Chapter 329 Deep Virtual Reality 157

The next day, Xie Ning and Gu Xi met people from Norton Technology on their way to the Administration Bureau to participate in the pilot meeting.

Xie Ning carried the metal box into the elevator and greeted him with a smile, "Director Xu, what a coincidence."

Xu Sanci is one of the leaders in charge of alien biological experiments at Norton Technology Company. He doesn't know what the other party is here for.

"Unfortunately," Xu Sanci said with a smile, "this pilot project will require Director Xie's continued cooperation."

Cooperate?

Just when Xie Ning was completely confused, the answer was revealed at the meeting.

Norton Technologies plans to collaborate with Huarui Technologies. When small-scale identification drones scan and detect alien creatures, they will use the alien creatures to fight against them. Therefore, Xie Ning and her team need to equip the alien creature test subjects with sensory receiving devices.

Xie Ning sat up slightly and said to the director of the Administration Bureau at the head of the table, "During the previous trip to Sky Island, I witnessed the failure of Norton Technology's control over alien creatures, which is why we were almost completely wiped out. I think this should be carefully considered."

Before the director of the management bureau could speak, Xu Sanci spoke gently, his tone apologetic, "Director Xie, we have added a few more procedures to the alien creatures. Once they betray us, they can be destroyed immediately. So there is no need to worry about what you mean by out of control."

If you're still worried, you can go and observe the testing experiment yourself.

I reserve my opinion.

Xie Ning looked down and flipped through the information provided by the other party. Many of them were Knife Serpent Demons. Among the experimental subjects that Professor Lillian brought, there were also several Knife Serpent Demons.

This alien creature has average defense, but its attack power is indeed formidable.

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became somewhat tense. After a long while, the director of the management bureau finally spoke, "Let's put the cooperation aside for now and start the pilot project here at Huarui. The management bureau and the security bureau will cooperate."

Then came a series of discussions, and in the end, the cooperation that Xu Sanci mentioned was approved, but it needed to be tested again before it could be put into pilot operation.

As Xie Ning led Gu Xi out of the Administration Bureau, a male voice rang out behind them.

"Director Xie, Director Xie." Xu Sanci called out to Xie Ning, still smiling, as if the conflict between the two at the previous meeting had never existed.

"The Talit Restaurant has some new dishes. I wonder if Director Xie would do me the honor of trying them?"

Then, without waiting for Xie Ning's reply, he added, "I heard before that Director Xie was looking for cloud processing equipment. Perhaps I can introduce you to some options."

Xie Ning swallowed the refusal she was about to utter. The rabbit's computing and analysis speed was still not fast enough, so she needed to modify it. The cloud processing device was the best accelerator, but it was very difficult to obtain. She had her people wait in the underground black market for a long time, but they still couldn't find one.

Since Xu Sanci brought this up, it means they had already prepared for it. Even if she refuses this time, they will have other ways to achieve their goal.

At the large, long table, only she and Xu Sanci were present; Gu Xi and the people Xu Sanci brought were arranged in another private room.

"Through this period of cooperation, I have come to deeply appreciate Director Xie's capabilities; they are indeed remarkable." Xu Sanci gave a thumbs up, then raised his glass. "Let me first offer you a toast."

Xie Ning swirled his wine glass, showing no interest in the dishes in front of him, and said indifferently, "Director Xu, please speak frankly. As you know, I'm busy."

"Okay, okay." Xu Sanci was still not angry, but only sighed. "Director Xie, we all know that the trip to Sky Island has had a great impact on you. The loss of control of the experimental subjects was indeed our mistake, but you should understand."

The experiment's loss of control cannot be entirely blamed on our testing oversights. After all, Nightshade, as the mole, colluded with others to remove the internal chips from the experiment, which led to the experiment's loss of control and inability to be destroyed in time.

We have already reported this matter, and subsequent experiments have been subject to stricter controls, including the addition of a real-time chip monitoring system... This situation will absolutely not happen again, and I think you should reconsider the cooperation.

After all, we also want to maintain our friendship with you. It would be too heartless of us to issue orders directly without your consent, wouldn't you say?

"Director Xu, didn't you already bypass me? Otherwise, I wouldn't have only just found out about this now." Xie Ning glanced over indifferently.

Just when Xu Sanci thought Xie Ning was going to refuse again, he heard her say, "Cooperation is possible, but the price has to be increased."
