope saw this, he was shocked! In his eyes, only God can transform human genes, and you are not God."

"So, the church put pressure on the board, and most of the directors were devout believers, and eventually chose to obey, so my research became a victim, right?"

"Yes, that's how it is."

Thomas nodded, he knew what this would definitely bring. Sure enough, a pair of fists fell in front of him, and with a "bang", the 3D image also shook violently.

"Bastard! A liar with sweet words! I'm in vain and I'm in a fight with his classmate, and I trust him so much, but in the end I'm treating me like this. If I had known today, I wouldn't have had contact with him at the beginning. I really want to... I really want to kill this bastard!" Liang Zhi cursed with a powerful voice, his face, which looked a bit ferocious, now his facial features became even more distorted.

On the other end of the video, Thomas clearly felt an irrepressible anger.

"Please calm down, Dr. Liang. Anger cannot solve the problem. If your excessive remarks are heard by the 'inspectators', they will get into big trouble."

Warning is more effective than comforting at this moment. Liang Zhiqiang, who had already had blood-filled pupils, felt his heart tremble after hearing the three words "Inspector". Obviously he knew what that meant. In the area where the anti-crime regulations were controlled, he would be investigated. What's more, his target was the consul of the Interstellar Commission. If it was really recorded, he might have spent the rest of his life in "Bapal".

Liang Zhiqiang took a deep breath and adjusted his emotions. During this period, he unconsciously glanced around. Thomas saw this little move, and he calmly reminded: "Don't worry, the blocking facilities are very good. I said that just now, just hope you calm down as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Liang Zhiqiang's distorted facial features returned to his original position. He held a glimmer of hope and asked Thomas again in a sad voice: "I know you must have a solution, right? Every time there is a problem, you can always solve it, and I believe this time is no exception. Please... please tell me, I... I... I really want to complete this project. I have been working hard for fifteen years, and finally I am only one step away from success. If I give up, I would rather choose to die. You know. So I ask you to help me, okay?"

Speaking of the second half, Liang Zhiqiang's voice was already choked. Thomas noticed that tears flashed in his eyes. Through the window of his heart, it seemed that he could see a man who had been fighting for his dream for more than ten years. He was hindered before the finish line, looking at the distance and crying.

He had also experienced this kind of despair, so he gave the other party what he wanted to hear the most in time.

"Please rest assured, I have already figured out a countermeasure."

As if Liang Zhiqiang had an amnesty, the light of hope suddenly arose from the bottom of his heart. He swept the haze on his face and asked close to the image: "What is the solution?"

Thomas did not say it immediately, but asked back: "My approach is a bit extreme, can you accept it?"

Liang Zhiqiang was stunned after hearing this, but then nodded: "As long as I can complete the research, I can accept anything."

"Since I can accept it, I will tell you what to do. For the sake of caution, I will only say it once, and you can listen carefully."

Thomas's serious expression made Dr. Liang feel a little nervous. He focused on his mind and waited for the other party to finish his words.

"After you go and prepare, I will cut off the safety net of the laboratory. You have fifteen minutes to copy the project information. Then go back and pack your luggage immediately. At 8 o'clock in the evening, take your children and luggage to the parking lot of the laboratory, where there is a car waiting. My people will send you to a new laboratory outside the control area where you can complete the project research."

"Leave the control area? If you leave without informing me, you will be listed as a wanted person. What's more, it's a wild place, so how can there be a laboratory?"

"I told you that the practice will be extreme, so you don't need to know the details. Remember, the parking lot will be 8 o'clock tonight. If you miss it, don't expect to continue researching."

"But..."

Liang Zhiqiang wanted to ask something, but the other party had turned off the communicator.

Escape from the control area is equivalent to giving up legal citizenship. On this colonial planet, it is a terrible thing to lose citizenship. Not only can you never return to the city to live, but you will also be wanted for life. Once caught, you will be exiled to "Babel". So the extreme degree of this method is indeed chilling.

‘If I don’t do this, do I have any other choice?’ Faced with the choice, Liang Zhiqiang thought deeply.

But after only three seconds, he had the answer - no!

Instead of sitting there waiting for death, it is better to give it a try.

This research will leave the name in history, which is the only thing he wants to accomplish in this life. For this reason, he gave up his family, resulting in the breakdown of his marriage, his wife left him, and even his biological son was left to the machine housekeeper to take care of him; he also gave up entertainment and socializing, and had no friends around him; he even gave up rest, and lack of sleep made his body worse and worse. He gave up so much to complete this research. For this reason, he was willing to do whatever he wanted, even if he was in exile for life.

I made up my mind and naturally felt much more relieved, and at the same time I was also excited.

Taking advantage of this force, Liang Zhiqiang turned around and rushed to the laboratory. He used the excuse to support his assistant and then used brain information to check the docking system. Because the safety network lost its effectiveness, the docking went smoothly. After success, it began to download related project content.

This is a tense and long process, with the progress bar moving at a constant speed. As information continues to flow in, Dr. Liang seemed to see his bitter journey over the years, bit by bit, vividly in his mind.

Finally, the progress bar reached its head and the information copy was completed. When the connection was disconnected, the safety net also restored its function.
