People in Terra, governing a weird little country

Of course Parvis knew that Hemer had peeked at his computer. Even if he pretended not to know, he had to find out after Saria informed him of it.

But this did not affect his care and promotion of Hemer. After Hemer proposed to be one of the executors of the last Fire Demon Project experiment, Parvis agreed to her request without much hesitation and reported the nomination to Saria.

Of course, Saria intended to refuse this matter. Not only did she want to refuse, she also planned to fire Hemer on suspicion of stealing the company's confidential documents after the Fire Demon incident was over.

The company is not a court, and there is no need to provide evidence for matters such as dismissal. She will pay Hemer the penalty for forced termination of the contract and salary compensation in accordance with the requirements of Colombian law, but will also truthfully announce the news to other companies in Tremont.

With such a criminal record and having been fired by Saria, the founder and acting general manager of Rhine Life, it would be difficult for Hemer to find a decent job in Tremont again.

Ernst has no objection to Saria's future decisions.

No company can tolerate traitors, so it was reasonable for Rhine Life to fire Hemer, but in Ernst's view, everything Hemer did was not actually a bad thing.

She just had the luxury of high moral standards in this land of Terra, so she couldn't stand it and wanted to stop this cruel human experiment. Isn't this a reasonable thing for being born as a human being?

Hemer just works for Rhine Life. She is an employee, not a real company dog. She is unwilling to destroy her own moral bottom line for Rhine Life, so she can't be considered a bad person in any way.

At best, she was being used as a tool with good intentions.

If we have to say something, it is only this land that is at fault. If everyone on this land could have the same moral values ​​as Hemer and resist such outrageous experiments from the very beginning, then all these troubles would not have happened.

Unfortunately, if it can only be if, good people can't get a good ending, the better the person, the more likely they are to end up in tragedy, which seems to be the norm in this land. And if you happen to have white hair and silver hair with double horns, then congratulations, you have to consider your own life safety first, and carefully examine whether there are good friends around you who regard you as their white moonlight.

Hemer was lucky not to have these factors, but even so, Ernst did not want her to be expelled from Rhine Life in disgrace.

Should good people be held at gunpoint?

Ernst had no right to question Saria's decision, but on the contrary, he could use reason and the benefits to give Saria some other suggestions.

For example, instead of firing Hemer, or not firing her explicitly, she could be transferred to a new department, or a new organization could be created under the leadership of Rhine Life.

The name is the Tremont Science Ethics Council, or the Tremont Human Rights Association.

Ernst is a famous "Humanitarian Speaker", so it is not surprising for him to make this suggestion. After thinking about it, Saria also gave Ernst a reply:

"can."

She is not an unreasonable person. She also knows that it is unethical to conduct such experiments, but she is helpless because the issue of human experiments is just a "moral issue" in Colombia!

Colombia has never enacted law to prohibit such behavior. The prosperity and development of life sciences is a monument built up by piles of bones. It is another form of "one general's success is based on the sacrifices of thousands of others"!

From the perspective of the acting governor of Rhine Life, she could not allow Hemer to expand a "moral issue" to the point where it might affect the survival of Rhine Life.

But as a person, she was willing to accept Ernst's plan.

Although it is impossible to interfere with Colombia's legislation, Tremont, as the city of science, has a transcendent status and possesses certain "city legislative powers."

Launching Hemer, establishing a Human Rights Association, and pushing for restrictions on and even a ban on inhumane experiments such as human experiments in Tremont may indeed be an effective solution.

She has not revealed this matter to Hemer yet. She plans to wait until the Fire Demon Plan is officially over and Holhaya is arrested by Ernst, and then propose this plan when she has a showdown with Hemer.

So, in order to ease the relationship, although she finally rejected Hemer's application, she accepted what Hemer sent.

"These are Ifrit's favorite toys."

Saria looked towards the room across the wall, where Ifrit was lying on the bed, sleeping, with a slightly sad look on her face.

"Come to think of it, none of us actually got to know that child."

"You'll have a chance."

This sentence was not said by Ernst, but by Levi, who had completed his preparations and came to Saria's side.

He greeted Ernst, then turned his head and looked into the room.

A circular opening with a diameter of 259 meters had opened up on the floor of the room. The robot named Durin No. , which was custom-made by Ernst, was rising slowly from the ground and standing in front of Ifrit's bed.

On the other side, at the same time, the Originium that had undergone special treatment had opened its protective shield and entered a state ready for activation.

Levi pushed his glasses calmly:

"When the experiment is over, the Balrog in Ifrit will be stripped away and injected into the mecha. By then, the girl will wake up. She will no longer be troubled by another soul, and her mineral sickness will become milder due to the complete inactivation of the Balrog fragment implanted in her body. It will no longer worsen."

