I handed over to another world

At this time, the members of the laboratory did not notice the gloom between Chen Lin's brows. Everyone was still immersed in the joy of success. After all, for Chen Lin, protecting such scientific researchers from interference from external pressure is his important responsibility as vice president.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our achievements are worth celebrating, but please remember - we still have a long way to go."

Chen Lin's voice reached everyone's ears through the applause, "We must continue to stick to the original intention of scientific research, ensure the safety and stability of technology, and let it shine on the right path. I hope everyone present can do what I and the association require."

The applause gradually died down, and the researchers began to think seriously about Chen Lin's words. Those present at the scene knew very well that although the technology was mature, the association's restrictions were due to careful consideration of the risks that the technology might bring. Once this advanced technology was used by some people with ulterior motives, the impact would probably be catastrophic.

Chen Lin glanced at it and continued, "The association's restrictions are to protect this technology from being abused, and also to protect each of our researchers."

“I hope everyone here will understand and support the association’s decision, and continue to explore how to make this technology better serve society while ensuring safety.”

The researchers present nodded one after another, and following the voice of the person in charge in front, they all expressed that they would continue to work hard to promote the development and application of technology within the framework of the association.

After the meeting, Chen Lin left the head of the laboratory alone. When the two talked alone, Chen Lin's tone became serious.

"We must strengthen the supervision of technology. This technology is very dangerous. The association must ensure that there will be no leakage or abuse."

The person in charge nodded seriously: "I understand, Vice President. This technology has attracted attention from all parties when it first came out. It is obviously different from the phenomenon of ordinary technological breakthroughs..."

Chen Lin sighed slightly: "This is indeed the case. Many people in the association's senior management have some special ideas. They think that if there are any accidents in the future, they can always rely on this technology to perform some unconventional operations."

"You have to know that the current technological development of the association has already reached a level that was completely unimaginable in the past. For example, cloning technology was quickly developed after we established contact with the Night Alliance. We also upgraded organ-related research in the later stages."

Chen Lin said to the researcher in front of him in a deep voice: "If we combine it with the current consciousness transfer technology, clone a torso without independent consciousness and then apply consciousness transfer technology..."

"You should understand what I mean, right?"

The person in charge was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Chen Lin with an incredulous expression and said, "Is this possible?"

"Nothing surprising here. This is the main problem facing the association right now."

Chen Lin said calmly, "I will continue to fight for space for our research within the association, but you must also be prepared to deal with various complex situations at any time. What I just said are the main problems at present. When the time comes, I will directly upgrade the specifications of this laboratory to the highest level. Except for those above the vice president level who can directly mobilize relevant information and experimental content, no one else will be allowed to enter."

"Understand?"

The person in charge nodded seriously: "President Chen, we understand... the laboratory's safety measures are already the most stringent. We will be more careful next time to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Chen Lin nodded slightly. He knew that the risk still existed and posed a constant threat to the safety of the entire association. Any negligence at this critical moment could lead to irreversible consequences.

He must ensure that every step of the laboratory is on the right track. Chen Lin's eyes flashed with determination: "I will assign a special security team to assist you. They are all elites who have been strictly screened, loyal to the association, and understand the technology. They can help you better protect your research results."

Chen Lin's tone revealed his unquestionable determination: "If there is a safety issue, I will directly ask them to shoot - if there is something that cannot be handled, contact me and Chairman Zhang immediately. All other administrative orders that are not issued by me and Chairman Zhang should be treated as non-existent."

After hearing this, the person in charge felt relieved. He knew that Chen Lin's arrangement meant that the laboratory's safety level would be improved unprecedentedly.

"In addition, I need you to personally oversee the development and implementation of a new confidentiality agreement."

Chen Lin continued to instruct, “Everyone who comes into contact with the core technology must sign this agreement, and any violation will be subject to the most severe punishment.”

The person in charge nodded in agreement.

Chen Lin stood up and walked to the window. He looked at the night outside, his heart full of contradictions.

Now he is proud of the achievements of the laboratory, but also worried about the risks that this technology may bring. The breakthrough in consciousness transfer technology should have been hidden at the beginning, or at least it should not have been known to so many people like it is today.

"We are walking a path that no one has walked before, and every step is full of unknowns."

Chen Lin turned his back to the person in charge, with a hint of heaviness in his voice, "But we must go on, because these things are useful to the entire Red Dragon Association, and will promote the future development of the Red Dragon Association..."

The person in charge stood silently behind Chen Lin. He could feel the weight on Chen Lin's shoulders, which was the sense of responsibility of a senior member of the association for the entire association and even the whole world.

"Vice President, we will not let you down."

The person in charge said firmly after a while, "Our entire institute will definitely not cause the association to worry too much. We will definitely pay attention to the safety issues you mentioned."

Chen Lin turned around and gave the person in charge an encouraging smile: "I believe in you."

……

A few days later, some rumors spread within the association that a senior executive had privately tried to contact the laboratory in the hope of obtaining relevant information on consciousness transfer technology.

This news soon reached Chen Lin's ears. He frowned, feeling dissatisfaction and worry in his heart, and soon decided to make this matter public as a typical case.

At least on the surface, it can clearly show what the attitude of the association is. At a regular meeting of the association, Chen Lin directly criticized the behavior of this senior staff member.

His voice was cold and firm, and the atmosphere in the conference room instantly became tense.

"I must clearly point out here that recently some senior personnel have attempted to circumvent regulations and directly request information on consciousness transfer technology from the laboratory."

