Chapter 322: The Target of Public Criticism
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
What was the reason? What happened? Why did so many outstanding scientists want to leave?
Well, the “100% Science Lab” of course! This amazing software developed by Xing Hai Technologies allowed many overseas scientists who were pursuing their career in rica to vote via their choice to migrate or stay.
In fact, outstanding scientists from all countries ca to work, develop their career, and even settle in rica, not to pursue the so-called rican dream or to contribute to rica. It was only because the research conditions of rica were the best in the world.
rica’s laboratories, scientific research equipnt, academic environnt, and other hardware facilities were unmatched by other countries.
“People aim for high places and water flows down to low places.” These scientists wanted to improve their professional standards and achieve so top scientific research results. Hence, they ca to rica to pursue their career ambitions. A whale could not grow in a small lake. If the scientific research infrastructure of one’s country was not up to par, if one had no stage and opportunities to display one’s talents, where could one go besides rica or Z country?
Therefore, the “Matthew effect” could also be found in the scientific community. The strong beca stronger and the weak, weaker. But the ergence of one thing had completely changed the status quo of this polarization.
Excellent scientists from the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, and other countries joined the “100% Science Lab.” They were engaged in “cloud research” for several months. They made shocking and delightful discoveries. It worked. This ga really worked. It was useful. All the academic achievents made in this ga had a probability of more than 99% to beco an effective result in reality. Examples of successful results from these researches abounded.
For example, there was a British chip company who made a brand-new chip architecture in the “Science Lab.” It was not only energy-saving, but also had higher performance. The company then extracted the process and results from the ga into reality. They found that the architecture’s performance in reality was exactly the sa as it was in the ga.
There were also a few French companies who prepared so materials with highly valuable application and physics properties. They then extracted the process and results from the ga into reality. The performance of these materials was surprisingly amazing.
The achievents were even more brilliant in the field of biopharmaceuticals. Because the “Science Lab” had special features of “powerful computing” and “multiplying the speed of scientific research by 10 tis,” companies ca up with effective drugs to more than 30 types of diseases that were considered to be “terminal” or “incurable” within a few months in the “Science Lab.” There was the possibility of curing these terminal diseases now.
What was even more incredible was that the “Science Lab” could avoid ethical controversy by directly doing pharmacological experints on NPC humans in the ga. The feedback data was consistent with reality. The ga eliminated a number of major obstacles in the dical field, making the developnt of dicine progress at a rate ten tis faster than the past. People saw hope for the elimination of all diseases. There was no need to introduce more of the progress made in other areas.
In short, for scientists in the fields of physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, dicine, materials, etc., the “100% Science Lab” was an amazing software sent from the Heavens! For every country out there, the “100% Science Lab” was a shortcut to achieve the status of a “high-tech powerful country at a low-cost!”
This ga allowed those countries with dium strength and abilities to just prepare a few computers that were only a few hundreds of thousands of dollars, and then recruit a group of top talents to enter the “100% Science Lab.” Online “cloud research” could then be launched. There was no need to invest in billions and tens of billions to build expensive laboratories. Suddenly, countries could beco a “Cloud Research Power” in a ga. Moreover, a “cloud research power” could totally beco a “true scientific research power” in reality.
This was because the scientific research results in the ga could be “extracted” and applied in reality. Moreover, the results were guaranteed to be more than 99% effective.
Hence, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Japan,etc., successively launched the “National Results Extraction Plan” to target those scientific research results that had high extraction-to-reality values. These countries would participate in the plan and find ways to accumulate the required “points” that were needed to extract the data from the ga to reality. They used money from the state treasury to recharge the ga points in order to bring the high-value scientific research results into reality.
Xing Hai Technologies also made a fortune from this. According to the quality of research performances, it allocated a quota of 100 million to 10 billion points to various governnt and also sold a large number of points... The company actually profited from the ga via this thod.
The countries were full of enthusiasm. After finding out that they had severely inadequate talents, they turned their eyes to rica. At the sa ti, they were also seriously pissed off.
