I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

In just three days, Lin Chen was successfully discharged from the hospital.

Afterwards, Fang Zhengyang drove them back to the branch of the Supernatural Research Institute.

But what the two men and their entourage did not expect was that this supernatural research institute had been completely blocked, and the people outside also prevented them from entering.

"What do you mean?!"

When Lin Chen saw this scene, his face instantly turned cold. He soon realized something, because he saw that the person in front of him was a member of the Tianhai City branch of the [Headquarters for Human Civilization to Response to Supernatural Disasters].

This is a branch of the Supernatural Research Institute. No matter what happens, it should not be the responsibility of the people at the headquarters.

The other party showed up here after suffering heavy losses at the Supernatural Research Institute and solving important supernatural incidents. So it was obvious what he wanted to do...

"You must be Dr. Lin, right?" At this moment, a young man with sharp eyes and bright eyebrows walked out of the research institute, followed by an assistant. He said with a smile, "I am Zhang Ran, the captain of the Tianhai City headquarters branch. I will be responsible for all matters here..."

The other party was very easy to talk to, as if he was really doing his job, but Lin Chen was not impressed at all. Instead, he sneered:

"What? Seeing that our people are dying, and we have made a great contribution, are you planning to come over and pick some peaches?!"

"Brother Lin, you're worrying too much. We're just here to maintain order at the scene. At the same time, we're here specifically to prevent any hidden dangers of supernatural events. We have no other intentions, so please don't think too much about it." Zhang Ran said with a smile.

"Oh, what about the supernatural things after the pseudo-human incident was dealt with? The [bio-printer] and [clone culture chamber] sent by my mentor are now in it. I need to go in." Lin Chen said coldly.

"That won't work. No one can enter or leave until we are sure that this incident has been completely resolved." Zhang Ran had a smile on his face, but he did not give in at all.

"What if I try to force my way in?!" Lin Chen narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

“Then we have no choice but to take special measures and arrest all those who break in!” The smile on Zhang Ran’s face disappeared at this moment. He stared into Lin Chen’s eyes and did not back down even a step.

Lin Chen frowned, glanced at the soldiers surrounding him, estimated his own combat power, and decided to act according to circumstances:

"I hope you won't regret this today!"

After saying this, he got into the car and seemed to drive away.

"Brother, are we just going to let them go like this?" asked the assistant behind Zhang Ran.

"What else do we want to do? A fight?!" Zhang Ran snorted coldly and walked out with his men. "Come on, stop talking nonsense. Follow me immediately. Arrange for the family's researchers to come over and take over the various supernatural objects and precious resources in this institute..."

"yes!"

beep--!

Soon, the car started.

The car drove out of here and came to the highway.

Zhang Ran leaned against the car window, holding his chin with his hand, with an unclear expression.

He observed the files and determined that the young doctor named Lin was no good and that his performance in this supernatural incident was exceptionally outstanding, very different from that of ordinary people.

But such a person, faced with his behavior of picking peaches today, actually retreated so easily?

Could it be that the other party has some backup plan...

"cousin……"

Just as he was deep in thought, the assistant sitting next to him, who was also his cousin, seemed to want to ask something at this moment, but ultimately stopped himself from speaking.

"Just ask whatever you want to ask." Zhang Ran looked out the window as cars sped past without turning back.

"Brother, I don't understand. This is clearly someone else's credit, why should we snatch it away? Wouldn't this offend people?" After hesitating for a long time, the assistant finally asked this question with a flushed face.

Zhang Ran did not give a direct answer, but asked a seemingly irrelevant question:

"Do you know how many people died in order to deal with this supernatural incident?"

Before the assistant could answer, he said to himself:

"Five hundred and twenty-one people. This was a supernatural event that required the deployment of two exoskeleton armor special forces, led by a member of the civilized academician himself. In the end, a miracle was required to successfully suppress it. If our headquarters were to handle this, how many people would have to die? And among them, would you or I become one of the vegetative patients lying in the hospital?"

"Now that the incident has been resolved, and the manpower involved has suffered heavy losses, we only need to take advantage of the opportunity to reap the benefits. With the help of the people above, it will be equivalent to resolving a Grade A supernatural incident. Do you know how great an achievement this is?"

