Chapter 3164 This fortress is very strong
The old man eventually left the academy, but he left behind a promise.
That is, there isn't enough money, but the timeline must be brought forward.
And this deadline is before Christmas.
In the principal's office, William was smoking a cigar with a serious expression.
Mary sat to the side holding a cup of coffee, the kind that's very, very bitter.
Adam, on the other hand, sat upright with a worried expression.
All three shared the same mindset.
"Professor, the Earl just said that there can be no unfamiliar faces in the laboratory."
"Oh, no, it shouldn't be the word 'stranger,' it should be 'people who are different from us.'"
Principal William exhaled a puff of smoke, then spoke to Professor Adam.
Upon hearing this, Professor Adam frowned slightly. "I'm the one in charge in the lab."
"But now, it's not up to you."
Principal William smiled and said, "That's the power of capital."
If they have money, they'll support you in doing anything. What can you say?
If we don't do it, there are plenty of other people who will.
In such a vast country as Britain, there is more than one capable person.
William understood this principle, Mary understood this principle, and Adam understood it even more.
But he cannot be led by the nose like this, otherwise he will lose his independence and his research will go down a different path.
A path he did not control.
He absolutely cannot tolerate this kind of thing.
After a moment of silence in the office, Adam calmly looked at William and said, "You need to know that my team is the best. Every single one of them is irreplaceable and indispensable!"
William shrugged. "I understand."
"But I understand even more clearly that this is what you mean."
"Isn't that so?"
Meeting William's gaze, Adam struggled to remain calm, then took a deep breath and asked again, "Is it the King?"
William shrugged. "That's right, the Earl knows his identity and is very unhappy?"
"I don't quite understand, why is that?"
"My team consists of elites from all over the world."
Why can't we tolerate a yellow face?
At this point, recalling the other person's talent with computers, he emphasized again, "You should know that the computers we are using now are made in China."
"And Wang, he was able to quickly grasp the uses of these computers, he was proficient in using the Chinese operating system, he could..."
Principal William took a deep breath and interrupted Adam directly, "This is the Earl's intention."
"I'm just relaying what was said."
"Of course, you can choose not to do it."
At this point, William smiled again, "But you'll have to explain that yourself."
"I won't do it for you."
Adam took another deep breath and then looked at William.
"My team is complete, like a precision instrument; it won't work if any one member is missing."
William tilted his head after hearing this, then continued smoking.
Mary looked at Adam with surprise, her eyes full of suspicion.
But the next second, Adam said, "So, I need a replacement."
William, who was behind the smoke, immediately laughed. "No problem, you can look in our college, and if you can't find it, you can look in other colleges."
"If you see something you like, I will definitely find it for you."
"That would be best."
Adam said no more after he finished speaking.
Mary, who was standing nearby, simply put down her coffee cup when she heard their conversation, as if she wasn't surprised at all by their choice.
After a moment, he swallowed the bitter coffee in his mouth and then said, "When will computers be able to catch up?"
Adam rubbed his temples after hearing this. "That depends on whether we can make a better computer."
"What if we can't make it?"
Mary continued to ask, but Adam shook his head.
"You'll have to ask God."
"Of course, I think buying a new computer is a more reliable option than asking God."
Mary frowned; this act of placing her hopes on outsiders made her very uneasy.
"By the way, we can also buy computers from the United States; their computer technology is just as advanced."
"However, they may not be willing to sell to us."
"After all, the descendants of those inferior people are only interested in profit."
Adam spoke with ill intent, but William chuckled and Mary nodded in agreement.
"Therefore, I think the chances of them selling to us are not as high as those of China."
The two chose to remain silent, because neither of them was easy to get along with.
"My research requires a lot of raw materials. Is it possible to purchase some more from the academy?"
Mary suddenly spoke up.
Getting down to business, William quickly extinguished his cigar and then said seriously, "I will have a good talk with the Edward family about this matter."
"I heard they're doing quite well in Hong Kong."
