What was the reason?
What was going on?
Why did so many outstanding scientists want to leave?
"100% Science Lab"!
This magical software developed by Xing Hai Technologies made many scientists in the M nation choose to vote with their feet.
In fact!
Outstanding scientists from various countries came to the M nation to work, develop, and even settle down, not to pursue the so-called dream of the M nation, nor to make great contributions to the M nation.
It was simply because the M nation had the best scientific research conditions in the world.
The M nation's laboratories, scientific research equipment, academic environment, and other hardware could not be compared to other countries.
As the saying goes, "people strive for higher places, water flows to lower places." If these scientists wanted to improve their professional level and produce some top-notch scientific research results, they had no choice but to come to the M nation.
A big dragon could not be bred in shallow waters. Their own country's scientific research infrastructure was not good enough. There was no stage and opportunity to display their talents. If they did not go to the M nation or Z nation, where else could they go?
Therefore, there was also a "Matthew effect" in the scientific community. The good got better, and the weak got weaker.
But the emergence of one thing completely changed the status quo of this polarization.
"100% Science Lab."
Outstanding scientists from Britain, Germany, France, Italy, and other countries entered this game and experienced "cloud scientific research" for a few months.
They all had shocking and delightful discoveries.
Useful.
This game was really useful.
All the academic results made in this game had a probability of more than 99% of becoming effective results in reality.
Examples of successful extraction of these scientific research results could be found everywhere:
For example, a British chip company realized a brand new chip architecture in "Science Lab." Not only did it save energy, but it also had higher performance. It was then "extracted" into reality and found that the performance in reality was exactly the same as the performance in the game.
For example, a few French companies produced several materials with high physical properties in "Science Lab." They had extremely high application value. After "extracting" the technology into reality, the performance of these materials was surprising.
The achievements in the field of biopharmaceuticals were even more brilliant. Due to the characteristics of "powerful computing power" and "ten times the speed of scientific research," in just a few months, more than 30 diseases that were considered "incurable" and "incurable" had been treated with effective drugs in "Science Lab." The possibility of curing these incurable diseases could be seen.
What was even more ridiculous was that in the Science Workshop, ethical disputes could be avoided. Pharmacological experiments were conducted directly on NPC humans in the game, and the feedback data was consistent with reality.
In this way, in the field of medicine, a few huge obstacles in front of them were kicked away, and the development of medicine was ten times faster than in the past.
He saw the hope of eradicating all disease.
As for the progress made in other fields, there was no need to introduce it.
In short, for scientists in the fields of physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, medicine, materials, and so on, the 100% Science Lab was an artifact!
For each country, the "100% Science Lab" was simply a shortcut to achieve "low-cost high-tech power"!
With this game, countries with medium strength did not need to invest billions or tens of billions to build expensive scientific research facilities. They only needed to prepare a few computers that cost tens of thousands of yuan and recruit a group of top talents to enter the 100% Science Studio. Online "cloud research" could be carried out.
"Cloud Technology Superpower" was instantly realized in a game.
The most surprising thing was that the scientific research results in the game could be "extracted" into reality, and it was guaranteed to be more than 99% effective.
Therefore, countries such as Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, and South Korea launched the "National Cash Extraction Program" one after another. For scientific research results that had greater value for cash extraction, these countries would participate in it and find ways to gather the "points" needed for cash extraction. They even took out money from the national treasury to top up game points to help extract high-value scientific research results into reality.
Xing Hai Technologies also made a lot of money from this. According to the quality of the performance, it allocated 100 million to 10 billion points to the governments of various countries, and sold a large number of points … In this way, the game was actually profitable.
After discovering that there was a serious shortage of talents in their own countries, they turned their attention to the M nation one after another. Immediately, they were furious.
"I didn't expect that there would be so many outstanding talents in our country. All of them have gone to the M nation!"
"Come back, all of you, go back to your own country and work for your motherland!"
