Chapter 340 A Carefully Planned Big Joke
In China, Jiang Yao had just finished his research and came out of the laboratory when he heard a group of researchers whispering outside.
"It is said that the R Research Institute overseas will hold a technology press conference later to announce the development progress of their latest engine."
"What a coincidence, are they researching the same topic as us?"
"I know the boss of this research institute. He's Ryan, the most famous profiteer in Country N. He'll do anything to achieve his goals. I don't believe he can come up with anything!"
"The press conference will be broadcast live worldwide. I want to go and take a look."
Jiang Yao raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
It’s this R Institute again.
This big foreign boss is really haunting us!
"What live broadcast? Let me watch it too!"
Jiang Yao took the initiative to step forward and suggested that everyone watch the live broadcast together to relax.
Everyone agreed and wanted to see the gap between their research level and that of foreign countries.
When the time came, the projector in the laboratory was turned on and broadcast the images from the press conference.
In the footage, Ryan, with his hair slicked back and wearing a high-end suit, stood proudly on the stage and announced with high ambition: "Today I want to officially announce that our R Research Institute has achieved a breakthrough in seventh-generation aerospace engine technology..."
He began to talk about the progress of the project's development.
In the laboratory, Jiang Yao and others listened leisurely at first.
But as Ryan's topic got deeper and deeper, everyone's expressions became strange.
"What's going on? How come what he said is so similar to our current research direction—"
"This can't be a coincidence, right? Unless... he stole our secrets."
Thinking of this possibility, the members on the scene looked panicked, terrified and angry.
Just as the situation was about to descend into chaos, Jiang Yao calmly spoke to reassure them, "Everyone, don't worry."
Her eyes were cold as she stared at the man on the screen. "Let's hear him finish his words first! Maybe the second half will be different."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard this, but since things had come to this point, they could only calm down, sit down again and continue listening.
At this moment in the press conference, as Ryan spoke, the technical staff present at the event were all amazed.
"I can't believe Ryan has actually reached this stage in his research. He's so far ahead of everyone else!"
“Have you even solved the most difficult pre-cooler problem?”
Some admired him, while others protested loudly, "I don't believe it! Mr. Ryan, what you said is just theory after all. If you actually put it into practice, there's no guarantee it will succeed!"
Ryan smiled confidently when he heard this, as if he had expected this.
"I know there will be people here who are jealous of me and will question my research. I've made preparations in advance. The projector on site is connected to the lab. Next, I will show everyone the results."
As soon as he finished speaking, the big screen behind him lit up.
Everyone's eyes were focused on him.
At this moment, in the laboratory of R Institute.
"Next, we will conduct the final test of the engine technology and start according to the process..."
Researchers in protective suits pressed the start button, the equipment lit up, and data streams scrolled.
Ryan pointed at the big screen with a proud look on his face: "Look, this is our technical strength!"
As he finished speaking, suddenly, a sharp hissing sound came from the pre-cooler pipe, and the temperature curve on the monitoring screen soared wildly.
The next second——
There was a loud "bang".
A blinding white light flashed, and the entire test bench was smashed into the sky.
The explosion-proof glass was shattered, the alarm sounded throughout the building, and the fire extinguishing system was automatically activated, spraying water all over the researchers on site.
The live broadcast on the big screen was cut off, and finally froze on the burning wreckage and scattered documents.
The press conference fell into silence for several seconds.
Before Ryan's smug smile could fade away, the microphone in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang".
The next moment, there was an uproar at the scene.
The technicians below stood up on the spot. "Oh my god, is this the cutting-edge technology demonstrated by the R Institute? This is simply a huge joke."
"I flew all the way here for nothing. This is such an insult to my intelligence!"
Ryan's face turned pale and cold sweat oozed from his forehead. He never dreamed that this situation would occur.
He planned this carefully, hoping to make the institute famous, but in the end it turned out to be a shocking farce.
In the end, he almost fled the press conference in embarrassment.
Before long, news such as #R Institute experiment explosion# became a hot search on Twitter.
Overnight, it became a joke that everyone was talking about.
Back home, members of the laboratory witnessed the entire process and were gloating.
"That's what I was saying. How could he possibly surpass our research progress? In the end, the experiment actually exploded. It's really funny."
"I almost thought they had stolen our core secrets! They made such a mistake at the most crucial step. How stupid!"
Jiang Yao slowly raised the corners of his lips when he heard this, as if he had already expected the result.
"Okay, we've finished reading the news. Now, please continue to devote yourself to research."
As soon as she finished speaking, the members returned to their posts.
…
foreign.
Ryan returned to the institute and was so angry that he almost exploded, "Damn it, damn it! How could this happen!"
All the instruments and equipment in the laboratory were destroyed.
This time, not only did we fail to achieve our goal, but we also caused a considerable loss.
Most importantly, the reputation of the R Institute has suffered severe damage.
I am afraid that the cooperation in the next six months will not be able to proceed smoothly.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He glared fiercely at Jenny across from him and said angrily, "I trusted you so much, and this is how you repay me?!"
Jenny's face was in a panic. "I, I don't know why it turned out like this. He was indeed the one who stole this core secret and gave it to me. I dare to take care of it!"
"That's enough! I want to see him myself!"
That afternoon, Ryan personally booked a flight back home.
Walk into the box according to the address agreed in advance.
He spotted Han Yuan standing inside and rushed forward, grabbing him by the collar. "Asshole! How dare you give me a fake secret? Are you kidding me?"
Han Yuan's face was filled with fear. "How is that possible? I stole this core secret from the lab. I've betrayed my boss for you. You have to fulfill the conditions you promised me. Give me a green card and an annual salary of tens of millions to hire me!"
"Bah!"
Ryan, however, pushed him away in disgust. "A loser like you who is more trouble than good, and you still want a high salary and a green card? You're dreaming."
Han Yuan was incredulous. "What do you mean? Have you been lying to me the whole time? How could you do this to me..."
"Who told you to be so stupid? Don't you see what you are? How dare you negotiate with me? People like you Chinese will be fooled with just a little bit of trickery. You can only blame yourself for being as stupid as a pig."
After venting his anger, Ryan adjusted his collar and turned to leave the box.
But the moment he pushed open the door, his face froze.
