Mechanical Flesh

After completing the transaction, Qi Yuan earned the first pot of gold in his life, finally laying a solid foundation for his shelter life.

After dealing with the Berserker, Qi Yuan quickly put his energy into the project application. If he wants to gain a firm foothold in the shelter as a researcher, the research results are the most important.

However, applying for a research project is not an easy task. Although Seraphim has stored a lot of information, some things are not suitable for applying for a project.

Ordinary projects can't apply for too much funding, and can't get too many academic points. For Qi Yuan, it's just a waste of time.

Research projects that are too difficult will waste too much time. Qi Yuan has not forgotten his original intention of entering the Black Steel Shelter. He just wants to gain a firm foothold and complete the sign-in. Stay here forever.

Fortunately, there are two fourth-level researchers who can communicate here.

After an in-depth exchange with Zheng Yan, Qi Yuan finally selected the first research project - an energy module that strengthens energy activity.

This is a third-order project, and the research project has a certain depth. The main reason is that it requires constant trial and error and consumes a lot of energy cores. But for Qi Yuan who has energy control and data centers, these difficulties are not a problem at all. Coupled with the existence of Seraphim, Qi Yuan is sure that in about a month, he will get the detailed data of the energy module and complete the research of the entire project.

When my laboratory completes a few research projects and completely dispels other people's doubts, I will be able to gain a firm foothold in the laboratory. If I can take advantage of the momentum and be promoted to a third-level researcher, I may be able to start follow-up actions.

Today, although I have become a second-level researcher and obtained a layer of amulet, it is almost impossible to complete the sign-in.

In the shelter, there is a strict hierarchy, there is not enough status, and many places are simply impossible to set foot on. The locations of those check-in points are not accessible to the current self.

After becoming a third-level researcher, I have climbed to the upper level of the pyramid of the Black Steel Shelter. Naturally, many people will attach to it, and those places that were not allowed to set foot in the first place will no longer be out of reach.

After Qi Yuan spent two days writing the project application, he handed the application to Tan Qiu himself.

The lingering rhyme of Ai Xin's personal comment is still there, and with Tan Qiu's help, Qi Yuan originally thought that he would be able to pass the application soon, but unexpectedly, Tan Qiu brought bad news on the third day.

"The project application was rejected?" Qi Yuan looked at Tan Qiu in surprise.

Tan Qiu's face was also a little ugly, and this result was somewhat beyond her expectations.

"Feng Qian's revenge came faster than I expected." Tan Qiu said slowly.

"The laboratory has a special project approval team. Your project could have been approved, but on the second day after you submitted the project application, another third-level researcher submitted a very similar research project application."

"The project approval team has strict regulations. The same type of research project is not allowed to be approved repeatedly. If two people apply for the same type of project at the same time, they will be sorted according to the researcher's level, and the project application of a high-level researcher will be given priority. "

"This was originally the project team's intention to avoid involution in the laboratory.

Unexpectedly, the rules formulated will be used by Feng Qian and become a means against you! "

Qi Yuan frowned slightly. With Feng Qian's status, if he was willing to lower his body to target a second-level researcher, there were indeed various ways to play with the rules.

Feng Gan has been cultivating in the Black Steel Shelter for many years, and his roots have already been deeply rooted. It is really difficult for him to deal with some methods.

"How many research projects can a third-level researcher apply for at the same time?" Qi Yuan asked.

"There are no strict restrictions." Tan Qiu said.

"For projects above the fourth level, each third-level researcher can apply for up to two at the same time, and for projects below the fourth level, there are no strict restrictions. As long as it is not too much, the project review team will not embarrass a third-level researcher. Researcher's project application."

A faint light flashed in Qi Yuan's eyes.

"That is to say, no matter what research project I apply for, I can use the same means to stop it from being sealed?"

Tan Qiu nodded. Feng Qian, as a fourth-level researcher, had such great energy in the heavily hierarchical shelter.

"The method of sealing the stem belongs to Yangmou. If you don't have a better way, you can come to my laboratory. When you advance to the third-tier researcher, these methods of sealing the stem will no longer be able to deal with you." Tan Qiu said.

Qi Yuan pondered, and going to Tanqiu's laboratory was indeed a solution, but this kind of protection was definitely not free, after all, Tanqiu had always wanted to use herself as an experimental material.

