"This is the biology lab, and this is Professor Connors."
Li Wei continued showing Hope around.
After leaving Otto's lab, Hope's mouth was already hanging wide enough to fit an egg.
Then they arrived at Professor Connors's lab.
Professor Connors's lab was full of experimental animals. It was like walking into a zoo.
Researchers in white coats bustled about, recording data.
Back at the university, Professor Connors could simply use his students' time for free.
Students really were great, weren't they? Free labor...
That was no longer an option, so he had to hire people.
Li Wei handed Professor Connors a case containing the T-virus.
"Professor Connors, what's in here is extremely important. It must never get out."
Li Wei stressed the warning and had the Red Queen raise security to the highest level.
The Red Queen and the T-virus together made Li Wei inexplicably uneasy...
Hope already knew about the artificial intelligence, so she was less shocked by it.
"Understood."
Professor Connors was serious too.
He stepped aside and carefully placed the T-virus and its antidote behind bulletproof glass.
Then he took out the T-virus research materials and began reading.
As for the woman touring the lab, she was none of his concern.
Li Wei began explaining the work to Hope.
Hope was actually quite familiar with Professor Connors.
Thanks to Li Wei's publicity, everyone knew what he was working on.
If he succeeded, it would be a huge step forward for humanity.
Seeing that the experiments really had come this far surprised her.
She had thought it was a scam...
Like that Silicon Valley woman's company.
In America, plenty of supposed new "technologies" existed only to swindle investors.
And as someone in the industry, Hope knew just how much of a "miracle" this was.
"This isn't scientific."
That
