Mechanical Flesh

"How can this be!"

With Feng Qian's self-cultivation, Rao was still a little gaffe when he saw the paper signed by Qi Yuan independently.

Qi Yuan actually snatched an item from Xiao Yu again!

If it's other items, it's fine, the basic activation of this energy weapon is a fourth-level item, why should Qi Yuan snatch it away!

More importantly, this project is related to whether Xiao Yu and Zhong Yunhai can join the project team!

The two had clearly completed the experiment, but Qi Yuan submitted the paper beforehand.

This sudden turn made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Feng Gan really wanted to loudly accuse Qi Yuan of plagiarizing Xiao Yu's thesis, because a second-level researcher simply cannot complete a project of this level.

But after seeing the materials used in Qi Yuan's experiment, he had no choice but to swallow all these reprimands back to his stomach.

Xiao Yu's research project used a piece of alienated energy body obtained from the laboratory, while Qi Yuan used a whole alienated energy weapon.

The two are not on the same level at all!

Although Feng Qian did not believe that Qi Yuan was qualified to conduct research on the Dance of Death, just at the entrance of the laboratory, Fu Qingqing made it clear that Qi Yuan helped her complete the activation of the Dance of Death.

All of this gave Feng Gan an absurd illusion. It was obviously an impossible thing, but everything around him proved to himself that this thing was true!

He Shou, who noticed the abnormality, also took a copy of "Hope", and quickly found the reason for Feng Qian's gaffe.

While shocked that Qi Yuan was able to snatch Xiao Yu's project, he also let out a long sigh of relief. Qi Yuan's divine assist was enough to keep Zhong Yunhai and Xiao Yu out of the list.

After a long time, Feng Gan put down the "Hope" with an ugly face.

"Qi Yuan is only a second-level researcher and a third-level ability user. He simply does not have the strength to complete this project independently."

"A year ago, Xiao Yu applied for this project through the project team. Although Qi Yuan published the paper first, Xiao Yu has already presented the experimental results. Qi Yuan's behavior is malicious competition, and the laboratory should come forward. stop!"

Feng Gan didn't finish his sentence,

Tan Qiu threw the "Hope" in his hand heavily on the silver-white metal conference table, and with a crack, interrupted Feng Gan unceremoniously.

"As a fourth-level researcher, it's not appropriate to use this kind of baseless accusation to discuss a second-level researcher."

Tan Qiu looked at Feng Qian, not hiding the sarcasm in his eyes.

"Since you doubt Qi Yuan, you have to give Qi Yuan a chance to explain. I suggest calling Qi Yuan over and let him explain your doubts face to face!"

Feng Gan's eyes turned cold. As a fourth-level researcher, confronting a second-level researcher was originally an insult, but now he doesn't take it seriously, and even he can't refuse it directly.

"I also agree to let Qi Yuan come and explain in person!" He Shou said.

Although Tan Qiu was also a competitor for the chief position, He Shou and Tan Qiu stood on the same front without hesitation when it came to suppressing Feng Gan.

Cao Yansheng also nodded, he also wanted to meet this newcomer who had recently gained fame in the laboratory.

Although Feng Gan wanted to stop it, Cao Yansheng's nod made the matter final.

Soon, Qi Yuan was called over.

Qi Yuan walked into the meeting room, and was immediately locked on by the eyes of the four.

After a brief greeting, Tan Qiu picked up a copy of "Hope" with a smile, turned to the page where Qi Yuan published the paper, and asked:

"We just got the latest issue of "Hope", and found this paper called "Basic Activation of Energy Weapons" on it, and your independent signature is behind it. We want to confirm whether this paper was published by you of?"

Qi Yuan glanced at Feng Gan, whose face was as heavy as water, and quickly guessed the purpose of calling him over.

"It's a paper that I signed independently!"

Tan Qiu nodded.

"Researcher Feng Qian has some questions about your recent papers. I need to ask you personally. You must answer truthfully!"

Qi Yuan looked at Feng Qian, and asked calmly: "I don't know Researcher Feng Qian, what do you want to know?"

Feng Qian and Qi Yuan looked at each other, and said expressionlessly: "The three papers you published recently are all projects that Xiao Yu has already applied for. Who ordered you to do this?"

Regarding Xiao Yu's snatching of the project application, Feng Gan refused to mention it, pointing directly at Qi Yuan's fault.

Facing Feng Gan's interrogation, Qi Yuan showed no fear.

"No one instigated, this is a personal grievance between me and Xiao Yu!"