Mary nodded in agreement. "That's right, they have indeed made a lot of money from Hong Kong."
"In this instance of helping, I hope they can purchase some medicines from within China."
William raised an eyebrow upon hearing this; there were many kinds of medicine in China.
Many of these medicines are very popular internationally.
He really liked that health supplement.
Then look at Ms. Mary. Although she's fifty, her figure, face, and skin are amazing.
Thinking of the chaos in 'your circle', Principal William suddenly tightened his clothes, feeling a strange sense of anticipation.
Are you referring to the specific drug they use in clinical practice?
Just as William was lost in his fantasies, Adam interrupted him.
"clinical?"
William was taken aback, then looked at Mary.
"Yes. That's what they use in clinical practice."
Mary glanced at Adam, surprised that his information was actually quite accurate.
"They only sell two types to foreign buyers, but there is another type available for domestic use."
"The best medicine is always reserved for our own people, so I think the medicines they prescribe are worth studying."
William understood and was about to agree, but he quickly stopped himself from speaking.
"I think we need to talk about this in another department."
Mary was taken aback, then understood what he meant.
The three of them then gave a wry smile.
Trying to cause trouble in China is harder than them making research results.
"Let's leave it at that for now and proceed with the current plan."
"Christmas is still two months away, there's not much time left."
William encouraged the two of them, and Adam nodded in agreement. "I'll go and make the arrangements."
"By the way, I need some funds."
"How many?"
"one million!"
"How many?"
William stood up abruptly from his seat and asked urgently, "What are you going to do?"
Adam took a deep breath. "I will compensate the king."
"compensate?"
William's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Such a huge compensation?
"Of course, there are still some things to explain."
Adam smiled and then walked outside.
William instantly understood what Adam was about to do.
"Okay, if one million isn't enough, I'll add some more." Adam gestured with his hand and then went out.
Only Mary and William remained in the room.
At this moment, Mary got up and walked up to William, saying solemnly, "Don't forget what you promised me."
William remained calm. "Don't worry, once the research is completed, you'll get your share."
That's not what I meant.
Mary's face showed a hint of anger, and William was also speechless after hearing this.
"Then, then, what are you going to do?"
William instinctively moved backward, his expression unchanged, but his heart was filled with unease.
Upon hearing William's question, Mary slammed her hands on the table. "You really forgot, you bastard."
"Oh oh oh!"
William suddenly remembered something, then quickly rummaged through the drawer for a while and took out a document.
"Is this... this one right?"
“Mary, I’ve always remembered, really, I’ve always remembered.”
William defended himself, fearing that the other party would suddenly attack and beat him up.
You have to understand, the person in front of him is the Countess; if he were beaten up, he wouldn't dare to fight back.
Seeing the report she had submitted before the New Year being taken out, Mary snorted coldly, "Yes, this is it."
"If this research is successful, I will need your support."
William paused for a moment, pondering the possibilities.
"I can transfer half of the shares in this research to you."
"make a deal!"
William immediately agreed.
You know, this special medicine costs $100,000 a bottle, while Angel's Tears is even better, so would the price be lower?
Then, you can just sit at home and wait to count your money.
The two reached a deal instantly.
"Then it's settled."
Mary glanced at William, then turned and left.
She wasn't afraid of the other party going back on their word, because of her status; if she wanted, she could easily replace the principal.
After Mary left the office, William stopped smiling and took the document to a closer look.
Come to think of it, when he received this document last year, he only glanced at it and threw it into a drawer; he had long forgotten what it said.
Looking at him now, his brows are tightly furrowed.
Racial genetics research program.
Race?
Heredity?
What is this for?
Meanwhile, after leaving the teaching building, Adam returned to his office.
After a short while, the team members returned one after another, chatting and laughing.
In their minds, joining Professor Adam's team meant that their lives would be different from now on.
Especially in the field of computer science, they will work with more elites in the future and create their own brilliance.
Wang Zihao walked alone in the crowd, with few people around him.
