Overturned Tower

"Compared with that illusory thing... what is more realistic is the question of who should be responsible and who should take the blame."

The black-haired woman coughed lightly, showing her tenderness as a woman.

She did not continue to embarrass Ringo, but calmly took over the topic and tried her best to distract her attention by speaking in words that Ringo could understand: "But no matter what, as long as this matter can be handled properly, this will still be our group's responsibility." credit. Although the process has changed, the ultimate goal remains the same."

Russell followed suit, and his expressions were inexplicably synchronized with the black-haired woman: "Tongshen Island needs to change, and someone needs to be responsible for the rebellion of the synthetics. 'Hero Russell' is a perfect excuse, and I am willing to Bear the consequences - because I don't care what the xenophobic civilians on Tongshen Island think of me.

"But I am willing to bear this infamy because I actually made the decision. In other words, since I am allowed to take the blame, at least I have the power to command them all. In other words, it is not that I don't even have the right to veto. I just signed something, went through the motions and took a vacation, and then went home inexplicably carrying a bag of trouble that came from nowhere.

"Without even thinking about it, I knew that if we had shown cowardice just now, we would have signed some inexplicable decision-making documents. It was probably some old man behind the scenes who was mixed in, and the policies that we wanted to change and the people that we wanted to kill were mixed in. Mix it in and throw the pot at me. That's what they're going to do...

"——Because if it were me, I would do the same."

Russell smiled brightly and looked at the woman beside him.

He said meaningfully: “Of course, even now, it’s not that I can’t do it.

"But that's another price tag. The price paid by Director Amirus for inviting me over is not enough for me to bear the extra blame."

"I will inform Chairman Sal about these matters."

The black-haired woman replied seriously: "The Sanoshin Heavy Industry lacks nothing. Even if it is the unique technology of ampoule biomedical treatment or Thoth psychic energy, we have it.

"I heard Director Amilus say that you originally planned to go to Tongshen Island to work. In fact, it's not too late even now... If you want to help us or participate in research, you don't necessarily have to work on Tongshen Island. island.

"If you are willing to join and help us, I think we can afford any price - I think no one in the world can offer a higher price than us. We can chase the prices that other giants can offer. Go higher. You don’t have to worry about what those lower-class scum think... Tongshen Island was actually built by people from outer islands, because although we don’t have a mature talent training system, we have always directly learned from other empty islands. Poaching people.

"We have poached more than 300 artificial intelligence experts, network security experts and prosthetic experts from Sogo Island, some scholars who are proficient in recreating ancient technologies from Sun Island, astronomy and oceanographers from Yongquan Island, Physicists, we reorganized the entire annealing nerve center team. We hired more than 40 architects, botanists, and artists from Taoyuan Island, and more than 80 elite doctors and replicas from Holy Blood Island. We also optimized some of the ampoule's unique drugs, as well as more than 800 outstanding scholars in the biomedical field, to build a pharmaceutical production park that is no worse than the Holy Blood Island headquarters...

"Even on Happy Island, we have recruited nearly a hundred elites from all walks of life. The 'dust gap' and 'monkey-faced eagle' you know are only a small part of them.

"The real elites we bought live in the sun-drenched upper floors. They are the essence of the entire Tongshen Island - if Sun Island wants to build a library that collects all theoretical knowledge, ancient technology and historical secrets, then What Tongshen Island wants to build... is a collection of industrial systems around the world.

"This entire Tongshen Island is a huge industrial complex. The directors of our Shenzhi Heavy Industry are fundamentally different from the directors of other empty islands.

“Eighty percent of the island’s income controlled by our senior leaders is not used for enjoyment, let alone squandering… but for plunder.

“Based on economic plunder, plunder of talent and industrial system.

"You have just arrived, so you don't know yet. The rejection of the outer islanders by those lower-class scum is mixed with hatred and jealousy.

"Those people in the Tianen Group whose brains are designed for entertainment have no idea what it means for 'Opener' Sally Ruth to train the best students, but we do. What research do you want to engage in? You can just ask which island’s unique technology patent you want to buy, or which island’s doctor you need to assist in your research. We can afford it.

"Your political wisdom also proves that you are not a naive teenager or a nerd who is played around with. A first-class researcher with outstanding leadership skills and political wisdom, you are exactly the talent we lack."