"Is there any other solution?" Qi Yuan asked.

Tan Qiu glanced at Qi Yuan with a half-smile, as if he had read his mind.

"If you can find someone to sponsor your research project and don't let the laboratory pay for it, even if a fourth-level researcher applies for the same project as you, the project provincial approval team will give priority to your project application."

Qi Yuan shrugged. Research that can grab a lot of academic points usually requires a lot of experimental materials. The sponsorship fee is not something that ordinary people can support. Although there are such rich people in the Black Steel Shelter, they obviously don't At the risk of offending Feng Gan and Ke Shoulin to help himself.

However, this situation is not impossible to solve. The successful sale of the Berserker brought in enough resources to support him to complete several Tier 3 projects. Even without sponsorship and funding from the laboratory, he could still make the laboratory operate. It's just that the price of breaking the game is a bit expensive.

However, Qi Yuan is not the kind of person who can only be beaten passively. Since Feng Qian made another attack regardless of his status, Qi Yuan is also going to let him taste the taste of being backlashed by power.

"Since Feng Gan is willing to shamelessly deal with a newcomer like me, then I'll play with him!"

Hearing this, Tan Qiu asked in surprise, "You want to deal with Feng Qian again?"

Although Feng Qian suffered a disadvantage in the Berserker incident, it does not mean that he is easy to deal with. This old fox can get to where he is today without lack of means and scheming. Although Qi Yuan is a second-level researcher, he The gap between him and Feng Qian is still too large, and he is not an opponent of the same magnitude at all.

"What I want to deal with is a third-order person who doesn't want to die!" Qi Yuan grinned, showing his white teeth.

"Since a third-level researcher dares to help Feng Qian suppress me at the expense of his reputation, he must be Feng Qian's most loyal supporter. Although I can't influence Feng Qian yet, I still have no problem dealing with a third-level researcher!"

"What other research projects are under the name of this third-level researcher?" Qi Yuan asked.

Tan Qiu heard the words and quickly guessed Qi Yuan's intentions.

"You want to maliciously compete with this third-level researcher?" Tan Qiu asked.

Although a third-level researcher can have an independent laboratory for free forever, the experimental results are still the basis for a researcher to establish himself in the laboratory, so each third-level researcher will have several research projects under his name.

Most of these research projects are reported through the laboratory and received funding support from the laboratory, so they also need to be supervised by the laboratory. Once there is no result for a long time, or other people come up with the same project results, then Subsequent funding will be stopped for experimental projects.

Although it often happens that projects are forced to be suspended, most of them are research projects that have fallen into a dead end, or have been proven to be wrong, and it is rare for others to come up with experimental results first.

If a third-level researcher's research project is preempted by a second-level researcher and forced to suspend the project research, it is an absolute shame that cannot be washed away.

Qi Yuan did not hide his purpose, and admitted his intention.

"If he can grab my project, I can naturally grab his project too. This is called reciprocity!"

"Although the other party can suppress you at all costs, I don't recommend you to do so!" Tan Qiu said.

"The research of each project requires a lot of manpower and material resources, so the laboratory will prohibit the appearance of involution in the project review. If you do this, it is an obvious vicious competition. Even if you can win the competition, It will also lose the reputation that Ai Xin brought to you, which is not worth it."

"He is a Tier 3 researcher. He has been working in the laboratory for many years, and he has the support of Feng Gan behind him, so even if his methods are somewhat disgraceful, they will not have a substantial impact on him."

"But you are different. Your foundation is too shallow. Your introverted approach will only bring you endless troubles. Once your reputation is rotten, even if you can't get rid of it, you won't be able to get out of the experiment in the future." The office applied for the support of the project funding!"

Qi Yuan smiled slightly.

"If I take the initiative to introvert, of course I will ruin my reputation, but if I am forced to resist helplessly, will the situation be different?"

"It's not easy to turn the initiative into a forced and helpless resistance. Be careful playing with fire and setting yourself on fire!" Tan Qiu reminded.

"A project application was taken away by someone, I endured it, but it didn't change the other party's hand, they intensified, and continued to take away my second, and even the third project, did I become the one who was taken away? You are oppressed by others, you are cornered, you poor wretch with no way out!" Qi Yuan said with a smile.

