Chapter 482 I Can’t Tell the Difference!
Newton-Gasler was dismissed from all his official positions.
Although the information he provided was indeed of great value to the PPDC, not only clarifying the origin of the monster, but also pointing out that the monster was just a controlled biological weapon, and there was a "maker" behind it; but when Chu Xuan took out a more detailed and detailed research report three hours later, Dr. Newton's argument was thrown into the trash can...
In the analysis report that Chu Xuan took out, there was a lot of verifiable data. In terms of gene comparison, biological evolution, mathematical argumentation... Anyone who knows Chu Xuan a little bit knows that these are all the conclusions he has drawn from his day and night anatomical experiments and hard work, and every line of text is well documented. Even the most picky critics cannot find any faults in Chu Xuan's paper. It is the kind of level that can be directly published in newspapers and magazines without any polishing or modification.
On the other hand, Dr. Newton's report was entirely oral. He had just experienced a synaesthesia experiment and had not recovered from the sequelae. His mind was full of chaotic illusions and chaotic memories. He could not tell which ones were his imaginations and which ones were what he really saw through 'synaesthesia'... Even if Marshal Pantikost spent time and patiently listened to his report, Dr. Newton's reluctant report was mixed with a lot of subjective statements, and the words were not expressive and the sentences were not complete. It could not be called a report at all.
- On one side, he was the highest person in charge of the laboratory and invented the "psychic force sensing framework system" that everyone praised today. In addition to always having a cold face on weekdays, he also personally commanded the battle with monsters and won a perfect victory.
- On the other side, he was a monster fanatic who was not recognized by others. He seemed out of tune with others on weekdays. Not only did he not have many research results to show, but he also violated the rules and regulations privately and conducted an unauthorized synaesthesia experiment.
The difference between the two was obvious. So even if he was reluctant, Newton had to accept Chu Xuan's punishment for him.
Helplessly, the man chose to return to his room to reflect on his mistakes... But this does not mean that he can completely let go of this matter and calmly accept his failure.
...
"Damn it, there is absolutely no problem."
Newton threw away the principle report paper on the "mental force sensing framework system" in his hand, and fell on the bed in frustration. Just now, he was full of anger and dissatisfaction and read through the academic opinions and papers published by Chu Xuan after entering PPDC from beginning to end, trying to find loopholes in his data and errors in his opinions.
But even if Newton read it back and forth three times, and even took a magnifying glass to find errors in the paper, he still couldn't find any problems... All the data are tightly connected, all the theories have traces, and countless numbers and arguments together form an indestructible fortress, leaving Newton with nothing but sighing in despair.
"Numbers don't lie. Politics, poetry, promises... these are lies. Numbers are as true and credible as God's manuscripts."
Suddenly, Newton seemed to hear Dr. Gottlieb's words ringing in his ears. This was a sentence that the man always said when the two quarreled. But now, Newton missed the weird man who was always on crutches because of his inflexible legs and feet.
"Damn it." Newton muttered in frustration: "I thought you were the most arrogant person I had ever seen. But now it seems that I was wrong. Your arrogance is not even one ten-thousandth of that guy..."
"...Of course, the degree of genius is also."
In his dispute with Chu Xuan, no one stood on Newton's side. Even Dr. Gottlieb, who was closest to him in PPDC and was both his enemy and friend, could only shake his head and turn away after reading the reports of the two without saying a word.
Newton firmly believed that he was a genius, but the higher he stood, the more he could understand the gap between him and Chu Xuan. If he concluded ten through "synesthesia", then Chu Xuan concluded thirty, forty, fifty, or even more... This is a visible gap. The more he studied Chu Xuan's paper, the more desperate he became.
"Yes, since he was able to research the mental force sensing framework system, he must have thoroughly understood the entire principle of "synesthesia". In this case, it is only natural that he can go further than me..."
Newton turned over, covered his cheeks with both hands, and talked to himself facing the cold bed. He admitted that when he couldn't wait to start the synesthesia with the monster's brain, he was thinking not only to prove his theory, but also a little proud. He felt that he would soon become the first person in human history to have synesthesia with alien species.
...But now it seems that he is just a clown, and no one will remember the clown.
Just when Dr. Newton was about to accept his failure and admit that he had become a stepping stone on the road to the rise of a genius, a different idea suddenly broke into his mind.
——If he hadn't requisitioned my monster organs and tissues, how could he have come up with so much detailed data and the final conclusion? Obviously, the direction of his research is exactly the same as what I think...
Once the thought arises, it cannot be suppressed. Jealousy is a weed that grows wildly in Dr. Newton's heart in an instant, and his thoughts quickly slide in another direction.
——The research results he obtained are all based on the conjectures I put forward.
——He clearly has time to write this detailed report, but why didn't he take it out, but kept it secret from Marshal Pantecost? Such a detailed report can never be written in three hours, even if someone helps him write it...
——Why has he always ignored my proposal? Why is he willing to look directly at my request only when I go to find him? And why did he agree when the last monster brain was just used?
——Did he do it on purpose? Did he see my application a long time ago, and then deliberately suppress me, wanting to steal my victory first?
Countless thoughts kept bursting out in Dr. Newton's brain, and countless illusions came with it. Even though the man took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes vigorously, due to the sequelae of synaesthesia, he found that his thoughts were still uncontrollably diverging, and he began to gradually lose track of what was his memory, what was the scene he saw from "synaesthesia", what was real, and what was illusory...
-Until he jumped up from the bed, put on his glasses, and pushed open the door next door.
And there, Xie Luyin, who had changed into the training uniform of the Mecha Hunter Academy, sat quietly on the chair. Even when facing Newton who suddenly entered, she did not show the slightest surprise, but stood up, as if she had been prepared for it.
"Take me to the mecha warehouse."
Newton's voice became emotionless, completely different from his previous voice, but somewhat similar to Chu Xuan: "Now."
"Of course."
Xie Luyin stood up and smiled.
"Your will."
