So next...

"...Higa-san, apart from your incomplete accelerated stealth technology and the [External Computing Assist System (Plugin Processor)], do you have anything else to show off?"

Let’s not mention the promise to Kayaba Akihiko for now. It is a group plan that requires long-term publicity preparation and facility preparation. There is no need to start a lengthy discussion here.

So after Hoshikaku nodded to Kayaba Akihiko, he turned his attention to Higa Ken, eager to get some news about new toys from him.

But the result is obvious...he can only be disappointed.

"Uh...no more."

Higa Takeru looked a little depressed when he was asked.

"Mr. Boss, doing scientific research is not by plane, how can it be so fast?

Although the teacher used the magic acceleration plug-in to lay the foundation for us..."

Dr. Shigemura on the side smiled.

“But in less than a year, my team of more than 200 people and I can only do so much.

I’m really sorry.”

Higa Takeru said he was sorry, but there was no hint of apology in his words.

"Hey, Kayaba has three results, but you only have two. Is it because you are a junior?"

The star expresses regret.

"Oh!!? Can scientific research be judged by quantity?"

Higa Ken was shocked. It turns out that you, the big boss, calculate performance in this way. Then next time, wouldn’t I be able to...

"Haha, of course not, it's just a joke.

No matter how stupid I am, I still know that the subjects over there are more difficult."

And not to mention that Xing Ke is simply an "ordinary person" with a normal IQ. Of course he won't force a group of scientific researchers to produce results in a short period of time. It's simply impossible, right?

Kayaba Akihiko was able to come up with practical technical products because of the previous accumulation of Shigemura Research Institute and the plug-in provided by Hoshikatsu to Dr. Shigemura himself.

[NERvGear] is just a basic first-generation full stealth device, and a finished product similar to it was available a year ago.

What Kayaba Akihiko is studying is more about [TheSeed] and [Incarnate System] that are matched with [NERvGear]. At most, he can also redesign the complete stealth equipment, mix in dangerous private information, and a series of other tasks.

It's normal for him to be able to come up with useful information.

Takeru Higa is different. He has reopened a new path of "human-machine integration" based on complete stealth equipment.

One year is not enough time to conduct several sets of controlled experiments. Higa Takeru's ability to discover a new research direction and establish a research path can only show that he is a young genius with both luck and innovative thinking.

"It seems it's still a matter of time..."

Xing Ke sighed a little. Sure enough, in the world of technological cities, cheating is inevitable.

"I'm considering whether to equip each of you with a [time pocket watch]..."

"sure!"

"Of course not!"

But what Xingke didn't expect was that the issue of [Time Pocket Watch] would cause such a big reaction.

One man and one woman, two voices, put forward completely opposite opinions at the same time.

"Why can't it be done? Isn't the ability of [Time Pocket Watch] exactly what we need? Senior sister, do you have any opinions?"

Ken Higa is a supportive party.

"Isn't that obvious? The side effects of [Time Pocket Watch] are too obvious!

In the field of thirty-two times acceleration, everyone in the field, except for the holder of the pocket watch, ages at a speed of thirty-two times. Don’t you know how many researchers have died in the past two years?”

The person who expressed his opposition was Rinko Kamishiro, who had always been Kayaba Akihiko's shadow and didn't speak much.

"Kamidai-senpai, since you have received convenience, there must be a price. This is natural."

Takeru Higa, who was originally a little excited because of Rinko Kamishiro's interruption and wanted to prevent him from getting the acceleration plug-in in advance, suddenly didn't feel anything after hearing Rinko Kamishiro's reason for stopping him and leaned back in his chair easily.

In his understanding, there is a reward only if there is a price.

This research institute and this laboratory base are the best proof. Isn’t the reason why this place is able to produce scientific and technological achievements thirty years ahead of the outside world, regardless of the cost?

"But, Higa, how can a researcher's life be compared with those of white mice?"

Kamishiro Rinko has been in this research institute for more than a day or two, and she is not a pedantic person either.

"Unlike those scum that are just human bodies, every researcher here is an elite among human beings, and every one of them is precious.

They are not machines to assist in experiments or scientific research, nor are they the work of one person... It is really not worth wasting their lives here."

"..."

Looking at Higa Takeru who was silenced by Rinko Kamishiro, Hoshikatsu felt a little emotional.

Human beings are all creatures with emotions. No matter how cold-blooded they are towards the experimental subjects, of course they cannot allow them to be sacrificed by the colleagues who experiment with them and live with them.

Moreover, there is another sentence that is also important——

【Scientific research is not a matter of one person.】

As the era enters the 21st century, the individual economy has developed into a collective economy, and the scope and depth of all walks of life have expanded countless times. There are no more omnipotent people in the world.

Everyone can only be proficient in one or two industries in their lifetime, and they are absolutely blind to the secrets and principles of other industries.

Everyone is a screw for a moment.

They are also undergraduate and graduate students, and students from the art department can use colors and lines superbly, but they can never calculate an example question in the "Advanced Mathematics I" textbook.

Maybe I have forgotten all the math in high school.

The same is true in reverse. For a child in a polytechnic, as long as there is no conflicting color in the clothing matching, it will be a blessing. Can you expect him to use the appropriate color at the appropriate time to give people a proper enjoyment?

He can test the detailed parameters of a material's hardness, toughness, pressure resistance, etc., but if you ask him to design it as a beautiful handicraft... then let's discuss what to have for dinner?

This is the characteristic of modern technology, but it is also a limitation.

Almighty people are no longer born, and the spirit of craftsmanship gradually disappears...

Even though it may seem like a research project with only one [Virtual Reality and Total Stealth Equipment], it contains more than just one subject [Quantum Physics].

This institute covers everything from quantum physics to computer programming to medical fields derived from brain neurology, and even includes hundreds of disciplines of all sizes, including nanomaterials, microscopic electronics, etc., involving related majors.

The number of personnel will only increase, not decrease, and there will be no useless person.

On the other hand, this research institute is a magical cave that can only be entered but cannot be exited...

"That's true. When I started using a pocket watch and couldn't control the time ratio, a few old guys died on the experimental bench before me.

Now that I think about it, I feel a little emotional..."

Dr. Shigemura, an old ghost who uses a [time pocket watch], is feeling emotional at this time. Where is your moral integrity?

"Don't look at me... I'm using the 32x speed just because I can't bear it, okay?

Otherwise I would have turned on the three thousand times acceleration mode..."

I still feel wronged to you, don’t you? Xing Mo is powerless to complain about this old man.

Seeing that the atmosphere around him was frozen, Xingji decided to stand up.
Chapter completed!
