"Building an Energy Tower? A Seed Bank? You should be going through your official channels for matters like these, why co to ?" Chen Xin looked at the female scientist in front of him. Although his expression was neutral, he clearly showed a resistance to the request made by her.
Chen Xin indeed held all the technology regarding the Energy Tower, but such matters are supposed to be resolved through diplomatic ans between the two countries, not by directly asking him, as if he would help the Lucia people build an Energy Tower simply because they asked.
"We have already contacted the authorities, but they are powerless now. The nation is ravaged by the epidemic, and the official resources are primarily devoted to reconstruction work. There’s hardly any strength left to help us protect the Seed Bank." The female scientist’s expression was forlorn, evidently desperate about the situation.
She covered her face, seemingly suppressing her sobs, and said with a slight choke, "We have no other options. If there’s no way to change the temperature in the Seed Bank, we can only watch as those seeds and embryos freeze!
The authorities have no spare capacity to help us. They can only take care of themselves for now. I learned about the Energy Tower from a friend, and this is our last hope now!
I can only beg for your help! Please, for the sake of humanity and the planet, help us! Please save those seeds and embryos; they are key to rebuilding our future ho!"
Chen Xin looked at the female scientist covering her face and crying. Although he believed about 70 to 80 percent of the situation, he still had doubts in his mind.
It’s not that the female scientist’s words were suspicious; from every aspect, her words seed reasonable.
In the face of a global disaster, countries with so capability would be prepared. For a major nation like Lucia to prepare a Seed Bank for post-disaster ecological restoration is indeed logical.
As for the danger of the Seed Bank facing freezing due to low temperatures, that’s also normal.
After all, in Lucia, temperatures during winter before the disaster could reach minus forty to fifty degrees Celsius, not to ntion now, when it’s already below minus one hundred degrees. Chen Xin believed that even if the designed Seed Bank could withstand harsh environnts, it likely did not account for operations at such low temperatures.
Not to ntion that Lucia, hit hard by the epidemic, isn’t operating normally; problems with the Seed Bank are quite likely.
But the fact that the scientist directly ca to him for help, that’s where the issue lies.
According to standard procedure, the Seed Bank represented by the scientist should report the problem to Lucia’s officials, who then would consider the Energy Tower solution if they can’t handle the issue themselves.
Up to this point, it’s still normal. Next, Lucia officials should dispatch soone to negotiate support with Fla Country or directly purchase the Energy Tower core.
It’s absurd for a country’s officials to be unable to resolve issues and send a scientist begging for help from a private individual.
Could it be that soone is playing tricks here? Chen Xin pondered the notion and grew more vigilant.
Even though Chen Xin didn’t want to think this way, his experience in Lucia involved nurous chaotic conditions, surrounded by ambitious, scheming individuals. Who could guarantee that the female scientist in front of him wasn’t such a person?
Thinking this, Chen Xin clarified his stance and said to the female scientist, "Sorry, I can’t help you. If you need assistance, you should contact our relevant departnts through your official channels.
Whether you require material support or technical aid, it should be discussed with the relevant departnts of our country, not by seeking private assistance from .
While we do undertake so tasks supporting Lucia, what we can do is rely manage the materials transported dostically and provide you with dical and related technical support.
Concerning other matters, I have no authority to promise anything nor provide any help. If it is rely personal, I can consider recruiting a foreign scientist on behalf of our research departnt.
Beyond that, I can’t do anything. So please understand. If your Seed Bank truly faces a crisis and requires help, please proceed through official channels for assistance."
Chen Xin’s words were incredibly cold and indifferent, yet they were a logical response.
Facing Chen Xin’s cold attitude, the female scientist broke down and cried loudly, "No! You can’t do this! The Seed Bank is humanity’s treasure! It affects whether human civilization can be rebuilt! You can’t do this! You should help us!"
Saying this, she even attempted to rush toward Chen Xin but was imdiately restrained by a nearby soldier in an Exoskeleton and quickly subdued.
Looking at her tears and sobs, Chen Xin shook his head and said, "I’ve already told you the way; you don’t ask your national authorities for help but co here to cause a scene. Do you think that will make agree to help you? Sorry, that’s impossible. Take her out and hand her over to Lucia’s authorities."
After saying this, Chen Xin no longer paid attention to the crying scientist, directly turning and leaving the eting room.
The matter was not significant enough for Chen Xin to ponder, but the incident earlier made him vigilant, prompting him to stress to the security Commander to enhance security asures and notify the national authorities.
Although Chen Xin was not adept in this field, there were plenty of experts back ho. With a brief analysis, they surmised that Lucia had an interest in the Energy Tower technology.
Even so, even the intelligence departnt at ho found it strange, directly sending a female scientist to approach Chen Xin seed overly straightforward, simple, and blunt.
Unless Chen Xin was akin to a film character willing to sell national interests for personal reasons, agreeing to help the scientist rely after a few words, it was implausible.
Confronted with this situation, along with the analysis from back ho, Chen Xin considered it and proactively suggested sending experienced personnel into this field to be by his side.
Chen Xin was once an internet writer familiar with KGB’s reputation, not to ntion legendary figures like KGB’s "Swallow." He was unwilling to beco material for a spy drama, preferring to leave professional matters to professionals.
