Since the appearance of Tiga, with his huge figure and terrifying power beyond human imagination, he has successively defeated monsters and cosmic beings that left humans helpless. Who doesn't covet this power? Who doesn't want this power?
Countries quickly mobilized resources, mobilized relevant manpower and material resources, and launched various studies on Ultraman.
And the fragments of the two giant stone statues collected from the land of Tiga have become a super sweet food, and anyone who has the ability wants to take a bite.
As a result, TPC, which had just been established a few years ago, took advantage of the situation and launched the "Stone Statue Strategy", using fragments of giant stone statues in the land of Tiga in exchange for other rights and interests, and establishing related interests to strengthen mutual cooperation.
, and at the same time deepen the connections between countries through technology sharing and exchanges in stone statue research.
From ancient times to the present, there are no unbreakable relationships, only indestructible interests.
As long as the interests are consistent, even if it is revenge for killing one's father, they can cooperate with each other with a smile; on the contrary, if the interests are inconsistent, even if they are life and death friends, they can draw swords against each other.
At that time, when the TPC was founded, it had not yet established sufficient authority, and it had to maintain in-depth cooperation with the remaining governments. To put it bluntly, you needed other people's consent to do whatever you wanted to do.
In this case, it is impossible to monopolize the fragments of stone statues. If you dare to monopolize them, others will do anything to you.
It is true that Director Sawai is an idealist, but he also knows that nothing is perfect and reality requires compromise.
When monsters appear frequently, everyone needs a sense of security.
The greatest sense of security is that of Ultraman. Therefore, when there are fragments of the giant stone statue, all capable forces want to study it to see if they can get some results. At this time, saying that they will not be touched is comparable to
The consequences of cutting off people's financial resources are even greater.
Director Sawai is based on reality. If this is the case, then use it to make it bigger and stronger, and in exchange for benefits, to stabilize the nascent TPC.
Also...
Why block it?
Monsters appear frequently, people are in dire straits, and TPC has no effective response.
If it weren't for Ultraman, I don't know how many cities would have been destroyed.
How could we not study such an effective ‘Noble Phantasm against monsters’?
The butt determines the head.
Since you are a human being, you naturally stand on the side of humanity. Unless there are other major changes, it is possible to change the camp.
Therefore, studying stone statue fragments is something that is beneficial to mankind and will benefit mankind. Not only will it not stop it, but it will also strongly support it.
It was under this circumstance that various countries successively established laboratories to study giant stone statues. TPC also established a biological science investigation room at the sea base of its headquarters at that time, led by Dr. Tango, who was an accomplished biologist.
A biological expert, he conducted in-depth research on the giant stone statue fragments.
Even so, the stone statue fragments that Dr. Tango has access to are less than ten kilograms, and they are still placed in a special vacuum container "secret box". If he wants to take out even one gram of stone statue fragments,
Authorization is required and the entire process is recorded. It must be recycled at the end of the research and a detailed report must be prepared.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is the nuclear bomb code, that's all.
No, it may be more important than the nuclear bomb code.
After all, in the case of nuclear bombs, although mankind has been destroyed, the technology and personnel are still there. If you want to build them, you can create a lot more without much effort.
But what about the giant stone statue?
There were only two of them, and they were extremely damaged. They were trampled back and forth by Golzan and Melba. Less than a thousand tons could be recovered, and the rest contained a lot of impurities.
It seems like a large number, but the density of giants is extremely high. One cubic meter of volume weighs fifty tons, which is more than twice as dense as iridium, the densest metal previously discovered by humans. It is made of steel.
Five times as much.
Therefore, these thousand tons of stone statue fragments are not enough to fill a room. This shows how much Golzan and Melba hated the giants at that time. They would trample them back and forth and destroy the giant stone statues to pieces.
Naturally, such a vital thing cannot be placed randomly. The location of the storage is highly confidential and belongs to a place that cannot be found on the map. Moreover, it will not be exhausted. Even if it is taken out for research, it will be taken out bit by bit.
Damn, every gram can’t be wasted.
