On the other side.
Inside the Laboratory the San Francisco Life Foundation.
The 36th life interaction experiment begins.
At this point, Dora explained to Drake, "It's a biological interaction between two different organisms. These organisms need to combine with a host that can breathe oxygen, and if successful, they can survive for a long time in Earth's oxygen-rich environment."
Drake looked at the experiment before him and asked, "Then why does the host still experience a super-sexual rejection reaction?"
"We are still investigating the specific cause."
At this point, as indicated by the instrument, the Symbiote began to enter the rabbit's body.
"The integration process has begun."
The instrument display showed that balance had been achieved.
Dora smiled. "The reaction has stabilized."
The two looked at the rabbit in the sealed Laboratory. The rabbit showed no abnormalities and began to survive normally.
Seeing this, Drake smiled and asked with some excitement, "But why?"
"Why did it work on rabbits, while all thirty-five samples in the previous experiment failed?"
Dora explained from the side, "This combination is a bit like an organ transplant."
Drake asked, "So you mean the donor and recipient have to be a perfect match?"
Dora nodded and said, "That's right."
"Great, we can think of it this way: if the organisms successfully combine, they can survive in this world, and we can survive in their world."
Upon hearing Drake's words, Dora initially nodded in agreement, but then asked in surprise, "You mean us?"
Yes, it's us!
"Since they can live on that planet, then after the union is successful, that planet can become our new habitat. We can live on their planet, a place without industrial pollution and with abundant resources."
Even if there isn't much usable land, it can still be used as resources to help us find new habitats.
Upon hearing Drake's answer, Dora immediately understood.
Drake didn't say anything more, but directly ordered, "Begin the human experiments."
Dora Skirth declined, saying, "It's too early to consider human trials at this stage, and the company is currently facing lawsuits regarding human trials. Wouldn't this be a bad time?"
Drake looked at Dora and said seriously, "Skirth. Scholes, this is a major scientific breakthrough. I hope you'll be brave, okay?"
"As for the lawsuit you mentioned, I will resolve it as soon as possible."
"And we have already planned to build a second life-saving spaceship."
Hearing Drake say that, Dora nodded and said, "I understand, but this is an ethical issue..."
Drake interrupted him directly, saying, "Think about the next generation!"
"The Earth's environment is already under immense strain. Think of your children; are they doing alright?"
Upon hearing Dr. Drake's words, Dora immediately stopped arguing. She joined the Life Foundation to help future generations find new habitats and new living environments.
"Let's begin human trials!"
Drake left a message and then turned and left the Laboratory.
Carl Drake went to his office, picked up his phone, and called his chief secretary.
"It's been a month, a whole month, and you still haven't dealt with those people who filed the lawsuit. What are you even doing?"
"Boss, I've found out who's behind them and arranged a meeting. I might need your presence then."
"Okay, I understand."
Carl Drake hung up the phone, looked out at the night view, and wondered where to raise funds for the second spaceship.
The Life Foundation originally had enough money to build a second Lifeship, but because it invested a lot of money in order to maintain the stock price within a month, the price has already dropped by 13%. If it weren't for the need to protect the stock price, it wouldn't be in such a tight situation.

The next day.
Ginny arrived at the Life Foundation headquarters in San Francisco with a team that included lawyers, accountants, and members of the Werewolf group.
This time, Ginny didn't use her identity as a shareholder of Charlotte Stark Industries. Instead, she used her identity as the chairperson of Sudis Industries, the Vampire family business she had taken over in London.
At this moment, Ginny was sitting in the conference room, opposite Reddock and his men.
"Chairwoman Ginny, your company is also related to pharmaceuticals, from artificial blood to Clone Blood. You must understand that human trials are an essential part of the new drug development process. I wonder what price you would have to pay to have these lawsuits regarding pharmaceutical experiments dropped."
Ginny didn't respond to that, but instead looked at Drake and said, "I heard your company is planning to build the Second Life 2 spaceship, but you don't have enough Kingpin."
Upon hearing Ginny's words, Drake instantly understood that this United Kingdom company wanted a piece of the pie.
"Our Life Foundation is indeed preparing to build the Life II spaceship, but we don't have any funding shortfall."
Ginny said coldly, "Mr. Drake, if that's your stance, then it seems there's no room for negotiation. It seems you have quite a bit of money available for your bailout."
"I just don't know if that'll be enough to sustain you until you've finished building the spaceship and are ready for a second takeoff."
Drake's expression changed, and he looked at Ginny, saying, "Are you the ones who are driving down the stock price of my Lifeline Foundation?"
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Ginny tossed the list of thirty patients who had died after the drug trial onto the table, then said to Drake:
"I wonder how much your company's stock price will be left after you win this lawsuit."
Drake's expression darkened further as he looked at the list of lawsuits Ginny produced, but he still asked in a low voice, "What do you want?"
Ginny laughed and said, "We want to make money."
"I happen to be quite interested in your company's ideas. Since you've started building a second spaceship so quickly after the first one crashed, what discoveries have you made?"
Drake said with a slightly regretful expression, "It's a great pity that there were no major discoveries this time."
"Therefore, it is even more necessary to send a second spacecraft to explore new habitats. We cannot give up completely because of one failure."
"This project is a long-term endeavor, and may require two, three, or even more explorations before new habitats suitable for human habitation can be discovered."
"Ms. Ginny, how much are you willing to invest in this project? Or what kind of cooperation are you willing to explore?"
