"What? I'm the new team leader! That crystallized medicine clearly failed! "
Feng Lin was stunned. He had an extremely flattered look on his face as though it was real.
Everyone in the R&D department stared at this scene with their mouths agape in shock.
A newcomer who had only been on the job for a few days had first become a core member of the research department, and now he was promoted to team leader. This speed of promotion was simply beyond imagination.
Feng Lin's surprised voice spoke out their thoughts.
"It's just a failed drug experiment. Is it really necessary to pay so much attention to it?"
"Directly promoting him to captain, isn't this too big of a leap!"
"Team Leader Aike will probably be very unhappy!"
…
Those people began to whisper among themselves, not understanding Frank's actions.
Not only them, Aike's countenance was as gloomy as ice as he stared at Feng Lin.
He was originally a harsh and cold person. It was only because he was brainwashed by Feng Lin's mental hypnosis that his attitude became better.
But now, Feng Lin's domineering rise had already threatened his status and benefits. This was something that no amount of hypnosis could change.
His favorable impression of Feng Lin vanished completely, replaced by a strong sense of disgust.
Feng Lin's eyes moved. He sharply sensed this, but he didn't care.
Although Frank's words seemed to be very surprising, wasn't this what he was trying to achieve?
By revealing his capabilities, he would gain the attention of Manager Frank and from there, he would be able to probe deeper into the core secrets of the Giant Pharmaceutical Company.
If I can really become the new team leader, I should be able to do it, right?
As for Aike's hostility, he didn't care at all. In the future, he wouldn't be Aike's subordinate anymore. He wouldn't need to be restrained by Aike, so he wouldn't care about Aike's attitude.
Seeing the confusion on Feng Lin's face, Frank didn't suspect anything. He felt that this was normal.
Anyone would be surprised if a newcomer was suddenly supported to the position of team leader.
Manager Frank smiled and patted Feng Lin's shoulder. "Although this crystallization medicine failed, you're already on the path to success. Your train of thought is completely correct. After all, this was only the first experiment, and it was able to significantly reduce the side effects of the drug. The effect was remarkable! Therefore, I hereby appoint you as the new team leader. Focus all your efforts on breaking through this Crystallized Medicine Creation Technique! "
He had an expression that said 'I think very highly of you' and entrusted Feng Lin with a heavy responsibility.
Feng Lin revealed a pleasantly surprised expression and pretended to be humble. "Manager, thank you for your kindness! I just happened to realize it by accident! "
"Don't be modest. Excessive modesty is arrogance!" Frank shook his head.
Seeing that he said this, Feng Lin didn't decline anymore. If not, it would arouse the other party's suspicion.
He nodded in agreement and asked with a puzzled expression, "Since I've become the team leader, what kind of gene potion will I be researching? Every genetic potion had a different crystallization method. Team Leader Aike should be in charge of researching genetic potions for ordinary people to drink. "
"I knew you would ask that! Don't worry, since you are the group leader, we can tell you some of the core secrets of our Giant Pharmaceutical Company! "Frank smiled, feeling very satisfied that Feng Lin agreed.
Seeing that there were still people watching, he said lightly, "All of you can leave!"
The researchers scattered in all directions.
After that, Frank glanced at Feng Lin and said calmly, "Come with me!"
Feng Lin followed after him.
Aike stood at the back and gritted his teeth, but without the supervisor's permission, he didn't dare to follow.
After walking out of the R&D department, the two of them walked toward the interior of the Giant Pharmaceutical Company. After passing through three layers of tightly guarded metal doors, an escalator appeared before their eyes, leading deep underground.
Looking at Feng Lin's shocked expression, Frank shrugged. "There are many secrets in the Giant Pharmaceutical Company. There would always be some special methods, right?"
Feng Lin fell silent.
At this moment, Frank's expression turned solemn, becoming incomparably heavy.
"Feng Lin, from now on, you are the leader of the research team. You are a core member of our Giant Pharmaceutical Company! However, our Giant Pharmaceutical Company is like a tall tree that attracts the wind. There are already some criminals on Mars who want to pry into our company's secrets. As a member, you must not divulge any information or you should be very clear of the consequences! "He spoke in a meaningful tone, filled with warning as he stared at Feng Lin's reaction.