Chen Lin's eyes swept across everyone present, and finally fixed on the guilty senior executive, "This behavior is completely unacceptable! Our regulations are to protect technology from being abused and to protect scientific researchers from outside interference. This is our bottom line!"

The other people in the conference room lowered their heads or exchanged glances. The senior staff member who was named turned pale and tried to explain: "Vice President Chen, I was just curious for a moment, and I didn't mean anything else..."

"curious?"

Chen Lin interrupted him, "Your curiosity may bring disastrous consequences to all of our efforts!"

"This technology is not a toy. It cannot be ignored just because of curiosity. You should know that I have repeatedly instructed the association's senior management in many meetings not to allow or influence the research process of the entire experiment!"

"What about you? After you went there, because you were restricted from entering to obtain information, you started yelling over there, saying that you were the head of a certain department and that you had a certain relationship with someone in Shangdu... You thought I didn't know all this, right?"

Chen Lin's tone became more serious: "I hope everyone here can remember that our responsibility is to protect this technology and ensure that it can develop on the right path, and any attempt to circumvent the regulations will be severely punished!"

The conference room fell into silence, and the senior executive didn't dare to make any more noise.

They all knew that Chen Lin was the next president candidate for the association. The current president Zhang, and the more distant president Li, were all standing beside him without a second thought. Moreover, the issue that Chen Lin seized on was not just nitpicking, but a major problem that violated the bottom line principle.
"I will assign someone to review our confidentiality agreements and security measures to ensure there are no loopholes."

Chen Lin continued, "At the same time, I will keep a close eye on the developments in the laboratory. Any unauthorized contact will be considered a violation of the relevant specifications set by the association. At that time, the person will be fired at the least, or sent directly to Qin Zhaodi in Shangdu to live a hard life for a few days!"

……

After the meeting, Chen Lin immediately had a private discussion with Chairman Zhang to discuss the outcome of the handling of the senior executive who violated the rules.

In President Zhang's office, the two sat face to face. After Chen Lin gave a detailed report of the incident and his opinion, he spoke up: "President Zhang, I think the behavior of this senior executive has seriously violated the regulations of the association and posed a potential threat to the safety of the laboratory."

Chen Lin said seriously, "We must take severe measures to warn other personnel. This type of violation must be dealt with severely."

President Zhang nodded in agreement. He was obviously disappointed with the behavior of this senior executive. "Vice President Chen, I understand your concerns. The importance of this technology is self-evident. As senior executives of the association, we must not let our personal desires affect the future of the entire association."

"Do you have any specific suggestions on how to deal with him?"

Chen Lin pondered for a moment, then said, "First, I suggest that this senior staff member's positions in the association be revoked immediately, and he be prohibited from contacting any projects related to consciousness transfer technology in the future."

"We should make his punishment public, at least to the association, and it should be very clear. I also suggest that a comprehensive security review be conducted within the association to ensure that there are no loopholes in our confidentiality measures and security protocols."

After listening to this, President Zhang pondered for a while and then said, "I agree with your suggestion."

"However, we also need to consider the network of connections this senior official has within the association. We need to ensure that this handling will not cause unnecessary impact."

"How about this, I will personally communicate with the relevant personnel to ensure that this matter is properly handled."

Chen Lin nodded in agreement, and heard President Zhang continue to speak to him: "We have actually dealt with related matters before. This is not a big deal. You have to know that many of the association's senior executives are made of flesh and blood. Relying solely on faith and the like cannot allow them to completely overcome their fear of death..."

The two of them briefly discussed for a few more sentences, and then President Zhang stood up and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Chen Lin: "Just do it according to the plan we discussed. If this incident is handled properly, it will have a positive impact on the future development of our association."

Chen Lin also stood up and shook hands with President Zhang: "Thank you for your support, President Zhang. I will make sure this matter is resolved satisfactorily."

When Chen Lin left Chairman Zhang's office, he already had a clear plan of action in mind. After returning to his office, Chen Lin immediately gathered his people and explained the situation in detail.

The order was quickly issued, and the association immediately announced the revocation of all positions of that senior executive and prohibited him from participating in any projects related to consciousness transfer technology in the future.

Chen Lin particularly emphasized that the handling of this incident must be open and transparent so that all association members understand that the consequences of violations are serious.

He also asked the relevant training departments to conduct a comprehensive safety education and confidentiality training for the entire association to enhance everyone's discipline and safety awareness.

With the assistance of President Zhang, Chen Lin also communicated with other senior executives within the association, explained the importance of the decision, and listened to their opinions and suggestions. The vast majority of senior executives expressed support for Chen Lin's decision, believing that this was a necessary measure to maintain the discipline and safety of the association.

A few days later, the association officially issued an announcement on the handling of the matter - the senior executive who violated the rules was immediately dismissed from his post and was required to work in a designated idle area within a specified time. However, judging from his subsequent position, his life in the second half of his life would probably not be so easy.

President Zhang was worried that Chen Lin would be afraid to act due to the hatred and resentment from subsequent related personnel. He did not expect that Chen Lin would act extremely quickly and decisively, and his treatment of the related personnel could almost be described as thundering. This surprised him very much.

At this moment, he felt that Li Tianyun's choice of Chen Lin as the next president of the association was a very wise choice. In fact, there have been similar situations in the decades since the association was founded. After all, everyone who can reach this position is not an ordinary person. Young people can also increase their experience and ability through training and finally be competent for related work... (End of this chapter)