"At that time, you can reach out to protect her, so that she can avoid discrimination and live like a normal person."

Levi smiled and watched this final tranquility, and reminded:

"And now, the experiment is ready, Saria."

Saria and Ernst looked at each other, and the steel-like Rhine Shield took a deep breath and nodded:

"let's start."

Chapter 193 Military: I Split

"I have waited for this day for too long!"

"Don't stop me! Let me out!"

"Use fire to purify everything!"

clang--!

Along with a dull bell ringing, a flash of lightning suddenly shot out from the gloomy clouds above the capital of the ancient Victoria Empire and flew towards the northwest void.

For the people of Londinium, this was not a rare sight. Londinium was located in a land of abundant grass and water at the bottom of the central valley, and had been known as the City of Clouds since ancient times. Dark clouds floated over Londinium for at least half of the year, so even thunder like this was no longer surprising.

But for the Sarkaz in Londinium, especially the Pardoners who monitor the state of dead souls, this is a signal.

"With this level of agitation, the Flame Demon is about to revive."

The Absolver holding the dead branch looked at the mixed soul life in the tower of the Shard, which kept roaring unwillingly, and muttered to himself with flickering eyes.

"It is a great surprise that Columbia's science and technology can really revive a soul that has been dead for thousands of years. I hope the Regent can bring back good news, which will definitely help our research on the soul."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Oh, I really want to hear what the dead souls think about this matter."

And right in front of him, a group of souls called dead souls also erupted in a heated discussion.

However, slightly different from what the Pardoner thought, the dead souls were not entangled in how to revive the Flame Demon. What they were discussing intensely was how long it would take for the Flame Demon to come back.

"I sense a lot of unusual auras in that direction. I'm willing to bet on his life for a hundred years, and my son's soul!"

"Your perception is too weak, old Biden! As for my grandfather's name, I think he can only live for fifty years at most!"

"You old, outdated people should have given me gold coins long ago! There is only one truth, and I bet that guy will come back crying within ten years! I bet my ancestors for eighteen generations!"

"You stinky bastard, I am your ancestor!"

"What? You're talking nonsense! I'm a gatekeeper, what are you!"

Seeing that this betting competition was about to turn into a family tree elimination game, a highly respected soul among the dead souls finally stood up and stopped the two sides:

"Shut up, you guys who are only fit to grease my horns, I bet that idiot will have to come back and apologize to us within a year!"

The generations of dead souls who were arguing instantly united and questioned the person who spoke:

"What are you betting on?"

The venerable soul said loudly: "I am a Cyclops!"

"What are you betting on?"

The soul was a little angry: "I can predict the future!"

"So what are you betting on?"

Damn it, I told you I’m a Cyclops and I can predict the future. I can even predict what the lottery numbers will be tomorrow. How dare you fight me!

The dead soul of the Cyclops was furious and said on the spot: "Block the souls of all my descendants!"

The dead soul finally calmed down.

It’s not that they don’t believe what the Cyclops Dead Soul said, but as the saying goes, if you don’t fight for bread, you fight for your reputation. They are all the ancestors of the Sarkaz, so who is afraid of who?

Besides, who doesn’t know that the future seen by the Cyclops is tragic and not necessarily absolutely accurate?

You must be spreading rumors, for the proof is that our great-great ...

And at this moment, Columbia, Tremont, Rhine Life Laboratory.

Acting Chief Commander Saria passed the order down from one level to another, and finally it reached the executor, who pressed the button without hesitation.

The next second, the activation device was officially started, and the special Originium device in the center immediately emitted a shock wave. The whole room seemed to be blown by a strong wind. The branches and leaves of the plants shook violently, toys fell to the ground, and even the mecha placed in front of the bed was slightly displaced.

The people visiting the room couldn't help but take a step forward and watch everything that was about to happen in the room, not wanting to miss any shot.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound like crystal breaking, Miloqi, who was unwillingly "escorted" to the front of the team due to her humility towards the "little kid", saw a small Originium crystal reflected in her eyes.

The crystal was attached to the surface of a green radish. No, it was not so much attached as it was a leaf of Originium growing out of the vine of the green radish!

At the same time, everyone present also noticed the green radish that was the first to change. The executors stood up, and Saria and Muirseth couldn't help but move closer. Vina and Ernst stood to the side, watching the slowly growing source stone leaf, their eyes reflecting the colorful light refracted by its crystal surface under the light.

