Chapter 306 Confrontation of Public Opinion
Just after the federal government approved the patent assessment of Azurite Biotechnology, a bright headline appeared on the front page of the Lensa Evening News published that evening:
"Controversy arose over the patent for the development of biological mechas, and the federal government issued a public apology!"
Nowadays, the carriers of federal media are extremely rich, but the Lensa Evening News, as an old print media, still has huge traffic and influence in today's world where health and reading experience are increasingly emphasized.
Therefore, the night the evening newspaper was published, federal public opinion was like a powder keg that was suddenly detonated, causing an uproar.
That night, all major media forums were being reposted by the people of the Federation as soon as possible, and social platforms were also rushing to comment and rebroadcast it. For a time, all parts of the Federation were discussing this controversy.
Because the Canglan War continues to be mired in quagmire, when the ribbon-cutting ceremony was held for the completion of Puke Biotechnology's new project factory and a press conference was held at the same time, they publicly announced that they had successfully developed a biological mecha that cost far less than previous mechanical mechas.
It aroused the curiosity and enthusiasm of the federal people.
As the ultimate weapon in the history of human combat development, mechas provide soldiers with unprecedented mobility and destructive power, but their high cost is also staggering.
The cost of mining and refining rare metals alone cannot be supported by any small industry. Therefore, in the manufacturing of mechas, Coca Machinery Heavy Industry, which is directly controlled by the military, has a monopoly. This can minimize the cost of mining and refining rare metals.
costs and unnecessary business expenses.
As we all know, the more complex and precise a machine is, the more likely it is to malfunction. Later, with the advent of the high-energy particle shock blade, a weapon that subverts the understanding of matter, the external armor that used to be able to withstand howitzer bombardment at close range to a certain extent became
It has to be no different from paper.
Therefore, every time there is a war, the mecha must undergo an overhaul. Therefore, the high maintenance cost of the mecha is also staggering.
The Federation's annual military expenditure on mechas accounts for one-fifth of the total military investment, second only to the investment in star battleships.
The high cost and difficult maintenance have always been the biggest restrictions and shackles limiting the size of the mecha army.
And if it is as announced by Puke, the new generation of biological mechas is no less than mechanical mechas in terms of performance, and the cost has dropped nearly six times. In addition, biological mechas have the characteristics common to living things and can heal wounds.
.Can greatly reduce maintenance difficulties and expenses.
It is foreseeable that in the future battlefield, the use of mechas will no longer be limited to the execution of small-scale special tasks and raid operations, but can restore the ridiculous power just like on the original battlefield of the earth.
Human wave tactics.
When encountering a strategic location that is difficult to conquer, it will no longer be the first choice for warships to risk being intercepted and bombarded with main guns. The Federation can use a sea of mechas to directly swamp the Imperials regardless of the cost.
Such a change that could completely change the history of human war would naturally arouse the enthusiasm of the people to an unprecedented level.
However, just when people were excited about the birth of this new technology, it was revealed that the ownership of this patent did not belong to Puke. So this news immediately attracted a lot of attention.
From the perspective of a bystander, we reported in detail the progress of the research and development of this biological mecha. The research and development timetable of Puke Biotech is indeed earlier than that of Azurite, an unknown small company, but another detail cannot be ignored.
That is, Yue Yuanliang, the technical director who was originally affiliated with Blue Crystal Biotech, suddenly switched jobs from Blue Crystal, but was sued by Blue Crystal in court for allegedly leaking the company's core business secrets.
So last night, there were all kinds of unusual remarks, including of course some indignant people accusing Puke of shameless banditry and using despicable methods to appropriate the scientific research results of small enterprises.
However, a considerable number of people have questioned this. Can such a complex and cutting-edge biotechnology be developed by a newly established and unknown small company?
Immediately, someone dug up the development history of Blue Crystal Company. A small company that was established less than three years ago seemed to have little background in developing such a technology that required countless manpower and material resources to be researched, developed and innovated.
Later, someone even revealed that the founder of this company originally quit Puke, and had a dark history of privately manufacturing genetic components. Therefore, some people speculated irresponsibly whether the technology itself was the product of Blue Crystal senior executives.
Puko stole it and then raked it over.
Immediately afterwards, another post began to appear on major forums. The title was "Employees quit and suffered bloody revenge", and posted the miserable appearance of the victim after being hospitalized.
Originally, a post like this could attract a lot of attention on weekdays, but tonight there was talk of patent disputes everywhere. When this post first appeared, it was immediately overwhelmed by the back page, until someone accidentally posted it.
'When it was discovered that the victim's name was actually Yue Yuanliang, one of the central figures in this incident, the forgotten post was immediately pinned to the top and attracted countless onlookers.
In the photo, Yue Yuanliang is lying on the hospital bed with lifeless eyes, one hand wrapped in gauze, and the other hand covering the deck and plaster. It looks so desolate that it makes people feel pity.
For a time, this news made many people who did not know the truth begin to turn to Pu Ke, accusing Azurite Biotechnology of being crazy and unscrupulous in order to gain fame and fortune.
However, there are still many sensible people who point out the doubts. If the technology is not Blue Crystal, why did the government approve Blue Crystal's patent application, enter it through the Ministry of National Defense, and publicly apologize to it.
But there are also people who argue that if the patent really belongs to Azurite, why not just cancel the registration of Puke and cancel the public announcement next month? Instead, they are preparing for a surname competency assessment with great fanfare.
All in all, there were divergent opinions on the Internet. It can be said that this incident captured the attention of the public, and the discussion about biological mechas continued until midnight.
In the middle of the night, Lidia obtained Remia's permission and left the nightmarish Red Pity Pavilion. She returned home with scars and fatigue all over her body, put down the hot water, and lay down in the bathtub full of foam and petals.
Only in this way can we soothe the nerves that are about to collapse.
Ever since Flandre handed over her ownership of the night to the second lady, her nightmare had begun, and the only way to free her was to gain Shi Chen's favor and recognition. However, half a week had passed.
She still failed to open a breakthrough in Shi Chen.
Shi Chen seemed to regard her as a competent full-time secretary, but turned a blind eye to her beauty and temptation. Last night, when she was ready to risk everything to show off to Shi Chen, the idiot Yue Yuanliang appeared halfway with a group of people.
People killed her chance to change her destiny, so she hated Yue Yuanliang deeply.
Whenever this happens, she will always take out her terminal and chat about the video she took with the terminal to relieve her hatred. Whenever she sees the scene of Shi Chen's invincible battle, which is like a god coming down from the earth, it always makes her dazzled.
, and temporarily forgot the hatred.
She reviewed the video with resentment again, and then casually opened the entertainment forum she often visited. She did not immediately notice the public opinion war on the Internet, but it was the pinned post with a red mark that caught her attention.
When he saw Yue Yuanliang, who looked miserable and depressed, and then looked at those remarks that confuse right and wrong, he was immediately angry. One Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. All the old and new hatreds were completely ignited. He sat up from the bathtub in shock, revealing his beautiful body.
posture.
But she did not get carried away by anger. Instead, after careful consideration, she sneered and opened another post by herself. In the post, she described the situation of that night in detail as a person involved, saying that she was the victim, and scolded Pu
Ke's shameless act of land-washing was intended to confuse right and wrong and confuse the public.
At the end of the post, she posted the live video she took that night.
Chapter completed!