This is not just a matter of his identity, but also because the field he is responsible for is unfamiliar to most people, and they have no common language.
But everyone knew that the area he claimed to be in charge of was unattainable.
When everyone returned in high spirits, they saw Professor Adam standing to the side to greet them.
As Wang Zihao watched the crowd go inside, he was still thinking about the Chinese operating system when he heard a familiar voice in his ear.
"king."
When Wang Zihao looked up, he saw a kind and gentle face.
"professor."
When Professor Adam walked up to him and put his arm around his shoulder, Wang Zihao was flattered and filled with gratitude for this intimate gesture.
Although he was isolated by other students in the group, the professor's warmth towards him never diminished.
In his eyes, the professor cared for him more than anyone else.
So he also had to work hard in his heart, for the professor and for himself.
To prove that you are a useful person and that your abilities are no less than those of others.
"Your Majesty, come to my room, let's have a talk."
"Okay, Professor."
Wang Zihao agreed with a smile, because that's how it always was. Whenever there was a break, the professor would call him into the room to talk about work.
Of course, we will also take care of his life.
Although they became Britons, life here was not wealthy; in fact, they were somewhat strapped for cash.
His parents are working class, and sending him to school has exhausted their savings. Over the years, he has been living off scholarships.
The arrival of Professor Adam and his occasional financial assistance have brought about tremendous changes in his life.
I used to be reluctant to eat hamburgers, but now I can eat them once a week.
Therefore, to outsiders, they are just teacher and student.
But in his eyes, the two had a 'master-disciple' relationship.
The two arrived at Professor Adam's office. The door closed, and Professor Adam personally made a cup of coffee and placed it on the table.
"You must be very tired lately."
Adam chuckled and, instead of sitting in the chair, sat on the table near Wang Zihao.
Taking the coffee, Wang Zihao smiled and nodded, "I didn't expect the computer's operating system to be so complicated."
"But don't worry, I'll figure it out soon, and then I can rewrite the system."
Wang Zihao spoke earnestly and confidently, to which Adam smiled with satisfaction.
"Thanks for your hard work."
"Teacher, I'm not tired. You're the one who's working the hardest, managing the overall situation."
Wang Zihao said with a smile, and Adam's smile became even brighter upon hearing this.
After laughing, Adam shook his head and sighed, saying, "Unfortunately, this work is no longer important."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zihao's hand holding the cup trembled, and the coffee inside almost spilled.
"Teacher, what does this mean?"
Adam shook his head and said, "The meaning is very simple."
"Even if we were to decipher this Chinese operating system, we still wouldn't be able to surpass them."
"Just like how a counterfeit can never surpass the original."
"You should understand."
Wang Zihao opened his mouth, then took a deep breath, "I understand what you're saying, teacher."
"But I believe that as long as we learn from the strengths of others and then build upon them, we can stand on the shoulders of giants and improve again."
"But that's difficult, isn't it?"
Adam interrupted Wang Zihao and said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Wang Zihao lowered his head and looked at the cloudy coffee in his cup.
He realized that there might be something wrong with the direction of his efforts.
At the very least, in the eyes of their own teacher, the direction was wrong.
The price of making a mistake is losing the opportunity at hand.
patter
A pair of large, kind hands rested on his shoulders, followed by a deep, resonant voice, "Child, you know that."
"Once this kind of research falls behind, it is extremely difficult to catch up."
"Especially the technological barriers here; to break through them, you need to go through layers of defense and pass through lines of fire."
Professor Adam's voice became deep and infectious, like an old father giving earnest advice to his son, full of love.
"Child, I know you have done your best."
"But right now, I feel that this barrier is very strong."
"It's not something we can break through now."
Adam said, still applying pressure with his hands.
It was as if all his resentment was contained in his palms, conveying the bitterness in his heart and letting his eldest son feel his father's helplessness.
His eyes, however, remained fixed on the young man in front of him, with a hint of expectation hidden in his pupils.
