Chapter 126: The Bat Event (8) It took Stark about 20 minutes to carefully read through the report. Then he threw the stack of papers on the table and said, "Nonsense throughout." "Anyone with a college-level or higher education in biology can tell that this is complete rubbish," he continued. "After all, I'm just a psychologist with no background in biology, and this is just an outline. The specifics will depend on you genius scientists," he hesitated, picking up the report again. "It might seem reasonable to a layperson, but in reality, it's absurd. But come to think of it, it does make some sense..." Stark looked conflicted as he held the report and said, "Vampire blood containing immortal factors that humans can utilize? That's too far-fetched... But okay, can you explain this part in detail?" "Didn't Dr. Connors already mention it? Their blood contains a type of magic factor that science cannot decipher. So I gave it a name, 'immortal factor.' Is that too much?" replied the other person. "Well, I guess that's somewhat plausible, considering you're the only one who understands magic among us. Besides..." Stark hesitated and asked, "Are you sure this factor can really grant immortality?" "Whether it can truly grant immortality is not important. What matters is, when you saw this conclusion, did you feel any excitement?" the person replied. "Or, when you asked that question just now, what were you thinking?" Stark pursed his lips, lowered his gaze, and casually placed the stack of materials down. "Okay, I admit, any human would have had that thought. How wonderful it would be to live forever..." "I am not greedy, but I really feel that if I could have 500 years... no, just 300 years, I could really change the world..." His Adam's apple moved, then he turned his head to look out the window and said, "You're really a devil. When I saw this sentence, for a moment, I even wanted to use some uncontrollable power to capture and study these monsters..." "No one can resist this temptation," Schiller said. "Even if he is a saint, when faced with a lifespan of less than 100 years, he will feel a sense of sadness." "That's humanity. Humans often live briefly but brilliantly, and we often take pride in that." "But if it could be less brief, would you not be moved?" Stark shrugged and said, "Well, are you trying to persuade Congress and the Security Council to go after vampires by making them want immortality?" "No, I want to persuade you." "Persuade me? Persuade me to do what? Isn't my determination to deal with vampires strong enough? Even without this temptation, I would want to eliminate them all." "The problem is the method of elimination. Your individual Mech armor is not very effective against them, but once you use large-scale armed forces, it will attract too much attention from powerful entities. However, you still have a better option." "What do you mean?" Schiller took a pair of headphones out of his coat pocket and handed them to Stark, then said, "I've arranged a guest, and he should be in the conference room by now." "Thank you for giving me the highest level of security permission, which allows me to invite others as you to visit." "Wait! Whom did you invite?" Stark put on his headphones, then he was pushed out of the laboratory by Schiller. He had a very bad feeling, Stark said, "Don't tell me you invited some important political figure from Congress here. My goodness! I can't handle them! No! Wait... I'm not going..." "Don't worry, it's not those politicians." "Think about it, the raw materials are falling from the sky now. Whether it's Congress military or any other power, they will support us." But Stark said, "I have to remind you that we can't actually decipher the magical factor in their blood, and it's also uncertain whether there's an effect of eternal life..." "Is that important?" Norman stared at Stark and said, "Not being able to decipher it is the best. Something that can't be deciphered, we can't prove that it's useful, but no one can prove that it's useless either." Norman held the plan book and flipped through it again, saying, "Eternal life factor? Indeed, the name may be a bit exaggerated, but it's not a drug, it's just a health product, and the effect needs to be based on actual results." "We don't need to promote it ourselves. Vampires are a living example. They can all live forever and heal quickly when injured." "Everything happening in Brooklyn is the best advertisement." "Everyone knows that there is a species that can live for hundreds or thousands of years, fighting against humans with extremely fast healing ability." "Soon, the aftermath of this event will continue to ferment, and the whole world will know about the situation where vampires have invaded humans. Their characteristics will also be written on the front page of every newspaper." "What is this? This is a world-wide, highly exposed publicity! What advertisement can compare to this kind of publicity?" "At this time, with the two companies joining forces, you know, the industrial giant Stark and the pharmaceutical giant Osborne, we can prove that there is a mysterious factor in the blood of vampires that can prolong human life, right? After all, they are immortal." "This can even open up a new field of industry for the study of medicinal value of extraterrestrial species." Stark followed Schiller's words and said, "Not just vampires, there may be other creatures in the future." "And what we need to do is to use our scientific and technological credibility to tell the world that these species have significant medicinal value." "That's right!" Norman clenched his fist and said, "I also think so. Once this is successful, everyone will believe that we have the ability to distinguish the research value of foreign species. Indeed, we can completely open up a new industry, which will bring unimaginable profits." Finally, Norman stood up without any hesitation and said, "I will now organize experts to refine this planbook, Mr. Stark. I have to say, although this idea is genius, your planbook is not very professional." Seeing Stark's face getting darker, Norman continued, "But I know that's because you want to see the sincerity of Osborn Industries, so you deliberately did it this way. I don't believe that Stark Industries can't find a few biologists." "But it's only natural, your idea is already worth billions in profits. I didn't expect Stark Industries and Osborn Bio Group to start cooperating in this situation." "But I have to say, this is definitely a good start. You will understand that Osborn is a rare and trustworthy partner in this world." After finishing, Norman and Stark shook hands again and then hurriedly left. Stark was still a bit confused and said, "What did he mean just now? I feel like he misunderstood something?" "It's okay, he didn't say anything wrong. It's just that the biologists hired by Stark Industries are busy saving the world..." "...In a physical sense."