Until Masaki Keigo appeared, he proved two things with his actual actions. First, humans can become Ultraman under certain conditions. Second, it is very difficult to control Ultraman's power with a human body. Not only is it impossible
To become a fighting force for human beings to protect their homeland will instead become a resistance.
In the face of the ironclad facts, many people who were originally keen on studying the power of giants hesitated and began to seriously consider, is such a powerful power really within the control of weak humans?
Just like guns are powerful, they are beyond the control of children. What's more, Ultraman's power is countless times greater than that of guns.
After careful consideration and careful analysis, TPC decided to take a cautious approach to the research on the giant stone fragments, tighten up the research institutes in various places, close down the unqualified ones directly, and integrate the qualified ones.
To put it bluntly, it means no longer casting a wide net, but adopting a strategy of elite troops and concentrating manpower and material resources into several research institutes. This not only facilitates management and control, but also reduces mutual barriers, thereby strengthening communication and avoiding duplication of research.
The reason is very simple. Everyone wants to eat more of the cake. Even if they can't eat it all, they still want to take the biggest bite.
From ancient times to the present, monopoly has been the most profitable. Even if you cannot monopolize, you can be the first to eat and eat more.
Therefore, although they are all human beings and are studying the fragments of giant stone statues, the exchanges between countries and even between research institutes and laboratories are only non-critical information.
This leads to duplication of research and a huge waste of resources and manpower.
There was no way before. After all, although everyone claimed to lay down their weapons, disband the army, and join the TPC family, in fact, they were doing their own thing.
Just like the police station, it is basically a smaller version of the National Defense Force. Many senior officials of the police station, including Director Ji Gang, are from the National Defense Force. Toughness is also their consistent attitude. After all, if soldiers are not tough, who else can?
Lift it up.
The same is true for other departments, but they just changed the previous brand to TPC, there is no substantial change at all.
But there is nothing we can do about it. Governing a big country is like cooking a small dish. It involves global issues and cannot be solved by a simple decree. Otherwise, there would be no need for police force to maintain social order. People would not enact a law.
Violated, everything needs to change slowly.
This is also the reason why TPC will undergo a large-scale reorganization in 2014. It is necessary to integrate previous compromises, straighten out the relationship between various departments, and determine the absolute dominance of TPC.
If the government is harmonious and harmonious, work efficiency will be higher and there will be less blame-shifting. This is also the reason why plans in new areas can develop rapidly.
The biggest reason why we can do this is that as time goes by, everyone has a higher degree of recognition of TPC, and they also find that it is better to unite, so they naturally agree with this reorganization.
As for how loyal you are to TPC...
Well, how should I put it? The more people are in the market, the more loyal they are. On the contrary, people who have climbed to high positions are very 'sober' and value interests more than slogans and glory.
One's own interests, the interests of the party, and more broadly, the interests of the TPC and the interests of mankind.
Interests are like chains, binding individuals and departments together, but disputes and conflicts can also arise due to different interests.
Just like in the meeting just now, everyone was red-faced and quarrelsome. They were talking about the safety of the earth, but what they were thinking about was how much money they could get.
But the two are not antagonistic, because only when humans exist can they be in high positions. Otherwise, the earth will be destroyed and the children will continue to enjoy the treatment of being superior to others?
Therefore, everyone has the same opinion on protecting the earth. The difference is just who recommends which weapon to use to protect the earth.
The same goes for the police department.
Like everyone else, I have no objections to protecting the earth and mankind. I am also doing my best to not want anything to happen to the earth, nor do I want mankind to suffer major trauma.
But the difference lies in the fact that the police department, which has a strong defense force style, wants to occupy a dominant position in this long battle to defend the earth. Just like in the old defense force era, the army is responsible for protecting the country and other departments are responsible for logistics.
That’s it.
But the problem is that if you do this, you will have to take away a lot of power from other people, and no one wants to give up the cake they got, so they can only grab it alive.
This is also the reason why the police department is keen on forming armed forces, in order to continuously strengthen itself, thereby coercing other departments and using hard power to gain power.
