When Genesis reached a certain stage, Luke would split the results and give them to New Hope Research Institute to verify.
There were now more than two hundred researchers at the institute.
Luke paid them high salaries so that they could work hard as research workers and help complete some of the experiments.
As for those who were restless and wanted to create their own inventions, they would be separated regularly.
Those who had great ambitions but little talent would be fired without any self-awareness. Such "geniuses" would be used to scam other investors.
Luke had worked hard to earn his money, but it wasn't enough to fill this bottomless pit.
Those who were truly talented and had fantastic ideas would set up their own research teams.
When they achieved some results, Luke would keep them or send them to other companies — the latter was the majority.
After all, scientific research was the fastest money-burning profession in the world! And it was f * cking legal.
No matter how rich he was, he couldn't spend all his money.
On this point, the prodigal Tony was no exception.
Spending a few hundred million dollars to shoot a TV series or movie was amazing, but it was nothing when it came to scientific research.
Truly top-notch technology could take up to ten years and hundreds of millions of dollars to burn, and most projects might not yield any results.
Even if there were results, they might not be able to recoup their losses.
It was a good thing that Luke had "learned" Tony's armor technology.
Only a young man like Luke, who upheld his moral bottom line, would keep giving the tycoon benefits.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the tycoon's armor to recoup his losses, not even in a few lifetimes.
On the other hand, New Hope Research Institute had been developing steadily in the past two years, and had gradually become famous.
Although most of the research projects failed, as long as there were real results, the capital wouldn't hesitate to chase after them.
As the number of money-burning projects gradually increased, no one paid attention to the failures, and the few that succeeded made a lot of money for the companies.
With the capital's pursuit, the reputation would grow.
The more famous it was, the more attractive it would be to the researchers.
New Hope Research Institute was now a well-known high-tech R&D company in America, and it wasn't as bad at attracting talents as before.
For example, most of Adrian's group had received an invitation to join a separate research group.
After more than a year, Adrian and the others were no longer interested in being a small shareholder in a transportation company.
In comparison, doing research was more in line with their hobbies.
The research institute was famous. It was located at the edge of Queens, and the salary was high.
Their partner, Phineas, had joined the research institute for some time and had bragged about the conditions there. They had nothing to hesitate about.
So far, Adrian's research team was the second to give Luke a pleasant surprise. The first was, of course, Bent, the developer of "social death weapons."
Every time he saw the results of Adrian's team, Luke could only lament that electrical engineers were indeed monsters.
These guys had actually DIY a 'bald eagle' flight suit with some scrap Chitauri parts.
Although the armor's defense was almost non-existent, its flexibility was so-so, and its stability was even worse, it was still a set of armor.
Just like Ivan's DIY Mourning Whip War Armor, the beggar-like White-headed Eagle War Armor could not hide the brilliance of his ideas.
This was because the defense type, flexibility, and stability could all be slowly improved. To be able to come up with this main frame was a true talent.
If the warframe development was calculated on a scale of 100, Tony's level would be 120 of the overflow state, and the extra 20 would be the bonus of inspiration, power, and money.
Ivan's level was 80 +, which could be considered excellent.
Adrian's team, on the other hand, only had a level of 60 +, which was above the passing line.
But Tony wasn't someone that a normal person could compare to.
The role he played on his own couldn't be replaced by all the researchers in Stark Industries.
Similarly, Adrian's team couldn't be replaced by any one of Stark Industries' research departments, since most departments couldn't even reach the passing line of 60.
The negative example was Roxon Corporation, which had developed the Death Warrior technology.
Didn't Roxon Corporation want to upgrade the Death Warrior to the level of the Mark I armor? They wanted to, but they couldn't.
If they poached Adrian's team, they would be able to build a batch of experimental models with the abundant Chitauri parts.
Using that as a starting point, it wouldn't be impossible to develop a real warframe.
After all, a 60-point warframe was indeed inferior to Tony's and Ivan's technology, but it would be easy to use it in an asymmetric war.
However, it was a universal rule to look at qualifications and diplomas.
Adrian's team was a bunch of ordinary electrical engineers who hadn't made a name for themselves before. Their education was also very ordinary, and big companies wouldn't even look at them.
Now that they were Luke's subordinates, no one could steal this team away.
Luke's former public relations manager, Bobby Max, who had Mental Communication abilities, came to the research institute regularly to evaluate the members.
Bobby worked at Titanium Phone Company's headquarters next door, and it was easy for him to do monthly evaluations.
Of course, he never showed up at the research institute, and his schedule for entering the research institute was the same as Luke's visit to the phone company's headquarters.
He also entered the secret cubicle alone for the evaluation.
The administrative staff of the research institute in the next room had no idea what was going on. They asked the employees the questions on the printed paper, and Bobby secretly observed.
In fact, thanks to Bobby's efforts, the research institute had kicked out at least a hundred problematic employees.
With these "systematic" subordinates, Luke could leisurely play for half a year and enjoy the convenience of a capitalist.
As a capitalist, he naturally had to hand over the basic work that he could to his employees and the "space seclusion" artificial intelligence.
He wasn't afraid of anyone playing tricks on the research institute.
The research institute was a private company that he had 100% control over. Nobody could interfere with its management, and nobody could mess with it in the open.
The darker it was, the better. It would be best if he entered with a big red name.
It might not be easy for Luke to solve the problem, but wouldn't it be easy to deal with the people who created it?
He could also farm experience and credit points in the meantime. It was perfect.
That was probably how it worked in terms of technology.
In terms of team building, the biggest achievement in the past six months was the addition of a top-notch support personnel.
This person was Richard Gere, the Invisible Man, who had gone into hiding in Brazil.
Luke was stunned for a moment when he heard the name for the first time.
But while the name was a little suggestive, Richard himself was indeed a top-notch support talent.
He was 23 years old, a white male, and his appearance could be summarized simply as a geek.
His looks, speech, and clothes were all ordinary. The only good thing about him was that he was relatively thin, and didn't have to worry about his weight like most geeks.
Luke gave the guy half a year off, then took Richard out of the luxurious room in a five-star hotel in Rio and woke him up on a dark, uninhabited beach.