"If converted into resources, it would at least allow our Zhang family to form three exoskeleton armored special forces, at least ten genetically modified superhuman warriors, nano suits, power armor, nano robot repair capsules, ownership of a BSL-4 laboratory, and backup of the super sci-fi weapon [Portable Industrial Park] created by the civilized academician... Do you know how important these resources are to our Zhang family in this era of frequent supernatural events?!"

"But this is someone else's credit after all..." the assistant couldn't help but say in a low voice.

"So what? Since ancient times, there have been so many hard-working people, but how many of them can be promoted? There are so many people who do things, but how many of them can really get the credit?" Zhang Ran said with a cold expression, without any guilt, "The credit is great, but he also needs to have the relationship and the ability to keep it!"

"If it were peacetime, we would only take a portion of this great achievement and would have to make adequate compensation, but it's different now..."

"Before the disaster of evolution breaks out completely, any competition for resources can determine future survival. It's like two unarmed people encountering a wild beast in the forest. Only the one who runs faster can survive. The competition for these resources will determine how fast we run in the future. When it comes to life, if others take more resources, you will take less. Since we have the opportunity to pick peaches, how can we miss it?!"

After the disaster of idealistic invasion broke out, human civilization was vaguely divided into two factions.

One group is led by civilized academicians and advocates that all mankind work together to overcome the disaster.

This is not only because of how noble the civilized academicians are, but also because there are almost no stupid people who can reach the level of academician.

They all know very well that any technological development requires sufficient population, and the more they want to advance the technology, the more population they need.

Because with the continuous development of science and technology, the branches of various fields are constantly becoming more and more refined. Only a population with a large enough base can produce enough high-quality talents to support the comprehensive development of various fields and the progress of the entire civilization.

Therefore, when disaster strikes, whether they like it or not, under the common needs of faith and interests, they must preserve most of the population of human civilization. Otherwise, the number of extinctions will be too great to support the development of science and technology. Even academicians of civilization with supernatural sci-fi weapons may not be able to survive.

The other group is mainly composed of people who control the allocation of many social resources.

In their view, someone will eventually solve this disaster and they will eventually overcome it, but they need to consider how to avoid becoming the sacrifice and how to reap the fruits of victory after overcoming the disaster.

This is just like the battles between ancient armies. Ordinary soldiers only need to devote themselves to the battlefield, obey orders, and kill the enemy desperately, while the commanders in the rear have to consider much more.

After all, who will sit in this position, who will get the money, and how to divide the benefits are all things that require some thought.

So now in the entire federation, the Institute of Supernatural Studies is gathering all the human elites to consider how to survive this disaster, while many people at the headquarters are considering how to sacrifice others rather than themselves, and how to divide the post-war pie... and conflicts arise in this way.

Even though both sides have managed to fight but not break each other under the tremendous pressure of the disaster, the competition for resources has reached a white-hot stage.

This is like two people encountering a tiger in the woods. The one fully armed will naturally run faster than the naked one.

"So it's not that we are stupid and would risk offending a civilized academician to reap the benefits, but we have no choice but to do so... I can't tell you in detail the ins and outs of this." Zhang Ran sighed softly.

But then he added:

"Logically speaking, since we have offended the other party, we should offend him to death and not allow him any chance to make a comeback. However, the mentor behind him is, after all, a civilized academician..."

At this point, Zhang Ran seemed to think for a while, then turned his head and looked at the assistant beside him:

"If I remember correctly, your sister is already eighteen years old, has fair skin and beautiful looks, and is also a student at Tianhai University... Ask her to come over tomorrow. I have something to discuss with you."

"Brother, what are you doing..." The assistant understood something at this moment, and his face suddenly changed, "But my sister already has a boyfriend, and they are very much in love..."

"So what?!" Zhang Ran's face turned cold at this moment, "He is just a poor boy from the countryside. In terms of interests and value, how can he be worthy of our Zhang family!"

"But my sister won't agree, especially to a family marriage..." the assistant hesitated.

"She has no say in this!" Zhang Ran's tone was more severe than ever before. "The family has paid so much to train her. Now is not the time for her to throw a tantrum! You have to listen to me even if you don't want to!"

