Chapter 116 Need to add more money (please subscribe~)
With Seraphine, the negotiation process becomes very simple.
Seraphine quotes.
Singed was silent, then agreed.
In less than a minute, the two parties finalized the order.
Li Wei officially handed over the pharmaceutical samples and experimental data to Xingjid, and added: "Here are the samples and data. If they are not enough, we can provide additional supplements according to your requirements."
"If you need it, we can also directly ask the team of scientists from Gorask Industries who developed these agents to assist you in your research and development."
"A team of scientists from Gorask Industries?" Singed raised an eyebrow: "Sure enough, Lenata has been defeated."
When he saw that the core secret research information was easily taken out by Li Wei, he vaguely guessed that the all-powerful Mrs. Lenata was probably in danger now.
However, this has nothing to do with him.
As long as it doesn't affect his scientific research, Xinged doesn't care how the sky in Zaun changes.
"It's enough to have samples and information, I don't need help from those mediocre people."
"However." Xingid added in a subtle tone: "I know a little bit about what you leaders do."
"So I have to explain to you in advance - my research has always used people."
“Don’t you ‘leaders’ have any objections?”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Levi, Victor and Seraphine changed slightly.
In fact, both Levi and Victor knew in their hearts that Singed was a scientific lunatic who was keen on human experiments.
According to the leader's values, this guy is definitely worth a street lamp.
However, this guy's united front value is too great.
Not only is it difficult for the leader to attack Singed now, but he also has to cooperate with him.
"But even if we cooperate, we have our own bottom line." Levi responded to Singed's request: "After confirming the safety of the drug through animal experiments, clinical trials can be conducted on human subjects."
"But we must not rashly conduct human experiments without ensuring the safety of the drug."
Like brainwashing, human experimentation is an evil technique that is useful but must not be abused.
If you want to lead the way, you should take the noble and righteous path, instead of practicing "Evil-Repelling Sword Technique" for some short-term gains.
"Oh, sure enough." Xingid was not surprised by Levi's answer.
But he turned to Victor and said, "Victor, you are looking more and more like Heimerdinger now."
"Just look at the friends you have made now and you will know that after so many years, you still don't understand:"
"Superfluous humanitarianism and pedantic ethical rules will only be obstacles on the ladder of scientific progress."
"Teacher" Victor frowned.
He knew that it was impossible for him to convince Singed on this topic.
If possible, he really doesn't want to work with this inhumane teacher again. But now, the leader has no choice.
"No, Mr. Singed."
While Victor was struggling, Levi spoke.
He also knew that it was useless to talk to this scientific madman, so he simply talked about science:
"Even if ethics and morals are not considered, human experiments are not as useful as you say."
"The number of people is limited, reproduction is slow, and breeding time is long. It is basically impossible to find subjects with the same genotype."
"If the genotype is not uniform, it will be impossible to determine whether the therapeutic effect comes from the drug or from innate genetic factors. This will instead cause interference in drug research."
"This" Xingid was a little surprised to hear that Levi could talk about genes with him.
And Levi continued: "Perhaps for some special research, human experiments have more advantages than animal experiments."
"But in this antidote research and development project, I really don't see how humans as experimental subjects have any advantages over the special experimental animals bred by Piltover University."
There was a moment of silence.
Then, Singed said: "The special experimental animals bred by Piltover University are more expensive than Zaun people."
"If we don't use humans, we use experimental animals -"
"You have to pay more."
Levi: "."
"He didn't lie." Seraphine added in his ear with a complex tone.
This girl also realized: "It turns out that monkeys are not as valuable as the Zaun people."
"Okay." Levi sighed.
Add money, add money.
"Anyway, during our cooperation with the leader, we will never allow any human experiments that cannot guarantee the safety of the subjects." Levi requested.
"No problem." Xinged agreed readily.
The two parties reached cooperation smoothly.
And Levi was in no hurry to leave.
Even though he was here, he also wanted to discuss some other business with Xingid:
"Mr. Xinged, I wonder if you can now develop an 'alchemical flame' that can continue to burn when exposed to fire and has extremely high energy density?"
Singed definitely has this ability.
Because Levi knew very well that in the future, it would be with the help of Singed that Noxus would have the kind of alchemical incendiary bomb that was no less powerful than "Li Mei's Barbeque" and could annihilate a city or a country.
"An alchemical flame that can continue to burn?"
"This doesn't sound difficult." Singed thought thoughtfully: "But are you asking me for a weapon of mass destruction?"
"No, what I want is not a weapon. It doesn't need how lethal or toxic it is." Levi explained: "I just need its energy density to be high enough, the production cost to be low enough, and it to be able to burn continuously."
Now Singed understood: "What you want is a kind of 'fuel'?"
"That's right!" Levi nodded.
Although Zaun has not yet succeeded in becoming independent, he is already making proactive plans for Zaun's future industrial development.
The only advantageous industry in Zaun today is the highly polluting alchemical chemistry.
Almost all other high-end industries with high added value are monopolized by Piltover.
Piltover’s technological hegemony will not be so easy to break through for a while;
As for its military strength, the Noxus Empire is behind it, and it is unlikely that it will be captured by the Leader in the short term.
Therefore, in order to gain an advantage in future competition, Zaun must develop its own advantageous industries as soon as possible.
Otherwise, even if Zaun becomes independent, it will still have to continue to make socks and shirts for Piltover, dig coal, mine, steel-making, and provide chemical raw materials and mechanical parts to earn a pitiful amount of hard-earned money.
So Li Wei thought of many ways to "overtake on corners":
"Although the Hex Flying Gate's space teleportation technology is already available, every time the Flying Gate is teleported it consumes a large amount of Hex Gems, and the energy cost is extremely high."
"If the production cost of artificial Hex gems cannot be reduced"
"In the foreseeable future, the Hex Flying Gate is probably only suitable for transporting small-volume, high-value goods. It cannot replace traditional sea and land transportation methods to undertake the freight task of bulk commodities."
"However, traditional maritime and land transportation are still using backward sail-powered and steam-powered vehicles on a large scale."
In fact, Noxus uses "animal-powered" dragon lizards, but this is a special vehicle for military use and will not be discussed.
"The most technologically advanced Piltover uses nothing more than steam-electric hybrid power."
The steam and electricity technology trees in the Twin Cities have been maxed out for a long time.
Victor even invented a "steam-electric" hybrid robot.
On the streets of Piltover, you can see electric vehicles with mature technology everywhere.
However, electric vehicles are limited by battery materials. Not only do they have limited cargo capacity, but they also have to stop charging after a short time. They are simply unable to undertake the task of long-distance transportation.
"Mr. Singed, tell me."
"If there is a kind of liquid, if you add 50 liters in three minutes, you can run 700 kilometers continuously. Isn't this very convenient?"
There seems to be no oil in Runeterra.
But if Singed can invent an alchemical fuel that is more powerful than oil, then Levi will have the confidence to build Zaun into a city of cars after independence, and thus solve Zaun's industrial upgrading problem.
"this."
Although Li Wei had already talked about being "suffocated by his dream", Xingjid clearly had no interest in building a car.
But he is interested in money.
"If I have enough money, I can give it a try," Singed said.