In order to express the indignation in his heart, Qi Yuan deliberately puts more emphasis on the word "resentment".

"In other words, you admit that you used malicious competition to snatch Xiao Yu's research project?" Feng Gan said in a serious tone.

"Malicious competition?" Qi Yuan suddenly raised his tone, and his eyes became angry.

"Excuse me, Researcher Feng Qian, what do you mean by malicious competition?"

"I just want to do the experiment quietly, I don't want to fight for anything, why do you label me a malicious competition?"

"There are so many research projects, why did you choose the project that Xiao Yu applied for? All of these projects have been approved by the project review team. Xiao Yu has invested a lot of time and the laboratory has also invested a lot of money. You do this , causing Xiao Yu and the laboratory to suffer serious losses at the same time, how dare you deny that this is malicious competition!" Feng Qian scolded harshly.

"What loss did I cause the lab?" Qi Yuan said aggrievedly.

"The initial investment in these projects is the loss of the laboratory!" Feng Qian said.

"But, wasn't Xiao Yu responsible for these losses?" Qi Yuan asked rhetorically.

"My research on these projects was paid out of my own pocket, and I did not apply for a penny of grants from the laboratory."

"On the contrary, it is Xiao Yu. He has been applying for the project for so long and has received a lot of funding from the laboratory, but he has not completed the experiment for a long time. If I hadn't completed the project first, the laboratory would definitely continue to allocate funds to him. , Didn’t I save the loss for the lab by doing this?”

It was the first time for Qi Yuan to talk about it, but Feng Gan almost didn't bring it up.

Since entering the laboratory, Fengqian has been going smoothly. When did he have this kind of language confrontation with other people.

Obviously you robbed Xiao Yu's project, but it turned out that you helped the lab recover the losses?

You are still unreasonable!

It's also Xiao Yu's own failure to live up to expectations. As long as Xiao Yu can live up to it, he won't be so passive.

"You are the culprit for Xiao Yu's waste!" Feng Gan scolded.

"For the research of these several projects, Xiao Yu has already achieved obvious results. Taking this fourth-level project as an example, they completed the research of the entire project yesterday. If you don't snatch these three projects, these wastes will not be lost." will happen!"

"Why not?" Qi Yuan asked back.

"I am a second-level researcher, and I can complete the project in less than a month. Xiao Yu, a third-level researcher, spent more than half a year to complete the project. Is he not good enough? Or is he deliberately delaying the progress and defrauding the lab?" appropriation?"

He really couldn't explain this. As a third-level researcher, Xiao Yu's progress in the experiment was much slower than that of a second-level researcher. This was not because Xiao Yu was too weak, but because Qi Yuan was too strong.

Not to mention the second-level researchers, even those third-level researchers in the laboratory, few of them can complete these projects so quickly.

However, it is obviously inappropriate to praise Qi Yuan's research strength now.

After slightly excluding the only correct answer, there are only two remaining answers.

Yi Yi Xiao Yu's technology is limited, and Er Xiao Yu is deliberately defrauding funds.

But Feng Qian couldn't say these two answers.

After a brief silence, Feng Qian pretended not to hear Qi Yuan's question, and said directly:

"Regardless of Xiao Yu's research progress, you should not snatch the project under his name!"

Seeing that Feng Qian started playing rogue, Qi Yuan asked back with an aggrieved expression: "Then what project should I research?"

"I applied for a research project, and Xiao Yu snatched one for me. He made it clear that I would not be allowed to study other projects. Apart from studying Xiao Yu's project, I really can't think of any other way."

"Everyone has come step by step from the assistant. It should be very clear how difficult it is for a second-level researcher to find a suitable project, but Xiao Yu used the authority of the third-level researcher to shamelessly suppress me. If you It's me, what would you do?"

Qi Yuan stared at Feng Gan, and said word by word:

"Or, go and persuade Xiao Yu to study his own project carefully and stop robbing my project application!"

Feng Qian looked at Qi Yuan coldly, if eyes could kill, Qi Yuan would have been hacked to pieces.

"I have warned him that he will not study the same project as you in the future!" Feng Qian said.

"But there is one thing, do you need to explain it to us?"

Feng Gan picked up "Hope" and turned it to the page where Qi Yuan published the paper, and spread it out on the conference table.

"How did you complete this project?"

Qi Yuan shrugged his shoulders, facing Feng Qian's doubts, he didn't hesitate at all, the research committee passed the review of the papers, and was published in "Hope", so why do you still need you to talk nonsense here?

