The Terra Travel Diary of Neither Sacred, Rhea, nor Terra

It was indeed a surprise attack.

Researcher Hemer, who was obviously unprepared for Saria's sudden attack, rushed out of her office at a trot, with an expression of surprise, astonishment, fear and restraint on her face.

"Director Saria, why didn't you inform us in advance? Ifrit didn't even know about it."

From the feathers in her brown hair, it could be seen that this researcher, whose attire was even less unkempt than Kristen's, was from the Liberian tribe.

And it is an owl that can be classified as a bird of prey.

However, when facing the female dragon, Saria, the raptor was as obedient as a little chick.

"How is Ifrit now? Researcher Hemer," asked Saria.

"I just received an injection of medicine thirty minutes ago, and now I have taken sleeping pills and gone to bed. What happened, Director Saria?" Hemer asked curiously, noticing the hint of stiffness and unhappiness in Saria's tone.

"From now on, the human chimera experiment will be suspended. You go and organize the data and wait for the defense department to take over." Saria said to Hemer.

"...Ah?" The Owl Researcher was stunned for at least 5 seconds before he realized what Saria was saying and asked quickly:

"Did something go wrong with the experiment? Why is it suspended?"

"This is an order, Humer." Saria did not show any mercy to the owl, or rather, changing the name from "Researcher Humer" to "Hummer" showed all Saria's concern.

"Okay, I'll go right away...Ah, Commander, why are you here too!" Hemer was very disappointed and it was not until this time that he saw the silver-gray robot version of Commander Christen following Director Saria.

Miku, who was following behind Saria and Kristen, saw this scene and smiled.

"The Defense Department has the authority to review and decide on all Rhine Life's research projects." Christen said in a calm tone.

Kristen knew why the Liberi in front of her was surprised by the suspension of the project.

Being able to host such a large project means that Hemer has reached the level of half-step director in Rhine Life.

If it can be completed successfully, even if I cannot reopen a department, I will be second to none in the structural department.

Now that the project has been cancelled, it can be said to be a very serious blow to Hemer's career.

I don’t know when the next opportunity will be, and there may never be another chance to achieve success overnight.

Christen didn't finish her words. As the director of the defense department who cleans up the mess of Rhine Life's crazy scientists every day, Saria does have the authority to review and decide on all Rhine Life's research projects.

However, if this review decision conflicts with that of another department director, it must be submitted to Christen, who will make the final decision on whether the project should continue.

However, there is no need to tell Hemer about these things, and since Christen will come here, the internal authority division of these Rhine life forms is no longer important.

"Okay, Director Saria, Chief Administrator Christen, I'll go organize the information right away." With a look of loss on his face, Hemer took extremely heavy steps back to his office.

After the office door was closed again, Miku suddenly spoke:

"wait a second."

"What's wrong?" Kristen and Saria turned around in confusion and suddenly found that Miku, who was walking behind them, was nowhere to be seen.

"?" Saria was about to sound the alarm, but luckily Christen was quick enough to stop her best friend.

"We just need to wait here." Kristen was already used to Miku's elusiveness.

"Waiting?" Saria, who was not used to Miku's way of acting, asked in confusion.

"Or..." Kristen tilted her head slightly, as if listening to something, and then said, "We can also go find Parvis now."

"..." Saria knew that Christen was communicating with Miku in an unknown way, so she shook her head and said:

"No, let's just stay here."

"Let's have a cup of coffee together? If I remember correctly, the structural department

Coffee is the best thing in Rhine's life." Kristen asked.

Parvis, director of the Rhine Life Science Structure Department, likes to drink coffee, so the coffee in the Structure Department is the best in Rhine Life.

This is just like the fact that the red wine from the Human Resources Department is the best.

"Okay." Knowing that the structural department's coffee was delicious, Saria did not reject Christen's suggestion. She was just a little curious whether Christen could still drink coffee in her current state?

"Of course, my body is no different from a normal person's except that it is made up of neurotransmitters." Christen said confidently with her hands in her pockets.

"Really?" Unlike others who were just watching the fun, Saria, an expert in bioengineering, knew very well what Christen's answer meant.

"Of course, I can even simulate the entire process of infection with oripathy on my current body." Kristen replied, knowing what Saria was surprised about.

