Chapter 1116: Chapter 898: What to Do?_2

"I will carefully consider this issue," Dr. Connell said coldly, eliciting laughter.

"Dr. Connell, let’s ignore the peepers for now and get back to the main topic. Why would he do this? Engage in forgery?" Li Gaoyang steered the conversation back.

"If you all take a serious look at science, history will tell you that the history of science is not all honorable. Forgery, plagiarism, suppression, and so on have pervaded the history of science."

"Once scientists achieve success, they often lose their way trying to break through or prove themselves, and then make some wrong moves."

"Scientists are human, and humans inevitably have human weaknesses. No one can escape that."

Dr. Connell could actually be sure that this topic would vanish like some past episodes.

"But, the doctors publishing in this online journal are all of significant stature. For instance, Manstein also published his latest findings on spinal cord injury research there. Would Manstein associate with a forger?" Rolf always tried to turn the tables.

"You finally said something sensible. I’ve also been thinking about this. For money? Manstein doesn’t care about our exorbitant salaries, so why would he care about the money?" Connell was full of doubts too.

"It’s very simple. We replicate their experiments. If we reach the same conclusions, then it’s true; if no one can replicate the same conclusions, then it’s false. It’s that simple, yet here we are arguing." Professor Madelan from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Stem Cell Laboratory, collaborating with BG Company, was getting impatient.

In reality, the scientists at BG Company were mostly not its employees but were professors from various universities and laboratories financially supported by it over the long term.

"Li Gaoyang, you tell Dr. Madelan why it might not work even so," Connell deflected the issue to Li Gaoyang.

"For technological secrecy, many of our technologies are never published. Some are published only to claim original discovery or invention. These publications often only announce results without revealing details, or they might even deliberately provide misleading details. As for people’s skepticism, it doesn’t matter, as the truth of the new technology will reveal itself when it’s launched," Li Gaoyang explained to Madelan.

These professors are generally quite naive, far less cunning and ruthless than a capital magnate like Li Gaoyang.

"So that’s it? You mean they might deliberately mislead us, causing the experiments to be irreproducible, and ultimately no one knows why it can’t be replicated?" Dr. Madelan felt that the matters at BG Company were too complicated.

"However, we must repeat the experiments, no matter the results. It’s a necessary step," Connell concluded.

Rolf shook his head: "It’s not just about saying we should replicate it. The director of that laboratory is a sly guy. I’ve made inquiries; if you want to replicate, you must obtain their gene activator, which is key to the experiment. But the cunning guy requires that replicators must provide technology they consider valuable in exchange for the activator."

"Technology they consider valuable?" Connell felt like cursing. This was like handing over their technologies for him to cherry-pick.

"This guy has a unique mind. He is the most valued student of Professor Fukunaga from Japan and is also the specialist in charge of stem cells and cloning projects in Professor Yang Ping’s team," Rolf said.

"Fukunaga’s student? You’re talking about that Tang bastard. In three months in my lab, he got my proudest student, Meyer, pregnant and she became a single mother."

"My student almost went to China with him, but fortunately, I discovered the conspiracy in time."

Dr. Madelan from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Stem Cell Laboratory said angrily, still remembering that despicable scoundrel.

"As far as I know, it seems your student willingly became a single mother for him, and she insisted on going with this Chinese man. But she stayed after being discouraged by the Chinese man. I think this Chinese man is decent; because of this relationship, he might allow you to send Meyer to visit. Others might not be so lucky," Rolf seemed to know quite a bit.

Professor Madelan’s face turned instantly red. Indeed, it was true, and saying that would be very embarrassing.

"Gentlemen, we have no interest in the romantic history of Professor Yang’s assistant. I just want to ask, what should we do?"

Li Gaoyang tapped the table lightly.

If they were to follow? That would mean completely switching tracks, and the company’s vast resources invested in the previous track would be rendered useless, thousands of scientists, over twenty years, several hundred billion US dollars, all would have been for naught. They would be following the Chinese man, far, far behind.

This was just an estimate of past losses. If they decide to follow, starting now, they would need to invest massive amounts of money and talent once again, enduring lengthy and endless trial and error. They might ultimately succeed, or they could completely fail.

If successful, the other party had already gone far.

Dr. Connell said, "I think we need to do two things now, verify the authenticity and replicate the experiment."

Rolf continued, "In my opinion, we should make Professor Yang Ping and his laboratory special focus objects, obtain all their data, assemble elites for analysis, and if it’s fake, we’ll drop it, and if it’s real, we’ll start research based on their data, which is better than starting from scratch, right?"

Li Gaoyang looked a bit hesitant, "Rolf, is that really a good idea?"

Rolf sneered, "Don’t we often do this kind of thing? This is what we’re best at, you don’t need to pretend at a meeting like today."

Li Gaoyang coughed a few times, "Mr. Rolf, some things need not be said so bluntly, it makes everyone uncomfortable."

"If that’s the case, then pretend I didn’t say anything; go ahead and discuss," Rolf was ready to back down.

Li Gaoyang frowned tightly, his expression serious, his face showing no hesitation, replaced instead by a decisive look, "Mr. Rolf, you’re right, I think your suggestion has the strongest operability. Let’s immediately begin our most powerful intelligence work, obtain all data, and spare no effort."

Dr. Connell sneered, "You all understand nothing about science, thinking too simplistically. Let me make it clear to you, whether this matter is real or not, we are already at a disadvantage."

"You might not know, if everything is real, how massive the data within this is!"

"Because it is far too advanced, none of us have experience in this area; even if you could acquire the data, without his participation, it would take us at least a few years to complete the data analysis to ascertain its authenticity."

"That’s just to verify whether it’s real or fake. If it’s fake, there’s nothing more to say. If it’s real, we’re in trouble; to analyze, master, and assimilate this data, we need a massive team and probably five years."

"How is that possible?"

Rolf felt Dr. Connell was a stumbling block, always saying this won’t work, that won’t work; what’s the point of holding a meeting then?

"I am very disappointed, being executives of the company, you are all such fools!"

"It’s hard for me to tell you the difficulty of analyzing this data, but let me give you an example. If engineers from a university in some African country got all the data on Boeing’s most advanced planes, how long do you tell me it would take them to build a Boeing plane?"

Dr. Connell’s tone was very sharp.

Everyone present was stunned, they looked at each other, nobody could rebut.

"Because the path we are taking is completely different; nobody here has that kind of experience; we need to undergo retraining ourselves to move forward along his path, and that is a hard process."

What should be done?

Li Gaoyang found himself in a difficult position again.

He had never been so passive, never so troubled before.

"The best way is to directly recruit him to our company; that’s the only method."

"But he has already refused."

Rolf sneered again at this point, "His refusal is his business; do we really have to listen to him?"

Dr. Connell looked at Rolf with a disdainful glance, "What I said earlier was predicated on everything being real; fortunately, the likelihood of this being real is nearly zero, no one can guess the outcome of a Las Vegas casino dice roll over a few months."
