Chapter 708 A win-win transaction
Wu Haibo told Meng Chao that if he had the time and energy, he could actually consider staying in the ancient ruins to test more black technology research projects.
Currently, there is a shortage of testers for the hundreds of projects in the Relics Research Institute, which has delayed a lot of research progress.
Even if researchers are willing to roll up their sleeves and go into battle in person, most of them are weak scholars with no physical strength, and all their spiritual energy is poured into their brains. How can there be someone like Meng Chao, the "youngest heavenly powerhouse in Dragon City"?
Come in strong health?
In fact, this was not the case in the early years.
Going back twenty or thirty years, it is still very popular to go deep into the ancient ruins for exploration and testing.
At that time, the people of Longcheng had not yet established a complete theoretical system for spiritual cultivation, and their understanding of extraordinary power was still very superficial. In many cases, only by venturing to ancient ruins could one awaken to deeper levels of extraordinary power.
Of course there was danger, but the Dragon City at that time was still very dangerous even if it stayed on the ground - fighting against the vicious monsters in the ruins, wouldn't it still be a narrow escape?
Since you keep your head in your belt, of course you have to take a big shot.
Nowadays, many senior experts in Dragon City who are over 40 or 50 years old are the lucky ones who came out of the ancient ruins back then.
At that time, there was no shortage of researchers, explorers and testers for various projects. Even for a spot, strong players from all sides had to fight hard and fight until they were bruised and bruised.
But today is different from the past. As the psychic training system is becoming more and more perfect, the strategic situation on the ground is also greatly beneficial to Dragon City. The new generation of extraordinary people do not need to go deep into the ancient ruins. They have careers in universities, research institutes and super enterprises.
In the training center, you can receive a complete academic education. After graduation, you will also have a clear and stable upgrade path.
Human nature always seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages.
How many people can practice and fight in a relaxed, glorious and relatively safe way outside, but how many people are like Meng Chao, driven by a sense of crisis at all times and insisting on crawling into the dragon's den and the tiger's den?
In addition, Dragon City is controlled by a super enterprise.
When the scale of an enterprise expands to a certain level, it will develop "path dependence" and "big enterprise disease". To put it simply, it means that it is afraid of taking risks and does not pay attention to long-term interests. Instead, it wants to seize short-term, immediate, and certain interests.
.
Specifically, super corporations would rather invest resources in the outer reaches of Dragon City and occupy the Monster Mountains and the wider foreign world, rather than investing in the exploration and development of ancient ruins.
After all, the former is certain. If you invest a bit of resources, you can build an advanced base and grab an extra bit of profit for your own company. It is fair and just, and no one can bully others.
The investment return cycle and return on investment of the latter are full of uncertainties.
If there is a big explosion like Project 109, and all investments are lost, it may even drag down the stock price of the parent company, causing super enterprises to be severely damaged and unable to recover.
The result is that the most outstanding talents of the Mesozoic and New Generations in Longcheng often find themselves in the arms of super companies with generous salaries and abundant resources.
Due to the low salary, it is difficult for the Relics Research Institute to attract outstanding and cutting-edge talents.
Even the older generation of researchers and testers cannot resist the temptation of the times and have switched jobs to super companies, or switched from basic theoretical research to more practical projects.
Those who still remain true to their original intentions and persevere can only laugh at themselves for the sake of "feelings."
In fact, similar things happen frequently in the Earth Age.
At that time, many institutions that developed aerospace technology sounded high-end and classy, and could even send astronauts to the back of the moon. It made people think that working there, even a master chef in the cafeteria, would have a monthly salary of 108,000 yuan.
Thousands of dollars, housing and other things should also be allocated.
In fact, this is not the case at all. The monthly salary of ordinary R&D personnel in many cutting-edge institutions is so low that it makes people cry when they hear it, and they are bound by various rules and confidentiality agreements. In terms of personal interests, it is really better to go to private companies.
Work part-time, or simply become a small boss!
In a nutshell, selling tea eggs is worse than building an atomic bomb.
This is an absurd drama that can happen on any planet and in any era.
Especially these few months.
With the victory in the battle outside Dragon City, the Survival Committee promulgated a series of decrees equivalent to "Enclosure Orders" in order to "pursue the remaining brave men to chase the poor bandits" and stimulate the enthusiasm of super enterprises and extraordinary people to the greatest extent.
In the next year, any enterprise, institution, civil society or individual, as long as they can establish a new advance base and colonization point deep in the Monster Mountain Range and withstand the counterattack of the monster remnants, depending on the scale of the base, there will be a radius of several kilometers or even underground.
The development rights and interests will all belong to the builder, and the development time is tentatively set as - 100 years!
This "enclosure law" caused a sensation in the entire circle of extraordinary people.
All the extraordinary beings are as if they have been pumped and can't wait to go to the depths of the Monster Mountains to compete in the field. Even the teachers at Meng Chao University have no intention of teaching and are eager to try.
How many people in the ruins research institute can still endure loneliness?
