V2/Chapter 12: Sounding the Horn of Counterattack
"Teacher, do you really agree?"
Even after Ai Yue left, Su still hadn't reacted.
Ai Yue proposed the condition of "disbanding the Fifth Science Department", which was outrageous enough in itself, but what was even more outrageous was that Spasi agreed to it without much hesitation.
This made Su a little confused - he had just joined the Fifth Science Department not long ago, why was his department suddenly disbanded?
"Why not?" Spasi asked, "Su, 80% of the projects in the Fifth Science Department are related to the Honkai Serum. Now that artificial Honkai Serum has been developed, are these projects still necessary?"
"If eighty percent of the projects in the Fifth Science Department no longer exist, then this place can naturally be disbanded, right?"
"But, as the world's top medical research institution, the Fifth Science Department is not only capable of researching Honkai Serum!" Su asked, "There are so many diseases in the world that need to be conquered, shouldn't we solve them?"
"Su, you have to understand that the Fifth Science Department is a subsidiary organization of the Fire Moth." Spasi shook his head. "The Fire Moth has only one goal since its establishment, and that is to completely eliminate the threat of Honkai to humanity."
"What you said is important, but compared to the Honkai, it is nothing." Spasi lowered his head. On his desk, there were documents left by Ai Yue before he left. "Besides, the dissolution of the Fifth Science Department is not a bad thing."
As he said that, he handed the document to Su and motioned for him to open it and take a look.
"This..." Su glanced at it briefly, then looked at Spasi, "So, it's not disbanding, but breaking up into smaller pieces?"
"Break it down into pieces. I like that." Spasi smiled. "So, what do you think now?"
"I have to admit, this plan is very good." Su opened his mouth and finally sighed, "I can't think of any problems at the moment."
Ai Yue's plan was simple. The birth of the artificially synthesized Honkai disease serum meant that the production of this drug was no longer constrained by the number of patient corpses, thus greatly improving the production efficiency. Combined with the mass production of Honkai energy adsorption devices, it was already possible to treat ordinary patients without having to send them all to the Fifth Science Department to die.
Therefore, Ai Yue plans to establish hospitals specializing in the treatment of Honkai disease in various large cities in order to launch a "counterattack" against Honkai disease.
To establish a hospital, one naturally needs experienced doctors. But where in the world can one find doctors with experience in treating Honkai disease?
The answer is naturally the Fifth Science Department.
Therefore, in Ai Yue's plan, in addition to retaining a small number of scientific research talents and continuing research on projects such as the cost optimization of Honkai disease serum, all other personnel will need to go to hospitals in various places to take up positions, so there is talk of disbanding the Fifth Science Department.
Of course, this plan is not to be implemented starting today, so when Ai Yue handed the plan to Spasi, he was also conveying the message "you decide for yourself".
He even left behind the detailed information of the artificially synthesized Honkai energy serum, obviously not intending to continue to take care of this matter.
From now on, whether Spasi decides to continue to retain the Fifth Science Department, or to carry out his plan, or has other ideas, Ai Yue will no longer interfere.
It was as if he came here just to help them get through the most difficult hurdle.
"Su, I've made up my mind." Spasi suddenly said, "The Fifth Science Department will retain a laboratory to continue researching and optimizing the solution for the Honkai Disease serum, and this laboratory will be handed over to you."
"Teacher?" Su was stunned for a moment. He never expected that he would be responsible for such an important matter not long after joining the Fifth Science Department. "What about you? Are you planning to retire?"
"Retire? Of course not." Spasi smiled and subconsciously clenched his right hand. "Honkai took away everything from me, so I will fight it to the last moment."
"I will be on the front line in the hospital, working until I die."
Spasi's wife and daughter both died of Honkai disease. When they fell ill, Spasi was at the scene. Because he was unwilling to let go of his wife and daughter's hands until they died, his left hand also became infected, and he eventually had to rely on amputation surgery to save his life.
Although Spasi now uses a bionic prosthesis, he hardly uses this arm due to some kind of resistance in his heart.
However, today, he tried hard to control his prosthesis, opened the long-dusty drawer, and took out a curved flat wine jug.
"Come and drink with me, Su." Spasi raised the wine jug and smiled happily, "Maybe there won't be another chance in the future."
"Teacher..." Su looked at Spasi, who seemed to have aged a lot, and hesitated for a long time. Finally, he spoke, "There is something I want to tell you."
"I met Dr. Mobius the other day."
Ai Yue naturally had no idea what kind of conversation took place between the master and the disciple after he left. Now he had returned to his room and just wanted to have a good sleep.
In order to complete the research project of artificially synthesizing serum as quickly as possible, Ai Yue has not slept for nearly thirty hours. After all, technology in the medical field has always been his weak point. If it were not for Prometheus getting all the basic knowledge related to Honkai disease from Spasi's computer, he might not be able to complete this project today.
Of course, artificially synthesizing Honkai disease serum is not actually a very difficult technology. After all, 50,000 years in the future, a certain blond devil man completed this project with the knowledge of his predecessors and his own efforts.
However, compared with the version in Ai Yue's hand, even the "HSN-b64 Serum" is slightly inferior.
After all, the version in Ai Yue's hand only needs a little optimization before it can be put into mass production directly. It is completely different from those things that cannot be manufactured without specific materials.
As he thought about it, Ai Yue couldn't help but yawn.
Although this level of fatigue is nothing to him now, as a sleep lover, Ai Yue really cannot allow himself to go without sleep for such a long time.
But before going to bed, he still made a phone call.
"Dr. Ai Yue?"
Sakura's slightly puzzled voice sounded from the other end of the phone: "Why are you calling me at this time? Do you have a mission?"
"No, it's just that the problem on my side has been basically solved." Ai Yue said straight to the point, "When are we going to pick up your sister?"