"Don't say that our country doesn't have a suitable scientific research environment. We have the 'Science Studio'. The scientific research facilities inside are no worse than the top laboratories in the M nation. The speed of scientific research can be increased by 10 times."
"Come back, come back quickly. The motherland has never needed you as much as it does today. Remember the blood in your body, remember your roots, think of the clouds in your hometown, think of your relatives in your hometown, wanderers who are wandering outside, come back."
After the poaching operation began, the diplomatic personnel of various countries stationed in the M nation basically followed this routine.
Even literary works or songs such as "The Clouds of My Hometown" and "My Patriot Heart" suddenly became popular. There were more than a dozen language versions. The content and melody were extremely similar, but the effect was surprisingly good.
After all, the M nation was just a country of immigrants. It was a strange mix of people. The internal cohesion was not as strong as imagined.
Now, the diplomatic personnel of various countries were doing this.
In just one month, tens of thousands of outstanding scientists had to leave.
But for the M nation.
How could this be?!
Science and technology, military, finance. These were the three legs of the M nation's hegemony. Among them, science and technology ranked first. It was the most important national foundation!
Once this national foundation was shaken, the M nation's hegemony would immediately falter and immediately fall to a second or third-rate country.
Losing their scientific and technological talents was equivalent to losing their most elite soldiers. Soon, they would be weak and worthless.
"No one is allowed to leave! Not a single one is allowed to leave!"
The M nation's government was anxious. Regardless of the international impact, they immediately closed the visa application channel, forced the landing of many flights, and closed many exit channels. They demanded that all scientists working in the M nation were not allowed to leave.
For those who were determined to leave, the FBI was dispatched to detain them first.
In the first instance, the phenomenon of brain drain was curbed.
However, this overbearing approach was immediately condemned by various countries and instantly became the target of public criticism.
The media of various countries strongly protested:
"Release our scientists immediately"
"This is a naked kidnapping"
The Shameless Act of National Terrorism
"Don't rule out the possibility of sending special forces to rescue"
"We should send out the warships to pick up our scientists"
The global anti-M nation sentiment was on the rise. The M nation stood at the forefront of the storm and felt "lonely" for the first time.
Even so!
Those scientists who wanted to leave still couldn't be let go.
But it was not a solution to go on like this!
"If the sanctions against Xing Hai Technologies are not lifted and the '100% Science Lab' is not introduced, the outstanding scientists of the M nation will still run away and leave the M nation through various means. Other countries will also exert greater pressure together, including closing the M nation's overseas military bases and expelling the M nation from this planet. Although we are strong, we can't be enemies with all countries."
"Please lift the sanctions immediately!"
Under the leadership of Robert Simon, the M nation's scientific community wrote another joint letter, asking the president and Congress to lift the sanctions and introduce the '100% Science Lab'.
"Lift the sanctions? Do you mean for us to admit defeat and bow to a company from Z nation?"
An extreme member of parliament's face turned red. He clenched his fist and said, "Impossible! We will never bow to a thief! Never! "
50.1% versus 49.9%.
The final vote was to continue the sanctions. The ultra-hardliners still had a slight upper hand.
"It's hopeless! You bunch of stupid bastards. "
Robert Simon felt despair towards this group of brainless politicians!
However …
A few days later.
The scientists of the M nation still successfully downloaded the '100% Science Lab' and entered the game.
Their solution was actually very simple. They would pull a few internet cables from the neighboring country in the north, Ghana, and set the IP address to Ghana. In this way, they would be able to experience the game without lifting the sanctions against Xing Hai Technologies.
As early as a few months ago, Ghana no longer followed the M nation. They gave up the blockade and sanctions against Xing Hai Technologies and introduced some of Xing Hai Technologies' products. For this reason, they were warned and beaten by the M nation.
Now.
The M nation actually wanted to ride on their little brother's network. Like a thief, they secretly downloaded and used the '100% Science Lab' just to save their ridiculous face and dignity.