"In short, the testing gap of various projects in the institute is very large."
Wu Haibo said to Meng Chao, “It’s not that no one is willing to do it, the problem is that our work cannot be done by just any cat or dog!
"Although the salary is not very high, there are quite a lot of requirements - one must have a certain level of strength and practical experience, and be able to remain calm in any situation; one must also have a strong enough willpower to withstand the ancient attacks.
Summoning' and the risk of becoming obsessed; you must also be loyal and reliable, and never reveal the secrets of the black technology being tested; it is best to have the endorsement of a big shot and a certain net worth to ensure stability and not be betrayed by the outside world.
lure.
"Aren't such people rare?
"So, Meng Chao, as long as you are willing, you will definitely become the most popular one in the entire institute and be eagerly sought after for all projects!"
Meng Chao thought for a while, if he could speed up Dragon City's analysis and copying of Taikoo's black technology, it would improve Dragon City's overall technological power and combat effectiveness.
As long as your own cultivation is guaranteed, it doesn't matter if you test a few more projects.
But one thing must be clarified: "What, Team Leader Wu, this 'not very high salary', how low is it?"
"This is the key point I want to say. For other testers, the salary is not very high, but for you, Meng Chao, the situation is completely different. If it wasn't full of benefits, I would be embarrassed to put this
I’ll show you the way.”
Wu Haibo told Meng Chao that, first of all, he was the youngest Heaven Realm expert and blood medal winner in Dragon City, which meant that there must be incredible power deep in his cells, at least when bargaining, he carried out
The price of testing must not be the same as that of ordinary testers.
Of course, considering that budgets and resources for various projects are now very tight, it would be too tacky to talk about money, crystals, monster materials, etc.
But we can talk about technology, connections and business!
The staff of the Relics Research Institute often work in major universities, other research institutes, and relevant research departments of super enterprises, and they have rich connections and business opportunities.
Many former researchers who left the Institute of Relics and found another job also have deep feelings and guilt for the institute, and are willing to do something to make amends.
They and Meng Chao's Super Star Resources, Broken Star Society, Blue Home and the Nest City Reconstruction Committee will definitely be able to create a lot of sparks and deliver rich benefits to each other.
As for the researcher himself, his combat effectiveness may not be very strong, but he is proficient in various auxiliary skills. He can give Meng Chao a massage, prepare a genetic potion, modify weapons and equipment, and customize several sets of power armor as gifts for him.
A few rune machines equipped with Taikoo black technology will definitely not be a problem.
Next, and most importantly, Meng Chao can ask each project team to use the usage time of large-scale research equipment to pay for his test work orders.
Although the various project teams of the Heritage Research Institute are highly independent and confidential.
But for many large and very large research equipment, there are only one or two in the entire institute, but they have to be shared.
For example, the "super-large spirit son accelerating device" that surrounds the entire underground space is said to have taken a full ten years to build, with additional construction resources added every year, causing two congressmen to have myocardial infarctions. It was also embedded in dozens of ancient relics and was excavated.
The key units that cannot be parsed and copied for the time being are completed before construction is completed.
Faced with such an artifact and nearly a hundred research projects, which one is not waiting for support?
Who can be first in line to use the "super large spirit son accelerating device" and how long it will last has become a fatal question.
There are indeed many researchers who, in order to compete for the use order and time of large-scale research equipment, are willing to sweep the floor politely and hold each other's thighs and call them daddy.
Later, the order and time of use of large-scale research equipment became the "universal currency" for internal transactions in the Ruins Research Institute.
After all, the value of many of the black technologies being analyzed, researched and copied here cannot be measured by money or crystals. Every piece of them is priceless.
The project is stuck at a certain key node. No matter how much money and crystals are spent, what's the use?
Just like Project 101, if we can get higher priority and more time for the "Super Large Spirit Accelerator" and other large-scale research equipment, let alone short-distance teleportation on the surface of the planet, maybe even across the sea of stars
The overall travel technology can be worked out in advance.
How do you calculate this value in money?
Of course, Project 101 will never let Meng Chao work in vain.
Wu Haibo told Meng Chao that if he could really help the project team obtain higher priority and more use time for large-scale research equipment, it could be converted into a deposit and priority purchase rights for the "transmission device".
"With the development speed of Super Star Resources, coupled with the many fields you have invested in, the future scale of your power will definitely be unlimited, and it will even be comparable to the nine major super enterprises, right?"
Wu Haibo has great confidence in Meng Chao, "If you want to extend the tentacles of super star resources to the entire other world, the teleportation device will definitely make you even more powerful.
"Shopping malls are like battlefields. Whoever can take the lead in establishing a super logistics network with instantaneous transmission will seize the opportunity and become invincible.
"Due to the constraints of raw materials and production processes, our initial production capacity is quite limited. The first batch of commercial conveyors have already been ordered by the Red Dragon Army and super enterprises. Other small and medium-sized enterprises will not even think about it within three to five years.
