The Entire Mankind is Acting As Me, I Shall Secretly Build a Battleship and Shock the World-Chapter 147 - It’s The Droplet!
Chapter 147: It’s The Droplet!
The news of Raymond’s arrival would be communicated to the heads of the related institutes.
Heads of institutes were often more like little brothers in name.
However, the Heads of any institute in Area 53 had real, legit power.
Their power, measured in money, allowed them to approve the spending of $50 billion a year without anyone looking over their shoulder.
Even if they spent $50 billion in one go, no one would bat an eyelid.
Even if they squandered it, it did not matter.
That’s just how much power they had.
But they still have to rely on some means to stabilize their position.
The Director of the Second Research Institute, Camilla, was a middle-aged woman.
She looked average, so she couldn’t use her beauty to rope in her subordinates.
However, she was willing to pay them handsomely, and she had extremely sharp eyes.
Therefore, several talents were willing to work with her.
Raymond’s arrival was another opportunity for her.
Without saying anything, she immediately called a few people to a meeting.
“Nelson, you are a researcher of energy weapons. What do you think of Raymond’s laser cannon? Do you think we need to invite him to our research institute?”
Nelson lowered his head to think and did not answer immediately.
“Patrick, what about you?”
Patrick almost did not hesitate. “Director, I am a researcher of neural networks, Raymond probably doesn’t know anything about it!”
“Raymond’s a superhuman learner. What if he picks it up?”
Patrick said, “Director, it’s not like you don’t know how complex my subject matter is. As good as he is, he has always referred to books. As for me, I’m a self-taught explorer. I reckon he’s not as good as me…”
“Haha… Patrick, you’re not afraid that Raymond will come and snatch your job, are you?”
“How would that be possible?”
Patrick immediately stood up. “Yes! Chief, I do have such concerns. You know me very well! But, him taking my job aside, I hope that he can fully understand the neural brain and hand over the technology to me!”
“Chief, you know me. I work for the greater good, not my self-interests!”
After saying that, Patrick sat down.
Camilla looked at Patrick and deliberated for a moment. She already had an answer in her heart.
However, she still had to ask the other scientists.
This was the moment to show her ability.
Even if she had already decided, she would still ask.
This was how she handled her subordinates.
In the eyes of the workers, they would feel needed and appreciated.
This was how she maintained such a strong following.
The meeting ended very quickly.
Camilla waved her hand and immediately led the team to the central elevator entrance.
They boarded an express elevator and rushed to the ground.
Although Camilla believed that she was already fast, other teams were already there.
However, they were all greeted by the sight of the 21-meter-tall Gundam.
The pitch-black body gleamed fiercely under the morning sun.
It was equipped with many weapons, making the Gundam look extremely intimidating.
Camilla tried her best to control herself and focused her attention on the front.
From afar, Camilla could hear an almost flattering tone.
“Everyone in our research institute likes you very much. The nano-neutrino battery that you made comes even more highly recommended.”
“This kind of technology is something that we have always dreamed of. If possible, we can share our most valuable knowledge with you. Whatever you like, we can give it to you!”
“Moreover, you don’t have to worry about any slow-learners on our side. All we need is a single demonstration from you, and we will handle it among ourselves!”
Hearing the slightly hoarse voice, Camilla recognized its owner as the Director of the Fifth Research Institute.
He was just as unique as she was.
On the surface, this person was easy to get along with.
But at some critical moments, he would set his words in stone.
As far as Camilla remembered, several departments in the United States had suffered losses in his hands.
Even then, nobody had a sure way of handling him yet.
Raymond was young, it was possible for him to play into his hands.
However, now was not the time to think about this. She had to first win Raymond over!
After carefully analyzing Raymond’s personality, Camilla immediately made a decision.
Raymond had not yet agreed to anything, proving that their offers did not move Raymond.
He seemed wise beyond his years to wait for the right bid.
Before he reached them, Camilla was already projecting her voice over.
“Thunder God, from what I know, you should be very eager to get your hands on some bleeding-edge CPU technology. In our second research institute, we have technology related to neural networks. Are you interested in following us to take a look?”
By the time she was done speaking, Camilla had already walked up to Raymond.
At the same time, Camilla smiled and stretched out her hand. “I am the Director of the Second Research Institute, Camilla!”
Camilla’s move had been very effective.
The people from the Fifth Research Institute subconsciously opened up a gap.
As the people from the second research institute arrived, they quickly took the role of hosts.
“Hello, I am Raymond.”
Raymond reached out and shook Camilla’s hand gently.
At the same time, he was also a little puzzled.
“Why did you call me Thunder God?”
“Hahaha! Actually, this title was given by those netizens on the live broadcast. If you don’t like it, I can change the title.”
“You can just call me Raymond. I came here to observe and learn. I can’t say that I’m fond of that weird title.”
“I can see that! Haha, people like you are usually in awe of science, and our research institute favors scholars such as yourself!”
Camilla quietly suppressed the people from the Fifth Research Institute.
“Am I right to say that you guys are researching neural patterns that mimic biological brains from the CPU of an alien spaceship?”
Raymond threw out the question that he was most concerned about.
Camilla and the Director of the Fifth Research Institute revealed an expression of ‘as expected’ at the same time.
The security forces had already mentioned something like that.
If Ramon did not know about the aliens, then he would not have mentioned them.
If he did know, there was no need to hide it.
“Yes, the neural brain that we are researching is the central controller of the ‘droplet’. It is capable of commanding the entire spaceship!”
“‘Droplet’, is that your nickname for the alien spaceship?”
“Yes, that thing looks like a droplet of water, so it’s called a droplet!”
“Oh… That does sound interesting!”
“Then… Let’s go to our Second Research Institute and take a look?”
Just as Camilla thought that she was about to succeed, the director of the Fifth Research Institute spoke up.
“Ramon, that ship isn’t actually in Research Institute No. 2…”