Feng Lin's heart trembled. He was clear that this was a test.
It seemed like the secrets he was about to come into contact with weren't ordinary. That was why this was a test.
If he didn't answer well and caused Frank to be on guard, the matter would most probably fall through.
The criminals they were talking about were most probably the Mars Revolutionary Army.
These thoughts flashed through his mind, yet there was nothing strange on Feng Lin's face. He calmly replied, "That's only natural! Since I've signed a contract with the company, I naturally have to protect the company's interests! "
Frank nodded when he heard this.
The escalator only led underground. Its speed was extremely fast, and the amount of time it took was unimaginable. It took a full hour.
Feng Lin silently felt shock in his heart. After such a long period of time, most probably, they had already reached the depths of Mars' core.
The truth was as he expected.
Although the escalator had a very strong sealing ability, he could still clearly feel the temperature of the surroundings gradually rising.
A rumbling sound rang out.
The escalator finally came to a halt.
"Next, you will see an incomparably grand undertaking. This is also the true secret of our Giant Pharmaceutical Company. You have to open your eyes wide!" Frank's earlier calmness was gone. His voice was filled with a hint of fanaticism.
Feng Lin nodded and didn't say anything. A strong sense of curiosity involuntarily rose in his heart.
The door of the escalator opened. He followed Frank and entered. Before his eyes was a vast space. Beneath his feet was a transparent alloy material, and he could see a gigantic fireball floating within. That was the core of Mars.
Magma seethed as heat waves soared into the sky. The boiling hot air brought with it the smell of sulfur and metal, filling the space within the core.
Luckily, the space he was in was completely sealed, blocking the poisonous hot air outside.
On the smooth metal floor, intelligent robots walked at the side. There were all sorts of high-tech instruments erected in the surroundings, exuding a sense of technology. This was clearly an underground secret base established in the core of Mars.
Feng Lin lowered his head and glanced over. Through the transparent alloy, he could see many thick pillars extending into the core, absorbing the heat energy from the core. It was extremely unimaginable.
Manager Frank was long used to such a scene. He continued walking forward.
A huge door opened.
Feng Lin followed behind him and entered a brand new space.
To his surprise, he saw countless glass cabins hanging in the surroundings. They were as dense as a forest, and there were actually tens of thousands of them. It was too much for his eyes to take in.
Many naked figures floated within the red liquid. They were all muscular men with slender figures and strong muscles. They exuded a sense of strength and beauty.
Could it be that these were all test subjects?
There were so many of them. It was simply hair-raising.
…
But after taking a closer look, Feng Lin felt that it didn't seem like it. These people had strong bones and were in perfect condition. Their vitality was also very strong, completely different from those lab rats.
Feng Lin felt puzzled.
There were so many human bodies. Where did the Giant Pharmaceutical Company get them from?
This Giant Pharmaceutical Company was truly strange in every aspect. This caused Feng Lin to feel more and more trepidation in his heart.
Other than shock, there were no other emotions on his face. He didn't want to reveal his thoughts.
Frank had been secretly observing Feng Lin's expression. When he saw that Feng Lin didn't have any strange expressions, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
Feng Lin pretended to be a research maniac. He rushed over and observed them carefully. His gaze was incomparably fervent, but his heart gradually turned cold.
Because he discovered that these human bodies were almost identical. Their height was about 1.98 meters, and the difference in height was less than a centimeter. It was like they were carved from the same mold.
Upon discovering this, Feng Lin's heart trembled. He observed more carefully and discovered that these human bodies were all of the same height and length. Their skin was completely white, and they had a head of golden hair that was as resplendent as the sun.
Their faces could be seen from their messy hair. They had golden hair, blue eyes, and deep facial features. Their bodies were as sturdy as the sun, and they were like stone sculptures from ancient Greece.
These were all clones!
The conjecture in Feng Lin's heart was completely verified. He felt that his vision was shrouded in a dense fog as boundless trepidation rose in his heart.
What was this underground laboratory doing exactly?
A large-scale human cloning laboratory?
Or could it be …