Even though most of the people present had more or less read Levi's paper on "Originium Life Science", it is one thing to read theories and data on websites and in publications, and it is another to witness it with your own eyes!

No matter how beautiful the scenery is described in photos and words, it is never better than experiencing it in person.

At this moment, this scenery, more magnificent than any mountains, rivers, lakes, birds and beasts, was vividly displayed before them.

Originium life! Life that is not afraid of Originium, life that coexists with Originium!

No one present could predict its prospects, just as a mother cannot predict what her newborn baby will achieve in the future.

But it was definitely a discovery that was enough to shock Terra!

"Phase one, completed. The experiment enters phase two."

Levi and Parvis's orders drew everyone's attention away from the Originium plants. People suddenly realized that this amazing Originium plant was actually just a by-product of the [Flame Demon Project].

What is truly remarkable is the results of the second phase of the experiment to be carried out next.

"It proves that Originium has the function of storing and protecting consciousness, and uses scientific means to extract the consciousness stored in Originium and inject it into an artificial mechanical body."

Perhaps such a description will make people confused and confused.

But it doesn't matter. We can use a simpler, more intuitive and more exciting way to describe this technology.

--【resurrection】

The military representative, Colonel Bart, had the glow of the Originium plants reflected in his sunglasses, and an expectant smile appeared on his face.

It is no secret in Colombia that the military has placed orders with Rhine Life and other scientific research companies in Trimon, expecting them to turn some of the items provided by the military into weapons or turn some plans into reality.

On weekdays, the big companies that Colonel Bart came into contact with would honestly complete the military's tasks, but most of them were attracted by the generous research funding from the military. For example, big companies such as Beach Umbrella, Volvot Kochinsky, and Rhine Life, it is hard to say that when they accepted the tasks, they did not have the idea of ​​"just dealing with it and making a profit".

But the military actually has no good solution. They don't have such talents in their own team, the political circles will not tolerate them to set up their own scientific research departments, and famous and talented scientists are unwilling to work hard for the military. Therefore, they can only mechanically and rigidly put forward their demands, like a prostitute, waiting for major technology companies to take turns to take over, and then accepting their charity-like things, panning for gold in shit.

He originally thought that the Fire Demon Project was just an insignificant one in the long career of Artemisia. Even though there were some minor episodes along the way and General Manager Christen, who led the project, ran away to Kjerag to pursue his scientific dream, at least Rhine Life was not completely ignorant and still left Saria to take over as the project manager.

As a result, who would have known that this little episode would have been fine if it hadn't been inserted, but once it was inserted it really turned into a section of "The Golden Rule of Leitania"!

Whether it is the surprising confirmation of Originium life, or the next highlight, the legendary [Resurrection], this is a huge surprise!

The scientist named Levi, although he is from Ursus (as he claims), his level of professionalism is much more sincere than that of our local scientists in Colombia!

Colonel Bart even developed a desire to recruit talented people. If he hadn't known that it was almost impossible to poach Rhine Life, he would have wanted to give it a try. He would have reported to his superiors and poached Levi to the military, despite the pressure and surveillance from the political circles.

Well...actually it's not completely impossible. After all, we are the military, and digging can also be a physical verb.

However, these are all things of the past. His most important task here at this moment is to witness Levi's experiment and witness whether the Flame Demon Plan can succeed!

If the extraction of the Flame Demon's consciousness can be successful, the robot can move, and the [Resurrection] technology can be realized, then everything else is empty.

Think about the value of this technology. Most of the races in Terra are short-lived. There are too many people who start to fear death when they reach old age! Once the military holds this card, how many people in the entire Terra can resist this temptation, let alone the Colombian political circles?

If the political circles knew in advance that the Flame Demon Project might obtain this technology, they would definitely stop the military from carrying out this experiment. Even if they themselves did not have it, they would not allow the military to have it.

Unfortunately, the military itself didn’t know that an ordinary plan of theirs could produce something like this under Levi’s leadership, so how could the political circles know?

"At this point, even if they want to stop it, it's too late!"

The corners of Colonel Bart's mouth rose uncontrollably. He had already begun to imagine himself returning to the military with his achievements, and his rank directly skipping to the level of a five-star general.

But at this moment, his cell phone rang at an inopportune time.

The sudden ringing of a cell phone rang throughout the observation room. Everyone, including Ernst and Saria, turned around and looked at this rude guy.

Colonel Bart felt his scalp tingling for a moment.

Under normal circumstances, he could still openly rely on his status to say, "What are you looking at?", but now is the critical stage of the experiment. If the experiment goes wrong because of him, he will be held responsible even if he has ten heads!

Next time in such a situation, I must turn off the sound of my phone!