The black-haired woman opened up her chatterbox and continued to confuse Russell.

Her words were full of sincerity - Russell could definitely feel that they were determined to poach her.

……No wonder.

The fake Tokifat was so easily given the position of deputy director to himself. It turns out that Shenzhi Heavy Industries really has this tradition.

It does not pursue historical truth, nor does it care about theoretical knowledge. Instead, we directly recruit technical talents who have completed phased experiments, and value the realization and reproduction of technology more than anyone else...

This is not the kind of monopoly that seizes technology with no purpose and greed.

They have a clear purpose and what they want to accomplish - only with this possibility will they continue to poach people, and only technical talents.

And when they recruit people, they emphasize "I want everything" instead of being limited to a certain field...

"The reappearance of the technical system...is that right?"

Russell murmured: "So this is what you are pursuing?

"No, or rather... the ultimate goal pursued by you and Sun Island is similar - you are also trying to reproduce ancient technology, right?"

After hearing Russell's words, the woman fell silent.

Although her pupils did not even change, and even micro-expressions did not appear on her face after minor surgery.

But Russell still felt the fear in her heart. That is the fear revealed when the pretense is exposed and the truth is revealed.

……I see.

The ultimate goal of Theosophy Heavy Industry may not be as simple as completing cyber immortality.

They are even more greedy... They want to recreate the entire ancient technological system.

But this doesn’t seem right. At least cyber immortality should not be an ancient technology, and the elves know nothing about it.

So, is this a taboo in ancient technology? In other words, what they are pursuing is not just reproducing ancient technology...

But do more.

"So greedy..."

No wonder "Mammon" hatched.

The name Mammon is exactly the demon god who symbolizes "greed" among the seven deadly sins.

"...I don't hate it."

Russell smiled.

Up to this point, it can be regarded as a deduced part. If you continue to talk, although you can dig out more secrets by sensing the other party's psychology, your own situation may be dangerous.

This Kudo Shinichi behavior is still avoided.

After completely suppressing the opponent, Russell calmly changed the subject like a winner: "Tell me... Chairman Sal?"

He looked back at the human woman with horse ears and asked politely: "Speaking of which, what should I call you?"

"...I am a siren."

The black-haired woman said softly: "Chairman Sal's secretary."

"The chairman's secretary came to recruit me personally..."

Russell murmured softly, and the slender white fingers of his right hand hit the table casually as if playing a piano, which put great psychological pressure on Siren.

Although she looks only in her early twenties, she is actually in her fifties this year. This is exactly the result of the "elixir" technology bought from Holy Blood Island to block the aging of the body.

Although human directors cannot use this life extension method, as a secretary, she can circumvent this restriction. As a result, she now wields no less substantial power than a human director.

The young man in front of her, who was obviously less than half her age, seemed to give her a sense of pressure like when dealing with elf directors.

It's not that it's really so terrifying and incomprehensible... She has seen too many elves, and she has long been accustomed to the kind of wisdom that surpasses mortals.

It is a sense of dissonance brought about by an essence that is completely different from appearance and appearance.

She looked at Russell as if she were looking at another self. Is it reasonable to be able to gain the wisdom of nearly sixty years old when you are only twenty years old?

Soon Russell's pounding was over.

He raised his head and said without warning the words that made Siren's heart stop: "My teacher has come to Tongshen Island?"

Siren didn't know how Russell calculated it out of thin air, so she didn't dare to tell any lies.

He could only lower his head to cover up his insignificant fear as a mortal: "Director Sally Ruth is currently on the Island of the Gods..."

"Oh~"

Russell drawled, with two shallow dimples on his face.

He suddenly understood and said with a smile: "No wonder. No wonder it's me... No wonder you want to test me. No wonder I sent you to treat me so enthusiastically and dare to offer 'everything' to increase the price to recruit me... I'm still wondering. I shouldn’t be at this level.”

"...Want to meet Director Sally Ruth?"

Ringo on the side asked in a low voice.

Russell shook his head: "No need, she will definitely know that I am coming. Let's do our work first and wait for the mentor to come to me."

He said, narrowing his eyes slightly and thinking to himself.

Mentor, as a named elf who has lived on Sogo Island for a long time, why did she come to Tongshen Island at this time...

What does she want to do?