After all, although the rules come first, if your fist is big enough, then you are the rule.
Forming an elite team, preparing to build an arsenal, manufacturing large space battleships, and the Ultraman research that Kei mentioned in the middle are all key projects of the police station.
The main idea is to cast a wide net and catch more fish.
No matter which one yields results, it can greatly enhance the strength of the police department.
Let’s put it this way, the benchmark of the police department is never any department, but all departments.
Chief of Staff Nagumo is ambitious and wants to single-handedly overwhelm other departments of TPC and thus achieve a de facto situation of being a dominant company. By then, if he is not the director, then TPC will be gone.
Naturally, other departments are not willing to do this. The cake is so big. If you take more bites, I will take less.
So even though they had conflicts with each other, they united in a tacit understanding to suppress the police station.
Of course, if there is a consensus in this regard, it will not stop everyone from continuing to fight happily in other aspects.
Megumi Nakama knows this, Makoto Chiba understands it, and Director Fukami also knows it very well, but no one has ever tried to mediate differences, and no one naively thinks they can eliminate conflicts.
If an organization has no internal friction, no intrigues, and no stabbing each other, then this organization must be a grassroots team, and it is also a grassroots team with few individuals and no interests.
But if there are more mortals and the interests are greater, then everyone will be beaten into a dog's brain in order to compete for them.
Think about an office, how many people there are, and they can all perform wonderfully. There are so many stories that even one hundred and eighty episodes would not be enough.
And how many people does TPC have? There are tens of millions of employees, plus their families, the number is in the hundreds of millions.
There are four groups in a dormitory for four people. How many conflicts and disagreements can arise among hundreds of millions of people?
Therefore, it is simply impossible to expect everyone to be harmonious. It is already very restrained to kill everyone without meeting and bleed them into rivers.
Therefore, when I heard from Megumi Nakama that the police station was still conducting research on Ultraman despite the TPC's ban, Chiba Makoto was not surprised at all. He even felt that if the police station did not do it, there would be a big problem.
, because this means that the police department has something stronger than Ultraman's power.
It's not just the police department, there must be many people doing research secretly, but they are not as high-profile as the police department.
After all, wealth moves people's hearts, and the power of giants is more moving than any wealth. It's not just a simple ban that can make people let go of greed.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many corrupt officials in the world.
"As for Luluye, don't worry. She has fallen into the deep sea a long time ago. Unless the void is shattered, there is no way to open Luluye. As for Mu Continent..." Qianye Cheng also frowned a little when he said this.
In fact, not much is known about the Mu continent in the R sea area.
That was the place where Gatangee had a decisive battle with the super-ancient giants. After the battle, Gatanjee was severely damaged, almost all the giants were destroyed, and the Mu continent sank as a result.
What's on it?
What's left?
Chiba Cheng also knew nothing about this, because even in the super ancient times, giants rarely set foot in that dangerous place.
But one thing is clear, that is, if the police department wants to obtain the giant stone statue from the battlefield of the Mu continent, it is destined to be nothing.
During the battle with Gatanjie, all the remaining power and consciousness in the giant stone statue were given to Tiga, and what was left was just a wreckage. Although it cannot be said to be the same as a stone, it is probably of little use.
Just like the two stone statues in Tiga Land and the stone statues discovered by Masaki Keigo under Kumamoto, they are just empty shells.
Just like the human body, even if it is made of the same elements, it is just a dead thing. Only when the soul is injected can it become a living 'person'.
Therefore, the current plan of the police station must be to find a body, and then let Masaki Keigo repeat the success of the past and inject a soul into the body.
I have to say that the main thing the police station does is to be upright. Although it is not aboveboard, it is not sneaky either. It is just about telling the whole world what I am going to do next.
But maybe it’s because there’s no way to hide this from anyone. After all, everyone knows exactly what’s going on with Luluye and what’s wrong with the Mu continent. The eyes of the whole world are watching. Even if you want to be sneaky, you can’t do it. You can only be caught.
The pressure is aboveboard, and as long as results can be produced, the process is not that important.
