Chapter 148 Interstellar Orphan (8)
An hour later, the door to the conference room finally reopened.
The generals came out one after another.
"Dr. Fox, are you tired after standing for so long? But it's finally your turn! Come in quickly, the commander-in-chief is waiting for you~"
Dr. Allen took advantage of his height and patted Fox's hairless head as he passed by, and glanced at Shisui with contempt.
"Take your dirty hands away from me!" Dr. Fox angrily slapped the other person's hand away.
"Oh my, so fierce! If only you could be this tough in front of the commander-in-chief!"
After Dr. Allen finished his sarcastic remarks, he walked away with the others arm in arm.
Dr. Fox is humiliated by his peers, but Tokiho has no sympathy at all.
He is a biological researcher who deals with blood, flesh, and cells all day long, but he has no reverence for life.
His future is his future, but the lives of refugees are not lives?!
Can it be destroyed and trampled at will?
Shi Sui hadn't had the chance to understand what kind of person Dr. Allen was, but the way he'd kneaded the braised egg with his bare hands just now...
She just wanted to say: Well done!
"Don't just stand there like an idiot, hurry up and follow me!"
Dr. Fox ran ahead on his short legs.
Shisui followed.
On the way in, she kept her eyes on Vincent.
The tough and muscular Vincent is a veteran of the battlefield, so of course he would not dodge under the gaze of a young girl.
But there was also some doubt in his eyes.
He didn't recognize the girl in front of him. She was once a tiny girl who had once lain on his arms...
…
In the conference room.
The two generals standing behind the chairman's seat still held up their military caps.
Tokiho couldn't help but complain in her mind...if the meeting lasts for 10 hours, they'll just stay in the same position for 10 hours?!
Dr. Fox stood at attention in front of the military cap, looking very respectful.
"Major General Fox..."
The commander-in-chief's voice echoed in the empty conference room. It must be said that the scene was too gloomy.
"My subordinates are here!" Fox didn't dare to delay and seized the opportunity to regain his favorability.
The commander-in-chief spoke slowly, "I've already reviewed the materials you plan to present at the meeting... How many years has the 'Hanging Thread' project been underway?"
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief! It's exactly the third year. We've strictly followed the original schedule and have reached the fourth stage of live human trials. We've already made a breakthrough discovery—"
"well."
Dr. Fox was about to launch into his long speech when the commander-in-chief suddenly uttered a low, weak, and meaningless "Alas."
He was stunned for a moment.
Only hearing the voice but not seeing the person, Fox couldn't tell from the commander-in-chief's expression whether he was sighing, dissatisfied, or referring to something else...
The room was so silent that Fox was going crazy!
Seeing that Fox didn't understand what he meant, the commander-in-chief circled the key points for him.
"The project was launched three years ago, and I was only sent here by the headquarters two years ago. So, who approved you to conduct the research?"
Shisui understood it completely... This commander-in-chief didn't care at all about what Fox was researching!
Previously, Fox lacked data and achievements to attract the commander-in-chief's attention, and was thus selectively ignored. But now, with his high-profile pursuit of attention, Fox has become an annoying fly buzzing in the commander-in-chief's ear.
But Fox still trembled as he stepped forward, "Of course it wasn't approved by you, Commander-in-Chief. However, the 'Hanging Line' plan was discussed, studied, and approved by the headquarters. It went through the proper procedures before it was finally launched..."
Shisui was overwhelmed by what she heard.
You just hit a wall, why don't you learn your lesson?
If Fox really contradicted the commander-in-chief for research purposes, it would be understandable.
But in fact, he just wants to get promoted!
You want to get promoted, but you use the approval document from the headquarters to pressure your boss... How low does your EQ have to be to say such a thing?
Sure enough, the base commander was speechless after hearing this.
There was another suffocating silence.
"Fox, you really need me to explain this so clearly, don't you? Your research is already outdated! The robots charging into battle now. Mind control is completely useless in actual combat. Dr. Allen has already applied bionic technology to robots, and your thinking is still stuck in the past 10 years?"
The commander-in-chief's words pierced Fox's heart like a knife, shattering it to pieces.
For a moment, he was unable to refute.
The commander-in-chief's disapproval means the project will be terminated.
For the other 876 experimental subjects in the same batch as her, only death awaits them.
In order to allow those poor people to survive, Shisui weighed it in her mind and decided to take action to reverse the situation.
"Commander-in-Chief," she suddenly spoke, "Aren't you afraid that one day you'll be trampled underfoot by a robot you trust so completely?"