"…If Parvis knew…" Saria said in a subtle tone, having thought of something.

"This should have been Parvez's greatest achievement in life, but it's a pity that he didn't take the last step," said Kristen.

"The last step? The materialization of consciousness?" Saria immediately knew what Christen was talking about.

It is theoretically possible to replace all body tissues with a special material, but the most difficult part of this theory is how to keep consciousness existing.

"Well, Parvis was unable to make his consciousness exist independently until the very end. I can have the body I have now thanks to the help of Lord Miku." Christen nodded and said.

"This is... exaggerated enough." After a few brief conversations, Saria realized what kind of power the alien Miku possessed.

Rather than her fighting ability that could completely defeat Saria, her skills are what are truly terrifying.

No wonder those third-rate tabloids always spread rumors that General Manager Christen acquired alien technology and was able to develop Rhine Life into a super conglomerate in just a few years.

Now it seems that if Kristen had the alien Miku by her side when Rhine Life was just established, it would have been considered slack to take a few years to develop into a super consortium.

Is this the true strength of the doctor who never replied to any of Christen’s letters?

Perhaps in the eyes of that doctor, Kristen's questions were as unworthy of any answer as a child's playing house.

Now the question is, how did Rhodes Island, with such a person, lose to its opponent in the Kazdel Civil War?

Is it because you don't want to play anymore? Or is it because you do it deliberately for some purpose?

Unconsciously, Saria began to care about Miku's past.

Kristen vaguely guessed what Saria was thinking, but didn't say much. Instead, she reminded him, "Do you still want to drink coffee?"

"Yeah." Putting these thoughts in her heart for the time being, Saria and Kristen went to the dining area in every laboratory floor to drink the special coffee provided by the structural department.

At the same time, in the project office of "Human Chimera Therapy", project manager Hemer was organizing the experimental data according to Director Saria's requirements.

From Hemer's extremely stiff movements, it can be seen that she is now only acting based on habitual instinct, and her thoughts have long drifted away to who knows where.

When Hemer repeated what he had just done for the third time, Miku, who had been standing aside for a while, asked:

"Is this the gift you prepared?"

"Ah?" When Hemer came to her senses, she saw a stranger she had never seen before, who was holding a gray-brown feather and talking to her.

"Who are you? How did you get in? This is a confidential laboratory. No entry without permission!" Hemer, who questioned Miku loudly, looked a bit like a bird of prey.

While questioning Miku, Hemer also carefully moved to the side of a device.

Whenever something goes wrong, she will press the distress button on the device in accordance with the Rhine Life Laboratory regulations.

"I came in through the door. No, I shouldn't be considered to have come in through the door." Miku shook the feather in his hand and said to Hemer, "But I should have the authority."

"What do you mean you should have the authority? Who are you anyway?! If you don't tell me, I'm going to sound the alarm!"

Unfortunately, Miku's words did not make Hemer relax his vigilance. Instead, the owl's gray-brown hair, the same color as the feather in Miku's hand, swelled up a whole circle, as if its fur had exploded.

"Don't be nervous. You were just reading a paper about me." Miku continued to wave the feather in his hand, trying to comfort the owl in front of him.

"Paper?" Hemer subconsciously glanced at the desk next to Miku. There was indeed a paper on the terminal on the desk.

To be precise, there are quite a few papers, which have appeared in Rhine Life's internal academic exchange journal like a blowout in recent days.

Because these papers involve artificial organ transplantation and have some intersection with the "human chimera therapy" that Hemer is in charge of, she has been reading these papers every day in the past few days, hoping to get inspiration from them.

Judging from the fact that Miku's words diverted our attention, this owl, Hemer, is still a long way from being a real bird of prey.

If someone was a little more vigilant, they would have pressed the alarm long ago.

"These papers? Are they related to you?" Hemer asked in surprise, not realizing that his vigilance was rapidly disappearing.

"Yes, I am the corresponding author of all the papers." Miku said, pointing to the author column of the papers on the terminal screen with his other hand.

Although Miku has taken off the Mechanical Sage's attire, the recruitment contract with Rhine Life is still there.

And with the end of the war and the restoration of contact with the Rhine Life headquarters, Christen immediately passed Miku's contract to Tremon.

