Rockefeller University is located in an inconspicuous building in the corner of the campus, in a conference room with an area of about 200 square meters.
A total of five people were scattered around a large round table in the middle of the conference room.
There are a lot of empty seats around the round table, and it seems that it can accommodate at least twenty people to participate in the meeting at the same time.
In the middle of the round table is a large hollow, with a three-dimensional holographic image device placed in it. At this time, a video seemed to have just finished playing, and the holographic image suddenly disappeared.
"Mr. Beardwood, this is the entire battle process. Apart from those useless preambles, the actual combat process only lasts a few seconds. It's just one punch. Your department carefully selected
Forty-two clones were all killed in battle, and they did not show the slightest bit of competitiveness they should have. Simply speaking from a performance perspective, it is really a pity."
Bignell said with a sad expression.
However, the gloating in his tone was extremely obvious.
"Play it again, at a hundred times slower speed, and at the same time keep all the data monitored during the process. I want to see every detail clearly."
The man known as Mr. Beardwood is a white man who is also the head of the cloning department. In terms of status, he is quite equal to Kettles.
Although Bignell's tone was full of provocation, Beardwood ignored it at all and directly ordered Winkel beside him.
However, the solemn expression on Beardwood's face showed that his inner state at this time was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.
Winkel agreed and started working on the holographic image again.
In addition to these three people, the other two people in the conference room were Kettles and a member of the Rockefeller family.
Neville Rockefeller, the head of this generation of the Rockefeller family, is an apparently ordinary man in his seventies.
But even within the entire American Empire, there are few people with a more noble status than this old man.
In a sense, the Rockefeller family can even be regarded as synonymous with the American empire. Although Rockefeller's name has not appeared in today's so-called wealth rankings for a long time, for this family, the wealth rankings have no meaning.
.
Due to the increasing transparency of society, many consortiums are choosing to keep a low profile as much as possible and are always exposed to the sun, which does not meet the needs of most consortiums.
Perhaps the wealth and industry maintained by the Rockefeller family on the surface is no longer amazing, but its secret influence is inestimable.
The majority of the investors behind the cloning department and Power Rangers are none other than the Rockefeller family.
Although other plutocrats are also involved, the Rockefeller family occupies an absolutely dominant position.
Therefore, in such a meeting, apart from the two leaders Kettles and Beardwood, only Neville Rockefeller was invited.
Because this contemporary patriarch of the Rockefeller family can fully represent the opinions of all fund providers.
"Kettles, how powerful are the monks who participated in this battle? How powerful are they in the Eastern Kingdom?"
Neville Rockefeller watched Beardwood continue to study the three-dimensional image more carefully. He also knew that he could not understand the concepts between the data, so he simply asked Kettles directly beside him.
"This... do you want to hear the truth, or a lie?"
After Kettles pondered for a moment, he asked.
Neville Rockefeller frowned, looked at Kettles' calm expression, and then said: "Kettles, I know you are dissatisfied with our recent decision and think that you should give up the research on Power Rangers and instead go all-out.
Supporting the cloning sector is a huge strategic mistake and a very short-sighted behavior. Personally, I agree with your thoughts and views."
Kettles looked at Neville with some surprise. He had nothing to say and just waited for the next step.
"But I also hope you understand what a heavy burden the research on Power Rangers is for us and the empire. It is no exaggeration to say that over the years, in order to maintain the research and operation of the entire Power Rangers
, the empire’s technological development process has been delayed for at least ten years! You should understand what this means.”
Neville's tone was very calm and he said it in a descriptive tone.
"I understand, and I can understand it, but I don't agree with it."
Kettles said without hesitation.
"Whether you agree or not, we must look at the overall situation. With such a huge investment, we must see sufficient results and returns, but the reality is that the Power Rangers do have a certain combat effectiveness, but this combat effectiveness,
It is still far from our requirements. Such achievements have made us less and less confident, and made us doubt whether it is worthwhile to continue such a huge investment? Maybe one day, you may really be able to make such an investment.
With the support, we can achieve our expected goals, but the question is... how long will it take? In this process, can the empire always be able to withstand your horrific resource consumption? Kettles, I understand the development of Power Rangers,
In fact, it is the right way. But this world is like this. In many cases, the right way does not necessarily mean it is correct. In essence, we are businessmen."
When Neville said this, seeing Kettles wanting to speak, he couldn't help but waved his hand to stop Kettles' intention to speak, and continued: "So, Kettles, I hope you can put aside those subjective dissatisfactions and use
Answer my question as objectively as possible. Our country has no historical foundation, so we can only rely on faster development to make up for this gap. You are very powerful, but you have delayed this to a certain extent.
Speed, my personal appreciation cannot override the overall interests, and you must do the same! Everything...for the empire!"
Kettles listened to Neville's words and took a deep breath with his eyes closed.
When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were already clear.
Neville nodded secretly and waited quietly for Kettles' answer.
"Ye Su... is very strong. He has unparalleled talent and growth potential. He is... the cultivator I know who has the fastest improvement in strength. This is the second time I have seen him, but the power he has shown
, there has been a qualitative change compared to the first time I met him. And it has only been a few months since I first met him. But if we only look at what he showed in this experimental battle,
In terms of strength, he should only be ranked in the third echelon among those cultivators in the East. There may not be a hundred more powerful cultivators than him, but there are dozens... after all."
Kettles tried to speak without any subjective intention.
"so much……"
Neville couldn't believe it.
"Furthermore, the strength gap between the cultivators in the East is huge. The strongest among the cultivators, faced with the overwhelming advantage that a cultivator of Ye Su's strength can form, compared to Ye Su's ability to copy in this battle,
The advantages formed by the body will only be greater, not smaller."
Kettles said affirmatively.
Neville's pupils shrank, his eyes turned to the three-dimensional image that was slowing down at a hundred times speed, and he fell into silence for a moment.
