Pretending To Be A Boss

Ignoring Dr. Duke's incredulous expression, Tang Xian continued his analysis:

"What you've been talking about all along is the synchronization rate, but that's not actual synchronization. Bringing the capabilities from the mine zone into the real world, and transferring the abilities of mine zone organisms into human bodies—there are essential differences between the two.

Instead of 'synchronization rate,' it would be more accurate to call it the conversion rate of the mine zone creatures' abilities. So academically speaking, your terminology is imprecise. Negative review."

Tang Xian didn't stop his critique.

"True synchronization should be like in the mine zone, where various talent data can be displayed in one's vision, such as health points, health regeneration speed, critical hit probability, and so on. To say that your research misses the point and to call you a bunch of amateurs is not unwarranted.

What you truly should be researching is the difference in force fields between the mine zone and the real world,"

"Is it a unique element in the mine zone that activates human genetic sequences or a special force field with an evolutionary effect on organisms? That's what you should be studying."

With every additional word from Tang Xian, Dr. Duke's look of astonishment grew.

He didn't want to admit the validity of Tang's points, but he felt a sudden enlightenment.

"Identifying the cause of environmental differences between the Pyramid and the mine zone, determining precisely which genetic sequence harbors the potential for human talent awakening, and finding out why real-world mechanical devices fail to function in the mine zone—you were presented with all these correct research paths and yet you chose to conduct hybridization experiments,"

"The experiment itself is flawed, even."

Dr. Duke's eyes widened. Having lost both hands, he couldn't even gesture in frustration.

"Perhaps you have some valid points, but where exactly is the experiment wrong? Akasi and No. 19 are both among the most outstanding creations!"

Tang Xian shook his head and said:

"Your experimental method is flawed. The integration of serums ultimately comes down to a matter of compatibility. Without first understanding the matching rules of the serums themselves, jumping straight into experimentation means that up until now, all your 'subjects' have just been accidents.

If you take any experimental subjects at random, you can't be one hundred percent certain that they can withstand the serums you inject into them, can you?"

Dr. Duke wanted to say something but remained silent. He could only look at Tang Xian with an expression that said, 'If you think you can do it, then go ahead'.

Then Tang continued:

"Why not try injecting human serum into the organisms of the mine zone instead of injecting the serum of mine zone creatures into humans? Why not attempt to domesticate the animals in the mine zone rather than trying to tame humans?"

"The hospital has a vast amount of blood sample testing reports. By testing for compatibility, slowly figuring out which mine zone creatures have high compatibility with human serum, why not start with biologically similar creatures and inject them with human serum, monitoring their response? Wouldn't that be more feasible, whether from a legal, ethical, or even efficiency standpoint?"

Dr. Duke was speechless.

Tang Xian looked at Dr. Duke with the same disdain he reserved for idiots, even more so than when he looked at Dong Ran and Li Xiaoyu.

"Having learned a bit of knowledge, you like to show off. So fond of researching data, why not use yourself as the experiment? There are many benefits to that; no matter how cooperative your subjects are, some feelings are just not as delicate as those experienced firsthand."

Dr. Duke looked at Tang Xian as if he were looking at a madman. Who would experiment on themselves?

"For instance, if you now write an article on Zhihu about what it feels like to have your arms amputated, you could describe it with greater detail than others. It's a precision that comes from within, unobservable by others."

As someone who had taken the risk to experience a seven-day survival limit in the mine zone firsthand, Tang believed he had the credentials to educate Dr. Duke on hands-on experience.

"Everyone is not born equal, but since the Federation has laws and even those at the bottom are protected by law, until your power is great enough to have the Federation amend the law specifically for you, allowing you to legally capture the lower class, everything you're doing is wicked. There are better, lawful research avenues you could take; to ignore them is not only evil but stupid."

All the data had finished loading, and Tang Xian had committed all the different experimental data he was perusing to memory.

He looked at Dr. Duke and said with a light chuckle:

"I also occasionally dabble in rooting out some foolish evil forces."

...

...

What followed went smoothly. Tang Xian's intrusion was an accident, and before it had a chance to spread, he had already destroyed everything there.

The guards and some of the experimental subjects with low synchronization rates largely gave up resistance.

Akasi had smashed all the containers, but when faced with the children, who were virtually unaware of the outside world and in a state of confusion, there was little he could do.

Tang Xian had no intention of taking these people with him. The happenings on the fourth level would soon cause an uproar.

It would be a major event that would shock the world.

The Federation, Huaxia, and even some independent nations would all make clear their stances regarding the events inside the second fortress.

This would bring great trouble to the evolution zones within each fortress, but Tang was confident that the organization was not so easily dismantled.

Dr. Duke was but a middle manager in this group of intellectuals.

Tang planned to hand Dr. Duke over to Li Xiaoyu's people, which is why he had been keeping him captive.