Miku was directly included in the general construction department.

His position is that of an engineer in a stocking factory, and they call Miku "Chief Engineer" instead of a mechanical sage.

Such a fast speed makes people feel that Christen is taking revenge. After all, Rhodes Island will be poaching people from Rhine Life like crazy in the next few years.

"You...you, you, you are the Chief Engineer Mi?"

Hemer asked in surprise.

Through studying these papers over the past few days, Hemer also noticed that these hundreds of papers that suddenly emerged all had the same corresponding author.

In other words, all of these papers, which together can be regarded as a complete set of artificial organ projects, were led by this corresponding author.

This situation is not uncommon in Rhine Life. For example, the corresponding author of all academic papers produced by the Rhine Structural Department where Hemer is located is Parvis, the director of the Structural Department.

In other words, in Hemer's eyes, Chief Engineer Mi in those papers is a big shot at the same level as her mentor Parvis.

Shocked, Hemer remembered that he seemed to have seen this person in front of him next to Director Saria and General Manager Christen.

It seems that the person who can accompany Director Saria and the general manager to visit the Structural Department is none other than Chief Engineer Mi.

Thinking of this, Hemer no longer questioned Miku's identity, nor did he ask whether Miku had the authority. Instead, he asked in a somewhat timid tone:

"Chief Engineer, what do you want to do with me?"

"No, I just came to take a look. After all, the suspension of your project is also indirectly related to me." Miku said to Hemer.

"Ah???" After Hemer was stunned for several seconds, the timid expression that had just appeared on his face quickly disappeared, revealing a hint of sadness.

So, it is because Chief Engineer Mi has already developed a complete set of human chimera technology, so all his research has become useless and was cancelled?

It is not uncommon in the academic world that one's own research topic is taken advantage of by others and all one's efforts are turned into nothing. It can even be said to be very common.

But for Hemer, this was the first time she had encountered such a thing.

A feeling of grief and despair surged into Hemer's heart, causing her legs to go weak and she knelt on the ground.

Having seen many similar scenes, Miku did not disturb the other party. As Hemer knew, this kind of thing was very common.

The saying "One general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers" is very appropriate in the academic world.

Although seriously speaking, the human chimera therapy presided over by this owl was not cancelled because of the artificial prosthetic organs made by Miku in the stocking factory in Tikarendo.

However, what surprised Miku a little was that the owl in front of him recovered at a faster speed.

Hemer stood up again and said to himself:

"With mature technology, Ifrit won't have to suffer that pain every day."

As he said this, Hemer looked at Miku with eyes full of expectation, but then he remembered something and felt disappointed again.

Yes, Ifrit can be saved, but this has nothing to do with Hemer anymore.

As Director Parvis's chief disciple, Hemer, who has been regarded by many researchers in the structural department as the next director, is unlikely to switch to another department for a project.

"Interesting, isn't it, Ifrit?" Miku asked the owl in front of him with a playful look.

"Well, she is my patient. If she is transferred to your department, I hope you can make her suffer less."

Hemer did not ask Miku to cure Ifrit, because oripathy, the highest peak in Terra's medical field, was not so easy to climb.

What surprised Hemer was that Chief Engineer Mi, who was standing in front of her, said in a confident tone:

"I will cure her, don't worry."

"?" Hemer had no idea where Miku got his confidence from. Perhaps this was the strength of the boss.

If Miku could really cure the oripathy with this method, Hemer was excited that Ifrit would no longer have to suffer, but at the same time he felt lost again that he could not be a part of it.

Anyway, since greeting Saria, the expression on the owl's face has been in a fan-shaped state of different proportions most of the time.

"Is this something you plan to give to Director Saria?" Miku, who was smiling the whole time, drew Hemer's attention back.

"Ah, that's... yes, that's the gift I was going to give to Director Saria." There was a hint of embarrassment on Hemer's expression.

For the people of Liberia, giving feathers as a gift has a special meaning. Hemer didn't know whether the chief engineer Mi in front of him, whose racial characteristics could not be seen, knew this meaning.

"Do you need me to forward it?" Miku asked.

"Ah, then... then... thank you very much."

Hemer subconsciously wanted to refuse, but in the end he swallowed the words back.
