Chapter 235 Deep Virtual Reality 62
When Chu Qing came out of the department, she glanced at Xie Ning and felt that Xie Ning's eyes were empty and unfocused. She couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Today was indeed a bit rushed. After all, there were three test subjects. There was no time to rest. I used to feel like my eyes were going to go blind."
"But it's alright now, I'm used to it. You still need to go to the medical room for some eye drops to relieve the discomfort. Once you've gotten used to it, you won't feel so bad about such a large workload again."
"Okay, I'll go right now. Please also ask Assistant Chu to help me take the test subject back to my office."
Xie Ning rubbed her eyes and walked towards the medical room. Her eyesight was usually quite good, but now she could barely see things in the distance, which showed that her eyes were severely stimulated by the light.
But I can't stop working, so I can only try to find ways to alleviate the situation.
Chu Qing nodded, handed the documents in her hand to Director Crete who came out behind her, and walked towards Xie Ning's office.
Turning the corner, I bumped into an old colleague.
"Clerk Chu, long time no see." A man in his twenties or thirties blocked Chu Qing's path, his gaze falling on the three test subjects, his eyes filled with undisguised contempt.
"You dare to accept Professor Lillian's practical test with something so weak? Aren't you afraid that your experiment will be ruined? If that happens, Staff Member Chu will have to start all over again. I wonder how much time you and that old guy Crete have to start over?"
Haha, the higher-ups won't keep useless people who can't produce any output, right?
The researchers following behind the man also let out low snickers, but Chu Qing retorted without changing his expression, "You guys are impressive. After all, not everyone can take someone else's research paper as their own and still live so arrogantly, right?"
The man, however, didn't take it seriously and instead sneered, "Only you guys treat that paper like a treasure. Does Professor Lillian need such a low-level paper to pave her way? No, she doesn't. Her abilities are obvious to all. Clerk Chu is still so naive."
"A loss is a loss. Admit it openly and honestly, and we'll still respect you."
"Yes, yes!" everyone echoed.
"Instead of spending your time chatting here, you should go to the lab and observe the test subjects more. You're paid such high salaries, you're not here to just chat." A cold female voice came from behind, and the backs of the man who was still making things difficult for Chu Qing and everyone else stiffened.
“Lily, Professor Lillian.”
Xie Ning stood behind Professor Lillian and shook her head slightly at Chu Qing.
Lillian glanced at Chu Qing indifferently and said nothing more. The researchers all tucked their tails between their legs and followed behind Lillian.
“I didn’t call them.” Xie Ning shrugged. “Professor Lillian was standing around the corner, and I had just come from the other side when we bumped into each other. But what’s this paper they’re talking about?”
"Director Crete previously wrote a paper on alien creatures, but after publication, it was discovered to be identical to Professor Lillian's academic paper. The two papers were published within thirty minutes of each other..."
Before that, that person was Director Crete's assistant.
Chu Qing was referring to the man who had made things difficult for him.
"I've always believed that he stole Director Crete's paper to curry favor with Professor Lillian; otherwise, who knows who would be in that position?"
Crete was his mentor since university, a life guide, a role model, and an idol, which is why Chu Qing was so angry.
“But there is no evidence,” Xie Ning said. If there were evidence, it wouldn’t have been Crete that fell.
Of course, only Crete and Lillian know the truth. Shenning will not unconditionally believe Crete just because she is familiar with him, since both of them are knowledgeable experts.
“Yes, there is no evidence.” Chu Qing sighed, her eyes filled with worry. “He’s right. If this experiment fails, then Director Crete and I will never have the chance to restart it.”
A research-worthy project is rare, and a key project that can attract a company to invest heavily is even rarer. If they are content with mediocrity, that's one thing, but as a researcher, who doesn't want to make a difference?
The experimental base is constantly being updated with new generations, and no one wants to be left behind and die on the beach.
"It's not over yet, who knows how it will end?" Xie Ning comforted her.
"I'd like to take a look at that crucial paper you mentioned. I've read some of Professor Lillian's papers online, but I don't recall seeing the one you're talking about."
Not only were there none, but the papers inside didn't even mention alien creatures. Now that a paper has finally touched on this point, and it was published by Professor Lillian, who is in charge of this area, she naturally wants to try to obtain it.
"Of course you can't see it."
Chu Qing laughed, "These kinds of papers can only be published internally, and viewing them requires permissions. Your permissions probably aren't high enough yet. I'll copy them for you to see later, but remember you can't forward them. It violates federal law, and you'll get locked up in a dark room, haha!"
