The doctor said progress on his end was fairly good, but he still needed some time to finish the remote control. He was anxious too, eager to put it into research on silicon-based life-forms once it was completed.
I had agreed to let him study the people we had captured this time, but on the condition that he did not harm them and preserved their combat strength.
Of course, the most important thing was for him to finish upgrading the chips first. At the very least, those thirty or forty people had to be put to use by us. Only by truly controlling them could we avoid a great deal of trouble. Otherwise, merely keeping them imprisoned would be an extremely difficult task.
Naturally, the doctor accepted the responsibility without hesitation.
He had even brought his team over and set up a laboratory near the base.
Xie Yi also attached great importance to this matter, so he made special arrangements for the laboratory's security. The doctor's absolute safety had to be guaranteed while ensuring that every experiment could proceed smoothly.
However, Xie Yi insisted that the results of the experiments had to be reported to the relevant departments, including research institutions such as the Academy of Sciences. It was essentially having the doctor set an example for them, so they would have the ability to handle similar situations in the future.
I had no objections to Xie Yi's request.
After all, dealing with outsiders was not something our base could handle alone. In the near future, the war against the outsiders would surely become a war involving everyone. Only with more people joining us would we have a chance of winning.
Although we held the advantage in terms of population, thinking it over carefully, that might instead become our weakness.