“I didn’t expect that there were so many outstanding talents in our country that all ran to rica!”
“Co back, all of you co back! Go back and work for your country!”
“Don’t say that your motherland does not have a suitable research environnt. We have the “Science Lab,” and the research facilities inside it are no worse than the top laboratories in rica. Its research speed can even be accelerated by 10 tis.”
“Co back quickly, the motherland has never needed you like now. Rember the blood in your body, rember your roots. Think about how the sky looked in your hotown, think about the loved ones in your hotown. Those who are wandering around in the world, co back ho.”
The diplomats of various countries stationed in rica were basically using the sa thod to seduce their people back ho. Even literary works or songs like “The Clouds of My Hotown” and “My Patriotic Heart” suddenly beca popular. There were more than a dozen language versions. The content and the lody were very similar, but the effect was amazingly good. After all, rica was just an immigrant country. It was a blend of people from all over the world. The internal cohesion of the country was not as strong as they imagined. Now, diplomats from various countries were doing this. In just one month, tens of thousands of excellent scientists wanted to move away from rica.
But for rica, how could they survive this?! Technology, military, finance; these were the three pillars of rican hegemony, of which technology was ranked as the most important pillar. It was the most important national resource! Once this resource beca unstable, the hegemony of rica would imdiately falter and they would be relegated to a second or third-rate country. Losing their scientific and technological talents was equivalent to losing their most elite soldiers. They would soon beco weak and insignificant.
“No, you’re not allowed to leave, not a single one of you!” The rican governnt beca extrely anxious. Uncaring of the international impact, it imdiately shut down the visa application channel, forced many of flights to land, closed a number of exit channels, and requested that all scientists working in rica stay.
As for those who were determined to go, the FBI was dispatched to arrest them. Action before any explanations. The governnt curbed the phenonon of the brain drain at the very first opportunity. However, this hegemonic practice was imdiately denounced by various countries through writing and speech. rica instantly beca the target of public criticism.
dia from various countries strongly protested:
“Release our scientists imdiately.”
“This is kidnapping without a doubt.”
“Terrorist actions by a shaless country.”
“We are not ruling out the possibility of sending special forces to rescue them.”
“We should send warships to fetch our scientists back.”
The global anti-rican sentint was soaring. rica stood in the heart of the struggle. It felt “loneliness” for the first ti. Even so, they were not going to release even one of those scientists who wanted to leave. It could not go on like this either!
“If we do not lift the sanctions against Xing Hai Technologies; if we do not import the “100% Science Lab,” the outstanding scientists in rica will still go. They will leave rica using various thods. Other countries will exert more pressure together, including shutting down the overseas military bases of rica, and expel rica from this planet. Although we are strong, we cannot be enemies with all countries. Please revoke the sanctions imdiately!” Under the leadership of Robert Simon, the scientific community in rica wrote a joint letter asking the President and Congress to revoke the sanctions and import the “100% Science Lab.”
“Revok the sanctions? You an you want us to admit defeat? The great rica will be bowing down to a company from Z country?” The face of an extremist mber grew red. He held up a fist and said, “Impossible! We will never bow to a thief, never!”
50.1% vs. 49.9%. The result of the final vote was in favor of continuing the sanctions. The hardliners still had a slight advantage.
“There’s no hope! You’re a bunch of foolish b******s.” Robert Simon felt utmost desperation at this group of brainless politicians!
But... a few days later, scientists from rica still downloaded the “100% Science Lab” successfully and entered the ga. Their solution was very simple. They pulled so network cables from their neighbor to the north, Cadana, and set their IP addresses to a Cadanian one... Hence, they could experience this ga even without the politicians revoking the sanctions against Xing Hai Technologies. As early as a few months ago, Cadana stopped following the lead of rica and gave up the policy of isolating Xing Hai Technologies. They imported so of the company’s products. It was warned and “beaten” by rica.
And now, rica actually had to freeload on their younger brother’s network like a thief to secretly download and use the “100% Science Lab.” This was all just to save their ridiculous face and dignity.