"Isn't it written clearly in the paper?" Qi Yuan said.

"Your level three strength shouldn't be enough to support you to complete this project?" Feng Qian said.

"Why can't the third-level strength complete the fourth-level research project?" Qi Yuan asked in surprise.

"Who made this rule?"

"How do I remember that when you were in the third level, you also completed the fourth level project. Did anyone question you at that time?"

Feng Qian took a deep breath and said slowly:

"You have to think about it carefully. Academic fraud is a very bad behavior. Once it is found out, you will be deprived of your researcher status!"

"Really?" Qi Yuan laughed.

"Then why Tang Hong wasn't deprived of his research status? He plagiarized my Berserker, and even shamelessly developed a press conference. Why doesn't he need to pay any price for his academic fraud?"

Feng Qian made a slip of the tongue again. It was only at this moment that he realized that Qi Yuan at this time had no scruples at all, unlike when he just entered the laboratory, he had all kinds of scruples and proceeded cautiously.

Watching the confrontation between the two men, Cao Yansheng shook his head lightly, and finally opened his mouth to relieve Feng Gan.

"Okay, since Qi Yuan's thesis can pass the review of the academic committee and appear in this issue of "Hope", there is no need to doubt the authenticity of the thesis."

After Cao Yansheng finished speaking, he glanced at Feng Gan.

"What else do you want to ask?"

Feng Gan was silent for a few seconds, then slowly said: "Not anymore."

Cao Yansheng nodded, and then looked at Qi Yuan gently.

"I have carefully read your first paper. Ai Xin is very pertinent to your evaluation. That perfect energy matrix has opened a new door for all energy matrix researchers."

"Thank you!" Qi Yuan said.

From the attitudes of several people, Qi Yuan knew that among the several people present, Cao Yansheng should have the highest status, and getting this person's approval meant that Feng Qian would never play tricks on him again.

"Xiao Yu took away your three project applications, and you also took away his three research projects. This grievance is over, how about it?"

"No problem." Qi Yuan nodded.

"That's good! With your talent, it would be a waste to waste your energy on these intrigues." Cao Yansheng said.

"From now on, if anyone else dares to play with the rules and suppress you academically, you can come to me directly and I will help you deal with him!"

"Thank you!" Qi Yuan said sincerely again.

Cao Yansheng's promise is more deterrent than Tan Qiu's protection. From this moment on, neither Xiao Yu nor Feng Gan can continue to suppress themselves.

"You don't need to thank me." Cao Yansheng shook his head.

"It's because of our negligence in work that people like Tang Hong and Xiao Yu are so unscrupulous."

"Don't worry, Tang Hong and Xiao Yu will pay for what they did!"

Qi Yuan raised his brows, as if he didn't expect Cao Yansheng to settle his old accounts.

But soon, Qi Yuan realized that Cao Yansheng probably wanted to use this opportunity to clean up the lab's many years of abuse.

Cao Yansheng looked at Qi Yuan carefully, and said with a smile: "Your current strength is still a little weak. After you go back, hurry up to improve your strength. If you can advance to the fourth level as soon as possible, I can make an exception for you and let you join to the chief research project."

Feng Gan's face turned ashen, the things he fought so hard for for others were just put in front of Qi Yuan!

He Shou also looked at Cao Yansheng in surprise. There are so many third-level researchers in the laboratory, but very few can get Cao Yansheng's approval. Qi Yuan, a second-level researcher, can get Cao Yansheng's preference, which makes him feel a little incredible.

Cao Yansheng is not only old in qualifications, strong in technology, but also has a good eye for people. Almost all of the researchers whom he named and praised have been promoted to fourth-level researchers.

Cao Yansheng's expectation from Qi Yuan, to a certain extent, means that Qi Yuan is very likely to become a fourth-level researcher in the future.

After Qi Yuan left, Cao Yansheng slowly restrained the smile on his face, and said seriously:

"Starting today, Tang Hong will be downgraded from a second-level researcher to a first-level researcher, and he will not be allowed to be promoted within one year."

"Xiao Yu is downgraded from a third-level researcher to a second-level researcher, and he is not allowed to be promoted within one year."

Cao Yansheng looked at Feng Gan and said, "Do you have any objections to this punishment?"

Feng Qian lowered his eyelids and said slowly, "No."

Cao Yansheng nodded, and then continued: "Remember, the identity of the fourth-level researcher is an honor given to you by the laboratory. Don't use this honor to bully other people. This kind of practice will only shame the honor!"