"But cousin, don't you also have a sister?" asked the assistant.

"She is a direct descendant of the Zhang family and has been trained to be a lady from a noble family. She should marry someone who is destined to become an academician of civilization. Only in this way can she bring out the greatest value. A little Lin Chen is not qualified!" Zhang Ran waved his hand.

"Then why let my sister..." The assistant was a little dissatisfied

"Of course, it's to make friends with him. Although he's just a PhD, he has Fang Changqing, an academician of the Civilization Academy, behind him. He's no small figure without connections or background." Zhang Ran said coldly, "Since there's no way to solve the problem completely, we can only make friends with him. Otherwise, are you really going to let a potential enemy develop freely?"

"What's more, what we did was not very decent after all. It can even be said that we were taking advantage of others. Academician Fang would take action for both emotional and logical reasons. This is also a big problem for our Zhang family."

"So why not just marry a legitimate daughter and bring Lin Chen into our group? This way, we can not only turn hostility into friendship, but also bring him into the research of pseudo-humans, giving him more help, and even establish a relationship with the mentor behind him... This is a plan that kills three birds with one stone. Not only does it not involve provoking any enemies, but it can also increase the foundation of our Zhang family. Isn't that wonderful?"

"Not to mention that we marry our daughter there, which is not stealing the credit, but sharing it. Then we give her a dowry worth tens of millions, a mansion, a high position and generous salary, which shows the kindness and generosity of our Zhang family. In this way, how many heroes will be attracted? How much reputation will the trustworthiness shown win for our Zhang family?"

"Both the name and the weapon are ours. This is the foundation that our Zhang family can pass down from generation to generation!"

"This..." The assistant beside him was dumbfounded, and then he was deeply impressed, "Brother, I finally understand why the head of the family has chosen you as the next generation heir..."

Zhang Ran picked up the thermos cup he brought with him and took a sip of the tea inside. "You still need to read and learn more about the human relationships and interests involved in this matter and how to apply them to one's heart!"

"My cousin is so talented. We will definitely follow him and work together to contribute to his development and achieve great things!" When he said this, the assistant's face was full of excitement.

Zhang Ran saw this scene and nodded with satisfaction.

It was worth his preaching. He hoped that his cousin could achieve something. After all, when running a business, only family members can be trusted.

"In that case, go back and make some arrangements. Let my cousin dress up nicely. Tomorrow I will find an opportunity to get her into the research institute to be the secretary of that Lin Chen..." As Zhang Ran was speaking, he suddenly heard the driver's terrified cry.

"Master, run!!!"

Um?!

Zhang Ran heard the voice and turned his head subconsciously.

He saw a fully loaded oil truck, which seemed to have lost control at this moment, and was chasing his car fiercely!

Then...

Bang!

A violent explosion occurred on the cross-river bridge, and even formed a huge fireball that exploded and completely enveloped the entire place!

…

"So don't drive after drinking, especially if you are a driver transporting dangerous goods..."

On the other side, Lin Chen lowered his middle finger from his forehead.

If the other party had not taken a few sips before hitting the road and was a little confused, with his mortal body, he really would not be able to operate a driver who has been on the road for years.

"If the engine explodes once and the tanker explodes once more, and I interfere, I guess he has no hope of survival. What a pity. He is also a smart man..."

Lin Chen sighed slightly. This kind of person acts in a measured and orderly manner. Not only is he extremely decisive in his actions, but he is also extremely smart.

Knowing what to say to people, you can either turn them into complete enemies, offend them to death, and not give them any chance to turn things around, or you can maintain superficial peace and then use great benefits to pull them over and turn enemies into friends, instead of making enemies everywhere.

"If it were in the mortal world, with this kind of scheming, this family could at least become a high-ranking official, or even a powerful ruler in troubled times. But unfortunately, they encountered this changing world."

"Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't mind playing with you, but unfortunately... time is not on my side!"

Lin Chen's tone suddenly became sharp at this moment. He stood up suddenly and led the team to the Supernatural Research Institute again:

"I killed all those who dared to stretch out their claws. Now I want to see who dares to pick peaches?!" (End of this chapter)