"Do you want to continue to apply for research projects and lure Feng Gan to continue to take action?" Tan Qiu asked with some surprise.

Research projects in the laboratory are basically a process of discovering problems and then trying to solve them. For most researchers, finding problems and finding a suitable research project is not an easy task.

The level of academic repression that takes away research projects exists in every laboratory. Tan Qiu has also seen several low-level researchers being robbed of experimental projects by the same means. What happened to Qi Yuan, Feng Dry has been done.

For most second-level researchers, it is not easy to find a suitable project. If the research project is snatched away, it will have a great impact on them, and many people will even be devastated because of it.

Although Tan Qiu was not worried that Qi Yuan would be devastated because of this, frustration was inevitable, but she also did not expect that Qi Yuan would use this method of killing one thousand enemies and self-defeating eight hundred to fight back.

It is already a very surprising thing to think of a suitable research project and apply for it within two days. It is hard for Tan Qiu to believe that Qi Yuan can find more suitable experimental projects in a short period of time.

"Help me check the project under the other party's name. I will prepare the next project application immediately. If he continues to use this method to disgust me, I will become a poor person who is cornered!"

"I think other people will definitely forgive a poor bastard who has nowhere to go, and is forced to fight back in desperation!"

Seeing that Qi Yuan had made up his mind, Tan Qiu stopped persuading him. If Qi Yuan could really turn himself into a poor wretch who was forced by academic oppression to have no way out, even if he did some outrageous things in the future, he would be rewarded by others. Maximum tolerance.

Once Qi Yuan really used this method to fight back, he only needed to succeed once to make the other party lose both his face and face.

A third-level researcher used academic bullying methods to bully a newly promoted second-level researcher. He was aggressive and did not leave a way out for him. The newcomer fell into a dead end and was forced to stand up to resist. In the end, he stole your home with his backhand.

Once this kind of thing happens, even if the means of stealing the house are a bit outrageous, they will not be blamed in any way. The onlookers will only applaud, and the third-level researcher who actively exerts pressure will be nailed to the pillar of shame and completely labeled as a person with no strength. The label of an idiot who only pretends to be aggressive!

Tan Qiu took a deep look at Qi Yuan. If Qi Yuan's plan is successful, his counterattack will completely ruin the reputation of a third-level researcher. He will not use this method to deal with Qi Yuan again.

However, there is a great deal of uncertainty in doing so.

The most difficult part is whether Qi Yuan can find a suitable research project and go to the project review team to apply for the project.

If the project is carried out indiscriminately, the other party may not necessarily enter the pit, and the project review team will directly reject the project application.

Another uncertainty is whether Qi Yuan can win in the subsequent academic competition.

If he wins, he will naturally be able to break through the suppression of Feng Qian. If he loses, he may end up with no talent.

Although the Berserkers have brought huge returns, the consumption of project research is also a huge figure. The annual expenditure of the biological and mechanical research laboratory is not even much worse than that of the war department.

"Are you sure you want to use this method to fight back?" Tan Qiu wanted to confirm for the last time.

"Of course!" Qi Yuan said in an affirmative tone.

"I want to let everyone know through this incident that bullying me must pay a price! Only in this way can we deter those enemies with evil intentions!"

Seeing that Qi Yuan had made up his mind, Tan Qiu stopped persuading him, but said lightly:

"Before dark, Su Li will send you the other party's detailed information."

Qi Yuan nodded, then turned and left, and returned to his independent laboratory, preparing to sort out several suitable items from the information stored by Seraphim for the second declaration.

Because there is no assistant researcher, the laboratory seems empty, but for Qi Yuan, it doesn't make much difference whether he has an assistant or not. Not only can he stay clean by himself, but he can also avoid being leaked by the assistant researcher.

With Feng Qian's identity and status, it was easy to buy a few assistant researchers. Tan Qiu, who was a fourth-level researcher, was also able to be recruited. A second-level researcher who had no footsteps by himself could not prevent this kind of thing from happening at all.

As for Seraphim, although he doesn't have to worry too much about the consequences of its exposure as a second-level researcher, if he can continue to hide, it's better than being exposed to others.
