Sun Miao raised an eyebrow, "You’re quite well-inford! Yes, there are a total of ten parallel project teams. Mine is Team One, currently ranking first in progress. The progress of Team Two is right behind . I can only suppress my side for now, but in two months, Team Two will surpass ."
"Are you and Team Two developing completely in parallel? Sa route?"
"No, Team Two’s direction is more sinister than mine."
"How so?"
"In my proposal, the entire process of the cultivators from birth to death occurs in deep sleep, with mory and perception established in a dream. The cultivators are unaware they are cultivators; they can live a relatively decent life within the dream."
Ren Zhong: "Brain in a vat?"
Sun Miao was montarily stunned, "What do you an?"
After Ren Zhong explained to him, Sun Miao nodded, "That’s about right, your term is quite apt."
Ren Zhong: "What about Team Two?"
"In Team Two’s direction, the cultivators will have a biological clock like ordinary people, with 16 hours of wakefulness every day, but they will be immobilized."
Ren Zhong gasped, "Wouldn’t they live in eternal agony from birth? Watching as new heads keep growing and then being lopped off until they die?"
Sun Miao nodded, "Yes, the experintal samples in Team Two’s direction often experience ntal breakdowns. Mine is more stable, and in so sense, more humane. But mine... is more efficient. Once I release it, the ngdu Group will likely temporarily halt other project teams, rging everything into mine and starting large-scale clinical trials. I don’t want that. To use a Chinese phrase you taught , I can’t ’help a tyrant in his evildoing.’"
Ren Zhong pondered for a long ti, "Brother Sun, hand it over."
"What do you an?"
"You’re doing sneaky work at the ngdu Group’s research headquarters; after all, you’re under their noses. Your side projects can’t be completely hidden from the ngdu Group. They will be exposed."
Sun Miao spread his hands, "No matter, if I die, I die."
"But if you die, you’ll implicate . I’ll undoubtedly die too. Source Star only has twenty years left; the Nine Major Groups are planning a relocation... In short, if no one can figure out the truth about life expectancy, if no one can make the wastelanders live like humans, there are only two ways the Nine Major Groups will handle the wastelanders before the interstellar migration begins: kill most, and turn a few into human brain cultivation machines."
"Our responsibility is likely greater than you imagine. You must learn to look at problems from a longer-term perspective; what we pursue is not just what’s right in front of us."
"This..." Sun Miao gasped.
Ren Zhong’s words carried too much information.
Sun Miao digested for a long ti, then gritted his teeth, "Alright! Let’s do as you say!"
"Okay, survive this. Regarding the experint, you can actually slow down a bit. My ability to earn money is greater than you think. There will always be a way."
Sun Miao thought for a mont, "Then I’ll just make a fertilized egg, protect it with a layer of isolation, and hide it inside my body."
Ren Zhong gave a thumbs up, "Brother Sun, aweso!"
Sun Miao glared at him fiercely, "Wait, I’ll also teach you a thod for long-term preservation of the crystal chip."
Ren Zhong: "I know."
"Damn! How do you know everything!"
Ren Zhong spread his hands and shrugged, "Maybe... that’s just genius."
"Get lost!"
Sun Miao dispersed.
...
That night, Ren Zhong first made a trip to Qi Mountain to pick up Yujin and the Alien Ore.
Then, lying on Ju Qingng’s sofa, he rapidly completed a new armor design within an hour, transmitting the complete design draft to Ju Qingng in the hibernation space. He spent the remaining five hours training with Ma Xiaoling so more.
...
In the blink of an eye, three days passed, the 70th day.
The Demon Infant died.
Yet again.
Poor thing, it died a day earlier than last ti.
That afternoon, the newly popular Ren Zhong appeared at Liao Yuan Science College.
The morning of the 71st day, the old lecturer at the Science College began to question life.
The hacker and Information Flow Shield Master introduced by Shi Xuan reappeared in Ren Zhong’s sights.
Last ti, Ren Zhong hadn’t managed to wait for these two before things fell apart.
This ti, Ren Zhong was ruthless, giving them a deadline of one month.
If they took more than a month to arrive, there would be only ten million yuan as a service fee per person.
For each day they arrived earlier, an additional two million in service fees would be added.
If you can co today, then I’ll give each of you forty million.
The two got anxious and imdiately patted their chests, assuring President Ren that they would definitely arrive within seven days at the latest!
Also on the afternoon of the 71st day, Ren Zhong t with Xiao Xingyue again, completing a sowhat trivial interview.
The 72nd day, Ren Zhong established a student stock trading group.
Although he wouldn’t lead everyone in space shipbuilding, there were other stocks that could be manipulated a bit.
Various details were almost a repeat of the last ti, only the timing kept changing slightly.
On the 75th day, at Ren Zhong’s strong request, he completed the Fourth Level Mining Engineer final assessnt ahead of schedule, passing with full marks!
This ti, he was the top scorer at the continent level on the First Continent.
The reason he was rushing so much was very simple.
First, Sun Miao was "released without charge," and he would return to Starfire Town that evening.
Second, the private armor improvent laboratory he spent five billion building was about to be completed. Publicly, he declared that he would use this lab to turn himself into the perfect warrior, so he equipped it with a lot of "redundant" equipnt.
Each piece of this redundant equipnt wasn’t abnormal, but if the internal parts were disassembled and reassembled, it could form half a processing line for Alien Ore, the other half required Sun Miao.
This was the ultimate technology, a specialty of Source Star, ford from combining biotechnology and materials science technology.
Of course, ordinary people couldn’t dismantle it.
Dismantling would only break it, but Ren Zhong felt he could give it a try.
Ren Zhong’s grand sche was about to unfold.
